Résumé:
Né en 1926, Hugh Hefner est à l'origine du magazine Playboy et de sa compagne indissociable : la playmate. Pourtant, en dépit d'un tirage centuplé entre 1953 et 1973, il faut se défaire de ce storytelling de banal self-made-man. Car à mi-chemin de Walt Disney et d'Albert R. Broccoli (le principal producteur des films de James Bond), Hefner est d'abord un authentique(...)

Résumé:
Né en 1926, Hugh Hefner est à l'origine du magazine Playboy et de sa compagne indissociable : la playmate. Pourtant, en dépit d'un tirage centuplé entre 1953 et 1973, il faut se défaire de ce storytelling de banal self-made-man. Car à mi-chemin de Walt Disney et d'Albert R. Broccoli (le principal producteur des films de James Bond), Hefner est d'abord un authentique créateur d'univers. Sexy pour les uns, sexiste pour les autres, l'excentricité érotique de ses penthouses cache en réalité une cosmétique bien plus vaste. Avec son jet privé Big Bunny, ses hôtesses, ses clubs, ses Manoirs Est et Ouest, sa Grotte, son zoo, son lit connecté et ses filiales multimédias, Hefner a finalement inventé un monde illusoire à l'image de l'Amérique : le sien.

Résumé:
In this title, Daniel M. Abramson investigates this notion of architectural expendability and the logic by which buildings lose their value and utility. The idea that the new necessarily outperforms and makes superfluous the old, Abramson argues, helps people come to terms with modernity and capitalism’s fast-paced change. 'Obsolescence', then, gives an unsettling(...)

Résumé:
Renowned for his extensive work in architectural history and historic preservation as an educator, scholar, activist, and public lecturer, Richard Longstreth is one of the most important architectural preservationists of the recent past. Looking beyond the Icons offers a generous and diverse selection of his writings over the past twenty-five years. The author explores a variety of topics related to midcentury (ca. 1945–70) preservation efforts, including practical, intellectual, and psychological dilemmas associated with preserving the recent past, preservation-related deficiencies in the urban planning process, and preservation of specific types of buildings. This collection offers a new understanding of the richness and variety of mid-twentieth-century U.S. architecture, landscape, and urbanism, and provides a detailed analysis of both the imperatives for and the challenges involved in preserving this legacy.

Résumé:
Conversant in contemporary theory and architectural history, Stan Allen argues that concepts in architecture are not imported from other disciplines, but emerge through the materials and procedures of architectural practice itself. Drawing on his own experience as a working architect, he examines the ways in which the tools available to the architect affect the design and production of buildings. This second edition includes revised essays together with previously unpublished work. Allen's seminal piece on "Field Conditions" is included in this reworked, revised and redesigned volume. This is a compelling read for student and practitioner alike.

Résumé:
'There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism', is the orthodoxy of the twenty-first century. All too often, ordinary people across the world are being told that the problem of organization is already solved, or that it is being solved somewhere else, or that it need not concern them because they have no choices. This dictionary provides those who disagree with the evidence. Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could be expressed as fictional utopias, they could be excavated from the past, or they could be described in terms of the contemporary politics of anti-corporate protest, environmentalism, feminism and localism. Part reference work, part source book, and part polemic, this dictionary provides a rich understanding of the ways in which fiction, history and today's politics provide different ways of thinking about how we can and should organize for the coming century. Martin Parker is Professor of Organisation and Culture in the Management Centre at the University of Leicester. Valérie Fournier is Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies in the Management Centre at the University of Leicester. Patrick Reedy lectures in organizational behaviour and human resource management at the Business School of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
