Habitar la Terra
Contra tot pronòstic, afirmar que el final de la modernitat i la catàstrofe ecològica són una realitat pot tenir més a veure amb l?esperança i la vida que amb la fallida i el derrotisme. Es tracta, això sí, d?assumir que el repte del pensament polític actual és el de reflexionar des del cor del drama, de fer-ho collectivament i de gosar especular des de la imaginació més radical i imprevista.Aquest ha estat el propòsit de Bruno Latour. La seva veu, recollida en les converses d?aquest llibre, ens convida a posar en relació la tecnologia, el dret, la ciència, la filosofia, l?art, l?ecologia, la religió i la sociologia per avançar junts per nous camins i fer habitable la Terra.

Peeters Publishers Philosophie et langage ordinaire: De l'Antiquité à la Renaissance
La philosophie entretient un rapport ambigu au langage ordinaire. Tantôt elle l’a répudié comme inadapté, égarant, source d’illusions, tantôt elle y a vu une voie d’accès à la réalité, voire la voie d’accès par excellence à celle-ci. Contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait penser, cette problématique n’est pas typique des philosophies moderne et contemporaine. Elle émerge dès l’aube de la philosophie et l’accompagne tout au long de son histoire. Ce volume présente, sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, une palette représentative de positions différentes prises par des penseurs de l’Antiquité, du Moyen ge et de la Renaissance. Les présocratiques (Parménide et Xénophane), Aristote, les stoïciens, l’épicurien Polystrate, Sextus Empiricus, Abélard, Jean Buridan, Pic de la Mirandole, Montaigne, Francis Bacon et Giordano Bruno sont ainsi étudiés sous un angle neuf et stimulant.

Peeters Publishers Rewriting Recent Music History: The Development of Early Serialism 1947-1957
This volume sheds new light on the origins of early serial music at the end of the 1940s and the beginning of the 1950s. Current music historical accounts of the development of serial music need to be revised in two ways. It is important to correct both the Eurocentric approach and the exclusive attention to the already well-documented 'heroes' of serial music (Boulez, Stockhausen, Nono, Pousseur). The significance of Milton Babbitt is put into perspective, as are the idiosyncratic contributions by Herman Van San, Karel Goeyvaerts, Michel Fano, Jean Barraque or Bruno Maderna. The contributions to this collected volume deal with the historical position of these composers by analyzing their composition techniques and aesthetical frameworks. In addition, Brian Ferneyhough clarifies his relationship with the legacy of early serial music.

Transcript Verlag Futures of Modernity: Challenges for Cosmopolitical Thought and Practice
Global risks, mobilities and interdependencies transnationalize local life and working worlds. These processes lead to an inner globalization of societies in which worldwide constellations of "reflexive" (Ulrich Beck), "multiple" (Shmuel N. Eisenstadt), "entangled" (Shalini Randeria) and "global" (Arjun Appadurai) modernities simultaneously and immediately clash in social action: a process of cosmopolitanization in which "the global" is localized and "the local" is globalized in radical new ways. In this book, an international selection of prominent critical thinkers address this premise and provide their interpretations of imminent challenges, concomitant social dynamics and political implications.With contributions by Arjun Appadurai, Zygmunt Bauman, Ulrich Beck, Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim, Edgar Grande, Maarten Hajer, Ronald Hitzler, Wolf Lepenies, Anna Tsing, Angela McRobbie, Bruno Latour, Ted Nordhaus & Michael Shellenberger, Hans-Georg Soeffner, Natan Sznaider, Anja Weiß and Yunxiang Yan.

JOVIS Verlag Berlin & Berlin: Stadtplanung nach dem Mauerfall
Nach dem Mauerfall waren in Berlin völlig neuartige Planungsaufgaben zu bewältigen. Die Teilung war zu überwinden, und in kürzester Zeit mussten Konzepte für die noch ungewisse Zukunft der Stadt entwickelt und in die Tat umgesetzt werden. Welche Konzepte entstanden, wie die Entscheidungsprozesse organisiert, welche Konflikte (nicht) gelöst wurden und wie sich zentrale Beschlüsse seither bewährt haben, daran erinnern sich fünfzehn damals verantwortliche Planer*innen aus Ost- und West- Berlin. In Interviews über die herausfordernde Aufbruchszeit vermitteln die Zeitzeug*innen ein lebendiges Bild von der Stimmung der ersten fünf Jahre und berichten von Zusammenhängen und Hintergründen. Abbildungen von teils noch unveröffentlichten Planungen erlauben einen neuen Blick auf das Berlin der frühen 1990er. Mit Beiträgen von Dorothee Dubrau, Bruno Flierl, Volker Hassemer, Bernd Hunger, Urs Kohlbrenner, Ulla Luther und anderen sowie Stadtfotos von E.-J. Ouwerkerk

Canizales was the son of a former government minister and the lover of a drug lord's daughter, and he nurtured a penchant for cross-dressing and edgy sex. But why did the assassin use a silver bullet? And why, six days later, did he apparently strike again? Mendieta's hunt for the killer takes him from mansions to low-life bars, from gumshoe reporters to glamourous transsexuals. Unearthing the truth can be as dangerous as any drug.

Here, 140 works, all selected from the collections of the Intesa Sanpaolo bank, serve to highlight the climate, atmosphere and fabric of the time. All the key Italian artists of this fruitful period are represented in the volume, from Fontana to Vedova, from Manzoni to Guttuso, from Kounellis to Merz.

Arquine Javier Senosiain - Organic Architecture
To survey the work of Mexican architect Javier Senosiain (born 1948) requires a journey through a particular trajectory in the history of architecture, from Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruno Zevi to Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen and Jørn Utzon. These pioneers of organic modernism faced the 20th century’s mechanistic, functionalistic and rationalistic proposals with a vision that sought to revive an organic relationship between humans and their environments. Senosiain’s concept of “Organic Architecture” follows in this tradition. Throughout his career, Senosiain’s work has explored the relations between user, site and architecture in spaces that echo natural forms and conditions. “The concept of an organic habitat,” he writes, “is the creation of spaces adapted to man that are also similar to a mother’s bosom or an animal’s lair.” This volume surveys Senosiain’s work since the 1970s and his concept of “Organic Architecture.”

Alianza Editorial Historias de almanaque
Las piezas incluidas por Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) en " Historias de almanaque " fueron escritas a lo largo de muchos años y dan en un primer momento la impresión de una heterogeneidad irreductible: poemas, narraciones que tienen como protagonistas a figuras históricas (Giordano Bruno, Francis Bacon, César o Sócrates), relatos que se desarrollan en tiempos remotos (la Guerra de los Treinta Años) o en la edad contemporánea (los últimos combates de la Segunda Guerra Mundial), aforismos y proverbios (como los expresados por el señor Keuner), etc. Sin embargo, un motivo central confiere unidad y coherencia al volumen: el comportamiento de los personajes y las situaciones dramáticas sirven de vehículo para el aleccionamiento moral, la destrucción de mitos, la crítica de prejuicios y la iluminación de zonas oscuras de la historia y de la sociedad humanas.

WW Norton & Co Are Universes Thicker Than Blackberries?: Discourses on Godel, Magic Hexagrams, Little Red Riding Hood, and Other Mathematical and Pseudoscientific Topics
Martin Gardner—"one of the most brilliant men and gracious writers I have ever known," wrote Stephen Jay Gould—is the wittiest, most devastating debunker of scientific fraud and chicanery of our time. In this new book Gardner explores startling scientific concepts, such as the possibility of multiple universes and the theory that time can go backwards. Armed with his expert, skeptical eye, he examines the bizarre tangents produced by Freudians and deconstructionists in their critiques of "Little Red Riding Hood," and reveals the fallacies of pseudoscientific cures, from Dr. Bruno Bettelheim's erroneous theory of autism to the cruel farces of Facilitated Communication and Primal Scream Therapy. Ever prolific, and still engaging at the spry age of eighty-eight, Gardner has become an American institution unto himself, a writer to be celebrated.

Stanford University Press Eight Philosophers of the Italian Renaissance
Italian Renaissance thought has been gaining ever-increasing recognition as seminal to the thought of the whole Renaissance period, affecting in many subtle ways the development and understanding of artistic, literary, scientific, and religious movements. The importance, then, of this detailed and careful survey of Italy's leading Renaissance philosophers and the intricate philosophical problems of the time can scarcely be exaggerated. Based upon the 1961 Arensberg Lectures, given at Stanford University, this collection of essays offers a genuinely unified interpretation of Italian Renaissance thought by describing and evaluating the philosophies of eight pivotal figures: Petrarch, Valla, Ficino, Pico, Pomponazzi, Telesio, Patrizi, and Bruno. The essays not only discuss the life, writings, and main ideas of these eight thinkers, but also establish through a connective text, the place each of them occupies in the general intellectual development of the Italian Renaissance.

Transcript Verlag Actors and Networks in the Megacity – A Literary Analysis of Urban Narratives
This study is a concise introduction to Bruno Latour's Actor-Network Theory and its application in a literary analysis of urban narratives of the 21st century. We encounter well-known psycho-geographers such as Iain Sinclair and Sam Miller, and renowned authors, Patrick Neate and Suketu Mehta. Prachi More analyses these authors' accounts of vastly different cities such as London, Delhi, Mumbai, Johannesburg, New York and Tokyo. Are these urban narratives a contemporary solution to documenting an ever-evasive urban reality? If so, how do they embody "matters of concern" as Latour would have put it, laying bare modern-day "actors" and "networks" rather than reporting mere "matters of fact"? These questions are drawn into an inter-disciplinary discussion that addresses concerns and questions of epistemology, the sociology of knowledge as well as urban and documentary studies.

Orion Publishing Co Aegypt
There is more than one history of the world. Before science defined the modern age, other powers, wondrous and magical, once governed the universe, their lore perfected within a lost capital of hieroglyphs, wizard-kings, and fabulous monuments. In the 1970s, a historian named Pierce Moffett moves to the New England countryside to write a book about Ægypt, driven by an idea he dare not believe: that the physical laws of the universe once changed and may change again. Yet the notion is not his alone. Something waits at the locked estate of Fellowes Kraft, author of romances about Will Shakespeare and Giordano Bruno and Dr. John Dee, something for which Pierce and those near him have long sought without knowing it: a key, perhaps, to Ægypt ...Shortlisted for the WORLD FANTASY and ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARDs.

Park Books Neighbours: A Manifesto, a Play for Two Pavilions, and Ten Conversations
The Swiss Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale exhibits itself and the relations to its immediate surroundings. The exhibition is a conversation over the shared boundary of the pavilions of Switzerland (1952, designed by Bruno Giacometti) and Venezuela (1954, designed by Carlo Scarpa), the only two in the Giardini not fully detached: they share one wall. Artist Karin Sander and art historian Philip Ursprung temporarily open this wall and dismantle the gates from the Swiss Pavilion, thus revealing unanticipated connections between the two neighbours, both distant and close. The complementing book offers a manifesto, a play with the two buildings as dramatis personae, and three brief topical essays. Ten conversations with architectural historian Kurt W. Forster, photographers Paolo Gasparini and Guido Giudi, and Venezuelan architects Elisa Silva and Margarita López-Maya round off this volume.

Peeters Publishers (In)site Sagalassos
(In)site Sagalassos is het eerste fotoboek dat verschijnt over de archeologische site van Sagalassos.

Door de combinatie van grote en kleine foto's, details en overzichten, architectuur en landschap wordt dit boek tot een boeiend geheel verweven.

Indiana University Press Looking Jewish: Visual Culture and Modern Diaspora
Jewish art and visual culture—art made by Jews about Jews—in modern diasporic settings is the subject of Looking Jewish. Carol Zemel focuses on particular artists and cultural figures in interwar Eastern Europe and postwar America who blended Jewishness and mainstream modernism to create a diasporic art, one that transcends dominant national traditions. She begins with a painting by Ken Aptekar entitled Albert: Used to Be Abraham, a double portrait of a man, which serves to illustrate Zemel's conception of the doubleness of Jewish diasporic art. She considers two interwar photographers, Alter Kacyzne and Moshe Vorobeichic; images by the Polish writer Bruno Schulz; the pre- and postwar photographs of Roman Vishniac; the figure of the Jewish mother in postwar popular culture (Molly Goldberg); and works by R. B. Kitaj, Ben Katchor, and Vera Frenkel that explore Jewish identity in a postmodern environment.
