Résumé:
With three new chapters, The Architecture of Community provides a contemporary road map for designing or completing today’s fragmented communities. Illustrated throughout with Krier’s original drawings, The Architecture of Community explains his theories on classical and vernacular urbanism and architecture, while providing practical design guidelines for creating livable towns. The book contains descriptions and images of the author’s built and unbuilt projects, including the Krier House and Tower in Seaside, Florida, as well as the town of Poundbury in England. Commissioned by the Prince of Wales in 1988, Krier’s design for Poundbury in Dorset has become a reference model for ecological planning and building that can meet contemporary needs.

Résumé:
Loin des effets journalistiques à caractère sensationnel sur les banlieues, il est temps de comprendre la présente transformation de la question sociale, la remise en cause des réponses apportées à celle-ci, à travers les politiques urbaine, sociale et de sécurité par l'État providence et les tentatives actuelles de renouvellement de ces politiques. L'analyse développée ici par Jacques Donzelot montre, d'un côté, un processus d'altération de la condition salariale qui s'accroît à mesure que l'on va du centre de la société ou de la ville vers la périphérie, des emplois les plus qualifiés vers ceux qui le sont le moins, voire point - un processus qui, dans les faits, conduit à déplacer la population la plus fragilisée et le plus souvent issue de l'immigration vers les territoires de relégation que constituent beaucoup de cités et de grands ensembles. D'un autre côté, on assiste simultanément à un mouvement en sens inverse, produit par ceux qui veulent quitter la périphérie et éviter toute possible promiscuité. L'effet couplé de ces mouvements contraires amène à observer un changement de nature de la question sociale, et pas simplement de forme. Parce que le repli identitaire des populations installe au coeur de la société une logique de séparation où l'évitement remplace la confrontation. Se développe ainsi un urbanisme affinitaire qui modifie complètement les termes traditionnels de la cité et installe pernicieusement une ville -comme une société - à plusieurs vitesses.

Résumé:
This comprehensively revised, illustrated edition discusses recent performance work and takes into consideration changes that have taken place since the book's original publication in 1996. Marvin Carlson guides the reader through the contested definition of performance as a theatrical activity and the myriad ways in which performance has been interpreted by ethnographers, anthropologists, linguists, and cultural theorists. Topics covered include: *the evolution of performance art since the 1960s *the relationship between performance, postmodernism, the politics of identity, and current cultural studies *the recent theoretical developments in the study of performance in the fields of anthropology, psychoanalysis, linguistics, and technology. With a fully updated bibliography and additional glossary of terms, students of performance studies, visual and performing arts or theatre history will welcome this new version of a classic text.

Italo Calvino cast his lofty thoughts toward the pending millennium long before the rest of us. Now that the zeitgeist has caught up with him, it seems a good time to revisit his Six Memos for the Next Millennium, an investigation into the literary values that he wished to bequeath to future generations.

Résumé:
How do you get from here to there? Where is there? Psychologist Colin Ellard demonstrates that navigating through space is both complex and utterly fascinating. Beginning with the neurological and muscular coordination involved in the simple act of reaching for an object, he then investigates our interaction with space--how near and distant landmarks, for example, are used differently in navigation. From the complex behaviour of insects to the epic journeys of sea turtles, from the subtle knowledge of the environment demonstrated by such famed navigators as the Inuit and South Pacific sailors to the conceptual worlds of cyberspace, Where Am I? reveals just how deeply our unique relationship with space defines what it means to be human.

Résumé:
One of the most influential Marxist theorists of the twentieth century, Henri Lefebvre pioneered the study of the modern state in an age of accelerating global economic integration and fragmentation. Shortly after the 1974 publication of his landmark book The Production of Space, Henri Lefebvre embarked on one of the most ambitious projects of his career: a consideration of the history and geographies of the modern state through a monumental study that linked several disciplines, including political science, sociology, geography, and history. State, Space, World collects a series of Lefebvre’s key writings on the state from this period. Making available in English for the first time the as-yet-unexplored political aspect of Lefebvre’s work, it contains essays on philosophy, political theory, state formation, spatial planning, and globalization, as well as provocative reflections on the possibilities and limits of grassroots democracy under advanced capitalism.

Challenging the pervasive idea that corporate capitalism corrupted the idealism of modernist architecture in the postwar era, this publication shows that architecture’s wartime partnership with corporate America was founded on shared anxieties and ideals. Business and architecture were brought together in innovative ways, as shown by Shanken’s reading of magazine advertisements for Revere Copper and Brass, U.S. Gypsum, General Electric, and other companies that prominently featured the work of leading progressive architects, including Louis I. Kahn, Eero Saarinen, and Walter Gropius.
