De acuerdo. Soy consciente de que el título de la anterior entrada era un reclamo excesivo. Para los que os hayáis quedado con las ganas ahí va, ahora sí en persona, esta entrevista a Henri Lefebvre que circula hace mucho en YouTube. Treinta y tantos minutos para disfrutar de este pedazo de intelectual:
Maps, for easier legibility are simplifications of actual places. Through mapping projections – the practice of transforming the three-dimensional surface of the earth onto a two-dimensional plane – the graphic description of the landscape generally represents a version of a landscape that is greatly distorted from reality. Perimeters and cartographic grids constitute a network of lines on the landscape that determine and define place.

It is not her portraits or the road trip photographs, nor her scientific work for which Berenice Abbott will be remembered. Firstly, she will always be remembered as the person who photographed Eugene Atget in 1927 just before he died and who bought the remainder of his negatives (after the French government had bought over 2,000 in 1920 and another 2,000 had been sold after his death).
When talking about the suburbs, we can think on many concepts: urban sprawl, area outside a town or city, inner political boundaries, and consumption among others. The first well-known suburbs were born in North America exploded during the post-World War II economic expansion. In the current times the most obvious economic expansion worldwide is the Internet, and for Andreas Angelidakis…
Gordon Matta-Clark, Reality Properties: Fake Estates, 1973-74
Uranculturalstudies’ recent post, “Deconstructing Reality: Gordon Matta-Clark” highlighting Matta-Clark’s well known body of work ‘building cuts’ (architectural interventions consisting of the strategic removal of building parts) got me thinking about Matta-Clark’s Fake Estates. In 1973 and 1974, Gordon Matta-Clark purchased, at New York City auctions, fifteen “gutterspace” properties – unusually small slivers of land from the city through anomalies in surveying, zoning and public works expansion.
Reblogged from The Funambulist:
This image is an excerpt from the short film The Road to Jerusalem created by artist Jeremy Hutchison. The movie shows him riding his bike in Ramallah in direction to Jerusalem. When approaching the sadly famous separation barrier, the biker seems not to see it and continue his route as if the road was still open like few years ago.
Total Landscape, Theme Parks, Public Space employs the theme park in identifying, dissecting and describing the properties of PROPASt – privately-owned publicly accessible space in a themed mode – a hybrid form of public space emerging in urban environments worldwide Mitrasinovic does not propose that theme parks and PROPASt are, or will ever become, desirable substitutes for democratic public space, but deliberately cuts across the theme park model in order to understand the principle of systematic totality employed when such a model is used to revitalize urban public space in the United States, Asia and Europe.

Here’s the last one. Which lines are from Bergson’s texts, and which are from Lefebvre’s?

Here’s the second of three. Which lines are Bergson’s and which are Lefebvre’s?
Reblogged from urbanculturalstudies:
Philosophers Henri Bergson (1859-1941) and Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991) said some remarkably similar things on space if not also cities (despite the fact that Lefebvre “hated Bergson’s guts” as scholar Andy Merrifield has accurately reported) .
This mash-up is a result of the fact that I evidently had too much time on my hands and decided to work my way through some internet problems: file conversions, uploading audio, text2speech…
Urban Cultural Studies posted “The City as You’ve Never Seen it Before” and it got me thinking about mapping and the Situationist Interntional. The Situationist International, an international group of revolutionary artists, philosophers and architects, was founded in 1957. The S.I. fought against the capitalist system and advocated for an alternative life style. In response to the city model Parisian urban planners were developing, the S.I.
CHALLENGE: The “nav-u” U35 is a personal navigation device you can put on a bicycle. We wanted to demonstrate the device by using the attractions of Tokyo, a city whose roads developed in irregular and complex ways.
IDEA: Using the running log function of the bicycle navigation system, we started the project by drawing gigantic animal geoglyphs over Tokyo. People tweet what animals they want us to draw.

Alors qu’en province les grandes villes se soulèvent, en Algérie une insurrection réclame la Commune ! Le Père Trankil, croisé ce matin dans le XIIIème arrondissement, se félicite du communiqué des insurgés algériens qui a été publié ce matin. Déclarant « adhérer de façon la plus absolue à la Commune de Paris », il déplore que cette déclaration datée du 28 mars ne soit pas parvenue plus tôt à Paris.
DISPOSITIF THEATRAL COMMUNIQUANT & INTELLIGENT
Nous vivons dans un monde sous surveillance : plus personne n’oserait en douter. Mais quelle forme prennent aujourd’hui les nouveaux dispositifs de contrôle et en quoi sont-ils différents des pratiques du siècle dernier ? Comment modifient-ils notre rapport au monde et aux autres ? Vont-ils jusqu’à menacer le droit à la vie privée ? Globale Surveillance dresse une zone spatiale hypersurveillée, à l’intérieur de laquelle acteurs et spectateurs sont soumis à quantité de procédures de traçabilité rendues visibles, a contrario de nombreux mécanismes quotidiennement à l’œuvre et marqués par le phénomène angoissant de l’invisibilité.
