Jeffrey L. Kosky focuses on a handful of artists — Walter De Maria, Diller + Scofidio, James Turrell, and Andy Goldworthy to show how they introduce spaces hospitable to mystery and wonder, redemption and revelation, and transcendence and creation.

Summary:
Jeffrey L. Kosky focuses on a handful of artists — Walter De Maria, Diller + Scofidio, James Turrell, and Andy Goldworthy to show how they introduce spaces hospitable to mystery and wonder, redemption and revelation, and transcendence and creation. What might be thought of as religious longings, he argues, are crucial aspects of enchanting secularity when developed through encounters with these works of art. Developing a model of religion that might be significant to secular culture, Kosky shows how this model can be employed to deepen interpretation of the art we usually view as representing secular modernity.

Summary:
The barricade was always a makeshift construction (the word derives from barrique or barrel), and in working-class districts these ersatz fortifications could spread like wildfire. They doubled as a stage, from which insurgents could harangue soldiers and subvert their allegiance. Their symbolic power persisted into May 1968 and, more recently, the Occupy(...)

They doubled as a stage, from which insurgents could harangue soldiers and subvert their allegiance. Their symbolic power persisted into May 1968 and, more recently, the Occupy movements. Hazan traces the many stages in the barricade’s evolution, from the Wars of Religion through to the Paris Commune, drawing on the work of thinkers throughout the periods examined to illustrate and bring to life the violent practicalities of revolutionary uprising.

Intrigued by the evocative relationship between technologies of inscription and psychic processes, Derrida offers for the first time a major statement on the pervasive impact of electronic media, particularly e-mail, which threaten to transform the entire public and private space of humanity. Plying this rich material with characteristic virtuosity, Derrida constructs a synergistic reading of archives and archiving, both provocative and compelling.

In the late 1960s, the feminist scholar Kate Millet broadly defined "politics" as arrangements of power which enable individuals collectively to assert authority over others. Taking this definition, case studies by scholars from Europe and Israel explore the gendered professional in the 20th century as she navigated arrangements of power-including organised religion, emancipation movements, cultural norms, and shifting forms of government - to practice architecture. Additional contributions reflect upon power structures in contemporary architectural education, practice, and history to propose other means of architectural knowledge, representation, and professional activity.

Les textes très accessibles s'associent de façon originale à près de 800 images en couleur pour transmettre les dimensions voilées du sens. Chacun de ces quelques 350 essais examine les origines psychiques d'un symbole donné et la manière dont il évoque les processus et dynamiques psychiques. Les racines étymologiques, les jeux d'opposition, le paradoxe et l'ombre, les différentes manières dont les diverses cultures ont fait naître une image symbolique: tous ces facteurs sont pris en compte. Rédigés par des auteurs spécialisés dans les domaines de la psychologie, de la religion, de l'art, de la littérature et de la mythologie comparée, les essais entrent en résonance de manière à refléter les correspondances inattendues de la psyché. Il n'existe pas de définitions immuables, qui auraient tendance à écraser les symboles; un symbole encore essentiel demeure partiellement inconnu, attire notre attention et s'offre sous de nouvelles manifestations et de nouveaux sens au cours du temps. Plutôt que de proposer de simples catégories, le Livre des symboles met en lumière la manière dont on passe de l'expérience visuelle d'une image symbolique dans l'art, la religion, la vie ou les rêves, à l'expérience directe de ses résonances personnelles et psychologiques.
