Summary:
This publication offers a detailed tour of the key places of the "final migration" and explores the possibilities and pitfalls inherent in the developing new world order. From villages in China, India, Bangladesh and Poland to the international cities of the world, Doug Saunders portrays a diverse group of people as they struggle to make the transition, and in telling the story of their journeys — and the history of their often multi-generational families enmeshed in the struggle of transition — gives an often surprising sense of what factors aid in the creation of a stable, productive community.

Summary:
This publication is Trevor Paglen's first photographic monograph. Social scientist, artist, writer and provocateur, Paglen has been exploring the secret activities of the U.S. military and intelligence agencies--the "black world"--for the last eight years, publishing, speaking and making astonishing photographs. As an artist, Paglen is interested in the idea of photography as truth-telling, but his pictures often stop short of traditional ideas of documentation. In the series Limit Telephotography, for example, he employs high-end optical systems to photograph top-secret governmental sites; and in The Other Night Sky, he uses the data of amateur satellite watchers to track and photograph classified spacecraft in Earth's orbit. In other works Paglen transforms documents such as passports, flight data and aliases of CIA operatives into art objects. Rebecca Solnit contributes a searing essay that traces this history of clandestine military activity on the American landscape.

Summary:
The photographs by Richard Misrach assembled in this volume are a stark, affecting reminders of the physical and psychological impact of Hurricane Katrina as told by those on the ground, and seen through the lens of a contemporary master. Rather than simply surveying the damage, Misrach-who has photographed the region regularly since the 1970s, most notably for his ongoing "Cancer Alley" project-found himself drawn to the hurricane-inspired graffiti. "Destroy This Memory" presents previously unpublished and starkly compelling material, all of which Misrach shot with his 4 MP pocket camera while also working on a separate archive of over 1,000 photographs with his 8 x 10 large-format camera. Created between October and December 2005, this series of images serves as a potent, unalloyed document of the raw experiences of those left to fend for themselves in the aftermath of Katrina. With no essay, titles or even page numbers in the way, the words on these homes, cars and trees offer a searing testament that continues to speak volumes.

Summary:
In our society, cultural activity usually refers to the high culture of the elites and popular mass culture. Clarke Mackey argues for a third category: vernacular culture. Vernacular culture comprises all those creative, non-instrumental activities that people engage in daily: conversations between friends, social gatherings and rituals, play and participatory sports, informal storytelling, musical jam sessions, cooking and gardening, homemade architecture, and street festivals. In this discussion, Mackey maintains that practising and celebrating such activities at the expense of passive, consumer culture have far-reaching benefits. Mackey further examines how literacy, imperialism, industrialization and electronic technologies have produced a culture of spectatorship, apathy and powerlessness.

Summary:
Architecte et intellectuel militant au sein de nombreux courants de gauche, Roland Castro a participé à cent débats d'idées depuis ses premiers engagements. Membre de l'Union des étudiants communistes, exclu du PCF en 1965, il devient maoïste dans les années 1970, rencontre Sartre, Lacan (avec qui il entame une psychanalyse de sept ans) et introduit dans sa réflexion d';architecte des aspects politiques et citoyens. Il ouvre un cabinet d'architecte en 1979, donne naissance à l'opération « Banlieues 89 » sous Mitterrand et fonde en 2003 le Mouvement de l'utopie concrète, qui défend « 89 propositions pour restaurer le lien social », afin d'amener la société vers plus d'égalité républicaine et de justice.Dans ces Mémoires, l'architecte engagé (qui ne permettra « à personne de dire que 65 ans est l'âge de la retraite ») revient sur les épisodes de sa vie : sa naissance deux jours avant la promulgation du Statut des Juifs d'octobre 1940, qui met sa famille au ban de la société ; la fréquentation autodidacte des bibliothèques municipales ; l'engagement anticolonial durant la guerre d'Algérie ; l'attrait des révolutions cubaines et chinoises ; le « mois sabbatique » de Mai 68 ; la « méchanceté » de Sartre et la reconnaissance pour Lacan, son « sauveur » ; l'élan de SOS Racisme et la stature de Mitterrand (« je me suis toujours fait une certaine idée de moi-même ») ; sa candidature à l'élection présidentielle en 2002 ; sa passion pour la France ; le grand Paris… sans oublier les six femmes et les cinq enfants de cet homme qui plaide pour une « immaturité féconde » et une « naïveté volontaire ».

Summary:
Cet ouvrage sur les frères Honegger représente une contribution originale à la connaissance de l’architecture suisse des années 1930- 1960. Il peut se lire comme une monographie, celle d’une agence d’architecture ayant pénétré, plus que d’ordinaire, les mécanismes concrets de la production, et comme l’exploration d’un territoire plus vaste, celui d’une discipline dont les conditions d’exercice se sont radicalement transformées après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’ouvrage se divise en deux parties : dans l’une se succèdent, dans l’ordre chronologique, des notices consacrées à la description et à l’analyse d’une vingtaine de réalisations significatives ; dans l’autre se superposent, à travers une série d’essais, les plans problématiques où se joue la complexité de l’oeuvre : aventure familiale, formes de l’habitation moderne, pensée constructive, découpages techniques, rapports aux pratiques artistiques, évaluations patrimoniales, stratégies de sauvegarde, etc. En situant la production du bureau Honegger dans l’inextricable réseau de ses déterminations historiques, en cherchant à articuler entre eux des univers de connaissance éloignés, le livre donne une idée de la spécificité des objets architecturaux et des valeurs hétérogènes qu’ils transportent. L’exigence intellectuelle qui le sous-tend revêt, dans la conjoncture actuelle, un caractère exemplaire puisqu’il constitue un antidote efficace contre l’indifférence qui menace physiquement, un peu partout dans le monde, l’héritage de cette période.
