Summary:
Urban spaces became battlefields, signifiers have been invaded, new structures have been established: NetCulture replaced counterculture in most parts and also focused on the everchanging environments of the modern city. Important questions have been brought up to date and reasked, taking current positions and discourses into account. The major question still remains, namely how to create culturally based resistance under the influence of capitalistic pressure and conservative politics. This collection of essays and contributions attempts to address this question and its implications for different scientific and artistic fields.

The name LAb[au] is a pun inspired partly by the Bauhaus, whose methodological and experimental reflection on the industrialisation of art helped to inspire the group. Their first monograph presents an important selection of the group's artworks, which they term MetaDeSIGN; an approach characterised by the establishing of systems and processes, whose new rules and geometries become the principle artistic creation.

De même que le queer pose l'existence d'un troisième genre par delà féminin et masculin, de même l'artivisme suggère qu'il existe un troisième terme entre esthétique et politique. C'est l'art festif des collectifs décidés à réenchanter la vie, l'utopie des squats et des zones d'autonomie temporaire, la fronde libertaire des hackers et artistes du Net. Ce sont les détournements du Critical Art Ensemble, de Banksy et du Billboard Liberation Front, les sabotages joyeux de la guérilla pâtissière et des Yes Men, les infiltrations de JR, les performances de Steven Cohen ou Oreet Ashery, les prêches de Reverend Billy... Toutes ces pratiques, dont l'enjeu est d'opposer l'imagination et la créativité à l'ennui, la liberté d'action à la surveillance généralisée, la révolte collective au repli individuel, s'inscrivent dans une galaxie sans frontières...

Price:

Summary:
In Walled States, Waning Sovereignty, Wendy Brown considers the recent spate of wall building in contrast to the erosion of nation-state sovereignty. Drawing on classical and contemporary political theories of state sovereignty in order to understand how state power and national identity persist amid its decline, Brown considers both the need of the state for legitimacy and the popular desires that incite the contemporary building of walls. The new walls—dividing Texas from Mexico, Israel from Palestine, South Africa from Zimbabwe—consecrate the broken boundaries they would seem to contest and signify the ungovernability of a range of forces unleashed by globalization. Yet these same walls often amount to little more than theatrical props, frequently breached, and blur the distinction between law and lawlessness that they are intended to represent. But if today's walls fail to resolve the conflicts between globalization and national identity, they nonetheless project a stark image of sovereign power. Walls, Brown argues, address human desires for containment and protection in a world increasingly without these provisions. Walls respond to the wish for horizons even as horizons are vanquished.

Summary:
First published in 1967, Guy Debord's stinging revolutionary critique of contemporary society, The Society of the Spectacle has since acquired a cult status. Credited by many as being the inspiration for the ideas generated by the events of May 1968 in France, Debord's pitiless attack on commodity fetishism and its incrustation in the practices of everyday life continues to burn brightly in today's age of satellite television and the soundbite. In Comments on the Society of the Spectacle, published twenty years later, Debord returned to the themes of his previous analysis and demonstrated how they were all the more relevant in a period when the integrated spectacle was dominant. Resolutely refusing to be reconciled to the system, Debord trenchantly slices through the doxa and mystification offered tip by journalists and pundits to show how aspects of reality as diverse as terrorism and the environment, the Mafia and the media, were caught up in the logic of the spectacular society. Pointing the finger clearly at those who benefit from the logic of domination, Debord's comments convey the revolutionary impulse at the heart of situationism.
