The Arctic, part of the international North that is pivotal to the world because of climate change, is no longer a frontier of the past.

Summary:
The North is a complex place that is beautiful, moody, and anything but untouched. The Arctic, part of the international North that is pivotal to the world because of climate change, is no longer a frontier of the past. The same interest in the North that preoccupied artists and explorers of the Romantic era has returned greater than ever, but rather than merely depicting its grandeur, today's artists, scientists, and explorers question the future of the landscape. "Up here" connects art, science, and environment at a time when unprecedented climate change requires unprecedented innovation. The contributors explore the ideas of "wilderness" and "remoteness," the lessons to be learned from cold places and indigenous knowledge, and how the Arctic is a signal for global change.

Demos analyzes the biases within contemporary visual culture popular science websites, remote sensing and SatNav imagery, eco-activist mobilizations, and experimental artistic projects demonstrating that it does not merely describe a geologic period, but actively supports the neoliberal financialization of nature, anthropocentric political economy, and endorsement of geo-engineering as a preferred method of approaching climate change. To develop creative alternatives, Demos argues we need to carefully consider the underlying motives the Anthropocene thesis.

Summary:
Par son lent passage ou ses soudaines fluctuations, l'eau façonne nos villes et nos paysages : les crues et les inondations jalonnent la longue histoire des sociétés humaines, les contraignant à modifier leur habitat. Hanté par les mythes diluviens, antiques puis bibliques, l'Occident a opposé à l'eau parfois colossales d'adaptation et de défense, d'endiguement et d'assèchement, d'artificialisation de l'espace. Typique des temps moderne, cette ingénierie dominatrice de l'eau pose aujourd'hui problème car elle fige le territoire dans ses structures rigides, inhabitables et particulièrement vulnérables aux aléas climatiques qui s'intensifient. C'est sur ces sites sensibles que se réinvente aujourd'hui la gestion des crues. L'analyse des projets les plus innovants en Europe, dans les polders néerlandais, les vallées alpines, les bassins de l'Isar ou l'estuaire du Rhin et de la Meuse, révèle les grands enjeux actuels : se réconcilier avec la naturalité des rivières, accepter une part de leurs débordements pour mieux limiter leurs crues, combiner l'inondation et le développement urbain. Entre histoire culturelle, géographie humaine et recherche urbaine, ce livre envisage ainsi ces nouveaux territoires submersibles comme les paradigmes des paysages habités de demain : écologies, dynamiques, inclusifs et combinatoires.
