Résumé:
The contributors to ''The Black geographic'' explore the theoretical innovations of Black Geographies scholarship and how it approaches Blackness as historically and spatially situated. In studies that span from Oakland to the Alabama Black Belt to Senegal to Brazil, the contributors draw on ethnography, archival records, digital humanities, literary criticism, and art to show how understanding the spatial dimensions of Black life contributes to a broader understanding of race and space. They examine key sites of inquiry: Black spatial imaginaries, resistance to racial violence, the geographies of racial capitalism, and struggles over urban space. Throughout, the contributors demonstrate that Blackness is itself a situating and place-making force, even as it is shaped by spatial processes and diasporic routes. Whether discussing eighteenth- and nineteenth-century abolitionist print records or migration and surveillance in Niger, this volume demonstrates that Black Geographies is a mode of analyzing Blackness that fundamentally challenges the very foundations of the field of geography and its historical entwinement with colonialism, enslavement, and imperialism. In short, it marks a new step in the evolution of the field.

Résumé:
In The City after Property, Sara Safransky examines how postindustrial decline generates new forms of urban land politics. In the 2010s, Detroit government officials classified a staggering 150,000 lots—more than a third of the city—as “vacant” or “abandoned.” Analyzing subsequent efforts to shrink the Motor City’s footprint and budget, Safransky presents a new way of(...)

Résumé:
In The City after Property, Sara Safransky examines how postindustrial decline generates new forms of urban land politics. In the 2010s, Detroit government officials classified a staggering 150,000 lots—more than a third of the city—as “vacant” or “abandoned.” Analyzing subsequent efforts to shrink the Motor City’s footprint and budget, Safransky presents a new way of conceptualizing urban abandonment. She challenges popular myths that cast Detroit as empty along with narratives that reduce its historical decline to capital and white flight. In connecting contemporary debates over neoliberal urbanism to Cold War histories and the lasting political legacies of global movements for decolonization and Black liberation, she foregrounds how the making of—and challenges to—modern property regimes have shaped urban policy and politics. Drawing on critical geographical theory and community-based ethnography, Safransky shows how private property functions as a racialized construct, an ideology, and a moral force that shapes selves and worlds. By thinking the city “after property,” Safransky illuminates alternative ways of imagining and organizing urban life.

Résumé:
''Resisting eviction'' centres tenant organizing in its investigation of gentrification, eviction and the financialization of rental housing. Andrew Crosby argues that racial discrimination, property relations and settler colonialism inform contemporary urban (re)development efforts and impacts affordable housing loss. How can the City of Ottawa aspire to become ''North America’s most liveable mid-sized city'' while large-scale, demolition-driven evictions displace hundreds of people and destroy a community? Troubling discourses of urban liveability, revitalization and improvement, Crosby examines the deliberate destruction of home—domicide—and tenant resistance in the Heron Gate neighbourhood in Ottawa, on unceded Algonquin land. Heron Gate is a large rental neighbourhood owned by one multi-billion-dollar real estate investment firm. Around 800 people—predominantly lower-income, racialized households—have been demovicted and displaced from the neighbourhood since 2016, leading to the emergence of the Herongate Tenant Coalition to fight the evictions and confront the landlord-developer. This case study is meticulously documented through political activist ethnography, making this book a brilliant example of ethical engagement and methodological integrity.

Résumé:
Food insecurity in the North is one of Canada’s most shameful public health and human rights crises. In ''Plundering the North,'' Kristin Burnett and Travis Hay examine the disturbing mechanics behind the origins of this crisis: state and corporate intervention in northern Indigenous foodways. Despite claims to the contrary by governments, the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), and the contemporary North West Company (NWC), the exorbitant cost of food in the North is neither a naturally occurring phenomenon nor the result of free-market forces. Rather, inflated food prices are the direct result of government policies and corporate monopolies. Using food as a lens to track the institutional presence of the Canadian state in the North, Burnett and Hay chart the social, economic, and political changes that have taken place in northern Ontario since the 1950s. They explore the roles of state food policy and the HBC and NWC in setting up, perpetuating, and profiting from food insecurity while undermining Indigenous food sovereignties and self-determination. ''Plundering the North'' provides fresh insight into Canada’s settler colonial project by re-evaluating northern food policy and laying bare the governmental and corporate processes behind the chronic food insecurity experienced by northern Indigenous communities.

Résumé:
Beatriz Nascimento (1942–1995) was a poet, historian, artist, and political leader in Brazil’s Black movement, an innovative and creative thinker whose work offers a radical reimagining of gender, space, politics, and spirituality around the Atlantic and across the Black diaspora. Her powerful voice still resonates today, reflecting a deep commitment to political organizing, revisionist historiography, and the lived experience of Black women. ''The dialectic is in the sea'' traces the development of Nascimento’s thought across the decades of her activism and writing, covering topics such as the Black woman, race and Brazilian society, Black freedom, and Black aesthetics and spirituality. Incisive introductory and analytical essays provide key insights into the political and historical context of Nascimento’s work.

Résumé:
Une publication de l'artiste et enseignante-chercheuse Marie Preston sur les pédagogies alternatives développées en France durant les années 1970-1990 dans des écoles « ouvertes » travaillant la question des rapports entre co-création et coéducation. Les équipes pédagogiques dont il est question dans ce livre étaient persuadées qu'il fallait transformer radicalement le système scolaire pour contrevenir à la reproduction sociale et il·elle·s l'ont fait ! Véritable terreau d'inventions éducatives, relationnelles, institutionnelles, ces expériences ont beaucoup à nous apprendre aujourd'hui. Notamment au regard des pratiques artistiques coopératives et de co-création qui partagent avec elles un désir et des manières de faire, comme celui de la transformation sociale, la co-gestion, l'émergence de commun et la création collective. Le livre se construit dans un va-et-vient entre des témoignages et entretiens menés auprès des acteurs et actrices de cette histoire et des éléments de contextualisation et d'analyse ouvrant sur les pratiques artistiques de co-création.

Résumé:
Exposée, médiatisée, encensée ou critiquée, la mode définit une partie conséquente de l’histoire matérielle de nos sociétés, et est un indéniable agent d’intelligibilité du contemporain. À l’image de son industrie complexe et mobile, elle constitue une discipline en devenir, un champ de recherche interdisciplinaire qui s’est progressivement approprié les grilles d’analyse et les outils critiques des sciences voisines, tout en se nourrissant de ses propres paradoxes et ambiguïtés. Entre permanence et nouveauté, matérialité et immatérialité, cet ouvrage a pour vocation de témoigner de la richesse de ce champ de création en esquissant un état des lieux de la pensée sur, par et pour la mode.

Driving the Human is a catalyst for experimentation, shaping sustainable and collective futures that combine science, technology, and the arts in a transdisciplinary and collaborative approach. This publication documents all milestones of the three-year project, contextualizing and expanding its discourse through expert voices and emerging creative visions. At its heart are seven prototypes for eco-social renewal, each proposing new ways to engage with one another and with what surrounds us, at the surface of the planet and beyond. They explore ways in which AI could mitigate climate change; immerse us in new forms of community through ancestral agricultural knowledge; employ fiction as a tool for new modes of multispecies conviviality; or create embodied connections to understand human impact in endangered territories.

Résumé:
Compiled as a field guide, travelogue, essay collection, and weather report, ''Alien Daughters Walk into the Sun'' traces Jackie Wang's trajectory from hard femme to Harvard, from dumpster dives and highway bike rides to dropping out of an MFA program, becoming a National Book Award finalist, and writing her trenchant book ''Carceral Capitalism''. ''Alien Daughters'' charts the dream-seeking misadventures of an “odd girl” from Florida who emerged from punk houses and early Tumblr to become the powerful writer she is today. Anarchic and beautifully personal, ''Alien Daughters'' is a strange intellectual autobiography that demonstrates Wang's singular self-education: an early life lived where every day and every written word began like the Tarot's Fool, with a leap of faith.

Résumé:
« Faire » son genre implique parfois de défaire les normes dominantes de l’existence sociale. La politique de la subversion qu’esquisse Judith Butler ouvre moins la perspective d’une abolition du genre que celle d’un monde dans lequel le genre serait « défait », dans lequel les normes du genre joueraient tout autrement. Ce livre s’inscrit dans une démarche indissociablement théorique et pratique : il s’agit, en s’appuyant sur les théories féministe et queer, de faire la genèse de la production du genre et de travailler à défaire l’emprise des formes de normalisation qui rendent certaines vies invivables, ou difficilement vivables, en les excluant du domaine du possible et du pensable. Par cette critique des normes qui gouvernent le genre avec plus ou moins de succès, il s’agit de dégager les conditions de la perpétuation ou de la production de formes de vie plus vivables, plus désirables et moins soumises à la violence. Judith Butler s’attache notamment à mettre en évidence les contradictions auxquelles sont confrontés ceux et celles qui s’efforcent de penser et transformer le genre. Sans prétendre toujours dépasser ces contradictions, elle suggère la possibilité de les traiter politiquement : « La critique des normes de genre doit se situer dans le contexte des vies telles qu’elles sont vécues et doit être guidée par la question de savoir ce qui permet de maximiser les chances d’une vie vivable et de minimiser la possibilité d’une vie insupportable ou même d’une mort sociale ou littérale. »
