Book Description
What is the cultural dimension of sustainability? This book offers a thought-provoking answer, with a theoretical synthesis on »cultures of sustainability«. Describing how modernity degenerated into a culture of unsustainability, to which the arts are contributing, Sacha Kagan engages us in a fundamental rethinking of our ways of knowing and seeing the world. We must learn not to be afraid of complexity, and to re-awaken a sensibility to patterns that connect. With an overview of ecological art over the past 40 years, and a discussion of art and social change, the book assesses the potential role of art in a much needed transformation process.

Book Description
This book explores ‘environmental forms’ in terms of their relationships to the socio-politico-ecological transformations currently in progress. Today, the environment is a central theme in political discourse, scientific work and everyday life. It is multi-dimensional: it is a living space, a socio-ecological system and a field of research and action. However, despite the presence and diversity of existing approaches, the ways in which policies address environmental issues remain mainly focused on control, highlighting the techno-ecological, managerial and curative dimensions of public actions. Although public action tends to instrumentalise the environment, the humanities and social sciences have initiated significant reflections in this field, proposing alternative ways of thinking about the environment in its multiple aspects and scales. As part of ‘another approach’ to the environment that mirrors contemporary developments, this book adopts a form-based approach which has been largely neglected by previous studies dealing with environmental themes. The analyses provided here will open up a new perspective on the relationships between people, aesthetics and environments, and are drawn from different schools of research, highlighting the huge potential of reading the environment through forms or, conversely, a reading of environmental forms.

Book Description
L'autrice ci mette davanti ad un cambiamento del comportamento nel rapporto dell'umanità nei confronti delle problematiche della pianificazione. […] Certo gli umani sono capaci di fare un paesaggio a mano, potrebbe addirittura essere una delle più belle maniere di agire sul territorio. (dalla presentazione di Gilles Clément) Fausta Occhipinti con “Paesaggi fatti a mano” ci propone un tema ambizioso, una sistematica revisione dei metodi e degli strumenti dello studio del paesaggio nell’università italiana, partendo dall’intuizione che sia necessario introdurre una sperimentazione applicata in costante confronto con i corsi teorici, e questo nel momento più recessivo della nostra storia recente, mentre il nostro Paese sta meticolosamente disinvestendo sul paesaggio, revocando anche quel poco che si era fatto, in particolare nelle scuole di architettura. (dalla presentazione di Franco Zagari) Come si diventa paesaggisti? Come si insegna il progetto di paesaggio? Questo ebook indaga il ruolo strategico della didattica di terreno nelle scuole di architettura del paesaggio in Europa. La ricerca mette in luce la relazione tra la formazione del paesaggista e il suo riconoscimento istituzionale in diversi contesti europei, con particolare riferimento a quello italiano e francese. Ne emerge che la scuola del paesaggio ideale dovrebbe intensificare l’interdisciplinarità applicata a casi reali, sperimentando sul campo, e orientare il progetto verso una committenza reale, migliorando il rapporto tra scuola e istituzioni, mondo professionale e società.

Book Description
Thanks to the ICT economy, today's world is witnessing a gradual process of transfer and displacement from a society based on the production of man-made material goods to a new society driven by science and knowledge. This new society uses human intelligence to try to solve cultural problems, to sustain activities, to rationalize performances, and to plan, program and develop strategies and projects for the future. This book therefore proposes a multi-faceted framework through which contemporary art, biology, digital science, geology, technology, physiology, chemistry, and philosophy enter into debate and complement each other. It is structured around a number of logically interconnected questions, such as: “What is bio-art?”, “Can a laboratory artist manipulate living beings, perform complex hybridizations, and give birth to chimeras that would coexist with human beings?”, “Do we have the right to use them?”, “Should we authorize research that will allow the development of these techniques, prohibit such research, or fund it?”, and, “Do we have the right to create embryos for transplantation or injection?”

Book Description
Collection of critical and analytical scholarly essays on the music of Ravel by prominent scholars. Unmasking Ravel: New Perspectives on the Music fills a unique place in Ravel studies by combining critical interpretation and analytical focus. From the premiere of his works up to the present, Ravel has been associated with masks and the related notions of artifice and imposture. This has led scholars to perceive a lack of depth in his music and, consequently, to discourage investigation of his musical language. This volume balances and interweavesthese modes of inquiry. Part 1, "Orientations and Influences," illuminates the sometimes contradictory aesthetic, biographical, and literary strands comprising Ravel's artistry and our understanding of it. Part 2, "Analytical Case Studies," engages representative works from Ravel's major genres using a variety of methodologies, focusing on structural process and his complex relation to stylistic convention. Part 3, "Interdisciplinary Studies," integratesmusical analysis and art criticism, semiotics, and psychoanalysis in creating novel methodologies. Contributors include prominent scholars of Ravel's and fin-de-siècle music: Elliott Antokoletz, Gurminder Bhogal, Sigrun B. Heinzelmann, Volker Helbing, Steven Huebner, Peter Kaminsky, Barbara Kelly, David Korevaar, Daphne Leong, Michael Puri, and Lauri Suurpää. Peter Kaminsky is Professor of Music at the University of Connecticut, Storrs.

Book Description
L’histoire récente des sciences va de la représentation de la nature, avec l’émergence des disciplines scientifiques qui l’étudient, jusqu’à une présentation de la nature opérée par les résultats et les projections des écologues. Ce processus historique se caractérise par une modification profonde de l’idée de nature depuis le début du XIXe siècle. Il aboutit à la conception de la nature comme un ensemble dynamique reliant tous les êtres vivants et leurs environnements dans un processus de changement perpétuel et autorégulé. Cette conception a des implications nombreuses en science et en technique, en éthique et en morale, mais aussi, et cela rarement considéré, en esthétique. L’écologie a largement inspiré des figures esthétiques nouvelles. Des artistes, urbanistes ou designers relient esthétique et écologie par des réalisations concrètes : coulées vertes, installations éphémères en matériaux naturels, esthétisation directe des objets et des vivants, œuvres in situ dans les espaces naturels, etc. Ce qui se joue implicitement dans ces œuvres est symptomatique de la diffusion de la responsabilité écologique. Ces expériences se rattachent au champ du savoir, de la technique, de l’industrie et de l’aménagement du territoire, l’esthétique n’est donc plus décorellée de notre rapport quotidien au monde. Rassemblées sous la notion d’esthétique verte, c’est un processus vers une réconciliation avec notre environnement qui se déploie. Mais le changement est progressif, complexe, et des formes d’appréhension de la nature différentes voire opposées coexistent. En les distinguant, l’importance de l’écologie en art et dans la culture commune s’en trouve renforcée. Enfin, l’expérience esthétique peut servir de levier à la transition de notre rapport au monde ; c’est à partir de cette expérience sensible, ancrée dans l’individu vivant, que se développent les convictions nouvelles et les comportements qui constituent aujourd’hui une culture écologique. L’esthétique verte décrit aussi comment ce levier est activé auprès du public, par la sensibilisation, l’art ou la publicité. Loïc Fel est né en 1981. Docteur en philosophie de l’Université de Paris-1-Panthéon-Sorbonne, il est responsable du développement durable en agence de publicité.
