Nature no longer exists apart from humanity. Henceforth, the world we will inhabit is the one we have made. Geologists have called this new planetary epoch the Anthropocene, the Age of Humans. The geological strata we are now creating record industrial emissions, industrial-scale crop pollens, and the disappearance of species driven to extinction. Climate change is(...)

Résumé:
Nature no longer exists apart from humanity. Henceforth, the world we will inhabit is the one we have made. Geologists have called this new planetary epoch the Anthropocene, the Age of Humans. The geological strata we are now creating record industrial emissions, industrial-scale crop pollens, and the disappearance of species driven to extinction. Climate change is planetary engineering without design. These facts of the Anthropocene are scientific, but its shape and meaning are questions for politics—a politics that does not yet exist. After Nature develops a politics for this post-natural world.

Résumé:
Most people have memories of playing on well-manicured lawns or running across the flat green surface of a local park, but we often don’t think of grasses as something we consume. Indeed, grasses include four species—wheat, rice, maize, and sugar—that provide sixty percent of human calorie intake, and we become more and more dependent on these as the world’s population(...)

Résumé:
Most people have memories of playing on well-manicured lawns or running across the flat green surface of a local park, but we often don’t think of grasses as something we consume. Indeed, grasses include four species—wheat, rice, maize, and sugar—that provide sixty percent of human calorie intake, and we become more and more dependent on these as the world’s population increases. In this book, Stephen Harris explains the history of our relationship with these vital plants from the end of the last Ice Age to the present day.

Résumé:
While destruction as a theme can be traced throughout art history, from the early atomic age it has remained a pervasive and compelling element of contemporary visual culture. Damage Control features the work of more than 40 international artists working in a range of media--painting, sculpture, photography, film, installation, and performance--who have used destruction as a means of responding to their historical moment and as a strategy for inciting spectacle and catharsis, as a form of rebellion and protest, or as an essential part of re-creation and restoration.

Résumé:
La société antique tenait ses morts à bonne distance de la cité, enfermés dans de vastes nécropoles ou dans des mausolées familiaux, le long des routes. Au Moyen Age, les morts furent au contraire attirés au cœur de l'habitat et ensevelis, le plus souvent de manière collective et anonyme, dans des terrains protégés que la population labourait et retournait régulièrement.(...)

La société antique tenait ses morts à bonne distance de la cité, enfermés dans de vastes nécropoles ou dans des mausolées familiaux, le long des routes. Au Moyen Age, les morts furent au contraire attirés au cœur de l'habitat et ensevelis, le plus souvent de manière collective et anonyme, dans des terrains protégés que la population labourait et retournait régulièrement. Ces lieux, auxquels fut bientôt donné le nom de "cimetières", accueillaient aussi des artisans dans leurs ateliers, des marchands dans leurs échoppes, des spectacles et des jeux, ou encore des assemblées de justice.

Résumé:
Bringing together a sequence of subtle and disquieting photographs with a dozen compact short stories, ''Pharmakon'' is a surprising new work from the singular mind of Teju Cole. The photographs were taken across the globe and extend the oblique point of view he developed in ''Fernweh'' (2020). Interspersed among the images are texts that emerge like intimate signals from our age of crisis, mining further the exquisite linguistic control that characterizes Cole’s novels ''Open City'' (2011) and ''Tremor'' (2023). The result is a work of strange beauty that startles and consoles in equal measure.

Faut-il plutôt situer son émergence véritable à la fin du Moyen Age? En Italie ou bien dans le nord de l'Europe? Et apparaît-il d'abord en peinture et ensuite dans la littérature? Le paysage réel est-il postérieur à la représentation picturale? Le volume richement illustré de Michael Jakob ne prétend pas fournir des réponses définitives à ces questions, mais il propose plutôt des suggestions aux problèmes actuels.
