Summary:
Qu’on pleurniche la mort du vivant ou qu’on s’émerveille de ses façons de vivre, on envisage le monde animal comme un îlot de pureté, étranger aux luttes de l’humanité. Ou alors, on passe son temps à se moquer de ceux qui défendent les bêtes, au nom de conceptions caduques de la cité. Faut-il se résoudre à ce dilemme ? Ni plus ni moins que nous, les animaux sont sujets de(...)

Ni plus ni moins que nous, les animaux sont sujets de l’exploitation capitaliste, et développent leurs propres façons d’y résister. Des porcs récalcitrants sont aux origines de l’usine moderne. Les termites créent des sociétés communistes. Ainsi s’esquissent les contours d’une vision politique ensauvagée, mêlant humains et animaux dans un horizon partagé. Les bêtes renvoient l’humanité à sa part incarnée, nous reconnectent avec les sources vives de la révolte.

Mais la « montée des robots » tant décriée explique-t-elle vraiment la crise de l'emploi qui nous attend de l'autre côté du coronavirus? Dans « L'automatisation et le futur du travail », Aaron Benanav parvient à évaluer avec intelligence le paysage économique contemporain tout en gardant un œil lucide sur nos horizons utopiques. En réponse aux appels en faveur d'un revenu de base universel qui permettrait de maintenir une armée croissante de travailleurs licenciés, il dessine une contre-proposition.

Summary:
In this book, Jean-Thomas Tremblay argues that difficult breathing indexes the uneven distribution of risk in a contemporary era marked by the increasing contamination, weaponization, and monetization of air. Tremblay shows how biopolitical and necropolitical forces tied to the continuation of extractive capitalism, imperialism, and structural racism are embodied and experienced through respiration. They identify responses to the crisis in breathing in aesthetic practices ranging from the film work of Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta to the disability diaries of Bob Flanagan, to the Black queer speculative fiction of Renee Gladman. In readings of these and other minoritarian works of experimental film, endurance performance, ecopoetics, and cinema-vérité, Tremblay contends that articulations of survival now depend on the management and dispersal of respiratory hazards. In so doing, they reveal how an aesthetic attention to breathing generates historically, culturally, and environmentally situated tactics and strategies for living under precarity.

Summary:
In this book, Craig Leonard argues for the contemporary relevance of the aesthetic theory of Herbert Marcuse—an original member of the Frankfurt School and icon of the New Left—while also acknowledging his philosophical limits. His account reinvigorates Marcuse for contemporary readers, putting his aesthetic theory into dialogue with antiracist and anti-capitalist activism. Leonard emphasizes several key terms not previously analyzed within Marcuse's aesthetics, including defamiliarization, anti-art, and habit. In particular, he focuses on the centrality of defamiliarization—a subversion of common sense that can be a means to the development of what Marcuse refers to as “radical sensibility.”

Summary:
Robots designed to care for people and neglected landscapes of digital trash. The promise of synthetic biology and the panic of living on a dying planet. Wonderful feats of intelligence and systemic acts of violence. Exhilaration and exhaustion. Rosi Braidotti argues that we must think about these apparent contradictions all together in order to make differences that actually matter. "Posthuman knowledge and the critical posthumanities" oscillates between evocations and transections of contemporary conditions, for which Braidotti offers what she calls the "posthuman convergence" as a new paradigm for situating and navigating their problems and possibilities. Reflecting on the knotted situation of the academic humanities, cognitive capitalism, and advanced climate change, she delivers an intersectional critique of humanism and anthropocentrism, and targets their exclusions and aporias to address subjectivity, knowledge production, and academic structures within that posthuman convergence. Braidotti's convergence demands imagination, endurance, connectivity, and perspectives multiplied, embodied, and grounded in the only world we have.

Why has the tourist proved so resistant to philosophical treatment, asks Hiroki Azuma. Tracing the reasons for this exclusion through the work of Rousseau and Voltaire, and subsequently in Kant, Carl Schmitt, Alexandre Kojève, Hannah Arendt, and Hardt and Negri, Azuma contends that the figure of the tourist has been rendered illegible by becoming ensnared in a series of misleading conceptual dichotomies and a linear model of world history.
