Summary:
« Féminisme et pédagogie au cœur des formations artistiques : 40 ans d'expérience » réunit deux conférences tenues en 1985 et 2022 par Griselda Pollock. Dans sa conférence de 1985, Griselda Pollock formule une critique des politiques du genre présentes dans l'enseignement artistique au XXe siècle qui, selon elle, renforcent l'idéologie individualiste et masculiniste des conditions de production capitalistes de l'art. Elle associe le culte de l'auteur avec une absence de reconnaissance des femmes artistes, malgré leur participation flagrante à l'art moderne. Elle explore l'impact de la critique post-moderne et de l'engagement pour un art féministe sur les théories de la signification, de la subjectivité et sur l'image, quand elle se détache du modèle de « l'atelier ». Pour finir, elle plaide pour « une intervention féministe dans l'histoire des arts » à même de contester le modèle exclusivement centré sur l'homme artiste-héros ou sur l'hégémonie du formalisme dans la théorie de l'art.

Summary:
This book starts with the premise that waste is inevitable in human society—and ends with a meditation on its inevitability. The Idea of Waste explores how we have grappled with both the material reality and the specter of this shapeshifting phenomenon throughout history—utilizing it, dreaming of overcoming it, yet never escaping it. John Scanlan explores what waste is and why it seems to be intrinsic to human life, at every turn, in every age and epoch. Finally, he demonstrates how waste never disappears, but rather only proliferates anew. Scanlan’s compelling narrative shows waste to be both an enduring material consequence of human activity and an idea or state of being.

Summary:
"Writing on Raving" is the definitive mix of voices from the Brooklyn underground rave scene and beyond, providing fresh language for the shared and infinitely varied experience of dancing through the night until the morning. New York rave culture is having a moment. The music, mostly, is techno, certain flavors of which became the soundtrack to a dancefloor culture that is queer in a different way to house music centered gay nightlife. Wark, Mak and Beery want to document and annotate and celebrate, but also critique, this world in the making. "Writing on raving" centers the New York scene, but isn’t limited to it. This is a book for all of those who need the rave. Who need to dance. Who have at some point needed that beat in their lives.

Summary:
In "On Activism, friendships, and fighting" veteran organizer and social worker Benjamin Heim Shepard traces a pressing dynamic of social movements: friendship and conflict. The project builds on oral histories with more than thirty movement organizers—from AIDS, queer, trade union, community, Occupy, and harm reduction-based movements—reflecting on the lessons, meanings, and future directions of movements and collective organizing efforts. "There is a hunger for radical history – to give credit to past struggles, to learn from our mistakes and to improve our strategies for the future," writes Lesley Wood. Oral histories trace the stories of these movements. The book goes in depth into the reasons and ways the interviewees became involved in activism, the friendships they formed, and the conflicts they faced.

Summary:
Choice touches virtually every aspect of our lives, from what to buy and where to live to whom to love, what profession to practice, and even what to believe. But the option to choose in such matters was not something we always possessed or even aspired to. At the same time, we have been warned by everybody from marketing gurus to psychologists about the negative consequences stemming from our current obsession with choice. It turns out that not only are we not very good at realizing our personal desires, we are also overwhelmed with too many possibilities and anxious about what best to select. There are social costs too. How did all this happen? "The age of choice" tells the long history of the invention of choice as the defining feature of modern freedom.

Summary:
To care can feel good, or it can feel bad. It can do good, it can oppress. But what is care? A moral obligation? A burden? A joy? Is it only human? In Matters of Care, María Puig de la Bellacasa presents a powerful challenge to conventional notions of care, exploring its significance as an ethical and political obligation for thinking in the more than human worlds of technoscience and naturecultu'res. Matters of Care' contests the view that care is something only humans do, and argues for extending to non-humans the consideration of agencies and communities that make the living web of care by considering how care circulates in the natural world. The first of the book’s two parts, “Knowledge Politics,” defines the motivations for expanding the ethico-political meanings of care, focusing on discussions in science and technology that engage with sociotechnical assemblages and objects as lively, politically charged “things.” The second part, “Speculative Ethics in Antiecological Times,” considers everyday ecologies of sustaining and perpetuating life for their potential to transform our entrenched relations to natural worlds as “resources.”

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.

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.
