Summary:
By turns historical, critical, and personal, this book examines the use of art—and love—as a resource amid the recent wave of shootings by American police of innocent black women and men. Darby English attends to a cluster of artworks created in or for our tumultuous present that address themes of racial violence and representation idiosyncratically, neither offering solutions nor accommodating shallow narratives about difference. For English, the consideration of art is a paradigm of social life, because art is something we must share. To Describe a Life is an invitation to rethink what life in ongoing crisis is and can be—and, indeed, to discover how art can help.

Images à charge, la construction de la preuve par l'image, livre de l'exposition éponyme, présente, à travers dix cas, comment par l'élaboration d'un protocole l'image se construit pour devenir preuve. Des méthodes de prises de vue scientifiques mises au point par Alphonse Bertillon, criminologue travaillant pour la Préfecture de police de Paris à la fin du XIXe siècle, aux premières images aériennes du front réalisées par l'armée durant la Première Guerre mondiale jusqu'aux clichés permettant d'identifier les victimes de la Grande Purge de Staline, la photographie depuis plus de 150 ans sert de preuve, témoigne du crime : elle atteste d'une certaine réalité et tend ainsi à rendre une vérité.

Summary:
In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier David Boyd sets out to remedy Canada's environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then compares Canada's environmental laws and policies with those in the US, Australia, and the EU, delivering a provocative diagnosis of the causes of Canada's second-rate standards. Finally, he prescribes legal remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the world's environmental leaders while delivering substantial health and economic benefits.

Summary:
Les organisateurs des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques de Paris 2024 ont obtenu carte blanche pour fabriquer en Seine-Saint-Denis la ville rêvée des promoteurs et investisseurs : moderne, innovante, lucrative. Sans pauvre, sans cité à la dérive, sans caillassage de voiture de police, un merveilleux produit d'appel pour nouveaux habitants bankable au pays de Vinci, Eiffage, et Nexity. Il faut regarder par la fenêtre de celles et ceux qui y habitent pour voir que l'« intérêt national » de cette opération a délogé 1500 personnes, détruit des jardins ouvriers, collé une voie d'accès routière à une école. Pourtant, à l'ombre de la puissante métropole parisienne, les contre-projets fleurissent et les désirs d'habiter une ville aussi diverse qu'égalitaire sont vivaces.

Summary:
"Fairy tales 3" brings together the most innovative entries to the third annual fairy tales competition, out of a field of over 1500 participants. The format of each story varies dramatically – from comics, to love stories, text message threads to police reports – but the mission of each is the same: to dramatically rethink how architecture addresses the real issues we face today. The submissions, handpicked by the star-studded jury of the contest, are a kaleidoscopic collection of stunning images and gripping stories, daringly experimenting in the visual realm as well as in the storytelling field. With a layout designed by Bruce Mau Design, Fairy Tales Volume 3 brings together 25 new architectural fairy tales.
