Summary:
Être conçue pour ne pas être : tel est le destin de l’utopie. Cette impossibilité à exister dans l’espace réel, est le critère de qualification de l’utopie dans l’espace imaginaire. Par définition, une utopie n’a donc pas de lieu sur terre, et ce qui y a trouvé une place durable n’a pas la qualité d’utopie. Le projet dont l’histoire est racontée dans ce livre, celui du Fresnoy-Studio national des arts contemporains, s’est réalisé grâce au caractère utopique dont il s’était fait un impératif : paradoxe ? exception à la règle ? En tout cas, il ne fait aucun doute que toute inflexion du projet pour le rendre réalisable, l’aurait condamné à n’être jamais réalisé. Cela pose la question du moment, de la circonstance historique, où le politique, face auquel l’utopie se détermine en s’y opposant, a adopté comme critère de ses choix, et comme règle de son action, non plus l’économie mais l’esthétique. Ephémère moment d’une esthétique du politique. Écrit à la première personne, ce récit d’une grande réalisation publique s’appuie souvent sur des anecdotes et sur les relations entre individus singuliers, chères à la micro-histoire. Outre la genèse du Fresnoy-Studio national sur dix ans, entre 1987 et 1997, est ici brossé par touches un tableau des orientations nouvelles en matière de pédagogie de l’art et de formation des jeunes artistes (en France, en Europe et ailleurs), en fonction de la révolution des techniques, des langages artistiques, des moyens d’expression et de communication, à la fin du XXe siècle.

Summary:
The past twenty years have seen profound changes in the field of graphic communication. As the computer has become a ubiquitous tool, there has been an explosion of creativity in graphic design; designers and typographers have jettisoned existing rules and forged experimental new approaches. "No more rules" is a critical survey offering an overview of the graphic revolution during the postmodern period. A presentation into key developments and themes : the origins of postmodern design; deconstructionist design and theory; issues of appropriation; the revolution in digital type; questions of authorship; and critiques of postmodern graphic design. Each theme is illustrated by examples of work produced between 1980 and 2000.

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.
