Résumé:
Art, Culture, and Media Under the Third Reich explores the ways in which Nazi Germany used art and media to portray their country as a champion of Kultur and civilization. Rather than focusing strictly on the role of the arts in state-supported propaganda as other studies do, this volume reveals how multiple domains of cultural activity served to conceptually dehumanize Jews and other groups, sowing the psychological seeds for the Holocaust to come. Topics covered by the essays range from the design of the Nuremberg Party Rally Grounds to Nazi experiments with radio. Contributors address nearly every facet of the arts and mass media under the Third Reich-efforts to define degenerate music; the promotion of race hatred and warfare through film, architecture, and public assemblies; visual iconography and style; views of the racially ideal garden and landscape; portrayal and reception of art and culture abroad; the treatment of exiled artists; and issues of territory, conquest, and cult. Anyone studying the history of Nazi Germany or the role of the arts in nationalist projects will benefit from this book.

Résumé:
Au printemps 2020, à Toronto, David Cayley, ancien journaliste scientifique pour la radio publique canadienne et écrivain, s'interroge sur la pandémie. En s'appuyant sur sa connaissance des travaux philosophiques de son ami Ivan illich, il se demande si ' l'ontologie de systèmes' dans laquelle nous vivons n'aurait-elle pas créé cet état de crise ? Il alerte sur une forme de négation de la mort, laquelle 'dissimule tout le reste, à savoir l'expérimentation à grande échelle du contrôle social et de l'obéissance sociale, la légitimation de la téléprésence comme mode de sociabilité et d'enseignement, l'accroissement de la surveillance, la normalisation de la biopolitique et le renforcement des mesures préventives comme fondements de la vie sociale. À Paris au printemps de cette même année, avec l'instauration du confinement pour juguler la pandémie du coronavirus, la rue s'est soudainement vidée. Le dispositif sanitaire adossé à un dispositif policier aura permis au pouvoir une montée en régime – sans rencontrer de grande résistance – dans sa politique sécuritaire initiée des années plus tôt avec notamment le plan Vigipirate. Le photographe Myr Muratet a documenté, à sa façon, la ville silencieuse.

Résumé:
Following the formation of the German National Socialist Party in the 1920s, various forms of sound (popular music, voice, noise and silence) and media technology (radio and loudspeaker systems) were configured as useful to the party's political programme. Focusing on the urban "soundscape" of Düsseldorf, the author makes a persuasive case for investigating such sound events and technological devices in their specific contexts of production and reception. Nazi Soundscapes identifies strategies for controlling space and reworking identity patterns, but also the ongoing difficulties in manipulating mediated sounds and the spaces of listening reception, whether in the home, workplace, the cinema, public rituals or with wartime siren systems. The study revises visualist notions of social control, and reveals the disciplinary functions of listening (as eavesdropping) as well as the sonic dimensions to exclusion and violence during Nazism. An essential title for everyone interested in the links between German political culture, audiovisual media and urban history,Nazi Soundscapes provides a fascinating analysis of the cultural significance of sound between the 1920s and early 1940s.

Résumé:
In this publication, Juliet Koss explores the history and legacy of Wagner’s concept, laying out its genealogy and the political, aesthetic, and cultural context from which it emerged, and tracing its development and reception through the 1930s. Beginning with Wagner’s initial articulation of the Gesamtkunstwerk in the wake of the 1848–49 revolution, Koss addresses a series of linked episodes in German aesthetic theory and artistic practice that include the composer’s efforts to build a theater to house his music dramas, culminating in the construction of the festival theater at Bayreuth in 1876; German aesthetic theory and criticism in the visual arts, theater, film, and radio from the 1870s to the 1920s; the founding of the Darmstadt Artists’ Colony in 1901 and that of the Munich Artists’ Theater in 1908; performances and parties at the Bauhaus in the 1920s and 1930s; and the legacy of the Gesamtkunstwerk under National Socialism. Attending to Wagner’s absorption into Fascist aesthetics, Koss foregrounds the revolutionary origins of the Gesamtkunstwerk and its emancipatory potential.

Résumé:
Since the 1980s, Colin Sackett, a book artist, designer and printer based in Axminster, has been publishing books which take peripheral information as a source material, and rejuvenate it so as to make it newly intelligible and vital. Sources as diverse as book indexes, Ordnance Survey maps, watercress labels and radio commentaries are singled out. These texts are edited and rearranged, sifted and panned and sieved, so that language comes to the surface new and raw and untarnished. The art here is typographical, and the end product of these explorations is a backlist of impeccable publications of simplicity and plainness. Englshpublshing sees a body of work published discretely in the 1990s, with essays, commentaries and unpublished pieces, compiled into a single volume with a standardised format. An opportunity, then, to concentrate on content, rather than product, and what is striking is the consistent wit and audacity charging this assault on an unsuspected hotchpotch of source material. Unrelated words and works strike off each other in counterpoint, building a compelling impression of some coherent whole from the parts, like the variations of a Bach suite.

Résumé:
Sound is everywhere and plays a crucial role in the experience and perception of public space. Nevertheless, in the reflection about that space and its organization, the visual image usually takes centre stage. Over recent years, however, there seems to have been a sensitization to the auditory aspects of daily life and the public domain. In the visual arts in particular, but also in architecture and landscape architecture, people are studying the potential of sound as an element that can lend meaning in relation to social or spatial surroundings. The medium of radio seems to be undergoing a cultural revival, and research into image-sound relationships has become an important subject within the field of 'cultural studies'. What is the role of sound and the sense of hearing in the public domain? An investigation of the topicality and the effects of sound, from the perspectives of cultural philosophy, art theory and media theory, could provide fresh insights into the current conditions of the public domain. With contributions by Jonathan Sterne, Dirk van Weelden, Edwin Carels, Moniek Toebosch, Suzanne van de Ven, Studio Popcorn, RadioDays and many others.

Résumé:
This book explores the experience of driving cars as a way of encountering landscapes and cities around the world. A richly illustrated cultural history, drawing on social and urban history, art, literature and music, Drive explores in particular how car driving is portrayed in cinema and other moving images, from America to Europe and Asia, and from Hollywood to the avant-garde. Drive is about dynamic journeys, experiences and speeds, rooted in specific places and roads, and expanded into the realm of cinema, art and video games. It moves from the gentle deserts of The Grapes of Wrath to the adventurous city streets of The Italian Job, from the aesthetic delights of Rain Man and Traffic to the existential musings of Two-Lane Blacktop, Thelma and Louise and Vanishing Point, from the contemplative freeway pleasures of Lift to the Scaffold, Radio On and London Orbital to the hallucinatory high-speed dangers of Crash, Bullitt, Death Proof and C’était un Rendezvous. It shows how various kinds of driving – with different speeds, cars, attitudes, roads and cities – provide experiences and values that we ignore at our peril.

Résumé:
A la différence de la critique architecturale, polarisée sur les projets exceptionnels et quasi absente du débat d'idées, la critique littéraire, théâtrale, cinématographique ou d'art est non seulement présente mais sollicitée par les médias. Aussi, les universités l'enseigne et tout un chacun n'hésite pas à s'y référer. Par ailleurs, l'architecture, surtout moderne ou récente, semble rater son rendez-vous avec le grand publie. Pourtant, c'est la seule production culturelle et matérielle à laquelle nul ne part échapper dès lors qu'il habite une ville ou parcourt la campagne. Unique recueil exclusivement consacré à la critique architecturale, l'ouvrage rassemble une vingtaine de textes de référence ou d'analyse critique d'auteurs issus d'horizons et de cultures très différents : presse quotidienne ou spécialisée, chroniqueur radio, sociologues, historiens des médias ou de l'architecture. Ensemble, depuis les années 1960, ils interrogent la posture de critique dans un métier plus accoutumé à l'anathème ou à la louange. Une attention particulière est accordée au phénomène de médiatisation actuelle des grands acteurs contemporains de la scène architecturale et l'éclipse des aspects touchant à l'architecture ordinaire pourtant le lot quotidien de notre environnement habituel. Au-delà de la diversité des mots et débats, affleure la question du râle de la critique architecturale à influer ou à transformer le monde bâti.
