Que resterait-il des profits des entreprises si elles devaient contribuer au renouvellement quotidien de leur masse salariale ?

Summary:
Pour André Gorz, défense du « monde vécu » et défense du « milieu naturel » sont les deux faces d'une même résistance : la question écologique se pose dans le cadre plus vaste de la domination des « systèmes » (marché capitaliste et administration étatique) sur les hommes au quotidien. Tandis que le capital, à l'accroissement illimité, menace la nature qu'il pille autant(...)

Tandis que le capital, à l'accroissement illimité, menace la nature qu'il pille autant que la société qu'il manipule, l'autogestion qu'il faut souhaiter est une autolimitation, selon le principe de suffisance : une gestion raisonnable et un lissage des richesses atténuent les tensions sociales et préservent les ressources naturelles. Le choix de la décroissance est alors un arbitrage démocratique entre efforts consentis et besoins reconnus, qui assure à la fois moins de charge de travail (redistribué), plus d'autonomie (espaces coopératifs) et de sécurité (revenu garanti), et qui laisse leur temps aux activités qui valent pour elles-mêmes.

On y voit surgir au fil des pages la post-pornographie ainsi que des explorations politiques, théoriques et personnelles qui renouvellent le féminisme, les études de genre et la théorie du genre. S’y croisent Wittig et Foucault, Butler et Despentes, Deleuze-Guattari et Monika Treut, à l’ombre des subcultures et des subjectivités minoritaires, vivantes et dissidentes, proliférantes et militantes.

Jessica Helfand looks at the cultural significance of the face through a critical lens, both as social currency and as palimpsest of history. Investigating everything from historical mugshots to Instagram posts, she examines how the face has been perceived and represented over time; how it has been instrumentalized by others; and how we have reclaimed it for our own purposes. From vintage advertisements for a “nose adjuster” to contemporary artists who reconsider the visual construction of race, ''Face'' delivers an intimate yet kaleidoscopic adventure while posing universal questions about identity.

Summary:
“Propositions for Non-Fascist Living” begins from the urgent need to model a world decidedly void of fascisms during a time when the rise of contemporary fascisms threatens the very foundations of a possibility for common life. Borrowing from Michel Foucault's notion of “non-fascist living” as an “art of living counter to all forms of fascism,” including that “in us all… the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us,” the book addresses the practice of “living” rather than the mere object of life. Artists, theorists, activists, and scholars offer texts and visual essays that engage varied perspectives on practicing life and articulate methods that support multiplicity and difference rather than vaunting power and hierarchy. Architectural theorist Eyal Weizman, for example, describes an “unlikely common” in gathering evidence against false narratives; art historian and critic Sven Lütticken develops a non-fascist proposition drawn from the intersection of art, technology, and law; philosopher Rosi Braidotti explores an ethics of affirmation and the practices of dying. “Propositions for Non-Fascist Living” is the first in a BASICS series of readers from BAK, “basis voor actuele kunst”, Utrecht, engaging some of the most urgent problems of our time through theoretically informed and politically driven artistic research and practice.

Cybernetics in this context is the ''teknê'' of threat reduction, which unfortunately has required the reduction of a disturbing humanity to packets of manageable information. Not so easily done. Not smooth. A matter of civil war, in fact. According to the authors, cybernetics is the latest master fable, welcomed at a certain crisis juncture in late capitalism. And now the interesting question is: Has the guest in the house become the master of the house?
