Summary:
Les villes du monde sont confrontées à une tension persistante entre l'attrait de la mondialisation et les besoins des citoyen.ne.s. Les partis politiques conventionnels présentent des solutions banales qui répondent aux intérêts des entreprises. Parallèlement, les citoyen.ne.s, dans les cafés, les salles de réunion, dans la rue et maintenant dans les forums virtuels, relèvent le défi d'imaginer une politique municipale nouvelle et radicale à partir de la base. Ce livre explore l'avenir des mouvements citoyen.ne.s de Montréal à un moment défini par les menaces de pandémie, d'austérité, de spéculation et d'insécurité du logement, et de racisme. Il associe une analyse contemporaine à une exploration de la riche histoire municipale de Montréal. Les éditeurs de ''Un guide du citoyen-ne'' ont réuni plus d'une vingtaine de militant.e.s, d'urbanistes et de penseur.euse.s pour aborder les principaux problèmes auxquels les Montréalais.e.s sont confrontés et proposer des alternatives dans une perspective citoyenne. Les mouvements municipaux de partout verront leurs propres luttes reflétées dans ce guide et y trouveront une inspiration pour le débat et l'action.

Summary:
Les architectures légères contemporaines explorent la modularité, la construction participative ou la miniaturisation. Elles se fondent sur la conviction que construire, en conscience, plus léger réclame moins de matière, utilise moins de ressource, produit moins de déchets, demande moins de temps de montage, nécessite moins d’espace, requiert de façon exponentielle moins d’énergie, réduit symétriquement l’empreinte carbone de la construction d’un habitat. Cette étude menée sur une trentaine de projets internationaux révèle le potentiel et la diversité des systèmes constructifs développés. Elle témoigne de la capacité de ces architectures à s’adapter aux techniques et attentes de leur temps. Chaque exploration relue dans son contexte historique à partir d’archives reflète une démarche, une technique et un mode d’habiter. Redessiné et décomposé selon un protocole développé pour cette manifestation par l’agence Philippe Rizzotti Architecte et le laboratoire IBI de l’ETH Zürich, le corpus dévoile des correspondances, des qualités partagées. Cet inventaire permet de quantifier les constructions, comparer les matériaux, analyser les assemblages et classer tout ou partie pour faire émerger des logiques adaptables demain.

Summary:
For Richard Tuttle, the object, as well as the work, is intended for communication. Where others find in history answers to the questions objects pose, Tuttle instead finds the questions that drive his art—asking us to think about what objects mean, and how. This is the first publication to explore the influential American artist’s object collection and the cards on which he has recorded his thoughts about these items over the past five decades. Designed by the Belgian book artist Luc Derycke as a ''book as object,'' the volume carries forth the challenging question of the meaning of objects. It includes an interview with Tuttle, an analysis of objects in poetic nonfiction by Renee Gladman, and an essay about Tuttle’s art as the pursuit of a kind of philosophical exploration by Peter N. Miller, as well as poems by Tuttle and a short, surrealist tale about the artist’s objects. Tuttle’s objects and index cards are beautifully photographed throughout by Bruce M. White in this lavishly illustrated volume.

Summary:
Romanticism was a cultural and intellectual movement characterized by discovery, revolution, and the poetic as well as by the philosophical relationship between people and nature. Botany sits at the intersection where romantic scientific and literary discourses meet. Clandestine Marriage explores the meaning and methods of how plants were represented and reproduced in scientific, literary, artistic, and material cultures of the period. Theresa M. Kelley synthesizes romantic debates about taxonomy and morphology, the contemporary interest in books and magazines devoted to plant study and images, and writings by such authors as Mary Wollstonecraft and Anna Letitia Barbauld. Period botanical paintings of flowers are reproduced in color, bringing her argument and the romantics' passion for plants to life. In addition to exploring botanic thought and practice in the context of British romanticism, Kelley also looks to the German philosophical traditions of Kant, Hegel, and Goethe and to Charles Darwin's reflections on orchids and plant pollination. Her interdisciplinary approach allows a deeper understanding of a time when exploration of the natural world was a culture-wide enchantment.

Summary:
This book examines trends in the display of art since the mid-twentieth century, focusing particularly on institutional issues. The contributors present a series of case studies that illuminate the practices of museums, galleries, and exhibitions in Western Europe and the United States and that encourage reflection on the experience of the spectator. The first section of the book considers the traditional sanctum of art, the museum, and how approaches to display have changed as modern museums have sought to become accessible to new audiences. In the second section, case studies address issues surrounding temporary exhibitions, their dominance of the display of art today, and the implications of this for artists, spectators, and the institutions that stage such exhibitions. The third section considers the wider social context in which art is displayed today and discusses the widespread reliance on urban regeneration projects, with special reference to modern art museums, and the place of heritage in Britain, specifically the cult of the country house. The book concludes with an exploration of the art world in contemporary Ireland and the role of Irish institutions in the production and reception of art.

Summary:
The rising Dutch artist Erik van Lieshout, temporarily based in Los Angeles while he sets up for bicoastal American museum debuts at the Hammer in Los Angeles and at Mass MoCA, in North Adams, Massachusetts, works with video installation, painting and drawing to analyze our daily reality in currently confusing times. In a dizzying game of political correctness versus incorrectness, he provides razor-sharp comments on sociocultural truths, always seeming to wind up in unfamiliar, uncomfortable and confrontational situations. As he says: "My challenge is to lose control...Because it's only when you lose control that you have the feeling of freedom." On his way to that freedom, van Lieshout turns whomever he encounters into subject matter for social documentaries--his endless curiosity and his disarming personality encouraging strangers to share their intimate feelings and politics openly with him. In his work, van Lieshout translates this ferocious exploration of the behaviors of people he meets into aggressive, sometimes violent, sexual imagery. Born in 1968 in the Netherlands, van Lieshout's work was recently featured in the 2006 Berlin Bienniale and the 2003 Venice Biennale, among others.

Summary:
This book is a highly original exploration of what life could and should be. It juxtaposes a philosophical enquiry into the nature of the good life with an ethnography of people living in a small Irish town. Attending carefully to the everyday lives of these people, the ethnographic chapters examine topics ranging from freedom and inequality to the creation of community and the purpose of life. These chapters alternate with discussions of similar topics by a wide range of philosophers in the Western tradition, from Socrates and the Stoics through Kant, Hegel and Heidegger to Adorno, Rawls, MacIntyre and Nussbaum. As an ethnography, this is a book of praise that reveals just how much we can learn from a respectful acknowledgment of what ordinary modest people have achieved. By creating community as a deliberate and social project that provides the foundation for a more fulfilling life, where affluence has not led to an increase in individualism, the people in this town have found a way to live the good enough life. The book also shows how anthropology and philosophy can complement and enrich one another in an inquiry into what we might accomplish in our lives.
