Résumé:
In The Right to Look, Nicholas Mirzoeff develops a comparative decolonial framework for visual culture studies, the field that he helped to create and shape. Casting modernity as an ongoing contest between visuality and countervisuality, or "the right to look," he explains how visuality sutures authority to power and renders the association natural.

Résumé:
In The Right to Look, Nicholas Mirzoeff develops a comparative decolonial framework for visual culture studies, the field that he helped to create and shape. Casting modernity as an ongoing contest between visuality and countervisuality, or "the right to look," he explains how visuality sutures authority to power and renders the association natural. An early-nineteenth-century concept, meaning the visualization of history, visuality has been central to the legitimization of Western hegemony. Mirzoeff identifies three "complexes of visuality"--plantation slavery, imperialism, and the present-day military-industrial complex--and explains how, within each, power is made to seem self-evident through techniques of classification, separation, and aestheticization. This publication is a work of geographic, temporal, and conceptual reach.

In forty brief chapters, Nigel Warburton guides us on a chronological tour of the major ideas in the history of philosophy.

The focus of this work is on the concept of research as it is understood in art, taking into particular account research into art, research through art, and research in art. In the process, it also defines the task art universities are charged with when asked to develop the arts and make them accessible.

Résumé:
La découverte scientifique et la maîtrise de l'électricité ont bouleversé notre société au même titre que l'invention de l'écriture alphabétique durant l'Antiquité et de l'imprimerie à caractères mobiles au XVe siècle. Il ne s'agit pas seulement d'un phénomène naturel mis au service de l'homme par la science, mais d'un élément central de l'épistémè moderne : l'électricité a inspiré des écrivains et des artistes, a servi de force d'impulsion au monde de l'industrie et de l'innovation et a redéfini les comportements sociaux. En explorant l'incidence de l'électricité sur le savoir, les pratiques sociales, les médias, la vie sociale et les expériences personnelles, cet ouvrage tente d'en saisir les aspects techniques et culturels dans toute leur complexité. -- The scientific discovery and mastery of electricity created as many important changes in modern society as did the invention of alphabetical writing in antiquity and movable type in the fifteenth century. It is more than a natural phenomenon that science has harnessed for human use; it is a central feature of the modern episteme. It has inspired writers and artists, propelled industry and innovation, and reshaped human social behaviour. Looking at a variety of topics including film, politics, and contemporary art, this volume explores the impact of electricity on knowledge, social practices, media, community life, and subjective experience.

Résumé:
Une plongée dans un Paris interlope, populaire et englouti, par un clochard, compagnon de Doisneau et d’autres piliers du Paris poétique. Dans les années 50, Jean-Paul Clébert fit de ses errances dans Paris des voyages épiques et sensibles. « La traversée de Paris est plus lente que celle d’un département », prévient-il à son entrée dans la ville. D’ailleurs, il lui faut quatre mois pour aller d’un bout à l’autre du quatrième arrondissement... Clébert ne suit pas d’itinéraire, comme le ferait un guide, mais nous promène au hasard de ses besoins (dormir... manger... faire l’amour), de ses envies, de ses rencontres et de ses mille petits boulots : métreur, assureur, peintre, vendeur de L’Intran... Il apprend à connaître Paris par « les mains, les narines et les fesses ». C’est la ville envisagée d’un point de vue très pratique : celui d’un clochard qui vit avec moins que rien. Et qui traduit ça dans une écriture à couper le souffle : longues phrases rythmées ; portraits croqués à traits vifs ; charge poétique brutale. Ce roman-chronique est paru une première fois en 1952. Et cet éloge de la Cloche à Paris, l’auteur ne l’a pas offert au musée de l’Homme, comme il en avait caressé le désir, mais à Denoël, à l’époque éditeur de Calaferte, de Giraud, de Cendrars, de Malaparte... Un an après la sortie du livre, l’auteur est retourné sur ces lieux en compagnie d’un photographe, Patrice Molinard, qui en a ramené 115 documents bruts et beaux. Ce sont ces photos - d’un Doisneau sans pathos - qui illustrent la présente édition.
