Summary:
Mindfulness is now all the rage. From celebrity endorsements to monks, neuroscientists and meditation coaches rubbing shoulders with CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, it is clear that mindfulness has gone mainstream. Some have even called it a revolution. But what if, instead of changing the world, mindfulness has become a banal form of capitalist spirituality that mindlessly avoids social and political transformation, reinforcing the neoliberal status quo? In ''McMindfulness,'' Ronald Purser debunks the so-called 'mindfulness revolution,' exposing how corporations, schools, governments and the military have co-opted it as technique for social control and self-pacification. Purser busts the myths its salesmen rely on, challenging the narrative that stress is self-imposed and mindfulness is the cure-all.

Summary:
Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), architecte du roi. Créateur inspiré du siècle des Lumières, bâtisseur visionnaire, utopiste et écrivain d'inspiration maçonnique, l'architecte Claude Nicolas Ledoux exerça d'abord son art avec succès comme ingénieur et dans le domaine privé sous le règne de Louis XV. Protégé de Mme du Barry, il édifia - outre de nombreux hôtels particuliers - le pavillon de Louveciennes, le château de Bénouville, celui de Maupertuis et réalisa la décoration du Café militaire. Puis, architecte du roi, il construisit sous Louis XVI la saline d'Arc-et-Senans commandée par Louis XV avant sa mort et les barrières de Paris ; en province, avec la construction du théâtre de Besançon, il fit progresser la réforme des lieux de spectacle. Tombé en disgrâce à la Révolution, il fut incarcéré à la Force en 1793. Empêché d'exercer, il commence la rédaction de "L'architecture considérée sous le rapport de l'art, des mœurs et de La législation". Ce texte, superbement illustré de projets grandioses qui rendent compte de la surprenante modernité de sa vision, offre à la postérité toute l'étendue de la puissance créatrice de Ledoux et une solide réflexion sur l'implication sociale et politique de l'architecture. Lors des réformes urbanistiques de Paris au XIXe siècle, ses constructions furent pour les trois quarts détruites. En s'appuyant sur ce qu'il reste encore actuellement de ses édifices, sur les estampes de ses projets et réalisations ainsi que sur ses écrits, qui témoignent de ses aspirations, cet ouvrage propose de retracer le parcours de Ledoux à travers une étude approfondie de son œuvre. Cette étude s'accompagne de celle, indissociable, du contexte historique particulièrement mouvementé dans lequel Ledoux vécut et s'articule autour d'une analyse sensible de la question du progrès des arts.
