Mort il y a exactement un siècle, Paul Scheerbart (1863-1915) est indubitablement un écrivain allemand original – et pourtant à la confluence de nombreux courants littéraires et artistiques, mais aussi techniques et architecturaux.

Auteur de Architecture de verre considéré comme un « manifeste » expressionniste (publié en 1914 chez Der Sturm Verlag), cet exote touche-à-tout est aussi un homme de son temps, fort d'une éducation éclectique et d'une culture loufoque. À travers l'amitié de Bruno Taut (1880-1938) et sous le regard postmortem de Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), son art verrier le conduira dans le maelström kaléidoscopique du déclin du Jugendstil puis de l'essor du Werkbund – et ce jusqu'à l'orée du premier conflit mondial.

Depuis Dada jusqu'aux développements qu'il donne au mouvement après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, période la plus méconnue de son oeuvre mais non la moins fertile, Raoul Hausmann démontre sans relâche que, résolument, «l'homme nouveau doit avoir le courage d'être nouveau». A partir d'archives inédites, cet ouvrage fait dialoguer Hausmann avec ses contemporains, Jean Arp, Tristan Tzara, Cari Einstein, Otto Gross, Leo Frobenius, ou encore Walter Benjamin, qui se trouvait à Ibiza au même moment que lui.

Résumé:
Taking a radical position counter to many previous histories and theories of the interior, domesticity and the home, "The emergence of the interior" considers how the concept and experience of the domestic interior have been formed from the beginning of the nineteenth century. It considers the interior's emergence in relation to the thinking of Walter Benjamin and Sigmund Freud, and, through case studies, in architecture's trajectories toward modernism. The book argues that the interior emerged with a sense of 'doubleness', being understood and experienced as both a spatial and an image-based condition. Incorporating perspectives from architecture, critical history and theory, and psychoanalysis, "The emergence of the interior" will be of interest to academics and students of the history and theory of architecture and design, social history, and cultural studies.

On Aira's path, everything comes under question - from reproducibility of artworks to the value of the written word itself. In the end, Aira leaves us stranded on the bridge between writing and art that he set out to construct in the first place. Like the great writers Walter Benjamin and Hermann Broch before him, Aira operates in the space between fiction and essay writing, art and analysis. Pursuing questions about reproducibility, art making, and limits of language, Aira's unique voice adds new insights to the essential conversations that continue to inform our understanding of art.

Résumé:
In ''Building and dwelling,'' Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them. The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett's many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn't, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities' problems.

Résumé:
In the first decades of the twentieth century, Marseille was a booming Mediterranean port. Positioned at the very edge of France, the city functioned as a critical fulcrum between the metropolitan center and its overseas empire. A notoriously dangerous and cosmopolitan city, Marseille became the focus of the extraordinary energies of some of the most remarkable architects and theorists of urban modernity. Drawing together architects, photographers, and cultural theorists, including Le Corbusier, Sigfried Giedion, Walter Benjamin, and László Moholy-Nagy, Mediterranean Crossroads examines how mythic ideas about Marseille helped to shape its urban landscape. Tracing successive planning proposals in tandem with shifting representations of the city in photographs, film, guidebooks, and postcards, Sheila Crane reconstructs the history and politics of architecture in Marseille from the 1920s through the years of rebuilding after World War II.

Résumé:
Life in the digital economy of information and images enriches us but often induces a sense of being overwhelmed. ''Sensing the Future: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts'' considers the impact of technology by exploring ways it was addressed in the practice of the Hungarian polymath artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), a prominent professor at the Bauhaus and a key figure in the history of Modernism. Moholy-Nagy felt that people needed guidance to cope with the onslaught of sensory input in an increasingly technologized, mediatized, hyper-stimulating environment. His ideas informed media theorists such as Walter Benjamin, John Cage, Sigfried Giedion, and Marshall McLuhan, who anticipated digital culture as it emerged. Should we then regard Moholy-Nagy as a pioneer of the digital? His aesthetic engagement with the technology/body problematic broached the notions of immersion, interactivity and bodily participation, innately offering a critique of today’s disembodiment.

Les protagonistes de cette « histoire anonyme » sont des machines à pain, des moissonneuses-batteuses, des tapis roulants et des fauteuils de barbier. En s'intéressant ainsi moins à ses créateurs illustres qu'aux processus de standardisation et de mécanisation, Giedion prouve que la modernité est autant une affaire de singularité que de numéro de série. Référence incontournable pour l'histoire des techniques, la sociologie du quotidien, la théorie du design et l'étude des médias, « La mécanisation au pouvoir » est de ces livres dont on n'a toujours pas assimilé toutes les fulgurances. Epuisée depuis longtemps, cette édition nouvelle restitue enfin toute l'importance du montage visuel qui fascina tant de lecteurs de Giedion, de Walter Benjamin à Marshall McLuhan. Avec une préface d'Emmanuel Alloa et une postface d'Emanuele Quinz.
