Summary:
Ces Cahiers d’enquêtes politiques rassemblent sept récits d’expérimentations et sept textes écrits dans leur sillage. Il y est question d’amateurs de science-fiction et de la Renaissance, de Mai 68 et d’enquêtes ouvrières, de soin et de squat, de communautés qui s’accrochent à la vie, de jardins collectifs, de ruines d’industrie, de hack et de machines bidouillées. Autant d’enquêtes singulières qui engagent, à chaque fois, des manières de faire collectif et des manières de raconter. Ces textes invitent à circuler entre des mondes et à y glaner les moyens de transformer d’autres situations, ailleurs. Ils ne constituent donc pas un programme, plutôt une invitation au voyage.

The art of memory

Summary:
The ancient Greeks, to whom a trained memory was of vital importance - as it was to everyone before the invention of printing - created an elaborate memory system, based on a technique of impressing 'places' and 'images' on the mind. Inherited and recorded by the Romans, this art of memory passed into the European tradition, to be revived, in occult form, at the(...)

Summary:
The ancient Greeks, to whom a trained memory was of vital importance - as it was to everyone before the invention of printing - created an elaborate memory system, based on a technique of impressing 'places' and 'images' on the mind. Inherited and recorded by the Romans, this art of memory passed into the European tradition, to be revived, in occult form, at the Renaissance, and particularly by the strange and remarkable genius, Giordano Bruno. Such is the main theme of Frances Yates's unique book, in the course of which she sheds light on such diverse subjects as Dante's Divine Comedy, the form of the Shakespearian theatre and the history of ancient architecture.

Summary:
In "The Building in the Text", Roy Eriksen shows that Renaissance writers conceived of their texts in accordance with architectural principles. His approach opens the way to wide-ranging discussions of the structure and meaning of a variety of literary texts and also provides new insights into the famed architectural ekphrases of Alberti and Vasari. Analyzing such words as "plot," "topos," "fabrica," and "stanza," Eriksen discloses the fundamental spatial symmetries and complexities in the writings of Ariosto, Shakespeare, and Milton, among other major figures. Ultimately, his book uncovers and clarifies a tradition of literary architecture that is rooted in antiquity and based on correspondences regarded as ordering principles of the cosmos.

Summary:
''De architectura'', written by Vitruvius in the first century BCE, is revered as the first treatise on architectural theory. Since its Renaissance resurrection, the enigmatic text has been adapted, refined, and redefined in subsequent iterations. ''Vitruvius without text'' bypasses critical interpretations to focus on the material history of the printed editions that appeared throughout Europe. It surveys over 100 editions from 1486 to the present, tracing the power of the printed page in establishing the Roman author as an authority. By focusing on the impact of the physical objects of the Vitruvian canon, it highlights how the history of printing and architecture intersect to form a symbiotic relationship.

Summary:
Material objects—things made, used, and treasured—tell the story of a people and place. So it is for the Indigenous Sámi living in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, whose story unfolds across borders and centuries, in museums and private collections. The objects created by the Sámi for daily and ceremonial use were purchased and taken by Scandinavians and foreign travelers in Lapland from the seventeenth century to the present, and the collections described in ''From Lapland to Sápmi'' map a complex history that is gradually shifting to a renaissance of Sámi culture and craft, along with the return of many historical objects to Sápmi, the Sámi homeland.

Summary:
Pour Stéphane Gendron, notre modèle d’occupation du territoire, fondé sur l’agriculture et l’exploitation des ressources naturelles, est arrivé au bout de sa logique. La renaissance de la ruralité passera nécessairement par une réforme de la gouvernance et de la fiscalité municipales, un plan de repeuplement axé sur la mixité sociale, un soutien à la paysannerie et une législation plus favorable à la main-d’oeuvre étrangère. Si on veut nourrir la planète d’ici 2050, il faudra aussi miser sur les nouvelles technologies, en pratiquant par exemple une agriculture hors champ, et abandonner l’élevage industriel. Saurons-nous réinventer notre volonté de vivre ensemble et rapailler nos territoires?
