Résumé:
'There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism', is the orthodoxy of the twenty-first century. All too often, ordinary people across the world are being told that the problem of organization is already solved, or that it is being solved somewhere else, or that it need not concern them because they have no choices. This dictionary provides those who disagree with the evidence. Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could be expressed as fictional utopias, they could be excavated from the past, or they could be described in terms of the contemporary politics of anti-corporate protest, environmentalism, feminism and localism. Part reference work, part source book, and part polemic, this dictionary provides a rich understanding of the ways in which fiction, history and today's politics provide different ways of thinking about how we can and should organize for the coming century. Martin Parker is Professor of Organisation and Culture in the Management Centre at the University of Leicester. Valérie Fournier is Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies in the Management Centre at the University of Leicester. Patrick Reedy lectures in organizational behaviour and human resource management at the Business School of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Résumé:
Tim Edensor highlights the danger of eradicating the evocative urban sites of industrial ruins through policies that privilege homogeneous new developments. It is precisely their fragmentary nature and lack of fixed meaning that render ruins deeply meaningful.

Résumé:
Catalogue. Basle 2008/09. Introduction by Kai Vöckler. This is the first of a series of investigations of urban development in post-conflict areas, initiated by Archis Interventions. After NATO-led KFOR troops ended civil war in Kosovo (1999), an instant building boom changed the capital Prishtina dramatically. Within a few years its population doubled, partly as a consequence of an influx of returning refugees. This book describes, maps and analyzes the situation in Prishtina after 1999, documents problem-solving strategies, and discusses the significance of this kind of urban development for the way urban life evolves in crisis zones. The title hints at two phenomena: firstly, urban development of this type is typical for many post-conflict situations, and secondly, most of the construction in Prishtina has been financed by remittances from family members working abroad (one-fifth of Kosovo’s entire population lives abroad, specifically in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria).

Résumé:
"On knowledge production : a critical reader in contemporary art" presents a selection of newly commissioned and anthologized texts by a diverse group of artists, art historians, philosophers, and theorists who have engaged with thinking critically about the field of art as a site for the production of knowledge. The body of contributions in this reader comprise a series of critical inquiries, thought experiments, documents of practices, and tentative propositions about the status of producing knowledge in contemporary art, which vary widely in perspective, approach, and form. This selection unfolds different entry points and layers, unwrapping the (often) uncritically adopted notion of "art producing knowledge" and casting diverse views on the context, meaning, and potential of this understanding of art practices today.

Résumé:
Du président de la République au maire de Paris en passant par le président de la région Île-de-France, voilà trois strates du pouvoir, celui de l'État, des collectivités territoriales et de la municipalité parisienne qui, armées d'un nouveau secrétaire d'État, se portent au chevet de la capitale française pour décider de son avenir, cinquante ans après la mission Delouvrier. Mais plus que d'un nouvel Haussmann autoritaire, plus que d'effets d'annonce, de luttes politiciennes ou de mirifiques et prestigieux projets, le Grand-Paris a besoin de se forger une identité et un destin communs. Pour servir cette ambition, il convient d'expliquer et d'analyser les aspects de cette métropole, c'est précisément la tâche à laquelle ce livre s'assigne. Il traite de la forme de la ville en essayant de fournir des outils comme des repères pour décrire l'agglomération parisienne et imaginer son avenir au XXIe siècle au sein des grandes métropoles mondiales. Le débat sur Paris et son agglomération est essentiel : quelle ville et pour qui ? Par quelles modalités associer les citoyens aux décisions qui les concernent ? Comment faire participer les acteurs économiques aux stratégies d'aménagement qui fixent le cadre du développement ? Cette discussion se nourrit des espoirs, des inquiétudes et des prises de conscience, certaines récentes, sur l'environnement et la préservation des ressources, sur la densité et l'économie des sols, sur les modes de transport et le développement économique, sur le logement et l'emploi. Philippe Panerai est architecte et urbaniste. Son activité professionnelle, façonnée par la pratique de l'enseignement et de la recherche, se déploie selon trois grands champs : le grand territoire, la forme de la ville et l'intégration des grandes infrastructures, les mutations du tissu urbain, notamment celles des grands ensembles de logements sociaux.
