Résumé:
Our times of crumbling structures and decaying social bonds are often depicted as apocalyptic. This book takes the apocalypse as a metaphor to help us in the search for meaning in our everyday realities. Yes, the apocalypse is when social structures and institutions fall apart and we are terrified and suffocated by the debris raining down upon us. But 'apocalypse' also means 'revelation'. The very collapse reveals what dissipating institutions were constructed upon: where there ought to have been foundational common values, most often there is violence and raw power. Yet the values are there, too, and they can be found. This book is a guide to these values, showing how they can be of help to organizers and organizational dreamers.

Résumé:
Degrowth is an emerging social movement that overlaps with proposals for systemic change such as anti-globalization and climate justice, commons and transition towns, basic income and Buen Vivir. ''Degrowth in Movement(s)'' reflects on the current situation of social movements aiming at overcoming capitalism, industrialism and domination. The essays ask: What is the key idea of the respective movement? Who is active? What is the relation with the degrowth movement? What can the degrowth movement learn from these other movements and the other way around? Which common proposals, but also which contradictions, oppositions and tensions exist? And what alliances could be possible for broader systemic transformations?

Elizabeth A. Povinelli has mapped the creation and dismantling of worlds formed by the twinning of historical progress and settler colonialism—as a unity in events and a contradiction in ideology. Even if corporations and nation-states now collude in the same Ponzi schemes, they still continue to transform space and time. At the receiving end of the ideological exhaust(...)

Résumé:
Elizabeth A. Povinelli has mapped the creation and dismantling of worlds formed by the twinning of historical progress and settler colonialism—as a unity in events and a contradiction in ideology. Even if corporations and nation-states now collude in the same Ponzi schemes, they still continue to transform space and time. At the receiving end of the ideological exhaust pipe, where transformation is inherited as deformation, the diagram flips to place brutality and existential exhaustion at the beginning. But the beginning of what? How about a new beginning, starting with modes of survival and persistence against, and within, a world built from deferred promises? This is a world that many in the imperial hemisphere are only starting to realize they’ve known for longer than they want to admit.

Résumé:
In "Wonderflux" you will find yourself in front of disappearing mirrors held up to curators, critics, and artists; sailing through counterfactual universes; face-to-face with cold-blooded killers, faceless men, weary but buoyant prophets; all the while imbued with stubborn thriving and stubborn refusal to be moved or monetized, and once in a while having earnest conversations with robot(s and) workers. The authors included here have shaped the varied concerns and urgencies of e-flux journal since 2008. As a theory-driven art journal made up entirely of hypertext and digital images and embraced by academic circles, we sometimes wonder about the artistic and sensual use of text and image. Does the thinking of some of our favorite authors also speak to a place beyond floods of automatic links and references and rectangular photographic portals? To a broader and more applied artistic domain like the imaginative sensibility of illustration, where entire worlds arise from the simple and deliberate placement of lines on paper?

Résumé:
From its foundation in 1957 to its self-dissolution in 1972, the Situationist International established itself as one of the most radical revolutionary organisations of the twentieth century. This book brings together leading researchers on the SI to provide a comprehensive critical analysis of the group's key concepts and contexts, from its relationship to earlier artistic avant-gardes, romanticism, Hegelianism, the history of the workers' movement and May '68 to the concepts and practices of 'spectacle', 'constructed situations', 'everyday life' and 'detournement'. The volume also considers historically underexamined areas of the SI, including the situation of women in the group and its opposition to colonialism and racism. With contributions from a broad range of thinkers including Anselm Jappe and Michael Loewy, this account takes a fresh look at the complex workings of a group that has come to define radical politics and culture in the post-war period.

Résumé:
Riots are extraordinary events that have been recurring with increasing frequency and occupy a highly controversial space in the political imagination. Despite their often negative portrayals, it is undeniable that riots have played a pivotal role in the confrontation between authority and dissent. Recently, with the deepening crises of capitalism, racial violence, and communal tension, an 'age of riots' has powerfully begun. As master fictions of the sovereign nation-state implode, and the hegemonic silencing of the dispossessed reveals the cracks in governability, 'Nights of the Dispossessed: Riots Unbound' brings together artistic works, political texts, critical urban analyses, and research projects from across the world in an endeavor to 'sense,' chronicle, and think through recent riots and uprisings - evoking a phenomenology of the multitude and surplus population.

Résumé:
This is the first book in a new annual series published by CCA Wattis Institute (San Francisco). Each book in the series is driven by a central question: what are we learning from artists today? This volume is informed by themes related to the work of Dodie Bellamy and revolves around questions related to contemporary forms of feminism and sexualities, the rebirth of the author, and ways in which vulnerability, perversion, vulgarity, and self-exposure can be forms of empowerment. The texts cover a broad array of styles, including memoir, theoretical essay, art historical analysis, poetry, and fiction. The visual elements are equally diverse, ranging from photographs to collage to drawing.

Résumé:
Les peuples autochtones d'Amérique du Sud ont connu une forme de fin du monde au XVIe siècle après l'invasion de leurs terres par les Européens. Dans ce petit livre Ailton Krenak, figure éminente des luttes autochtones du Brésil, se demande en quoi cet héritage ne pourrait pas fournir un regard averti pour affronter les conséquences du nouveau régime climatique de l'Anthropocène. Cette parole, véritable anthropologie inversée, se situe au lieu d'un renversement de perspectives : avec la mutation en cours des conditions du maintien de la vie sur Terre, ne serait-ce pas l'humanité organisée sur les fondements de la modernité dont il serait plus à craindre qu'elle soit démunie des facultés d'adaptation requises ? Tout compte fait, ne serait-ce pas plutôt les peuples autochtones, par leurs ancestrales stratégies de résistance, qui pourraient indiquer une voie susceptible de retarder l'avancée « du désert et de la dévastation » engendrée par le surdéveloppement technocapitaliste ?

Résumé:
Rencontre entre deux très grandes figures de l'anthropologie sur les origines de l'État. L’originalité du commentaire de Viveiros de Castro s’exprime de deux manières : 1. en proposant une analyse inédite de la réception philosophique de Clastres en France. 2. en montrant en quoi l’œuvre de Clastres a introduit une « révolution copernicienne » dans les théories classiques de l’anthropologie politique qui voudraient que l'État organisé fût la finalité de toute société. Viveiros de Castro se saisi du mot d’ordre de Clastres « société contre l’État » en faisant du signifiant « indigène » le mot d’ordre d’un Brésil « mineur » (Deleuze et Guattari : comme devenir résistant à une norme répressive). Pour montrer cela il développe l'idée de « politique indigène » qui, au regard de la crise environnementale, redéfini le politique selon nos capacités à habiter, partout localement, la Terre.
