Résumé:
Moving effortlessly between symbolist poetry and Barbie dolls, artificial intelligence and Kleist, Kant, and Winnicott, Barbara Johnson not only clarifies psychological and social dynamics; she also re-dramatizes the work of important tropes—without ever losing sight of the ethical imperative with which she begins: the need to treat persons as persons. In "Persons and Things", Johnson turns deconstruction around to make a fundamental contribution to the new aesthetics. She begins with the most elementary thing we know : deconstruction calls attention to gaps and reveals that their claims upon us are fraudulent. Johnson revolutionizes the method by showing that the inanimate thing exposed as a delusion is central to fantasy life, that fantasy life, however deluded, should be taken seriously, and that although a work of art “is formed around something missing,” this “void is its vanishing point, not its essence.” She shows deftly and delicately that the void inside Keats’s urn, Heidegger’s jug, or Wallace Stevens’s jar forms the center around which we tend to organize our worlds. The new aesthetics should restore fluidities between persons and things. In pursuing it, Johnson calls upon Ovid, Keats, Poe, Plath, and others who have inhabited this in-between space. The entire process operates via a subtlety that only a critic of Johnson’s caliber could reveal to us.

Résumé:
When we look at trees, we see a form of natural architecture, and yet we have seemingly always exploited trees to make new buildings of our own. Whereas a tree creates its own structure, humans generally destroy other things to build, with increasingly disastrous consequences. In "Botanical architecture", Paul Dobraszczyk looks closely at how elements of plants—seeds, roots, trunks, branches, leaves, flowers, and canopies—compare with and constitute human-made buildings. Given the omnipresence of plant life in and around our structures, Dobraszczyk argues that we ought to build as much for plants as for ourselves, understanding that our lives are always totally dependent on theirs. "Botanical architecture" offers a provocative and original take on the relationship between ecology and architecture.

Résumé:
"Things as they are" presents the story of photojournalism over fifty years, from 1955 until today. It takes us from the golden era of the illustrated press—the heyday of Life magazine and Picture Post, and the moment of the Museum of Modern Art’s defining Family of Man exhibition—to the explosion of digital media in the twenty-first century. This history is told through the presentation of 125 photojournalism features shot and published throughout the world. These stories are presented in context—shown on the pages of newspapers and magazines, as the public originally experienced them. In this way, "Things as they are" reveals how the events of the world, the art of photographers, and the interests of publishers and the press converged on the printed page. It traces how photojournalism has developed over time alongside changing technology, media, fashions in photography—and a changing world. It includes photo-essays by photographers such as W. Eugene Smith, Sebastião Salgado, Mary Ellen Mark, and James Nachtwey, each accompanied by commentary. An international panel of one hundred photographers, editors, art directors, historians, and magazine collectors has made the final selections for the book. They have chosen stories that exemplify the highest quality of work published around the world during each period as well as stories that have played a key role in shaping the history of photojournalism itself, demonstrating important innovations in photography and in publishing. The book includes a preface by Michiel Munneke, director of World Press Photo; a foreword by Christian Caujolle, curator and founder of Agence Vu Press; an introduction by Mary Panzer that considers the past, present, and future of photojournalism; and a timeline of the period illustrated with iconic winners of the annual World Press Photo awards.
