Résumé:
Frédérique Basset emprunte le rythme de la nature pour rendre compte du parcours et de l’œuvre de Gilles Clément. En quatre saisons, correspondant à quatre temps de l’existence personnelle et professionnelle du jardinier-paysagiste, l’autrice construit le récit sensible d’une vie et éclaire d’un jour nouveau les choix et les valeurs d’un homme. Elle alterne les passages descriptifs, les citations extraites de livres ou d’articles de Gilles Clément, ainsi que des propos recueillis à l’occasion de différents entretiens en tête-à-tête avec le jardinier. Dans cette nouvelle édition revue et augmentée, la biographie ainsi tissée permet d’accéder aux racines de la pensée et de la vision d’un homme, dans un style enlevé et poétique.

Résumé:
Nourri par plusieurs années d’échanges collectifs autour de l’enseignement et de la recherche, d’arpentage de terrains communs, Hervé Davodeau a pris la plume de cet ouvrage-manifeste. Ce manifeste plaide pour une prise en compte affirmée et fructueuse du paysage dans la réflexion et l’action sur les territoires : « Mettons le paysage au programme! » Mais, au-delà, il se veut force de proposition pour la grande diversité des acteurs et actrices de la sensibilisation, de l’éducation, de la formation professionnelle au et avec le paysage. Parce que fondé sur une posture didactique de questionnement et de recherche sur les pratiques et les finalités de l’enseignement, ce n’est pas un ouvrage militant mais une réflexion critique et engagée.

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.

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.

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.

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.
