Résumé:
« Décarbonation de l'économie », « énergies renouvelables », « transition écologique », etc., le discours des principales associations, ONG et personnalités du « mouvement climat », de Cyril Dion à Bon Pote, rejoint en grande partie celui des entreprises et des États, de plus en plus nombreux à promettre d'atteindre la « neutralité carbone » d'ici 2030 ou 2050. Dans les faits, le désastre écologique continue imperturbablement, et est même aggravé par l'extractivisme nécessaire au développement des énergies dites « renouvelables » et des technologies dites « propres » ou « vertes » en général. Comment en sommes-nous arrivés là? Et comment retrouver un mouvement écologiste digne de ce nom?

Résumé:
Plus la crise écologique s'aggrave, plus l'écologie devient une idéologie dominante. Elle nous promet un monde « décarboné » grâce au tout-électrique, au tout-numérique et au « nucléaire vert ». Mais capitalisme et écologie sont incompatibles. Le capitalisme repose sur l'exploitation de prolétaires dans des entreprises forcées par la concurrence d'accumuler plus de valeur(...)

Résumé:
Plus la crise écologique s'aggrave, plus l'écologie devient une idéologie dominante. Elle nous promet un monde « décarboné » grâce au tout-électrique, au tout-numérique et au « nucléaire vert ». Mais capitalisme et écologie sont incompatibles. Le capitalisme repose sur l'exploitation de prolétaires dans des entreprises forcées par la concurrence d'accumuler plus de valeur que leurs rivales. La quête incessante de productivité entraîne surproduction, surconsommation... aux effets destructeurs pour les prolétaires, pour l'humanité et pour la planète. Il n'y aura pas de « révolution écologique » sans révolution sociale qui rompt avec les rapports de classe.

Résumé:
How can landscape and urban studies more effectively engage in transdisciplinary dialogue, sensuousness and affect, and pluriversal worlds? "Researching otherwise" presents sensory, collaborative, and restitutive methodological tools for crafting new spaces of knowledge production. Through activities such as drawing, photographing, filmmaking, sounding, listening, walking, and mapmaking, these researchers explore regenerative futures in new ways, from non-human companions to visual ethnographic studies with refugees.

Résumé:
In "The Aquarium is a Listening Glass", nine short, non-linear stories—set amid scientific archives, underwater research stations, natural history museums, national aquaria and oceanic infrastructure—evoke the glass as a listening device to present singular relationships between humans and fish that would otherwise go unheard. In this paradigm shift, design plays a fundamental role in conceiving the object (and the book) as a sensory device to glimpse new forms of mediation, to generate alliances, and also to promote the potential for a thriving and vital world.

De la grotte au repaire de brigands, de la "chambre à soi" de Virginia Woolf à la cabane dans les bois de Thoreau, de notre jardin à notre lit, cet essai explore les abris auxquels nous rêvons et qui nous font rêver. Aspiration au retrait autant qu'appel à s'ouvrir, nos refuges sont des chrysalides : ils donnent forme à notre imaginaire. Parce qu'elle échappe à l'injonction de transparence, la part de nous qui s'y loge est le berceau de notre intime création. Trouver son refuge c'est inventer un espace pour raconter son histoire, comme les enfants construisent leur cabane pour échafauder de nouveaux mondes.

Nobody writes about art like Estelle Hoy.

Résumé:
Nobody writes about art like Estelle Hoy. Overpriced cheesecakes are the starting point for an essay on art writing; shoplifting in Berlin opens to a reflection on the economies of activist practices; fiction allows for discussion of the legacy of institutional critique, queer mélanges or quiet melancholy. To her, the story of art becomes more nuanced in light of lyrics by Arthur Russell, the posthumous sorrow of Sylvia Plath or a poem by Yvonne Rainer. "Saké Blue" gathers Hoy’s critical essays and reviews, primarily on women artists. Echoing the work of Hervé Guibert or Camille Henrot, Hoy’s writing suggests that art can be the place for subjectivities to take shape in relation to forms, ideas and the other.

Résumé:
A complex bamboo pyramid to block a busy crossing in London. A maze of 'mini Stonehenge' brick structures to hinder government crackdowns in Hong Kong. The takeover of a Dallas highway to create a temporary public square. Architects have often used their skills in struggles for civil rights, gender equality and climate justice. Illuminating the role that design has played in protest movements, Nick Newman explores the colliding worlds of architecture and activism through the stories of those who have built for change. Using historic and contemporary examples, Protest Architecture analyses the design problems and solutions faced by protestors on the streets through detailed drawings, photography and expert insight. From beacons to barricades, towers to treehouses, this unique design typology demonstrates architectural influence over moments of societal change. This is a retelling of protest history through the eyes of an architect.

Résumé:
This book brings together Kenneth Frampton's essays from the 1960s to today which epitomize his reflections on the historical–theoretical entanglements of architecture with place, the public realm, cultural identity, urban landscape and environment, and the political question of the “predicament” of architecture in the new Millennium. The essays explore Frampton's contention that architecture's imperative is to assume a significant responsibility for the edification and stewardship of the Arendtian ''public world.'' One of the most theoretically sophisticated and politically committed architectural thinkers, Frampton's work breaks emphatically with the limits and norms of much contemporary practice and restores a sense of richness and social consequence of architecture's 'unfinished project,' while offering abiding lessons not only for architecture but for social, cultural, and design criticism alike.

Résumé:
Can empathy deliver political change? Does art that elicits emotional identification with others take us where we need to go? In ''Imperfect Solidarities'', writer and art historian Aruna D’Souza offers observations pulled from current events as well as contemporary art that suggest that a feeling of understanding or closeness based on emotion is an imperfect ground for solidarity. Empathy—and its correlate, love—is a distraction from the hard work that needs to be done to achieve justice. Rather, D’Souza contends, we need to imagine a form of political solidarity that is not based on empathy, but on the much more difficult obligation of care. When we can respect the unknowability of the other and still care for and with them, without translating ourselves into their terms, perhaps we will fare better at building political bridges.
