Summary:
Bruno Taut was the leading architectural theorist in Germany during the years 1914–1920. The architectural and social premises which he developed in this seminal period were to be of paramount importance in the subsequent development of modern architecture in Germany in the 1920s. The German example, in turn, was to become a model for the international modern movement. Whereas the history of the modern movement in architecture has generally been written in terms of functionalism, and the availability of materials and technology, the author suggests that many of the roots of modern architecture were mystical and irrational, and were concerned less with function and purpose and more with millenarian dreams of the a society which might be achieved through the meditation of the architecture. Boyd Whyte also suggests that there were political reasons behind this type of architecture and why it failed to achieve its aim of improving the physical and social condition of society.

Beginning with Wagner’s initial articulation of the Gesamtkunstwerk in the wake of the 1848–49 revolution, Koss addresses a series of linked episodes in German aesthetic theory and artistic practice that include the composer’s efforts to build a theater to house his music dramas, culminating in the construction of the festival theater at Bayreuth in 1876; German aesthetic theory and criticism in the visual arts, theater, film, and radio from the 1870s to the 1920s; the founding of the Darmstadt Artists’ Colony in 1901 and that of the Munich Artists’ Theater in 1908; performances and parties at the Bauhaus in the 1920s and 1930s; and the legacy of the Gesamtkunstwerk under National Socialism. Attending to Wagner’s absorption into Fascist aesthetics, Koss foregrounds the revolutionary origins of the Gesamtkunstwerk and its emancipatory potential.

Summary:
Au moment où les marchés immobiliers se retournent, où nous vivons une crise financière mondiale sans précédent, ce livre fait le point sur les mutations profondes d'un secteur incontournable de notre société et de notre économie.Comment les différents acteurs immobiliers produisent-ils nos villes, nos quartiers et nos immeubles, nos logements, nos bureaux et nos commerces? Dans le contexte de financiarisation des marchés immobiliers, l'immeuble est désormais un actif financier semblable aux actions et obligations. De nouvelles institutions et de nouveaux métiers sont nés pour s'adapter à cette évolution du bien immobilier. Le bâtiment est par ailleurs un secteur clé dans le cadre des défis environnementaux. L'entrée en vigueur du protocole de Kyoto sur la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre depuis 2005, puis la mise en place du Grenelle de l'environnement marquent le début d'une révolution verte à laquelle le secteur immobilier est stratégiquement associé. De la finance au développement durable, cet ouvrage aide à comprendre les nouveaux enjeux de l'immobilier.

Belting addresses perspective in the works of Marcel Duchamp, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Jeff Wall, in the process opening up new approaches to their work. According to Belting, the door that Marcel Duchamp installed for his final masterpiece, “Etant Donnés” was a decisive touchstone for both Sugimoto and Wall in their formative years, and he demonstrates how they have referenced its maker many times since.

The title derives from Finlay's famous definition of Concrete poetry as “a model of order, even if set in a space which is full of doubt,” a definition conceived in correspondence with poet Pierre Garnier. Poet and editor Thomas A. Clark's selection of Finlay's letters—to Louis Zukofsky, Robert Creeley and Ernst Jandl among others—explicates a rigorous and moral vision of the act of making.
