Summary:
Ever since the nineteen-nineties, curatorial discourse has revolved around the figure of the professional curator. Consequently, curatorial politics is usually considered the direct result of a curator's deliberate acts and intentions. Now, however, new institutional models and modes of exhibition practice together with key shifts in funding and collecting strategies have revealed aspects of curatorial politics over which the exhibition-maker has little or no control. The present volume presents a series of essays by noted art theorists and cultural scientists that go beyond the perspective of the individual curator to reveal these previously unexplored levels of curatorial politics.

Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire de l'évolution des techniques de construction appliquées aux ponts industriels. L'apparition du coke métallique en (1750) et du procédé de puddlage de l'acier en 1754 ont ouvert la voie à une nouvelle ère dans la construction des ponts, qui, de la pierre et du bois, sont passés au métal. 1856 est l'année de la mise au point de l'acier : grâce à ce matériau révolutionnaire apparaissent de nouvelles formes, simplifiées. L'arrivée du béton, du béton armé et du béton contraint ouvre des possibilités de réalisations jusque-là insoupçonnées, les ponts devenant d'admirables prouesses technologiques.
