Résumé:
Technological violence is essentially remote, invisible and indirect. Exclusion, which many do not immediately notice, happens deep inside the code and network architecture. The answer will not be pacification or regulation but the dismantling of the platform principle itself. ''Platform Brutality'' not just offers critical analyses but also dives into alternatives.(...)

Résumé:
Technological violence is essentially remote, invisible and indirect. Exclusion, which many do not immediately notice, happens deep inside the code and network architecture. The answer will not be pacification or regulation but the dismantling of the platform principle itself. ''Platform Brutality'' not just offers critical analyses but also dives into alternatives. Topics range from the violent turn of the internet and techno-feudalism debates, to loneliness on social media, radical data critique, mythologies that surround the smart phone, dreaming in the computer age, offline romanticism to question how to leave the platforms, bring back social networks and design a new balance between analogue and digital.

Résumé:
Frustrated by Morocco’s rigid educational system of the 1990s, art teacher Hicham Benohoud used photography as a pedagogical tool, creating a makeshift darkroom in his classroom to foster collaborative and hands-on learning, encouraging students to engage with creativity and identity. The resulting images created with his students are marked by tension and alienation, blending absurdity, humour, and unease in their exquisitely framed and obliquely disarming compositions. In juxtaposing the monotony of the classroom with a visual exploration of both freedom and control, The Classroom builds a playful and existential critique of postcolonial identity, where childlike creative gestures merge into a more ambiguous aesthetic that hints at oppression, violence and isolation.

Résumé:
Eyal Weizman is one of the world’s leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict, and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organization Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers have spent decades documenting state crimes and human rights violations around the world, including in Israel and Palestine. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice’s case against Israel. In this revelatory new project, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey through the "deep cartography" of the area, from Gaza’s subterranean tunnels up to its militarized topography, settlements, and barriers.

Urbanism is inherently conflict-driven, as Eve Blau points out in an interview in this issue of ‘MONU’. According to her, because cities are places of power, representation, and contestation, processes of urbanisation involve a certain amount of violence and destruction, which is both positive and negative. Various authors and perspectives go on to explore this notion in(...)

Résumé:
Urbanism is inherently conflict-driven, as Eve Blau points out in an interview in this issue of ‘MONU’. According to her, because cities are places of power, representation, and contestation, processes of urbanisation involve a certain amount of violence and destruction, which is both positive and negative. Various authors and perspectives go on to explore this notion in depth. Topics range from the Syrian refugee crisis, where people reshape their places and identities while navigating the complex structures of belonging, to sprawl and emptiness as a chief tool of protection in Australian capital cities and how the youth of Kyiv are returning to life as usual the Ukrainian capital.

Résumé:
''Before I was a critic I was a human being'' is the debut collection of essays by Amy Fung. In it, Fung takes a closer examination at Canada’s mythologies of multiculturalism, settler colonialism, and identity through the lens of a national art critic. Following the tangents of a foreign-born perspective and the complexities and complicities in participating in ongoing acts of colonial violence, the book as a whole takes the form of a very long land acknowledgement. Taken individually, each piece roots itself in the learning and unlearning process of a first generation settler immigrant as she unfurls each region’s sense of place and identity.

Résumé:
This photobook tells the story of a society living through a recurring loop of violent outbursts, in which, time and again, life is shattered into pieces and reconstructed. Photographer Noa Ben-Shalom chooses not to picture the more obvious scenes of direct violence, instead bringing into focus the subtle way the apparently never-ending conflict between Israel and Palestine has permeated all aspects of life in the two regions – almost without being noticed. Through poignant personal correspondence (in English, Arabic, and Hebrew) and images gathered between 2000–2014, Ben-Shalom enables quiet introspection within a landscape in which the absurd has become the norm.

Ici, nous suivons la déchirante histoire d’un amour qui se perd dans ce quartier que certains appellent le Centre Sud de Montréal mais que l’auteur considère comme son Mile Doré, le quartier le plus riche en émotions, le seul quartier où il puisse vivre. Ce quartier sera incendié et ébranlé dans ses fondations mêmes par la violence de cet amour. Et renaîtra de ses cendres. Golden Square Mile est le roman vécu de l’hallucination amoureuse : l’amour fou y prend la forme d’une errance urbaine qui touchera tous ceux qui ont déjà aimé passionnément.

Résumé:
La ville devrait être l’un des points centraux des propositions politiques. Or, paradoxalement elle est absente des paroles de l’agora. Mais ce silence n’est-il pas finalement à l’image de la vulgate de beaucoup de nos contemporains : une ville dévoreuse d’espace, source de pollution et de mal-être, créatrice et victime des atteintes environnementales, indissociablement liée au vertige productiviste et à la montée de l’exclusion et de la violence ? C’est contre cette idéologie anti-urbaine et cet aveuglement amnésique que cet essai voudrait s’inscrire : non seulement la ville fut inséparable de la reconstruction de notre progrès et de notre prospérité après la guerre, mais elle est au cœur des défis de la France d’aujourd’hui.

Résumé:
''Southern Exposure: The overlooked architecture of Chicago's South Side'' is the first book devoted to the South Side's rich and unfairly ignored architectural heritage. With lively, insightful text and colour photographs by noted Chicago architecture expert Lee Bey, this book documents the remarkable and largely unsung architecture of the South Side. The book features an array of landmarks-from a Space Age dry cleaners to a nineteenth-century lagoon that meanders down the middle of a working-class neighborhood street-that are largely absent from arts discourse, in no small part because they sit in a predominantly African American and Latino section of town that's better known as a place of disinvestment, abandonment, and violence.
