Abstract

L'ouvrage s'intéresse à la notion de densité selon de nouvelles perspectives, relevant non seulement de la planification urbaine, mais également de diverses disciplines (arts plastiques, son, architecture...). Il s'agit donc d'un recueil d'essais regroupant des études issues des champs divers des cultural studies, des sound studies, des arts plastiques et de l'architecture autour de la notion de densité, qui fait l'objet actuel d'un regain d'attention. 'Rethinking Density : Art, Culture, and Urban Practices' considers new perspectives and discussions related to the category of density, which for a long time has been part of urban-planning discourses and is now regaining the attention of artists and practitioners from a number of different disciplines. In an interplay of models, coping strategies, and experimental approaches, this publication combines research from cultural studies, artistic research, sound studies as well as architectural and urban theory. The issues discussed include the consideration of retroactive architectural design as a means to retrace the historical layers of a city, a proposal for space-sharing concepts as instruments for urban revitalization processes, and a case study on the potential for new sonic social spaces as subversive modes to undermine prevailing power structures.
