Résumé:
Récemment, de nombreuses publications ont traité du changement climatique et des questions environnementales du point de vue global. Parallèlement, on assiste à un intérêt croissant pour les architectures d’objets connectés. ''Mauvais temps'' a pour ambition d’allier ces deux phénomènes en une même suite d’interrogations : le bouleversement généralisé du temps compris comme temporalités, époque et climat. Cette réflexion se présente comme une façon d’échapper à ces gardiens du temps que sont les déterminismes aussi bien technologiques, économiques, qu’écologiques. Elle permet d’ouvrir la question des temporalités dans l’Anthropocène. ''Mauvais temps'' présente notre actualité comme autant de lignes de fuite à explorer, de possibles à revisiter, de partages du sensible à réinventer.

Résumé:
In ''Seeing Green'', Finis Dunaway shows how popular environmentalism has been entwined with mass media spectacles of crisis. Beginning with radioactive fallout and pesticides during the 1960s and ending with global warming today, he focuses on key moments in which media images provoked environmental anxiety but also prescribed limited forms of action. Moreover, he shows(...)

Résumé:
In ''Seeing Green'', Finis Dunaway shows how popular environmentalism has been entwined with mass media spectacles of crisis. Beginning with radioactive fallout and pesticides during the 1960s and ending with global warming today, he focuses on key moments in which media images provoked environmental anxiety but also prescribed limited forms of action. Moreover, he shows how the media have blamed individual consumers for environmental degradation and thus deflected attention from corporate and government responsibility. Ultimately, Dunaway argues, iconic images have impeded efforts to realize- or even imagine- sustainable visions of the future.

Résumé:
"Mediating Environments" examines fundamental and radical environmental conditions in the Arctic and provides a spectrum of innovative design approaches and spatial outcomes. Climate organizes and sustains a broad range of activities in the Arctic, and it will dictate the future transformations in northern urban landscapes and their metabolic operations. As such, arctic urbanism must take into account the varied nuances of weather phenomena that are deeply engrained in everyday living practices and biophysical fabrics. By revisiting and reconfiguring the intersections between environmental and design systems, this publication aims to expand conceptual strategies in the arctic beyond the modes of insulation, stabilization, and optimization while repositioning the region as a central figure within the global network of exchanges.

Résumé:
Marcia Bjornerud shows how geologists chart the planet’s past, explaining how we can determine the pace of solid Earth processes such as mountain building and erosion and comparing them with the more unstable rhythms of the oceans and atmosphere. These overlapping rates of change in the Earth system—some fast, some slow—demand a poly-temporal worldview, one that Bjornerud(...)

Résumé:
Marcia Bjornerud shows how geologists chart the planet’s past, explaining how we can determine the pace of solid Earth processes such as mountain building and erosion and comparing them with the more unstable rhythms of the oceans and atmosphere. These overlapping rates of change in the Earth system—some fast, some slow—demand a poly-temporal worldview, one that Bjornerud calls “timefulness.” She explains why timefulness is vital in the Anthropocene, this human epoch of accelerating planetary change, and proposes sensible solutions for building a more time-literate society.
