Résumé:
Just what is it that catches the eye, and why? What's the significance of a broken flowerpot, a pair of identical tables side by side, a garden hose wrapped around an old car wheel?

Résumé:
Proposant une nouvelle façon de comprendre la relation entre la ville et l'identité personnelle, cet ouvrage, fruit d'une recherche approfondie sur les notions de ville et de personne à travers le temps et les disciplines, prend acte de la mutation qualitative générale dont nous sommes les contemporains. Il montre comment ce changement a partie liée avec la décentralisation et la fragmentation de l'identité personnelle dans un monde globalisé et, de la sorte, affronte le défi de repenser l'urbanisme en fonction tant des risques et incertitudes que des possibilités des villes d'aujourd'hui.

Résumé:
The contributors to this volume examine the oil culture nexus, beginning with the whale oil culture it replaced and analyzing literature and films such as Giant, Sundown, Bernardo Bertolucci’s La Via del Petrolio, and Ben Okri’s “What the Tapster Saw”; corporate art, museum installations, and contemporary photography; and in apocalyptic visions of environmental disaster and science fiction. By considering oil as both a natural resource and a trope, the authors show how oil’s dominance is part of culture rather than an economic or physical necessity. Oil Culture sees beyond oil capitalism to alternative modes of energy production and consumption.

Résumé:
In the wake of its early twentieth-century civil wars, Mexico strove to present itself to the world as unified and prosperous. The preparation in Mexico City for the 1968 Summer Olympics was arguably the most ambitious of a sequence of design projects that aimed to signal Mexico’s arrival in the developed world. In Spectacular Mexico, Luis M. Castañeda demonstrates how these projects were used to create a spectacle of social harmony and ultimately to guide the nation’s capital into becoming the powerful megacity we know today.
