Summary:
Cet ouvrage a été publié à l’occasion de l’exposition collective «Exercices de réciprocité / Exercices in Reciprocity», qui s’est tenue à la Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement, au printemps 2022, sous le commissariat de Ji-Yonn Han. L’exposition regroupait les œuvres de sept artistes aux pratiques variées : Jérôme Nadeau, Katherine Melançon, Adam Basanta, Christina Battle, Mary Anne Barkhouse, Cynthia Girard-Renard, Ioana Vreme Moser. La proposition commissariale consistait à réunir les artistes non pas autour d’un sujet ou d’une esthétique particulière, mais plutôt sur la base d’un engagement envers la notion éthique de réciprocité. Les projets ont donc été développés puis déployés dans un esprit de dialogue et d’apprentissage, qui s’est tout d’abord exercé en collaboration avec Nicole O’Bomsawin, anthropologue, muséologue et conteuse, dans le cadre des partenariats de recherche du Grand Conseil de la Nation Waban-Aki. Les principes de réciprocité et d’hospitalité ont guidé l’ensemble du processus, en cherchant à construire des relations éthiques et durables entre la Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement et la Nation Waban-aki, gardienne ancestrale des terres qui l’accueille. Cette publication contient un texte de la commissaire qui présente comment l’exposition aborde le potentiel de l’art d’alimenter la recherche sur les manières holistiques d’habiter le monde. L’ouvrage comprend également les notices complètes des œuvres présentées dans l’exposition ainsi qu’un court texte pour chaque artiste, portant attention aux relations qui s’établissent entre les gestes artistiques, la conscience du monde et l’engagement envers la préservation de la diversité des écosystèmes.

Summary:
What does feminism have to say to the Anthropocene? How does the concept of the Anthropocene impact feminism? This book is a daring and provocative response to the masculinist and techno-normative approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists, artists, humanists, and social scientists. By coining and, for the first time, fully exploring the concept of “anthropocene feminism,” it highlights the alternatives feminism and queer theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene. Feminist theory has long been concerned with the anthropogenic impact of humans, particularly men, on nature. Consequently, the contributors to this volume explore not only what current interest in the Anthropocene might mean for feminism but also what it is that feminist theory can contribute to technoscientific understandings of the Anthropocene. With essays from prominent environmental and feminist scholars on topics ranging from Hawaiian poetry to Foucault to shelled creatures to hypomodernity to posthuman feminism, this book highlights both why we need an anthropocene feminism and why thinking about the Anthropocene must come from feminism.

Summary:
The Whole Earth Catalog was a cultural touchstone of the 1960s and 1970s. Between 1968 and 1971, almost two million copies of its various editions were sold, and not just to commune-dwellers and hippies. Millions of mainstream readers turned to the Whole Earth Catalog for practical advice and intellectual stimulation, finding everything from a review of Buckminster Fuller to recommendations for juicers. This book offers selections from eighty texts from the nearly 1,000 items of "suggested reading" in the Last Whole Earth Catalog. Illustrated and meticulously documented, this fascinating selection of texts cited as 'suggested reading' in the Whole Earth Catalog gives us a fresh, new look at this bible of a generation. Wonderful juxtapositions abound: Buckminster Fuller and Wendell Berry; Timothy Leary and Lao-Tzu; Thoreau and Marshall McLuhan; the Boston Women's Health Collective and Norbert Wiener; Nicholas Negroponte and Kakuzo Okakura; and Margaret Mead and James Baldwin (their A Rap on Race). At once libertarian and communitarian, practical and mystical, scientific and hands-on, Whole Earth Field Guide reveals the astonishing energy and spirit that motivated thousands of young people to challenge the status quo and to grapple, with remarkable prescience, with issues such as ecology and information technology that still confront us today.
