Does the recent explosion of the architectural manifesto signal a new urgency of the form, or does it represent a hopeless effort to resuscitate something that has outlived its useful lifespan? 'After the Manifesto' brings together architects and scholars to revisit the past, present and future of the manifesto.

Summary:
"The City as a Resource" proposes a model of the city as a resource containing untapped possibilities and potentials for both individuals and society as a whole. This resource, however, is not inexhaustible; it will only be able to meet the needs of future generations if it is handled sustainably, rather than with an eye for short-term profits and partisan interests.

Summary:
"The City as a Resource" proposes a model of the city as a resource containing untapped possibilities and potentials for both individuals and society as a whole. This resource, however, is not inexhaustible; it will only be able to meet the needs of future generations if it is handled sustainably, rather than with an eye for short-term profits and partisan interests. The challenge, then, is to conceive of the city as a regenerative circuit--a complex of spatial and aesthetic qualities that can be sustained and developed over time. The City as a Resource is edited by Nicolas Kretschmann, Mark Michaeli, Tim Rieniets and Christian Salewski, and uses texts, projects and examples to present state-of-the-art urban planning methods and strategies for handling cities as resources, giving new life and new meaning to the idea of sustainable urban design.

Summary:
What with global warming, the war on terror, extreme political polarization, an unstoppable demographic explosion and migration, anarchy and chaos are becoming parts of our world system in hitherto unprecedented ways. What to call the planetary state of emergency we are now entering - a “New World Disorder,” perhaps, or “Entropic Empire”? In his latest book, the Dutch philosopher, art historian, writer and activist Lieven De Cauter suggests that an entropic empire is created by opposing forces or philosophical poles: the “state of exception” (tyranny) and the “state of nature” (anarchy). Entropic Empire: Considerations on the Planetary State of Emergency is part post-historical sci-fi scenario and part philosophical consideration on the eternal return of prehistory (the “state of nature”). For De Cauter, the simple but troubling question is: are we falling out of history?

Summary:
Au début de l’année 2009, Oliver Stone, marqué par la lecture de Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope de Tariq Ali, essai sur les bouleversements politiques de l’Amérique latine, souhaite discuter avec son auteur, alors que lui-même prépare un ambitieux documentaire d’une dizaine d’heures, The Untold History of the United States, 1900-2012. L’Histoire non dite des États-Unis est le fruit de cette conversation. De la Révolution russe à la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de la Guerre froide à la Pax americana et aux contestations récentes, Tariq Ali et Oliver Stone y dressent un vaste panorama critique de l’histoire contemporaine, y réintégrant des épisodes oubliés, volontairement ou non, et faisant ainsi de L’Histoire non dite des États-Unis un livre provocant qui ne manque pas d’inciter à la controverse et de stimuler le débat.
