Résumé:
An extinction burst occurs when bad behaviour intensifies before stopping. Undesirable qualities can become entrenched through positive reinforcement. But if the world changes and no longer provides us with the same feedback, we lose our minds: to the privileged, equality feels like persecution.

Résumé:
An extinction burst occurs when bad behaviour intensifies before stopping. Undesirable qualities can become entrenched through positive reinforcement. But if the world changes and no longer provides us with the same feedback, we lose our minds: to the privileged, equality feels like persecution. Extinction bursts are forms of active denial; refusals to accept the past as gone, and desperate attempts to preserve the potential of an impossible reality. Today, modernity’s worst tendencies return intensified: patriarchy, racism, plutocracy, colonialism, exploitation, rentierism, genocide. Even attempts at redemption, restoration and stasis accelerate the decline.

Résumé:
Another Reason is a bold and innovative study of the intimate relationship between science, colonialism, and the modern nation. Gyan Prakash, one of the most influential historians of India writing today, explores in fresh and unexpected ways the complexities, contradictions, and profound importance of this relationship in the history of the subcontinent. He reveals how science served simultaneously as an instrument of empire and as a symbol of liberty, progress, and universal reason--and how, in playing these dramatically different roles, it was crucial to the emergence of the modern nation.

How do we understand landscape today? How do we discuss and visualize nature? Can they be conceived and represented as something existing independently of the viewer, now that the human race has gotten into a very last corner of the world? 'Landscape with(out) Locus' interprets landscape as an ever-changing social, economic, and ecological construct. Addressing questions of power, identity, and natural resources, the publication follows histories of surveillance and colonialism, considering photographic (and post-photographic) images as central to the process of interacting with the world.

Résumé:
In 'As we have always done', Leanne Betasamosake Simpson locates Indigenous political resurgence as a practice rooted in uniquely Indigenous theorizing, writing, organizing, and thinking. Indigenous resistance is a radical rejection of contemporary colonialism focused around the refusal of the dispossession of both Indigenous bodies and land. Simpson makes clear that its goal can no longer be cultural resurgence as a mechanism for inclusion in a multicultural mosaic. Instead, she calls for unapologetic, place-based Indigenous alternatives to the destructive logics of the settler colonial state, including heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalist exploitation.

Résumé:
Pour les Québécois, le projet hydroélectrique de la Baie-James, lancé en 1971, a marqué le point culminant de la Révolution tranquille. C’était la prise de possession, physique et symbolique, de l’ensemble du territoire sur lequel le peuple du Québec était destiné à connaître enfin son plein épanouissement. Et si ce grand projet avait un côté sombre ? Et si, en affirmant notre langue, notre culture et notre emprise sur le territoire, nous avions été sourds et aveugles à l’attachement d’un autre peuple à sa langue, à sa culture et au territoire que ses ancêtres occupaient depuis des millénaires ? Choquant, dérangeant, exprimant des vérités sur lesquelles on préférerait parfois fermer les yeux, ce livre est un document essentiel pour comprendre le point de vue des Inuit dans le bras de fer qui les a opposés à Québec. C’est une occasion unique d’entendre une voix qui a eu bien peu d’échos au Sud et, pour les Québécois, de faire un examen de conscience salutaire quant à la façon dont ils ont, par le passé, transigé avec les Premières Nations.

The word Wasáse is the Kanienkeha (Mohawk) word for the ancient war dance ceremony of unity, strength, and commitment to action. 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:
An intricate tapestry of personal and collective memory, Mashid Mohadjerin’s work interweaves photography, text, video, and archival material to explore displacement, resistance, and identity. She reconstructs the past not as a distant realm but as something tangible, living within language, inherited trauma, and memory. In "Riding in silence & the crying dervish," the tension between imposed identity and self-definition is key to the artist’s exploration of masculinity and how it is shaped by war, colonialism, nationalism, and religious ideology. Through the lens of her father’s memories, Mohadjerin reveals how even the simplest actions become acts of quiet defiance.

Résumé:
Director of the Generali Foundation from 2008 to 2014, Sabine Folie helped establish the institution's reputation for generating new critical discussion on contemporary art through revisiting modernism. This survey catalog, illustrated with photographs and source materials, documents the extensive collection of works acquired during Folie's tenure. Essays by theorists and artists reflect on contemporary art themes exploring areas such as linguistic devices, the dismantling of representation and the reorganization of pictorial space, the changing roles of artist and museums, the relationship between subject and environment due to globalization and post-colonialism, artistic processing of history and the production of memorial culture.
