Summary:
Questions d'échelle « Sans aucun doute les philosophes ont raison de nous dire que rien n'est grand ni petit sauf par comparaison. » Cette phrase, que Swift fait prononcer à Gulliver, est sans conteste le noyau invisible autour duquel est construit cet ouvrage. Cette anthologie présente un corpus de textes variés qui examine les aspects pluriels des questions d'échelle. Plus de cent auteurs (philosophes, écrivains, plasticiens, metteurs en scène, anthropologues, photographes, architectes, maquettistes, etc.) sont ainsi convoqués pour s'exprimer sur la réduction, comme objet et comme symbole, sur la miniature comme jouet ou comme dispositif cognitif, sur le modèle réduit et la maquette, sur la relativité des ordres de grandeur.S'il est bien un dénominateur commun à tous ces textes, quel que soit leur registre, leur ambition, leur provenance, c'est le fait qu'en traitant des questions d'échelle, leurs auteurs interrogent immanquablement la condition humaine, prise entre l'infiniment grand et l'infiniment petit, pour paraphraser Pascal ou Voltaire, et questionnent ainsi notre manière d'être au monde et de l'habiter.

Summary:
Jill Johnston- cultural critic, auto/biographer, and lesbian icon- began her career at the Village Voice as a critic of dance and performance, writing about Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, the activities at Judson Church, Allan Kaprow and Happenings, Fluxus, and the downtown New York art scene. The column eventually became more personal than critical, allowing her to discuss her life, her sexuality, and her politics. This book brings together thirty texts Johnston wrote for the Voice between 1960 and 1974, beginning with her early dance coverage and continuing though the time when, as she put it, "the column moved from the theatre of dance and happenings toward the theatre of my life." As Johnston abandoned an objective critical standpoint, her column interwove forms and formats, and political, literary, art-historical, and critical perspectives, taking turns and loops, reflecting its time and contexts- with the one constant being Johnston's unmistakable, witty, intimate voice. As a person and as a writer she pioneered a model that not only challenged notions of writerly appropriateness but also performed and created a new lesbian identity.

Summary:
An argument for "the contemporary contemporary" as the point of departure for any anachronic relationship with time today. Taking its point of departure in an "anachronic" exhibition, Soulèvements (2016-18), this book is a theoretical exploration of how the notion of contemporaneity--understood as the coming together of different times in the same historical present--relates to the end of a certain history of art. Critical of hitherto dominant chronological, ahistorical, and/or culturally restricted notions of the contemporary, Lund's overall aim is to make an argument for "the contemporary contemporary" as the point of departure for any anachronic relationship with time today, and as the inescapable point of departure for any possible historical imagination.

Highlighting the inherent seditiousness that animates feminist thinking, the book seeks out the lodestone of a volatile politics that calls for and instigates urgent alternatives to the cultural, political, and economic machineries of power that haunt this world. The book documents an exhibition and symposium that brought together women artists, writers, and thinkers.

Summary:
For three weeks in October 1968, Stockholm's Moderna Museet was transformed into a sprawling adventure playground that was free to access for all of the city's children. It concatenated art, research, and urban activism into a visionary hybrid framework. Half a century later, through a series of seminars, exhibitions, and new artworks, 'The New Model' revisits this utopian intervention, reviving discussions of public participation, children's agency, and shifting ideals of collective being. Curated by Lars Bang Larsen and Maria Lind, these inquiries took place from 2011 to 2015 at and around Tensta konsthall, in one of Stockholm's late-modernist suburbs. Through essays, exhibition documentation, and dialogues with the participating artists--among them Palle Nielsen, Magnus Bärtås, Hito Steyerl, Ane Hjort Guttu, and Dave Hullfish Bailey--this volume charts the evolution of two artistic, curatorial, and institutional experiments.

Summary:
This volume investigates the cut-up as a contemporary mode of creativity and important global model of cultural production. The term cut-up thereby serves as an open container for a long list of terms and actions that describe the combination and reassembly of existing motifs, fragments, images and ideas from diverse and disconnected origins into newly synthesized entities. Refusing any disciplinary coherence, this book assembles texts from multifarious eras and origins. At the same time, the contributors share an urgency to question the dichotomy of original creation and derivative appropriation. In this way, the book itself is a cut-up of previously published essays and articles that in their proximity allow for multiple readings to arise. It aims to translate the topic into a wider societal discourse to serve as both a source of inspiration and a platform for critical reflection.

En mobilisant la géographie, la littérature, l’anthropologie et l’histoire pour comprendre cet objet négligé de la philosophie occidentale, Étienne Helmer montre combien les lieux sont bien plus que les simples cadres physiques de nos existences : tout à la fois matrices identitaires et formes événementielles, ils engagent le rapport politique que les individus et les groupes entretiennent avec l’universel dans ses aspects théoriques et pratiques.
