  • Inaugurations No. 73 PARIS N E W S // SEPTEMBER 2012
    Inaugurations No. 73 PARIS N E W S // SEPTEMBER 2012 There are lots of Inaugurations to keep up with in Paris in September: the Louvre opens its new Islamic Art Department to great fanfare and three hotels reopen after a full makeover. Tour guide specialists have come up with brand new tours: visits to workshops, boutiques, auction houses. And then there is a cashmere boutique and a concept restaurant … Have a good rentrée! Culture // Event at the Louvre: opening of the museum’s 8th department Twenty years after the huge pyramid project, the Louvre today sees the result of a ten-year project, which show- cases the Islamic Arts. Architects Mario Bellini and Rudy Ricciotti have created 2,800 m2 of exhibition area in the Cour Visconti; this architectural masterpiece involved excavating to a depth of 12 metres within the heart of the historic palace of the royal kingdom of France, which dates back to the 12th century. Eight centuries later, a glass roof seems to float above one of the palace’s most ornate courtyards: this ‘dragonfly’s wing’ with its changing reflections of light is a remarkable technical feat of glass panels and metallic glass sheets composed of 2,350 triangles with a gold coloured effect that rest on a structure of eight fine pillars. The interior space is a light and airy exhibition space. Some 3,000 objects are presented to the public in this area specifically designed for them: wall of Ottoman tiles, Egyptian porch, carpets, boxes, carafes, paintings, ceramics, etc. The display of the collections by Renaud Piérard, closely linked to the architecture around it, forms a loop that presents the evolution of these Islamic Arts from the year 632 to 1800, in four large fluid parts.

  • Petit Atelier Et Modernisme Économique : La Production En Miettes Au 19E Siècle

Pour citer ce texte, utiliser la pagination du présent fichier, et sa référence : http://www.u-paris10.fr/96682101/0/fiche___pagelibre – Page intitulée : "Histoire de la petite entreprise" PETIT ATELIER ET MODERNISME ÉCONOMIQUE : LA PRODUCTION EN MIETTES AU 19E SIÈCLE Alain FAURE Université de Paris X-Nanterre [email protected] PRINCIPES La petite entreprise, à l'âge de l'industrialisation, au 19e siècle, en France, sera ici analysée comme un système de production et un mode de croissance économique. Les apparences sont en effet d'une simplicité trop belle pour qu'on s'y fie : l'histoire du petit atelier, à quoi se résume-t-elle chez beaucoup, sinon à celle, inversée, de l'usine, concurrente et conquérante, absorbant, dissolvant les structures économiques du passé ? Elle peut être au contraire pour d'autres – surtout fins politiques – celle d'une magnifique résistance à la fureur moderniste, impuissante à remodeler intégralement le paysage économique. Tout n'est pas faux dans ces vues linéaires, mais les pièges sont tendus, les clichés tout prêts à aliéner la réflexion. Afin de se dégager de ces notions présupposées de retard, d'archaïsme ou de survivance, il convient de se demander si, au siècle dernier, la production éclatée, émiettée, ne relevait pas d'une organisation spécifique de la production, ayant en propre son domaine, ses caractéristiques et son histoire. Précisons enfin d'emblée qu'il ne sera parlé que du secteur des biens de consommation destinés au vaste marché des besoins quotidiens.

  • 7-Rollason, Shopping As a Way of Life
    The Commodification of Everything: Shopping as a Way of Life What is an arcade? In its classic sense, the term denotes a pedestrian passage or gallery, open at both ends and roofed in glass and iron, typically linking two parallel streets and consisting of two facing rows of shops and other commercial establishments – restaurants, cafés, hairdressers, etc. “Arcade” is the English name: in French the arcades are known as ‘passages’, and in German as ‘Passagen’. The modern arcade was invented in Paris, and, while the concept was imitated in other cities – there are particularly fine mid-nineteenth century examples in Brussels – the Parisian arcades remain the type of the phenomenon. Benjamin quotes a passage from the Illustrated Guide to Paris, a German publication of 1852, which sums up the arcades’ essence: These arcades, a recent invention of industrial luxury, are glass-roofed, marble-panelled corridor extending through whole blocks of buildings, whose owners have joined together for such enterprises. Lining both sides of the corridors, which get their light from above, are the most elegant shops, so that the arcade is a city, a world in miniature, in which customers will find everything they need. The construction that is generally accepted as the first example of the Paris arcade proper was the Passage des Panoramas, opened in 1800 when Napoleon Bonaparte was First Consul, and still in existence. There had been earlier partial precursors in Paris. The “Galeries de Bois” or Wooden Galleries inside the Palais-Royal – the former Royal Palace and residence of the Orléans branch of the royal family – offered, from 1790 until their demolition in 1828, a traffic free space where a multitude of traders served thronging crowds under a wooden roof, and which, in literature, is the subject of a celebrated description in Illusions perdues (Lost Illusions ), Balzac’s classic fictional exposé of Parisian society published in 1843.

Su sobrenombre de "ciudad de la Luz" no tiene, como pueda parecer, ninguna connotación romántica si no que se debe a que sus calles y edificios importantes fueron los primeros en estar dotados de sistema de iluminación eléctrica de todo el mundo. El aspecto antiguo y clásico de todas sus calles hacen que la belleza arquitectónica de la ciudad no tenga rival y de ello dan buen cuenta los millones de visitantes que recibe anualmente y que hacen de la ciudad el destino más visitado del mundo.
