Planétarium. Un atlas pour le monde à venir

Description

From 2020 to 2025, the Centre Pompidou's "Planétarium" series invited leading figures in humanities research and the art world each month to share their views on the transformations that global warming, technological change, and rising global tensions are wreaking on the places we inhabit. From environmental emergencies to the digital transition, from pandemic surveillance to social mobilizations and memory trauma, the authors gathered in this book examine the changing spaces where human action and life unfold, drawing on anthropology, philosophy, or history, or mobilizing multiple forms of expression (performance, visual arts, cinema, etc.).

Punctuated by the abundant illustrations of artist Eric Valette, who revisits our imaginary world of travel and brings together French and international perspectives, the proposed itinerary is intended to be both an atlas of some remarkable places where our future is taking shape, and an inventory of the tools that today's research and creation are forging to map the world to come.

Alternating between chapters and portfolios, creating a dialogue between current thinking and forms of expression, Planetarium offers a fresh perspective on the global challenges of our time.
