Summary:
Author Sukhdev Sandhu and filmmaker Deborah Stratman explore critical debates around the Anthropocene, monumentality, and the politics of audibility by turning to geology as an experimental pedagogy and an archive. Drawing on speculative fiction and forensic non-fiction, contributors extend Stratman’s long standing engagement with the politics of landscape and, collectively, ask, How can we begin to formulate a progressive politics—or even a vision of the future—by listening to the Earth?

Summary:
Edith Dekyndt's artistic approach results in a disturbing observation of the physical phenomena taking place before our very eyes, or even in certain cases, within our eyes. Just as science fiction produces the supernatural from the rational, fantasy and strangeness are no longer the result of superstitious attitudes, as in the age of fantastic and fabulous stories, but(...)

Summary:
Edith Dekyndt's artistic approach results in a disturbing observation of the physical phenomena taking place before our very eyes, or even in certain cases, within our eyes. Just as science fiction produces the supernatural from the rational, fantasy and strangeness are no longer the result of superstitious attitudes, as in the age of fantastic and fabulous stories, but the lucid vision of a world whose reality revealed by science now reaches beyond fiction.

Summary:
Bien plus qu’un ebook, le livre peut être un objet écologiquement vertueux. À certaines conditions cependant… Or depuis vingt ans, l’objet livre et ses usages se sont profondément transformés – concentration du monde de l’édition, délocalisation des impressions, essor du numérique, etc. Dans une série de petites écofictions, des libraires se sont réuni.e.s pour imaginer le livre du futur. Le résultat : une invitation à ouvrir nos imaginaires, et à penser l’ensemble des interactions liées au livre comme un écosystème – un milieu de vie, tissé et soutenu par un réseau d’interdépendances. Exigences nouvelles des lecteurs, éco-responsabilité, interprofession, « bibliodiversité » : autour de quels piliers voulons-nous construire la chaîne du livre de demain? Dans quelle type d’industrie sera-t-elle prise? Les alternatives sont assurément politiques et tournées vers les communs. Loin des normes et des solutions toutes faites, cet ouvrage collectif dévoile des enjeux qui obligent à de sérieuses réflexions collectives.

Summary:
For many, the idea of Space Architecture as a discipline lies in the domain of science fiction, where everything is possible simply because it happens "very far in the future". Is Space Architecture a fiction or reality? This book explores if and how architectural principles and strategies need to be transformed when applied to the extreme conditions of outer space. It presents concepts developed by great minds in the fields of space exploration and science-fiction, ones which can inspire new ways into the future. The book also presents the philosophy of Space Architecture, arguing for example that the design of space habitats needs to be human-centred while defining ways for humans to co-exist in new environments. These views are complemented by examples of architectures from current and planned space missions, organised by private companies as well as government agencies.
