Carte du monde et carte du tendre, cette Mappemonde, nécessairement lacunaire, répertorie quelques-unes des coordonnées mystérieuses où les méridiens et les parallèles de notre Terre entrecoupent les lignes d’univers de la fiction. Entre la réinvention du passé, les évidences du présent, et le bruissement des possibles, et en entremêlant mon histoire personnelle à une mythique littérature universelle, je vous convie à une réflexion sur la façon dont la littérature contribue à l’amplification de notre spectre temporel, et à la découverte de fréquences émotives étrangères, dont nous ne pouvons qu’espérer qu’elles nous acheminent de plus en plus près de nous-mêmes

Résumé:
The task of archiving was once entrusted only to museums, libraries, and other institutions that acted as repositories of culture in material form. But with the rise of digital networked media, a multitude of self-designated archivists—fans, pirates, hackers—have become practitioners of cultural preservation on the Internet. These nonprofessional archivists have democratized cultural memory, building freely accessible online archives of whatever content they consider suitable for digital preservation. In Rogue Archives, Abigail De Kosnik examines the practice of archiving in the transition from print to digital media, looking in particular at Internet fan fiction archives.

Résumé:
This essay opens up multiple dimensions of the oncept from architectural, political, philosophical, and technological points of view. There is some historical analysis here, but the contributors are more focused on the future of public space under conditions of growing urbanization and democratic confusion. The added interest offered by non-academic work—visual art, fiction, poetry, and drama—is in part an admission that this is a topic too important to be left only to theorists. It also makes an implicit argument for the crucial role that art, not just public art, plays in a thriving public realm.

« J’essaie peut-être de dire une chose impossible : être où je ne suis pas, parler avec les morts, aimer une inconnue. J’essaie, penché sur l’image, de fixer le point où la fiction prend corps. Des histoires liées à la photographie, au cinéma, à des images qui hantent la mémoire ; des récits en train de s’écrire, des enquêtes en train d’être menées, des scènes en train de se filmer ; des études de cas : Antonioni, Gus Van Sant, Chris Marker, Giacometti, Stendhal, Duras… Au fond de toute image, de tout récit, il s’agit avant tout de saisir l’absence, d’écrire la disparition. » Bertrand Schefer.

Résumé:
Accelerationism is the bastard offspring of a furtive liaison between Marxism and science fiction. Its basic premise is that the only way out is the way through: to get beyond capitalism, we need to push its technologies to the point where they explode. This may be dubious as a political strategy, but it works as a powerful artistic program. Other authors have debated(...)

Résumé:
Accelerationism is the bastard offspring of a furtive liaison between Marxism and science fiction. Its basic premise is that the only way out is the way through: to get beyond capitalism, we need to push its technologies to the point where they explode. This may be dubious as a political strategy, but it works as a powerful artistic program. Other authors have debated the pros and cons of accelerationist politics; 'No Speed Limit' makes the case for an accelerationist aesthetics. Our present moment is illuminated, both for good and for ill, in the cracked mirror of science-fictional futurity.

Who did build the pyramid? Like all things Egyptian, pyramids are a source of endless fascination for young readers. In this non-fiction title, everyone from the mighty king to the lowly water carrier claims to have built this massive monument. And whether you’re asking the high priest or the stonemason, each person has a good reason to claim credit for a real pyramid that was built more than four thousand years ago. Meredith Hooper worked with Egyptologists at the British Museum in London and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to create this story - and fact-filled endnotes provide even more information.

Résumé:
This collection of kids’ bestiaries is a critique of Monster Contemporary Architecture. It is a reinterpretation of contemporary iconic forms and the contemplation of the future states of these masterpieces, or more fittingly, Monsterpieces. Two Harvard architecture graduates challenge their minds un-learning architecture history. They speculate on the future state of post-occupancy of contemporary architectural icons, creating a retrospective of future archeological studies. A response and critique of iconic perFORMance — the current architectural trend in competing for attention — this fiction tells the story of building forms that do follow function. In this book, each eccentric form finds its justification in a speculative function, with surreal and dystopian connotations.
