Résumé:
At the dawn of the era of global trade, an extraordinary range of illustrated books, prints, and maps not only afforded Europeans glimpses of imperial China's cultural and material riches but also brought Western science, religion, and art to Chinese scholars and emperors. Produced in an atmosphere of mutual curiosity and collaboration, these works proposed China and Europe as similarly distant and exotic civilizations with parallel histories and at least some values in common. China on paper opens a window on these vibrant and largely unexamined exchanges whereby the denizens of two vast regions created visions of themselves and each other in a newly expanded world.

Résumé:
�This book is based on my experiences as secretary of the interior up to the time I left office with the coming of a new administration in 2001. It makes the case, through the use of specific examples, for a more assertive and meaningful federal role in land use planning. And the book illustrates how that goal can be achieved, not by a lot of new legislation, but by reshaping existing federal programs that affect the way we use and develop our land and water resources- highway programs, farm programs, flood control, energy development, and urban programs to provide incentives for states to prepare land use and water resource plans that include open space, hazard mitigation, sustainable water supplies, and interconnected landscapes that sustain both wildlife and the human spirit.

Résumé:
Et si la perspective moderne n'existait pas? Ne faut-il nuancer la thèse massivement admise qu'au Quattrocento, un dispositif unitaire de représentation se mettrait en place dans la peinture, dont la fonction demeurerait inchangée jusqu'à l'âge classique? En relisant les textes d'Alberti, de Piero della Francesca, de Léonard de Vinci et d'Albert Dürer, en regardant autrement les peintures de la Renaissance, des fresques d'Azzero ou dela Cène de Milan, ce livre met en effet en évidence des dispositifs singuliers, liés pour chaque peintre à des régimes différents de la représentation, du visible, de la vision et du regard. Pourtant, au XVIIe siècle, le discours sur la perspective est soudain convoqué par la philosophie, pour éclairer le nouveau partage entre la représentation du sujet pensant et une matière désormais géométrisable. À quelles conditions, improbables et contingentes, la perspective a-t-elle pu tenir cette place à la fois décisive et ambiguë dans l'émergence de l'âme classique? Par quelles transformations, de la surface de la peinture et de laplace du spectateur, a-t-elle dû passer pour rendre possible la clôture de l'image sur la représentation classique? À l'histoire d'une forme symbolique, ce livre substitue le récit désormais éclaté d'une archéologie ou d'une généalogie de la modernité.

Résumé:
Poets often have responded vitally to the art of their time, and ever since Susan Stewart began writing about art in the early 1980s, her work has resonated with practicing artists, curators, art historians, and art critics. Rooted in a broad and learned range of references, Stewart's fresh and independent essays bridge the fields of literature, aesthetics, and contemporary art. Gathering most of Stewart's writing on contemporary art—long and short pieces first published in small magazines, museum and gallery publications, and edited collections—The Open Studio illuminates work ranging from the installation art of Ann Hamilton to the sculptures and watercolors of Thomas Schütte, the prints and animations of William Kentridge to the films of Tacita Dean. Stewart's essays are often the record of studio conversations with living artists and curators, and of the afterlife of those experiences in the solitude of her own study. Considering a wide variety of art forms, Stewart finds pathbreaking ways to explore them. Whether she is following central traditions of painting, drawing, sculpture, film, photography, and printmaking or exploring the less well-known realms of portrait miniatures, collecting practices, doll-making, music boxes, and gardening, Stewart speaks to the creative process in general and to the relation between art and ethics. The Open Studio will be read eagerly by scholars of art, poetry, and visual theory; by historians interested in the links between contemporary and classic literature and art; and by teachers, students, and practitioners of the visual arts.

Résumé:
Today's urban riverfronts are changing. The decline of river commerce and riverside industry has made riverfront land once used for warehouses, factories, and loading docks available for open space, parks, housing, and nonindustrial uses. Urban rivers, which once functioned as open sewers for cities, are now seen as part of larger watershed ecosystems. Rivertown examines urban river restoration efforts across the United States, presenting case studies from Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Portland, Oregon; Chicago; Salt Lake City; and San Jose. It also analyzes the roles of the federal government (in particular, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and citizen activism in urban river politics. A postscript places New Orleans's experience with Hurricane Katrina in the broader context of the national riverside land-use debate. Each case study in Rivertown considers the critical questions of who makes decisions about our urban rivers, who pays to implement these decisions, and who ultimately benefits or suffers from these decisions. In Los Angeles, for example, local nonprofit and academic research groups played crucial roles, whereas Chicago relied on a series of engineering interventions. In each case, authors evaluate the ecological issues and consider urban river restoration projects in relation to other urban economic and environmental initiatives in the region. Rivertown is a valuable resource for urban planners and citizen groups as well as for scholars.

Résumé:
On lit dans cet ouvrage comment le projet d'espace donne du sens, mais aussi prend du sens à l'être, même en son absence. Toute sémiotique s'inscrit dans l'espace, de proche en proche, puis un peu plus loin, jusqu'à l'absence. Et c'est bien la force de l'espace architectural, force formelle qui s'oppose aux forces matérielles d'attraction et de répulsion, que de donner sens en articulant présence et absence. Établissant une continuité entre la chose sensible et l'idée que l'on en a. l'espace architectural est relation autant qu'intervalle, connexion autant qu'intercalation, conjonction autant que disjonction. Il faut le franchir, mais on peut le parcourir. Vide, panoptique, il donne à voir; peuplé de corps divers, labyrinthique, il donne à chercher. L'espace architectural est ainsi un mode d'organisation de l'être au monde.
