Résumé:
Sous forme d’évocations brèves et laconiques, Henri Lefebvre dresse une liste d’œuvres inachevées, disparues, oubliées, détruites ou parfois même jamais réalisées. Cet inventaire des manques s’élève en une mélopée incantatoire qui, l’espace d’un instant, rend présentes ces « unités » perdues pour l’histoire de la création et de la pensée humaines. Mais son(...)

Sous forme d’évocations brèves et laconiques, Henri Lefebvre dresse une liste d’œuvres inachevées, disparues, oubliées, détruites ou parfois même jamais réalisées. Cet inventaire des manques s’élève en une mélopée incantatoire qui, l’espace d’un instant, rend présentes ces « unités » perdues pour l’histoire de la création et de la pensée humaines. Mais son véritable pouvoir est de faire œuvre nouvelle, récitatif dont le rythme résonne en nous comme celui d’une unité retrouvée.

Résumé:
To Henri Lefebvre, the space and 'lived everydayness' of the inter-dependent, multi-faceted city produces manifold possibilities of identifiction and realisation through often imperceptible interactions and practices. Art and the City takes this observation as its cue to examine the role of art against a backdrop of globally rising urban populations, taking into account the more recent performative and relational 'turns' of art that have sought in their city settings to identify a participating spectator - an implicated citizen.

Résumé:
L’hypothèse de Henri Lefebvre, qui envisageait en 1970 une urbanisation totale de la planète, se vérifie de plus en plus. En un siècle, le nombre de citadins au niveau planétaire a en effet été multiplié par douze. La moitié de la population mondiale réside dans une ville, soit près de trois milliards sept cents millions de personnes : il devient plus que nécessaire de réfléchir à l’urbain, au citadin et aux rapports qu’ils entretiennent. C’est dans cette perpective que la sociologie urbaine apporte, depuis plus d’un siècle, des éléments de compréhension au phénomène urbain.

What do struggles over pipelines in Canada, housing estates in France, and shantytowns in Martinique have in common? In "Urban revolutions," Stefan Kipfer shows how these struggles force us to understand the (neo-)colonial aspects of capitalist urbanization in a comparatively and historically nuanced fashion. In so doing, he demonstrates that urban research can offer a(...)

Résumé:
What do struggles over pipelines in Canada, housing estates in France, and shantytowns in Martinique have in common? In "Urban revolutions," Stefan Kipfer shows how these struggles force us to understand the (neo-)colonial aspects of capitalist urbanization in a comparatively and historically nuanced fashion. In so doing, he demonstrates that urban research can offer a rich, if uneven, terrain upon which to develop the relationship between Marxist and anti-colonial intellectual traditions. After a detailed dialogue between Henri Lefebvre and Frantz Fanon, Kipfer engages creole literature in the French Antilles, Indigenous radicalism in North America and political anti-racism in mainland France.

Résumé:
In 1970, Henri Lefebvre put forward the radical hypothesis of the complete urbanization of society, a circumstance that in his view required a radical shift from the analysis of urban form to the investigation of urbanization processes. Drawing together classic and contemporary texts on the "urbanization question", this book explores various theoretical, epistemological, methodological and political implications of Lefebvre's hypothesis. It assembles a series of analytical and cartographic interventions that supersede inherited spatial ontologies (urban/rural, town/country, city/non-city, society/nature) in order to investigate the uneven implosions and explosions of capitalist urbanization across places, regions, territories, continents and oceans up to the planetary scale.

Résumé:
''The Social (Re)Production of Architecture'' brings the debates of the 'right to the city' into today’s context of ecological, economic and social crises. Building on the 1970s' discussions about the 'production of space', which French sociologist Henri Lefebvre considered a civic right, the authors question who has the right to make space, and explore the kinds of relations that are produced in the process. In the emerging post-capitalist era, this book addresses urgent social and ecological imperatives for change and opens up questions around architecture's engagement with new forms of organization and practice. The book asks what (new) kinds of 'social' can architecture (re)produce, and what kinds of politics, values and actions are needed.

Résumé:
People often bemoan the spread of malls, suburban strips, subdivisions, and other sprawling places in contemporary America. But are these places as bad as critics claim? In Sprawling Places, David Kolb questions widely held assumptions about our built environments. Engaging with the work of such writers and critics as Henri Lefebvre, Manuel Castells, Karsten Harries, and Christian Norberg-Schulz, Kolb seeks to move discussions about sprawl away from the idea that we must “choose between being rooted in the local Black Forest soil or wandering in directionless space.” By increasing our awareness of complexity and other issues, Kolb hopes to broaden and deepen people’s thinking about the contemporary built environment and to encourage better designs in the future.

Résumé:
The Situationist International (SI), led by Guy Debord and central to the Paris uprising in May 1968, published many incendiary texts on politics and art in the journal Internationale Situationniste. One central theme to their work was rethinking the city: from a site for routine consumption and work to a utopia that breaks down barriers between function and play. In this essential volume Tom McDonough collects together all of the SI’s key essays on urbanism and the city. The book is illustrated by images that were core to the SI project. It includes such key texts as “The Theory of Dérive,” “Formulary for a New Urbanism,” and many previously untranslated texts, including those that came out of the Situationists’ collaboration with Henri Lefebvre.

Résumé:
À l’heure où l’appropriation de l’espace public fait l’objet de multiples revendications, Matthias Lecoq explore les différents rôles que revêt l’habitant dans la production de la ville et s’interroge sur le sens à donner à ses actions. Reprenant le concept du droit à la ville forgé par Henri Lefebvre il y a plus de cinquante ans, cet ouvrage se propose d’en interroger le sens politique actuel en le mettant en perspective avec la question centrale de la citoyenneté. De Madrid à Paris, en passant par Genève, Rennes et Ambilly, cet ouvrage expose des cas concrets qui tout en illustrant ce mouvement d’appropriation par les habitants, permettent de dresser le portrait du citoyen urbain d’aujourd’hui. À travers cette figure sont mis à jour certains des axes les plus passionnants de la rencontre hautement politique entre praxis de la ville et développement urbain.

Résumé:
This publication contests the tendency, still dominant in most social science, to reduce human geography to a reflective mirror, or, as Marx called it, an "unnecessary complication." Beginning with a critique of historicism and its constraining effects on the geographical imagination, Edward Soja builds on the work of Foucault, Berger, Giddens, Berman, Jameson and, above all, Henri Lefebvre, to argue for a historical and geographical materialism, a radical rethinking of the dialectics of space, time and social being. The author charts the respatialization of social theory from the still unfolding encounter between Western Marxism and modern geography, through the current debates on the emergence of a postfordist regime of "flexible accumulation." The postmodern geography of Los Angeles, exposed in a provocative pair of essays, serves as a model in his account of the contemporary struggle for control over the social production of space.
