Summary:
The body of the seafarer is a fulcrum upon which global systems of power, longstanding maritime traditions, and gendered and racialised pressures all rest. In this vital new essay, scholar Laleh Khalili draws on her ongoing research and experiences of travelling on cargo ships to explore the embodied life of these labourers. She investigates an experience riddled with adversities – loneliness, loss, and violence, stolen wages and exploitative shipowners – as well as ephemeral moments of joy and solidarity. In the unique arena of the ship, Khalili traces the many forms of corporeality involved in work at sea and the ways the body is engaged by the institutions that engulf seafarers’ lives and work. Illustrated throughout with the author’s own photographs, this book takes in both scholarly and literary accounts to describe with care and imagination the material and physical realities of contemporary commerce at sea. Drawing on the insights of feminists and scholars of racial capitalism, it centres the lives of those so often forgotten or dismissed in enterprises of capital accumulation and the raced and gendered hierarchies that shape them.

Summary:
« Faire » son genre implique parfois de défaire les normes dominantes de l’existence sociale. La politique de la subversion qu’esquisse Judith Butler ouvre moins la perspective d’une abolition du genre que celle d’un monde dans lequel le genre serait « défait », dans lequel les normes du genre joueraient tout autrement.

« Faire » son genre implique parfois de défaire les normes dominantes de l’existence sociale. La politique de la subversion qu’esquisse Judith Butler ouvre moins la perspective d’une abolition du genre que celle d’un monde dans lequel le genre serait « défait », dans lequel les normes du genre joueraient tout autrement. Ce livre s’inscrit dans une démarche indissociablement théorique et pratique : il s’agit, en s’appuyant sur les théories féministe et queer, de faire la genèse de la production du genre et de travailler à défaire l’emprise des formes de normalisation qui rendent certaines vies invivables, ou difficilement vivables, en les excluant du domaine du possible et du pensable. Par cette critique des normes qui gouvernent le genre avec plus ou moins de succès, il s’agit de dégager les conditions de la perpétuation ou de la production de formes de vie plus vivables, plus désirables et moins soumises à la violence. Judith Butler s’attache notamment à mettre en évidence les contradictions auxquelles sont confrontés ceux et celles qui s’efforcent de penser et transformer le genre. Sans prétendre toujours dépasser ces contradictions, elle suggère la possibilité de les traiter politiquement : « La critique des normes de genre doit se situer dans le contexte des vies telles qu’elles sont vécues et doit être guidée par la question de savoir ce qui permet de maximiser les chances d’une vie vivable et de minimiser la possibilité d’une vie insupportable ou même d’une mort sociale ou littérale. »

Un essai biographique brûlant d’actualité sur l’icône des luttes antiracistes, féministes, communistes et anticarcérales aux États-Unis. Militante féministe, antiraciste, communiste et anticarcérale à la pensée incandescente, Angela Davis (née en 1944 en Alabama, épicentre de la ségrégation aux États-Unis) place le collectif et son expérience personnelle de la ségrégation au centre de son engagement pour l’émancipation. Loin d’être figée dans la pureté militante qu’elle a incarnée, elle remet chaque jour sur le métier de la radicalité son ouvrage philosophique. Son examen minutieux et systématique des modes d’oppression (racisme, violences policières, sexisme, colonisation, guerres impérialistes, néolibéralisme, complexe carcéro-industriel) s’inscrit dans le temps long, celui de la mémoire des luttes, mais aussi dans le tracé contemporain de nouveaux chemins d’émancipation. Son œuvre met en lumière la violence des dominants, obligeant la société américaine à regarder sa propre violence en face.

Summary:
This book is a highly original exploration of what life could and should be. It juxtaposes a philosophical enquiry into the nature of the good life with an ethnography of people living in a small Irish town. Attending carefully to the everyday lives of these people, the ethnographic chapters examine topics ranging from freedom and inequality to the creation of community and the purpose of life. These chapters alternate with discussions of similar topics by a wide range of philosophers in the Western tradition, from Socrates and the Stoics through Kant, Hegel and Heidegger to Adorno, Rawls, MacIntyre and Nussbaum. As an ethnography, this is a book of praise that reveals just how much we can learn from a respectful acknowledgment of what ordinary modest people have achieved. By creating community as a deliberate and social project that provides the foundation for a more fulfilling life, where affluence has not led to an increase in individualism, the people in this town have found a way to live the good enough life. The book also shows how anthropology and philosophy can complement and enrich one another in an inquiry into what we might accomplish in our lives.

Nearly sixty years since the martyrdom of Malcolm X, these words from Ossie Davis’s eulogy remind us that Malcolm’s political and religious beliefs and conceptions of culture have profoundly shaped and been shaped by Harlem. "Mapping Malcolm" continues the project of reinscribing Malcolm X’s memory and legacy in the present by exploring his commitment to community building and his articulation of a global power analysis as it continues to manifest across New York City today. More specifically, the book explores the limits and possibilities of the archive, the political, material, and philosophical legacy of the Black radical tradition, the Black diaspora, and the state. Oriented toward sovereignty and liberation, ''Mapping Malcolm'' brings together artists, community organizers, and scholars to consider the politics of Black space-making in Harlem through a range of historical, cultural, and anti-imperialist worldviews designed to offer new, reparatory pedagogical possibilities. Together, they reconfigure how we understand, employ, and carry forward Malcolm X’s sociopolitical, cross-cultural analyses of justice and power as an everyday praxis in the built environment and beyond.

Summary:
A thought-provoking reconsideration of how the revolutionary movements of the 1970s set the mold for today's activism. The 1970s was a decade of "subversives". Faced with various progressive and revolutionary social movements, the forces of order--politicians, law enforcement, journalists, and conservative intellectuals--saw subversives everywhere. From indigenous peasant armies and gay liberation organizations, to anti-nuclear activists and Black liberation militants, subversives challenged authority, laid siege to the established order, and undermined time-honored ways of life. Every corner of the left was fertile ground for subversive elements, which the forces of order had to root out and destroy--a project they pursued with zeal and brutality. In "The subversive seventies", Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies--often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful--are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. While many accounts of the 1970s have been written about the regimes of domination that emerged throughout the decade, Hardt approaches the subversive from the perspectives of those who sought to undermine the base of established authority and transform the fundamental structures of society. In so doing, he provides a novel account of the theoretical and practical projects of liberation that still speak to us today, too many of which have been all but forgotten.
