Summary:
Depuis sa publication il y a bientôt 10 ans, La domination policière a trouvé un écho au moment des grandes séquences de luttes et des épisodes de répression. Ce livre est devenu un outil de réflexion théorique et politique sur un sujet désormais installé dans le débat public : les violences policières. Il s’agissait de le mettre à jour. Dans cette édition augmentée, Mathieu Rigouste a intégré les apports de travaux critiques en sciences sociales publiés durant la décennie 2010. Il les a articulés avec les enquêtes qu’il a pu réaliser au cours des dernières années. Rigouste tient à « traiter ces matériaux à partir de réflexions collectives développées au sein des luttes sociales. » Il a ainsi proposé à plusieurs comités « Vérité et Justice » et collectifs antirépression de recueillir leurs commentaires. Il a également agrémenté son texte original de témoignages de proches et des familles des personnes tuées par la police. Deux nouveaux chapitres qui viennent consolider cette édition : un chapitre inédit aborde les généalogies raciales, sexuelles et capitalistes de la police moderne et les articule à la structuration de la plantation esclavagiste, à la « chasse aux sorcières » et à la naissance de la grande ville bourgeoise en Europe. Un autre chapitre inédit vient clore le livre : il s’agit de proposer une synthèse sur la transformation du pouvoir policier pendant la séquence 2013-2020 mais aussi de nouvelles propositions de luttes. À l’heure où les questions de transformation et d’abolition de la police et de la prison traversent l’Atlantique, La domination policière reste le meilleur livre pour nourrir les réflexions et les mobilisations, individuelles et collectives, dans l’espace francophone.

Summary:
Over the last decade, Adam Lampton has photographed the former Portuguese colony of Macau (now a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China) and witnessed its transformation from a small enclave into an international gambling Mecca and leisure destination. As of 2007, Macau had surpassed Las Vegas in revenue to become the world’s most valuable gambling market. The colonial legacy, the communist experiment in capitalism, and the Chinese traditions continually collide and remake Macau through the filter of each other’s histories.This complexity is reflected in the large-format photos, which oscillate between past and present, expression and observation. In addition to exhibiting internationally, Lampton’s work has been featured in Art in America, The Boston Globe, and Camera Austria.

Summary:
The notion of impermanence underlies, to a significant extent, the urban design language of Hong Kong. The city intensely urban environment has long reflected embedded patterns of change and temporality in both its physical and cultural dimensions, a forever reconstructed city of dislocation, adaptation and imagination. These characteristics are intrinsically interwoven(...)

Summary:
The notion of impermanence underlies, to a significant extent, the urban design language of Hong Kong. The city intensely urban environment has long reflected embedded patterns of change and temporality in both its physical and cultural dimensions, a forever reconstructed city of dislocation, adaptation and imagination. These characteristics are intrinsically interwoven within Hong Kong s street and spatial patterns, producing a special sense of immediacy and transience insinuated with the fabric and memory of the city. This may stem on one hand from a philosophy of change inherent in cultural traditions, but on the other it reflects more tangible aspects of the streetscape accumulated from historical imprints, regimes of temporarily, and the constant renewal and transformation of the urban environment.

Summary:
The firm Christoph Hesse Architects addresses the challenges of rural areas by questioning and reinterpreting traditional structures of villages and landscapes in unconventional ways. Raised on a farm in the Hochsauerland region of Germany, Christoph Hesse brings his deep connection to nature and agricultural life to the projects, which are often developed in collaboration with local and international partners. Focusing on five central themes, "Rural rebellion" presents a selection of spatial interventions through striking models, large-scale panoramic drawings, films, portrait photos and statements by the "Rural rebels". The exhibition illustrates how the projects create social, environmental and economical focal points, enabling a future-oriented transformation – one that not only improves life in the countryside, but also redefines it as a source of innovation and societal progress.

Monogamy has played a central role in modernity, shaping our concepts of love, relationships, and family. In ''Monogamous Mind, Polyamorous Terror'', Spanish writer Brigitte Vasallo explores how mechanisms of love are deeply rooted in societal and individual norms, rather than being freely chosen.

Summary:
Monogamy has played a central role in modernity, shaping our concepts of love, relationships, and family. In ''Monogamous Mind, Polyamorous Terror'', Spanish writer Brigitte Vasallo explores how mechanisms of love are deeply rooted in societal and individual norms, rather than being freely chosen. Originally published in Spanish and now a global bestseller, this groundbreaking text reveals how the notions of state, nation, and identity – founded on codes of exclusivity, possession, and hierarchy – are intertwined with monogamy. Drawing on extensive historical research through the lens of social and affective organisation, Vasallo challenges one of the most entrenched pillars of Western society. She unveils the potential for a radical transformation in our relationships – whether erotic, familial, or communal – pointing towards a new, inclusive approach for a different world.

Summary:
In DOMa 10, AgwA share tools and strategies for reusing an office building, from structure to materials, and transforming it into the school complex "Karreveld". Langarita Navarro document the two lives, ephemeral and temporary, of their installation ‘Red Bull Music Academy – Nave de Música' in the Matadero warehouse. Atelierdacosta provide a detailed overview of the production of "Casa Crespo", questioning both their work and the discipline of architecture itself. Kwong Von Glinow reproduce the microcosm of "Ardmore House" as a transformation of the typical wooden frame house into a complex alternative in terms of space and programme. Co.Creation.Architects present their community work that precedes their built projects, called the co-creation process, focusing on the case of "Urban River Spaces".
