Judith Revel et Toni Negri : « Inventer le commun des hommes »

UNE MICROPOLITIQUE DE LA VILLE : L'AGIR URBAIN
(Anne Querrien, Doina Petrescu and Constantin Petcou, eds.)
Networking transforms contemporary urban activism into a critical
movement inside of the city, in itself an infinite entity in its
endless transformations and relations. The city´s complexity is such
that the public centralized powers and strategies are no longer able
to control it as it was imagined by the modernist projects and
theories. At the same time, the acceleration of the different
economical global recompositions constantly weakens the local powers.
The city becomes therefore a "non-place" where any governance becomes
less and less possible and where the mechanisms of power function now
on a different scale…

How to live and act in this "deterritorialized" city? If the
"proliferation of deterritorialized groups (…) produces new forms of
solidarity", as Arjun Appadurai writes, what are the specific forms of
those solidarities? The articles published in this issue argue for a
critical possibility that is located in the spontaneous solidarities
of the everyday urban life.

This issue contains two conversations with Toni Negri and Michel
Agier, and articles by Brian Holmes, Jochen Becker, Jesko Fazer et
Mathias Heyden, Ashwin Desai, Tony Cruz, Pascal Nicolas-Le Strat,
Constantin Petcou and Doina Petrescu, Anne Querrien.

HOMMAGE A ANDRE GORZ
With articles by Yann Moulier Boutang, Alain Lipietz, Jean Zin and
Frédéric Neyrat.

TEMPORALITES FEMINISTES
( Elisabeth Lebovici and Giovanna Zapperi, eds.)
The year 2007 was marked in the art world by a regain of interest for
feminism in its relations to contemporary art, with the different
exhibitions, symposia and publications that took place at that moment.
Those events, that put an enphasis on the notion of  (re)descovery of
the work of women artists, raise the question of a feminist
temporality. Taking this as a starting point the articles investigate
feminism as an artistic strategy and as a critical tool. This issue
features a project by artist Andrea Geyer "Queen of the artists
studios: the story of Audrey Munson" and articles by Elisabeth
Lebovici, Géraldine Gourbe and Charlotte Prévost, and Giovanna
Zapperi.
Elisabeth von Samsonow´s "Anti-Elektra", that rewrites the myth of
Elektra from a feminist perspective, explicitly resonates with those
questions.
