Résumé:
''Constructing Imperial Berlin'' is the first book to critically assess, contextualize, and frame urban and architectural photographs of the Imperial years in Berlin between 1871 and 1918. Berlin, as it was pronounced Germany's capital in 1871, was fraught with questions that had previously beset Paris and London. How was urban expansion and transformation to be absorbed? What was the city's understanding of its comparably short history? Given this short history, how did it embody the idea of a capital? A key theme of this book is the close interrelation of the city's rapid physical metamorphosis with repercussions on promotional and critical narratives, the emergence of groundbreaking photographic technologies, and novel forms of mass distribution.

Objet d'une urbanisation sans précédent, le Chicago des années 1920 constitue un gigantesque " laboratoire social ". Fascinés par le comportement de l'homme dans son nouveau milieu urbain, des sociologues, dont Robert Park, Ernest Burgess, Roderick Mackenzie, William Thomas et Louis Wirth, jettent les bases d'une "approche écologique de la ville". Groupes sociaux, territoires, ségrégation; mobilité; réseaux de relations, mentalités, sociabilité : pour la première fois, la ville est pensée comme société, comme culture et, finalement, comme état d'esprit. Grâce à ces nouveaux concepts, les sociologues de Chicago se donnent pour objectif de produire des connaissances utiles au règlement des problèmes sociaux concrets, particulièrement ceux de l'assimilation de millions d'immigrants à la société américaine. Leurs méthodes de travail, annonçant la sociologie qualitative, vont profondément marquer la recherche sociologique. Cet ouvrage rassemble les textes fondateurs de ce courant, ainsi qu'un article de Maurice Halbwachs sur la croissance de Chicago et son caractère exemplaire de creuset ethnique et culturel, et des textes de Georg Simmel, qui esquissait, dès 1903, la spécificité d'une personnalité urbaine.

Résumé:
This essay opens up multiple dimensions of the oncept from architectural, political, philosophical, and technological points of view. There is some historical analysis here, but the contributors are more focused on the future of public space under conditions of growing urbanization and democratic confusion. The added interest offered by non-academic work—visual art, fiction, poetry, and drama—is in part an admission that this is a topic too important to be left only to theorists. It also makes an implicit argument for the crucial role that art, not just public art, plays in a thriving public realm.

Résumé:
The walls of the Reichstag are covered with graffiti, written by victorious Soviet soldiers in 1945. Hidden for 30 years, the Reichstag graffiti were rediscovered by Norman Foster and his team when they began work on the building in 1995. They were preserved as part of Foster’s concept of the Reichstag as a ‘living museum’ of German history. Published at a time when the graffiti are threatened with eradication, this book offers an important visual and literary record. Deborah Lipstadt considers the arguments for and against the preservation of the graffiti: is the preservation, as some charge, "morally offensive" and "masochistic" or does it indicate a brave determination not to forget the tragedies of the past? And what does it mean and say about Germany today? Frederick Baker considers the graffiti as a monument to the individual and offers an historical account of the Battle of Berlin through the eyes of Red Army soldiers as they approached their ultimate goal, including the soldier who first raised the Red Flag above the Reichstag. This illustrated volume allows the inscriptions to be made accessible and understandable to a wider public for the first time.
