Arhitektura v svetu. Rancière in Gage – Riha – Čeferin – Badiou
No full textThe book Arhitektura v svetu ('Architecture in the World') examines the possibility of developing architecture as one of the practices that are able to operate in the world in such a way as to open it up, to reveal it in its constitutive openness; that is, in that dimension that every regime tries to conceal, including the current regime of contemporary capitalism. This practice of architecture is what in the book is referred to as "architecture in the world.”
This is a practice of architecture that establishes itself and appears in the world by simultaneously building the world and transforming it, reconstructing it. It consitututes itself in the world together with the world it constitutes. The contributions in the book focus not only on architecture but on other fields of thought as well, including art, philosophy and politics. They are, however, linked by a common problem: the problem of outlining the possibility of a way of thinking and acting in the world that at the same time constitutes a reconstructing of the given world.
Jacques Ranciere and Mark Foster Gage discuss the connections between politics and aesthetics in relation to architecture. Rado Riha examines contemporary art through Kant’s concept of reflective power of judgment. Collection's editor, Petra Čeferin, discusses Plečnik’s architectural constructions of public space as a possible source of support for intellectual emancipation. The book concludes with a text by Alain Badiou in which he responds to the question: To be happy, must we change the world?Knjiga Arhitektura v svetu zarisuje možnost razvijanja arhitekture kot ene od tistih praks, ki so zmožne delovati v svetu tako, da ga odpirajo, razkrivajo v njegovi konstitutivni odprtosti, ne-celosti, torej v razsežnosti, ki jo skuša vsak režim zakriti, vključno z aktualnim režimom sodobnega kapitalizma. Takšna praksa arhitekture je v knjigi poimenovana arhitektura v svetu.
To je praksa arhitekture, ki se v svetu vzpostavlja in pojavlja tako, da svet hkrati gradi oziroma ga preoblikuje, rekonstruira. V svetu se vzpostavlja skupaj s svetom, ki ga sama vzpostavlja. Prispevki v knjigi se sicer ne osredotočajo samo na arhitekturo, pač pa obravnavajo še druga področja miselnega delovanja, kot so umetnost, filozofija in politika. Povezuje pa jih skupni problem: problem zarisa možnosti takšnega mišljenja in delovanja v svetu, ki je obenem rekonstruiranje vsakokratnega danega sveta.
Jacques Rancière in Mark Foster Gage razpravljata o povezavah med politiko in estetiko v razmerju do arhitekture. Rado Riha v središče obravnave sodobne umetnosti postavlja Kantov koncept reflektirajoče razsodne moči. Urednica Petra Čeferin obravnava Plečnikove arhitekturne konstrukcije javnega prostora kot potencialno podporno strukturo praksam intelektualne emancipacije. Knjiga se zaključi z besedilom Alaina Badiouja, ki odgovarja na vprašanje: Ali moramo spremeniti svet, če hočemo biti srečni

[Review of Gage Canadian thesaurus]
No full textIn 1852, the publishing house Longman released a reference work whose aim was 'to supply, with respect to the English Language, a desideratum hitherto unsupplied in any language, namely, a collection of the words it contains and of the idiomatic combinations peculiar to it, arranged, not in alphabetical order as they are in a Dictionary, but according to the ideas which they express.' I speak, of course, of Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases written by physician-librarian Peter Mark Roget. Roget's Thesaurus was sustained by the Roget family for three generations. In the 1930s, its popularity soared, as hordes of fanatic crossword puzzlers found treasured answers in Roget's storehouse of words. A quick perusal of Gage's pages reveals several Canadianisms. For example, the words fawn and flatter reveal the synonyms 'suck up to' and 'bootlick' respectively in Gage, but not in Roget. Other unique Canadian synonym pairings I spotted included angry-ticked off or teed off, as well as boisterous-slaphappy
