Perhaps the brevity of short fiction accounts for the relatively scant attention devoted to it by scholars, who have historically concentrated on longer prose narratives. The Geographies of African American Short Fiction seeks to fill this gap by analyzing the ways African American short story writers plotted a diverse range of characters across multiple locations-small towns, a famous metropolis, city sidewalks, a rural wooded area, apartment buildings, a pond, a general store, a prison, and more. In the process, these writers highlighted the extents to which places and spaces shaped or situated racial representations. Presenting African American short story writers as cultural cartographers, author Kenton Rambsy documents the variety of geographical references within their short stories to show how these authors make cultural spaces integral to their artwork and inscribe their stories with layered and resonant social histories. The history of these short stories also documents the circulation of compositions across dozens of literary collections for nearly a century. Anthology editors solidified the significance of a core group of short story authors including James Baldwin, Toni Cade Bambara, Charles Chesnutt, Ralph Ellison, Zora Neale Hurston, and Richard Wright. Using quantitative information and an extensive literary dataset, The Geographies of African American Short Fiction explores how editorial practices shaped the canon of African American short fiction.

Challenging mainstream architecture's understandings of place, this book offers an illuminating clarification that allows the idea's centrality, in all aspects of everyday design thinking, to be rediscovered or considered for the first time. Rigorous but not dense, practical but not trivialising, the book unfolds on three fronts. First, it clearly frames the pertinent aspects of topology-the philosophy of place-importantly differentiating two concepts that architecture regularly conflates: place and space. Second, it rejects the ubiquitous notion that architecture "makes place" and, instead, reasons that place is what makes architecture and the built environment possible; that place "calls" for and to architecture; and that architecture is thus invited to "listen" and respond. Finally, it turns to the matter of designing responses that result not just in more places of architecture (demanding little of design), nor merely in architecture with some "sense of place" (demanding little more), but, rising above those, responses that constitute an architecture of place (demanding the greatest vigilance but offering the utmost freedom). Opening up a term regarded as so common that its meaning is seldom considered, the author reveals the actual depth and richness of place, its innateness to architecture, and its essentiality to practitioners, clients, educators, and students-in architecture and all spatial disciplines.

Dans ce livre au style très personnel, Jacynthe Tremblay relate la manière dont sa vie a été profondément marquée par sa rencontre avec le philosophe japonais Nishida Kitarō (1870-1945) au fil de son histoire quotidienne longue de deux décennies au Japon et en Chine. On y retrouvera des détails de la vie du philosophe, des exemples tirés de la culture japonaise ou encore des réflexions sur la musique de Bach, qui forment un cadre cohérent pour appréhender la pensée nishidienne. C'est ainsi que l'on pourra comprendre les concepts, déterminants, du «lieu» et de l'«altérité absolue», qui ont pour fonction de montrer comment l'être humain - dégagé d'une subjectivité autocentrée - peut entrer en relation avec les autres. Ainsi abordée, la philosophie de Nishida, selon l'interprétation simple mais très audacieuse qu'en fait l'auteur, devient accessible à tous et rejoint la densité de la vie.
