Résumé:
Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of today’s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements.

Résumé:
By changing our collective relationship with the planet, global warming has transformed the artist’s gaze. Curator Nicolas Bourriaud invites artists from around the world to question the contemporaneity of the Romantic concept of the sublime in the age of the Anthropocene. Today, the sublime, grounded in the connection between humans and nature, takes a new turn, defined as a feeling of ''delight tinged with horror''. The contrast between the individual and immensity thus becomes the aesthetic notion that determines our age. Bourriaud’s exhibition takes place in three acts: every exhibition is a forest; Charles Darwin and the coral reefs; and the tragic death of Nauru Island.

Résumé:
Initiée il y a dix mille ans à la fin de la dernière glaciation, la domestication des plantes et des animaux permit aux sociétés humaines de développer les civilisations: l'agriculture aménageait la terre, elle l'entretenait pour pouvoir y cultiver les plantes. Les paysages de la terre évoquent cette construction lente, savante et patiente, cette gigantesque entreprise de composition de l'espace où l'intelligence et le soin des générations ont su donner forme au milieu et l'ont transformé pour faire prospérer les vivants. À l'heure où les sociétés industrielles tirent le bilan environnemental de leurs systèmes de production et dans la perspective annoncée du changement climatique, la question du paysage interroge les équilibres ménagés par l'homme entre lui-même et le milieu, entre le Nord et le Sud, entre le présent et l'avenir. De l'économie à l'esthétique et de l'éthique à la politique, quel souci du meilleur inspirera le lendemain de nos sociétés?
