Summary:
Profit is the original genius of homo sapiens, who learned how to unleash the energy stored in wood, exploit the land, and refashion ecosystems. As civilization developed, we found more and more ways of extracting surplus value from the earth, often deploying brutally effective methods to discipline people to do the work needed. Historian Mark Stoll explains how(...)

Summary:
Profit is the original genius of homo sapiens, who learned how to unleash the energy stored in wood, exploit the land, and refashion ecosystems. As civilization developed, we found more and more ways of extracting surplus value from the earth, often deploying brutally effective methods to discipline people to do the work needed. Historian Mark Stoll explains how capitalism supercharged this process and traces its many environmental consequences. The financial innovations of medieval Italy created trade networks that, with the European discovery of the Americas, made possible vast profits and sweeping cultural changes, to the detriment of millions of slaves and indigenous Americans; the industrial age united the world in trade and led to an energy revolution that changed lives everywhere. But when efficient production left society awash in goods, a new sort of capitalism, predicated on endless individual consumption, took its place.

In Anime’s Media Mix, Marc Steinberg convincingly shows that anime is far more than a style of Japanese animation. He traces the cultural genealogy that spawned Astro Boy to the transformations of Japanese media culture that followed—and forward to the even more profound developments in global capitalism supported by the circulation of characters like Doraemon, Hello(...)

Summary:
In Anime’s Media Mix, Marc Steinberg convincingly shows that anime is far more than a style of Japanese animation. He traces the cultural genealogy that spawned Astro Boy to the transformations of Japanese media culture that followed—and forward to the even more profound developments in global capitalism supported by the circulation of characters like Doraemon, Hello Kitty, and Suzumiya Haruhi. He details how convergence was sparked by anime, with its astoundingly broad merchandising of images and its franchising across media and commodities. He also explains how the rise of anime cannot be understood properly—historically, economically, and culturally—without grasping the integral role that the media mix played from the start. Engaging with film, animation, and media studies, as well as analyses of consumer culture and theories of capitalism, Steinberg offers a sustained study of the Japanese mode of convergence that informs global media practices to this day.

Que peut bien vouloir dire « droit à la ville » ? Cette interrogation est indissociable d’une multitude d’autres questions. Quelle ville voulons-nous ? Quel genre de personnes voulons-nous être ? À quelles relations sociales aspirons-nous ? Quelle vie quotidienne trouvons-nous désirable ? Quelles valeurs esthétiques défendons-nous ? Quel rapport à la nature souhaitons-nous promouvoir ? Quelles technologies jugeons-nous appropriées ? Le droit à la ville ne se réduit ainsi pas à un droit d’accès individuel aux ressources incarnées par la ville : c’est un droit à nous changer nous-mêmes en changeant la ville de façon à la rendre plus conforme à nos désirs les plus fondamentaux. C’est aussi un droit plus collectif qu’individuel, puisque, pour changer la ville, il faut nécessairement exercer un pouvoir collectif sur les processus d’urbanisation. Il importe dans cette perspective de décrire et d’analyser la manière dont, au cours de l’histoire, nous avons été façonnés et refaçonnés par un processus d'urbanisation toujours plus effréné et étendu, animé par de puissantes forces sociales et ponctué de violentes phases de restructurations urbaines par « destruction créative », ainsi que par les résistances et les révoltes que ces restructurations suscitaient.

Summary:
There is widespread consensus that we are living at the end—of democracy, of liberalism, of capitalism, of a healthy planet, of the Holocene, of civilization as we know it. In this book, drawing on radical futurisms and visions of justice-to-come emerging from the traditions of the oppressed—Indigenous, African-American, multispecies, anti-capitalist—as materialized in experimental visual cultural, new media, aesthetic practices, and social movements, T. J. Demos poses speculative questions about what comes after end-of-world narratives. He argues that it's as vital to defeat fatalistic nihilism as it is to defeat the false solutions of green capitalism and algorithmic governance. How might we decolonize the future, and cultivate an emancipated chronopolitics in relation to an undetermined not-yet? If we are to avoid climate emergency's cooptation by technofixes, and the defuturing of multitudes by xenophobic eco-fascism, Demos argues, we must cultivate visions of just futurity and multispecies flourishing.

Summary:
With rapid increases in urban populations, there is an urgent need to transform our world's cities in keeping with ecological imperatives and democratic principles. A growing worldwide citizen movement is attempting to challenge bureaucratic administrations and replace the politics of fear with neighborhood power, direct democracy, and solidarity. They believe that threats of capitalism, totalitarianism, and climate change require imaginative political resistance rooted where they live. Combining political theory, philosophy, history, and intimate narrative, ''Take the city!'' presents an expansive view of municipalist movements around the world. With over twenty contributors, including David Harvey, this anthology provides crucial insights into the challenges ahead by looking at and beyond municipal electoral politics. Stories of diverse regions and issues illuminate the nuances of municipalist movements of the past and present, providing a roadmap of the fight for our future. From Seattle to Kurdistan, Burlington to Oaxaca, Barcelona to Mississippi, and Vienna to Montreal, contributors carefully consider the intertwined questions concerning current crises in housing, the environment, democracy, and capitalism.
