Summary:
En sortant de l'école d'art, Elise Legal parcourt un monde de crises économiques, d'absurdités politiques et d'angoisses écologiques. Un monde dans lequel elle doit désormais légitimer sa démarche artistique dans des dossiers qui en font une fiction. Problèmes de localisation contient sept textes, composés d'analyses critiques, de récits personnels et de poèmes, qui racontent cette entrée dans un environnement où circulent les corps, les marchandises, les informations et les capitaux. Elise Legal s'y déplace en voiture, en co-voiturage, en train, en bus ou en avion, découvrant ce que ce monde de transaction et de fluidité fait au langage. Elle cherche à comprendre comment il est incarné, échangé et habité dans les voix des pilotes d'avion, des startupers ou du président de la République, dans les textes de loi, les formulaires de demandes de bourses, la parole de ses enseigant·es, dans les textes de théorie critique comme dans la poésie des banquiers.

Summary:
In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island’s flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson’s work, most famously in her bestselling novel ''The Summer Book'' and her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, ''Moomin''. Tove’s signature spare, quirky prose, and Tooti’s subtle ink washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty, a chronicle of living peacefully in nature and observing the island’s ecology and character. ''Notes from an Island'' is both a work of artistic collaboration and an homage to the deep love the two women shared. One feels as if Jansson’s journal, with Tooti’s sketches tucked inside, has been unearthed like a treasure from under a pile of old quilts in the back of their rustic cabin.

Summary:
Pour ériger ces « Villes indivisibles » - et rendre hommage à leur confrère Italo Calvino et à ses « Villes invisibles » - les membres de l'Oulipo (OUvroir de LIttérature POtentielle) se sont penchés, sous forme fictionnelle, sur la ville dans ses grandes lignes et ses petits détails. « Les villes indivisibles » reprennent la structure des « Villes invisibles » d'italo Calvino (55 vignettes urbaines divisées en 11 familles), tout en mettant à jour ses catégories thématiques, afin d'interroger ce qui constitue la ville contemporaine et future : les ressources, l'aménagement, le travail, la maladie, la diversité, la coexistence délicate du monde naturel avec son homologue virtuel. Les membres de l'Oulipo ont dressé un tableau de 55 sujets actuels de recherche et de débat, en collaboration avec une équipe d'urbanistes et de climatologues sous l'égide du GIEC. Pour chacun, ils ont conçu et développé le portrait d'une ville dont ce sujet sert de moteur narratif.
