Summary:
Amber waves of grain, purple mountain majesties: American invest much of their national identity in sites of natural beauty. And yet American lands today are torn by conflicts over science, religion, identity, and politics. Creationists believe that the Biblical flood carved landscapes less than 10,000 years ago; environmentalists protest pipelines; Western states argue that the federal government’s land policies throttle free enterprise; Native Americans demand protection for sacred sites. In this book, David Nye looks at Americans’ irreconcilably conflicting ideas about nature. A landscape is conflicted when different groups have different uses for the same location—for example, when some want to open mining sites that others want to preserve or when suburban development impinges on agriculture. Some landscapes are so degraded from careless use that they become toxic “anti-landscapes.” Nye traces these conflicts to clashing conceptions of nature—ranging from pastoral to Native American to military–industrial—that cannot be averaged into a compromise. Nye argues that today’s environmental crisis is rooted in these conflicting ideas about land.

In the late 1960s the world was faced with impending disaster: the height of the Cold War, the end of oil and the decline of great cities throughout the world. Out of this crisis came a new generation that hoped to build a better future, influenced by visions of geodesic domes, walking cities and a meaningful connection with nature.

Summary:
In the late 1960s the world was faced with impending disaster: the height of the Cold War, the end of oil and the decline of great cities throughout the world. Out of this crisis came a new generation that hoped to build a better future, influenced by visions of geodesic domes, walking cities and a meaningful connection with nature. In this brilliant work of cultural history, architect Douglas Murphy traces the lost archeology of the present day through the works of thinkers and designers such as Buckminster Fuller, the ecological pioneer Stewart Brand, the Archigram architects who envisioned the Plug-In City in the ’60s, as well as co-operatives in Vienna, communes in the Californian desert and protesters on the streets of Paris. In this mind-bending account of the last avant-garde, we see not just the source of our current problems but also some powerful alternative futures.

Avez-vous déjà pensé à la culture comme un levier pour transformer un quartier, pour renforcer les liens entre ses habitants et leur environnement? Imaginez un espace où les organismes culturels, communautaires, administratifs et politiques, mais aussi les artistes et les citoyens travaillent ensemble pour faire face aux défis du quotidien. Comment le développement culturel peut-il devenir le moteur d’une véritable revitalisation sociale et territoriale? Nous trouvons la réponse en examinant le cas de Saint-Michel, un quartier de Montréal. Depuis plus de 20 ans, il a réussi à transformer ses milieux de vie en mobilisant les acteurs locaux autour de pratiques culturelles inclusives et créatives. Ce livre présente, entre autres, l’influence d’acteurs proactifs, tels le Cirque du Soleil et la Tohu, et une analyse de l’écosystème culturel du quartier et des dynamiques de concertation locale.
