Summary:
In ''Of other spaces'' Foucault coined the term ''heterotopias'' to signify ''all the other real sites that can be found within the culture'' which ''are simultaneously represented, contested, and inverted.'' For Foucault, heterotopic spaces were first of all spaces of crisis, or transformative spaces, however these have given way to heterotopias of deviation and spaces(...)

Summary:
In ''Of other spaces'' Foucault coined the term ''heterotopias'' to signify ''all the other real sites that can be found within the culture'' which ''are simultaneously represented, contested, and inverted.'' For Foucault, heterotopic spaces were first of all spaces of crisis, or transformative spaces, however these have given way to heterotopias of deviation and spaces of discipline, such as psychiatric hospitals or prisons. Foucault's essay provokes us to think through how spaces of crisis and critique function to open up disruptive, subversive or minoritarian fields within philosophical, political, cultural or aesthetic discourses. This book takes this interdisciplinary and international approach to the spatial, challenging existing borders, boundaries, and horizons; from Claire Colebrook's chapter unpacking the heterotopic spaces of America and Mexico that lie beyond reductive ideological spaces of light and darkness, to a Foucauldian reading of the Zapatista resistance. With essays on politics, philosophy, literature, post-colonial studies, and aesthetics from established and emerging academics, this book answers Foucault's call to give us a better understanding of our present cultural epoch.

Summary:
After a hunting trip one fall, a family in the far reaches of so-called Canada’s north return to nothing but an empty space where their home once stood. Finding themselves suddenly homeless, they have no choice but to assimilate into settler-colonial society in a mining town that has encroached on their freedom.This intergenerational coming-of-age novel follows Ko`, a Dene man who grew up entirely on the land before being taken to residential school. When he finally returns home, he struggles to connect with his family: his younger brother whom he has never met, his mother because he has lost his language, and an absent father whose disappearance he is too afraid to question. The third book from acclaimed Dene, Cree and Metis writer Katlià, this is a fictional story based on true events, presenting a clear trajectory of how settlers dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of their land — and how Indigenous communities, with dignity and resilience, continue to live and honour their culture, values, inherent knowledge systems, and Indigenous rights towards re-establishing sovereignty.

Summary:
First observed in 1950s London, and theorised by leading thinkers such as Ruth Glass, Jane Jacobs and Sharon Zukin, the devastating process of displacement now can be found in every city and most neighbourhoods and impacts the most vulnerable communities. Leslie Kern proposes an intersectional way at looking at the crisis that seek to reveal the violence based on class, race, gender and sexuality. She argues that gentrification is not natural That it can not be understood in economics terms, or by class. That it is not a question of taste. That it can only be measured only by the physical displacement of certain people. Rather, she argues, it is an continuation of the setter colonial project that removed natives from their land. And it can be seen today is rising rents and evictions, transformed retail areas, increased policing and broken communities. Kern proposes a genuinely decolonial, feminist, queer, anti-gentrification. One that demands the right to the city for everyone and the return of land and reparations for those who have been displaced.

Summary:

''Fugitive Archives'' is not a book about African architecture or its history. It is a book about the role of primary research in the work of the fellows and about how, to centre Africa in histories of modern architecture, they had to develop new ways of finding, seeing, and listening. The sources presented here are starting points for dismantling and expanding existing architectural archives, in which what is considered valuable enough to archive remains dominated by colonial or Western knowledge frameworks. Through varied media and formats, the sources multiply narratives by highlighting diverse actors, practices, and geographies—on and off the continent—implicated in the history of modern African architecture. Rather than suggesting key, but inevitably reductive, themes, this book brings the fellows and their sources into dialogue in three sections that foreground similar methods and challenges to locating, accessing, reading, and constructing otherwise fugitive archives.

Figure intellectuelle de la lutte pour l'émancipation, il a montré que la situation délicate dans laquelle était plongé le peuple aïnou n'était due qu'aux contraintes de toutes sortes qui lui étaient imposées. Alors qu'il n'avait que 27 ans, il publie en 1934 le présent essai qui témoigne de la situation des Aïnous au sein de l'Empire japonais et des politiques assimilationnistes dont ils subissent les effets. Il appelle les siens à se ressaisir pour éviter la dépossession de leurs terres natales, la disparition de leur langue, de leur culture et de leurs droits. Il dénonce la discrimination à laquelle les Aïnous doivent faire face, inscrite dans les discours et les lois japonaises. Pour les lecteurs d'aujourd'hui, cet essai apparaît comme l'une des premières dénonciations écrites de l'état de fait colonial contre un peuple autochtone, rédigée et publiée par un Autochtone. Sous son ton rationnel et modéré, Nukishio Kizô livre ainsi un témoignage troublant, mais il lance aussi un appel à la survie et à la reconnaissance. Avec une présentation de Daniel Chartier, une introduction, une chronologie et des notes de Lucien-Laurent Clercq.

Summary:
What are the unique characteristics that make a house Colonial or Craftsman, Modern or Deco, or any of the other approximately 20 styles of domestic architecture common in the United States? At a time of near-obsessive attention to home design and renovation, this compact, easily accessible guide - the only book of its kind with all colour photography - makes the identification of house styles a breeze. Each style is described by author William Morgan, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated architectural historian, in a short historical summary, alongside a list of its distinguishing features. Multiple examples of each house style are provided - the book includes 350 houses from more than 40 states - so the reader can see the region-specific variations. Complementing the beautiful colour photographs is a selection of line drawings highlighting each style's key attributes. Both at the desk and in the field, for a wide audience of discerning house hunters, homeowners, and realtors; architects, builders, and students; and the ever-increasing public with a seemingly insatiable curiosity about residential design, this elegant, informative, portable volume will be an invaluable resource for years to come.

Summary:
As the world’s population swells and the need for sustainable ways of living grows ever more urgent and obvious, prefabricated architecture has taken center stage. Even before our current predicaments, the mass-produced, factory-made home had a distinguished history, having served as a vital precept in the development of Modern architecture. Today, with the digital revolution reorganizing the relationship between drafting board and factory, it continues to spur innovative manufacturing and design, and its potential has clearly not yet come to fruition. Home Delivery traces the history of prefabrication in architecture, from its early roots in colonial cottages though the work of such figures as Jean Prouvé and Buckminster Fuller, and mass-produced variants such as the Lustron house, to a group of full-scale contemporary houses commissioned specifically for the MoMA exhibition that this book accompanies. In addition to an introductory essay by Barry Bergdoll, Chief Curator in the Museum’s Department of Architecture and Design, this volume contains essays on prefabricated housing in Japan and in Nordic countries by Ken Tadashi Oshima and Rasmus Waern, respectively. It also includes focused texts on approximately 40 historical projects and five commissions, as well as a bibliography.

Summary:
À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l'Europe occidentale et les Amériques sont traversées par des mouvements de révolutions libérales et nationales. La Grande-Bretagne est alors un vaste empire colonial. Londres met en place des structures constitutionnelles et des pratiques politiques afin de maintenir sa domination. À la suite de la Révolution américaine, le régime impérial britannique est revu pour renforcer le rôle de l'exécutif dans l'administration des colonies. Julie Guyot illustre dans cet ouvrage l'état des rapports entre l'Angleterre et certaines nations satellites afin de pouvoir décrire les contours de l'impérialisme britannique et ainsi illustrer les enjeux démocratiques et nationalitaires. En prenant pour exemples l'Irlande et le Bas-Canada, l'auteure propose une analyse du discours public de Theobald Wolfe Tone et de Louis-Joseph Papineau, ces insoumis qui ont désiré changer le destin politique de leur «pays» respectif. Julie Guyot est professeure d'histoire au cégep Édouard-Montpetit et doctorante à l'École des études canado-irlandaises de l'Université Concordia. Ayant très tôt choisi l'histoire des idées comme approche pour étudier le parcours des peuples dépendants et les mouvements d'émancipation, les cas irlandais et bas-canadien (XVIIIe-XIXe siècles) allaient de soi.

Summary:
L'œuvre d'Oscar Niemeyer a ouvert de nouvelles perspectives à l'architecture moderne du XXe siècle. Niemeyer est connu avant tout pour ses grandes réalisations institutionnelles au Brésil et en Europe. Mais un autre aspect significatif de sa carrière reste pratiquement ignoré : ses projets de résidences privées. Ce livre nous les montre, comme autant de chefs-d'œuvre architecturaux méconnus. Souvent construites pour des membres de sa famille ou d'importants commanditaires (quand ce n'était pas pour lui-même), ces maisons offrent une richesse de solutions correspondant à une grande variété de sites : les pentes abruptes de Rio, les plaines de Brasilia, les plages de l'Atlantique, la forêt tropicale, les quartiers résidentiels de Rio et de São Paulo... Certaines sont de conception audacieuse, comme celle que Niemeyer a construite pour lui-même en 1953, avec son toit de béton de forme libre et ses murs de verre en arrondi. D'autres révèlent le goût de Niemeyer pour le style colonial et l'architecture traditionnelle hérités de l'occupation portugaise au Brésil. Mais la vision unificatrice de Niemeyer domine toutes ces variations, attestée par une vie de recherches et d'innovations à travers tous ses projets de maisons - construites ou non.

Certaines sont de conception audacieuse, comme celle que Niemeyer a construite pour lui-même en 1953, avec son toit de béton de forme libre et ses murs de verre en arrondi. D'autres révèlent le goût de Niemeyer pour le style colonial et l'architecture traditionnelle hérités de l'occupation portugaise au Brésil. Mais la vision unificatrice de Niemeyer domine toutes ces variations, attestée par une vie de recherches et d'innovations à travers tous ses projets de maisons - construites ou non.
