Résumé:
The book discusses the ways in which the project can critically contribute to an affirmative biopolitical action of substantial emancipation; it considers space an essential agent, and not only a collective capital, or a support, for adapting our lives to the recent profoundly changed conditions. In all the new research on the future of urban space, the renewed interest in life, tragically affected by health, ecological and socio-political crises, raises a crucial theoretical and projective question: what role can space play in maintaining and promoting life in the broader sense of bíos? This book is based on the conviction that there is an urgent need to revisit the Foucauldian notion of biopolitics - free, however, from the privilege given to the goal of control - to rethink the project of the city and territory in transition in an affirmative and emancipatory way.

Résumé:
Ice animates the look and feel of climate change. It is melting faster than ever before, causing social upheaval among northern coastal communities and disrupting a more southern, temperate world as sea levels rise. Economic, academic, and activist stakeholders are increasingly focused on the unsettling potential of ice as they plan for a future shaped by rapid transformation. Yet, in "Ice geographies," Jen Rose Smith demonstrates that ice has always been at the center of making sense of the world. Ice as homeland is often at the heart of Arctic and sub-Arctic ontologies, cosmologies, and Native politics. Reflections on ice have also long been a constitutive element of Western political thought, but it often privileges a pristine or empty "nature" stripped of power relations. Smith centers ice to study race and indigeneity by investigating ice relations as sites and sources of analysis that are bound up with colonial and racial formations as well as ice geographies beyond those formations. Smith asks, How is ice a racialized geography and imaginary, and how does it also exceed those frameworks?

Résumé:
Using an infamous deception about a fake mountain range in British Columbia as her jumping-off point, Katie Ives, the well-known editor of Alpinist, explores the lure of blank spaces on the map and the value of the imagination. In "Imaginary peaks" she details the cartographical mystery of the Riesenstein Hoax within the larger context of climbing history and the seemingly endless quest for newly discovered peaks and claims of first ascents. "Imaginary peaks" is an evocative, thought-provoking tale, immersed in the literature of exploration, study of maps, and basic human desire.

Résumé:
At the heart of "Is a River Alive?" is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings, who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Macfarlane takes the reader on a mind-expanding global journey into the history, futures, people and places of the ancient, urgent concept. Around the world, rivers are dying from pollution, drought and damming. But a powerful movement is also underway to recognize the lives and the rights of rivers, and to re-animate our relationships with these vast, mysterious presences whose landscapes we share. The young "rights of nature" movement has lit up activists, artists, law-makers and politicians across six continents—and become the focus for revolutionary thinking about rivers in particular.

« Le Laboratoire de fermentation » retrace quatre années d'enquête sur les plantes sauvages et cultivées et les moyens de les faire fermenter. Dans un second temps, apparaissent des notations davantage autobiographiques (hortobiographiques ?). La question que pose Le Laboratoire de fermentation, c'est : comment faire pour ne pas verser dans le pathogène (comme on le dit de la fermentation alimentaire et en psychiatrie aussi) mais, au contraire, d'envisager notre relation à l'humain (individu et société) et au non-humain (végétal et autres), avec toute l'attention et le soin requis aujourd'hui.

Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered.

Résumé:
Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered. It is the annual flood pulse?the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain?that gives a river its vitality, but it is human engineering that kills it, suppressing the flood pulse with dams, irrigation, siltation, dikes, and levees. In demonstrating these threats to the riverine world, award-winning author James C. Scott examines the life history of a particular river, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) of Burma, the heartland and superhighway of Burman culture. Scott opens our understanding of rivers to encompass their entirety?tributaries, wetlands, floodplains, backwaters, eddies, periodic marshlands, and the assemblage of life forms dependent on rivers for their existence and well-being. For anyone interested in the Anthropocene and the Great Acceleration, rivers offer a striking example of the consequences of human intervention in trying to control and domesticate a natural process, the complexity and variability of which we barely understand.

Résumé:
Landscape architecture is at a crossroads. The ability to draw upon interdisciplinary perspectives and generate insights from the combined vantage points of design, environmental studies, and the social sciences puts it in a prime position to address the most pressing issues of our time, such as climate change and social inequality. Its current reliance on digital and technological solutions, however, has increasingly caused landscape architects to lose sight of the ways in which humans actually use spaces. And while landscapes are designed all over the world, the discipline remains inordinately centered on the Global North. ''Landscape Fieldwork'' alters that long-standing paradigm through real-life examples that provide tools for practitioners to engage more deeply with multidimensional, diverse landscapes and the communities that create, live in, and use them.

Résumé:
À l'école de paysage de Versailles de jeunes paysagistes et enseignants inventent de nouvelles manières de penser et de transformer les paysages. Au cœur de leurs démarches : l'écologie de terrain, l'attention au vivant, le réemploi des ressources, l'expérimentation collective. De friches industrielles transformées en parcs vivants aux ateliers participatifs dans les villages ou les quartiers, ces projets explorent des façons inédites de concevoir et de faire durer les espaces publics. Ce livre rassemble une vingtaine de récits issus de cette aventure collective. Trois chapitres scandent cette progression – raciner, bourgeonner, fructifier – comme autant d'étapes d'une pratique vivante du paysage, où conception, réalisation et entretien s'entrelacent. À la fois manuel, récit et manifeste, l'ouvrage esquisse une véritable philosophie du projet de paysage : rustique, pragmatique et inventive. Il invite à repenser nos manières d'habiter et de cultiver le monde, en offrant des pistes concrètes et inspirantes face aux défis écologiques et sociaux contemporains.

Résumé:
First published in 1854, Henry David Thoreau’s Walden has influenced generations of readers and continues to inspire and inform anyone with an open mind, a love of nature, and a longing for simplicity and contemplation. Recounting the author’s reflections on simple living after a period he spent in a small cabin he built near Walden Pond, the book places Thoreau firmly in his role as cultural and spiritual seer. Bill McKibben offers both an intelligent and captivating introduction and a body of insightful annotations to Thoreau’s original edition. He addresses two philosophical questions posed by Thoreau: "How much is enough?" and, "How do I know what I want?", to draw meaningful connections between Thoreau’s writing and our lived experience in the 21st century.
