Résumé:
“The revolution will be Twittered!” declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran. But as journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov argues in The Net Delusion, the Internet is a tool that both revolutionaries and authoritarian governments can use. For all of the talk in the West about the power of the Internet to democratize societies, regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever. Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and threaten dissidents, making it harder—not easier—to promote democracy. Marshalling a compelling set of case studies, The Net Delusion shows why the cyber-utopian stance that the Internet is inherently liberating is wrong, and how ambitious and seemingly noble initiatives like the promotion of “Internet freedom” are misguided and, on occasion, harmful.

Résumé:
Le potentiel de la bibliothèque de consolider le lien entre la ville et l'homme contemporain invalide les fondements des années 1990, basés sur une vision hiérarchique de l'espace, au profit d'une conception vicinale. La définition d'un espace non-hiérarchique apparaît alors comme l'emblème de tout projet architectural.

Escaping the digital unease

Résumé:
Constant activity in digital and analogue spaces leaves behind an increasingly diffuse feeling of unease, irrespective of how commonplace that activity may be. Meantime however, the marketing of social relations, the dissolution of the private sphere, and the dominance of commercial actors are being perceived as a problem that demands an active interdisciplinary(...)

Résumé:
Constant activity in digital and analogue spaces leaves behind an increasingly diffuse feeling of unease, irrespective of how commonplace that activity may be. Meantime however, the marketing of social relations, the dissolution of the private sphere, and the dominance of commercial actors are being perceived as a problem that demands an active interdisciplinary discourse. Media scientists and artists reflect here on that unease and present perspectives on and ways out of the excessive demands on users by way of the most recent research and artistic experiments. This book brings together essays and provides insight into the international group exhibition featuring works by Olia Lialina, Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud, and Benjamin Grosser, among others.

Résumé:
Provocative, and controversial when first published thirty years ago, Donna Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto” is even more relevant today, when the divisions that she so eloquently challenges—of human and machine but also of gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and location—are increasingly complex. The subsequent “Companion Species Manifesto,” which further questions(...)

The subsequent “Companion Species Manifesto,” which further questions the human–nonhuman disjunction, is no less urgently needed in our time of environmental crisis and profound polarization.

Que me demande-t-on, au juste ? Si je pense avant de classer ? Si je classe avant de penser ? Comment je classe ce que je pense ? Comment je pense quand je veux classer ? [...] Tellement tentant de vouloir distribuer le monde entier selon un code unique ; une loi universelle régirait l'ensemble des phénomènes : deux hémisphères, cinq continents, masculin et féminin, animal et végétal, singulier pluriel, droite gauche, quatre saisons, cinq sens, six voyelles, sept jours, douze mois, vingt-six lettres. Malheureusement ça ne marche pas, ça n'a même jamais commencé à marcher, ça ne marchera jamais. N'empêche que l'on continuera encore longtemps à catégoriser tel ou tel animal selon qu'il a un nombre impair de doigts ou des cornes creuses.

Résumé:
'Track Changes' balances the stories of individual writers with a consideration of how the seemingly ineffable act of writing is always grounded in particular instruments and media, from quills to keyboards. Along the way, we discover the candidates for the first novel written on a word processor, explore the surprisingly varied reasons why writers of both popular and serious literature adopted the technology, trace the spread of new metaphors and ideas from word processing in fiction and poetry, and consider the fate of literary scholarship and memory in an era when the final remnants of authorship may consist of folders on a hard drive or documents in the cloud.
