Cet ouvrage propose de construire une histoire animale de Paris en articulant deux principaux objectifs. D’une part, il s’agit de rendre visibles le rôle et la place des bêtes dans l’histoire de la ville et de révéler que ce sont aussi les vaches, les mésanges, les loups, les fouines, les faucons, les girafes, les chevaux, les brochets et les cerfs qui ont fait le Paris(...)

Summary:
Cet ouvrage propose de construire une histoire animale de Paris en articulant deux principaux objectifs. D’une part, il s’agit de rendre visibles le rôle et la place des bêtes dans l’histoire de la ville et de révéler que ce sont aussi les vaches, les mésanges, les loups, les fouines, les faucons, les girafes, les chevaux, les brochets et les cerfs qui ont fait le Paris d’aujourd’hui. Alors que les animaux ont longtemps été effacés ou minorés des récits dominants, l’histoire que nous campons tente de mettre en lumière ce que la présence animale a généré dans la capitale. D’autre part, en menant cette enquête sur le temps long, en observant les lieux de partage entre l’humain et l’animal, qu’ils soient l’expression de tension, de collaboration ou de domination, il s’agit de dégager des indices pour imaginer ce que pourrait être un Paris à même de créer une altérité avec l’animal ; pour reprendre les mots de la philosophe Donna Haraway : « Nous devons apprendre ainsi, au coeur d’un présent épais, à bien vivre et à bien mourir, ensemble. »

Summary:
During a time when pop stars become famous thanks to sex tapes that have been leaked online, it is clear that the Internet is not immune to the draw of the media. Yet art, academia and activism continue to promote the Internet as an untouched utopia. Animal Spirits: A Bestiary of the Commons addresses the double standard dominating contemporary media discourse and shatters the myths of creative commons, free software and open-source movements, suggesting that "free culture" is an economic parasite siphoning money through peer-to-peer networks. Theorist and digital fetishist Matteo Pasquinelli uses the metaphor of the animal body--which Paul Virilio has characterized as instinctual and reactionary--to counter what he sees as a capitalist exploitation of collective imagery, calling for a radical new understanding of the forces at work behind the digital economy and cultural production.
