Summary:
What does it take to build not only a house but a machine for amusement? "In Machine à Amuser", Wim van den Bergh chronicles the genesis of the famous penthouse of French-born Mexican millionaire bachelor Charles de Beistegui. The penthouse was planned and constructed by Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret and built on a rooftop site on the Champs-Élysées between 1929–1932. Retracing the evolution of this icon of modern architecture from the initial competition between Gabriel Guevrekian, André Lurc¸at, and Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret up to the executed version, van den Bergh tells the story of a client's ambition to build a house devoted to entertaining on one of the most well-heeled streets of Paris. "Machine à Amuser" also examines the cultural milieu of artists and patrons that surrounded Beistegui and which ultimately determined the apartment's conception and use, including its rococo and surrealist-inspired interior decor. Drawing on a panoply of archival material, van den Bergh narrates the tensions that arose between client and architects as each vied for creative control of the project. As the book shows, while Le Corbusier, with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret, remained the official architects of the penthouse, its famed interior was ultimately designed by the client, Charles de Beistegui.

Au milieu du siècle dernier, alors que l’image en mouvement s’est pleinement constituée comme forme culturelle et intellectuelle, la phénoménologie et l’esthétique du cinéma partagent le projet délicat d’une mise en suspens partielle du langage verbal.

Summary:
Au milieu du siècle dernier, alors que l’image en mouvement s’est pleinement constituée comme forme culturelle et intellectuelle, la phénoménologie et l’esthétique du cinéma partagent le projet délicat d’une mise en suspens partielle du langage verbal. L’union des actes de vision et de pensée anime alors simultanément les écrits de Maurice Merleau-Ponty et de Jean Epstein, autour desquels de nouvelles pistes de réflexion se sont ouvertes ces dernières années. Chez le philosophe, cette nouvelle constitution du savoir se manifeste par le retour à l’attitude corporelle. Pour le cinéaste, c’est la rencontre avec le regard de la machine cinématographique qui dévoile une terra incognita face à la connaissance rationnelle. Cet ouvrage propose une rencontre inédite entre deux pensées incontournables de l’image et une exploration des frontières plus que jamais complexes entre la philosophie et l’esthétique du cinéma.
