Summary:
Kate Abramson examines gaslighting from a philosophical perspective, investigating it as a distinctive moral phenomenon.Gaslighting is best understood as a form of interpersonal interaction, a particular way of fundamentally undermining someone. The gaslighter, Abramson argues, aims to make his target experience herself as incapable of reasoning, perceiving, or reacting in ways that would allow her to form appropriate beliefs, perceptions, or emotions in the first place. Using examples and analysis, Abramson gives an account of gaslighting and its immorality, and argues that such a discussion can help us understand other aspects of social life—from racism and sexism to the structure of interpersonal trust.

Summary:
Une publication de l'artiste et enseignante-chercheuse Marie Preston sur les pédagogies alternatives développées en France durant les années 1970-1990 dans des écoles « ouvertes » travaillant la question des rapports entre co-création et coéducation. Les équipes pédagogiques dont il est question dans ce livre étaient persuadées qu'il fallait transformer radicalement le système scolaire pour contrevenir à la reproduction sociale et il·elle·s l'ont fait ! Véritable terreau d'inventions éducatives, relationnelles, institutionnelles, ces expériences ont beaucoup à nous apprendre aujourd'hui. Notamment au regard des pratiques artistiques coopératives et de co-création qui partagent avec elles un désir et des manières de faire, comme celui de la transformation sociale, la co-gestion, l'émergence de commun et la création collective. Le livre se construit dans un va-et-vient entre des témoignages et entretiens menés auprès des acteurs et actrices de cette histoire et des éléments de contextualisation et d'analyse ouvrant sur les pratiques artistiques de co-création.

Summary:
What is an art of life for what feels like the end of a world? In "Raving" McKenzie Wark takes readers into the undisclosed locations of New York's thriving underground queer and trans rave scene. 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.

In what ways does the underground facilitate subcultural expression? Is clandestinity necessary for working against a given social order? 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.

Summary:
Survival is a common practice. We cannot do it alone—we need each other. We need tools and practices that help us to connect, understand, and build in this age of climate crisis, technological upheaval, and existential pain. We need words, values, and ideas that extend beyond the human space. We need to learn and we need to unlearn. This book makes other world designs accessible through and beyond artistic practice. Rooted in experiment and based in solidarity, the works incorporate elementary questions of ecology, technology, and spirituality to demonstrate how cultural survival requires new cultural practices. With innovative texts and rich illustrations, "Manual for survival" explores the idea that we have to learn to live and think in contradictions without losing ourselves.

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.

Policing is constitutive of colonial modernity: normalizing, internalizing, and legalizing anti-Black violence as the ongoing condition for white life and freedom. The result, Tia Trafford argues here, is a situation where we cannot practically experience or even imagine worlds free from policing. From the plantation to the prison, global apartheid, and pandemic control, this book examines why and how policing has become the most ingrained, commonsense-and insidious-way of managing our world.

Summary:
"Illness politics and hashtag activism" explores illness and disability in action on social media, analyzing several popular hashtags as examples of how illness figures in recent U.S. politics. 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.

Summary:
When the state recedes, the commune-form flourishes. This was as true in Paris in 1871 as it is now whenever ordinary people begin to manage their daily lives collectively. Contemporary struggles over land - from the zad at Notre-Dame-des-Landes to Cop City in Atlanta, from the pipeline battles in Canada to Soulèvements de la terre - have reinvented practices of appropriating lived space and time. This transforms dramatically our perception of the recent past. Rural struggles of the 1960s and 70s, like the "Nantes Commune," the Larzac, and Sanrizuka in Japan, appear now as the defining battles of our era. In the defense of threatened territories against all manners of privatization, hoarding, and infrastructures of disaster, new ways of producing and inhabiting are devised that side-step the state and that give rise to unprecedented kinds of solidarity built on pleasurable, fruitful collaborations.
