Le sens de l'espace au japon, c'est le déploiement du monde japonais, de la terre d'un certain archipel à la manière dont le moi s'y définit dans son rapport avec les choses et avec autrui. C'est l'organisation des parcours dans un jardin-promenade, l'agencement des pièces dans l'ancien palais du shôgun à Edo, mais aussi certains principes managériaux des grandes(...)

Résumé:
Le sens de l'espace au japon, c'est le déploiement du monde japonais, de la terre d'un certain archipel à la manière dont le moi s'y définit dans son rapport avec les choses et avec autrui. C'est l'organisation des parcours dans un jardin-promenade, l'agencement des pièces dans l'ancien palais du shôgun à Edo, mais aussi certains principes managériaux des grandes entreprises, l'apparente absence du sujet dans certains poèmes, les repères situationnels de la morale ordinaire, et jusqu'à la remise en cause au XXe siècle, par la " logique du lieu " nishidienne, du principe d'identité qui fonda l'inférence rationnelle chez Aristote. En effet, chaque société crée son espace dans un sens qui lui est propre, et qu'analogiquement elle déploie dans tous les domaines de son existence ; mais en outre, la spatialité japonaise a ceci de particulier qu'elle a construit un paradigme existentiel : un paradigme de la vie même, à l'opposé du mécanicisme de la modernité occidentale. On en tire ici les leçons pour une architecture naturelle, en prise concrète avec les sens de notre corps dans le paysage.

Résumé:
The Forbidden City (Zijin Cheng) lying at the heart of Beijing formed the hub of the Celestial Empire for five centuries. Over the past century it has led a reduced life as the refuge for a deposed emperor, as well as a heritage museum for monarchist, republican, and socialist citizens, and it has been celebrated and excoriated as a symbol of all that was magnificent and terrible in dynastic China’s legacy. The Forbidden City’s vermilion walls have fueled literary fantasies that have become an intrinsic part of its disputed and documented history. Mao Zedong even considered razing the entire structure to make way for the buildings of a new socialist China. The fictions surrounding the Forbidden City have also had an international reach, and writers like Franz Kafka, Elias Canetti, Jorge Luis Borges, and Mervyn Peake have all succumbed to its myths. The politics it enshrined have provided the vocabulary of power that is used in China to the present day, though it is now better known as a film set or the background of displays of opera, rock, and fashion.

Résumé:
Ancient Chinese architecture is not only a source of reference for modern Chinese design, it has also had an international influence and attracted global attention. Moreover, architectural remains in China reveal much about the history of this ancient civilisation. The palaces, gardens, temples, tombs and dwellings of the Chinese people reflect, for example, the military achievements of the Qin emperor, the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, the palace intrigues of the Ming Dynasty, the diversity of Chinese culture through the ages and the skill of countless generations of craftsmen and labourers. This publication provides an accessible, illustrated introduction to this essential part of China's cultural heritage.

As Goldhill explores Jerusalem during the Victorian period, which he claims laid the groundwork for much of the modern city, the impact of British mandatory rule, and the city today, he faces head-on the difficulty of telling the history of a place where every fact is contested by conflicting nationalist narratives.

Résumé:
This publication is a book of stories, depictions of vanished ways of life told from the point of view of a contemporary observer. The stories tell how people lived in Japan some two hundred years ago, during the late Edo Period, when traditional technology and culture were at the peak of development and realization, just before the country opened itself to the West and joined the ranks of the industrialized nations. They tell of people overcoming many of the identical problems that confront us today--issues of energy, water, materials, food and population--and forging a society that was conservation-minded, waste-free, well-housed, well-fed and economically robust.
