Summary:
"Zerox machine" is an immersive journey through the vibrant history of British punk and its associated fanzines from 1976 to 1988. Drawing on an extensive range of previously unpublished materials sourced from private collections across the United Kingdom, Matthew Worley describes and analyzes this transformative era, providing an intimate glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped a generation.

With meticulous research and insightful analysis, this book captures the spirit and essence of British youth culture, shedding new light on a pivotal movement in music history and offering a unique alternative history of Britain in the 1970s and ’80s.

Summary:
In Miniature Messages, Jack Child analyzes Latin American postage stamps, revealing the messages about history, culture, and politics encoded in their design and disseminated throughout the world. While postage stamps are a sanctioned product of official government agencies, Child argues that they accumulate popular cultural value and take on new meanings as they circulate in the public sphere. As he demonstrates in this richly illustrated study, the postage stamp conveys many of the contestations and triumphs of Latin American history. Child combines history and political science with philatelic research of nearly forty thousand Latin American stamps. He focuses on Argentina and the Southern Cone, highlighting stamps representing the consolidation of the Argentine republic and those produced under its Peronist regime. He compares Chilean stamps issued by the leftist government of Salvador Allende and by Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship. Considering postage stamps produced under other dictatorial regimes, he examines stamps from the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Paraguay. Child studies how international conflicts have been depicted on the stamps of Argentina, Chile, and Peru, and he pays particular attention to the role of South American and British stamps in establishing claims to the Malvinas/Falkland Islands and to Antarctica. He also covers the cultural and political history of stamps in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Grenada, Mexico, Uruguay, Venezuela and elsewhere. In Miniature Messages, Child finds the political history of modern Latin America in its “tiny posters.” Jack Child is a professor in the Department of Language and Foreign Studies at American University in Washington. He is the author of many books and articles on Latin American culture, translation, and geopolitics.

Summary:
Parmi les abondantes ressources du fonds Alberto Sartoris conservé aux Archives de la construction moderne, la collection de revues d'art et d'architecture constitue un ensemble capital. Son secteur le plus spectaculaire est celui des "revues d'avant-garde" des années 1920 et 1930. Vitrines de l'identité propre aux différents groupes qui les publient et de la communauté qui les lie, elles sont le support d'une expérimentation visuelle foisonnante (typographie, construction de l'image). C'est elle qui justifie d'abord la sélection présentée ici, composée de couvertures emblématiques de quelque soixante titres célèbres ou - le plus souvent - méconnus. Mais ces images témoignent également d'un processus caractéristique, où les programmes utopistes et totalisants de l'avant-garde historique s'abîment dans la Crise pour se subordonner aux réalités d'une "architecture moderne" en voie d'institutionnalisation.
