Summary:
Peut-on restaurer la nature comme on restaure un monument? Dans un contexte d'urgence environnementale, surgissent ainsi des lieux hybrides: forêts reconstruites, écosystèmes reconstitués, zones « naturelles » protégées, alimentant le mythe d’une nature retrouvée. Du fait de cette double appartenance, ils témoignent, pour une conception étroite de l'écologie, d’un(...)

Summary:
Peut-on restaurer la nature comme on restaure un monument? Dans un contexte d'urgence environnementale, surgissent ainsi des lieux hybrides: forêts reconstruites, écosystèmes reconstitués, zones « naturelles » protégées, alimentant le mythe d’une nature retrouvée. Du fait de cette double appartenance, ils témoignent, pour une conception étroite de l'écologie, d’un accroissement de la mainmise de la technique humaine sur l’environnement. Mais à ce mythe d'une nature intacte, le livre oppose un point de vue fondé non plus sur un absolu de nature, mais sur l'idée d'un soin responsable apporté par l'homme. S'impose alors le concept d'artefact naturel (comment définir un nid d'oiseau fabriqué par un humain, par exemple?), qui ouvre des perspectives inédites pour la philosophie de l'environnement.

When the boys have a chance to join a band of Chipeweyans on a trip to the remote Barrens, they jump at the opportunity. But when their canoe capsizes and they are separated from the group, it takes all their ingenuity to survive winter in the Barrens. Drawing on his knowledge of the ways of the wilderness and the implacable northern elements, Farley Mowat has created a memorable tale of daring and adventure.

Summary:
Les transformations des systèmes de production, de transport et de distribution de l’énergie vers des modes d’organisation et de fonctionnement plus durables sont l’une des grandes évolutions structurelles du début de ce siècle. Catalyseur de cette dynamique, la notion de '?transition énergétique' suscite de nombreux débats sur la pluralité de ses acceptions et interpelle de plus en plus le monde de la recherche. Le présent ouvrage aborde ces divergences et interroge les dynamiques de changement à l’œuvre dans les pratiques de production énergétique en présentant des cas d’étude inscrits dans des contextes sociopolitiques, économiques, culturels et techniques variés et faisant état de processus de transitions énergétiques diversifiés (bourse des émissions de carbone, développement éolien, grands barrages ou encore stratégie énergétique régionale).

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
Indigenous activism in the Americas has long focused on the symbolic reclamation of land. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, contributors to this issue explore narratives of territory and origin that provide a foundation for this political practice. The contributors study Indigenous-language stories from displaced communities, analyzing the meaning and power of these narratives in the context of diaspora and the struggle for land. Essays address topics including territorial struggle and environmentalism, Indigenous resistance to neoliberal policies of land dispossession, and alliances between academic and Indigenous knowledges and activisms. This issue brings together fruitful comparisons of theoretical frameworks and case studies in Indigenous studies across North and South America. Its contributors advance the process of returning to Indigenous knowledge, offering essential alternatives to Western epistemologies.

Kirkpatrick Sale offre ici une introduction magistrale au biorégionalisme – ce mode d’organisation alternatif de la société, à des échelles de territoires écologiquement salubres, avec des communautés attentives aux individus et des systèmes économiques renouvelables. Sale insiste notamment sur les répartitions naturelles de populations, les modes d’habitat et de soin des bassins-versants, ainsi que sur les propriétés communales et aux responsabilités de la terre. Cet ouvrage invite au développement réaliste de ces communautés biorégionales et des lieux où elles sont établies, afin de mettre en place une société propre à l’épanouissement social et écologique.

Summary:
We’re alive in a time of worst-case scenarios: The weather has gone uncanny. Old postwar alliances are crumbling. A pandemic draws our global community to a halt. Everywhere you look there’s an omen, a joke whose punchline is the end of the world. How is a person supposed to live in the shadow of such a grim future? What does it mean to have children—nothing if not an act of hope—in such unsettled times? What might it be like to live through the worst? And what on Earth is anybody doing about it? Dublin-based writer Mark O’Connell is consumed by these questions—and, as the father of two young children himself, he finds them increasingly urgent. In 'Notes from an Apocalypse', he crosses the globe in pursuit of answers. He tours survival bunkers in South Dakota. He ventures to New Zealand, a favored retreat of billionaires banking on civilization’s collapse. He engages with would-be Mars colonists, preppers, right-wing conspiracists. And he bears witness to those places, like Chernobyl, that the future has already visited—real-life portraits of the end of the world as we know it. In doing so, he comes to a resolution, while offering readers a unique window into our contemporary imagination.

Summary:
For millennia, plants and their habitats have been fundamental to the lives of Indigenous Peoples - as sources of food and nutrition, medicines, and technological materials - and central to ceremonial traditions, spiritual beliefs, narratives, and language. While the First Peoples of Canada and other parts of the world have developed deep cultural understandings of plants and their environments, this knowledge is often underrecognized in debates about land rights and title, reconciliation, treaty negotiations, and traditional territories. Plants, People, and Places argues that the time is long past due to recognize and accommodate Indigenous Peoples' relationships with plants and their ecosystems. Analyzing specific cases in which Indigenous Peoples' inherent rights to the environment have been denied or restricted, this collection promotes future prosperity through more effective and just recognition of the historical use of and care for plants in Indigenous cultures.
