Résumé:
From the Sivens forest in France to the Hambach forest in Germany, from the Broadback forest in Canada to the rainforests of Borneo, something has shifted in these wild spaces over the last decade or two. People have begun to inhabit the forests, oppose the loggers and use their bodies as shields, motivated by the determination to resist the lethal ecosystem of commercial exploitation. Forests have become a battleground in the struggle between groups with fundamentally divergent aims and objectives. Forests are made up of insurgents. Jean-Baptiste Vidalou went to see some of these forests and meet those who are defending them: he discovered a completely different way of understanding the world, sharply opposed to the mentality of planners who see forests as just one more territory to be managed. Here he recounts this encounter, relays what these forest peoples and struggles convey, not to offer any recipes or ready-made solutions to the crises of our times but to be the forest, like a force that grows, stem by stem, leaf by leaf, slowly becoming ungovernable.

Résumé:
''Framing borders'' addresses a fundamental disjuncture between scholastic portrayals of settler colonialism and what actually takes place in Akwesasne Territory, the largest Indigenous cross-border community in Canada. Whereas most existing portrayals of Indigenous nationalism emphasize border crossing as a site of conflict between officers and Indigenous nationalists, in this book Ian Kalman observes a much more diverse range of interactions, from conflict to banality to joking and camaraderie. ''Framing Borders'' explores how border crossing represents a conversation where different actors "frame" themselves, the law, and the space that they occupy in diverse ways. Written in accessible, lively prose, Kalman addresses what goes on when border officers and Akwesasne residents meet, and what these exchanges tell us about the relationship between Indigenous actors and public servants in Canada. This book provides an ethnographic examination of the experiences of the border by Mohawk community members, the history of local border enforcement, and the paradoxes, self-contradictions, and confusions that underlie the border and its enforcement.

Résumé:
For the French-Brazilian architect, theorist, and painter Sérgio Ferro, looking at architecture from below means putting the building site and building workers at the centre of architectural enquiry. Instead of new trends or big names, Ferro strives for an approach ‘that enables one to see both head and feet at the same time – the magnanimous ideal and the muck down below’. The process of building rarely features in architectural history and theory. Ferro argues that this persistent dismissal and neglect of building labour is no mere oversight, but instead a structural necessity of capitalist development which serves to deny labour as the source of value, to make capital’s command appear mandatory, and to maintain the profession’s capacity to act ‘on’ and ‘over’ the building site. Written between 1967 and 2019, these ten essays introduce Sérgio Ferro’s vital thinking by confronting architecture with critical theories ranging from Marx to contemporary authors. They draw on concrete cases in different historical and geographical contexts – from Strasbourg to Brasilia, via Dubai – to disclose how capitalist relations of production have transformed architecture and its relations to artistic practices such as painting and sculpture.

Résumé:
How can urban housing, and the land underneath, now account for half of all global wealth? According to Patrick Condon in ''Broken City'', the simple answer is that land has become an asset rather than a utility. If the rich only indulged themselves with gold, jewels, and art, we wouldn’t have a global housing crisis. But once global capital markets realized land was a(...)

Résumé:
How can urban housing, and the land underneath, now account for half of all global wealth? According to Patrick Condon in ''Broken City'', the simple answer is that land has become an asset rather than a utility. If the rich only indulged themselves with gold, jewels, and art, we wouldn’t have a global housing crisis. But once global capital markets realized land was a good speculative investment, runaway housing costs ensued. For example, in Vancouver, land prices increased by six hundred percent between 2008 and 2016. How much wealth have investors extracted from urban land? In this engaging, readable, and insightful treatise, Patrick Condon explains how we have let land, our most durable resource, shift away from the common good and proposes bold strategies for how cities in North America can shift it back.

Résumé:
La valorisation des bâtiments existants est une des avenues les plus prometteuses pour le développement durable et la lutte aux changements climatiques. Agir de manière décisive pour améliorer le bilan environnemental exige donc d'oeuvrer en priorité à la mise à niveau des bâtiments existants, avant de combler les besoins additionnels par la construction de bâtiments neufs performants. Qu'il s'agisse de requalifications, de changements d'usages, de rénovations intégrales ou de réfections plus modestes, ces approches constituent autant d'occasions d'optimiser un investissement initial pour en tirer un maximum de valeur. Prolonger la vie utile d'un bâtiment peut en soi constituer un geste environnemental fort. Cet ouvrage explore les retombées écologiques, sociales et économiques de la construction au Québec et met en évidence les avantages de valoriser les bâtiments anciens comme stratégie de développement durable.

Résumé:
On the eve of the Women’s Day manifestations of 2021, the Mexican government erected metal barricades surrounding the National Palace—the seat of federal executive power—in the heart of Mexico City. This was meant to prevent damage by demonstrators and, therefore, "protect the heritage of all Mexicans and avoid confrontation...a wall of peace that guarantees liberty and protection from provocations," in the words of the President's spokesman. On Saturday, March 6, the feminist collective Antimonumenta CDMX decided to paint the barricades with the names of recent victims of femicide in Mexico. Over the next few hours, hundreds of women spontaneously gathered to honor the absent women, writing their names and leaving flowers: an offering to remember them, to not forget, and, by doing so, to honor them.This series of photographs documents the barricades that were intervened in those days so that they may still be read.
