Résumé:
For the past thirty years, Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama has undertaken a photographic examination of the life of cities and the built environment. Each of his series focuses on a different facet of the growth and transformation of the urban landscape—from studies of architectural maquettes to the extraction and use of natural materials such as limestone, as it is quarried via explosive blasts and subsequently incorporated into the construction of new buildings.These photographs hauntingly embody the death and rebirth of the city, manifesting a deeply personal connection to the ongoing intersection of geology, architecture, and time.

Résumé:
"Speaking memory" evokes the complex "language-scapes" that form at the crossroads of culture and history in cities. While engaging with current debates on the nature and role of translation in globalized urban landscapes, the contributors offer a series of detailed and nuanced readings of “translational” cities - their histories, their construction and transformation in memory, and the artistic projects that tell their stories. Defining cities as fields of translational forces where languages are both in conversation and in tension, translation in "Speaking memory" is stretched beyond its usual confines, encompassing literary, artistic, and cultural practices that permeate everyday contemporary life.

Résumé:
Acting Out is the first appearance in English of two short books published by Bernard Stiegler in 2003. In How I Became a Philosopher, he outlines his transformation during a five-year period of incarceration for armed robbery. Isolated from what had been his world, Stiegler began to conduct a kind of experiment in phenomenological research. Inspired by the Greek stoic Epictetus, Stiegler began to read, write, and discover his vocation, eventually studying philosophy in correspondence with Gérard Granel who was an important influence on a number of French philosophers, including Jacques Derrida, who was later Stiegler's teacher.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage tente de comprendre à travers l'histoire des bibliothèques municipales dans les villes de plus de 100 000 habitants les facteurs qui sont à l'origine de leur développement et de leur transformation architecturale. Il vise notamment à mettre en perspective l'impulsion de l'État et l'action des élus locaux en faveur des bibliothèques, dans une dimension urbaine, architecturale et symbolique. À la fois essai sur les politiques conduites par les pouvoirs publics, sur le livre et ses lecteurs, et histoire architecturale des biliothèques, cet ouvrage constitue une nouvelle approche d'un demi-siècle d'équipements culturels en France.

En revanche, et sans aucune certitude, nous pouvons proposer, de manière désenchantée, des « scénarios » comme autant de lignes possibles de raisonnement.

In retracing the Viaggio photographic archive in Italy, a collection of 220 photographs from a 1984 project organised by pioneering contemporary photographer Luigi Ghirri, Nicola Nunziata presents a multi-layered book that considers the notion of landscape. Rereading the original images in terms of individual and shared experience, memory, and aesthetics, he investigates their substance formats, materials, surface textures, colours, marks and traces, signatures of the authors in order to divulge the singular details that express the history they hold, and thereby reflect upon the sense of transformation on a global scale in the period when they came into being.

Résumé:
With the help of the neologism ''resortization,'' this issue discusses the structural transformation currently underway in the domain of art, which compels it to resemble a resort-like environment. In particular, this term encapsulates the tendency of various Blue-Chip Galleries to follow their well-to-do clientele into the reclusion of exclusive luxury enclaves such as Aspen, Saint-Tropez or Monte-Carlo. The issue also engages with the increasing relevance of digital media, which not only plays a growing part in informing processes of recognition but fundamentally influences the conditions under which artistic work is made and experienced.

These include the American desert as a privileged site of scientific and artistic testing; the faraway projects of electrification of the Canadian North; the transformation of the notion and perception of waste and wasteland during the twentieth century; the photographic medium and its encounters with Native Americans; as well as an introductory essay, 'The Map and the Territory', written specifically for this volume.
