Résumé:
In this collection, Solnit turns her attention to battles over meaning, place, language, and belonging at the heart of the defining crises of our time. She explores the way emotions shape political life, electoral politics, police shootings and gentrification, the life of an extraordinary man on death row, the pipeline protest at Standing Rock, and the existential threat posed by climate change. The work of changing the world sometimes requires changing the story, the names, and inventing or popularizing new names and terms and phrases. Calling things by their true names can also cut through the lies that excuse, disguise, avoid, or encourage inaction, indifference, obliviousness in the face of injustice and violence.

Résumé:
Aujourd’hui analysée par les historiens comme un singulier crépuscule des révolutions du xixe siècle, la Commune de Paris fut longtemps considérée comme l’aurore des révolutions du xxe siècle, comme une lutte à poursuivre. Cet essai se penche sur les usages politiques des mémoires de cet événement tragique dont la complexité favorise une grande plasticité mémorielle. Et chacun investit cet événement fascinant de ses propres attentes, étroitement liées aux enjeux politiques du temps. Les mémoires de la Commune sont plurielles et conflictuelles. Répliquant à la violence discursive des Versaillais, puis à la volonté d’oubli des républicains modérés, les vaincus imposent dès les années 1880 la montée au mur des Fédérés comme un rituel politique révolutionnaire majeur.

Résumé:
Buildings are not benign; rather, they commonly manipulate and abuse their human users. Architectural Agents makes the case that buildings act in the world independently of their makers, patrons, owners, or occupants. And often they act badly.Treating buildings as bodies, Annabel Jane Wharton writes biographies of symptomatic structures in order to diagnose their pathologies. The violence of some sites is rooted in historical trauma; the unhealthy spatial behaviors of other spaces stem from political and economic ruthlessness. The places examined range from the Cloisters Museum in New York City and the Palestine Archaeological Museum (renamed the Rockefeller Museum) in Jerusalem to the grand Hostal de los Reyes CatOlicos in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and Las Vegas casino resorts.

Résumé:
"Racialized incarceration" constitutes a form of sequel to issues 4 (Mar-Apr. 2016, "Carceral environments") and 5 (May-June 2016, "Design & racism"). This issue builds on these two precedents in demonstrating that incarceration is one of the horizons of processes of racialization and that architecture is an unsurpassable instrument of its enforcement. Through historical examples (concentration camps of Romani people in France, prison cities of Japanese and Japanese American people in the United States, an Aborigene prison in Australia) and contemporary ones (US prison industrial complex, immigrant detention centers in Canada, Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon), The Funambulist’s 12th issue intends to illustrate how the violence of colonial and structural forms of racism endure time and materialize in space.

Résumé:
Beginning with an overview of global urbanization patterns, particularly the entropic forces that exacerbate poverty, increase violence, and discourage democratic life in peripheral areas, "The Prospect of Cities" goes on to address specific contemporary issues. These range in subject and scale from the impact of transnational migration on global cities whose populations are at least 30 percent of foreign origin to the critical importance of everyday life, as it is experienced on the streets and in neighborhoods, for a full understanding of urban planning. The final chapter traces the author's evolution as a theorist of city-regional development and planning, deepening the perspective mapped out over the course of the volume and providing new insight into the study of the urban landscape in a global environment.

Résumé:
La fragilité, la mémoire et la nécessité du témoignage sont les thèmes centraux de la démarche commune d'Anne et Patrick Poirier. Des installations de maquettes de sites archéologiques ruinés, de gigantesques sculptures-écroulements, des dizaines de journaux-herbiers, des centaines d'empreintes et de photographies instaurent des fictions paradoxales qui valent à ces artistes, depuis le début des années 1970, une reconnaissance internationale. Ce livre propose un "retour" aux œuvres, afin de dissiper ambiguïtés et malentendus ayant pu laisser penser qu'Anne et Patrick Poirier s'adonnaient à la nostalgie d'un mythique passé, alors que l'axe central de leur travail est l'actualité du monde, l'affirmation post-exotique de la nécessité d'opposer l'intelligence à la violence, la culture à l'intolérance, la mémoire à l'amnésie.

Résumé:
La figure de l'architecte issue de la Renaissance repose sur la séparation du savoir et du faire, de l'artisanat et de l’art mais dans le même temps apparaissent les indices d’une rupture profonde inaugurée par le capitalisme naissant. Dépassant les catégories habituelles, "Dessin/chantier" cherche à analyser comment se produit la valeur dans un monde dominé par la marchandise. Le propos tranche par son approche idéologique à l’opposé du libéralisme actuel. L’auteur est marqué par les luttes des années 60 au Brésil, par la violence faite aux ouvriers bâtissant Brasilia. Alors le voici parti à la recherche d’une autre pratique de l’architecture et de son édification, une pratique heureuse passant par un changement radical des rapports de production. Avant-propos de Vincent Michel.

Résumé:
This book bridges generations of powerful Indigenous feminist thinking to demonstrate the movement’s cruciality for today. ''Indigenous feminists'' in the first edition fought for feminism to be considered a valid and essential intellectual and activist position. The second edition animated Indigenous feminisms through real-world applications. This third edition, curated by award-winning scholar Gina Starblanket, reflects and celebrates Indigenous feminism’s intergenerational longevity through the changing landscape of anti-colonial struggle and theory. Diverse contributors examine Indigenous feminism’s ongoing relevance to contemporary contexts and debates, including queer and Two-Spirit approaches to decolonization, gendered and sexualized violence, storytelling and narrative, land-based presence, Black and Indigenous relationalities and more. Feminism has much to offer Indigenous women, and all Indigenous Peoples, in their struggles against oppression.

Résumé:
Errant Journal No. 6 takes up the topic of debt in order to challenge the idea that it is something rational, natural or inevitable. The contributions in the issue address the ways in which debt and its language hold power over us and organize obedience; from its role in geopolitics to its associations with shame and guilt through moral and religious connotations. Together they reveal how the personal is always connected to the structural. Crucially, the issue also features contributions that address ways of thinking about debt outside Western/neoliberal hegemony and introduce instances of resistance to the violence and inequality inherent to debt. We’ve made additional space in this issue to address the intensified struggle for Palestinian liberation and its relations to debt/guilt and finance.

Urban Toys chronicles Nadim Karam and Atelier Hapsitus’s recent creations of relief and rebellion in the city. Working out of Beirut, they make their own rules for urban art with work that is, in the words of Peter Cook, “unnervingly original.” Projects include groundbreaking work in post-war Beirut and post-Communist Prague, sculptures for the sidewalks of London and Tokyo, a poetic project in Todaiji temple in Nara, and the Sandridge Bridge project on the Yarra River for the opening of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006. Their work in the creation of “dream pockets” has grown in importance, given the increasing number of cities that have to add violence and terror to the pressures of urban life.
