Résumé:
This definitive history of the barricade charts the origins, development, and diffusion of a uniquely European revolutionary tradition. Mark Traugott traces the barricade from its beginnings in the sixteenth century, to its refinement in the insurrectionary struggles of the long nineteenth century, on through its emergence as an icon of an international culture of revolution. Exploring the most compelling moments of its history, Traugott finds that the barricade is more than a physical structure; it is part of a continuous insurrectionary lineage that features spontaneous collaboration even as it relies on recurrent patterns of self-conscious collective action. A case study in how techniques of protest originate and evolve, The Insurgent Barricade tells how the French perfected a repertoire of revolution over three centuries, and how students, exiles, and itinerant workers helped it spread across Europe.

Résumé:
Dancing Horizon 1970–1982 is a comprehensive collection of the photographic work of Icelandic artist Sigurdur Gudmundsson (born 1942), the "Nordic father of Conceptual photography," focusing on a critical period in his development. In the 1970s Gudmundsson made a famous series of conceptual photographs he called Situations, in which the artist is posed with various props—for example, balancing a wooden slat on his head to make visual contact with the horizon in the background, or digging himself into the grass. Influenced by the informality and unpredictability of international Fluxus, which Gudmundsson encountered in the late 1960s as a member of the progressive Icelandic artists' collective Súm, the Situations are humorous, absurd and lyrical; they have been characterized as "visual poems." More than 80 artworks are reproduced here (many of them rarely exhibited or published), along with previously unpublished studies.

Résumé:
How do designers in research-driven practices differentiate themselves from each other and form distinctive platforms for future practice? The research presented in this second edition and carried out in Australia as part of an Australian Research Council Discovery Program is of significance for design practice, review, and our deeper understanding of the design of space and spaces. In continuing the exploration of spatial intelligence,” this research further develops our understanding of designers, how they work and what they draw on through their lives that shapes their spatial thinking, and their practice. The research also provides broader insights into a more public understanding and acknowledgement of our collective spatial intelligence. It shows how this could be developed and enhanced to provide more spatial and design literacy in our communities, and how these can engage with their changing environments.

Résumé:
Though Expo 67 looms large in our collective memory, it is often remembered nostalgically as a remote historical event. The conditions that made Expo an exceptional cultural moment are often forgotten: remarkable creative freedom was granted to artists, architects, filmmakers, and designers to experiment with technology and new forms, resulting in an incredible diversity of cultural production. Originating with the Musée d'art contemporain's 2017 exhibition, In Search of Expo 67 brings together original work from nineteen artists and new critical essays to explore the connections between archives and memory. Organized thematically, artists' words and works are put into dialogue with archival imagery that reconstructs key aspects of the original event. Brilliantly illustrated with original artworks and archival documents and images, In Search of Expo 67 revitalizes this utopian moment in Montreal's history as a site of unexpected tensions and immense creativity.

Résumé:
This book highlights the change-making capacity of culture by exploring the intellectual and practical interventions of "courageous citizens." These citizens can be thinkers, artists, activists and collectives—those whose thoughts, ideas and actions play a pivotal role in the struggle for just societies. It is these change-makers who, through their everyday actions, work toward a collective future and complex societal reconfigurations. Looking back at the past decade, this book identifies three themes which have been, and continue to be, relevant to social change: identity and diversity; culture, communities and democracies; and solidarity and fragmentation. It shows how courageous citizens have activated the cycles of thinking and rethinking, doing and changing, which have altered the way we view the world. Combining theoretical perspectives with case studies, this book aims to demonstrate the potential of culture to generate positive social change.

Résumé:
Dans cet essai rédigé au lendemain des attentats du 11 Septembre, Susan Sontag pose un regard neuf sur les emplois de la photographie devant les souffrances de la guerre. Près de quatre décennies après Sur la photographie, elle dessille une fois de plus les yeux de ses contemporains en s’interrogeant sur nos façons de voir et de représenter le monde. Les images « chocs », omniprésentes, nous rapprochent-elles ou nous éloignent-elles de la réalité ? Nous aident-elles à comprendre les souffrances d’autrui, ou érigent-elles au contraire, entre notre oeil et ce qu’il voit, un mur d’indifférence ? Susan Sontag retrace l’évolution de la sensibilité collective face aux visions d’horreur auxquelles l’humanité ne cesse de se confronter, des tableaux de Goya aux charniers du Rwanda ou de Sarajevo en passant par les photographies de la guerre de Sécession, des tranchées de Verdun et des camps de la mort.

Résumé:
Au large de l’Écosse, en mer du Nord, à la croisée de plusieurs routes maritimes, se trouve un récif meurtrier, où les navires s’abîment par dizaines. En 1807, un homme décide de mettre fin à cette malédiction. Ingénieur pour la Compagnie des Phares du Nord, Robert Stevenson se lance dans une entreprise périlleuse : ériger un phare sur un récif immergé vingt heures par jour. Trois années durant, dans des conditions chaotiques, il coordonne le chantier de Bell Rock. Animés par la volonté de rendre la mer plus sûre, ses hommes et lui luttent contre vents et marées pour mener à bien ce projet ambitieux. En racontant l’histoire de sa famille et en publiant les carnets de son grand-père, Robert Louis Stevenson rend non seulement hommage à la dynastie de pionniers et de bâtisseurs dont il est issu, mais il révèle aussi au public une formidable aventure collective.
