Résumé:
'Handbook of Tyranny' portrays the routine cruelties of the 21st century through a series of detailed nonfictional graphic illustrations. None of these cruelties represent extraordinary violence—they reflect day-to-day implementation of laws and regulations around the globe. Every page of the book questions our current world of walls and fences, police tactics and prison cells, crowd control and refugee camps. The dry and factual style of storytelling through technical drawings is the graphic equivalent to bureaucratic rigidity born of laws and regulations. The level of detail depicted in the illustrations of the book mirrors the repressive efforts taken by authorities around the globe.

The author notes, "This book traces the journey of those Indigenous people who have found a way to transcend the colonial identities which are the legacy of our history and live as Onkwehonwe, original people. It is dialogue and reflection on the process of transcending colonialism in a personal and collective sense: making meaningful change in our lives and transforming society by recreating our personalities, regenerating our cultures, and surging against forces that keep us bound to our colonial past."

Résumé:
Virginia Woolf, to whom university admittance had been forbidden, watched the universities open their doors. Though she was happy that her sisters could study in university libraries, she cautioned women against joining the procession of educated men and being co-opted into protecting a civilization with values alien to women. Now, as Woolf's disloyal (unfaithful) daughters, who have professional positions in Belgian universities, Isabelle Stengers and Vinciane Despret, along with a collective of women scholars in Belgium and France, question their academic careers and reexamine the place of women and their role in thinking, both inside and outside the university. They urge women to heed Woolf's cry-Think We Must-and to always make a fuss about injustice, cruelty, and arrogance.

Résumé:
Delving behind Canada’s veneer of multiculturalism and tolerance, ''Policing Black lives'' traces the violent realities of anti-blackness from the slave ships to prisons, classrooms and beyond. Robyn Maynard provides readers with the first comprehensive account of nearly four hundred years of state-sanctioned surveillance, criminalization and punishment of Black lives in Canada. While highlighting the ubiquity of Black resistance, ''Policing Black lives'' traces the still-living legacy of slavery across multiple institutions, shedding light on the state’s role in perpetuating contemporary Black poverty and unemployment, racial profiling, law enforcement violence, incarceration, immigration detention, deportation, exploitative migrant labour practices, disproportionate child removal and low graduation rates. Emerging from a critical race feminist framework that insists that all Black lives matter, Maynard’s intersectional approach to anti-Black racism addresses the unique and understudied impacts of state violence as it is experienced by Black women, Black people with disabilities, as well as queer, trans, and undocumented Black communities.

Résumé:
In an era of increasing individualism, we have never been more isolated and dispirited. A paradox confronts us. While research and technology find new ways to measure contentment and popular culture encourages us to think of happiness as a human right, misery is abundant. Segal believes we have lost the art of “radical happiness”—the liberation that comes with transformative, collective joy. She argues that instead of obsessing about our own well-being we should seek fulfilment in the lives of others. Examining her own experience in the women’s movement, Segal looks at the relationship between love and sex, and the scope for utopian thinking as a means to a better future. She also shows how the gaps in care that come from the diminishing role of the welfare state must be replaced by alternative ways of living together and looking after one another.

Résumé:
À travers la collection « Manifeste du Muséum », l’institution investit le débat public afin de faire entendre une voix scientifique forte fondée sur l’apport de l’histoire naturelle dans la manière d’appréhender les grands enjeux qui traversent la société contemporaine. Elle poursuit ainsi sa vocation séculaire de transmission des savoirs et de sensibilisation au devenir de notre planète. Le Muséum interroge les limites des catégories « femme » et « homme », à une époque où s’expriment des sensibilités variées qu bousculent le cadre des « identités » bien établies et l’idée même d’une « orientation sexuelle » définie. Quel regard posent les sciences sur ces notions de sexe et de genre?

Résumé:
Comment sortir d'un modèle de consommation et de production intoxiqué par le capitalisme financier et réinventer l'Etat social abîmé par l'Etat néolibéral ? Création de monnaies locales, épiceries coopératives, parcs éoliens citoyens... Hervé Defalvard analyse ces changements dans nos pratiques quotidiennes comme autant de réponses face à la crise du sens et de nos relations aux vivants. Encore fragmentée mais véhiculant un nouveau mode de vie, ces alternatives permettent d'entrevoir une société du commun. Translocale, la société du commun dessine des liens entre les territoires, à différentes échelles, pour une gouvernance collective et polycentrique des biens communs. C'est pourquoi une large place est faite dans ce livre aux initiatives locales et aux acteurs qui construisent, sur les territoires, des solidarités relatives à l'emploi, l'habitat, la santé, la culture, pour une société inclusive et durable. La transition écologique et sociale est urgente : pour la faire advenir, de nouvelles institutions sont à inventer.
