Summary:
This book takes an in-depth look at the social lives of five objects commonly found in the public spaces of New York City and its suburbs, revealing how our interactions with such material things are our primary point of contact with the social, political, and economic forces that shape city life. Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork and a wealth of original interviews, Mike Owen Benediktsson shows how we are in the midst of things whose profound social role often goes overlooked. This publication demonstrates how the material realm is one of immediacy, control, inequality, and unpredictability, and how these factors frustrate the ability of designers, planners, and regulators to shape human behavior.

Preciado, Charles Baudelaire, and above all Walter Benjamin. Written in a style that borrows not from classical forms of theory or prose, but operates in between fiction and nonfiction to investigate the very concept of the contemporary, this book uses a quite old but often renewed method—in this sense a very contemporary one—consisting of starting from one’s own personal situation.

Summary:
The success of "social distancing" as a strategy against the COVID-19 pandemic resonates acutely with neoliberalism’s destruction of the very notion of society itself. This was most famously expressed by Margaret Thatcher’s dictum "there is no society," which supplies the title of this anthology—with a question mark added. How can we deal with the paradoxical mix of solitude and common experience that the pandemic entails? How can culture and critical discourse even continue when public space has been shut down upon the advice of epidemiologists? Such are the questions tackled by the authors of this anthology—some of today’s leading theorists of capitalist affect and experience.

Au fil de ces textes, les auteurs proposent une critique du capitalisme racial et de ses outils (gouvernance, crédit, université) ainsi que des modes d'expérimentation sociale en forme de résistance au colonial. La recherche passe par l'étude et se déroule bien au-delà de l'université, au travail, lors d'une pause cigarette, en famille, autour d'un repas, à la lisière de la lutte et de la fuite, à l'intérieur d'un mouvement de tremblement des fondations impérialistes, d'un mouvement de refus des termes du combat tel qu'il est imposé par le système dominant, vers la construction d'un espace social et politique en perpétuel déplacement. Le lieu et l'être sous-communs relèvent de l'incertitude de la création collective, de l'habitation par l'échange, de l'improvisation comme critique.

Summary:
Au-delà des approches usuelles, surspécialisées et cloisonnées, Nancy Fraser offre l'occasion de réfléchir en profondeur sur l'actuelle crise multidimensionnelle (sociale, économique, politique, écologique et sanitaire) et sur les éventuelles voies de sortie, tout en inscrivant son ouvre dans la Théorie critique dont la mission consiste à dévoiler les formes de domination et à contribuer à l'émancipation. Renouvelant les apports de Marx et de Polanyi, tout en se démarquant d'Axel Honneth, la philosophe américaine, spécialiste des mouvements féministes, se livre à une analyse éclairante de la société contemporaine, divisée par les luttes identitaires. Membres du Centre de recherche sur les innovations sociales (CRISES), les auteurs convoquent la théorie de la justice sociale de Nancy Fraser pour mieux comprendre les études de cas qu'ils présentent dans cet ouvrage. Celles-ci portent tant sur les conditions de vie des femmes immigrées monoparentales et des personnes marginalisées et itinérantes que sur les conditions de travail des professionnels de recherche dans les universités canadiennes et des travailleurs étrangers temporaires dans la filière avicole québécoise. Elles concernent également des organisations collectives précises, comme l'habitat-santé le Mimosa du Quartier, les Maisons familiales rurales en France ou les coopératives de travail dans le taxi en Europe et dans le ramassage des déchets au Brésil. Ce livre s'adresse aux universitaires, aux étudiants et au public préoccupés par les injustices sociales et les solutions pour y remédier.

It is often said that we no longer have an addressee for our political demands. But that’s not true. We have each other. What we can no longer get from the state, the party, the union, the boss, we ask for from one another. And we provide. Lacan famously defined love as giving something you don’t have to someone who doesn’t want it. But love is more than a YouTube link or(...)

Summary:
It is often said that we no longer have an addressee for our political demands. But that’s not true. We have each other. What we can no longer get from the state, the party, the union, the boss, we ask for from one another. And we provide. Lacan famously defined love as giving something you don’t have to someone who doesn’t want it. But love is more than a YouTube link or a URL. Love’s joy is not to be found in fulfillment, it is to be found in recognition: even though I can never return what was taken away from you, I may be the only person alive who knows what it is. In our present times—post-human, post-reality, or maybe pre-internet, post-it, pre-collapse, pre-fabricated by algorithms—what does love have to do with it? Since 2009, need and care and desire and admiration have been cross-examined, called as witness, put on parole, and made the subject of caring inquiry by e-flux journal authors. These writings have now been collected to form this comprehensive volume.
