Résumé:
'We' takes place in a distant future, where humans are forced to submit their wills to the requirements of the state, under the rule of the all-powerful Benefactor, and dreams are regarded as a sign of mental illness. In a city of straight lines, protected by green walls and a glass dome, a spaceship is being built in order to spearhead the conquest of new planets. Its chief engineer, a man called D-503, keeps a journal of his life and activities: to his mathematical mind everything seems to make sense and proceed as it should, until a chance encounter with a woman threatens to shatter the very foundations of the world he lives in. Written in a highly charged, direct and concise style, Zamyatin's 1921 seminal novel is not only an indictment of the Soviet Russia of his time and a precursor of the works of Orwell and the dystopian genre, but also a prefiguration of much of twentieth-century history and a harbinger of the ominous future that may still lay ahead of us.

Résumé:
'' Love of worker bees,'' written by one of the most famous and gifted Russian authors of the twentieth century, was greeted on publication in 1923 as too sexually explicit. The book collects three works of fiction, ''Vasilisa Malygina,'' ''Three Generations,'' and ''Sisters,'' creating a powerful love story with a graphic and a rare portrayal of Russian life in the 1920s. The first piece is set in Russia after the October Revolution and the Civil War, The heroine Vasya struggles to come to terms with her husband and the demands of the new world in which she lives. The second story depicts the way in which three generations of women differ in their attitudes and expectations; and ''Sisters'' is a story of a deserted wife and a prostitute who find a common bond. Each story unfolds against a backdrop populated by the ''ordinary'' Russian people of the time- Party workers, entrepreneurs, prostitutes, manipulators, and idealists.

In this Eurasian post-Soviet space, we try to find the continuities with Communism - if there are any - and the remnants of revolutions both distant and recent.

Résumé:
In this Eurasian post-Soviet space, we try to find the continuities with Communism - if there are any - and the remnants of revolutions both distant and recent. Instead of a wistful journey through ruins, this intends to be an engaged travelogue, a subjective, personal Marxist Humanist guidebook to somewhere that actually exists, but which is constantly haunted by what it didn't become, whether a real Communist utopia or a successful or fair capitalism. In the course of this transcontinental account of what used to be the Soviet Union and is now a patchwork of EU democracies, neoliberal dictatorships and Soviet nostalgic enclaves (often found in the same countries) we might just find the outlines of a way of building cities that is a powerful alternative, both in the past and present.

Avec une indomptable énergie créatrice et sans se préoccuper des frontières, il a utilisé le collage et le photo-montage pour détourner des images et créer des associations insolites.

Résumé:
Building Subjects, the fourth issue of Standpunkte Magazine, is a collaboration between the architect De Peter Yi, the art historian Nancy P. Lin, and the graphic design studios Normal and Some All None. The publication revolves around collective housing in China, an architectural challenge expressive of the country's ongoing negotiations between its rich history and undetermined future. The study combines typological research with the modes of the architectural manifesto by establishing an exchange between cultural-historical observations, the consideration of contemporary socio-economic pressures, and evolving architectural aspirations. Through a close reading of spaces from monumental utopian communes in Beijing to round earthen dwellings in the Fujian province, Building Subjects stages collective housing as a key to residential architecture in China. The publication is simultaneously inward and outward looking, and this duality is also reflected in its meticulously composed layout: documentary photography and detailed axonometric drawings are juxtaposed to establish a correspondence between old and new, between reality and projection.

Bref, nous ne nous occuperons pas de la conception du monde de Chaplin, mais de sa perception du monde, de sa capacité à appréhender la vie, laquelle engendre les conceptions inimitables, uniques, de ce qu'on appelle l'humour chaplinien... »
