Summary:
For some of us, the family is a source of love and support. But for many others, the family is a place of private horror, coercion, and personal domination. In a capitalist society, the private family carries the impossible demands of interpersonal care and social reproductive labor. Can we imagine a different future? In ''Family abolition'', author M.E. O'Brien uncovers(...)

Summary:
For some of us, the family is a source of love and support. But for many others, the family is a place of private horror, coercion, and personal domination. In a capitalist society, the private family carries the impossible demands of interpersonal care and social reproductive labor. Can we imagine a different future? In ''Family abolition'', author M.E. O'Brien uncovers the history of struggles to create radical alternatives to the private family. O'Brien traces the changing family politics of racial capitalism in the industrial cities of Europe and the slave plantations and settler frontier of North America, explaining the rise and fall of the housewife-based family form. From early Marxists to Black and queer insurrectionists to today's mass protest movements, O'Brien finds revolutionaries seeking better ways of loving, caring, and living. ''Family abolition'' takes us through the past and present of family politics into a speculative future of the commune, imagining how care could be organized in a free society.

Summary:
How can art, science and institutional practices counteract the negative consequences of climate and ecological breakdown? How can these practices and ideas advance systemic change? ''Worlding Ecologies'' serves as an anthology of examples and wayward navigational tool, assembling eighteen authors exploring this question from their diverse backgrounds––as scientists, artists, philosophers, activists, theorists and curators––to rigorously approach urgent ecological challenges, including climate breakdown, pollution, biodiversity loss, environmental and social justice. This book emphasizes the fundamental role of art as a vehicle and support structure for intersectional ecological thought. Whilst navigating imagination, worlding-possibility, science fact, social justice and climate action, the book prompts a fundamental role for art to create the blueprints for regenerative and sustainable more-than-human worlds. Structured alongside three sections––Science and Climate Truth; Activism and Climate Justice and Social Justice in Institutional Ecosystems–– ''Worlding Ecologies'' moves from fieldwork-taking to patchwork-making, unifying the arts with science, politics and ecology into a field of synthetic thought and commitment.

Le sol est un extraordinaire réservoir de biodiversité : il produit des ressources, stocke du carbone, régule les eaux, apporte des nutriments aux végétaux. Support dynamique, il se transforme sous l'action de l'homme, des écosystèmes, du climat et constitue un allié incontournable pour la préservation des territoires habitables.Pourtant les sols vivants sont encore insuffisamment considérés dans les projets urbains, dans les démarches de planification, et plus largement dans les politiques publiques d'aménagement ou dans les modèles économiques, qui doivent être repensés pour atteindre nos objectifs de sobriété foncière.Tirant parti des retours d'expérience de cinq sites lauréats de « l'Atelier des territoires », piloté par le ministère en charge de l'urbanisme, cet ouvrage rend compte des propositions de territoires pionniers : mutualiser et régénérer les terres excavées en Indre-et-Loire; conforter les structures bocagères dans le Calvados; repenser les modèles de portage foncier en Seine-et-Marne; révéler les trames brunes dans l'Hérault; intégrer la valeur plurifactorielle des sols dans les arbitrages d'aménagement en Guadeloupe, etc.

By contrast, Far Eastern thought is centred not on essence but on absence.

Summary:
Western thinking has long been dominated by essence, by a preoccupation with that which dwells in itself and delimits itself from the other. By contrast, Far Eastern thought is centred not on essence but on absence. The fundamental topos of Far Eastern thinking is not being but ‘the way’ (dao), which lacks the solidity and fixedness of essence. The difference between essence and absence is the difference between being and path, between dwelling and wandering. '‘A Zen monk should be without fixed abode, like the clouds, and without fixed support, like water’', said the Japanese Zen master Dogen. Drawing on this fundamental distinction between essence and absence, Byung-Chul Han explores the differences between Western and Far Eastern philosophy, aesthetics, architecture and art, shedding fresh light on a culture of absence that may at first sight appear strange and unfamiliar to those in the West whose ways of thinking have been shaped for centuries by the preoccupation with essence.

Summary:
Since their inception with New York's Crystal Palace Exhibition in the mid-nineteenth century, world's fairs have introduced Americans to “exotic” pleasures such as belly dancing and the Ferris Wheel; pathbreaking technologies such as telephones and X rays; and futuristic architectural, landscaping, and transportation schemes. Billed by their promoters as “encyclopedias of civilization,” the expositions impressed tens of millions of fairgoers with model environments and utopian visions. Setting more than 30 world’s fairs from 1853 to 1984 in their historical context, the authors show that the expositions reflected and influenced not only the ideals but also the cultural tensions of their times. As mainstays rather than mere ornaments of American life, world’s fairs created national support for such issues as the social reunification of North and South after the Civil War, U.S. imperial expansion at the turn of the 20th-century, consumer optimism during the Great Depression, and the essential unity of humankind in a nuclear age.

En 1988, l’UNESCO lance un concours international d’architecture pour la construction d’une nouvelle bibliothèque. Inaugurée en octobre 2001, le bâtiment cumule les fonctions de bibliothèque publique, de centre d’archives, de musée et de centre de formation des bibliothécaires. Le propos du volume est de réunir les acteurs du projet et des contributeurs choisis pour leur approche à la fois érudite et sensible des différents aspects qui concernent la réalité, l’image, le symbole et l’avenir de la bibliothèque. Sont rassemblées les contributions de Christoph Kapeller, l’un des architectes lauréats, de Gerald Grunberg, directeur de la BPI de Beaubourg, conseiller technique auprès du directeur de projet de la bibliothèque, et d’Ismail Serageldin, le directeur de la nouvelle bibliothèque.
