- **Event Description**: En conversation avec Colin Ripley // In conversation with Colin RipleyAbout this EventRejoignez-nous pour une conversation à propos de la plus récente publication de Colin Ripley, , publiée Presses de l’Université Concordia, 2025.Où se situe la sexualité, en particulier la sexualité queer, dans l'architecture? The House Is (Not) a Pr*son aborde cette question d'un point de vue radical, en cherchant non pas une théorie de l'architecture queer, mais plutôt une théorie queer de l'architecture. Partant d'une remise en question des principes fondamentaux de l'architecture, Ripley démontre comment la division de l'espace impose des séparations et des catégories. Ce faisant, la queeritude est créée comme un extérieur indispensable à l'intérieur disciplinaire de l'architecture.Retraçant l'évolution de l'architecture depuis la fin du siècle des Lumières jusqu'à l'après-guerre du XXe siècle, The House Is (Not) a Pr*son montre comment les distinctions entre la Pr*son et la maison familiale ont commencé à s'estomper au XIXe siècle avec les initiatives visant à réhabiliter les criminels, et se sont encore davantage brouillées avec la popularisation du verre et du béton dans les cellules modernistes.Cet événement est gratuit et sera présenté en anglais.---Please join us for a conversation around Colin Ripley's latest publication, , published by Concordia University Press.Where is sexuality, especially queer sexuality, in architecture? The House Is (Not) a Pr*son approaches this question from a radical position, looking not for a theory of queer architecture, but rather for a queer theory of architecture. Starting from a reconsideration of the foundational principles of architecture, Ripley demonstrates how the division of space steals land from the commons and forces separations and categories. In the process, queerness is created as an indispensable outside to architecture’s disciplinary interior.Tracing the evolution of architecture from the late Enlightenment to the postwar twentieth century, The House Is (Not) a Pr*son shows how distinctions between the Pr*son and the domestic home began to collapse in nineteenth-century initiatives to rehabilitate the criminalized, and blurred even further with the popularization of glass and concrete in the modernist cell.This event is free of charge and will be presented in English.Image : @Concordia Press University, 2025.
