Summary:
Conventional representations reinforce its reading as an urban condition resulting from neoliberal capitalism. These forces have expanded the city grid and extruded its architectures as a laboratory of urban ideas. Yet, like many other coastal and insular conditions, twenty-first century Manhattan faces adverse Anthropogenic climate change. Stronger storm surges and sea level rise now demand that the island recalibrates its social and environmental positions. The city needs to consider once again its fluid archipelagic conditions inherited from glacial dynamics. With a focus on iconic city representations, the book examines distinct logics that try to make capitalist progress compatible with its territorial conditions. Even though these logics of land, water and ground – here called geologics – are perhaps less dominant than the dense urban culture and, therefore, less predominant in the representation of the city, they are still important to explain why Manhattan evolved to its current condition.

Summary:
Dans l'Antiquité, la sphère est la représentation de la perfection de ce qui n'a ni commencement, ni fin, échappe à la corruption du temps, symbolise le divin qui s'offre à la contemplation.

Summary:
Dans l'Antiquité, la sphère est la représentation de la perfection de ce qui n'a ni commencement, ni fin, échappe à la corruption du temps, symbolise le divin qui s'offre à la contemplation. Depuis les Grecs, la totalisation du monde s'opère sous la forme d'un globe, à la fois vision cosmogonique, projection géométrique et spéculation philosophique, mais aussi représentation physique de la souveraineté et attribut des empereurs, monarques ou papes. Quand s'ouvre le monde, quand la circonférence ne le contient plus et que les hiérarchies sont bouleversées, que devient cette représentation dont nous sommes malgré tout les héritiers ? Suffit-il de la déclarer obsolète pour en être affranchi ? Avec son brio habituel de conteur, Peter Sloterdijk nous entraîne dans un voyage passionnant à travers les civilisations et les époques, au gré de la position qu'y occupe le centre de la sphère
