Summary:
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.

Quel n’est donc pas le choc ressenti lorsque, à quelques jours de l’inauguration, le cadavre d’une jeune femme est retrouvé pendu dans une chambre froide du Ritz. Pour ne pas ébruiter l’affaire, l’enquête est confiée au filleul d’Auguste Escoffier, Quentin Savoisy, jeune journaliste gastronomique au Pot-au-Feu. Epaulé par sa fiancée aristocrate et féministe de la première heure, Quentin est loin d’imaginer qui se cache derrière ce terrible meurtre. Michèle Barrière, la reine du polar «historico-gastronomique», signe ici une intrigue captivante de la saga Savoisy, où la grande Histoire se mêle avec brio aux mets les plus fins de l’hôtellerie de luxe.

The contributors to this publication advance a feminist version of Marshall McLuhan’s key text, ''Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man'', repurposing his insight that ''the medium is the message'' for feminist ends. They argue that while McLuhan’s theory provides a falsely universalizing conception of the technological as a structuring form of power, feminist critics can take it up to show how technologies alter and determine the social experiences of race, gender, class, and sexuality. This volume showcases essays, experimental writings, and interviews from media studies scholars, artists, activists, and those who work with and create technology. The volume demonstrates how power dynamics are built into technological media and how media can be harnessed for radical purposes.

Summary:
''Feminist designer'' brings together a constellation of voices and perspectives to examine the intersection of design and feminist theory. For decades, the feminist refrain within design has hinged on the representation and inclusion of women in the field. This collection, edited by Alison Place, however, is a call to move beyond this narrow application. Feminist design is not just about who does design—it is about how we do design and why. Feminist frameworks for design activism are now more relevant than ever, as they emphasize collaborative processes that aim to disrupt and dismantle power hierarchies while centering feminist ways of knowing and doing. ''Feminist designer'' contains essays, case studies, and dialogues by 43 contributors from 16 different countries. It engages a wide variety of design disciplines, from graphic design to disability design to algorithmic design, and explores key feminist themes, such as power, knowledge, care, plurality, liberation, and community. Through diverse, sometimes conflicting, intersectional perspectives, this book contributes new design methods informed by a multiplicity of feminisms that confront design’s patriarchal origins while ushering in new pathways for making critical and meaningful change.

In this book, Lauren Fournier extends the meaning of the term, applying it to other disciplines and practices. Fournier provides a long-awaited account of autotheory, situating it as a mode of contemporary, post-1960s artistic practice that is indebted to feminist writing, art, and activism. Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory.

Indeed, as Federici reveals, behind the capitalist organization of work and the contradictions inherent in ''alienated labor'' is an explosive ground zero for revolutionary practice upon which are decided the daily realities of our collective reproduction. Beginning with Federici’s organizational work in the Wages for Housework movement, the essays collected here unravel the power and politics of wide but related issues including the international restructuring of reproductive work and its effects on the sexual division of labor, the globalization of care work and sex work, the crisis of elder care, the development of affective labor, and the politics of the commons.

Chacun de ces projets renferme une histoire fascinante où se côtoient l’astronome François Folie, le franc-maçon Eugène Goblet d’Alviella, le tribun socialiste Émile Vandervelde, l’utopiste Paul Otlet, le designer Henry Van de Velde, l’architecte Victor Horta, la féministe Florence de Brouckère, l’écrivain André Gide, le poète Émile Verhaeren, le géographe anarchiste Élisée Reclus, l’industriel Georges Nagelmackers, les peintres Paul Signac et Henri-Edmond Cross, le mécène Raoul Warocqué, et surtout son frère, le peintre Théo Van Rysselberghe.
