Summary:
Du Plan Nord à Énergie-Est, en passant par la construction d’un méga-barrage hydroélectrique ou de vastes projets de condos à flanc de montagne, le concept d’acceptabilité sociale est au coeur des débats sociaux et politiques entourant tous les projets de développement d’envergure depuis une dizaine d’années. Si tout le monde en parle, la définition du concept ne fait pas l’unanimité. Pour les uns, l’acceptabilité sociale émane d’un jargon de décideurs et de technocrates qui ne savent plus quoi inventer pour envelopper de flou ce qui est imposé à la population. Pour les autres, c’est un concept fourre-tout qui ouvre la porte à tout et son contraire. Dans le discours public, toutefois, tout se passe comme si l’utilisation de l’acceptabilité sociale répondait au principe de base de la novlangue de Gorge Orwell dans son roman 1984: elle évacue les nuances et tend à réduire les éléments du débat à des dichotomies qui renforcent le pouvoir des élites en place, du type « vous êtes pour ou vous êtes contre ». Le concept d’acceptabilité sociale n’est inscrit dans aucune loi, ni québécoise ni canadienne, ce qui complique encore plus les choses. Avec rigueur et une bonne dose d’humour, Marie-Ève Maillé et Pierre Battelier nous invitent à un exercice de déconstruction des 10 dichotomies présentes dans le discours entourant l’acceptabilité sociale: 1) les promoteurs et les opposants; 2) les « pour » et les « contre »; 3) les faits des experts et l’opinion des citoyens; 4) la rigueur et les émotions; 5) la pertinence de la majorité et la futilité de la minorité; 6) le conflit et la paix sociale; 7) Des hommes et d’autres hommes; 8) ce qui se compte et ce qui compte; 9) les gens concernés et les opportunistes; 10) l’égoïste et le bon citoyen. Tous les chapitres commencent par une introduction exagérément cynique où un certain discours dominant est caricaturé, parfois malicieusement et toujours avec beaucoup d’humour.

Summary:
"The Portfolio and the Diagram" is about the changing ways architects see, read, and use the words and images of architectural publications. It begins with an outline of the academic discipline and the mimetic practice of the portfolio, established in America during the late nineteenth century. World War I triggered a historical process that resulted in the demise of the portfolio and the emergence of the discourse of the diagram. The Beaux Arts-trained architects had fashioned their discipline through the meticulous object-centered images of the portfolio. The discourse of the diagram provided a new range of possibility in the architect’s relation to words, images, and buildings. More than the diagram itself, more than the province of narrow-minded functionalists, the discourse of the diagram is a complex formation of texts, concepts, and modes of representation. Concerned less with constructing a new kind of modernism than with understanding the boundaries and structures of modernity, the book is a history of modern architecture as a discursive practice and its striving to become a viable discipline.
