Abstract

This book opens readers' eyes to something they see all the time but take for granted: street signs. It is a portrait of the signs on modern English streets: what they look like, who and what they are for, how they link to English history and how they form part of life in multilingual England today.

Abstract

William West (1770-1854) was a bookseller and antiquarian who wrote a series of articles about his experiences in the book trade. In 1825, West published a collection of alehouse jokes, stories and trivia under the pseudonym 'One Of the Old School'. This edition is an expanded version, edited and annotated by popular writer Charles Hindley (d. 1893) and first published in 1875. A boozy, more whimsical cousin to Ambrose Bierce's 1906 The Devil's Dictionary, the book features playful definitions of tavern slang and terminology. In addition to witty stories and puns, there is also a wealth of information about the origins of pub names, the origins of alcohol and its regulation under the law. This is a dry and humorous text which still possesses the power to amuse, but also contains rich detail about contemporary culture and society, including insights on Fleet Street, the military and colonial Britain.

Abstract

Dans les villes, sur les routes, au supermarché : les panneaux indicateurs sont partout. Si leur présence semble évidente, leur forme, leur contenu, leur emplacement ne vont pourtant pas de soi. Ils sont le résultat d'un travail complexe qui produit des espaces hybrides, où signes et architectures sont entrelacés. Ce livre explore les coulisses d'une signalétique aujourd'hui mondialement reconnue : celle du métro parisien. De l'organisation des services, jusqu'à l'activité des ouvriers qui installent et réparent les panneaux, en passant par les discours des concepteurs, il évoque les multiples facettes d'un dispositif ambitieux qui vise à transformer aussi bien les espaces du métro que le comportement de ses usagers. Complétant leur enquête d'un détour par le métro new-yorkais, les auteurs montrent que la signalétique parisienne instaure une véritable politique de l'attention où chacun peut s'attacher à la multitude des objets graphiques qui sont mis à sa disposition.
