Summary:
The iF communication design award has long been regarded as a barometer of current trends in communication design - this year, it will be conferred for the seventh time. There is virtually no other industry as dynamic as that of communication design. The task of continuously facilitating access to information, organizing content, and using visual attractions to guide the user through the complexities of everyday life is not always a simple one. Only especially good communication media are capable of fulfilling these expectations and offering assistance. With the help of its jury of international experts, the iF communication design award 2010 once again honors commercials, publications, campaigns, corporate reports, websites, and other communication media which are especially outstanding in their designs. The iF communication design award yearbook 2010 offers an appraisal and appreciation of the winners of the iF communication design award 2010 as well as exciting insights into the world of communication design.

Summary:
The metropolis has been the near exclusive focus of queer scholars and queer cultures in America. Asking us to look beyond the cities on the coasts, Scott Herring draws a new map, tracking how rural queers have responded to this myopic mindset. Interweaving a wide range of disciplines—art, media, literature, performance, and fashion studies—he develops an extended(...)

Summary:
The metropolis has been the near exclusive focus of queer scholars and queer cultures in America. Asking us to look beyond the cities on the coasts, Scott Herring draws a new map, tracking how rural queers have responded to this myopic mindset. Interweaving a wide range of disciplines—art, media, literature, performance, and fashion studies—he develops an extended critique of how metronormativity saturates LGBTQ politics, artwork, and criticism. To counter this ideal, he offers a vibrant theory of queer anti-urbanism that refuses to dismiss the rural as a cultural backwater.

Summary:
Colors have a presence over and beyond the objects - buildings, spaces, billboards, artefacts and people - that make up the city. Not only does color give meaning to cities, cities give meaning to color. Whether carefully coordinated, clashing or an expression of materials, color is a powerful cultural, economic and political force in cities. Yet discussions on the city(...)

Summary:
Colors have a presence over and beyond the objects - buildings, spaces, billboards, artefacts and people - that make up the city. Not only does color give meaning to cities, cities give meaning to color. Whether carefully coordinated, clashing or an expression of materials, color is a powerful cultural, economic and political force in cities. Yet discussions on the city do not usually focus much on color, perhaps because urban colors are too often understood as being beyond any authority or taste or simply dismissed as cosmetic, naive or intangible. Volume 3 of New Geographies brings together artists and designers, anthropologists, historians, planners, and philosophers within the aim of exploring the potency, the interaction, and neglected design possibilities of color at the scale of the city.

Summary:
Les six essais qui composent cet ouvrage portent sur des sujets apparemment très différents : des logos, un "total look", un concept de magasin et un couteau. Si ces objets sont ici soumis à une analyse sémiotique, c'est qu'ils illustrent, au-delà de leur commune appartenance à la culture matérielle contemporaine, un même mode de production du sens.

Summary:
Depuis un quart de siècle, le discours sur la ville se focalise majoritairement sur les grands ensembles de logements sociaux situés à la périphérie des villes. Ce type d'habitat, longtemps convoité par les classes moyennes, incarne aujourd'hui tout à la fois la misère et la relégation, la violence et la ségrégation, l'insécurité et le ghetto, l'échec urbanistique et la(...)

Summary:
Depuis un quart de siècle, le discours sur la ville se focalise majoritairement sur les grands ensembles de logements sociaux situés à la périphérie des villes. Ce type d'habitat, longtemps convoité par les classes moyennes, incarne aujourd'hui tout à la fois la misère et la relégation, la violence et la ségrégation, l'insécurité et le ghetto, l'échec urbanistique et la segmentation sociale des territoires urbains. Cet ouvrage montre qu'il n'existe pois une banlieue unique, mais plutôt des territoires périurbains qui agglomèrent une grande diversité de lieux, d'activités et de populations. Il analyse les processus de fragmentation sociale et spatiale, ainsi que la spirale de l'exclusion caractéristique des banlieues sensibles.

Summary:
New perspectives on sound have generated a wave of scholarship in musicology, cultural studies, and the social sciences. But the equally important rise of sound in the arts since 1960 has so far been sparsely documented. This volume is the first sourcebook to provide, through original critical writings and artists’ statements, a genealogy of sonic pathways into the arts, philosophical reflections on the meanings of noise and silence, dialogues between art and music, investigations of the role of listening and acoustic space, and a comprehensive survey of sound works by international artists from the avant-garde era to the present.
