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).

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.

L’oléoduc Énergie Est n’est pas qu’un simple tuyau où couleraient 2 000 litres de pétrole à la seconde. Donner le feu vert au projet de TransCanada, c’est s’exposer à des risques majeurs de catastrophe écologique (860 cours d’eau traversés, déversement possible de l’équivalent de 36 déraillements à Lac-Mégantic) pour de bien faibles retombées économiques.

C’est aussi s’enfermer dans une logique capitaliste délétère qui nous pousse à extraire et à consommer toujours davantage de pétrole sale, fortement générateur de gaz à effet de serre. Par le fait même, c’est abandonner les indispensables cibles en matière de lutte contre les changements climatiques afin d’éviter une hausse dramatique de la température du globe. Éric Pineault rassemble les pièces du casse-tête Énergie Est et expose tous les pièges du complexe des sables bitumineux pour bloquer sans compromis ce projet de pipeline. En ce début de XXIe siècle, nous avons une responsabilité climatique historique. La transition énergétique est incontournable. Le monde nous regarde.

(available to order)
Summary:
Western Canada's natural environment faces intensifying threats from industrialization in agriculture and resource development, social and cultural complicity in these destructive practices, and most recently the negative effects of global climate change. The complex nature of the problems being addressed calls for productive interdisciplinary solutions. In this book, arts and humanities scholars and literary and visual artists tackle these pressing environmental issues in provocative and transformative ways. Their commitment to environmental causes emerges through the fields of environmental history, environmental and ecocriticism, ecofeminism, ecoart, ecopoetry, and environmental journalism. This indispensable and timely resource constitutes a sustained cross-pollinating conversation across the environmental humanities about forms of representation and activism that enable ecological knowledge and ethical action on behalf of Western Canadian environments, yet have global reach. Among the developments in the contributors' construction of environmental knowledge are a focus on the power of sentiment in linking people to the fate of nature, and the need to decolonize social and environmental relations and assumptions in the West.

Summary:
The violence wrought by climate change, toxic drift, deforestation, oil spills, and the environmental aftermath of war takes place gradually and often invisibly. Using the innovative concept of “slow violence” to describe these threats, Rob Nixon focuses on the inattention we have paid to the attritional lethality of many environmental crises, in contrast with the sensational, spectacle-driven messaging that impels public activism today. Slow violence, because it is so readily ignored by a hard-charging capitalism, exacerbates the vulnerability of ecosystems and of people who are poor, disempowered, and often involuntarily displaced, while fueling social conflicts that arise from desperation as life-sustaining conditions erode.

Summary:
This book is a collection of essays at the intersection of architecture and climate change. Neither a collective lament nor an inventory of architectural responses, the essays consider cultural values ascribed to climate and ask how climate re? ects our conception of what architecture is and does. Which materials and conceptual infrastructures render climate legible, knowable, and actionable, and what are their spatial implications? How do these interrelated questions offer new vantage points on the architectural rami? cations of climate change at the interface of resiliency, sustain-ability, and ecotechnology? 'Climates' also contains a dossier of precedents for thinking about architecture and climate change drawn from a number of leading practitioners. New approaches to understanding climate in architecture make this book invaluable.This publication is a project by The Avery Review, a journal produced by the Of?ce of Publications at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.

A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction. By investigating one of the world’s most sought-after fungi, The Mushroom at the End of the World presents an original examination into the relation between capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within multispecies landscapes, the prerequisite for continuing life on earth.
