Book Description
Over the last several decades, scholars and practitioners have progressively acknowledged that we cannot consider cities as the place where nature stops anymore, resulting in urban environments being increasingly appreciated and theorized as hybrids between nature and culture, entities made of socio-ecological processes in constant transformation. Spanning the fields of political ecology, environmental studies, and sociology, this new direction in urban theory emerged in concert with global concern for sustainability and environmental justice. This volume explores the notion that connecting with nature holds the key to a more progressive and liberatory politics.

Book Description
Ce livre marque une innovation majeure dans le champ politique français. Il est le fruit d'une rencontre entre l'équipe du Sarkophage, nouveau journal d'analyse politique dirigé par Paul Aries et co-organisateur des Contre-Grenelle de l'environnement, et la Mairie de Vaulx-en-Velin (ville la plus pauvre du département du Rhône). Pendant presque un an, les meilleurs spécialistes des enjeux urbains, des élus (maires, députés, sénateurs), des militants (Sloow Food, villes lentes, Emmaus, etc) ont pris au sérieux le discours sur les catastrophes environnementales qui menacent (réchauffement, épuisement des ressources). Premier défi : apprendre à parler d'écologie aux populations les plus pauvres (les chômeurs, les Smicards, les " sans " papier, domicile, etc). Deuxième défi : refuser d'en faire une affaire de bobos avec des pseudos solutions technoscientistes qui promettent des maisons écolos à 4000 euros le mètre carré. Troisième défi : inventer une alternative qui ne fasse pas payer la crise environnementale aux plus pauvres comme ils paient déjà les crises financières, économiques, sociales, etc. Contre les fausses solutions du capitalisme vert et du développement durable (comme la taxe carbone), cet ouvrage ouvre une piste politique fondamentale : la nécessité de ralentir la ville afin de la rendre aux milieux populaires. Une société partagée ne peut qu'être une société lente. Mais comment organiser cette lenteur ? Comment la rendre désirable ?

Book Description
Develops a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure. This book represents an effort to rethink cultural theory from the perspective of a concept of cultural materialism, one that radically redefines postmodern formulations of the body.

Book Description
Joly's (1831-78) Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu is the major source of one of the world's most infamous and damaging forgeries, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. That, however, was concocted some two decades after he died, and American political scientist Waggoner points to Joly's own text for evidence that he was not anti-semitic and was an intransigent enemy of the kind of tyranny the forgery served during the 1930s. He translates the text and discusses Joly's intentions in writing it and his contribution to the understanding of modern politics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
