Résumé:
Between 1917 and 1945, a tide of hyperindustrialization washed over the United States and the Soviet Union. While the two countries remained ideologically opposed, the factories that amassed in Stalingrad, Moscow, Detroit, Buffalo, and Cleveland were strikingly similar, as were the new forms of modern work and urban and infrastructural development that supported this industrialization. Drawing on previously unknown archival materials and photographs, the essays in ''Detroit-Moscow-Detroit'' document a stunning two-way transfer of technical knowledge between the United States and the USSR that greatly influenced the built environment in both countries, upgrading each to major industrial power by the start of the Second World War. The innovative research presented here explores spatial development, manufacturing, mass production, and organizational planning across geopolitical lines to demonstrate that capitalist and communist built environments in the twentieth century were not diametrically opposed and were, on certain sites, coproduced in a period of intense technical exchange between the two world wars. A fresh account of the effects of industrialization and globalization on US and Soviet cultures, architecture, and urban history, ''Detroit-Moscow-Detroit'' will find wide readership among architects, urban designers, and scholars of architectural, urban, and twentieth-century history.

Résumé:
À la mort de Lénine en 1924, les mouvements de l'avant-garde architecturale, dont le constructivisme, vibrent à l'unisson de la Révolution de 1917. Depuis 1921, ils apportent leur écot à la Nouvelle Politique Économique, au Plan d'électrification de l'URSS et essayent de définir une « esthétique communiste » au service du prolétaire et de la kolkhozienne. L'Union Soviétique, l'Allemagne et les États-Unis forment alors la troïka de l'Internationale moderniste. Le premier plan quinquennal est lancé en 1928. Villes nouvelles et chantiers industriels tournent à plein régime. Davantage préoccupé par ces grands chantiers, Staline semble se désintéresser de l'enjeu architectural. Pourtant, à partir du concours pour le Palais des Soviets (1932) et de l'adoption du Plan Général de reconstruction de Moscou (1935), la Rome éternelle va devenir, au prix d'un face-à-face avec l'Italie fasciste, un « modèle » de réalisme socialiste inattendu...

Résumé:
Situating El Lissitzky reassesses the complex career of one of the most influential yet controversial experimental artists of the early twentieth century. A prolific painter, designer, architect, and photographer, El Lissitzky (1890-1941) worked with the Soviet and the European artistic avant-gardes in the 1920s and as a propagandist for the Stalinist regime in the following decade. Taking readers into the thick of current debates about Lissitzky's artistic personae, Situating El Lissitzky reconstructs aspects of his elusive identity across different periods, places, and media. Following an introduction in which Nancy Perloff distills and draws together the volume's eight essays, Christina Lodder, Éva Forgács, and Maria Gough offer revisionist accounts of Lissitzky's years as an international constructivist and exhibition designer in Europe. John E. Bowlt then investigates the role of handicraft and the symbol of the hand in Lissitzky's artistic production, and Leah Dickerman and Margarita Tupitsyn elucidate the interplay between physicality and opticality at different stages in Lissitzky's development as a photographer. Finally, T. J. Clark and Peter Nisbet address the disconcerting balance of aesthetic value and political expediency in Lissitzky's overtly Communist art. The result is a kaleidoscopic portrait of Lissitzky as Bolshevik visionary, craftsman, modernist, internationalist, and Soviet propagandist.
