Summary:
A fresh interpretation of Jeremy Bentham, finding that his “radical foolery” embodied a social ethics that was revolutionary for its time. Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) is best remembered today as the founder of utilitarianism (a philosophy infamously abused by the Victorians) and the conceiver of the Panopticon, the circular prison house in which all prisoners could be seen by an unseen observer—later seized upon by Michel Foucault as the apotheosis of the neoliberal control society. In this volume in the Untimely Meditation series, Christian Welzbacher offers a new interpretation of Bentham, arguing that his “radical foolery” (paraphrasing Goethe's characterization of Bentham) actually embodied a social ethics that was new for its time and demands proper historical contextualization rather than retroactive analysis from the vantage point of late capitalism. Welzbacher provides just such an analysis, offering an account of the two great utilitarian projects that occupied Bentham all his life: the Panopticon and the Auto-Icon.

Summary:
How do we design our cities when our most intimate experiences are incessantly tracked and our feelings become the base of new modes of production that prioritize the immaterial over the material? Since the 2008 financial crisis, lists of well-being indicators, happiness indexes, and quality-of-life rankings have become viral. Concurrently, the emotional data presented in(...)

Summary:
How do we design our cities when our most intimate experiences are incessantly tracked and our feelings become the base of new modes of production that prioritize the immaterial over the material? Since the 2008 financial crisis, lists of well-being indicators, happiness indexes, and quality-of-life rankings have become viral. Concurrently, the emotional data presented in these surveys- including perceptions on questions such as loneliness, friendship and intimate fears- feed an expanding political agenda of happiness and a new form of market whose most decisive asset is "affect." 'Our Happy Life' investigates the architectural implications of this trend by dissecting and questioning the political, economic, and emotional conditions that generate space today. Organized as a visual narrative with critical readings by Will Davies, Daniel Fujiwara, Simon Fujiwara, Ingo Niermann, Deane Simpson, and Mirko Zardini, this book reveals architecture, city, and landscape as contested surfaces, caught between the intagible guidelines of happiness indexes, the new marketplace of emotions, and the relentless ideology of positivity.

Summary:
Parce qu’il s’est immiscé dans les moindres recoins des sociétés contemporaines, le capitalisme a bouleversé le visage des villes telles que nous les connaissons. La concentration de la population mondiale dans des agglomérations désormais gérées comme des entreprises fait de la construction de l’espace urbain un observatoire privilégié tant des logiques managériales et financières que de la production des inégalités sociales et spatiales. De l’adaptation au changement climatique à la Smart City en passant par le zonage logistique et l’économie de plateformes, cette encyclopédie critique propose une cartographie inédite de la ville contemporaine, qui invite concevoir l’espace comme un rapport social et donc comme un lieu de lutte. Présentant de riches enquêtes empiriques menées aux quatre coins du globe, ses entrées exposent de manière thématique les principaux enjeux auxquels sont confrontées des populations marginalisées à la fois d’un point de vue matériel et dans les processus de décisions qui affectent leur vie quotidienne. La démarche suivie, qui associe à ce réquisitoire implacable l’esquisse systématique de voies alternatives, argumente de manière actuelle et accessible en faveur de la défense renouvelée d’un « droit à la ville ».
