Summary:
La façon de concevoir l’espace et les déplacements ne se révèle pas uniquement en scrutant des plans et des cartes : cela exige de saisir l’imaginaire sous-jacent, la représentation de ce qu’est et devrait être la ville, la banlieue ou la campagne, les identités spatiales et l’appropriation de l’espace, dans leur dimension de mémoire et de projet.

Summary:
La façon de concevoir l’espace et les déplacements ne se révèle pas uniquement en scrutant des plans et des cartes : cela exige de saisir l’imaginaire sous-jacent, la représentation de ce qu’est et devrait être la ville, la banlieue ou la campagne, les identités spatiales et l’appropriation de l’espace, dans leur dimension de mémoire et de projet. Les œuvres de création et en particulier le cinéma de fiction présentent un imaginaire, une vision de l’espace habité et habitable. L’imaginaire de l’espace dans le cinéma québécois est ici exploré dans un itinéraire partant des espaces habités (la ville, la banlieue et la campagne), pour aboutir aux espaces identitaires en passant par les espaces de déplacement et de circulation, la place publique et l’espace public.

Summary:
Les punks des années 70 ont désormais fait place aux cyberpunks. Eux aussi proclament un "No Future" mais inversé : "Nous avons déjà demain, c'est aujourd'hui que nous voulons." Loin de n'être qu'un sous-genre de la science-fiction, le Cyberpunk est un véritable phénomène culturel. Il essaime dans tous les modes d'expression, de la musique à la bande dessinée en passant(...)

Summary:
Les punks des années 70 ont désormais fait place aux cyberpunks. Eux aussi proclament un "No Future" mais inversé : "Nous avons déjà demain, c'est aujourd'hui que nous voulons." Loin de n'être qu'un sous-genre de la science-fiction, le Cyberpunk est un véritable phénomène culturel. Il essaime dans tous les modes d'expression, de la musique à la bande dessinée en passant par le jeu vidéo ou mieux encore le cinéma, où il excelle. Dans cet univers, "le dingue d'informatique et le rocker se rejoignent". Mark Downham cartographie cette nébuleuse en effervescence. Il en dessine l'esthétique et dissèque la genèse du phénomène, en le rapportant à la critique du spectacle de Debord, ici étendue à l'emprise de la technologie sur la vie quotidienne.

Summary:
Berlin est une ville entrée en apesanteur. Elle n'est plus aujourd'hui que le pôle sentimental d'un pèlerinage culturel alimenté par un folklore de la révolte et de la création. Jadis au cœur même de la guerre civile européenne qui a traversé la première partie du XXe siècle et qui y a laissé ses plus profondes blessures, Berlin est devenue l'avant-poste d'une(...)

Summary:
Berlin est une ville entrée en apesanteur. Elle n'est plus aujourd'hui que le pôle sentimental d'un pèlerinage culturel alimenté par un folklore de la révolte et de la création. Jadis au cœur même de la guerre civile européenne qui a traversé la première partie du XXe siècle et qui y a laissé ses plus profondes blessures, Berlin est devenue l'avant-poste d'une capitulation généralisée à la fiction de l'individu autonome comme "forme abstraite toute prête", structure qui pourrait endosser tous les contenus. Francesco Masci s'est embarqué sur cette "île", non pas pour explorer les mœurs et usages d’une nouvelle urbanité, mais pour entamer le deuil des promesses de liberté et d'émancipation de la tyrannie sociale faite à l'individu par la culture absolue.

Summary:
Driving the Human is a catalyst for experimentation, shaping sustainable and collective futures that combine science, technology, and the arts in a transdisciplinary and collaborative approach. This publication documents all milestones of the three-year project, contextualizing and expanding its discourse through expert voices and emerging creative visions. At its heart are seven prototypes for eco-social renewal, each proposing new ways to engage with one another and with what surrounds us, at the surface of the planet and beyond. They explore ways in which AI could mitigate climate change; immerse us in new forms of community through ancestral agricultural knowledge; employ fiction as a tool for new modes of multispecies conviviality; or create embodied connections to understand human impact in endangered territories.

D'Homère à Marguerite Duras, de Virgile à Marcel Proust, de Gustave Flaubert à Amélie Nothomb, de Mme de Sévigné à Renaud Camus, ils sont omniprésents dans la littérature, toutes époques et genres confondus. Imaginaires pour les uns (la Génèse, Esope, La Fontaine), objets de traités savants pour d'autres (Walopole), mais aussi lieux affectifs (Chateaubriand, George Sand, Colette), moyens d'expression et de pouvoir (Louis XIV), de connaissance (Jardin des Plantes), de loisir (parc des Buttes-Chaumont), ils suscitent l'engouement et parfois la passion. Structurés ou fous, ils ont tous un même goût de liberté qui nous accroche plus ou moins consciemment à notre enfance, et à celle de l'humanité...

Summary:
In our image-saturated contemporary society, sight often eclipses other senses that are vital to understanding the unseen dynamics of our sensory relationship with environments. As a counter-project to the hegemony of images, the act of listening opens up new possibilities for exploring both built and natural environments and moving our attention to granting a voice to more-than-human agencies. "Ecotones" showcases investigations on the relevance of sound in territorial studies. It is developed as a curated collection of texts from various disciplines and practitioners exploring spaces, territories, and ecologies through sonic endeavors. With a variety of formats, from essays and fiction pieces to situated case studies, Ecotones narrates sound as a medium, the act of listening as a political tool, and sonic experiments.

Summary:
Geoffrey James spent months tracking the Prairie light while photographing the city of Lethbridge and its environs. Those images reveal something of a place, a sensibility and a harsh light that together probe to the core of the Canadian experience. The images formed the basis of an exhibition, The Lethbridge Project, at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. Now, they have been married with the words of Rudy Wiebe to present a vision of the very soul of Canada, and of that Prairie experience which has so informed recent Canadian fiction. Rudy Wiebe offers an accompanying set of brief stories that draw on many layers of history as well as his personal memories to evoke the sense of place that is Lethbridge.

Summary:
The changing nature of African landscapes, from rural to urbanized spaces, has been a pre-occupation of African media producers since the beginnings of the African film industry in the 1960s. The authors bring together several examples of African documentary and fiction screen media that present, evaluate and criticize urban and rural landscapes, and the rural and urban dynamic of development, in relation to contemporary issues, from biodiversity, sustainability and deforestation, to inequity, women’s rights, political instability, to climate change-related themes of water and food supply, security and sovereignty. These works, comprising multi-platform cinema, streamed moving images and especially documentaries, depict the situations and open the door to rethinking and eventually to the possibilities of proposals responding to the situations portrayed.

Summary:
Jonas Delaborde is a french artist (Paris, 1981) working regularly in Paris and Lyon with his fellow Hendrik Hegray (they edit the nasty & absurd Nazi Knife zine together), Kerozen and Mehdi Hercberg (Shoboshobo) or with the drawing collective Frederic Magazine. Zodiac Grind is a collection of twenty empty geometric shapes, some science fiction landscape drawings and few pictures of destructed buildings or antic carved stones. It can be seen as an attempt to build a dust bridge between some minimalist influences and a symbolist vision. Or just a bad psychedelic mix of bolivian mountains, parking maps and wallpaper's patterns. His drawings have been showed recently in two collective exhibitions with Frederic Magazine at the Nog Gallery (London) and the Musée des Tapisseries (Aix-en-Provence).

Summary:
W.G. Sebaldís books are sui generis hybrids of fiction, travelogue, autobiography and historical expose, in which a narrator (both Sebald and not Sebald) comments on the quick blossoming of natural wonders and the long deaths that come of human atrocities. All his narratives are punctuated with images--murky photographs, architectural plans, engravings, paintings, newspaper clippings--inserted into the prose without captions and often without obvious connection to the words that surround them. This important volume includes a rare 1993 interview called ì'But the written word is not a true document': A Conversation with W.G. Sebald about Photography and Literature,î in which Sebald talks exclusively about his use of photographs. It contains some of Sebald's most illuminating and poetic remarks about the topic yet.
