Résumé:
Various things related to traditional Japanese architecture and everyday life are the focus of this illustrated guide. Interestingly, it is intended not only for English readers but also Japanese people who would like to be able to better explain certain things to people from outside their country. A huge number of items, objects, materials, structures, decorative elements, and so on that one encounters while visiting or living in Japan, but might be too obscure or specific to remember the names, or to even imagine from the term, are included in an accessible and very informative format. For each, the Japanese name, English name, and pronunciation are accompanied by an explanation.

This 56th issue is the first one we are publishing in English, French, and now Spanish. Its title, ''Bulldozer Politics'', is a reference to a small book written by Léopold Lambert in 2016 about the systematic use of the bulldozer by the Israeli state to destroy Palestinian homes since 1948. This issue revisits this book, translates some of its main parts, and put its argument about the precise political order of “ruination” in dialogue with other geographical contexts, namely India (Shivangi Mariam Raj), Colombia and Brazil (Jaime Amparo Alves and Stella Zagatto Paterniani), the US (Francesca Russello Ammon), France (Hajer Ben Boubaker), Egypt (Omnia Khalil and Azza Ezzat), and Cambodia (Kavich Neang).

Résumé:
Comprendre un chef-d'oeuvre architectural : depuis la parution de l'ouvrage de référence de Simone Balayé, l'évolution de cette parcelle délimitée par les rues de Richelieu, Colbert, Vivienne et des Petits-Champs, le "quadrilatère Richelieu", n'avait pas fait l'objet d'une analyse approfondie. La rénovation du site historique de la Bibliothèque nationale, engagée depuis plusieurs années, a entraîné le classement et la numérisation du fonds de l'Agence des travaux et suscité de nouvelles études sur cet ensemble historique complexe, marqué par la construction par Mazarin d'un palais pour ses collections, l'installation progressive de la Bibliothèque royale à partir de 1721, la transformation du site par Henri Labrouste, son achèvement par Jean-Louis Pascal puis Alfred Recoura, et enfin la densification opérée par Michel Roux-Spitz. Accéder au patrimoine de la Nation : à l'occasion de la réouverture fin 2016 de la salle Labrouste, salle de lecture historique de la Bibliothèque nationale, magnifiquement rénovée, il était nécessaire de proposer la synthèse des recherches récentes, en mettant en regard le geste architectural avec les enjeux bibliothéconomiques. La parole est donnée aux responsables des trois institutions qui occuperont le site (BNF, INHA et Ecole des chartes) ainsi qu'aux architectes du projet de rénovation, qui prévoit une plus grande ouverture du site au public. Retrouver l'esprit des lieux : 200 images constitueront une chronique visuelle et habitée du Quadrilatère et proposeront de nouveaux outils de compréhension (plans de reconstitution, schémas d'implantation, 3D). Des annexes (description des sources, bibliographie, chronologie, nomenclature des lieux, index) complèteront cet ouvrage, publié en coédition avec l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art.

Résumé:
'Louise Bourgeois: The Return of the Repressed' highlights the enduring presence of psychoanalysis as a motivational force and a site of exploration in the artist’s life and work. Selected and edited by Philip Larratt-Smith (Bourgeois’ literary archivist), and contextualized with eight extensive scholarly essays, this collection of approximately 80 previously unpublished writings spans some six decades of the artist’s production. The second volume in this slipcased set is an up-to-date Bourgeois monograph that details works made right up until the artist’s death in 2010. Together, the two volumes comprise a complete portrait of the life, work and thought of this seminal figure.

Résumé:
Stephen Shore’s "Uncommon Places" is indisputably a canonic body of work—a touchstone for those interested in photography and the American landscape. Remarkably, despite having been the focus of numerous shows and books, including the eponymous 1982 Aperture classic (expanded and reissued several times), this series of photographs has yet to be explored in its entirety. Over the past five years, Shore has scanned hundreds of negatives shot between 1973 and 1981. In this volume, Aperture has invited an international group of fifteen photographers, curators, authors, and cultural figures to select ten images apiece from this rarely seen cache of images. Each portfolio offers an idiosyncratic and revealing commentary on why this body of work continues to astound; how it has impacted the work of new generations of photography and the medium at large; and proposes new insight on Shore’s unique vision of America as transmuted in this totemic series.
