Summary:
Alors que l’idéologie vient légitimer le réel, l’utopie se manifeste comme une alternative critique à ce qui existe. Si l’idéologie préserve l’identité des personnes ou des groupes, l’utopie, pour sa part, explore ou projette du possible. Toutes deux se rapportent au pouvoir et font partie de notre identité, mais la première est orientée vers la conservation, la seconde(...)

Summary:
Alors que l’idéologie vient légitimer le réel, l’utopie se manifeste comme une alternative critique à ce qui existe. Si l’idéologie préserve l’identité des personnes ou des groupes, l’utopie, pour sa part, explore ou projette du possible. Toutes deux se rapportent au pouvoir et font partie de notre identité, mais la première est orientée vers la conservation, la seconde vers l’invention. À travers une relecture de penseurs comme Saint-Simon, Fourier, Marx, Mannheim, Weber, Althusser, Habermas ou Geertz, Ricœur s’empare de ce couple conceptuel classique pour développer une authentique œuvre de philosophie politique.

Summary:
Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, and focusing on the prolific period between 1960 and 1972, this volume highlights examples of Roth’s most exciting and innovative books and graphics. An essay by curator Sarah Suzuki uses an extended investigation of “Snow” (1964–1969), a complex book-sculpture, as a touchstone from which to further investigate Roth’s use of language, iconography, technical innovations and relationships to other artists. A conservation essay offers two case studies that explore preservation issues and address larger concerns about the challenges of conserving contemporary art and organic materials.

Summary:
''Canadian environmental philosophy'' is the first collection of essays to take up theoretical and practical issues in environmental philosophy today, from a Canadian perspective.

This wide range of topics is as diverse and challenging as the Canadian landscape itself.
