La théoricienne des nouveaux médias Wendy Hui Kyong Chun expose sa conception originale de la programmation et du code, alerte sur les biais de racialisation, de l'homophilie et des tendances eugénistes qui régissent nos interactions sur les plateformes et analyse la nécessité de convoquer les sciences humaines et sociales dans la conception des modèles algorithmiques chargés de prédire les évolutions et impacts du dérèglement climatique. Cet ouvrage est le premier qui introduit ses travaux aux publics francophones.

Summary:
Depuis quelques années, les sciences humaines ont restitué aux sujets non humains leur rôle dans le déroulement de l'histoire du monde. Explosions volcaniques, épisodes de sécheresse, épidémies sont autant de causes naturelles qui expliquent, pour une grande part, les transformations de nos sociétés. Qu'en est-il en littérature ? Ne serait-il pas temps qu'un rôle majeur(...)

Summary:
Depuis quelques années, les sciences humaines ont restitué aux sujets non humains leur rôle dans le déroulement de l'histoire du monde. Explosions volcaniques, épisodes de sécheresse, épidémies sont autant de causes naturelles qui expliquent, pour une grande part, les transformations de nos sociétés. Qu'en est-il en littérature ? Ne serait-il pas temps qu'un rôle majeur dans le déroulement du récit soit attribué au monde naturel ?. Plutôt qu'un simple décor devant lequel se déploient les actions humaines, le climat devrait aujourd'hui être pleinement considéré comme l'un des acteurs principaux du roman, un personnage à part entière, suscitant tragédies et romances. C'est ce que l'on perçoit en germe dans les nouvelles inédites proposées par Aurélien Bellanger, Marie Darrieussecq, Célia Houdart, Annie Lulu, Marielle Macé, Yamen Manaï, Samy Manga, Ryoko Sekiguchi, Peter Stamm, Abdourahman Waberi qui ont été invités à imaginer le monde du réchauffement climatique, avec une hausse des températures de 4 degrés Celsius, celui de notre planète à l'horizon de 2100.

Summary:
This book offers a critical look at the territory that today forms the state of Israel and the lasting historical role of agriculture, which sprang from the Neolithic revolution in the Middle East, had for a wide range of aspects of human social and ecological development. Topics considered include agriculture’s role in territorial appropriation and domestication, in structuring the development of urbanization, in creating a national homeland narrative for the Jewish state, and in changing the climate. "Israel Lessons" explores in particular the three major types of Israeli agricultural development: vernacular Palestinian/Bedouin, socialist utopian Kibbutz/Moshav, and contemporary high-tech desert farming. Presenting findings through text matched to striking images, graphics, and maps, and featuring proposals for architectural intervetions, it demonstrates how facts and narratives related to agriculture and the climate crisis are intertwined with geopolitics and sectarian ideals of an earthly paradise.

Summary:
An argument for how the modernist credo "more with less" can guide sustainable architecture in the era of climate change. Over the past five hundred years, a rift has grown between the design and construction of buildings. "The turning point in architectural design" does not lament this rift, but rather sees it as an opportunity to explore new horizons in building design in the era of climate change. By taking a historical approach, this book shows how over time design has been less and less limited by the constraints of building materials and techniques and how novel architectural designs have pushed the boundaries of what is possible in construction. World-renowned architect Helmut Schulitz takes the modernist motto "more with less" to heart and applies its lessons to the future, where the demand for energy and resource conservation in all aspects of life—especially architecture—will be paramount.
