À l’image de son industrie complexe et mobile, elle constitue une discipline en devenir, un champ de recherche interdisciplinaire qui s’est progressivement approprié les grilles d’analyse et les outils critiques des sciences voisines, tout en se nourrissant de ses propres paradoxes et ambiguïtés. Entre permanence et nouveauté, matérialité et immatérialité, cet ouvrage a pour vocation de témoigner de la richesse de ce champ de création en esquissant un état des lieux de la pensée sur, par et pour la mode.

Valérie Lefebvre-Faucher, éditrice chez Écosociété au moment de l’affaire Noir Canada où deux multinationales ont intenté des poursuites en diffamation de 11 millions de dollars contre la maison d’édition indépendante et les auteur.e.s, elle a été profondément marquée par cet épisode de l’histoire du livre ainsi que par la tempête ayant provoqué le pilonnage puis la parution de l’ouvrage collectif ''Libérer la colère'' (Éditions du Remue-Ménage, 2018). Elle prend la plume pour réfléchir à la parole, à l’édition, au rôle de la littérature. Qu’est-ce que la liberté d’expression et pourquoi en voulons-nous? L’auteure propose un procès littéraire où elle est à la fois témoin, accusée, procureure, experte. Les témoignages, les rapports d’experts, les interrogatoires, les plaidoyers, toutes les étapes du procès y passent, sous son regard d’écrivaine, où l’interdit devient moteur créatif. Texte au souffle littéraire et poétique puissant, elle s’adresse à nous, à la barre du tribunal des mots, pour garder une trace de ce que l’on a voulu faire taire. Partant de son témoignage comme éditrice, qui a vu son rapport à la culture, à la parole et à la société transformé par ces poursuites, elle s’inscrit également dans une histoire plus grande : celle de livres et de personnages d’écrivain. e.s qui, face au droit, se ressemblent, de Victor Hugo au Comité invisible en passant par ''Les fées ont soif".

Summary:
The aftermath of the Covid restrictions, mental problems, being confronted with the influx of people with a different background and culture, the alienation of ourselves and of others, not being able to relate to other people; these can all cause deep feelings of loneliness. What is loneliness, as different from solitude? Whereas solitude is a chosen condition that refrains from social relations, loneliness suffers from the lack of these. The three essays in this book each explore a side of loneliness, strongly connected to the encounter with the other. South-African psychologist Wahbie Long lays out what kind of relationships to the outside world emerge from childhood experiences of playing and relating to others. French philosopher Marie-José Mondzain uses the metaphor of architecture with its terms as threshold, doors, walls, windows, a bench in front of the frontal wall; elements that construct '‘home'', the architectural and emotional place where encounters can happen, where ‘'strangers'’ should be welcomed and trusted. French psychoanalyst Lysiane Lamantowicz discusses a form of loneliness that we see all around us: the consequences of social networks on the internet.

Techno, first and always a Black music, invites fresh sonic and temporal possibilities for this era of diminishing futures. Raving to techno is an art and technique at which queer and trans bodies might be particularly adept, but which is for anyone who lets the beat seduce them. Extending the rave's sensations, situations, fog, lasers, drugs, and pounding sound systems onto the page, Wark invokes a trans practice of raving as a timely aesthetic for dancing in the ruins of this collapsing capital.

Pursuing these lines of inquiry, "Party studies, Vol. 2" comprises essays, documentation and poetic notes on nonnormative modes of being-in-common. Continuing from Volume 1 on the topics of home gatherings and house parties, the second volume elaborates understandings of the party by considering the hidden, the invisible and the underground as material and imaginary forces, where partying is not only festive, but manifests in forms of social and political organizing, cultural and subcultural conversation, the maintenance of safe spaces and the building of parallel structures against established institutional forms.

Thomas Piketty’s powerful and bestselling ''Capital and Ideology'' is now available in this accessible and richly illustrated full-color graphic novel format Claire Alet and Benjamin Adam make the original work’s ideas more accessible through the addition of a family saga. Jules, the main character, is born at the end of the 19th century. He is a person of private means, a privileged figure representative of a profoundly unequal society obsessed with property. He, his family circle, and his descendants will experience the evolution of wealth and society. Eight generations of his family serve as a connecting thread running through the book, all the way up to Léa, a young woman today, who discovers the family secret at the root of their inheritance. Friendly and approachable illustrations by cartoonist and children’s book author Benjamin Adam are easy to understand without diluting the subject matter. The material is adapted expertly by Claire Alet, a former journalist at Alternatives Economiques.

Lisa Diedrich shows how illness- and disability-oriented hashtags serve as portals into how and why illness and disability are sites of political struggle and how illness politics is informed by, intersects with, and sometimes stands in for sexual, racial, and class politics. She argues that illness politics is central—and profoundly important—to both mainstream and radical politics, and she investigates the dynamic intersection of media and health and health-activist practices to show the ways their confluence affects our perception and understanding of illness.
