Summary:
Le style, la beauté, la mobilisation des goûts et des sensibilités s’imposent chaque jour davantage comme des impératifs stratégiques des marques : le capitalisme d’hyperconsommation est un mode de production esthétique. Dans les industries de consommation, le design, la mode, la publicité, la décoration, le cinéma, le show-business des produits chargés de séduction sont créés en masse. Ils véhiculent des affects et de la sensibilité, ils agencent un univers esthétique proliférant et hétérogène par l’éclectisme des styles qui s’y déploie.

Summary:
The exhibition ‘Sensing Place’, which took place at the House of Electronic Arts Basel, engages with urban environments, new digital infrastructure and municipal space concepts. The transformed perception of cities and urban space due to today’s data-oriented society forms a major focus, wherein the mediatisation of the urban landscape plays a significant role. The increasing, hybridising overlap of physical urban space and virtual information space in everyday life is explored through a range of theoretical and artistic positions. Contributors include Sabine Himmelsbach, Dietmar Offenhuber, Mark Shepard, Yolande Harris, Christian Nold and Gordan Savii, among others.

Summary:
« Ambiances en partage » : une telle expression recouvre au moins deux acceptions. On peut questionner la possibilité du partage des ambiances. On est ici dans l'« ambiance ressentie », l'ambiance en tant qu'éprouvée par les sens. On peut également mettre l'idée d'ambiance en partage. On est là dans l'« ambiance réfléchie », l'ambiance en tant que soumise à l'examen de pensée. Il en va des possibilités de passage entre le champ de l'expérience sensible et celui de la pensée réflexive. Et déjà nous sommes plongés au centre même de l'énigme, tant l'ambiance met en tension le sentir et le connaître, procède d'un je-ne-sais-quoi qui ne saurait trouver de résolution définitive. Le propos développé dans ce recueil consiste à tirer profit des paradoxes sensibles que cette énigme pose et des mystères concrets qu'elle recèle. C'est que l'énigme des ambiances en partage prend de multiples visages et conduit à de nombreux questionnements relatifs aux cultures, aux langages et aux corps urbains.

Summary:
Space and place have become central to analysis of culture and history in the humanities and social sciences. Making Place examines how people engage the material and social worlds of the urban environment via the rhythms of everyday life and how bodily responses are implicated in the making and experiencing of place. The contributors introduce the concept of spatial ethnography, a new methodological approach that incorporates both material and abstract perspectives in the study of people and place, and encourages consideration of the various levels—from the personal to the planetary—at which spatial change occurs.

After decades of unchecked sprawl, more people than ever are moving back to the city. Dense urban living has been prescribed as a panacea for the environmental and resource crises of our time.

After decades of unchecked sprawl, more people than ever are moving back to the city. Dense urban living has been prescribed as a panacea for the environmental and resource crises of our time.

The award-winning journalist Charles Montgomery finds answers to such questions at the intersection between urban design and the emerging science of happiness, during an exhilarating journey through some of the world’s most dynamic cities.
