Summary:
Tandis que les protéines animales ne sont plus nécessaires à la nutrition d'une majorité d'humains, des centaines de millions d'animaux sont tués chaque jour pour être mangés. Cette exploitation de masse ne soulève pas seulement une question éthique fondamentale. Elle constitue un risque écologique crucial qui met en péril l'habitabilité de la planète. L'élevage accapare 77 % des surfaces agricoles mondiales quand la pêche se déploie dans plus de la moitié des océans. Principaux fossoyeurs de la biodiversité sauvage, l'un et l'autre sont aussi en passe de devenir les tout premiers contributeurs du changement climatique : le secteur de la viande représente déjà près de 15 % des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre. Face à ce désastre, l'heure n'est plus à distinguer les pratiques industrielles et artisanales : les deux se combinent sous l'effet d'un appétit insatiable qui dévore la planète.

Summary:
Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of today’s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements.

Summary:
By changing our collective relationship with the planet, global warming has transformed the artist’s gaze. Curator Nicolas Bourriaud invites artists from around the world to question the contemporaneity of the Romantic concept of the sublime in the age of the Anthropocene. Today, the sublime, grounded in the connection between humans and nature, takes a new turn, defined as a feeling of ''delight tinged with horror''. The contrast between the individual and immensity thus becomes the aesthetic notion that determines our age. Bourriaud’s exhibition takes place in three acts: every exhibition is a forest; Charles Darwin and the coral reefs; and the tragic death of Nauru Island.
