With decades of experience covering conflict zones, he focuses on what war means for those living through it – the soldiers on the front lines, civilians sheltering in devastated towns and cities, and those forced to flee. His images capture the visible destruction and the psychological and emotional toll of prolonged violence, making this book a visual and narrative testimony with a complex and layered depiction that is reflecting on the human cost of the largest war in Europe since World War II. It explores displacement, survival, and the boundaries of humanity in times of crisis. Where does humanity end and inhumanity begin? How do individuals maintain dignity and resilience under constant threat? What does survival look like when basic needs – and life itself – are no longer guaranteed?

Summary:
The style of the medieval period, which flows through the bloodstream of western culture, was vigorously re-established in post-Enlightenment England. This one-volume history of the Medieval Revival is the first coherent account of it, especially those aspects that are expressed and reflected in literature. The book focuses on the period 1760 to 1971, with an Epilogue on(...)

Summary:
The style of the medieval period, which flows through the bloodstream of western culture, was vigorously re-established in post-Enlightenment England. This one-volume history of the Medieval Revival is the first coherent account of it, especially those aspects that are expressed and reflected in literature. The book focuses on the period 1760 to 1971, with an Epilogue on the reverberations of medievalism in the present day. The rebuilding of the Palace of Westminster, after its destruction by fire in 1834, re-established Gothic as the national style. But medieval imitation manifests itself wherever one cares to look: in literature, architecture, the applied arts, religion, politics, and even Hollywood. In this skilled dissection of the components of this pervasive cultural movement, Michael Alexander rejects the idea that medievalism was confined to the Victorian period, and overturns the suspicion that it is by its nature escapist.

Sur quoi repose la société de l'Internet? Quels enjeux environnementaux et sociaux soulève le bonheur de la connexion permanente? À quels renoncements, à quels sacrifices mène la numérisation de nos vies? Les technologies se sont multipliées sans véritable délibération sur leurs implications sociétales. Dans ce conditionnement généralisé, nous nous sommes résignés à ce que le numérique façonne notre existence. L'ambition de cet essai est d'ouvrir le débat sur ce sujet, mais aussi de faire découvrir des auteurs passionnants (Jacques Ellul, Hartmut Rosa, Philippe Bihouix, Bernard Charbonneau, Jaime Semprun...) afin de prendre la mesure de cette démesure qui semble achever l'expropriation des humains d'eux-mêmes et la destruction du monde vivant. Ce pamphlet, véritable critique radicale de l'Internet et de la société technicienne, se mêle à un récit de vie élaboré à partir d'une observation attentive des transformations de nos vies quotidiennes au travail, dans l'espace social et dans le domaine privé.

Summary:
The Earth has entered a new epoch: the Anthropocene. What we are facing is not only an environmental crisis, but a geological revolution of human origin. In two centuries, our planet has tipped into a state unknown for millions of years. How did we get to this point? Refuting the convenient view of a “human species” that upset the Earth system, unaware of what it was doing, this book proposes the first critical history of the Anthropocene, shaking up many accepted ideas: about our supposedly recent “environmental awareness,” about previous challenges to industrialism, about the manufacture of ignorance and consumerism, about so-called energy transitions, as well as about the role of the military in environmental destruction. In a dialogue between science and history, The Shock of the Anthropocene dissects a new theoretical buzzword and explores paths for living and acting politically in this rapidly developing geological epoch.

His aim is to move beyond capturing an accurate likeness?to access the emotions within, the uncertainty, the shadow as much as the light, the complex sense of self that otherwise lays hidden. “Revealed and concealed, beauty and destruction, ease and disease, shame and shameless,” explains Kander, “These paradoxes are essential to all my work and represent what is common to all my varied subject matter.” This collection, the first book dedicated to his portraiture, shows the range and nuance of Kander’s work. His enigmatic depictions of actors, artists, musicians, authors, sports icons and political leaders?from Barack Obama, John le Carré and Alexander McQueen to Tracey Emin, Robert Plant and Prince Charles are layered and penetrating, revealing unexpected moments of reverie and vulnerability.

Summary:
Véritable laboratoire social et urbanistique, Los Angeles préfigure le modèle à venir des mégapoles modernes : destruction de toute mixité sociale par le cloisonnement strict des populations dans des quartiers réservés, laissés, pour certains, à l’abandon et à la domination des gangs, tandis que les couches les plus aisées se “bunkerisent" grâce à la généralisation de la vidéo-surveillance et des milices de sécurité privées. La ville vit désormais dans un état perpétuel de “guerre sociale de faible intensité”, susceptible à tout moment d’éclater, comme lors des émeutes provoquées par le tabassage de Rodney King. À la fois sociologique, urbanistique et politique, illustré de photos saisissantes, l’essai de Mike Davis, qui s’appuie autant sur des statistiques précises que sur son expérience personnelle, offre, au-delà du cas de Los Angeles, un portrait poignant de l’Amérique contemporaine et présage de l’évolution qui menace les sociétés occidentales.

He had multiple reasons for engaging in such a project, but the strongest was the desire to portray New York as a highly diverse, multi-centered metropolis. Having spent a major part of his career photographing the city through often challenging times – the dichotomy of destruction and creativity of the 1980s, the mortal wounding of 9/11, and the suspended animation of the Covid-19 pandemic – Rose was perhaps uniquely equipped to document the city at this moment of political uncertainty under the increased strain of new arrivals, many of whom are refugees from around the world. For a new generation of New Yorkers, the trains roll on ceaselessly, and despite the title, ''Last Stop'' is not so much about endings as it is about reinvention.

Vicuña countered anthropocentric and hetero-patriarchal urges with healing and appreciation, reviving the aesthetic and spiritual bonds between human and more-than-human entities and worlds. Revolving around this vision of interconnectivity, this book, which accompanies a joint exhibition of the same name of Kunsthalle Wien and Wiener Festwochen, seeks to create a collective dialogue around unequal distribution of power, sovereignty, and social and ecological justice. The exhibited works and written contributions reflect on the rationale of exploitation, the fast-paced mining of raw materials, and environmental destruction as a colonial legacy. They deconstruct Western anthropocentric models and enduring colonial and racist discourses, trace the stories of indigenous struggles for collective survival, and celebrate encounters defined by solidarity in their resistance to capitalist extraction, misogyny, imperialist violence, and dispossession.

Summary:
In a new series of original texts for Drawing Matter, artist Deanna Petherbridge provides commentary on a number of her recent pen and ink drawings. The drawings use imagined architectural imagery as a metaphorical means to deal with complex subject matter about social and political issues. Since her initial response to civil war, destroyed cities and enforced migrations through and out of Syria in the triptych ''The Destruction of the City of Homs'' Petherbridge has embarked on a series of multi-panelled drawings about migrations, walls and barriers and threatened institutions. Her commentary on ''Crossing the Abyss'' (2019) can be read in Drawing Matter’s ''Women writing architecture'' publication or online; this seminal drawing sparked off a series of related works. The Covid-19 pandemic has been her major preoccupation under lockdown, but Petherbridge is hoping that her latest on-going pieces reflecting on pollution, governmental controls and devastated landscapes prove to be the last in the series.
