Towards a situated reading of L’Urbanisme, utopies et réalités. Une anthologie (1965), organized by Françoise Choay1 1 The present article consolidates results from the research study entitled “Uma história do urbanismo em construção. As práticas historiográficas de Françoise Choay (1965-1973)” [A history of urbanism under construction. The historiographical practices of Françoise Choay (1965-1973)], developed, between 2014 and 2018, within the scope of my doctoral studies on urbanism as part of the Postgraduate Program in Urbanism at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (PROURB-FAU-UFRJ), with funding from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), and through a doctoral internship undertaken at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture (ENSA-Paris-Belleville), funded by the Research Support Foundation in the State of Rio de Janeiro (Faperj). Within this process, emphasis should be given to the fundamental role of my interlocution with Margareth da Silva Pereira (PROURB-FAU-UFRJ), the thesis advisor, together with the comments and suggestions from members of the dissertation committee, Laurent Coudroy de Lille (EUP-UPEM), Gustavo Rocha- Peixoto (PROARQ-FAU-UFRJ), Rodrigo de Faria (PPG-FAU-UNB) and Andrea de Lacerda Pessôa Borde (PROURB-FAU-UFRJ), as well as the supervisor of my internship conducted in France, Corinne Jaquand (ENSA-Paris-Belleville). They have all made a significant contribution to the research conducted since the defense, and which I conducted between 2019 and 2020 as associate professor at the Department of History and Theory at FAU-UFRJ, and as a researcher on the Postgraduate Program in Architecture (PROARQ-FAU-UFRJ) with resources from UFRJ. Among the projects in which I have been involved, during this latter period, are the “La Fondation Le Corbusier et l’Histoire de l’Histoire. L’Origine des études corbuséennes racontées par leurs principaux intervenants” (coordinated by Véronique Boone, Daniela Ortiz dos Santos and Marta Sequeira, at the Fondation Le Corbusier) and “O Congresso de 1959: arquitetura no centro da crítica da arte? [The 1959 Congress: architecture at the center of art criticism?] (for which I acted as coordinator at the PROARQ-FAU-UFRJ).

Abstract

The present article is dedicated to undertaking a close reading of L’Urbanisme, utopies et réalités. Une anthologie (1965), organized by Françoise Choay. It seeks to situate this anthology within the intellectual trajectory of the author, as well as in the discursive, urban culture in which it was conceived and had it first distribution. In order to develop this work, the approach adopted was based on authors who study books as “practices and representations”, with particular emphasis on Roger Chartier. It has also been guided by the notion of “nebula”, as conceived by Margareth da Silva Pereira. The article has been structured into three parts: in the first, the anthology is presented, especially, its introductory text; following on, situations are investigated in which it is possible to contemplate its conception process and how it was received; and, lastly, the findings are problematized by returning to a reading of the introduction to Françoise Choay’s anthology.
