Summary:
Through a collection of essays and case studies, ''Water Works'' shows over sixty careful responses to flooding, draught, pollution, extraction and other issues around freshwater. Divided into seven themes: Purity, Wild, Scale, Representation, Violence, Infrastructure and Commerce, ''Water Works'' allows us to learn from places and makers that build on the intricate relationships between people and other life forms, materials and (infra)structures. Critically blending knowledge derived from craft, art, science and ecology, these works ask: what are sensible ways to embrace and connect with water? Through wading, floating, testing and tasting, how can we generate more desirable ecosocial relations? In facing large-scale engineering, climate change, privatization and other forms of water violence, these works are an invitation to design together with water as a site and medium for ecosocial renewal.

Summary:
Un essai biographique brûlant d’actualité sur l’icône des luttes antiracistes, féministes, communistes et anticarcérales aux États-Unis. Militante féministe, antiraciste, communiste et anticarcérale à la pensée incandescente, Angela Davis (née en 1944 en Alabama, épicentre de la ségrégation aux États-Unis) place le collectif et son expérience personnelle de la ségrégation au centre de son engagement pour l’émancipation. Loin d’être figée dans la pureté militante qu’elle a incarnée, elle remet chaque jour sur le métier de la radicalité son ouvrage philosophique. Son examen minutieux et systématique des modes d’oppression (racisme, violences policières, sexisme, colonisation, guerres impérialistes, néolibéralisme, complexe carcéro-industriel) s’inscrit dans le temps long, celui de la mémoire des luttes, mais aussi dans le tracé contemporain de nouveaux chemins d’émancipation. Son œuvre met en lumière la violence des dominants, obligeant la société américaine à regarder sa propre violence en face.

Il s’agit pour elle de montrer le danger qu’il y a à confier à l’État le soin de définir le champ du dicible et de l’indicible. Dans un dialogue critique avec J. L. Austin, le fondateur de la théorie du discours performatif, mais aussi avec Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida et Catharine MacKinnon, elle s’efforce d’établir l’ambivalence de la violence verbale (du hate speech) et des discours homophobes, sexistes ou racistes : s’ils peuvent briser les personnes auxquelles ils sont adressés, ils peuvent aussi être retournés et ouvrir l’espace d’une lutte politique et d’une subversion des identités.

Summary:
At the foot of the Argentine Andes, bulldozers are destroying forests and homes to create soy fields in an area already strewn with rubble from previous waves of destruction and violence. Based on ethnographic research in this region where the mountains give way to the Gran Chaco lowlands, Gastón R. Gordillo shows how geographic space is inseparable from the material, historical, and affective ruptures embodied in debris. His exploration of the significance of rubble encompasses lost cities, derelict train stations, overgrown Jesuit missions and Spanish forts, stranded steamships, mass graves, and razed forests. Examining the effects of these and other forms of debris on the people living on nearby ranches and farms, and in towns, Gordillo emphasizes that for the rural poor, the rubble left in the wake of capitalist and imperialist endeavors is not romanticized ruin but the material manifestation of the violence and dislocation that created it.

Summary:
Huong Ngô (born 1979) is a Hong Kong–born artist based in Santa Barbara. Her conceptual, research-based practice often takes the form of installation, printmaking and nontraditional mediums. Ungrafting looks at histories of colonial violence, specifically French colonialism in Vietnam, as well as resistance movements, through image-making, translations and material investigations. Ngô turns to a series of early 20th-century photographs showing foreign trees and tree grafts planted in Vietnam by the French. For the artist, grafting—a procedure that involves cutting and splicing different species into a single plant—serves as a powerful metaphor for the physical violence inherent in colonialism. An essay by Justin Quang Nguyên Phan, and conversations between Ngô and Aline Lo and Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi and Chadwick Allen, reflect on the connection between Ngô’s exhibition and global anticolonialism, the trans-Indigenous and the role of the archive in artistic production.

Summary:
War has entered the cities. Since September 11, 2001 at the latest, it has become apparent that this is the case not only in Jerusalem and the Middle East, but also in Western metropolises. This book presents a thorough investigation of the current situation in Jerusalem from a trilateral perspective: Israeli, Palestinian, and international experts air their views. The discussion centers on the production and use of urban space under the conditions created by the conflict, including, for example, the so-called security fence, urban enclaves, exclaves, the approach to monuments and no-man’s-land, and the instrumentalization of infrastructures, which leads to the crass juxtaposition of highly developed and impoverished urban spaces. The conflict, however, does not bring with it destruction and violence alone, but also exhibits ambivalent effects and, along with them, new cultural and urban realities. Jerusalem has become a prototype in the age of new urban violence.
