Summary:
This book is a collection of essays by Susan Sontag which was published in 1966. It includes some of Sontag's best-known works, including "On Style", "Notes on 'Camp'", and the titular essay "Against Interpretation". In the last, Sontag argued that in the new critical approach to aesthetics the spiritual importance of art is being replaced by the emphasis on the intellect. Rather than recognizing great creative works as possible sources of energy, she argued, contemporary critics were all too often taking art's transcendental power for granted, and focusing instead on their own intellectually constructed abstractions like "form" and "content. " In effect, she wrote, interpretation had become "the intellect's revenge upon art. " The essay famously finished with the words, "in place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics of art".

Elle doit permettre d'engager – ou de poursuivre – un dialogue incisif avec certaines approches théoriques américaines incontournables (October ou Artforum), comme avec les diverses réceptions de la French Theory ou celle des études culturelles, féministes et post-coloniales. Elle témoigne aussi d'une forme d'écriture de la critique expérimentée de manière orientée et méthodique. Enfin, elle restitue le contexte immédiat de son élaboration et – plus largement –l'environnement intellectuel et artistique de Cologne dans ces années, en évitant de céder au mythe d'une scène recentrée autour de quelques figures artistiques.

Summary:
Ron Kasprisin has written a book for students of planning and urban design that reconnects the process of designing with outcomes on the ground, and puts thinking about design back at the heart of what planners do. The book identifies the elements and principles of composition and explores compositional order and structure as they relate to the meaning and functionality of cities. It discusses new directions and methods, outlines the importance of both buildings and the open spaces between them. Mixing accessible theory, practical examples and carefully designed exercises in composition from simple to complex settings, this publication is a textbook for classrooms and design studios across the full spectrum of planning and urban studies fields. Not only filled with illustrations and graphics of projects, it gives students tools to enable them to sketch, draw, design and above all, to think.

Summary:
This collection of writings on beauty includes selections from twenty key philosophers and theoreticians spanning two millennia: Plato, Aristotle, Vitruvius, Alberti, Kant, Burke, Fiedler, Nietzsche, Wilde, Bergson, Bell, Scott, Benjamin, Bataille, Sontag, Jameson, Scarry, Nehamas, Zangwill, Freedberg, and Gallese. With an introduction and critical headnotes explaining the importance of each text, Mark Foster Gage offers a framework for a provocative history of ideas about beauty as they relate to contemporary thinking on architecture and design. In a world increasingly defined by sumptuous visuality, the concepts of beauty and visual sensation are not mere intellectual exercises but standards that define the very nature of design practice across disciplines and that are essential to the emerging worlds of design and architecture in the twenty-first century.

Summary:
Urban sprawl -- low-density subdivisions and business parks, big box stores and mega-malls -- has increasingly come to define city growth despite decades of planning and policy. Urban planning has focused on curbing sprawl by treating its symptoms -- aiming to regulate more compact, livable urban forms into being. Most urbanists view sprawl as an expensive and unsustainable pattern of development. Yet a few defend it as the natural expression of the market neutrally responding to consumer demand and as a reflection of consumers’ lifestyle preferences. In Perverse Cities, Pamela Blais argues that both views fail to recognize market distortions and flawed policy that drive sprawl. She shows that, as a result of crude public policies, a wide range of urban goods and services are subject to inaccurate price signals, including housing, non-residential properties, transportation and utilities. Mis-pricing creates hidden, "perverse" subsidies and incentives that promote sprawl while discouraging more efficient and sustainable urban forms -- clearly not what most planners and environmentalists have in mind. Perverse Cities makes the case that accurate pricing and better policy are fundamental to curbing sprawl and shows how this can be achieved in practice through a range of market-oriented tools that promote efficient, sustainable cities.
