Summary:
Once symbols of the past, ruins have become ubiquitous signs of our future. Americans today encounter ruins in the media on a daily basis - images of abandoned factories and malls, toxic landscapes, devastating fires, hurricanes, and floods. In this sweeping study, Miles Orvell offers a new understanding of the spectacle of ruins in US culture, exploring how photographers, writers, painters, and filmmakers have responded to ruin and destruction, both real and imaginary, in an effort to make sense of the past and envision the future. ''Empire of ruins'' explains why Americans in the nineteenth century yearned for the ruins of Rome and Egypt and how they portrayed a past as ancient and mysterious in the remains of Native American cultures. As the romance of ruins gave way to twentieth-century capitalism, older structures were demolished to make way for grander ones, a process interpreted by artists as a symptom of America's "creative destruction." In the late twentieth century, Americans began to inhabit a perpetual state of ruins, made visible by photographs of decaying inner cities, derelict factories and malls, and the waste lands of the mining industry. This interdisciplinary work focuses on how visual media have transformed disaster and decay into spectacles that compel our moral attention even as they balance horror and beauty. Looking to the future, Orvell considers the visual portrayal of climate ruins as we face the political and ethical responsibilities of our changing world. A wide-ranging work by an acclaimed urban, cultural, and photography scholar, ''Empire of ruins'' offers a provocative and lavishly illustrated look at the American past, present, and future.

Summary:
Chateaubriand s'exclamait: «Tous les hommes ont un secret attrait pour les ruines.» Cet ouvrage cherche à cerner cet attrait, qui se rattache à l'exigence de l'ombre face à la radicalité des Lumières. Les ruines ne sont pas seulement un motif décoratif, mais elles sont un instrument méthodologique qui révèle, à cette époque, l'état de crise. Ce qui s'affirme alors comme(...)

Summary:
Chateaubriand s'exclamait: «Tous les hommes ont un secret attrait pour les ruines.» Cet ouvrage cherche à cerner cet attrait, qui se rattache à l'exigence de l'ombre face à la radicalité des Lumières. Les ruines ne sont pas seulement un motif décoratif, mais elles sont un instrument méthodologique qui révèle, à cette époque, l'état de crise. Ce qui s'affirme alors comme nouveau, c'est d'une part ce pouvoir critique, et d'autre part l'expérience à laquelle les ruines confrontent, celle d'une vie affaiblie dont nous écoutons le silence. La question qui travaille ce texte, c'est d'évaluer l'idée de ruine: peut-elle valoir comme un thème? Ou bien son originalité ne tient-elle pas dans sa dépendance à l'égard de l'expérience irréductible à laquelle exposent les ruines, qui est celle de la perte?
