In defense of housing

Cote : 363 MAD

Résumé : Peter Marcuse has long been recognised as one of the foremost critical urban scholars of our era. He has been writing about and participating in urban politics since the 1950s and remains on the cutting edge of urban activism today. In this book, co-written with David Madden, he argues that the housing question is not an architectural or moral question but a political and economic one with architectural and moral implications. He calls for a comprehensive transformation in the production, distribution and regulation of housing and details a number of progressive possibilities for today's housing situation, offering an account of how a movement for housing justice can be part of a movement to transform the city itself.

The autonomous city

Cote : 307.76 VAS

Résumé : The Autonomous City' is the first popular history of squatting in Europe and North America. Drawing on extensive archival research, it retraces the struggle for housing in cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Detroit, Hamburg, London, Madrid, Milan, New York, and Vancouver. It looks at the organization of alternative forms of housing-from Copenhagen's Christiana 'Free Town' to the Lower East Side of Manhattan-as well as the official response, including the recent criminalization of squatting, the brutal eviction of squatters and their widespread vilification. As a result, Alexander Vasudevan argues how, through a shared history of political action, community organization and collective living, squatting has became a way to reimagine and reclaim the city. It documents the actions adopted by squatters as an alternative to housing precarity, rampant property speculation and the negative effects of urban redevelopment and regeneration. In so doing, the book challenges the dominant cartography of the 'neo-liberal city' and concludes that we must, more than ever, reanimate and remake the city as a site of radical social transformation.

Feminist city

Cote : 710 KER

Résumé : We live in the city of men. Our public spaces are not designed for female bodies. There is little consideration for woman as mothers, workers or carers. The urban streets often are a place of threats rather than community. Gentrification has made the everyday lives of women even more difficult.What would a metropolis for working women look like? A city of friendships beyond Sex and the City. A transit system that accommodates mothers with strollers on the school run. A public space with enough toilets. A place where women can walk without harassment. In The Feminist City, through history, personal experience and popular culture Leslie Kern exposes what is hidden in plain sight: the social inequalities are built into our cities, homes, and neighbourhoods. And offers an alternative vision of the feminist city.Taking on fear, motherhood, friendship, activism, and the joys and perils of being alone, Kern maps the city from new vantage points, laying out a feminist intersectional approach to urban histories and proposes that the city is perhaps also our best hope for shaping a new urban future. It is time to dismantle what we take for granted about cities and to ask how we can build more just, sustainable, and care-full cities together.

Extrastatecraft : The Power of Infrastructure Space

Cote : 710 EAS

Résumé : From the skyline of Dubai to the idea of 'quality', the impact of broadband cabling in West Africa to the street plan beneath your feet Extrastatecraft is the operating system of the modern world. What can we do about it? Infrastructure is not only the underground pipes and cables controlling our cities. It also determines the hidden rules that structure the spaces all around us - free trade zones, smart cities, suburbs, and shopping malls. Extrastatecraft charts the emergent new powers controlling this space and shows how they extend beyond the reach of government. How can we find our place in their new world order, and what can we do to combat it?

A Walk Through Paris

Cote : 710 HAZ

Résumé : Eric Hazan, author of the acclaimed The Invention of Paris, leads us by the hand in this walk from Ivry to Saint-Denis, roughly following the meridian that divides Paris into east and west, and passing such familiar landmarks as the Luxembourg Gardens, the Pompidou Centre, the Gare du Nord and Montmartre, as well as little-known alleyways and arcades. Filled with historical anecdotes, geographical observations and literary references, Hazan's walk guides us through an unknown Paris. He shows us how, through planning and modernisation, the city's revolutionary past has been erased in order to enforce a reactionary future; but by walking and observation, he shows us how we can regain our knowledge of the radical past of the city of Robespierre, the Commune, Sartre and the May '68 uprising. And by drawing on his own life story, as surgeon, publisher and social critic, Hazan vividly illustrates a radical life lived in the city of revolution.

Food

Cote : 641 CLA

Résumé : We all need food to survive, and forty percent of the world's population relies on agriculture for their livelihood. Yet control over food is concentrated in relatively few hands. Turmoil in the world food economy in recent decades has highlighted a number of vulnerabilities and contradictions inherent in the way we currently organize this vital sector. Extremes of both undernourishment and overnourishment affect a significant proportion of humanity. And attempts to increase production through the spread of an industrial model of agriculture has resulted in serious ecological consequences.The fully revised and expanded third edition of this popular book explores how the rise of industrial agriculture, corporate control, inequitable agricultural trade rules, and the financialization of food have each enabled powerful actors to gain fundamental influence over the practices that dominate the world food economy and result in uneven consequences for both people and planet. A variety of movements have emerged that are making important progress in establishing alternative food systems, but, as Clapp's penetrating analysis ably shows, significant challenges remain.

Atlas of Prejudice

Cote : 912 TSV

Résumé : More than a hundred stereotype maps glazed with exquisite human prejudice collected by Yanko Tsvetkov, author of the viral Mapping Stereotypes project. Peppered with hilarious essays, the atlas is a satirical encyclopedia of humankind's delusional world views, from classical antiquity and the Middle Ages to Donald Trump and the era of Facebook.Satire and cartography rarely come in a single package but in the Atlas of Prejudice they successfully blend in a work of art that is both funny and thought-provoking. A reliable weapon against bigots of all kinds, it serves as an inexhaustible source of much needed argumentation and--occasionally--as a nice slab of paper that can be used to smack them across the face whenever reasoning becomes utterly impossible.

Making Urban Theory

Cote : 307.76 LAW

Résumé : This book facilitates more careful engagement with the production, politics and geography of knowledge as scholars create space for the inclusion of southern cities in urban theory.Making Urban Theory addresses debates of the past fifty years regarding whether and why scholars should conceptualize southern cities as different and argues for the continued importance of unlearning existing theory. With examples from the urban question to environmental justice, urban infrastructure to basic income, this volume highlights the limitations of existing explanations as well as how thinking from the south entails more than collecting data in new places. Throughout the book, instances of juxtapositions, unease, unlearning and learning anew emphasize how theory-making from southern cases can open avenues to more creative possibilities. The book pulls theories apart, examining distinct components to better understand the universality and provinciality of empirical phenomena, causality and norms, including questions of what a city is and ought to be.This book delivers a clearer articulation of ongoing debates and future possibilities for southern urban scholarship, and it will thus be relevant for both scholars and students of Urban Studies, Urban Theory, Urban Geography, Research Methods in Geography, Postcolonial/Southern Cities and Global Cities at graduate and post-graduate levels.

The Death of Asylum

Cote : 325 MOU

Résumé : Investigating the global system of detention centers that imprison asylum seekers and conceal persistent human rights violationsRemote detention centers confine tens of thousands of refugees, asylum seekers, and undocumented immigrants around the world, operating in a legal gray area that hides terrible human rights abuses from the international community. Built to temporarily house eight hundred migrants in transit, the immigrant "reception center" on the Italian island of Lampedusa has held thousands of North African refugees under inhumane conditions for weeks on end. Australia's use of Christmas Island as a detention center for asylum seekers has enabled successive governments to imprison migrants from Asia and Africa, including the Sudanese human rights activist Abdul Aziz Muhamat, held there for five years.In The Death of Asylum, Alison Mountz traces the global chain of remote sites used by states of the Global North to confine migrants fleeing violence and poverty, using cruel measures that, if unchecked, will lead to the death of asylum as an ethical ideal. Through unprecedented access to offshore detention centers and immigrant-processing facilities, Mountz illustrates how authorities in the United States, the European Union, and Australia have created a new and shadowy geopolitical formation allowing them to externalize their borders to distant islands where harsh treatment and deadly force deprive migrants of basic human rights.Mountz details how states use the geographic inaccessibility of places like Christmas Island, almost a thousand miles off the Australian mainland, to isolate asylum seekers far from the scrutiny of humanitarian NGOs, human rights groups, journalists, and their own citizens. By focusing on borderlands and spaces of transit between regions, The Death of Asylum shows how remote detention centers effectively curtail the basic human right to seek asylum, forcing refugees to take more dangerous risks to escape war, famine, and oppression.

Bunker

Cote : 304.2 GAR

Résumé : Today, the bunker has become the extreme expression of our greatest fears: from pandemics to climate change and nuclear war. And once you look, it doesn't take long to start seeing bunkers everywhere.In Bunker, acclaimed urban explorer and cultural geographer Bradley Garrett explores the global and rapidly growing movement of 'prepping' for social and environmental collapse, or 'Doomsday'. From the 'dread merchants' hustling safe spaces in the American mid-West to eco-fortresses in Thailand, from geoscrapers to armoured mobile bunkers, Bunker is a brilliant, original and never less than deeply disturbing story from the frontlines of the way we live now: an illuminating reflection on our age of disquiet and dread that brings it into new, sharp focus.The bunker, Garrett shows, is all around us: in malls, airports, gated communities, the vehicles we drive. Most of all, he shows, it's in our minds.

Thinking with soils

Cote : 304.2 THI

Résumé : This book presents a novel and systematic social theory of soil, and is representative of the rising interest in 'the material' in social sciences. Bringing together new modes of 'critical description' with speculative practices and methods of inquiry, it contributes to the exploration of current transformations in socioecologies, as well as in political and artistic practices, in order to address global ecological change. The chapters in this edited volume challenge scholars to attend more carefully to the ways in which they think about soil, both materially and theoretically. Contributors address a range of topics, including new ways of thinking about the politics of caring for soils; the ecological and symbiotic relations between soils; how the productive capacities and contested governance of soils are deployed as matters of political concern; and indigenous ways of knowing and being with soil.

Ecosystem and Territorial Resilience

Cote : 711 ECO

Résumé : Ecosystem and Territorial Resilience: A Geoprospective Approach provides a full review of the geoprospective approach and how it can be used in planning for and implementing climate resilience measures. The geoprospective approach is a way to predict and assess for environmental risks, and is a comprehensive method for identifying and addressing potential climate change impacts. In addition to the main concepts and methods of this approach, the book presents applications and case studies for different spatio-temporal scales and problems related to the degradation of ecosystem services, as well as applying the geoprospective approach to environmental planning.Ecosystem and Territorial Resilience: A Geoprospective Approach offers an interdisciplinary perspective, tying in concepts and techniques from geography, including spatial analysis methods, modelling, and GIS, to address issues of ecological impacts, urban risk and resilience, land use changes, coastal impacts, and sustainable development. This book is a unique and integral resource for policy makers, environmental managers, scientists, engineers, consultants, and graduate students interested in various aspects of climate change impact.

Autonomy of Migration?

Cote : 325 SCH

Résumé : Examining how migrants appropriate mobility in the context of biometric border controls, this volume mobilises new analytics and empirics in the debates about the politics of migration and provides an analytically effective and politically significant tool for the study of contemporary migration.Drawing from the tension between the EU's attempt to achieve watertight border controls by means of biometric technologies, and migrants' persistence to move to and live in the EU, the volume pursues two interrelated objectives: first, it studies the encounters between migrants and the Visa Information System (VIS), one of the largest biometric databases in the world, from the perspective of mobility in order to investigate how migrants appropriate mobility via Schengen visa within and against this biometric border regime. Second, it addresses criticisms of autonomy of migration in order to develop it as a viable approach for border, migration and critical security studies. Hence, the book is driven by two interrelated research questions: what does the assertion of moments of autonomy of migration refer to in the context of border regimes that use biometrics to turn migrants' bodies into a means of mobility control? And how do migrants appropriate mobility via Schengen visa within and against biometric border regimes?This book will be of great interest to scholars in border, migration and critical security studies, as well as researchers engaged in citizenship studies, surveillance studies, political theory, critical IR theory and international political sociology.

A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None

Cote : 301 YUS

Résumé : No geology is neutral, writes Kathryn Yusoff. Tracing the color line of the Anthropocene, A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None examines how the grammar of geology is foundational to establishing the extractive economies of subjective life and the earth under colonialism and slavery. Yusoff initiates a transdisciplinary conversation between feminist black theory, geography, and the earth sciences, addressing the politics of the Anthropocene within the context of race, materiality, deep time, and the afterlives of geology.Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.

Copenhagenize : The Definitive Guide to Global Bicycle Urbanism

Cote : 711 COL

Résumé : The bicycle enjoyed a starring role in urban history over a century ago, but now it is back, stronger than ever. It is the single most important tool for improving our cities. Designing around it is the most efficient way to make our cities life-sized--to scale cities for humans. It is time to cement the bicycle firmly in the urban narrative in US and global cities. Enter urban designer Mikael Colville-Andersen. He has worked for dozens of global cities on bicycle planning, strategy, infrastructure design, and communication. He is known around the world for his colorful personality and enthusiasm for the role of bike in urban design. In Copenhagenize, he shows cities how to effectively and profitably re-establish the bicycle as a respected, accepted, and feasible form of transportation.Building on his popular blog of the same name, Copenhagenize offers vivid project descriptions, engaging stories, and best practices, alongside beautiful and informative visuals to show how to make the bicycle an easy, preferred part of everyday urban life.Copenhagenize will serve as inspiration for everyone working to get the bicycle back into our cities. It will give planners and designers the ammunition to push back against the Automobile Age and convince the skeptics of the value of the life-sized city. This is not a guide on how to become Copenhagen, but how to learn from the successes and failures (yes, failures) of Copenhagen and other cities around the world that are striving to become more livable.We need to act in order to save our cities--and us--from ourselves. Copenhagenize shows the path forward.

Municipal Dreams

Cote : 363 BOU

Résumé : A narrative history of council housing--from slums to the Grenfell TowerUrgent, timely and compelling, Municipal Dreams brilliantly brings the national story of housing to life.In this landmark reappraisal of council housing, historian John Boughton presents an alternative history of Britain. Rooted in the ambition to end slum living, and the ideals of those who would build a new society, Municipal Dreams looks at how the state's duty to house its people decently became central to our politics. The book makes it clear why that legacy and its promise should be defended.Traversing the nation in this comprehensive social, political and architectural history of council housing, Boughton offers a tour of some of the best and most remarkable of our housing estates--some happily ordinary, some judged notorious. He asks us to understand their complex story and to rethink our prejudices.His accounts include extraordinary planners and architects who wished to elevate working men and women through design; the competing ideologies that have promoted state housing and condemned it; the economic factors that have always constrained our housing ideals; the crisis wrought by Right to Buy; and the evolving controversies around regeneration. Boughton shows how losing the dream of good housing has weakened our community and hurt its most vulnerable--as was seen most catastrophically in the fire at Grenfell Tower.

Dictionnaire des biens communs

Cote : 100 COR

Résumé : Que sont les " communs ", les " biens communs ", les " patrimoines communs ", les " choses communes " ? Ces notions sont fortement mobilisées aujourd'hui dans nombre de disciplines des sciences sociales et actions de citoyens. Leur poussée traduit une évolution des pratiques sociales : sous la pression de la crise écologique et de la transformation numérique notamment, les biens seraient davantage mis en partage.Logiciel libre, encyclopédie et habitat participatif, vélos ou voitures en usage successif, entreprise qui serait le " bien commun " de toutes les parties prenantes : les notions des communs intéressent les domaines de la culture, de la protection de l'environ-nement, de l'urbanisme, de la santé, de l'innovation, du travail, etc. La mobilisation est intense car elles autorisent à penser le changement social sur la base d'un réinvestissement du collectif, des communautés, de l'usage et du partage.Elles permettent de proposer des réinterprétations des valeurs fondatrices des sociétés contemporaines tels le rôle de l'Etat, de la propriété et des formes d'expression de la démocratie. Elles appellent à la fois une réflexion théorique, un débat politique et se concrétisent dans des expériences citoyennes. Ce dictionnaire, à mi-chemin entre le vocabulaire et l'encyclopédie, se veut un outil de compréhension de l'ensemble de ces phénomènes.

Eau, bien commun climat, territoires, démocratie

Cote : 553.7 EAU

Résumé : Ce numéro de la collection Passerelle fait le point sur les grands enjeux de l'eau dans un contexte où nous sommes confronté. e. s à des impératifs apparemment contradictoires : celui de préserver les équilibres fragiles de la planète et contenir le réchauffement global des températures d'une part, et d'autre part celui d'assurer la subsistance et une vie digne de ce nom à toute la population mondiale.Ce Passerelle suit trois fils conducteurs : la redécouverte et la prise en compte des interactions étroites entre eau, terre et climat ; la revendication émergente du droit à l'eau comme manière d'aborder de manière plus large les enjeux liés à cette ressource ; et enfin, englobant les points précédents, la réinvention d'une gestion de l'eau comme bien commun, à la fois local et global.

Quand la place devient publique

Cote : 307.76 ZAS

Résumé : Aujourd'hui, c'est vers les places publiques que nous nous tournons pour "réinventer la société", car nous y voyons le meilleur lieu d'opération pour l'innovation politique et l'expérience démocratique. Mais à quelles places publiques pense-t-on précisément ? Admettons qu'elles jouent un rôle, mais est-ce forcément celui d'assurer les libertés et de "recréer du lien social" ? Et inversement, se rassembler sur la place, est-ce par là même faire acte de "démocratie" ? En réalité, conçues par des lois, des empereurs, des chefs fascistes qui nous les ont léguées, bien des places se révèlent des dispositifs de contrôle brutal et de surveillance minutieuse.Jules César, Louis XIV, Napoléon III, Ismaïl Pacha, Hitler ou Mao Zedong ont voulu des places à leur image. Mais qu'en est-il des démocrates convaincus ? Se sont-ils eux aussi demandé quelles places conviendraient à leurs idéaux et à la promotion des modes de vie démocratiques qui leur tiennent à coeur ? La réponse est non. En adoptant le point de vue de l'usager-architecte que chacun de nous pourrait être, cet essai a pour but de contribuer à répondre à ces questions : quelles places en démocratie ? Comment les concevoir afin qu'elles soient appropriées non aux masses, aux foules ou aux troupes, mais à de véritables publics ?

Face a la puissance

Cote : 333.7 JAR

Résumé : La question de l'énergie et de ses crises sature l'actualité, les médias, comme les agendas politiques. Grand défi du présent, elle modèle nos modes de vie et nos rapports au monde à l'heure du triomphe du numérique, de l'électrification totale et du changement climatique. Longtemps, l'histoire de l'énergie a été ramenée à l'essor de la puissance rendu possible par le progrès technique, à un processus linéaire qui verrait les sociétés humaines maîtriser toujours plus leur environnement pour en extraire des ressources indispensables à leur fonctionnement.Mais ce récit rassurant, qui n'a cessé d'accompagner la modernité, se fissure désormais à l'âge des crises globales et des inégalités béantes. La croyance dans l'abondance énergétique et la quête de puissance infinie qui la porte se heurtent aux limites planétaires, en dépit des utopies abstraites qui continuent de promettre l'énergie abondante et gratuite pour tous. Cet ouvrage novateur retrace ces débats sur deux siècles en proposant une contre-histoire de l'énergie à l'époque contemporaine, depuis l'entrée dans l'ère industrielle et sa dépendance croissante aux combustibles fossiles.Ce faisant, il souhaite contribuer à l'avènement d'un autre système énergétique, plus sobre et durable, plus conforme aussi à la fragilité du monde, chaque jour plus apparente.

Danser au bord du monde

Cote : 800 GUI

Résumé : L'oeuvre de (science)-fiction d'Ursula K. Le Guin est connue internationalement. Elle s'accompagne de quelques essais qui en explicitent le contenu et permettent de mieux en comprendre les enjeux et les implications. Ce volume, qui rassemble 34 essais et conférences publiés entre 1976 et 1988, permettra aux lecteurs de pénétrer dans le monde de Le Guin, peuplé de paroles, femmes et territoires, au miroir duquel se "réfléchit" le nôtre.On y retrouve son audace singulière qui n'hésite pas à mélanger les genres et à traiter tout à la fois de ménopause et de responsabilité sociale dans l'Empire nordaméricain de la fin du XXe siècle. Le Guin, comme Philip K. Dick, fait partie des visionnaires de la littérature, qui méritent de figurer de plein droit au panthéon des grand écrivains du siècle.

(Dé)passer la frontière

Cote : 341 DEP

Résumé : En ce début de 21e siècle, l'heure est à la fermeture des frontières. Si ce durcissement des politiques migratoires peine à produire les résultats escomptés, il participe à la multiplication de situations de violations des droits humains, partout dans le monde. Les frontières, leur gestion et leur actualité traversent les débats publics et médiatiques sur les migrations, attisant les controverses et les fantasmes, en particulier en Europe et en Amérique du Nord.Les frontières cristallisent un grand nombre d'enjeux - sociaux, (géo)politiques, économiques, historiques - et mobilisent une grande diversité d'idées, de projets de société et d'acteur.rices. Etudier, questionner la frontière et tout ce qu'elle véhicule comme symboles est donc indispensable pour penser l'avenir des territoires et de leurs populations dans une perspective de respect de la dignité humaine, autrement que sous le seul angle d'analyse de "la crise migratoire".L'objectif principal de ce numéro de la collection Passerelle est donc de proposer des pistes d'analyse et de réflexion sur les enjeux autour des frontières : dans un monde globalisé, entre territorialisation et dématérialisation, qu'est-ce qu'une frontière aujourd'hui ? Quels sont les intérêts politiques et économiques qui régissent les mouvements d'ouverture pour certaines, et de fermeture pour d'autres ? Cette publication invite également à explorer les multiples formes de résistance à travers la voix de celles et ceux qui défient les politiques de fermeture, mais aussi les idées et propositions qui remettent en cause le régime des frontières actuel.Il s'agit donc bien d'établir des liens entre ce sujet d'une actualité brûlante et des dynamiques de long terme dans les différentes parties du monde, d'en éclairer les différents enjeux et de donner de la visibilité aux luttes actives d'hier et d'aujourd'hui. C'est cette perspective qui est au coeur du débat à travers les articles compilés ici : des réflexions, des témoignages et des pistes d'horizons politiques qui nous permettront de mieux saisir les enjeux des frontières, afin de nous armer de meilleurs outils de solidarité internationale pour la justice sociale et la garantie des droits fondamentaux de toutes et tous.
