Abstract

“A Few Model Palm Trees” is a remake, an interpretation, an appropriation, an adaption of Ed Ruscha’s famous book “A Few Palm Trees” from the 70s. Instead of using real palm trees, Roels makes use of downsized plastic trees that are used in architectural scale models, or that are used as children’s toys.&#13;&#13;Roels often works with (photographs of) palm trees. All palm trees look alike, and as a symbol the plants are highly recognizable. Historically they’re connected to victory, triumph, endurance, religion, hospitality, wealth, luxury, vacation, paradise but also to colonization, trade and globalization. Palm trees have meaning across cultures. By using photographs of palm trees, Roels makes the idea of copying, mimicking and representation (all part of the very fabric of photography) very tangible. Now he takes on the next step by appropriating Ed Ruscha’s book.

Abstract

Long description: Im 18. Jahrhundert standen Schriftsteller, Verleger und Gelehrte auch über die Grenzen der einzelnen Sprachräume hinaus miteinander im Kontakt. Briefwechsel, Reisen, Rezensionen und Übersetzungen trugen zur Verbreitung von Wissen und zur Entwicklung poetischer Formen und Gattungen bei. Es bildeten sich Netzwerke des Austauschs. Mit der Erstübersetzung des Aufsatzes Zur Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie. Einige Klarstellungen von Bruno Latour (1996) steht im ersten Teil des vorliegenden Bandes ein theoretischer Ansatz im Zentrum, der an historischen Fallstudien getestet wird. Im zweiten Teil wird ausgehend von einer Übersetzung von Gisèle Sapiros Netzwerke, Institution(en) und Feld (2006) die Empfehlung diskutiert, quantitative, feldtheoretische Analysen um Parameter individueller Verbindungen zu erweitern, um auch weniger reglementierte Bereiche des Literaturbetriebs des 18. Jahrhunderts beschreiben zu können. Der dritte Teil schließlich versammelt Beiträge zur Literatur der europäischen Aufklärung, die sich auf soziologische Theorien ebenso beziehen wie auf ein metaphorisches Verständnis von und vom Netzwerken.

Abstract

"Retournée à son point de départ, la Critique absolue a clos son cycle spéculatif et par là même le cycle de sa propre existence. Son mouvement ultérieur n'est que pur mouvement circulaire sur soi, bien au-dessus de tout intérêt de masse, et par conséquent sans le moins intérêt désormais pour la Masse." Marx et Engels se rencontrent en juillet 1844 et décident de rédiger un pamphlet contre leurs anciens amis jeunes-hégéliens pour en finir avec leur "vieille conscience philosophique". C'est La Sainte Famille, ouvrage publié en février 1845. Le point de vue critique qu'ils adoptent contre Bruno Bauer et les Jeunes hégéliens s'étend aussi à Eugène Sue, à Proudhon, et à d'autres figures de la modernité d'alors qui font l'objet d'une ironie acerbe et éclairée. Cet ouvrage constitue donc une étape décisive de leur cheminement intellectuel commun. La Sainte famille est un document exceptionnel sur l'état d'esprit de ces deux jeunes philosophes et publicistes qui affirment ici leur matérialisme et font leur premier pas vers le communisme. Cette nouvelle édition est la réimpression du volume La Sainte famille, publié aux Éditions sociales en 1972.

Abstract

The rapidity of postwar globalization and the structural changes it has brought to both social and spatial aspects of everyday life has meant, in France as elsewhere, the destabilizing of senses of place, identity, and belonging, as once familiar, local environments are increasingly de-localized and made porous to global trends and planetary preoccupations. Maps and Territories identifies such preoccupations as a fundamental underlying impetus for the contemporary French novel. Indeed, like France itself, the protagonists of its best fiction are constantly called upon to renegotiate their identity in order to maintain any sense of belonging within the troubled territories they call home. Maps and Territories reads today's French novel for how it re-maps such territories, and for how it positions its protagonists vis-à-vis the pressures of globalization, uncovering previously unseen affinities amongst, and offering fresh readings of-and offering exciting new perspectives on-a diverse set of authors: namely, Michel Houellebecq, Chloé Delaume, Lydie Salvayre, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Virginie Despentes, Philippe Vasset, Jean Rolin, and Marie Darrieussecq. In the process, it sets the literary works into dialogue with a range of today's most influential theorists of postmodernity and globalization, including Paul Virilio, Marc Augé, Peter Sloterdijk, Bruno Latour, Fredric Jameson, Edward Casey, David Harvey, and Ursula K. Heise.

Abstract

The 2019/20 issue of 'The Serving Library Annual' is entirely devoted to the late Italian designer, artist, inventor and polymath Bruno Munari. The core of the annual is the first English translation of 'Obvious Code' (Cioice ovvio), the 1971 collection of Munari's own writings, sketches and poems about his own work, published by arrangement with Corraini, who issued the book's anastatic edition in 2017. It includes iconic design objects such as the Abitacolo, ground-breaking artworks such as his 1952 series of hand-made projection slides, and little known rhymes about the art market, as well as an original piece from his "unreadable books" series. In the margins, dozens of artists, designers, writers and curators have been invited to annotate Munari's texts - with a sketch or a quotation, an in-depth analysis, a fragment of conversation, a free association - as a testament to the depth of the influence exerted on international art by an often underacknowledged pioneer, whose visual experiments were so iconic as to become a self-evident part of visual culture, an anonymous invention: an obvious code.

Abstract

"On Active Grounds considers the themes of agency and time through the burgeoning, interdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities. Fourteen essays and a photo album cover topics such as environmental practices and history, temporal literacy, graphic novels, ecocinema, ecomusicology, animal studies, Indigeneity, wolf reintroduction, environmental history, green conservatism, and social-ecological systems change. The book also speaks to the growing concern regarding environmental issues in the aftermath of the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP21) and the election of Donald Trump in the United States. This collection is organized as a written and visual appeal to issues such as time (how much is left?) and agency (who is active? what can be done? what does and does not work?). It describes problems and suggests solutions. On Active Grounds is unique in its explicit and twinned emphasis on time and agency in the context of the Environmental Humanities and a requisite interdisciplinarity."--

Abstract

Cet ouvrage offre une combinaison d'études de cas et d'entretiens théoriques avec des architectes et urbanistes : Christopher Choa (AECOM), Bruno Fortier (Agence Bruno Fortier, Finn Geipel (LIN), Adriaan Geuze (West 8, Djamel Klouche (AUC), Winy Maas (MVRDV), Dennis Pieprz (Sasaki Associates), Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk (DPZ), Albert Speer (AS+P) with Michael Denkel, Paola Viganò (Studio Paola Viganò), Liu Xiaodu (Urbanus) with Wang Hui, Wenyi Zhu (ZhuWenyi-Atelier). L'ensemble tente de répondre aux multiples questions et problématiques engendrées par les mutations des pratiques dans le domaine de l'urbanisme depuis les années 1980 jusqu'à nos jours. Over the timespan of just one generation the planet's pace of urbanization has dramatically increased. Through these dynamics and its resulting environmental threats, new challenges have emerged that deeply question the validity of the post-war planning paradigms. Dominant ideologies have been replaced by a problem-solving attitude, increased economic pressure and an urgent quest for evidence. What impact does this have on the work of the urban designer and planner, and how can the profession prepare for the future? 'Designing Change' tries to answer these and many other questions through in-depth conversations with 12 leading practitioners in the field : Christopher Choa (AECOM), Bruno Fortier (Agence Bruno Fortier), Finn Geipel (LIN) Adriaan Geuze (West 8), Djamel Klouche (AUC), Winy Maas (MVRDV) Dennis Pieprz (Sasaki Associates), Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk (DPZ), Albert Speer (AS+P) with Michael Denkel, Paola Vigano (Studio Paola Vigano), Liu Xiaodu (Urbanus) with Wang Hui, Wenyi Zhu (ZhuWenyi-Atelier). Conceived as an unpartisan contribution to the discourse about the future of the built environment, 'Designing Change' offers an unorthodox combination of case-study analysis and theoretical debate. It addresses the topic's complexity through a rigorous focus on process, client relationship and development initiative.
