Anna Halprin pioneered what became known as "postmodern dance," creating work that was key to unlocking the door to experimentation in theater, music, Happenings, and performance art. This first comprehensive biography examines Halprin's fascinating life in the context of American culture-in particular popular culture and the West Coast as a center of artistic experimentation from the Beats through the Hippies. Janice Ross chronicles Halprin's long, remarkable career, beginning with the dancer's grandparents-who escaped Eastern European pogroms and came to the United States at the turn of the last century-and ending with the present day, when Halprin continues to defy boundaries between artistic genres as well as between participants and observers. As she follows Halprin's development from youth into old age, Ross describes in engrossing detail the artist's roles as dancer, choreographer, performance theorist, community leader, cancer survivor, healer, wife, and mother. Halprin's friends and acquaintances include a number of artists who charted the course of postmodern performance. Among her students were Trisha Brown, Simone Forti, Yvonne Rainer, Meredith Monk, and Robert Morris. Ross brings to life the vital sense of experimentation during this period. She also illuminates the work of Anna Halprin's husband, the important landscape architect Lawrence Halprin, in the context of his wife's environmental dance work. Using Halprin's dance practices and works as her focus, Ross explores the effects of danced stories on the bodies who perform them. The result is an innovative consideration of how experience becomes performance as well as a masterful account of an extraordinary life.

Le nouveau pragmatisme architectural rassemble les tentatives les plus provocantes, et influentes des principaux théoriciens et praticiens du domaine de l'architecture pour définir ce que devrait être la pratique architecturale au début du XXIe siècle. Écrit à la suite de l'impulsion utopique du modernisme et de l'espièglerie détachée du postmodernisme, les essais rassemblés ici expriment et critiquent un nouvel esprit d'engagement culturel et politique avec la société contemporaine. En interrogeant la responsabilité sociale de l'architecte, les contributeurs réfléchissent à ce que nous devrions demander à l'architecture et suggèrent qu'au cours du siècle à venir, l'architecture doit être à la fois flexible et robuste, réactive et autonome.

Ce texte capital du célèbre théoricien américain Fredric Jameson, professeur émérite de littérature comparée à Duke University, où il dirige le Centre de Théorie Critique, est pour la première fois traduit en français. Jameson y décrit le postmodernisme comme un ensemble de phénomènes qui succèdent au modernisme, et qu'il analyse comme une étape du capitalisme tardif, «la logique culturelle» de ce dernier. Au delà des enjeux économiques et de tout ce qu'englobe sa vision du postmodernisme, il se penche tout particulièrement sur l'art, l'architecture, la littérature, le cinéma et la vidéo. Ce livre démontre supérieurement l'acuité et la pénétration de ses analyses, son immense culture littéraire et philosophique, son aisance théorique sans égal. Il témoigne aussi de la vision résolument cosmopolite d'un grand penseur dans la tradition de Hegel et de Marx.
