Recours aux ressources locales, préservation de l’existant, recherche de l’efficacité dans les relations entre acteurs… tels sont les outils qu’il met en œuvre dans le contexte contraint d’une ruralité aux moyens techniques et financiers des plus modestes.

J’ai choisi, à Paris, douze lieux, des rues, des places, des carrefours, liés à des souvenirs, à des événements ou à des moments importants de mon existence. Chaque mois, je décris deux de ces lieux ; une première fois, sur place (dans un café ou dans la rue même) je décris « ce que je vois » de la manière la plus neutre possible, j’énumère les magasins, quelques détails d’architecture, quelques micro-événements (une voiture de pompiers qui passe, une dame qui attache son chien avant d’entrer dans une charcuterie, un déménagement, des affiches, des gens, etc.) ; une deuxième fois, n’importe où (chez moi, au café, au bureau) je décris le lieu de mémoire, j’évoque les souvenirs qui lui sont liés, les gens que j’y ai connus, etc. Chaque texte [...] est, une fois terminé, enfermé dans une enveloppe que je cachette à la cire. Au bout d’un an, j’aurai décrit chacun de mes lieux deux fois, une fois sur le mode du souvenir, une fois sur place en description réelle. Je recommence ainsi pendant douze ans [...]. J’ai commencé en janvier 1969 ; j’aurai fini en décembre 1980 ! j’ouvrirai alors les 288 enveloppes cachetées [...]. Je n’ai pas une idée très claire du résultat final, mais je pense qu’on y verra tout à la fois le vieillissement des lieux, le vieillissement de mon écriture, le vieillissement de mes souvenirs : le temps retrouvé se confond avec le temps perdu ; le temps s’accroche à ce projet, en constitue la structure et la contrainte ; le livre n’est plus restitution d’un temps passé, mais mesure du temps qui s’écoule ; le temps de l’écriture, qui était jusqu’à présent un temps pour rien, un temps mort, que l’on feignait d’ignorer ou que l’on ne restituait qu’arbitrairement (L’Emploi du temps), qui restait toujours à côté du livre (même chez Proust), deviendra ici l’axe essentiel. Je n’ai pas encore de titre pour ce projet ; ce pourrait être Loci Soli (ou Soli Loci) ou, plus simplement, "Lieux". »

Summary:
This book is about bodies. Presenting the work of Dutch performance artist Mariken Overdijk, it explores how bodies traverse the familiar surroundings of one’s home or move along the familiar routes of everyday life, but also the relation of bodies to public space. On another level, the book also addresses how artistic research recounts the experiments and experiences, collections and vistas gained by the researcher during the course of their work. It shows that any good (artistic) research also creates futures. Overdijk makes clear that artworks are not singular events, but each creates a possibility that, however minimal, changes lives forever. Foreword by Jeroen Boomgaard.

In focusing on creating preferable conditions, the discipline of design is optimistic by default. And yet, vernacular manifestations of skepticism, dissatisfaction and even resentment toward design abound.

Summary:
In focusing on creating preferable conditions, the discipline of design is optimistic by default. And yet, vernacular manifestations of skepticism, dissatisfaction and even resentment toward design abound. Instead of systematically discarding them, can these "sad passions" shed a valuable light on the blind spots of the field? Can disillusion be something more than disillusionment? Can it become an emotional method to unveil design’s dysfunctions and contradictions? Author Silvio Lorusso looks into historical and present manifestations of design disillusion to shorten the gap between expectations and reality when it comes to the everyday practice of designers. Using humorous and irreverent visuals, often containing jokes about design, Lorusso constructs thoughtful dichotomies on such topics as synthesis and autonomy, power and impotence, and aspirations and compromise. The result is an amusing yet academic consideration of the design profession and its future.

Summary:
This special issue of "Writingplace" brings together the work of the EU COST Writing Urban Places network. Using narrative approaches to analysis and design, the network highlights the specificity of local urban cultures in contemporary European cities. Drawing on research from a range of disciplines (including architecture, urban studies, literary theory, sociology and media studies), the issue explores spatial approaches that promote responsible, site-specific and socially inclusive design strategies for European cities. The first section offers reflections on the theoretical, methodological and practical outcomes of the Writing Urban Places project. The second part contains case studies of European cities that were studied during the EU COST Action, including Limerick, Almada, Osijek, Tallinn, Tampere, Porto, Canakalle, Skopje and Delft. These collected findings offer important insights for students, scholars and spatial practitioners interested in urban planning and the European city.
