With cities becoming so vast, so entangled and perhaps so critically unsustainable, there is an urgent need for clarity around the subject of how we feed ourselves as an urban species. Urban food mapping becomes the tool to investigate the spatial relationships, gaps, scales and systems that underlie and generate what, where and how we eat, highlighting current and potential ways to (re)connect with our diet, ourselves and our environments.

Free Download Odilon Redon, "Beyond The Visible: The Art Of Odilon Redon"
English | 2005 | pages: 284 | ISBN: 0870707027 | PDF | 26,1 mb
Caught between description and dream, the felt and the imagined, French artist Odilon Redon, whose career bridged the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, transformed the natural world into nightmarish visions and bizarre fantasies. Closely allied with the Symbolist movement, Redon offered his own interpretations of literary, biblical and mythological subjects; created a universe of strange hybrid creatures; and presented landscape in a singular way: we see grinning disembodied teeth, smiling spiders, melancholic floating faces, winged chariots, unfamiliar plant life, and velvety black or colored swirls of atmosphere. With a recent gift from the Ian Woodner family, The Museum of Modern Art is now the site of the most significant body of the artist’s work outside France, and this book will showcase the full range of Redon’s varied oeuvre-charcoal "noirs," luminous pastels, richly textured canvases, literary collaborations and experiments in printmaking-and will illuminate the hold his particular kind of Modernism has had on both twentieth-century and contemporary artists.

Free Download Éloge du Visible: Fondements imaginaires de la science de Jean Clair
Français | 24 octobre 1996 | ISBN: 2070746755 | True EPUB | 228 pages | 25.98 MB
L’art, avant son déclin, était une connaissance, et le savoir, en retour, s’est toujours nourri de tout un patrimoine d’images inscrit dans notre grille mentale. La science réveille et irrite des rêveries très anciennes. Père du physicalisme, Fechner n’en croyait pas moins que les plantes sont douées de pensée. Berger, dans les tracés de son électroencéphalogramme, croyait avoir percé le secret de la télépathie. Chappe et Edison réalisent la fiction, narrée par Hérodote, des Ephésiens assiégés par Crésus, qui consacrent leur ville à Artémis et tirent, entre son temple et la muraille, un fil " télégraphique " pour se concilier sa puissance. La découverte technique s’enracine dans un fonds irrationnel et la rigueur du logos scientifique dissimule mal l’emprise dont il se nourrit.

Free Download Visible Histories, Disappearing Women: Producing Muslim Womanhood in Late Colonial Bengal By Mahua Sarkar
2008 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0822342340 | PDF | 2 MB
In Visible Histories, Disappearing Women, Mahua Sarkar examines how Muslim women in colonial Bengal came to be more marginalized than Hindu women in nationalist discourse and subsequent historical accounts. She also considers how their near-invisibility except as victims has underpinned the construction of the ideal citizen-subject in late colonial India. Through critical engagements with significant feminist and postcolonial scholarship, Sarkar maps out when and where Muslim women enter into the written history of colonial Bengal. She argues that the nation-centeredness of history as a discipline and the intellectual politics of liberal feminism have together contributed to the production of Muslim women as the oppressed, mute, and invisible "other" of the normative modern Indian subject.Drawing on extensive archival research and oral histories of Muslim women who lived in Calcutta and Dhaka in the first half of the twentieth century, Sarkar traces Muslim women as they surface and disappear in colonial, Hindu nationalist, and liberal Muslim writings, as well as in the memories of Muslim women themselves. The oral accounts provide both a rich source of information about the social fabric of urban Bengal during the final years of colonial rule and a glimpse of the kind of negotiations with stereotypes that even relatively privileged, middle-class Muslim women are still frequently obliged to make in India today. Sarkar concludes with some reflections on the complex links between past constructions of Muslim women, current representations, and the violence against them in contemporary India.
