Summary:
Translated into English for the first time, ''On Contemporary Art,'' a speech by the renowned novelist César Aira, was delivered at a 2010 colloquium in Madrid dedicated to bridging the gap between writing and the visual arts. On Aira's path, everything comes under question - from reproducibility of artworks to the value of the written word itself. In the end, Aira leaves(...)

On Aira's path, everything comes under question - from reproducibility of artworks to the value of the written word itself. In the end, Aira leaves us stranded on the bridge between writing and art that he set out to construct in the first place. Like the great writers Walter Benjamin and Hermann Broch before him, Aira operates in the space between fiction and essay writing, art and analysis. Pursuing questions about reproducibility, art making, and limits of language, Aira's unique voice adds new insights to the essential conversations that continue to inform our understanding of art.

Summary:
In ''Building and dwelling,'' Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them. The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett's many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn't, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities' problems.

Summary:
In the first decades of the twentieth century, Marseille was a booming Mediterranean port. Positioned at the very edge of France, the city functioned as a critical fulcrum between the metropolitan center and its overseas empire. A notoriously dangerous and cosmopolitan city, Marseille became the focus of the extraordinary energies of some of the most remarkable architects and theorists of urban modernity. Drawing together architects, photographers, and cultural theorists, including Le Corbusier, Sigfried Giedion, Walter Benjamin, and László Moholy-Nagy, Mediterranean Crossroads examines how mythic ideas about Marseille helped to shape its urban landscape. Tracing successive planning proposals in tandem with shifting representations of the city in photographs, film, guidebooks, and postcards, Sheila Crane reconstructs the history and politics of architecture in Marseille from the 1920s through the years of rebuilding after World War II.

Summary:
Life in the digital economy of information and images enriches us but often induces a sense of being overwhelmed. ''Sensing the Future: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts'' considers the impact of technology by exploring ways it was addressed in the practice of the Hungarian polymath artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), a prominent professor at the Bauhaus and a key figure in the history of Modernism. Moholy-Nagy felt that people needed guidance to cope with the onslaught of sensory input in an increasingly technologized, mediatized, hyper-stimulating environment. His ideas informed media theorists such as Walter Benjamin, John Cage, Sigfried Giedion, and Marshall McLuhan, who anticipated digital culture as it emerged. Should we then regard Moholy-Nagy as a pioneer of the digital? His aesthetic engagement with the technology/body problematic broached the notions of immersion, interactivity and bodily participation, innately offering a critique of today’s disembodiment.

Lequel est mystérieusement assassiné à l'arme blanche, le 3 novembre 1939, dans une rue de Jaffa... De ce crime "originel" à l'explosion d'un autobus en 1996, Tamar Berger livre une passionnante enquête sur la naissance d'une jeune métropole, véritable généalogie urbaine d'un territoire ultrasensible : Tel-Aviv. Flânerie littéraire et historique hantée par Walter Benjamin et Charles Baudelaire, réflexion poétique et politique sur la ville, un document d'une richesse unique, entre histoire littéraire, archéologie familiale et saga immobilière, enquête cadastrale et analyse géopolitique.

C’est au XIXe siècle que les grandes synagogues parisiennes sont construites, qu’un patrimoine monumental se constitue. Mais les pierres ne sauraient, à elles seules, résumer la culture juive parisienne qui s’est tout autant forgée dans l’émancipation gagnée pendant la Révolution, dans les affrontements de l’affaire Dreyfus, dans l’épanouissement de la yiddichkeit de l’entre-deux-guerres, ou dans la tragédie de la Choa. Elle s’incarne également dans l’œuvre des mécènes et des philanthropes qui financèrent des fondations, des dispensaires, des logements à bon marché et firent de considérables donations aux grands musées parisiens. Elle s’illustre encore avec des écrivains majeurs, de Henri Heine à Walter Benjamin ou plane entre Montparnasse et Montmartre, en compagnie de Chagall, Soutine, Kisling, Modigliani… Ce guide présente ainsi le patrimoine, mais aussi les lieux de mémoire du judaïsme parisien.

Los Angeles is a city that has long thrived on the continual re-creation of its own myth. In this extraordinary work, Norman Klein examines the process of memory erasure in LA. Using a provocative mixture of fact and fiction, the book takes us on an "anti-tour" of downtown LA, examines life for Vietnamese immigrants in the City of Dreams, imagines Walter Benjamin as a Los Angeleno, and finally looks at the way information technology has recreated the city, turning cyberspace into the last suburb. In this new edition, Norman Klein explores the evolution of the Latino majority, how the Pacific economy is changing the structure of urban life, the impact of collapsing infrastructure in the city, and the restructuring of those very districts that had been "forgotten." Norman M. Klein is a critic and historian of mass culture, author of most recently, The Vatican to Vegas: The History of Special Effects. He teaches at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles.

Summary:
“Standstill” could be the name for the exact kind of experience that is the hiatus between social expectations and real possibilities of agency. Standstill may also be the name of an aesthetic strategy to instill a non-linear time of resistance and experience into the political protocol of progress. Finally, standstill can be the name for the temporal fissure in the midst of the subject, for the lapse between the subject of the enunciation and the subject of a statement, the limit that is the border between the inside and the outside. It can be the name for the mode of potentiality, for the moment of gesture, or, with Walter Benjamin, the medium of the dialectical image. The essays of this book transverse these dimensions of standstill as an in-between of time. The book includes essays by Georges Didi-Huberman, David Lapoujade, Peter Osborne, Jacques Rancière, Christine Ross, and others as well as conversations with Via Lewandowsky, Aernout Mik and Marcel Odenbach.

Summary:
If, as Walter Benjamin claimed, "it is the function of artistic form […] to make historical content into a philosophical truth” then it is the function of criticism to recover and to complete that truth. Contemporary art makes this work more difficult than ever. Today’s art is a point of condensation for a vast array of social and historical forces, economic and political forms, and technologies of image production. Contemporary art, Osborne maintains, expresses this condition through its distinctively postconceptual form. These essays—extending the scope and arguments of Osborne’s Anywhere or Not At All: Philosophy of Contemporary Art—move from a philosophical consideration of the changing temporal conditions of capitalist modernity, via problems of formalism, the politics of art and the changing shape of art institutions, to interpretation and analysis of particular works by Akram Zaatari, Xavier Le Roy and Ilya Kabakov, and the postconceptual situation of a crisis-ridden New Music.
