Résumé:
La question du récit en aménagement et urbanisme donne lieu, depuis plusieurs décennies, à une activité scientifique, éditoriale et pratique soutenue. Le sens donné au terme « récit » diffère toutefois beaucoup selon les traditions disciplinaires ou tout simplement les sensibilités des auteurs, rendant souvent difficile la mise en dialogue des contributions recensées sous ce vocable. Plus qu’un exercice de clarification terminologique, cet ouvrage propose une cartographie de l’extraordinaire extension prise par le récit en aménagement et urbanisme. Selon que l’on mobilise des récits pour faire parler, pour transformer, pour comprendre ou rendre sensible, c’est une manière cohérente d’approcher les savoirs et pratiques à l’origine des formes de l’espace. Le récit apparaît, dans son effervescence, comme un temps d’utopie joyeuse, fait d’emprunts (aux autres disciplines ou arts), de revisitations (de problématisations anciennes), d’expérimentations (de méthodes) et de contestations (des modes certifiés de connaissance).

Résumé:
Brazil is a country of extreme inequalities, one of the most important of which is the acute concentration of rural land ownership. In recent decades, however, poor landless workers have mounted a major challenge to this state of affairs. A broad grassroots social movement led by the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) has mobilized hundreds of thousands of families to pressure authorities for land reform through mass protest. This book explores the evolution of the landless movement from its birth during the twilight years of Brazil's military dictatorship through the first government of Luiz In cio Lula da Silva. It uses this case to test a number of major theoretical perspectives on social movements and engages in a critical dialogue with both contemporary political opportunity theory and Mancur Olson's classic economic theory of collective action.

Résumé:
Comment comprendre l'architecture? Comment rendre compte de ce qui est à la fois expérience perceptive, projet artistique, décision d'urbanisme et choix politique? " Le plan et le détail " expose la philosophie d'un nouvel esprit architectural, déconstruit et remodèle les convictions et les notions sur lesquelles se fonde le travail de l'architecte : la valeur du plan, la construction du cadre de l'habitat, l'insertion du bâti dans le tissu urbain, la relation de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, le rationalisme technique, l'invention du détail. L'auteur permet de repenser les problèmes généraux de l'espace urbain aujourd'hui - dans un dialogue serré et fécond avec de grands créateurs du XX°siècle, et avec leurs oeuvres : Loos et Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Louis Kahn, Aldo Rossi, Peter Eisenman, et Rem Koolhaas. Fortement documenté, et illustré (52 illustrations et photographies noir et blanc; 8 planches couleurs).

Résumé:
In paintings, murals, and book illustrations, Aaron Douglas (1899–1979) produced the most powerful visual legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, prompting the philosopher and writer Alain Locke to dub him the “father of Black American art.” Presenting more than ninety illustrations of Douglas’s works and the commentary of leading critics and historians, this book focuses on the artist’s career from the 1920s through the 1940s in relation to American modernism. Its authors argue that Douglas’s bold work opened doors for African American artists in Harlem and beyond, and that it invited a dialogue with modernism that put African American life, labor, and freedom, along with African traditions and motifs, at its center. New information emerges from these pages, reflecting the rich interchange between the visual arts, music, dance, literature, and politics that shaped Douglas’s work and also defined the Harlem Renaissance.

Résumé:
"Jess : to and from the printed page" focuses on the artist simply known as "Jess" (1923-2004), and celebrates his lively and lifelong dialogue with poets, poetry and printed matter. Published to accompany the iCI touring exhibition, it features collages made for publication, the books and magazines in which they were reproduced, as well as many previously unreproduced paintings, drawings and assemblages. The book offers a fresh perspective on Jess's work by specifically addressing the interrelation between his art and the California literary culture of which he was a part. It also explores the intimacy of the collaborations and conversations in which he participated over five decades, and points to his effect on younger artists today - through his use of "pop" materials in collage and paint, his early homoerotic themes and his enjoyment of the book format as a compositional vehicle.

Résumé:
Pays de la pierre, pays de l'esprit, l'Arménie porte un héritage trois millénaires riches d'histoire. Guidée par de grandes dynasties royales, unie par un christianisme fervent et par un alphabet unique, la nation arménienne a initié entre le IXe et le XIIIe siècle un renouveau architectural. Depuis Ani, la capitale de l'an mil, depuis l'" île royale " d'Aghtamar, jusqu'à Tatev, aux confins du Karabagh, de vallées en lacs s'égrènent les joyaux du patrimoine arménien : Gochavank, Haghbat, Géghart, Etchmiadzin, Tégher, Novarank, etc. Eglises dressées à flanc de rocher, pierres tombales aux surprenants bas-reliefs, tympans finement sculptés, khatchkhars- ces " pierres-croix " sans équivalents hors d'Arménie- magnifiquement photographiés, sont ici mis en regard d'un choix de poèmes ou de textes d'historiens, du Ve au XVIe siècles, portés par une même foi. Dans ce dialogue de la pierre et de l'esprit s'affirme avec force l'identité arménienne.

Résumé:
This publication sheds light on the era between 1948 and 1970, when the arrival at Milano Centrale train station not only represented a turning point in the lives of certain young Swiss graphic artists but also became a decisive moment for the history of design. Being cosmopolitan had its difficulties, but it richly rewarded many recent graduates of the famous Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich. Supplied with a type of education that was not available in Italy at the time, Swiss graphic artists encountered an optimistic and undogmatic attitude that was inspiring and new. Italy’s path to a widely admired form of visual communication was marked by a profound transalpine dialogue and earned Milan a reputation as a city for which it was worth leaving behind one’s homeland. The publication includes such icons of the history of poster design as Max Huber and Walter Ballmer.

Résumé:
This volume questions ingrained approaches, values and assumptions of graphic design in globalized societies. It aims to initiate a dialogue between designers, scholars, critics and commissioners, who investigate responsibilities, potentials, politics, limits and risks of designing visual communication. How innocent is graphic design? Whom is it addressing, whom is it in/excluding? What does it bring about? When defining the role and impact of visual communication, what future questions lie ahead? The publication combines case studies and academic reflections, trying to sketch a common ground for basic research into the parameters and value systems of graphic design. It is a road trip between various possible conceptual challenges and praxis. It is a temporal inventory, without the claim of completeness. It is a question mark, as well as an exclamation mark. And it wants to stimulate critical thinking in graphic design.

Résumé:
This book explores ‘spatial practices’, a loose and expandable set of approaches that embrace the political and the activist, the performative and the curatorial, the architectural and the urban. Acting upon and engaging with the public realm, the field of spatial practices allows people to reconnect with their own sense of agency through engagement in space and place, exploring and prototyping alternative futures in the here and now. The 24 chapters contain essays, visual essays and interviews, featuring contributions from an international set of experimental practitioners including Jeanne van Heeswijk (Netherlands), Teddy Cruz (Estudio Teddy Cruz + Fonna Forman, San Diego), Hector (USA), The Decorators (London) and OOZE (Netherlands). Beautifully designed with full colour illustrations, Spatial Practices advances dialogue and collaboration between academics and practitioners and is essential reading for students, researchers and professionals in architecture, urban planning and urban policy.

Résumé:
Though Expo 67 looms large in our collective memory, it is often remembered nostalgically as a remote historical event. The conditions that made Expo an exceptional cultural moment are often forgotten: remarkable creative freedom was granted to artists, architects, filmmakers, and designers to experiment with technology and new forms, resulting in an incredible diversity of cultural production. Originating with the Musée d'art contemporain's 2017 exhibition, In Search of Expo 67 brings together original work from nineteen artists and new critical essays to explore the connections between archives and memory. Organized thematically, artists' words and works are put into dialogue with archival imagery that reconstructs key aspects of the original event. Brilliantly illustrated with original artworks and archival documents and images, In Search of Expo 67 revitalizes this utopian moment in Montreal's history as a site of unexpected tensions and immense creativity.
