Résumé:
Le décret du 5 prairial an XII (25 mai 1804) érigeait la bourgade de La Roche-sur-Yon en chef-lieu du département de la Vendée et engageait la planification d'une nouvelle ville par les ingénieurs des ponts et chaussées. Réuni lors de la célébration du bicentenaire par la municipalité de La Roche-surYon, un colloque qui élargissait la réflexion autour de cette ville singulière fut l'occasion de ramener l'attention vers les villes du début du X1Xe siècle. L'organisation scientifique du colloque a été assurée par le laboratoire LAUA de l'école nationale supérieure d'architecture de Nantes. L'intitulé retenu, «Autour de la ville de Napoléon», a une double portée : tout d'abord un retour sur la ville nommée Napoléon, La Roche-sur-Yon, qui reçoit ce nom en 1805. Ce titre renvoie aussi à une réflexion sur la ville de la période impériale, soit en France, soit dans des territoires d'influence française. Il élargit le débat, alentour, en termes spatiaux ou en termes temporels, pour interroger des cas exemplaires de «villes d'autorité» dans d'autres contextes, ou pour suivre le devenir et l'actualité de ce type de villes. La figure planifiée et tramée de La Roche-sur-Yon, ville administrative fondée par décret dans le cadre des mesures de pacification des départements de l'Ouest de la France à l'issue de la Révolution, et dans celui plus vaste de la réorganisation territoriale de l'Empire, sert de point d'appui à l'examen du rapport entre les questions politico-administratives et la configuration spatiale des villes fondées, étendues ou transformées par acte d'autorité, notamment au début du XIXe siècle, en France, en Europe ou en Amérique. Elle permet d'aborder le vécu et le devenir de ces villes, questionnant leur réception et leur appropriation, entre méconnaissance et patrimonialisation.

Résumé:
In "Havana beyond the Ruins," prominent architects, scholars, and writers based in and outside of Cuba analyze how Havana has been portrayed in literature, music, and the visual arts since Soviet subsidies of Cuba ceased, and the Cuban state has re-imagined Havana as a destination for international tourists and business ventures. Cuba's capital has experienced little construction since the revolution of 1959; many of its citizens live in poorly maintained colonial and modernist dwellings. It is this Havana--of crumbling houses, old cars, and a romantic aura of ruined hopes--that is marketed in picture books, memorabilia, and films. Bringing together assessments of the city's dwellings and urban development projects, "Havana beyond the Ruins" provides unique insights into issues of memory, citizenship, urban life, and the future of the revolution in Cuba.

Résumé:
In this sweeping portrait of the political culture of the early People's Republic of China (PRC), Chang-tai Hung mines newly available sources to vividly reconstruct how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tightened its rule after taking power in 1949. With political-cultural projects such as reconstructing Tiananmen Square to celebrate the Communist Revolution; staging national parades; rewriting official histories; mounting a visual propaganda campaign, including oil paintings, cartoons, and New Year prints; and establishing a national cemetery for heroes of the Revolution, the CCP built up nationalistic fervor in the people and affirmed its legitimacy. These projects came under strong Soviet influence, but the nationalistic Chinese Communists sought an independent road of nation building; for example, they decided that the reconstructed Tiananmen Square should surpass Red Square in size and significance, against the advice of Soviet experts sent from Moscow.

Résumé:
This historical survey focuses on female artists who were either working with computer technologies or taking up the subject of computing and cybernetics in their work in the early years of the computer revolution. It documents a lesser-known history of the inception of digital art, countering conventional narratives by focusing entirely on female figures. Comprising more than 100 works by 50 artists from 14 countries, it spans a period from the first years of integrated circuit computing in the 1960s to the "microcomputer revolution," which led to the birth of home computing in the 1980s. This extensive publication includes three new essays by Tina Rivers Ryan, Margit Rosen and the exhibition's curator, Michelle Cotton. It also features a richly illustrated timeline covering the period between 1613 and 1991 and includes 27 new interviews with artists and over 200 illustrations.

Résumé:
This definitive history of the barricade charts the origins, development, and diffusion of a uniquely European revolutionary tradition. Mark Traugott traces the barricade from its beginnings in the sixteenth century, to its refinement in the insurrectionary struggles of the long nineteenth century, on through its emergence as an icon of an international culture of revolution. Exploring the most compelling moments of its history, Traugott finds that the barricade is more than a physical structure; it is part of a continuous insurrectionary lineage that features spontaneous collaboration even as it relies on recurrent patterns of self-conscious collective action. A case study in how techniques of protest originate and evolve, The Insurgent Barricade tells how the French perfected a repertoire of revolution over three centuries, and how students, exiles, and itinerant workers helped it spread across Europe.
