Résumé:
Dans Le Pouvoir des mots, Judith Butler analyse les récents débats, souvent passionnés, sur la violence verbale dirigée contre les minorités, sur la pornographie et sur l’interdiction faite aux homosexuels membres de l’armée américaine de se déclarer tels. Il s’agit pour elle de montrer le danger qu’il y a à confier à l’État le soin de définir le champ du dicible et de(...)

Résumé:
Dans Le Pouvoir des mots, Judith Butler analyse les récents débats, souvent passionnés, sur la violence verbale dirigée contre les minorités, sur la pornographie et sur l’interdiction faite aux homosexuels membres de l’armée américaine de se déclarer tels. Il s’agit pour elle de montrer le danger qu’il y a à confier à l’État le soin de définir le champ du dicible et de l’indicible. Dans un dialogue critique avec J. L. Austin, le fondateur de la théorie du discours performatif, mais aussi avec Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida et Catharine MacKinnon, elle s’efforce d’établir l’ambivalence de la violence verbale (du hate speech) et des discours homophobes, sexistes ou racistes : s’ils peuvent briser les personnes auxquelles ils sont adressés, ils peuvent aussi être retournés et ouvrir l’espace d’une lutte politique et d’une subversion des identités.

Résumé:
One hundred years ago, French troops fired tear gas grenades into German trenches. Designed to force people out from behind barricades and trenches, tear gas causes burning of the eyes and skin, tearing, and gagging. Chemical weapons are now banned from war zones. But today, tear gas has become the most commonly used form of “less-lethal” police force. In 2011, the year(...)

Résumé:
One hundred years ago, French troops fired tear gas grenades into German trenches. Designed to force people out from behind barricades and trenches, tear gas causes burning of the eyes and skin, tearing, and gagging. Chemical weapons are now banned from war zones. But today, tear gas has become the most commonly used form of “less-lethal” police force. In 2011, the year that protests exploded from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street, tear gas sales tripled. Most tear gas is produced in the United States, and many images of protestors in Tahrir Square showed tear gas canisters with “Made in USA” printed on them, while Britain continues to sell tear gas to countries on its own human rights blacklist.

Résumé:
Taking as a guide Banham’s habit of structuring his writings around dialectical tensions, Todd Gannon sheds new light on Banham’s early engagement with the New Brutalism of Alison and Peter Smithson, his measured enthusiasm for the ''clip-on'' approach developed by Cedric Price and the Archigram group, his advocacy of ''well-tempered environments'' fostered by integrated mechanical and electrical systems, and his late-career assessments of High Tech practitioners such as Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, and Renzo Piano. Gannon devotes significant attention to Banham’s late work, including fresh archival materials related to 'Making Architecture: The Paradoxes of High Tech', the manuscript he left unfinished at his death in 1988. For the first time, readers will have access to Banham’s previously unpublished draft introduction to that book.

Résumé:
Architecture Drawing Topology presents an extensive body of drawings and texts and their complex relationalities, ranging from ontology to history. These relationalities have been developed in response to the natural topography of the Greek island of Hydra, and tested in the urban landscape of Berlin, Paris and Tokyo. Through constellations that are both real and virtual, the collection is composed of numerous highly detailed drawings. The diverse drawings express a complex and ambiguous field of significations, instrumentalizing an open production of meaning. Positions, relations, orders, levels, dimensions, energies, and processes are discovered as a new field of possibilities, creating an architecture of the event.

Résumé:
In 2017, the Whitney Biennial included a painting by a white artist, Dana Schutz, of the lynched body of a young black child, Emmett Till. In 1979, anger brewed over a show at New York’s Artists Space entitled The Nigger Drawings. In 1969, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition Harlem on My Mind did not include a single work by a black artist. In all three cases, black artists and writers and their allies organized vigorous responses using the only forum available to them: public protest. "Whitewalling: Art, Race & Protest in 3 Acts" reflects on these three incidents in the long and troubled history of art and race in America. It lays bare how the art world - no less than the country at large - has persistently struggled with the politics of race, and the ways this struggle has influenced how museums, curators and artists wrestle with notions of free speech and the specter of censorship.

Résumé:
Observation is the most pervasive and fundamental practice of all the modern sciences, both natural and human. Its instruments include not only the naked senses but also tools such as the telescope and microscope, the questionnaire, the photographic plate, the notebook, the glassed-in beehive, and myriad other ingenious inventions designed to make the invisible visible, the evanescent permanent, the abstract concrete. Yet observation has almost never been considered as an object of historical inquiry in itself. This wide-ranging collection offers the first examination of the history of scientific observation in its own right, as both epistemic category and scientific practice. Histories of Scientific Observation features engaging episodes drawn from across the spectrum of the natural and human sciences, ranging from meteorology, medicine, and natural history to economics, astronomy, and psychology.

This collection focuses on how architectural material is transformed, revised, swallowed whole, plagiarized, or in any other way appropriated. It charts new territory within this still unexplored yet highly topical area of study by establishing a shared vocabulary with which to discuss, or contest, the workings of appropriation as a vital and progressive aspect of architectural discourse. Written by a group of rising scholars in the field of architectural history and criticism, the chapters cover a range of architectural subjects that are linked in their investigations of how architects engage with their predecessors.
