Ruth Kaplan's journey began in the nudist hot springs of California in 1991. By participating in the baths, Kaplan gradually became accepted, and was able to make photographs of her fellow bathers, occupying the dual role of voyeur and participant. From California she then traveled to Eastern Europe, seeking a more traditional form of the practice in the spa towns of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Romania. The unique display of individual body types and ages became a component of the work, as did the decaying architecture of the interiors. She then traveled to higher-tech spas in Germany, France, Italy, and Denmark, completing the series in 2002 in Moroccan hamams and Icelandic hot springs.0Hedonism, decadence, sensuality, innocence, and social bonding were some of the underlying themes that emerged, but what drew Kaplan to the baths was the powerful physicality, the way in which people manifested themselves through their bodies, and the psychological presence they evoked. The waters became a backdrop to this exploration. With the migration from analog to digital that took hold during the 1990s, and escalating concerns surrounding individual privacy, these photographs have come to stand as a unique document of a subject difficult to photograph at the best of times, but nearly impossible to achieve currently without staging them. Along with the bizarre juxtapositions of body and place that sometimes occurred, these images reveal and celebrate the experience of immersion into water-physicality and transcendence.

Il volume documenta l'attività fotografica di Edoardo Detti, un aspetto forse 'laterale' ma affascinante ed essenziale per comprendere la sua personalità e il suo lavoro. Della figura di Detti si conoscono le molte opere e progetti realizzati autonomamente o nella lunga collaborazione con Carlo Scarpa, l'intensa azione di tutela del territorio toscano, l'importante ruolo politico e culturale come assessore all'urbanistica del Comune di Firenze e come presidente dell'Istituto Nazionale di Urbanistica. Meno nota e indagata è la sua peculiare poetica, così profondamente intrecciata tra sensibilità architettonica e intima adesione alla misura e alle qualità del paesaggio toscano, attitudine di cui questo volume offre preziose chiavi di lettura.

Cette étude formule l'hypothèse critique d'une opération de remythologisation par une réactualisation théologico-politique de la tragédie chez Heidegger. Cette opération ne saurait simplement coïncider avec une revalorisation « irrationnelle » du mythe, car elle procède d'abord d'une mise en question, non moins problématique, de la dualité supposée entre muthos et logos pour culminer dans ce qu'une note des années 1950 appellera la « mythologie de l'événement ». La réélaboration de la notion de mythe s'accomplit à partir du poème de Hölderlin qui doit préfigurer les dieux de l'« autre commencement » post-judéo-chrétien, selon le projet spéculatif d'une « religion » censée relier le peuple à ses dieux nouveaux via l'être comme événement. L'hypothèse d'une remythologisation théologico-politique doit ainsi permettre d'éclairer non seulement le rôle matriciel de Hölderlin pour la pensée de l'être, mais aussi le surinvestissement illusoire du national-socialisme censé donner lieu au « peuple de Hölderlin ». Pour interroger cette réactualisation théologico-politique du mythe, l'étude se concentre sur les cours que Heidegger consacra à Hölderlin, tout en sollicitant l'intégralité du corpus des années 1933-1945, c'est-à-dire les cours fribourgeois, les traités inédits rédigés dans le sillage des Beiträge et les Schwarze Hefte.

'Nothing but Clouds' were the words used by the research commission in Andrey Tarkovsky's 1986 film 'Solaris' to deny video evidenced traces of alien life on the planet. Taking this disclaimer as the title, this meditative book by Kristina Jurotschkin brings together images, made in various places in Europe over numerous years, from her photographic archive. The result is a possible archive of the future of our present, or an archaeological survey anticipated for the future. Examining the construction of our social reality, Jurotschkin presents alienating views of everyday spaces.
