Résumé:
La métamorphose, tout vivant y passe. C’est l’expérience élémentaire et originaire de la vie, celle qui définit ses forces et ses limites. Depuis Darwin, nous savons que toute forme de vie – l’être humain compris – n’est que la métamorphose d’une autre, bien souvent disparue.

Résumé:
La métamorphose, tout vivant y passe. C’est l’expérience élémentaire et originaire de la vie, celle qui définit ses forces et ses limites. Depuis Darwin, nous savons que toute forme de vie – l’être humain compris – n’est que la métamorphose d’une autre, bien souvent disparue. De notre naissance à notre alimentation, nous en faisons tous l’expérience. Dans l’acte métamorphique, changement de soi et changement du monde coïncident. Affirmer que toute vie est un fait métamorphique signifie qu’elle traverse les identités et les mondes sans jamais les subir passivement. Cet essai novateur jette les bases d’une philosophie de la métamorphose.

Résumé:
Bien plus qu’un ebook, le livre peut être un objet écologiquement vertueux. À certaines conditions cependant… Or depuis vingt ans, l’objet livre et ses usages se sont profondément transformés – concentration du monde de l’édition, délocalisation des impressions, essor du numérique, etc. Dans une série de petites écofictions, des libraires se sont réuni.e.s pour imaginer le livre du futur. Le résultat : une invitation à ouvrir nos imaginaires, et à penser l’ensemble des interactions liées au livre comme un écosystème – un milieu de vie, tissé et soutenu par un réseau d’interdépendances. Exigences nouvelles des lecteurs, éco-responsabilité, interprofession, « bibliodiversité » : autour de quels piliers voulons-nous construire la chaîne du livre de demain? Dans quelle type d’industrie sera-t-elle prise? Les alternatives sont assurément politiques et tournées vers les communs. Loin des normes et des solutions toutes faites, cet ouvrage collectif dévoile des enjeux qui obligent à de sérieuses réflexions collectives.

Résumé:
In ''¡Presente!: the politics of presence'' Diana Taylor asks what it means to be physically and politically present in situations where it seems that nothing can be done. As much an act, a word, an attitude, a theoretical intervention, and a performance pedagogy, Taylor maps ''¡Presente!'' at work in scenarios ranging from conquest, through colonial enactments and resistance movements, to present moments of capitalist extractivism and forced migration in the Americas. ''¡Presente!''—present among, with, and to; a walking and talking with others; an ontological and epistemic reflection on presence and subjectivity as participatory and relational, founded on mutual recognition—requires rethinking and unlearning in ways that challenge colonial epistemologies. Showing how knowledge is not something to be harvested but a process of being, knowing, and acting with others, Taylor models a way for scholarship to be present in political struggles.

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.

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?

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.
