Summary:
Reconnus comme des figures majeures de l'écomarxisme, John Bellamy Foster et Brett Clark explorent les œuvres de Marx et Engels afin d'élaborer une écologie politique matérialiste et dialectique. Cette approche originale alliant l’histoire, l'économie, la science et la politique déploie la question environnementale dans toute sa variété allant de l’agriculture à la maltraitance animale, en passant par l’alimentation et l'éco-impérialiùsme. Leur critique vise non seulement le néolibéralisme mais aussi l'écologie réformiste qui s’accommode également de l’ordre capitaliste bourgeois. Dévoilant le lien entre dégradation écologique et domination sociale ils posent les bases d’une lutte révolutionnaire où l'émancipation implique la fin d’une double exploitation: celle des êtres humains et de la nature.

When the gatefold is closed, the concept of the previous spread meets the concept of the next, bringing a level of wit into play.

Summary:
Nobuyoshi Araki constructs a darkly phantasmagorical realm of flowers, plastic dolls, toy animal figurines, and more in this series of 75 black-and-white photographs. Brimming with his recognisable motifs and erotic symbolism, the carefully arranged still-lifes are interspersed with portraits of people like Umezu Kazuo, Setouchi Jakucho, Lady Gaga, and Araki’s muse, Kaori. With bizarre tableaus that mix anthropomorphic imagery with themes like sex, aging, death, and primal appetites, Araki plunges us into the midst of a tangible dementia.

Summary:
This book is an optimistic manifesto that rescripts the anthropocentric narratives of Western architecture with new myths for a playfully compassionate and co-habitable future. The volume reconceptualises buildings as our friends by amplifying architecture's creaturely qualities-formal embellishments, fictional enhancements, and organisational strategies that suggest animal-like agency. In an unsettled world, these qualities initiate more companionable relationships between humans and the built environment, and ultimately foster greater solidarity with other human and nonhuman lifeforms.

Summary:
Le 6 février 1740, fut inaugurée à Saint-Pétersbourg la Maison de Glace d'un architecte décapité quatre mois plus tard pour célébrer le mariage d'une effrayante Kalmouke avec Mickaïl Alexeïevitch Golitzyne, le prince-boufon de l'impératrice Anna Ivanovna Golitzyne (1693-1740). Férue de monstres de foire, d'horoscopes et d'animaux exotiques, elle-même collectionneuse de nains, la tsarine supervisa l'érection du palais, le cortège nuptial et son défilé ethnographique. Rédigé après l'un des hivers les plus froids jamais enregistré et fort d'une fascination pour la nature physique du matériau et l'expérimentation scientifique, le traité savant de George Wolfgang Kraft (1701-1754) relate ce chantier pour le moins inhabituel. Assurément une curiosité... Postface d'Alexis Hadjiski, historien
