Summary:
Looking at recent social struggles including the university strikes in Europe, the Spanish ¡Democracia real YA! organization, the Arab revolts, and the Occupy movement, Raunig argues for a reassessment of the importance of cultural and knowledge production. The central role of the university, he asserts, is not as a factory of knowledge but as a place of creative disobedience. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze's concept of "modulation" as the market-driven imperative for the constant transformation and reinvention of subjectivity, in Factories of Knowledge, Industries of Creativity, Raunig charts alternative horizons for resistance.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage propose un examen des pratiques relatives aux projets architecturaux et urbains. Face aux mutations et aux défis actuels, comment les architectes, urbanistes et concepteurs peuvent-ils préserver leur mission, leur place, leur légitimité et leur pouvoir ? En développant les savoirs et savoir-faire pertinents et efficients pour réussir l’articulation entre la demande sociale et l’espace architectural et urbain. À cette fin ils sont requis de développer une culture de projet qui soit une culture de la transformation et non de l’opérationnalisation, une culture de l’invention et non de l’application. L’urbanité est en jeu.

Summary:
Dans cet ouvrage, Bruno Munari détruit le mythe de l’artiste vedette et lui substitue le personnage du designer. Ce recueil de textes brefs, accompagnés de croquis et d’illustrations, présente les diverses spécialisations du design : design visuel, design industriel, design graphique et design de recherche. Avec sa plume caustique, l’auteur se livre à des critiques impitoyables de la création de son époque, trop statique et trop complexe. Il appelle de ses vœux des formes en mouvement, en transformation et prône la simplicité et l’équilibre, se réclamant ainsi de l’esthétique asiatique.

Summary:
This original collection examines how architectural ideas, social models and building forms circulate round the world and become mediated and adapted to local conditions. The book shows how types such as skyscrapers, mosques or living history museums are imported, adapted and contested in different societies and how urban landscapes are reshaped by the global circulation of models drawn from elsewhere. Written by scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds –architecture, anthropology, geography, linguistics, science studies and sociology – the book draws its inspiration from a series of different approaches and offers both original theoretical reflection and carefully crafted case-studies.
