Summary:
Ranging from ancient philosophy to pandemic politics, Agamben’s profound and disquieting essay dismantles the logic that turns emergencies into permanent rule, reason into impotence, and safety into domination. Against the will to fear, he posits an act of memory. Not of facts, but of worldhood itself.

Summary:
With philosophical nerve and unforgettable thought experiments, Judith Jarvis Thomson’s "A defense of abortion" transformed the moral debate on reproductive rights. First published in 1971, it became a cornerstone of modern moral philosophy, widely taught, fiercely debated, and endlessly cited. Few essays have so deeply shaped public discourse—or made abstract reasoning(...)

Summary:
This is a conceptual journey through Joep van Lieshout’s radical thought experiments. The art and design produced by the artist’s studio go beyond aesthetic objects, becoming functional tools for an alternative way of life. The book is like an architectural blueprint for an imaginary house. Readers can wander from one room to another, where each space has specific, logical, aesthetical, surprising, and also sometimes unsettling elements. In this way the works are a test – an invitation to look past the initial shock the viewer might experience. This imaginary house does not tell us how to live, but teaches that we must consciously think about the way we organise our lives.

For her new book, she traveled to Bangladesh with Iwan Baan to visit the buildings created there as well as her women's empowerment project, Dipdii Textiles. Dutch photographer Iwan Baan is best known for his images that show life and interactions in architecture. In Bangladesh, he created intense and sensual images that, between documentation and art, bear witness to what architecture can achieve when it is not about representation but about social benefit.

Encampments occupied by unhoused and precariously sheltered people have proliferated in recent years in cities and towns across Canada. While right-to-housing legislation and other rights protections exist on paper, their minimal legal force has left municipalities mostly free to use policing and bylaw enforcement to remove encampments from public spaces.

Summary:
Encampments occupied by unhoused and precariously sheltered people have proliferated in recent years in cities and towns across Canada. While right-to-housing legislation and other rights protections exist on paper, their minimal legal force has left municipalities mostly free to use policing and bylaw enforcement to remove encampments from public spaces. The result is unnoticed but devastating violence against highly vulnerable people who have no choice but to survive in public spaces. Anti-encampment bylaws raise the question of what legal and moral rights unhoused people have to live in public space. ''The Bylaw State'' shows that bylaws are powerful municipal instruments. Far from being innocuous laws enforced by municipal workers, bylaws have quietly emerged over the last two decades as the method of governing homelessness in Canada. Case studies in Prince George and Vancouver demonstrate the extraordinary expansion of municipal bylaws and the place of courts in defending the legal rights of homeless people to take up public space. Legal scholar Alexandra Flynn and sociologist Joe Hermer explain how municipalities create an exclusionary ideal of public space through evictions and banishment, and they make a powerful case for a more inclusive approach that protects people not just spaces.

As questions about representation and ethics have increasingly arisen, these institutions have proclaimed their interest in diversity and responsible conservation, asserting both their adaptability and their immovably essential role in a flourishing and culturally rich society. With "Decolonize museums," Shimrit Lee punctures this fantasy, tracing the essentially colonial origins of the concept of the museum.

Summary:
In "The culture box," Harley Parker applies Marshall McLuhan’s medium theory to the museum, analyzes the museum as the site of many media, and specifies the ways in which designer-communicators can engage in inter-sense design to connect audiences and artifacts. Parker argues that museums should retrain the sensory perception of visitors and foster cultural engagement, participation, and empathy. In order to accomplish this, he recommends the construction of what he calls a "new centre," emphasizing both "new" and "news," a small "newseum" which would engender discussion and debate. Parker envisions these centres being constructed adjacent to any existing large prestige museum and containing three exhibits: a current public exhibit, an exhibit in process, and an area for gathering materials for a forthcoming exhibit.

Summary:
This volume serves as an illustrated herbarium, a work of popular science, and an art book, all in one. It showcases the incredible diversity and miraculous properties of nearly 150 seeds from across the globe. Each page features a single seed, brought to life through exquisite illustrations that capture its intricate details and unique characteristics; it is organized by the ways in which seeds are dispersed—by wind, water, or human and animal interaction. The book features brief, engaging texts that explain how nature has perfectly designed each seed for its specific role. Readers will encounter the brilliant green spiral of the alfalfa seed, which scatters far and wide when grown in the wild. They will find new fascination in familiar seeds like the sugar maple’s jewel-like propellers and the wild carrot’s dome of tiny white flowers.
