Résumé:
Un manifeste collectif pour des écoles d'art féministes. Retranscrire un cycle de conférences, entretiens, workshops et groupes de discussion féministes intersectionnels dans une école d'art s'avère crucial pour partager des outils d'émancipation et bousculer les critères implicites qui structurent nos regards et nos pratiques (identification aux normes visuelles occidentales, représentations romantico-capitalistes de l'artiste-auteur·rice…). Cet ouvrage a pour premier objet de partager les contenus accueillis et produits à l'École Supérieure d'Art de Clermont Métropole entre 2017 et 2022. Il est aussi l'occasion de travailler avec un groupe d'étudiant·es, d'artistes et de chercheureuses, pour penser la manière d'élaborer collectivement des invitations mais aussi l'élaboration de l'ouvrage ; il est un outil pour un travail pédagogique collectif et idéalement horizontal au cœur d'une institution hiérarchisée et hiérarchisante.

Résumé:
From the 1950s to the 1980s, the open-air playground was a social laboratory. Innovative, wacky, and educational playground designs emerged in European and American cities, as well as elsewhere around the world. Artists, landscape designers, architects, and activists sought to provide children with the best possible place to play, while also reimagining cities and communities as a whole. This expanded new edition revives the wealth of ideas of that period to inspire us today. It offers many previously unpublished images, numerous new portraits—especially of female protagonists of the time—as well as findings from the latest research on playground design.

Résumé:
An important critic of modern culture, American economist Thorstein Veblen is best known for the concept of "conspicuous consumption," the ostentatious and wasteful display of goods in the service of social status—a term he coined in his 1899 classic "The Theory of the Leisure Class". In the field of architectural history, scholars have employed Veblen in support of a wide range of arguments about modern architecture, but never has he attracted a comprehensive and critical treatment from the viewpoint of architectural history. In "Barbarian architecture", Joanna Merwood-Salisbury corrects this omission by reexamining Veblen's famous book as an original theory of modernity and situating it in a particular place and time—Chicago in the 1890s.

Résumé:
The stirring speech given by Peter Sloterdijk in Lucerne in October 2022. From time immemorial, humanity has had to organize their "metabolism with nature." For Marx, the most important factor in this process was labor. When Prometheus, according to the myth, brought fire to earth, another crucial input was added. Fire has been used to cook food and harden tools for hundreds of thousands of years. In this sense, it can be said that all history implies the history of the uses of fire. But whereas trees could only be burnt once, labor and fire shifted with the discovery of underground deposits of coal and oil. Modern humanity, according to Peter Sloterdijk, can be considered a collective of arsonists who set fire to the underground forests and moors. If Prometheus were to return to earth today, he might regret his gift; after all, what looms is nothing less than Ekpyrosis, the demise of the world in fire. And only a new, energetic pacifism can prevent this catastrophe.

Résumé:
Research on multifamily housing and its impact on the daily lives of ordinary people, from a leading Canadian architectural firm. These four slipcased volumes build on 5468796 Architecture’s housing manifesto "Add via Edit: A Decade in Housing", the symposium "platform.MIDDLE: Architecture for Housing the 99%" hosted at Illinois Institute of Technology and examples by practice-related offices. The work and research of the Winnipeg-based firm 5468796 Architecture (described as "one of the most talented young design firms worldwide") has focused on "missing middle" and midrise housing in its many forms and ownership models, from refugee and social housing to market-rate condominiums. With the condominium boom taking hold across North America, the number of residential units passing across architects’ desks is unprecedented. As a result of the typology’s inherent repetition and potentially banal program—as well as the private sector’s pursuit of profit, often at the expense of quality and livability—the margin in which architecture can operate is very narrow. Architects must respond to the challenges of this typology with the rigor it deserves.

Résumé:
Gérard Berréby s'entretient avec Aurélie Noury sur ce qui constitue sa première expérience éditoriale, au tout début des années 1980. En décidant de réaliser sur sa seule initiative une édition pirate du livre d'Aragon – alors opposé à tout retirage –, Gérard Berréby soulève plusieurs questions liées à l'appropriation et à l'autoédition : la copie et le faux, la circulation des textes, le détournement, le droit d'auteur, l'édition comme geste politique, la prescription, etc. L'épisode, inédit dans l'histoire de l'édition généraliste, aura provoqué de nombreuses réactions dans le monde littéraire, jusqu'aux poursuites judiciaires engagées par Gallimard. À partir des témoignages et documents d'époque, analysés par Berréby et mis en perspective par Nathalie Leleu plus de 40 ans après, l'ouvrage retrace les circonstances d'un geste fondateur pour le futur directeur des éditions Allia.
