Summary:
Parce qu’il s’est immiscé dans les moindres recoins des sociétés contemporaines, le capitalisme a bouleversé le visage des villes telles que nous les connaissons. La concentration de la population mondiale dans des agglomérations désormais gérées comme des entreprises fait de la construction de l’espace urbain un observatoire privilégié tant des logiques managériales et financières que de la production des inégalités sociales et spatiales. De l’adaptation au changement climatique à la Smart City en passant par le zonage logistique et l’économie de plateformes, cette encyclopédie critique propose une cartographie inédite de la ville contemporaine, qui invite concevoir l’espace comme un rapport social et donc comme un lieu de lutte. Présentant de riches enquêtes empiriques menées aux quatre coins du globe, ses entrées exposent de manière thématique les principaux enjeux auxquels sont confrontées des populations marginalisées à la fois d’un point de vue matériel et dans les processus de décisions qui affectent leur vie quotidienne. La démarche suivie, qui associe à ce réquisitoire implacable l’esquisse systématique de voies alternatives, argumente de manière actuelle et accessible en faveur de la défense renouvelée d’un « droit à la ville ».

Summary:
Print on demand has revolutionized publishing. Digital printing and online platforms such as Blurb, Lulu and Kindle Direct Publishing allow anyone to publish work immediately and without financial risk, opening up spaces beyond the trade book world and ostensibly democratizing production. Today an entire subculture is exploring print on demand in search of new economies and publics, while also critically negotiating our digital present. "The Library of Artistic Print on Demand" maps this experimental field for the first time, exploring its global spread, history, contradictions and political relevance through writings from international publishers and authors.

Summary:
With the concept of the ''Imperial mode of living,'' Brand and Wissen highlight the fact that capitalism implies uneven development as well as a constant and accelerating universalisation of a Western mode of production and living. The logic of liberal markets since the nineteenth century, and especially since World War II, has been inscribed into everyday practices that are usually unconsciously reproduced. The authors show that they are a main driver of the ecological crisis and economic and political instability. ''The imperial mode of living'' implies that people’s everyday practices, including individual and societal orientations, as well as identities, rely heavily on the unlimited appropriation of resources; a disproportionate claim on global and local ecosystems and sinks; and cheap labour from elsewhere. This availability of commodities is largely organised through the world market, backed by military force and/or the asymmetric relations of forces as they have been inscribed in international institutions. Moreover, the ''Imperial mode of living'' implies asymmetrical social relations along class, gender and race within the respective countries. Here too, it is driven by the capitalist accumulation imperative, growth-oriented state policies and status consumption. The concrete production conditions of commodities are rendered invisible in the places where the commodities are consumed. The imperialist world order is normalised through the mode of production and living.
