Résumé:
Author and philosopher Umberto Eco is currently resident at the Louvre, and his chosen theme of study is "the vertigo of lists." Reflecting on this enormous trove of human achievements, he has embarked on an investigation of the phenomenon of cataloging and collecting. This book, featuring lavish reproductions of artworks from the Louvre and other world-famous collections, is a philosophical and artistic sequel to Eco’s recent acclaimed books, History of Beauty and On Ugliness, books in which he delved into the psychology, philosophy, history, and art of human forms. Here he examines the Western mind’s predilection for list-making and the encyclopedic. His central thesis is that in Western culture a passion for accumulation is recurring: lists of saints, catalogues of plants, collections of art. This impulse has recurred through the ages from music to literature to art.From medieval reliquaries to Andy Warhol’s compulsive collecting, Umberto Eco reflects in his inimitably inspiring way on how such catalogues mirror the spirit of their times.

Résumé:
Bringing together Baudrillard’s most accomplished and perceptive commentators, this book assesses his legacy for the twenty-first century. It includes two essays by Baudrillard: a previously unpublished work entitled ‘The vanishing point of communication,’ and one of Baudrillard’s final texts, ‘On disappearance’, a veritable tour de force that serves as a culmination of his theoretical trajectory and a provocation to a new generation of thinkers. Employing Baudrillard’s key concepts, such as simulation, disappearance, and symbolic exchange, and deploying his most radical strategies, such as escalation, seduction, and fatality, the volume’s contributors offer a series of thought-provoking analyses of everything from art to politics, and from laughter to terror.

Résumé:
Objectivity has a history, and it is full of surprises. In Objectivity, Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison chart the emergence of objectivity in the mid-nineteenth-century sciences—and show how the concept differs from its alternatives, truth-to-nature and trained judgment. This is a story of lofty epistemic ideals fused with workaday practices in the making of scientific images. From the eighteenth through the early twenty-first centuries, the images that reveal the deepest commitments of the empirical sciences—from anatomy to crystallography—are those featured in scientific atlases, the compendia that teach practitioners what is worth looking at and how to look at it. Galison and Daston use atlas images to uncover a hidden history of scientific objectivity and its rivals. Whether an atlas maker idealizes an image to capture the essentials in the name of truth-to-nature or refuses to erase even the most incidental detail in the name of objectivity or highlights patterns in the name of trained judgment is a decision enforced by an ethos as well as by an epistemology.

Nous continuons à considérer l'art en tant que spectateurs, alors que nous en sommes désormais les acteurs. Tel est l'étonnant constat dressé par Boris Groys, l'enfant terrible de la théorie de l'art contemporaine. Mais que cela signifie-t-il ? Quelles sont les conséquences, non seulement esthétiques, mais aussi politiques, de la réalisation de la prophétie de Joseph Beuys, voulant que chacun devra un jour devenir artiste ? Qu'est-ce qu'un monde dans lequel les créateurs d'images sont en nombre plus important que les spectateurs ?

Résumé:
Equated with notions of public interaction, the term "participation" is often used very loosely, especially within the contexts of new media and innovation research. Among a recent generation of artists and designers working in new media, there is an increasing need to work across disciplines and domains in ways that enable end users to contribute content, form and structure. These artists are currently developing new parameters in creative collaboration and participation in order to meet the specific working methods and processes required by new media. Participation Is Risky illustrates how interesting participative practices and results are typically characterized by the "risky" confrontation between the differences of disciplines and perspectives. While their work will have no fixed form, this study proposes that artists who engage in participative practices must take the risk of abandoning their traditional roles and evolve through participatory collaboration.

Résumé:
Les thuriféraires de la mondialisation, comme ses détracteurs, focalisent identiquement leurs analyses sur la collusion de l'économie et des nouveaux avatars, téléinformatiques, de la technique. Et, pour dresser leurs bilans - positif ou négatif -, ils scrutent et traquent identiquement les effets du processus dans les mêmes champs multiples et hétérogènes de l'écologie et du droit, de la psychologie et de la sexologie, de la linguistique et de la morale, de la politique et des arts figuratifs... Mais, dans cet inventaire borgésien, un domaine demeure, de part et d'autre, absent: celui de la spatialité, autrement dit, des modalités selon lesquelles les sociétés humaines construisent et vivent leur environnement spatial. A l'issue d'une série d'articles, écrits au fil des vingt dernières années, sur les figures multiples de la spatialisation et de son histoire (architecture, urbanisme, aménagement, protection du patrimoine), Françoise Choay découvre progressivement un propre de l'homme, «la compétence d'édifier», et les enjeux majeurs dont cette compétence est dépositaire à l'heure de la mondialisation.
