Résumé:
In a world propelled by swift technological progress and perpetual obsolescence, women frequently find themselves adapting and altering their daily experiences in order to remain functional. In the 21st century, as technology purports to comprehensively assess and address women’s conditions and physical discomfort, ''Cycles, the Sacred and the Doomed'' delves deeply into the realm of female health technologies, revealing a space where science, holistic methods and mythology converge. This book challenges the idea of combining ancient wisdom with modern innovation and takes readers on a multidisciplinary journey to explore the intricacies of women’s health. What roles can digital tools and devices play in promoting female health? How can the use of digital tools and devices be beneficial for the promotion of female well-being? How might digital tools and devices be used to support and improve these systems?

Résumé:
Mener la bataille culturelle contre l’extrême droite : Les terroirs ne sentent pas la naphtaline ni les fromages au lait cru, ils sont la relation des humains à leur milieu et ce qui en découle. En cela, ils peuvent aussi bien s’incarner dans le sel de Camargue, les fest-noz de Bretagne ou même le rap en Seine-Saint-Denis. Depuis qu’à la Révolution les Jacobins l’ont(...)

Résumé:
Mener la bataille culturelle contre l’extrême droite : Les terroirs ne sentent pas la naphtaline ni les fromages au lait cru, ils sont la relation des humains à leur milieu et ce qui en découle. En cela, ils peuvent aussi bien s’incarner dans le sel de Camargue, les fest-noz de Bretagne ou même le rap en Seine-Saint-Denis. Depuis qu’à la Révolution les Jacobins l’ont emporté, les particularismes locaux n’ont cessé d’agiter notre vie politique, jusqu’à la manipulation identitaire actuelle par une extrême droite en pleine expansion. Pourtant, c’est dans l’enracinement que naissent les ferments des luttes. Que ce soit autrefois chez les sardinières de Douarnenez ou aujourd’hui à Sivens, défendre les terroirs comme identités vivantes ce n’est pas faire le lit du repli sur soi. Au contraire, c’est participer au renouveau de la gauche, qui devrait y voir une ressource féconde.

Résumé:
"Aesop’s Anthropology" is a guide for thinking through the perplexing predicaments and encounters that arise as the line between human and nonhuman shifts in modern life. Recognizing that culture is not unique to humans, John Hartigan Jr. asks what we can learn about culture from other species. He pursues a variety of philosophical and scientific ideas about what it means to be social using cultural dynamics to rethink what we assume makes humans special and different from other forms of life. Through an interlinked series of brief essays, Hartigan explores how we can think differently about being human.

Résumé:
On the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023, Melani McAlister began to use her journal to track the rapid development of the conflict and the parallel evolution in the ways it was represented in the US media. Drawing on McAlister’s decades of experience as a scholar of US–Middle East relations, as well as her personal history in activism, this incisive and dynamic text traces the devastating development of the current war in real time, identifying echoes with previous moments in the history of the region and the protests and artistic responses they prompted. This series of meditations explores the enduring power of narrative and memory, threading throughout the work of Arab and Arab American poets and musicians to tell a story of Palestinian resistance and resilience. ''Promises, Then the Storm'' is a reflection on the significance of Palestinian liberation at a moment when it has never been more urgently at stake – one that reckons with possibilities for justice and equality and the hopes carried by activists and artists, against all odds, into the future.

Résumé:
Issu d'une recherche empirique, « Espaces pédagogiques alternatifs : de l'utopie à l'institutionnalisation » enquête sur la manière dont les espaces de pédagogies alternatives se créent, se développent et se transforment. Cofondatrice de l'école d'art indépendante et espace communautaire Open School East, initié à Londres en 2013, Anna Colin en a été la directrice entre 2013 et 2021. Elle explore dans cet ouvrage les facteurs permettant l'implantation de structures, leurs cycles de vie, ainsi que le décalage possible entre les pratiques et les valeurs qui les font exister. L'enquête analyse les caractéristiques et les prérequis à ce que Colin appelle « les établissements pédagogiques multi-publics ». Elle se penche également sur les situations épineuses qui guettent les projets résolument alternatifs : processus d'habituation, tentation ou nécessité de s'agrandir, collectes de fonds qui malmènent l'éthique de travail, longévité, ou le simple désir de parvenir à la viabilité et à la stabilité.

Terres frontalières . La frontera . La nouvelle mestiza . Voici enfin traduit en français Borderlands/La Frontera, le chef-d'oeuvre de la féministe chicana Gloria Anzaldúa, le livre fondateur de la pensée queer décoloniale états-unienne.. Ce livre hybride mêle les genres [essai et poésie] et les langues [anglais, différentes formes d'espagnol et quelques touches de langue indigène aztèque), pour mieux évoquer l'existence méconnue et précaire de celleux qui vivent entre deux mondes, à la frontière entre les cultures et les langues : les Chicanx dans la culture anglo-saxonne, les femmes dans la culture hispanique, les lesbiennes dans le monde hétéronormé, etc. Pour Anzaldúa, la frontière ne délimite pas des espaces, géographiques ou symboliques. Au contraire, elle crée de nouveaux territoires, les Borderlands. Dans ces « Terres frontalières » se construit une identité autre, « la nouvelle mestiza », qui rend possibles des façons inédites d'être au monde.

Résumé:
Big Tech firms dominate the global economy. But what value do they actually produce? In this brilliant survey of global tech economy, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni argue that the role of firms like Amazon and Google, Palantir and Uber, is in the automation of circulation. By applying digital technologies to processes of market exchange—everything from advertising and shopping, to logistics and financial services—Big Tech aims to subject these activities to the level of control and predictability that capital has secured in industrial production. But there is a way out of the multiple crises that Big Tech has helped precipitate. If we are to break their grip on the global economy then it’ll take more than just antitrust legislation or reducing individual time online. By understanding the central role Big Tech plays in contemporary capitalism, Dyer-Witheford and Mularoni argue that what is required instead is a new, ambitious and comprehensive program of democratic collective planning that can move us beyond capitalism. ''Cybernetic Circulation Complex'' offers not only a compelling analysis of the power of Big Tech and their role in our current global crises, but a roadmap for a new form of life: biocommunism, a digital degrowth that can help us steer between the double boundaries of ecological sustainability and equitable social development.

Résumé:
In his new book, critical theorist Mark Neocleous engages in a sustained critique of the theory and practice of pacification. Combining philosophical analysis with historical detail, Neocleous analyses the development of pacification as a key concept through which capitalist modernity has been organised, offering readers the first book that treats pacification as an important concept in the history of state power and capitalism. Neocleous’s approach is fourfold, examining pacification as social warfare carried out through the ideology of peace; as a form of social police carried out through mechanisms of security; as law and order exercised through the permanent wars of class society; and as the myriad practices of power designed to counter insurgency. Making use of official documents of state, the writings of counterinsurgency thinkers and the ideas perpetuated by practitioners of counterrevolution, the book unravels the complex ways through which pacification generates new forms of social war and new modes of policing that reproduce capitalist order and fabricate obedient subjects. Through expansive accounts of war and police, and engaging with a range of topics from debt to death, from stasis to civil war, and from the police kettle to the politics of fear, the book offers a provocative analysis of the ways in which state and capital combine to build a pacified social order.

Résumé:
Drawing inspiration from a forgotten play by Valerie Solanas—who wrote the SCUM Manifesto and shot Andy Warhol—Chu aims her searing wit and surgical intuition at targets ranging from performance art to psychoanalysis, incels to porn, and even feminists like herself. Each step of the way she defends the indefensible claim that femaleness is less a biological state of women and more a fatal existential condition that afflicts the entire human race—men, women, and everyone else. In a new afterword, Chu reflects on the book’s reception, the growing anti-trans movement in America, and the continuing need for a radical theory of desire.
