Résumé:
At the beginning of the 1970s, American physicist Gerard K. O’Neill developed the first ideas for colonizing space. Shortly thereafter, Stewart Brand, cyber-communard and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up these ideas and published the book Space Colonies in 1977.

Shortly thereafter, Stewart Brand, cyber-communard and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up these ideas and published the book Space Colonies in 1977. Space Colonies, an edition of Brand’s CoEvolution Quarterly, funded by the proceeds of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up the question of whether space might be colonized by the year 2000. Artist Fabian Reimann takes up Brand and O’Neill’s particular strain of techno-utopianism in Space Colonies: A Galactic Freeman’s Journal. In his photo-essay Reimann assembles historical, present-day and speculative material, combining these with fictional and factual stories to create a composite of different images of the world. With global ecological disaster an even more pressing issue than it was in 1977, and the colonization of space still touted by some as a last-ditch resort, Reimann looks back at the dreams and nightmares of the 1970s with a sophisticated visual humor.

Le tourisme est la première industrie mondiale, même s’il est pratiqué par seulement 3,5 % de la population…Un luxe réservé aux occidentaux qui, depuis l’avènement des congés payés, ont intégré « un devoir d’ailleurs et de loisirs ».

Mais qui n’a pas senti ce malaise, dans une boutique de souvenirs ou sur une plage des Caraïbes couvertes de baigneurs blancs ? Qui n’a jamais ramené de vacances le sentiment de l’absurde ? Aujourd’hui, même les mieux intentionnés des voyageurs contribuent malgré eux à la mondophagie touristique. Et rien ne semble pouvoir arrêter cette conquête démesurée des quatre coins du monde : ni la pollution qu’elle impose, ni la disparition des spécificités culturelles qu’elle vient niveler et encore moins la conscience de l’Autre qu’elle réduit à une relation marchande. Pouvons-nous nous évader du tourisme ? Rodolphe Christin nous invite à retrouver l’essence du voyage : préférer le chemin à la destination, et « disparaître » plutôt qu’apparaître partout.

Weaving historical anecdotes, geographical observations, and literary references, Hazan’s walk guides us through an unknown Paris. With the aid of maps, he delineates the most fascinating and forgotten parts of the city’s past and present. Planning and modernization have accelerated the erasure of its revolutionary history, yet through walking and observation, Hazan shows how we can regain our knowledge of the city of Robespierre, the Commune, Sartre, and the May ’68 uprising.

Ces voyages initiatiques racontés par Philippe Potié donnent une dimension sensible et profondément humaine à ces maîtres, devenus des icônes, et permettent du même coup d’appréhender leur oeuvre avec un regard neuf et ému... et prouvent qu’il est encore possible de découvrir Brunelleschi ou Louis Kahn.

This book examines the origins of psychogeography in the Paris of the 1950s, exploring the theoretical background and its political application in the work of Guy Debord and the Situationists. ''Psychogeography'' continues to find retrospective validation in much earlier traditions, from the visionary writing of William Blake and Thomas De Quincey to the rise of the flâneur and the avant-garde experimentation of the Surrealists. These precursors to psychogeography are discussed here alongside their modern counterparts, for today these ideas hold greater currency than ever through the popularity of writers and filmmakers such as Iain Sinclair, Will Self and Patrick Keiller.

Résumé:
We now have the technology to reach nearby planets. Even though many long-term technical issues still need to be resolved to create the conditions for a permanent, self-sustaining human life on another planet, imagining humans as a multiplanetary species is no longer merely the stuff of science fiction. Against this backdrop, "Planetary Echoes" considers the place of this dream of human life on other planets in the arts, literature and sciences at the beginning of the 21st century. In this volume, a broad, interdisciplinary list of contributors (scientists, astronauts, designers, philanthropists, inventors, artists and curators) weighs in on the imaginable possibilities of space settlement. The list of contributors ranges from Buzz Aldrin to Richard Branson to Norman Foster, with many more perspectives on offer a list eclectic enough to match the eccentricity of the human dream of colonizing outer space.
