Summary:
Indigenous peoples have gained increasing international visibility in their fight against longstanding colonial occupation by nation-states. Although living in different locations around the world and practising highly varied ways of life, indigenous peoples nonetheless are affected by similar patterns of colonial dispossession and violence. In defending their collective rights to self-determination, culture, lands and resources, their resistance and creativity offer a pause for critical reflection on the importance of maintaining indigenous distinctiveness against the homogenizing forces of states and corporations. This book highlights significant colonial patterns of domination and their effects, as well as responses and resistance to colonialism. It brings indigenous peoples' issues and voices to the forefront of sociological discussions of modernity. In particular, the book examines issues of identity, dispossession, environment, rights and revitalization in relation to historical and ongoing colonialism, showing that the experiences of indigenous peoples in wealthy and poor countries are often parallel and related.

Summary:
Pendant une centaine d’années, des universitaires ont exhumé, profané, transporté, étudié et conservé aux fins de «recherches scientifiques» les restes ancestraux d’Aïnous. On estime que plus de 1 600 personnes ont ainsi été à titre posthume victimes de ce programme. La présente œuvre poétique témoigne de la douleur causée par le colonialisme dont ont été victimes les Autochtones, mais aussi des limites de l’ouverture du monde: aujourd’hui encore on retrouve à Sapporo un bâtiment lugubre où sont conservés, «retenus prisonniers», comme l’écrit Dobashi Yoshimi, les restes de son ancêtre Penriuk, grand chef aïnou. Avec une présentation de Daniel Chartier, une introduction de Jeffry Gayman, une préface de Hanazaki Kôhei et une chronologie de Lucien-Laurent Clercq. Traduit du japonais par Etienne Lehoux-Jobin.

Summary:
Since Hamas’s attack on Israel last October 7, the term "settler colonialism" has become central to public debate in the United States. A concept new to most Americans, but already established and influential in academic circles, settler colonialism is shaping the way many people think about the history of the United States, Israel and Palestine, and a host of political issues. This short book is the first to examine settler colonialism critically for a general readership. By critiquing the most important writers, texts, and ideas in the field, Adam Kirsch shows how the concept emerged in the context of North American and Australian history and how it is being applied to Israel. He examines the sources of its appeal, which, he argues, are spiritual as much as political; how it works to delegitimize nations; and why it has the potential to turn indignation at past injustices into a source of new injustices today. A compact and accessible introduction, rich with historical detail, the book will speak to readers interested in the Middle East, American history, and today’s most urgent cultural-political debates

Summary:
The tenth issue of "The Funambulist" operates somehow in continuity with issue 9 Islands (January-February 2017), which offered the words of indigenous and anticolonial struggles from various islands of the world. Voices from Kanaky, Mayotte, Hawai’i, and Puerto Rico resonate therefore here with those from Libya, Kenya, Palestine, and Java, in the colonial situations they all describe. While the last issue was dedicated to the seminal work of Édouard Glissant, inscribed throughout the pages of this present one is the influence of another Martiniquais: Frantz Fanon. The two editorial arguments of this issue are simple: colonialism is not an era, it is a system of military/police, legal, administrative, social, and cultural system of domination; and, architecture is not (only) an aesthetic vessel, it is an apparatus organizing and hierarchizing bodies in space.

Summary:
This book considers the effects of colonialism, travel, and globalization on the development of modern architecture in Germany from the 1850s until the 1930s. It argues that the rise of a new modern language of architecture within Germany during this period was shaped by the country's colonial and neo-colonial entanglements. Since architectural developments in nineteenth-century Germany are typically understood as crucial to the evolution of architecture worldwide in the twentieth century, this book globalizes the history of modern architecture at its founding moment.

Summary:
En nous entraînant dans les coulisses des musées, ce volume fait partager la passion de l'auteure pour ces lieux fascinants et indispensables qui ont su se moderniser, se réinventer pour toucher toujours plus de publics. A travers mille anecdotes, on y flâne d'un continent à l'autre, du Louvre au musée Edo-Tokyo, du Louvre Abu Dhabi au British Museum, de l'Ermitage à la glyptothèque de Copenhague. Confrontés aujourd'hui à de nouveaux défis, comme les enjeux de marque, de diversité, de développement durable, de post-colonialisme, ou de numérique, les musées nous interrogent sur notre rapport aux objets, mais aussi au passé, à la mémoire, et à la transmission. Promenade sensible à travers le monde, ce livre ouvre la réflexion sur ce que notre monde veut transmettre aux générations futures.
