Summary:
Coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of the trailblazing restaurant Mother Courage of New York City, "Ingredients for revolution" is the first history of the more than 230 feminist and lesbian-feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses that existed in the United States from 1972 to the present. As key sites of cultural and political significance, this volume shows the essential role these institutions served for multiple social justice movements including women’s liberation, LGBTQ equality, and food justice, as well as for training women workers and entrepreneurs. This systematic study outlines the crucial steps it took to establish these businesses during eras when sexism was so institutionalized it was difficult for unmarried women to obtain a bank loan, while also showing the continuities and influences of past businesses on contemporary places. Through an examination of important establishments across America, Alex Ketchum first examines the foundational principles behind these businesses, noting key differences between cooperative, for-profit, and non-profit models. She then looks to issues of financing, labour, pay, food sourcing, and cultural programming to understand how these organizations reconciled feminist beliefs with capitalism and how they strove for more equitable and sustainable business practices. Brimming with illuminating archival research, interviews with influential restaurateurs, and illustrated with photographs, menus, posters, and calendars, "Ingredients for revolution" is a fundamental work of women’s history, food history, and cultural history.

Summary:
La technologie ne nous a pas libéré·e·s de nos quotidiens surchargés, contrairement à ce qu’on nous avait promis. Et il ne semble pas y avoir assez de café et de boissons énergisantes pour transcender la fatigue des jours et de nos vies numériques. Véronique Grenier se lance dans une «odyssée de la fatigue» pour explorer ce qu’elle appelle nos fatigues ordinaires, celles qui nous sont intimes, mais qui nous définissent aussi socialement. Car être fatiqué·e, c’est être occupé·e, et regarder nos fatigues, c’est affronter notre rapport au temps. Pourquoi sommes-nous à ce point épuisé·e·s ? Certaines fatigues nous dépassent-elles ? Avons-nous un peu de prise sur elles ? L’autrice, «fatiguée depuis l’enfance», cherche à répondre à ces questions et en profite pour parler de parentalité, de luttes et de vêtements mous.

Summary:
This volume presents the ArtLab project, which highlights the intersection of science, art, and the public at the Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Switzerland. Designed by the renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, ArtLab is a symbolic place of art, culture, and technology. The project combines three structures: the first is a welcome area to learn about the university's research, the second structure is an exhibition space that hosts art installations, while the third pavilion houses the newly digitized Montreux Jazz Festival archives and a café. The three pavilions are connected, constituting a single building with a folded roof, a topographical flow, and a hybrid steel and wood frame. ArtLab is located near buildings by SANAA and Dominique Perrault, forming a new heart for the EPFL campus.
