Résumé:
The Almanac of New York City is an innovative companion for urban enthusiasts. Nowhere else will you find the name of the city's first comptroller (Selah Strong) and Staten Island's most recently designated historic district (Our Lady of Mount Carmel Grotto) next to the city's best-attended cultural institution (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with five million visitors annually) and its lowest recorded temperature (15 degrees below zero in February 1934). The Almanac identifies the borough with the most residents who relocate to Palm Beach (Queens) and the borough with the highest number of Panamanian immigrants (Brooklyn). It lists where New York currently ranks in the cost of apartment rentals, the rate of obesity in each borough, the details of executions dating back to 1639, per capita income by borough, the longest-running Broadway shows, the winners of the Wanamaker Mile, and the location of celebrated grave sites. Compiled by two longtime historians of the city, The Almanac treats readers to a real New York story, a tale that will delight anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Big Apple's complex core.

Résumé:
A wildly original fin-de-siècle novel, Against Nature follows its sole character, Des Esseintes, a decadent, ailing aristocrat who retreats to an isolated villa where he indulges his taste for luxury and excess. Veering between nervous excitability and debilitating ennui, he gluts his aesthetic appetites with classical literature and art, exotic jewels (with which he fatally encrusts the shell of his tortoise), rich perfumes, and a kaleidoscope of sensual experiences. The original handbook of decadence, Against Nature exploded “like a grenade” (in the words of its author) and has enjoyed a cult readership from its publication to the present day.

Résumé:
Th�oricien de ce que l�on a appel� �l��cole de Francfort�, Adorno (1903-1969), fut � la fois philosophe, sociologue et musicologue. A l�av�nement du nazisme, il �migre aux Etats-Unis. Rentr� en Allemagne, sa critique de la consommation culturelle au sein de la soci�t� industrielle acquiert une influence d�cisive sur la pens�e moderne, notamment � travers des ouvrages comme Minima moralia (1960). Sur Walter Benjamin rassemble tous les essais qu�il a consacr�s � l�auteur de Paris, capitale du xixe si�cle, � qui l�unissait une amiti� qui n��tait pas seulement intellectuelle, comme en t�moigne la correspondance qu�ils ont �chang�e. C�est pourquoi ces textes, qui constituent l�une des analyses les plus p�n�trantes de l��uvre de Benjamin, dessinent aussi un portrait �mouvant de cette figure qui, � bien des �gards, demeure �nigmatique.

L��uvre d�art � l��poque de sa reproductibilit� technique annonce, d�s son titre, le tournant op�r� par la modernit� : Benjamin montre dans cet essai lumineux que l�av�nement de la photographie, puis du cin�ma, n�est pas l�apparition d�une simple technique nouvelle, mais qu�il bouleverse de fond en comble le statut de l��uvre d�art, en lui �tant ce que Benjamin nomme son �aura�. Benjamin met au jour les cons�quences immenses de cette r�volution, bien au-del� de la sph�re artistique, dans tout le champ social et politique. Un texte fondamental, dont les �chos ne cessent de se prolonger dans les r�flexions les plus contemporaines. Traduit de l�allemand par Maurice de Gandillac.

Résumé:
Taking the Matter into Common Hands maps out the issues surrounding collaborative art from a practitioner's perspective. With contributions from Marion von Osten, Nav Haq, 16 Beaver, Copenhagen Free University, Maria Lind and Lars Nilsson, it examines the working relations between artists and other producers of culture, and explores the future of collective action in the art world. In recent years, the art world has shown a renewed interest in collective work and activity. Collaborations between artists and artists, artists and curators, and artists and outside professionals have begun to rival the traditional focus on the individual artist. This type of collaboration has called into question how we view works of art that are not the voice of a single individual, and how that impacts on the concept of art as a means of self-expression.

Résumé:
In The Open, contemporary Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben considers the ways in which the “human” has been thought of as either a distinct and superior type of animal, or a kind of being that is essentially different from animal altogether. In an argument that ranges from ancient Greek, Christian, and Jewish texts to twentieth-century thinkers such as Heidegger, Benjamin, and Kojève, Agamben examines the ways in which the distinction between man and animal has been manufactured by the logical presuppositions of Western thought, and he investigates the profound implications that the man/animal distinction has had for disciplines as seemingly disparate as philosophy, law, anthropology, medicine, and politics.
