Barraquisme, la ciutat (im)possible
Barcelona ha vist néixer i desaparèixer nombrosos barris de barraques al llarg d el segle XX, una realitat sovint oblidada que n'ha condicionat substancialment e l desenvolupament urbà. Aquesta monografia és el resultat de la recerca impulsad a entre 2004 i 2008 per l'Inventari del Patrimoni Etnològic del Centre de Promoc ió de la Cultura Popular i Tradicional Catalana amb l'objectiu de recopilar tota la informació existent, dispersa i fragmentada, sobre aquest fenomen. L'equip d e recerca, format per historiadors, antropòlegs i geògrafs de la Universitat de Barcelona, en fa una anàlisi des de la perspectiva històrica, en debat les raons de l'existència, permanència i desaparició, a la vegada que en recupera testimo nis directes per tal d'aprofundir en l'estudi etnogràfic del barraquisme i donar lloc a la història social en el relat oficial sobre la ciutat.
La immigració a Lleida durant el segle XX
Les migracions humanes són un fenomen global que s’ha donat en totes les èpoques de la humanitat. A Catalunya, els desplaçaments de la població en l’espai s’han caracteritzat bàsicament per l’alternança entre moviments emigratoris i moviments immigratoris forçats per circumstàncies polítiques, econòmiques o de recerca de treball i millors condicions de vida. Aquest llibre analitza el fenomen que afectà Lleida durant el segle XX i en especial durant l'època del franquisme, el que significà un revulsiu urbanístic i demogràfic sense precedents en la societat lleidatana.

Refugees
Roland Fischer was inspired by the current political and social events relating t o the topic of refugees to create a collective portrait consisting of over 1,000 separate photographs. Central questions about identity and solidarity, which are the subject of discussion in the socio - political debate, are raised and treated in an artistic manner. The term "refugees" is removed from its abstract context and real people appear in the viewer's field of vision, complete with name. As regards motif and topic, a collective portrait like this one, for which the artist mounted 1,000 individual por traits, hovers between the individual and the collective. While refugees and migrants are perceived primarily as an abstract collective and an indeterminate mass, especially as a result of the reporting in the media, Roland Fischer and his art project poin t out that this collective is comprised of many individuals with personal, individual fates.
Empire de L'éphémère
This text draws on the history of fashion to demonstrate that the modern cult of appearance and superficiality actually serves the common good. It argues that mass produced fashion offers many choices, which in turn enable consumers to become complex individuals within a consolidated society.
The Edge of Vision
From the beginning, abstraction has been intrinsic to photography, and its persistent popularity reveals much about the medium. Now available in an affordable paperback edition, The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography is the first book in English to document this phenomenon and to put it into historical context, while also examining the diverse approaches thriving within contemporary photography. Author Lyle Rexer examines abstraction at pivotal moments, starting with the inception of photography, when many of the pioneers believed the camera might reveal other aspects of reality. The Edge of Vision traces subsequent explorations--from the Photo-Secessionists, who emphasiz...

Arab Detroit
Metropolitan Detroit is home to one of the largest and most diverse Arab communities outside the Middle East. Arabic-speaking immigrants have been coming to Detroit for more than a century, yet the community they have built is barely visible on the landscape of ethnic America. Arab Detroit brings together the work of twenty-five contributors to create a richly detailed portrait of Arab Detroit. Memoirs and poems by Lebanese, Chaldean, Yemeni, and Palestinian writers anchor the book in personal experience, and more than fifty photographs drawn from family albums and the files of local photojournalists provide a backdrop of vivid, often unexpected images. Students and scholars of ethnicity, immigration, and Arab American communities will welcome this diverse collect on.
Fiction and Fabrication
An exciting change is currently taking place in architecture photography: apparently neutral, realistic illustrations are giving way to the creation of an individual reality. New techniques permit unusual angles and perspectives, and digital processing allows for the manipulation of reality. Fine artists have long discovered the formal language of architecture as a subject. By means of a wide range of contemporary artworks this volume shows the visual bandwidth which architecture photography demonstrates in our post-digital age. With works by: Doug Aitken, Thomas Demand, Filip Dujardin, Roland Fischer, Andreas Gursky, Edgar Martins, Erwin Olaf, Hans Op de Beeck, Bas Princen, Thomas Ruff, Philipp Schaerer, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Wolfgang Tillmans, Jeff Wall and many more.
