Summary:
Since the early twentieth century, contemporary art and art theory have creatively challenged the status of representation. During that time, the court of law has come to rely on a variety of new representational modes and technologies. The law is increasingly staged on a screen and the photographs, video documents, audio recordings used as evidence are not entirely distinct from their correlates in contemporary art, cinema and mass media. What questions of representation, judgment and justice cross borders between art and the law? Through the contribution of internationally renowned artists and scholars, this anthology explores how the aesthetics of new media technology and its spatial implementations affect the judicial system in relation to fundamental concepts such as truth and representation. Artistic contributions by John Baldessari, Dan Graham, Harun Farocki, Stan Douglas, Aernout Mik, Agency, Judy Radul, Renzo Martens, Ana Torfs, The Atlas Group, René Magritte, Model Court, Rana Hamadeh, Thomas Demand, Les Levine Essays by Julie A. Cassiday, Costas Douzinas, Piyel Haldar, Martin Jay, Peter Goodrich, Richard Mohr, Judy Radul, Avital Ronell, Eyal Sivan, Cornelia Vismann

Summary:
L’apparition du numérique a entraîné ces dernières années une transformation profonde des modèles de production et de circulation des livres, qui ont peu changé depuis le XVIIIe siècle. Le web, en particulier, a provoqué une remise en question du sens même du partage des connaissances : d’une économie de la rareté, nous sommes passés à la surabondance. Auparavant, une poignée d’institutions centralisatrices, privées et publiques, étaient garantes du choix, de l’évaluation et de la distribution des contenus ; aujourd’hui, il n’y a plus de systèmes de légitimation, ou alors ils sont déstructurés. Après avoir fait le constat de la crise de ces modèles et de la difficulté d’en proposer de nouveaux, ce livre présente les enjeux et les défis complexes du nouveau monde de l’édition numérique.

Summary:
Arlette Farge’s Le Goût de l’archive is widely regarded as a historiographical classic. While combing through two-hundred-year-old judicial records from the Archives of the Bastille, historian Farge was struck by the extraordinarily intimate portrayal they provided of the lives of the poor in pre-Revolutionary France, especially women. She was seduced by the sensuality of old manuscripts and by the revelatory power of voices otherwise lost. In The Allure of the Archives, she conveys the exhilaration of uncovering hidden secrets and the thrill of venturing into new dimensions of the past.

Summary:
A riveting investigation of a beloved library caught in the crosshairs of real estate, power, and the people's interests by the reporter who broke the story.In a series of cover stories for "The Nation" magazine, journalist Scott Sherman uncovered the ways in which Wall Street logic almost took down one of New York City's most beloved and iconic institutions: the New York Public Library. In the years preceding the 2008 financial crisis, the library's leaders forged an audacious plan to sell off multiple branch libraries, mutilate a historic building, and send millions of books to a storage facility in New Jersey. Patience and Fortitude is at once a readable history of the library's secret plans, and a stirring account of a rare triumph against the forces of money and power.
