Résumé:
This new book by Luc Boltanski and Arnaud Esquerre is a highly original analysis of the two key processes that shape the contemporary public sphere. On the one hand, there are the processes of news provision which select out a range of facts and events and bring them to the attention of a large number of people who have not, for the most part, experienced them directly. On the other hand, there are processes of politicization which problematize the facts made known by news provision and treat them as issues that concern citizens and the state. Politicization is typically characterized by a diversity of interpretations which, in turn, gives rise to a proliferation of commentary, discussion, polemic and division.

Résumé:
In a sweeping journey through time, bestselling author Florian Illies tells the story of Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings and their impact on subsequent generations. Many of his most beautiful paintings were burned, first in his birthplace and then in World War II; others, like the Chalk Cliffs on Rügen, emerge from the mists of history a hundred years after Friedrich's death. Illies recounts the story of how Friedrich's paintings ended up at the Russian czar's court, others among a pile of winter tires in a Mafia car repair shop, and others still in the kitchen of a German social housing apartment. Adored by Hitler and Rainer Maria Rilke, despised by Stalin and by the generation of 68, this compelling narrative dances through 250 years of history as seen through Friedrich’s art and life. As a result, the man himself becomes flesh and blood before our very eyes.

Résumé:
In this perceptive book, Myria Georgiou sets out to investigate the new configuration of social order that is taking shape in today’s cities. Although routed through extractive datafication, compulsive connectivity, and regulatory AI technologies, this digital order nonetheless displaces technocentrism and instead promotes new visions of humanism, all in the name of freedom, diversity, and sustainability. But the digital order emerges in the midst of neoliberal instability and crises, resulting in a plurality of contrasting responses to securing digitally mediated human progress. While corporate, media, and state actors mobilize such positive sociotechnical imaginaries to promise digitally mediated human progress, urban citizens and social movements propose alternative pathways to autonomy and dignity through and sometimes against digital technologies.

Résumé:
"Architecture and retrenchment" explores the "neoliberal turn" in architecture, through the rise and fall of the Swedish welfare state. There are few better case studies of architecture's role in the retrenchment and dismantling of the welfare state than Sweden, the birthplace of the world-famous "Swedish Model" and now home to Europe's fastest-growing inequality. Through eight in-depth architectural case studies, Helena Mattsson analyzes how neoliberalism has created conditions for a new built environment which was once closely integral to the welfare system, examining how new architectural strategies and techniques were developed in order to protect the agency of architecture in a newly re-organised society, and revealing the role of architecture in creating new types of segregation, discrimination, and social stratification.

Résumé:
A publication based on "Pandemic objects", an editorial project that compiles and reflects on objects that have taken on new meaning and purpose during the Covid-19 pandemic. During times of pandemic, a host of everyday often-overlooked "objects" are suddenly charged with new urgency. Toilet paper becomes a symbol of public panic, a forehead thermometer a tool for social control, convention centres become hospitals, while parks become contested public commodities. By compiling these objects and reflecting on their changing purpose and meaning, the project aims to paint a unique picture of the pandemic and the pivotal role objects play within it.

« Le Laboratoire de fermentation » retrace quatre années d'enquête sur les plantes sauvages et cultivées et les moyens de les faire fermenter. Dans un second temps, apparaissent des notations davantage autobiographiques (hortobiographiques ?). La question que pose Le Laboratoire de fermentation, c'est : comment faire pour ne pas verser dans le pathogène (comme on le dit de la fermentation alimentaire et en psychiatrie aussi) mais, au contraire, d'envisager notre relation à l'humain (individu et société) et au non-humain (végétal et autres), avec toute l'attention et le soin requis aujourd'hui.

Résumé:
Les crises qui secouent notre époque se vivent de la manière la plus urgente au cœur de nos villes. Face aux dérèglements climatiques, à la crise du logement et de l’itinérance, aux enjeux de mobilité et d’accès à la santé, les citoyen·ne·s se tournent désormais vers leurs élu·e·s de proximité. Sauf que les municipalités du Québec, historiquement soumises à l’autorité du gouvernement québécois, ne disposent ni du pouvoir législatif ni des ressources financières pour véritablement répondre à ces besoins et anticiper l’avenir. François William Croteau démontre que seule une plus grande autonomie des villes pourrait leur permettre de tirer parti de l’intelligence collective et de renforcer leur résilience.

Résumé:
Formerly the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professor at Yale University, architect Fernanda Canales (born 1974), together with her studio, was named one of the world's "100+ Best Architecture Firms" by Domus magazine, and was cited by the New York Times as one of 10 women changing the face of international leadership. Canales' practice almost exclusively focuses on residential buildings. Her solutions address the environmental challenges of a given area or of a changing climate at large: whether rebuilding a family home damaged by an earthquake or designing a new house around the existing trees and vegetation. In this collection of essays published by 2G, Canales analyzes the evolution of the house by dismantling three critical assumptions: the house as a place of rest separate from work, the house as an object of private property and the house as a sanctuary for the nuclear family.

Résumé:
Longtemps insolite et singulière, la réhabilitation de l'existant est en passe d'être systématiquement envisagée dans les grands projets architecturaux et urbains. En cause ? La priorité donnée aux vertus écologiques du réemploi, qui s'est récemment greffée sur le souci fondateur de la préservation du patrimoine. Ancienne abbatiale, piscine municipale, gare désaffectée, entrepôts industriels à l'abandon, usines, moulins et ateliers à l'arrêt : la destruction est la solution d'une époque révolue ; paradoxalement rétrograde. L'auteur de cet ouvrage, acteur de la transformation de la gare d'Orsay en musée, et concepteur entre autres de La Piscine à Roubaix et du musée de Valence, a été l'un des pionniers en France de la métamorphose architecturale.
