Nature et politique : contribution à une anthropologie de la modernité et de la globalisation
$37.95
(available to order)
Summary:
L’écologie politique est-elle progressiste? Est-elle réactionnaire? Est-elle libertaire ou autoritaire? S’agit-il d’une nouvelle religion? S’agit-il du nouveau conflit central? En partant des questions clé qui ont orienté les débats autour de l’écologisme depuis son apparition dans les années 1960, Fabrice Flipo organise la discussion et relie les fils épars de l’analyse(...)

Summary:
L’écologie politique est-elle progressiste? Est-elle réactionnaire? Est-elle libertaire ou autoritaire? S’agit-il d’une nouvelle religion? S’agit-il du nouveau conflit central? En partant des questions clé qui ont orienté les débats autour de l’écologisme depuis son apparition dans les années 1960, Fabrice Flipo organise la discussion et relie les fils épars de l’analyse empirique et théorique. Il nous montre que l’écologie politique se définit non par la protection de l’environnement mais par une remise en cause de l’universalité du mode de vie moderne. L’écologisme est ainsi un mouvement d’emblée global, qui renverse les cadres établis de la politique.

Summary:
This book examines the possibilities for scaling design solutions to address global warming. Global warming poses new challenges to the architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design communities. The immediate response has been a turn toward a host of energy-saving technologies. What has rarely been addressed, however, is the problem of scale. How can designers make sure that global solutions do not come at the expense of local cultures and environments? By placing human rational, emotional, technological, and social needs at the center of our environmental concerns, this book proposes a new global design initiative. The aim is to develop a language of design that can create proximity between individual responsibility and the current global environmental crisis. These featured projects showcase leading-edge design innovations at multiple scales. Global Design directors Peder Anker, Louise Harpman, and Mitchell Joachim discuss various ways in which design can reformat the unfortunate separation between humans and the natural world.
