Résumé:
However disparate the style or ethos, beneath architecture’s pluralism lies a number of categorical typologies. In this volume, Austrian architect Andreas Lechner has condensed his profound typological understanding into a single book. Divided into three chapters—Tectonics, Type, and Topos—Lechner’s book reflects upon twelve fundamental typologies: theater, museum, library, state, office, recreation, religion, retail, factory, education, surveillance, and hospital. Encompassing a total of 144 carefully selected examples of classic designs and buildings, ranging across an epic sweep from antiquity to the present, the book not only explains the fundamentals of collective architectural knowledge but traces the interconnected reiterations that lie at the heart of architecture’s transformative power.

Résumé:
Ce « Petit dictionnaire » a été écrit à partir des années 1970 et se compose d’une cinquantaine d’entrées. Alice Ceresa resémantise une partie de notre vocabulaire quotidien pour proposer une vision philosophique et surtout organique du féminin. Elle repense non seulement des termes du champ sémantique du féminisme mais redéfinit aussi la biologie, la religion ou la littérature. En s’emparant avec beaucoup d’originalité de la forme du dictionnaire, elle invente une structure à son image: libre et percutante. Sa prose est furieuse et son ton d’une ironie mordante. Parce qu’elle réfléchit le monde différemment, Ceresa nous invite à le remettre à notre tour en question. Publiée à titre posthume, cette œuvre audacieuse est traduite pour la première fois en français.

Résumé:
This book offers the first critical account of Studio Aalto’s religious modern architecture. Aalto’s ecclesiastical oeuvre is viewed as an evocative subgenre of the practice's portfolio, but its relationship to religion has eluded enquiry. Where previously discussed, the longstanding collaboration between Aalto and the Church has been put down to reciprocal expediency, and the buildings perceived as spatially and structurally stirring experiments, yet devoid of religious meanings or implications. The idiosyncratic plasticity of the Church of the Three Crosses (1955–58) in Imatra, Finland—the most famous and architecturally impressive of Aalto’s churches—is cited as ultimate evidence of Aalto’s exploitation of the religious brief for the creation of a ''sculptural irrationality''.

Résumé:
In Unnatural Wonders the Danto finds himself at a point when contemporary art has become wholly pluralistic, even chaotic-with one medium as good as another-and when the moment for the "next thing" has already passed. So the theorist goes in search of contemporary art's most exhilarating achievements, work that bridges the gap between art and life, which, he argues, is now the definitive art of our time. He argues that aesthetic considerations no longer play a central role in the experience and critique of art. Instead art addresses us in our humanity, as men and women who seek meaning in the "unnatural wonders" of art, a meaning that philosophy and religion are unable to provide.

Louis-Joseph Papineau est une figure à la fois mythique et controversée du nationalisme et de l’indépendantisme québécois. Il paraît aujourd’hui autant susceptible d’être annexé que son souvenir est flou, comme effacé par le temps ou peut-être sciemment poussé vers l’oubli. Ambigu, il rappelle les espoirs et les frustrations d’un peuple qui peine encore à se représenter(...)

Résumé:
Louis-Joseph Papineau est une figure à la fois mythique et controversée du nationalisme et de l’indépendantisme québécois. Il paraît aujourd’hui autant susceptible d’être annexé que son souvenir est flou, comme effacé par le temps ou peut-être sciemment poussé vers l’oubli. Ambigu, il rappelle les espoirs et les frustrations d’un peuple qui peine encore à se représenter lui-même et à imaginer son destin. Yvan Lamonde nous livre une analyse historique de la pensée de Papineau qui éclaire la vision qu’avait celui-ci de l’indépendance et de l’émancipation de ses concitoyens. On découvre qu’avant d’être une question de langue ou de religion, la séparation d’avec la métropole était d’abord pour Papineau une question de démocratie.

Résumé:
Connecting significant religious art and artifacts to their sartorial expressions, 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination' provides a critical analysis of fashion’s engagement with notions of the divine. Exploring fashion’s complex and often controversial relationship with Catholicism, Heavenly Bodies probes what dress reveals about the state of religion and spirituality within contemporary culture, and how it may manifest—or subvert—Catholic values and ideology. Art objects, such as devotional paintings and altarpieces from The Met’s collection, are presented alongside fashions from designers including Cristóbal Balenciaga, Callot Soeurs, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, John Galliano, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Madame Grès, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Jeanne Lanvin, Claire McCardell, Alexander McQueen, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Gianni Versace.

"This other Eden" is a captivating narrative of seven great gardens, beautiful canvases that represent not just pleasure grounds but a country's evolution. Showpieces of grand design, they are also barometers of social change; lasting reflections of intellectual endeavour, of religion and philosophy, science and technology, art and literature, from Robert Cecil's garden at Hatfield House, conceived by the famous botanist and plant-collector John Tradescant, who travelled widely to seek out unusual specimens, to Capability Brown, who 'improved' upon nature to create the archetypal English parkland; from Joseph Paxton, whose engineering feats at Chatsworth mirrored the great Victorian age of technology, to Getrude Jekyll, who turned back to nature and designed the English cottage garden renowned the world over.

Résumé:
What is a horizon? A line where land meets sky? The end of the world or the beginning of perception? In this brilliant, engaging, and stimulating history, Didier Maleuvre journeys to the outer reaches of human experience and explores philosophy, religion, and art to understand our struggle and fascination with limits—of life, knowledge, existence, and death. Maleuvre sweeps us through a vast cultural landscape, enabling us to experience each stopping place as the cusp of a limitless journey, whether he is discussing the works of Picasso, Gothic architecture, Beethoven, or General Relativity. If, as Aristotle said, philosophy begins in wonder, then this remarkable book shows us how wonder—the urge to know beyond the conceivable—is itself the engine of culture.
