Et si l’on regardait le Monde autrement ? C’est à cela que ce livre s’attache. Il part du constat que bien des analyses de l’évolution du Monde contemporain insistent sur son uniformisation irrémédiable. La standardisation des paysages, des objets et des pratiques, imposée par la globalisation du capitalisme financiarisé, installerait un espace lisse et « plat », où les(...)

Summary:
Et si l’on regardait le Monde autrement ? C’est à cela que ce livre s’attache. Il part du constat que bien des analyses de l’évolution du Monde contemporain insistent sur son uniformisation irrémédiable. La standardisation des paysages, des objets et des pratiques, imposée par la globalisation du capitalisme financiarisé, installerait un espace lisse et « plat », où les distances disparaissent, où chaque position vaut une autre, où les différences culturelles s’estompent, où l’individu est aliéné et sa sociabilité appauvrie. Or, une observation attentive confronte immédiatement à des situations bien plus complexes. En effet, il est frappant de constater que le Monde se différencie de plus en plus en lieux qui s’affirment comme des « prises » sur la mondialisation, des attracteurs et des ancrages de la vie sociale. Ce sont des endroits où la co-habitation des individus se concrétise, se réalise et s’éprouve dans toute sa richesse, sa créativité et son intensité d’expérience vécue. Les « hyper-lieux », où convergent les humains et les réalités matérielles et immatérielles, en sont l’emblème : bon gré mal gré, des sociétés s’y composent et même des formes politiques nouvelles s’y ébauchent. Ainsi le Monde est à la fois toujours plus globalisé et homogène et de plus en plus localisé et hétérogène : cette tension est constitutive des nouvelles géographies de la mondialisation.

Summary:
Les villes peuvent-elles changer le monde ? Considérées comme les espaces où se joueront en grande partie les luttes politiques du XXIe siècle, les villes tardent pourtant à susciter l’attention qu’elles méritent dans les cercles progressistes. Pour Jonathan Durand Folco, la gauche doit urgemment investir cet espace politique qui est au centre des enjeux sociaux, économiques et écologiques du XXIe siècle et qui possède un potentiel de transformation inédit. Prenant appui sur de solides bases théoriques, nourri des expériences d’ici et d’ailleurs, l’auteur expose les contours d’une nouvelle stratégie politique : le municipalisme. Il montre que la ville est au cœur des contradictions du capitalisme avancé, qu’une tension de plus en plus forte s’exprime entre le développement de la « ville néolibérale » et les revendications du « droit à la ville », et que la question écologique, la spéculation immobilière et la défense des communs sont au centre des mobilisations citoyennes. Cherchant à dépasser le clivage ville/région et à surmonter les écueils posés par les stratégies de transformation sociale « par le haut » ou « par le bas », Jonathan Durand Folco donne des pistes pour s’organiser et passer à l’action. Comment penser le front municipal ? Comment articuler les échelles locale, nationale et internationale dans la perspective d’une République sociale vue comme Commune des communes ? À quels problèmes organisationnels faisons-nous face ? Cela passerait-il par la création d’un Réseau d’action municipale ? Et selon quelles valeurs et quels principes organisationnels ? Autant de questions auxquelles tente de répondre l’auteur pour réhabiliter la municipalité comme espace politique et vecteur de transformation sociale.

Summary:
The Las Vegas Strip has impersonated the Wild West, with saloon doors and wagon wheels; it has decked itself out in midcentury modern sleekness. It has illuminated itself with twenty-story-high neon signs, then junked them. After that came Disney-like theme parks featuring castles and pirates, followed by replicas of Venetian canals, New York skyscrapers, and the Eiffel Tower. (It might be noted that forty-two million people visited Las Vegas in 2015—ten million more than visited the real Paris.) More recently, the Strip decided to get classy, with casinos designed by famous architects and zillion-dollar collections of art. Las Vegas became the “implosion capital of the world” as developers, driven by competition, got rid of the old to make way for the new—offering a non-metaphorical definition of “creative destruction.” In "The StripW, Stefan Al examines the many transformations of the Las Vegas Strip, arguing that they mirror transformations in America itself. The Strip is not, as popularly supposed, a display of architectural freaks but representative of architectural trends and a record of social, cultural, and economic change.

Summary:
Water lies at the intersection of landscape and infrastructure, crossing between visible and invisible domains of urban space, in the tanks and buckets of the global South and the vast subterranean technological networks of the global North. In this book, Matthew Gandy considers the cultural and material significance of water through the experiences of six cities: Paris, Berlin, Lagos, Mumbai, Los Angeles, and London. Tracing the evolving relationships among modernity, nature, and the urban imagination, from different vantage points and through different periods, Gandy uses water as a lens through which to observe both the ambiguities and the limits of nature as conventionally understood.

Summary:
In this survey of the politics and meanings of urban landscapes, leading sociologist Göran Therborn offers a tour of the world’s major capital cities, showing how they have been shaped by national, popular, and global forces. Their stories begin with the emergence of various kinds of nation-state, each with its own special capital city problematic. In turn, radical shifts of power have impacted on these cities’ development, in popular urban reforms or movements of protest and resistance; in the rise and fall of fascism and military dictatorships; and the coming and going of Communism. Therborn also analyzes global moments of urban formation, of historical globalized nationalism, as well as the cities of current global image capitalism and their variations of skyscraping, gating, and displays of novelty. Through a global, historical lens, and with a thematic range extending from the mutations of modernist architecture to the contemporary return of urban revolutions, Therborn questions received assumptions about the source, manifestations, and reach of urban power, combining perspectives on politics, sociology, urban planning, architecture, and urban iconography. He argues that, at a time when they seem to be moving apart, there is a strong link between the city and the nation-state, and that the current globalization of cities is largely driven by the global aspirations of politicians as well as those of national and local capital. With its unique systematic overview, from Washington, D.C. and revolutionary Paris to the flamboyant twenty- first-century capital Astana in Kazakhstan, its wealth of urban observations from all the populated continents, and its sharp and multi-faceted analyses, Cities of Power forces us to rethink our urban future, as well as our historically shaped present.

"Tales from the dark side of the city" is a book series that forms an atlas to the territories and stories of a city that stretches across the entire planet, a city that sits between documentary and fiction, a city of dislocated sites, of drone footage and hidden-camera investigations, of interviews and speculative narratives, of toxic objects and distributed matter from distant grounds. They are a collection of tales from the constellation of elsewheres that are conjured into being by the city’s wants and needs, fears and dreams. The series includes stories developed from expeditions through Bolivia and the Atacama Desert, the Western Australian Outback, the South China Sea and Inner Mongolia, the gemfields of Madagascar, Far North Alaska and the black sites of the United States.

Over the last decade, Copenhagen has undergone a major transformation – not just in its appearance, but in the way the city functions and is experienced by its residents. COBE’s projects are spread out over Copenhagen, but they aren’t cookie-cutter buildings that are placed without meaning or context. Each structure is highly aware of what the local markers mean in a globalised world. What unites them is the architects’ desire to achieve a more sustainable, socially inviting urban environment for city residents. This monograph speaks to all those who live and work in cities, with contributions ranging from established architects and architecture critics to the those in municipal and urban planning roles and the residents themselves.
