Summary:
''Carousel'' opens as a professor begins delivering a lecture to a hot room. Her students have the internet in their pockets, screens on their wrists, seeing in more directions than students ever could before. But what, in fact, are they looking at? In the spirit of John Berger’s ''Ways of Seeing'', Sarah Minor’s ''Carousel'' explores how the pursuit of panoramic(...)

Her students have the internet in their pockets, screens on their wrists, seeing in more directions than students ever could before. But what, in fact, are they looking at? In the spirit of John Berger’s ''Ways of Seeing'', Sarah Minor’s ''Carousel'' explores how the pursuit of panoramic vision frames power, distorts reality, and implicates both viewer and subject. Across short, loping sections that weave history with memoir, close looking with confession, Minor masterfully fuses the slide lecture with the lyric essay, tying medieval tapestries to surrealism and Instagram reels to predator drones. In language that captures the disorientation of that other carousel, the whirling carnival ride, Minor shows how the more we strive to see, the more we ultimately reveal ourselves.

Summary:
Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered. It is the annual flood pulse—the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain—that(...)

Summary:
Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered. It is the annual flood pulse—the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain—that gives a river its vitality, but it is human engineering that kills it, suppressing the flood pulse with dams, irrigation, siltation, dikes, and levees. In demonstrating these threats to the riverine world, award-winning author James C. Scott examines the life history of a particular river, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) of Burma, the heartland and superhighway of Burman culture. Scott opens our understanding of rivers to encompass their entirety—tributaries, wetlands, floodplains, backwaters, eddies, periodic marshlands, and the assemblage of life forms dependent on rivers for their existence and well-being. For anyone interested in the Anthropocene and the Great Acceleration, rivers offer a striking example of the consequences of human intervention in trying to control and domesticate a natural process, the complexity and variability of which we barely understand.

Reflecting the series’ goal to engage with different cultural contexts and time periods, newly commissioned essays from emerging and established scholars address subjects ranging from medieval dance and ancient Assyrian reliefs to expressions of gender embodiment and the art of the Afro-Atlantic. First-person narratives ground theoretical considerations of the theme. Reflecting a commitment to embracing the book form as a space for art itself, ''Art & Histories'' includes a detachable accordion-fold insert with a work from Miami-based artist Glexis Novoa. One of his signature horizon lines unites Washington, DC, and the artist’s native Havana. Meticulous drawings executed on travertine marble entangle the two cities and their monuments, symbolizing both violent and triumphant histories and their ideological reversals.

Thanks to scientists who study its rocks, fossils, and landscapes, we know that Earth history spans over four and a half billion years. But there is still much more to discover. This ''Little History'' recounts our planet’s fascinating past and the science which has shaped how we think about it. Taking us from the formation of the Solar System, the evolution of our atmosphere and oceans, and the first signs of life, through to dinosaurs, mammals, and the eventual arrival of humans, Woodward shows us the full span of Earth history, from deep time to the Anthropocene. Along the way, we learn about the major breakthroughs of the pioneering scientists who have unearthed our planet’s secrets. From fossils of ancient creatures to the very air we breathe, this is the essential guide to our world.

À l'initiative du Fonds de dotation Quartus pour l'architecture, en partenariat avec le ministère de la Culture et piloté par le duo de commissaires : l'AUC et MBL architectes, le Parlement de la recherche a ainsi offert un temps inédit de réflexion, d'exploration et d'effervescence collective pour interroger les grands enjeux de notre société et questionner ce que peut l'architecture. Cet ouvrage, retranscription intégrale de ces échanges ou presque, offre une masse critique de concepts, d'engagements et de sujets de réflexion qui font état des préoccupations actuelles des architectes. Les communautés, la propriété, la « jungle », la critique nomade, la nostalgie, le projet moderne, la transformation, le logement et, surtout, cette série d'attitudes face aux temps présents sont autant de thèmes à déployer, à explorer pour les temps à venir.

Représentant de l'école de São Paulo, l'architecte, lauréat du prix Pritzker en 2006, est également auteur d'un bon nombre d'écrits ayant été publiés seulement de manière ponctuelle dans des revues et des ouvrages spécialisés. Dans ces textes rédigés à l'occasion de remises de prix, de conférences ou de parutions dans les journaux de São Paulo, Mendes da Rocha partage ses réflexions sur des sujets universels – la défense de la démocratie, l'accès à la beauté et au confort pour les classes populaires, la qualité de vie dans les villes, le rapport à la nature et au territoire – qui vont bien au-delà des simples questions disciplinaires. Tout comme ses réalisations, ses textes attestent d'une vision claire : celle d'une architecture émancipatrice, susceptible de façonner une nouvelle société.

Les écrans ne se limitent pas à montrer ou cacher : depuis la préhistoire, ils servent d'intermédiaires dans notre relation au monde en protégeant autant qu'en exposant nos corps. À travers une enquête historico-généalogique et une analyse aussi bien des technologies présentes que du futur proche, les auteurs déconstruisent l'idée selon laquelle les écrans seraient inséparables des images, que celles-ci s'opposeraient aux mots, ainsi que ce qu'ils nomment idéologie de la « Transparence 2.0 », à savoir la prétention de pouvoir éliminer toute médiation tant en communication qu'en politique. Ils montrent également que les technologies portables ne nous rapprochent nullement d'une supposée disparition des écrans, mais semblent plutôt dessiner un quasi-retour à l'utilisation de notre corps, cette fois-ci « augmenté », comme écran. Cela soulève de nouvelles questions relationnelles, éthiques et politiques, que le livre contribue à éclairer.

Written between 2001 and 2025, they reflect nearly three decades of critical engagement with architecture and its cultural contexts. Ranging in length and register—from concise meditations to extended analytical essays—the collection captures the evolution of Scalbert’s thinking as a critic, teacher, and participant in architectural discourse. Organized thematically into sections on buildings, cities, and the environment, ''Totems'' traces a loosely autobiographical arc. Earlier pieces echo Scalbert’s formative years in London during a period of architectural ferment are marked by the work of James Stirling and Norman Foster, influential figures from Europe such as Aldo Rossi, as well as his close association with a generation of contemporaries including Peter St John (Caruso St John Architects), and Tom Emerson and Stephanie Macdonald (6a architects). Later texts expand outward, both geographically and conceptually, as Scalbert brings a speculative and at times personal lens to questions of urbanism, nature, and meaning in contemporary architecture.

At the heart of "Is a River Alive?" is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings, who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Macfarlane takes the reader on a mind-expanding global journey into the history, futures, people and places of the ancient, urgent concept. Around the world, rivers are dying from pollution, drought and damming. But a powerful movement is also underway to recognize the lives and the rights of rivers, and to re-animate our relationships with these vast, mysterious presences whose landscapes we share. The young "rights of nature" movement has lit up activists, artists, law-makers and politicians across six continents—and become the focus for revolutionary thinking about rivers in particular.
