Résumé:
L'urbanisme, terme apparu récemment dans la langue (au début du XXe siècle), n'est pas aisé à définir. Il a suscité de nombreuses " théories " dont aucune n'a fait l'unanimité. Peut-être cette difficulté s'explique-t-elle par le caractère essentiellement pluridisciplinaire d'une activité qui vise à créer dans le temps une disposition ordonnée de l'espace, en recherchant(...)

Résumé:
L'urbanisme, terme apparu récemment dans la langue (au début du XXe siècle), n'est pas aisé à définir. Il a suscité de nombreuses " théories " dont aucune n'a fait l'unanimité. Peut-être cette difficulté s'explique-t-elle par le caractère essentiellement pluridisciplinaire d'une activité qui vise à créer dans le temps une disposition ordonnée de l'espace, en recherchant harmonie, bien-être et économie. En effet, l'urbanisme relève autant de l'art que de l'architecture, de l'économie que de la sociologie, de l'histoire que de la géographie, du droit que de l'ingénierie.

Résumé:
In this publication, Mark Jarzombek examines the impact of psychology on twentieth-century aesthetics. Analyzing the interface among psychology, art history and avant-gardist practices, he also reflects on the longevity of the myth of aesthetic individuality as it infiltrated not only avant-garde art, but also history writing. The principle focus of this study is pre-World War II Germany, where theories of empathy and Entartung emerged; and postwar America, where artists, critics and historians gradually shifted from their reliance on psychology to philosophy, and most recently, to theory.

Résumé:
Les villes se reconfigurent totalement lors de grands événements. La capacité des organisateurs à attirer des publics rencontre le souci des services de sécurité de contenir les foules. Le cadre bâti doit jouer son rôle de conteneur mais les attracteurs de l'attention doivent fonctionner comme contenants. Les publics eux-mêmes génèrent parfois ces contenants pour maintenir l'excitation et retarder la descente. Les rythmes et leur synchronisation sont tout aussi importants que les espaces pour que tous se sentent partie prenante d un même climat. L'observation de trois événements (manif, festival et match) du point de vue de tous les acteurs concernés permet de comprendre à quel point l'expérience de ces moments est différente et que l'articulation entre tous ces acteurs demande un travail attentionné, sans oublier les autres publics urbains affectés par l'événement.

Résumé:
The growing urbanization of the planet, visible in the fact that by the middle of this century some 70% percent of the population will live in cities, situates the urban question as a key issue for global sustainability. Many of the causes generating the huge environmental crises, climate change for instance, have their rationale in the metabolic inefficiency of our cities. Greater metabolic efficiency contributes to the energy rationalization of urban system and also contributes to greater urban competitiveness. Urban metabolic analysis demonstrates efficiency that small and medium-sized cities can have in the new neo-tertiary context, and could be used as a test to previously evaluate the functional and ecological consequences of future urban transformations.

Résumé:
If all things in the world can be considered as sources of aesthetic experience, then art no longer holds a privileged position. Rather, art comes between the subject and the world, and any aesthetic discourse used to legitimize art must also necessarily serve to undermine it. Following his recent books Art Power and The Communist Postscript, in Going Public Boris Groys looks to escape entrenched aesthetic and sociological understandings of art — which always assume the position of the spectator, of the consumer. Let us instead consider art from the position of the producer, who does not ask what it looks like or where it comes from, but why it exists in the first place.

Résumé:
Fang’s novel tells the story of a man in the process of designing a theme park, called Garden of Mirrored Flowers, and is an adaptation and transformation of the classical Chinese novel Jin Hua Yuan, or Flowers in the Mirror, from the Qing Dynasty. Beginning as a pictorial journey through myriad advertisements and the way they allow for many different entries into reality, Fang depicts parallels between the park’s actual construction and how it has been imagined, or how it has evolved out of history. For Garden of Mirrored Flowers is less the vision of one author (Fang) and more the result of reality writing itself through this author; that is, a script, or documentary, of life. “It’s a book,” Fang states, “written by a ghost writer. Me? Just a traveler floating within the wave of globalization.” Culminating with the park’s opening ceremony, Fang creates a space where history seems to have been completely consumed and absorbed by contemporary social movements. It is both a labyrinth to get lost in and a pavilion made of reflective glass.

Résumé:
Tell Me What You Want, What You Really, Really Want brings together a selection of recent writings by art critic Jan Verwoert for the first time. Published in collaboration with Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, the book galvanizes central themes Verwoert has been developing in pursuit of a language to describes art’s transformative potential in conceptual, performative, and emotional terms. He analyzes the power of public gestures to constitute communities as well as the pressure to perform that governs the sphere of creative labor, in order to show how particular artists perform gestures and invoke community differently. Exploring the emotional power games that shape social relations, Verwoert looks for an alternative ethos of action and feeling, asking: How can a modernist approach to artistic form as a means of social critique be expanded to fully avow its subliminal affective undercurrents, and produce a pleasurably crooked form of criticality in art and writing?
