Summary:
Drawing on architecture, performance art, history and visual theory, ''In search of African American space'' explores the creative relationship between the African diaspora and social space in America. Illustrated with vintage adverts, maps, posters and architectural plans, and organized thematically, this anthology, edited by Jeffrey Hogrefe and Scott Ruff at the Pratt Institute in New York, is divided into three sections. The anthology is organized thematically, presenting African American space in a broad cultural context. The section ''The monument, memorial, and mundane,'' explores the analytical methods of architects Scott Ruff, Yolande Daniels, Rodney Leon, Elizabeth Kennedy, Sara Caples and Everardo Jefferson, who have dedicated their studies and practices to examining spatial typologies related to the African diaspora. As architects working directly in the afterlife of slavery, conscious of spatial performances of opposition in relationship to architecture, they introduce their own interpretations of African American space from their personal experiences and a dedication to an aspect of practice that has been operating largely outside of the academy.

Summary:
« Soleil of Persian Square »' est une recherche sur l’identité visuelle du style de vie de la diaspora iranienne à Los Angeles. Elle tente de donner un visage à cette ville fictionnelle qui a pour nom Tehrangeles, et que Hannah Darabi a découverte à travers des images associées à la musique populaire dans ses années d’adolescence. Il s’agit ici de tisser des liens entre des paysages ordinaires de Los Angeles et d’Orange County — comme porteurs de traces de cette diaspora iranienne —, des portraits de ses habitants, et des objets issus de la culture populaire, tels que des pochettes de cassettes, des paroles de chansons, des captures d’écran de clips musicaux des années 1980 et 1990, ou encore des pages d’annuaires consacrés aux activités de cette diaspora. « Soleil of Persian Square » ne désigne en effet pas seulement un voyage de l’espace réel à celui de l’imaginaire, mais aussi un mode de vie et une façon de penser incarnés dans la culture populaire. Cette culture, qui se positionne aujourd’hui en opposition avec les valeurs morales du régime iranien actuel, et que les intellectuels laïques critiquent par ailleurs pour son côté « low art », a pourtant survécu, notamment à travers la musique pop de Tehrangeles. Cette musique que nous aimons « détester » n’a jamais perdu sa place dans le cœur de cette nation dispersée, et n’a cessé de faire bouger nos corps, que ce soit dans un taxi à Téhéran, chez les amis de Paris, ou dans un concert à Toronto. Il a été tiré de cet ouvrage trente exemplaires de tête, accompagnés d’une affiche et d’une cassette de Post California coproduite par GwinZegal et Anywave. Avec le soutien à l’édition du Centre national des arts plastiques.
