Résumé:
In "Synthetic: How Life Got Made", cultural anthropologist Sophia Roosth reveals how synthetic biologists make new living things in order to understand better how life works. The first book-length ethnographic study of this discipline, "Synthetic" documents the social, cultural, rhetorical, economic, and imaginative transformations biology has undergone in the post-genomic age. Roosth traces this new science from its origins at MIT to start-ups, laboratories, conferences, and hackers’ garages across the United States—even to contemporary efforts to resurrect extinct species. Her careful research reveals that rather than opening up a limitless new field, these biologists’ own experimental tactics circularly determine the biological features, theories, and limits they fasten upon. Exploring the life sciences emblematic of our time, "Synthetic" tells the origin story of the astonishing claim that biological making fosters biological knowing.

Pour ceux qui y vivent ou pour ceux qui veulent y faire fortune ? Après un désastre écologique comme ceux qui promettent de frapper partout et de plus en plus souvent, deux visions du monde s’affrontent : celle d’ultrariches libertariens, déterminés à transformer l’île en un paradis où ils pourraient vivre à l’abri des tumultes d’un monde dont ils ont su tirer profit, et celle d’une population déterminée à reconstruire ses communautés autrement, pour mieux vivre ensemble, et mieux vivre dans le monde.

Les réflexions sur la propriété sont aujourd’hui dominées par l’économie orthodoxe, qui soutient que l’appropriation privée est optimale en termes d’efficacité productive et de conservation des ressources. Face à ce courant, un mouvement a émergé en faveur des communs – de la nature, de la connaissance et de la société –, pensés comme outils d’une transition vers plus de(...)

Résumé:
Les réflexions sur la propriété sont aujourd’hui dominées par l’économie orthodoxe, qui soutient que l’appropriation privée est optimale en termes d’efficacité productive et de conservation des ressources. Face à ce courant, un mouvement a émergé en faveur des communs – de la nature, de la connaissance et de la société –, pensés comme outils d’une transition vers plus de soutenabilité et de justice sociale. Mais, malgré son importance, ce mouvement semble limité par une absence de réflexion d’ensemble sur la constellation complexe et changeante des formes d’appropriation de la nature. Or depuis trois décennies, d’autres travaux ont renouvelé notre vision de l’histoire longue et conflictuelle de la propriété, saisie dans son rapport à l’environnement : ce sont ces voix que l’ouvrage voudrait faire entendre.

La raréfaction de la neige est une réalité dans ces espaces situés autour de 1 000 mètres d’altitude et pour lesquels le ski a constitué une ressource fondamentale. La diversification des activités sur l’année, en connivence avec le développement de filières agricoles ou industrielles, est une évolution nécessaire déjà enclenchée sur certains sites. Comment penser l’avenir de ces territoires « réchauffés » et enclavés à travers une vision qui embrasse les réalités sociales, économiques et écologiques, et encourage l’alliance avec d’autres entités territoriales?

The essays cover various subjects, including ecological nationalism, the legacy of Grey Owl, the meaning of 'outside' to Canadians, the paradigm shift from mechanism to ecology in our understanding of nature, the meaning and significance of the Anthropocene, the challenges of biodiversity protection in Canada, the conservation status of crossbred species in the age of climate change, and the moral status of ecosystems. This wide range of topics is as diverse and challenging as the Canadian landscape itself.

Résumé:
Nature has always been a source of inspiration for the design of the human environment. The analysis of biological constructions can not only lead to astonishing technical solutions but can also inspire the design of architecture. Bionics is a fascinating border area between pure research and practical application: biologists, chemists, physicists, mineralogists, and paleontologists meet up with material scientists, engineers, and architects and transfer their knowledge to architecture and construction. Using numerous practical examples, this illustrated introduction traces the process from the understanding of how something functions, to abstraction- ?for example, in computer models- ?and the construction of initial prototypes, through to fully functional manufacture and production.

Résumé:
Do both the zoo and the mental hospital induce psychosis, as humans are treated as animals and animals are treated as humans? How have we looked at animals in the past, and how do we look at them today? How have zoos presented themselves, and their purpose, over time? In response to the emergence of environmental and animal studies, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, theorists, literature scholars, and historians around the world have begun to explore the significance of zoological parks, past and present. “Zoo Studies” considers the modern zoo from a range of approaches and disciplines, united in a desire to blur the boundaries between human and nonhuman animals. This collection immerses readers in the lives of animals and their experiences of captivity and asks us to reflect on our own assumptions about both humans and animals. “Zoo Studies” will change the way readers see nonhuman animals and themselves.

This Summer Study was led by Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill, whose work on this topic had previously been funded by countercultural icon Stewart Brand’s Point Foundation. Two painters, the artist and architect Rick Guidice and the planetary science illustrator Don Davis, created renderings for the project that would be widely circulated over the next years and decades and even included in testimony before a Congressional subcommittee. A product of its time, this work is nevertheless relevant to contemporary modes of thinking about architecture. ''Space Settlements'' examines these plans for life in space as serious architectural and spatial proposals.
