Another Reason is a bold and innovative study of the intimate relationship between science, colonialism, and the modern nation. Gyan Prakash, one of the most influential historians of India writing today, explores in fresh and unexpected ways the complexities, contradictions, and profound importance of this relationship in the history of the subcontinent. He reveals how science served simultaneously as an instrument of empire and as a symbol of liberty, progress, and universal reason--and how, in playing these dramatically different roles, it was crucial to the emergence of the modern nation.

De Delacroix à Paul Klee, en privilégiant l'expression française, cet ouvrage retrace les étapes d'un mouvement artistique multiforme dont on reconnaît de plus en plus l'importance. "Le monde est moins réel que ce qui active notre vie intérieure", écrit dans La Voie cruelle Ella Maillart, l'une des grandes voyageuses du XXe siècle. Cette rencontre entre l'intime et l'étranger, entre l'autre et le même, définit la pratique itinérante et s'applique aussi à l'orientalisme. Loin d'être seulement le fruit d'une lecture de cartes ou des fluctuations de tendances, ces œuvres sont au croisement de territoires objectifs et d'imaginaires sculptés par un milieu. Les confrontations entre l'ici et l'ailleurs suscitent, au travers de filtres culturels, des regards propres aux artistes d'Occident, qui sollicitent aujourd'hui nos interprétations.

Summary:
Nearly half a century after its inception, the city of Brasilia, designed by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer, and based on Le Corbusier's plans, continues to be one of the world's most widely debated architectural projects. Envisioned as an egalitarian, harmonically conceived environment, the city was designed to foster collectivity and integration. Central to this effort was the idea of the "Superquadra," large neighbourhoods, each with their own schools, shopping, and entertainment complexes. The latest volume in the CASE series, published in collaboration with Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, takes a new look at the Superquadra as a utopian concept, analyzing both its strengths and weaknesses. It features a rare interview with planner Lucio Costa as well as essays exploring the historical and cultural contexts of Brasilia, day-to-day life in the city, and its technical complexities and realities.
