Summary:
As a critic, stalwart nonconformist and champion of utopian architecture, Austrian architect Raimund Abraham (1933-2010) made one of the most significant contributions to contemporary architecture in 2002, with the construction of the Austrian Cultural Forum Building in New York. Following his tragic death in 2010, that year's Vienna Architecture Conference was held in his honor. This publication documents the keynote lecture, speeches and discussions held throughout the conference given by architects and artists such as Vito Acconci, Peter Cook, Kenneth Frampton, Peter Kubelka, Andrea Lenardin Madden, Thom Mayne, Jonas Mekas, Eric Owen Moss, Peter Noever, Wolf D. Prix, Alexis Rochas, Michael Rotondi, Elfie Semotan and Lebbeus Woods. The publication also includes a DVD of Abraham's now-famous last lecture, “The Profanation of Solitude,” given at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, only hours before his untimely death.

Summary:
What is an object? This question was addressed by Graham Harman, the originator of object-oriented philosophy and a central figure of speculative realism, in a lecture at Moderna Museet in Stockholm. Providing a thorough exposition of the object from an ontological standpoint, and putting forward a concept of the object beyond reductionism, Harman declares an approach that brings together philosophy and the arts where an object is not reducible to its components or effects and must instead be approached obliquely or indirectly. The lecture was held on the occasion of "Sculpture after Sculpture," an exhibition of work by Katharina Fritsch, Jeff Koons, and Charles Ray. In the exhibition hall with the show’s thirteen sculptures, thirteen questions about the object were posed to Graham Harman by interlocutors from the worlds of art, business studies, and philosophy.

Summary:
Comment penser que la Nouvelle-France était esclavagiste, alors que le Royaume de France s’affirmait «terre de liberté» et affranchissait tout esclave qui venait s’y réfugier? On s’est plu longtemps à croire que cette situation rendait impensable l’existence d’une telle activité au Canada. Une lecture attentive de la documentation historique dresse néanmoins un autre portrait.
