Pour l'anthropologue, le paysage est un construit social et consiste en une représentation qui n'a pas de réalité objective. Comme objet politique, le paysage est l'enjeu d'une lutte entre divers acteurs pour le définir de manière particulière.

Summary:
Pour l'anthropologue, le paysage est un construit social et consiste en une représentation qui n'a pas de réalité objective. Comme objet politique, le paysage est l'enjeu d'une lutte entre divers acteurs pour le définir de manière particulière. Le concept de posture paysagère décrit le discours et la position observable prise par un individu face à un paysage en lien avec sa profession, son origine sociale, son histoire personnelle, etc. Cette théorie anthropologique du paysage nous permet de proposer des outils pratiques pour une négociation paysagère : reconnaître que chacun représente une (ou plusieurs) postures paysagères conduit à des prises de position plus souples et ouvre au dialogue.

A partir de la publication d'essais, d'entretiens, d'interventions et de comptes rendus d'exposition réalisés par des artistes, des écrivains, des théoriciens, la revue a également pour objectif d'interroger l'économie de la production des savoirs – notamment l'espace d'indistinction entre information et publicité caractéristique de notre époque. Ceci implique un dialogue avec des formes de critique issues d'autres champs.

Summary:
What makes a city a city? Who says? Drafted over decades out of a dialogue between artist and author Nika Dubrovsky, the late anthropologist David Graeber, and Nika's then four-year-old son, this delightful and provocative book ''Cities Made Differently'' opens a space for invention and collaboration. Fusing anthropology, literature, play, and drawing, the book is essentially a visual essay that asks us to reconsider our ideas about cities and the people who inhabit them. Drawing us into a world of history and myth, science and imagination, Graeber and Dubrovsky invite us to rethink the worlds we inhabit—because we can, and nothing is too strange or too wonderful to be true.

Summary:
Grace Ndiritu delves into radical approaches to education, drawing from her self-directed research in alternative, nomadic, and spiritual communities. Her experiences - from Buddhist monasteries to permaculture communities - profoundly shaped her understanding of embodied learning and its relevance in times of social upheaval. "Being together: A manual for living" reflects on these themes, weaving voices from her social practices to explore collective action and shared destiny within the context of contemporary art education. This second edition, enriched with new essays, deepens the dialogue around these ideas. Published alongside her solo exhibition "The compassionate rebels, tools for everyday living part 1" at Page Not Found, the book extends the exhibition’s exploration of transformative educational practices and communal living.

Summary:
"Against reason: Volume 2" is the companion publication to Tony Smith Catalogue Raisonné: Architecture, the second in a two-volume, four-book printed publication series dedicated to Tony Smith's sculpture and architecture.

Quaytman, and Jasmine Rault. Their contributions from a wide range of disciplines— from American studies, architecture, and art history to theory, design, and visual art—place Smith's architectural design work in dialogue with contemporary culture, expanding perspectives on the artist's canonical work and offering fresh twenty-first-century insights.

Summary:
Experimentation and dialogue are central to the creative process of Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano, and in their works light, matter, and space are as intimately connected as they are to landscape, history, and architecture. This is clear from the texts in which the architects themselves interpret each one of the twenty-two projects in the monograph at hand, a double volume which covers their career over the last twelve years, a fertile period in which the office, from its studios based in Madrid and Berlin, has strengthened its presence outside Spain, with buildings as the Arvo Pärt Center in Estonia, the Archive of the Avant-Garde, or Montblanc Haus, both in Germany.
