Résumé:
Capitalism has transformed the world and increased our productivity, but at the cost of enormous human suffering. Our shared values- equality and fairness, democracy and freedom, community and solidarity- can provide both the basis for a critique of capitalism and help to guide us toward a socialist and democratic society. Erik Olin Wright has distilled decades of work into this concise and tightly argued manifesto: analyzing the varieties of anticapitalism, assessing different strategic approaches, and laying the foundations for a society dedicated to human flourishing. ''How to be an anticapitalist in the twenty-first century'' is an urgent and powerful argument for socialism, and an unparalleled guide to help us get there. Another world is possible. Included is an afterword by the author’s close friend and collaborator Michael Burawoy.

Profit is the original genius of homo sapiens, who learned how to unleash the energy stored in wood, exploit the land, and refashion ecosystems. As civilization developed, we found more and more ways of extracting surplus value from the earth, often deploying brutally effective methods to discipline people to do the work needed.

Résumé:
Profit is the original genius of homo sapiens, who learned how to unleash the energy stored in wood, exploit the land, and refashion ecosystems. As civilization developed, we found more and more ways of extracting surplus value from the earth, often deploying brutally effective methods to discipline people to do the work needed. Historian Mark Stoll explains how capitalism supercharged this process and traces its many environmental consequences. The financial innovations of medieval Italy created trade networks that, with the European discovery of the Americas, made possible vast profits and sweeping cultural changes, to the detriment of millions of slaves and indigenous Americans; the industrial age united the world in trade and led to an energy revolution that changed lives everywhere. But when efficient production left society awash in goods, a new sort of capitalism, predicated on endless individual consumption, took its place.

Dans les industries de consommation, le design, la mode, la publicité, la décoration, le cinéma, le show-business des produits chargés de séduction sont créés en masse. Ils véhiculent des affects et de la sensibilité, ils agencent un univers esthétique proliférant et hétérogène par l’éclectisme des styles qui s’y déploie.

Résumé:
In Anime’s Media Mix, Marc Steinberg convincingly shows that anime is far more than a style of Japanese animation. He traces the cultural genealogy that spawned Astro Boy to the transformations of Japanese media culture that followed—and forward to the even more profound developments in global capitalism supported by the circulation of characters like Doraemon, Hello Kitty, and Suzumiya Haruhi. He details how convergence was sparked by anime, with its astoundingly broad merchandising of images and its franchising across media and commodities. He also explains how the rise of anime cannot be understood properly—historically, economically, and culturally—without grasping the integral role that the media mix played from the start. Engaging with film, animation, and media studies, as well as analyses of consumer culture and theories of capitalism, Steinberg offers a sustained study of the Japanese mode of convergence that informs global media practices to this day.

Résumé:
Que peut bien vouloir dire « droit à la ville » ? Cette interrogation est indissociable d’une multitude d’autres questions. Quelle ville voulons-nous ? Quel genre de personnes voulons-nous être ? À quelles relations sociales aspirons-nous ? Quelle vie quotidienne trouvons-nous désirable ? Quelles valeurs esthétiques défendons-nous ? Quel rapport à la nature souhaitons-nous promouvoir ? Quelles technologies jugeons-nous appropriées ? Le droit à la ville ne se réduit ainsi pas à un droit d’accès individuel aux ressources incarnées par la ville : c’est un droit à nous changer nous-mêmes en changeant la ville de façon à la rendre plus conforme à nos désirs les plus fondamentaux. C’est aussi un droit plus collectif qu’individuel, puisque, pour changer la ville, il faut nécessairement exercer un pouvoir collectif sur les processus d’urbanisation. Il importe dans cette perspective de décrire et d’analyser la manière dont, au cours de l’histoire, nous avons été façonnés et refaçonnés par un processus d'urbanisation toujours plus effréné et étendu, animé par de puissantes forces sociales et ponctué de violentes phases de restructurations urbaines par « destruction créative », ainsi que par les résistances et les révoltes que ces restructurations suscitaient.
