Summary:
L’orthodoxie économiste s’obstine à imposer le modèle d’un individu décideur rationnel, qui maximise ses revenus à force de calculs régis par le souci de son intérêt bien entendu. Opérant un changement d’échelle radical, « L’économie contre elle-même » soutient plutôt que le néolibéralisme se fonde aux niveaux infra- et trans-individuel, sur une interaction complexe entre(...)

Summary:
L’orthodoxie économiste s’obstine à imposer le modèle d’un individu décideur rationnel, qui maximise ses revenus à force de calculs régis par le souci de son intérêt bien entendu. Opérant un changement d’échelle radical, « L’économie contre elle-même » soutient plutôt que le néolibéralisme se fonde aux niveaux infra- et trans-individuel, sur une interaction complexe entre rationnel et affectif. Brian Massumi insiste en effet sur la manière dont, en deçà du niveau individuel, les tendances et contre-tendances affectives d’un individu résonnent avec celles des autres pour amorcer et orienter l’action. Cette plongée vers l’infra-économie des affects entraîne une recomposition conceptuelle de toutes les dynamiques sociales : là se dessinent les mouvements des corps sensibles et se constitue la volonté, mais surtout, là se crée l’action de transformation sociale. Empruntant à Hume, Foucault, Deleuze, Spinoza et Luhmann, L’économie contre elle-même a l’ambition de déployer une nouvelle théorie de l’économie politique.

Summary:

Est appelé conception non formelle l'ensemble des procédures d'improvisation, de bricolage et de détournement qui permettent aujourd'hui aux concepteurs de s'écarter de la planification et de la modélisation, pour atteindre une architecture du moment et de l'occasion. L'une des thèses sous-jacentes de ces textes consiste à assumer l'analogie fondamentale qui lie l'acte d'apprendre et celui de concevoir. Dans cette vision, tout praticien réflexif serait un apprenant permanent et, inversement, toute situation d'apprentissage reposerait sur le développement constant d'une pratique réflexive. Ici, la pensée critique est opératoire et l'observation du monde une action de transformation. Plusieurs expériences sont décrites et tentent de déplacer les lignes de cette séparation fatale qui oppose trop souvent savoir théorique et raison pratique, conception et réalisation, ou encore, recherche et enseignement dans le domaine de la conception architecturale.

Summary:
Digesting Recipes: The Art of Culinary Notation scrutinises the form of the recipe, using it as a means to explore a multitude of subjects in post-war Western art and culture, including industrial mass-production, consumerism, hidden labour, and art engaged with the everyday. Each chapter is presented as a dish in a nine-course meal, drawing on examples from published cookbooks and the work of artists such as Alison Knowles, Yoko Ono, Annette Messager, Martha Rosler, Barbara T. Smith, Bobby Baker and Mika Rottenberg. A recipe is an instruction, the imperative tone of the expert, but this constraint can offer its own kind of potential. A recipe need not be a domestic trap but might instead offer escape – something to fantasise about or aspire to. It can hold a promise of transformation both actual and metaphorical. It can be a proposal for action, or envision a possible future.

Summary:
Founded by Swiss settlers in 1845, New Glarus in Wisconsin evolved from being a dairy farming and cheese production village to a popular tourist destination. Following a grave economic downturn in the 1960s and 1970s, the community discovered embracing the image of its cultural heritage, particularly traditional architectural details, as a way of survival. Consequently, they began to change their commercial building façades to appear even more Swiss. Since 1999, the town has even regulated the production of new buildings via its building codes to preserve this particular aesthetic evoking the familiar traditional Swiss chalet style. This volume investigates the transformation of European immigrant towns in the United States, exemplified by New Glarus. It features the results of extensive fieldwork on buildings in the village as well as design projections based on the local building code and evaluates the outcomes through different representation techniques.

Summary:
This publication presents a comprehensive survey of the artist’s oeuvre and an overview of her exhibitions of the past three decades. The luxuriant equatorial forests and voluptuous vegetation of Brazil and the cultural implications of plant genera and flowers are integral to the imagery of Luzia Simons’s art. In watercolors, paintings, photographs, and tapestries, the artist probes the impenetrable role that nature plays, employing pictorial techniques of her own devising to create poetic studies of forms and colors. Simons is a pioneer in the development of the scanogram—a media technique that combines elements of painting and photography. Arranging blossoms and leaves of a wide range of tulip cultivars on a high-resolution scanner, she produces imposing works that boast intense and brilliant colors and stupendous definition. Just as nature and culture are in constant transformation, identities never remain fixed: that is what Simons’s work illustrates to stunning effect.

From the first humanitarian aid to construction of a gymnasium, this persistent process is outlined in short articles and essays in the second part of this illustrated volume. The documentation demonstrates how transformation was achieved step by step with the help of many, laying the groundwork for ongoing progress. Less crime, better education, and a fairer society – much has been accomplished and even more is possible for the future. A story by author Paulo Lins (“City of God”) tells the stirring tale of the establishment of the Brazilian favela Mãe Luíza. Fleeing drought and deadly heat, the people there fought for a piece of land to call their own, hoping for a better life. Thanks to their optimism and solidarity, their vision gradually took shape.

Summary:
In Power from the North, Caroline Desbiens explores how this culture of hydroelectricity helped shape the material landscape during the first phase of the James Bay hydroelectric project. She analyzes the cultural forces that contributed to the transformation of the La Grande River into a hydroelectric complex. Policy makers and Quebecers did not, she argues, view those who built the dams as mere workers -- they saw them as pioneers in a previously uninhabited landscape now inscribed with the codes of culture and spectacle. This book reveals that drawing power from the North involves not only the cultural erasure of Aboriginal homelands but also rewriting the region’s history in the language of identity and territoriality. To reverse this trend, Desbiens calls for a truly sustainable resource management, one in which all actors bring an awareness of their own cultural histories and visions of nature, North, and nation to the negotiating table.
