| le champignon de la fin du monde: The Mushroom at the End of the World Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, 2021-06-08 A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction.--Publisher's description. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Le champignon de la fin du monde Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, 2017-08-31 Dans les vestiges des grands pins ponderosas d'Oregon pousse le matsutake, un champignon qui compte parmi les aliments les plus chers au monde. C'est le point de départ de cette enquête qui transforme un paradoxe en outil d'exploration : en suivant la piste de ce champignon rare, Anna Tsing décrypte la dynamique de notre monde au bord de la destruction au moyen d'outils conceptuels neufs. Bien plus qu'une métaphore, le matsutake est une leçon d'optimisme dans un monde désespérant. Ce n'est pas seulement dans les pays ravagés par la guerre qu'il faut apprendre à vivre dans les ruines. Car les ruines se rapprochent et nous enserrent de toute part, des sites industriels aux paysages naturels dévastés. Mais l'erreur serait de croire que l'on se contente d'y survivre. Dans les ruines prolifèrent en effet de nouveaux mondes qu'Anna Tsing a choisi d'explorer en suivant l'odyssée étonnante d'un mystérieux champignon qui ne pousse que dans les forêts détruites. Suivre les matsutakes, c'est s'intéresser aux cueilleurs de l'Oregon, ces travailleurs précaires, vétérans des guerres américaines, immigrés sans papiers, qui vendent chaque soir les champignons ramassés le jour et qui termineront comme des produits de luxe sur les étals des épiceries fines japonaises. Chemin faisant, on comprend pourquoi la précarité n'est pas seulement un terme décrivant la condition des cueilleurs sans emploi stable mais un concept pour penser le monde qui nous est imposé. Suivre les matsutakes, c'est apporter un éclairage nouveau sur la manière dont le capitalisme s'est inventé comme mode d'exploitation et dont il ravage aujourd'hui la planète. Suivre les matsutakes, c'est aussi une nouvelle manière de faire de la biologie : les champignons sont une espèce très particulière qui bouscule les fondements des sciences du vivant. Les matsutakes ne sont donc pas un prétexte ou une métaphore, ils sont le support surprenant d'une leçon d'optimisme dans un monde désespérant. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: In the Realm of the Diamond Queen Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, 1993-11-21 In this highly original and much-anticipated ethnography, Anna Tsing challenges not only anthropologists and feminists but all those who study culture to reconsider some of their dearest assumptions. By choosing to locate her study among Meratus Dayaks, a marginal and marginalized group in the deep rainforest of South Kalimantan, Indonesia, Tsing deliberately sets into motion the familiar and stubborn urban fantasies of self and other. Unusual encounters with her remarkably creative and unconventional Meratus friends and teachers, however, provide the opportunity to rethink notions of tradition, community, culture, power, and gender--and the doing of anthropology. Tsing's masterful weaving of ethnography and theory, as well as her humor and lucidity, allow for an extraordinary reading experience for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the complexities of culture. Engaging Meratus in wider conversations involving Indonesian bureaucrats, family planners, experts in international development, Javanese soldiers, American and French feminists, Asian-Americans, right-to-life advocates, and Western intellectuals, Tsing looks not for consensus and coherence in Meratus culture but rather allows individual Meratus men and women to return our gaze. Bearing the fruit from the lively contemporary conversations between anthropology and cultural studies, In the Realm of the Diamond Queen will prove to be a model for thinking and writing about gender, power, and the politics of identity. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Shifts in Mapping Christine Schranz, 2021-11-05 Depicting the world, territory, and geopolitical realities involves a high degree of interpretation and imagination. It is never neutral. Cartography originated in ancient times to represent the world and to enable circulation, communication, and economic exchange. Today, IT companies are a driving force in this field and change our view of the world; how we communicate, navigate, and consume globally. Questions of privacy, authorship, and economic interests are highly relevant to cartography's practices. So how to deal with such powers and what is the critical role of cartography in it? How might a bottom-up perspective (and actions) in map-making change the conception of a geopolitical space? |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Political Education in the Anthropocene Nathanaël Wallenhorst, Renaud Hétier, Jean-Philippe Pierron, Christoph Wulf, 2023-10-19 This book articulates an educational theory as well as a political theory of the Anthropocene. Divided into three sections it addresses educational anthropology, cultures and institutions, and educational recommendations in the Anthropocene. Topics covered in the volume measure the impact of the idea of the Anthropocene on the type of anthropology that underlies education and on a phenomenology of relationship. It links the notion of the Anthropocene with cultures and institutions so as not to 'smooth out' or erase the latter. Finally, it presents proposals and recommendations for educational practices. The work advocates rethinking education as an essential component in ensuring the sustainability of human life in society - by proposing to go beyond the approach of education for sustainable development or environmental education. The work also brings together empirical contributions in which proposals are elaborated for programs, pedagogical devices and experiments relating to the preparation of the future in the field of education. This volume is of interest to researchers of the Anthropocene. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Minor Universality / Universalité mineure Markus Messling, Jonas Tinius, 2023-08-21 The circulation and entanglements of human beings, data, and goods have not necessarily and by themselves generated a universalising consciousness. The global and the universal, in other words, are not the same. The idea of a world-society remains highly contested. Our times are marked by the fragmentation of a double relativistic character: the inevitable critique of Western universalism on the one hand, and resurgent identitarian and neo-nationalistic claims to identity on the other. Sources of an argumentation for a strong universalism brought forward by Western traditions such as Christianity, Marxism, and Liberalism have largely lost their legitimation. All the while, manifold and situated narratives of a common world that re-address the universal are under way of being produced and gain significance. This volume tracks the development and relevance of such cultural and social practices that posit forms of what we call minor universality. It asks: Where and how do contemporary practices open up concrete settings so as to create experiences, reflections and agencies of a shared humanity? With contributions by Isaac Bazié, Anil Bhatti, Jean-Luc Chappey, Elsie Cohen, Leyla Dakhli, Souleymane Bachir Diagne, Nicole Fischer, Albert Gouaffo, Stefan Helgesson, Fatma Hotait, Christopher M. Hutton, Ananya Jahanara Kabir, Mario Laarmann, Rukmini Bhaya Nair, Olivier Remaud, Gisèle Sapiro, Bénédicte Savoy, Maria-Anna Schiffers, Laurens Schlicht, Sergio Ugalde Quintana, Hélène Thierard, Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Territories, Environments, Politics Andrea Mubi Brighenti, Mattias Kärrholm, 2022-04-19 This collection seeks to illustrate the state of the art in territoriological research, both empirical and theoretical. The volume gathers together a series of original, previously unpublished essays exploring the newly emerging territorial formations in culture, politics and society. While the globalisation debate of the 1990s largely pivoted around a ‘general deterritorialisation’ hypothesis, since the 2000s it has become apparent that, rather than effacing territories, global connections are added to them, and represent a further factor in the increase of territorial complexity. Key questions follow, such as: How can we further the knowledge around territorial complexities and the ways in which different processes of territorialisation co-exist and interact, integrating scientific advances from a plurality of disciplines? Where and what forms does territorial complexity assume, and how do complex territories operate in specific instances? Which technological, political and cultural facets of territories should be tackled to make sense of the life of territories? How and by what different or combined methods can we describe territories, and do justice to their articulations and meanings? How can the territoriological vocabulary relate to contemporary social theory advancements such as ANT, the ontological turn, the mobilities paradigm, sensory urbanism, and atmospheres research? How can territorial phenomena be studied across disciplinary boundaries? Territories, Environments, Politics casts a fresh perspective onto a number of key contemporary socio-spatial phenomena. Refraining from the attempt to ossify territoriology into some disciplinary straightjacket, the collection aims to illustrate the scope of current territoriological research, its domain, its promises, its theoretical advancements, and its methodological reflection in the making. Scholars interested in social research will find in this collection a rich and imaginative theoretical-methodological toolkit. Students in human geography, anthropology and sociology, socio-legal studies, architecture and urban planning will find Territories, Environments, Politics of interest. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Risks and the Anthropocene Julien Rebotier, 2022-02-15 The Anthropocene refers to all societies’ current era of environmental challenges. For the social sciences, the Anthropocene represents a historical “moment” with huge potential: it offers people new ways of considering the human condition, as well as how they interact with the rest of the living world and with the planet on all levels. At the turn of the 21st century, the idea of the Anthropocene burst onto the older, diverse and varied scene of risk studies. This “new geological era”, which is entirely created by humanity, went on to revive our understanding of environmental issues, as well as the analysis of the social and political problems that constitute risk situations. Drawing together contributions from specialists in social sciences concerning risks and the environment, Risks and the Anthropocene explores the advantages that the idea of the Anthropocene can offer in understanding risks and their management, as well as the limitations it presents. |

| le champignon de la fin du monde: Forms of Experienced Environments Nathalie Blanc, Théa Manola, Patrick Degeorges, 2020-02-26 This book explores ‘environmental forms’ in terms of their relationships to the socio-politico-ecological transformations currently in progress. Today, the environment is a central theme in political discourse, scientific work and everyday life. It is multi-dimensional: it is a living space, a socio-ecological system and a field of research and action. However, despite the presence and diversity of existing approaches, the ways in which policies address environmental issues remain mainly focused on control, highlighting the techno-ecological, managerial and curative dimensions of public actions. Although public action tends to instrumentalise the environment, the humanities and social sciences have initiated significant reflections in this field, proposing alternative ways of thinking about the environment in its multiple aspects and scales. As part of ‘another approach’ to the environment that mirrors contemporary developments, this book adopts a form-based approach which has been largely neglected by previous studies dealing with environmental themes. The analyses provided here will open up a new perspective on the relationships between people, aesthetics and environments, and are drawn from different schools of research, highlighting the huge potential of reading the environment through forms or, conversely, a reading of environmental forms. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: The Commons Stéphanie Leyronas, Benjamin Coriat, Kako Nubukpo, 2023-06-21 'The Commons' explores the many forms of development being championed by Africa's residents, users, and citizens. In addition to managing property and shared tangible and intangible resources collectively, communities are experimenting with a concept of 'commoning' founded on values such as community, engagement, reciprocity, and trust. In practice, their approach takes the form of land-based commons, housing cooperatives, hybrid cultural spaces or places for innovation, and collaborative digital platforms. The purpose of this book, where observation of historical and recent practices converges with new theories within commons scholarship, is not to promote commons themselves. Rather, it examines the tensions, drivers of change, and opportunities that surround commons dynamics in Africa. This book highlights the abundance of commons-based entrepreneurial processes in Sub-Saharan Africa and shows that partnerships between African public authorities and communities involved in the commons can be powerful drivers of sustainable development for the continent. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Authoritarian Practices and Humanitarian Negotiations Andrew J Cunningham, 2023-12-07 This book examines authoritarian practices in relation to humanitarian negotiations. Utilising a wide variety of perspectives and examining a range of contexts, the book considers how humanitarians assess and engage with authoritarian practices and negotiate access to populations in danger. Chapters provide insights at the macro, meso, and micro levels through case studies on the international and domestic legal and political framing of humanitarian contexts (Xinjiang, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Russia, and Syria), as well as the actual practice of negotiating with authoritarian regimes (Ethiopia). A theoretical grounding is provided through chapters elaborating on the ethics and trust-building dimensions of humanitarian negotiations, and an overview chapter provides a theoretical framework through which to analyse humanitarian negotiations against the backdrop of different types of authoritarian practices. This book provides a wide-ranging view which broadens the frame of reference when considering how humanitarians view and engage with authoritarian practices. The objective is to both put these contexts into conceptual order and provide a firm theoretical basis for understanding the politics of humanitarian negotiations in such difficult contexts. This book is useful for those studying international politics and humanitarian studies, as well as for practitioners seeking to better systematise their humanitarian negotiations. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: The Sustainability Grand Challenge Michael Gibbert, Liisa Välikangas, Marijane Luistro-Jonsson, 2020-11-26 How do universities tackle wicked sustainability challenges faced by society? The Wicked Learning Workbook is a toolkit for setting up and running an interdisciplinary master-level course in the context of real-world problems such as food waste and loss. The book offers a new pedagogical approach that we call 'wicked' because it is unorthodox, ambitious, and tackles complex problems that won’t go away. The pedagogy is also international at the course level rather than the conventional exchange semester, enabling institutions to embed international approaches to their core teaching. The Wicked Learning Workbook speaks directly to academics who are looking for solutions that provide stimuli for research and teaching while giving students an innovative, international learning experience. The approach develops student understanding of the UN Sustainable Development Goals as broad-scale societal issues which are difficult, if not impossible, to ‘solve’. An important outcome of this approach is the laboratory-style classroom that creates opportunities for faculty, students and companies to co-create solutions that are immediately implementable. The resulting methodology is based on industry–university collaboration (such as IKEA and Nestlé). The methodology is of interest to corporate leaders pursuing sustainability goals and business transformation. Achieving sustainability requires cross-boundary, cross-disciplinary, experimental approaches that allow for scalability. Wicked problems can only be tackled with wicked solution approaches. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Signaux d'alerte Frédéric Keck, 2020-10-07 Les signaux d'alerte se multiplient sur les catastrophes écologiques. La valeur de ces signaux n'est pas régie par le critère de la vraie ou de la fausse alerte, ni par le principe du bon ou du mauvais gouvernement, mais par l'attractivité du signal, c'est-à-dire sa capacité à susciter l'attention et l'intérêt de ceux qui le reçoivent.En s'appuyant sur une étude des sentinelles des pandémies dans les sociétés asiatiques, Frédéric Keck montre que les territoires qui émettent des signaux d'alerte, comme Hong Kong, Taïwan ou Singapour, ont entre eux des relations de compétition et de collaboration analogues à celles des oiseaux qui concourent pour alerter sur la présence d'un prédateur. Dans cette émulation, où les pays échangent des informations pour prendre les mesures les plus rapides, se joue une nouvelle forme de solidarité globale et de justice sociale.Pour prendre la mesure de ce phénomène, l'auteur propose une lecture de quelques penseurs des signaux d'alerte (Claude Lévi-Strauss, Amotz Zahavi, Anna Tsing) ; puis une histoire des grandes crises sanitaires depuis vingt ans ; enfin, une approche de certaines oeuvres d'art (romans, films, expositions), qui nous préparent aux prochaines crises en faisant travailler notre imaginaire. Frédéric Keck a publié plusieurs ouvrages sur l'histoire de l'anthropologie française (Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Émile Durkheim, Henri Bergson, Claude Lévi-Strauss) et deux livres sur les crises sanitaires causées par les maladies animales : Un monde grippé (Flammarion, 2010) et Les Sentinelles des pandémies (Zones sensibles, 2020). Il a reçu la médaille de bronze du CNRS en 2012 et a dirigé le département de la recherche du musée du quai Branly entre 2014 et 2018. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Friction Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, 2011-10-23 What the struggle over the Indonesian rainforests can teach us about the social frictions that shape the world around us Rubbing two sticks together produces heat and light while one stick alone is just a stick. It is the friction that produces movement, action, and effect. Anthropologist Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing challenges the widespread view that globalization invariably signifies a clash of cultures, developing friction as a metaphor for the diverse and conflicting social interactions that make up our contemporary world. Tsing focuses on the rainforests of Indonesia, where in the 1980s and 1990s capitalist interests increasingly reshaped the landscape not so much through corporate design as through awkward chains of legal and illegal entrepreneurs that wrested the land from previous claimants, creating resources for distant markets. In response, environmental movements arose to defend the rainforests and the communities of people who live in them. Not confined to a village, province, or nation, the social drama of the Indonesian rainforests includes local and national environmentalists, international science, North American investors, advocates for Brazilian rubber tappers, United Nations funding agencies, mountaineers, village elders, and urban students—all drawn into unpredictable, messy misunderstandings, but misunderstandings that sometimes work out. Providing an invaluable portfolio of methods for the study of global interconnections, Friction shows how cultural differences are in the grip of worldly encounter and reveals how much is overlooked in contemporary theories of the global. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Les dessins de champignons de Claude Aubriet Xavier Carteret, Aline Hamonou-Mahieu, 2010 In 1730, noted painter and miniaturist Claude Aubriet created ninety-seven color plates that depicted a wide-range of mushrooms. Because of their high quality, the paintings were used by numerous scientists from the period, including Carl Linnaeus. In this book, Xavier Carteret and Aline Hamonou-Mahieu reproduce Aubriet's stunning images, describing the rarity of color illustrations of mushrooms before the end of the eighteenth century. They reveal that these drawings reflected the period's lack of understanding of fungi, when the structure, reproduction, and general existence of mushrooms remained a mystery. A welcome volume for mycologists and for fans of Aubriet, this book underlines the decisive role scientific illustration has played throughout history. |

| le champignon de la fin du monde: Notre nouvelle nature , 2025-05-02T00:00:00+02:00 Ce guide pratique et manifeste théorique, lu dans le monde entier, renouvelle en profondeur les sciences sociales et notre compréhension des dérèglements en cours de notre planète. Il est impossible de saisir ce qu’on appelle l’Anthropocène au seul niveau global. Il nous faut réapprendre à redécouvrir notre Terre, la nouvelle nature où nous vivons désormais, territoire après territoire (ce qu’Anna Tsing appelle des patchs), en suivant aussi bien les dynamiques non humaines que celle des êtres humains. Ce guide de terrain nous apprend à envisager les effets de nos infrastructures, à en étudier toutes les conséquences, souvent inattendues ou passées sous silence par leurs initiateurs, ce qu’Anna Tsing et son équipe appellent les effets « féraux ». De la mutation des moustiques sur les navires transportant les esclaves d’Afrique vers les Antilles, devenus ainsi porteurs de la dengue, à la mer Noire privée de poissons, car envahie par les méduses transportées dans les ballasts des navires et favorisées par les insecticides et le réchauffement climatique, en passant par l’envahissante mérule, ce livre fourmille de mille exemples concrets. L’équipe d’autrices, composée d’ethnographes et d’artistes, est conduite par Anna L. Tsing, anthropologue, professeure à l’université de Californie à Santa Cruz (où elle participe à la fois au département des études féministes et à celui des études environnementales), et à l’université d’Aarhus au Danemark. Elle a écrit plusieurs livres majeurs dont Le Champignon de la fin du monde. Sur la possibilité de vivre dans les ruines du capitalisme (La Découverte, 2017).

| le champignon de la fin du monde: Architecture & énergie Grégoire Bignier, 2021-03-04 Malgré les réglementations successives encadrant la conception énergétique des bâtiments, l’énergie reste le grand impensé du monde de l’architecture. Une théorie globale fait encore défaut : les architectes sauraient y puiser de quoi mieux affronter ce défi du monde actuel. Ayant précédemment étudié l’écologie puis l’économie circulaire, l’une et l’autre dans leur rapport à l’architecture, l’auteur analyse ici des notions encore nouvelles pour les architectes – comme les champs énergétiques, les affordances, l’approche algorithmique ou l’écologie constructive – de façon à les articuler clairement. On verra que l’énergie apparaît peu à peu comme une des grandeurs cardinales de l’architecture du XXIe siècle. Illustré de schémas clairs et accompagné de la présentation détaillée de plusieurs projets de construction aboutis, l’exposé procurera des arguments aux professionnels autant qu’aux étudiants en architecture préoccupés de la transformation écologique et de l’architecture qu’elle engendre. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: The Mushroom Fan Club Elise Gravel, 2020-11-24 Join Elise Gravel as she explores the science of some of nature's weirdest and wildest characters—mushrooms! Elise Gravel is back with a whimsical look at one of her family’s most beloved pastimes: mushroom hunting! Combining her love of getting out into nature with her talent for anthropomorphizing everything, Gravel takes us on a magical tour of the forest floor and examines a handful of her favorite alien specimens up close. While the beautiful coral mushroom looks like it belongs under the sea, the peculiar lactarius indigo may be better suited for outer space! From the fun-to-stomp puffballs to the prince of the stinkers—the stinkhorn mushroom—and the musically inclined chanterelles, Gravel shares her knowledge of this fascinating kingdom by bringing each species to life in full felt-tip marker glory. Governor General award winning author Elise Gravel’s first book with Drawn & Quarterly, If Found...Please Return to Elise Gravel, was a Junior Library Guild selection, and instant hit among librarians, parents, and kids alike. Fostering the same spirit of creativity and curiosity, The Mushroom Fan Club promises to inspire kids to look more closely at the world around them and seek out all of life’s little treasures, stinky or not! |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Anthropologie contemporaine Anne-Christine Trémon, 2024-01-31 Cet ouvrage propose un tour d’horizon des principaux travaux menés en anthropologie au cours des dernières décennies, en montrant comment ses questionnements se sont réajustés ou renouvelés face aux mutations du monde contemporain. Il aborde ces questions telles qu’elles se posent à différentes échelles entre le local et le global, et concernent les rapports des humains entre eux et avec les non-humains, les rapports de genre et de génération, ainsi que les relations entre personne individuelle et collectifs – familles, clans, diasporas, classes, partis. S’appuyant sur des études de cas situées dans des sociétés tant proches que lointaines, il montre en quoi l’anthropologie aborde, dans toute sa complexité, des relations qui ne peuvent jamais se réduire à une seule dimension et n’échappent jamais au contexte spatio-temporel dans lequel elles s’inscrivent. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: L'empreinte des lieux culturels sur les territoires Anne Hertzog, Elizabeth Auclair, 2023-12-20T00:00:00+01:00 Cet ouvrage collectif explore la question des relations entre institutions culturelles et territoires, et interroge les effets multidimensionnels des projets artistiques sur les sociétés et leurs espaces. Dans le prolongement d’un colloque venant clore une recherche-action consacrée à l’évaluation de l’empreinte civique de deux scènes nationales, il propose les contributions de praticiens, d’artistes et de chercheurs issus de disciplines variées (géographie, sociologie, gestion, information-communication, esthétique) qui observent, construisent et cherchent à évaluer les dynamiques sociospatiales associées aux lieux culturels. Il rend ainsi compte de la richesse des réflexions et des débats suscités par la recherche de nouveaux modèles culturels en réponse aux grands enjeux politiques, sociétaux et environnementaux contemporains. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Politiques du désordre Sem Nagas, 2024-07-17 Vivre dans un monde précaire est le quotidien de nombreux terrestres. Nous ne pouvons survivre aux désastres sans changer de paradigme. Pour cela, il nous faut opérer une métamorphose radicale, intime et globale. Le coeur de cette mutation est la transformation de notre rapport au Vivant. Elle interroge de nombreux aspects individuels et collectifs: croyances, corporalité, relation et système économique. Politiques du désordre est un essai d'écologie radicale, écrit à partir d'une position décoloniale féministe, queer et anticapitaliste. Il dénonce la maison du maître et décortique le pouvoir pour libérer les puissances qui lui sont assujetties. Au lieu d'efforts pour intégrer la culture dominante, il propose une avancée vers l'ensauvagement, une vision organique du Vivant et l'alliance entre sauvages pour forger des complicités inter-espèces. Ce livre est un tissage de pensées intimes et de théories de la libération qui a l'ambition de connecter de nombreux sujets révolutionnaires: celleux qui rêvent d'un monde désirable et agissent dans les angles morts de la modernité. La mutation est inévitable et elle passera par une phase de désordre absolu, où tout est possible. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Science-fiction: voyage aux frontières de l'imaginaire Glyn Morgan, 2023-10-18 Sommes-nous seuls dans l’univers ? L’humanité sera-t-elle remplacée par des machines intelligentes ? Saurons-nous livrer un monde vivable à nos descendants ? Inspirée par la science et vice-versa, la science-fiction donne vie à nos angoisses et tente de dessiner les contours d’un futur incertain. S'appuyant sur un large éventail d'exemples - nouvelles, romans, films, programmes télévisés, jeux vidéo, romans graphiques, œuvres d'art- de la culture populaire, ce livre magnifiquement illustré aborde cinq thématiques du genre : les robots, les voyages spatiaux, les aliens, les mondes éloignés et l'avenir de la Terre, menacé par l'arme nucléaire ou la crise climatique. A travers les œuvres marquantes qui ont fait l’histoire de la science-fiction, il nous révèle les liens étroits entre la réalité scientifique et les spéculations de créateurs visionnaires. Le livre que vous tenez entre les mains n’est pas qu’un voyage dans les mondes chatoyants de la science-fiction. C’est aussi une aventure scientifique, une épopée humaine dans l’espace et le temps, et un cheminement intérieur jusqu’aux racines de nos imaginaires, portée par des récits qui, selon l’auteur américain Isaac Asimov « [...] se soucient des réponses de l’être humain aux progrès de la science et de la technologie. » Roland Lehoucq, Astrophysicien, Extrait de la préface |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Daily Bread Gregg Segal, 2019-06-04 As globalization alters our relationship to food, photographer Gregg Segal has embarked on a global project asking kids from around the world to take his Daily Bread challenge. Each child keeps a detailed journal of everything they eat in a week, and then Segal stages an elaborate portrait of them surrounded by the foods they consumed. The colorful and hyper-detailed results tell a unique story of multiculturalism and how we nourish ourselves at the dawn of the 21st century. From Los Angeles to Sao Paulo, Dakar to Hamburg, Dubai to Mumbai we come to understand that regardless of how small and interconnected the world seems to become each year, diverse pockets of traditional cultures still exist on each continent, eating largely the same way they have been for hundreds of years. It is this rich tapestry that Segal captures with care and appreciation, showcasing the page-after-page charm of Daily Bread. Contrasted with the packaged and processed foods consumed primarily in developed nations, questions about health and sustainability are raised and the book serves as a catalyst for consideration of our status quo. There's an old adage, The hand that stirs the pot rules the world. Big Food is stirring the pot for children all over the world. Nonetheless, there are regions and communities where slow food will never be displaced by junk food, where home-cooked meals are the bedrock of family and culture, and where love and pride are expressed in the aromas of stews and curries. |

| le champignon de la fin du monde: Beyond Nature and Culture Philippe Descola, 2013-08-01 “Gives to anthropological reflection a new starting point and will become the compulsory reference for all our debates in the years to come.” —Claude Lévi-Strauss, on the French edition Beyond Nature and Culture has been a major influence in European intellectual life since its French publication in 2005. Here, finally, it is brought to English-language readers. At its heart is a question central to both anthropology and philosophy: what is the relationship between nature and culture? Culture—as a collective human making, of art, language, and so forth—is often seen as essentially different from nature, which is portrayed as a collective of the nonhuman world, of plants, animals, geology, and natural forces. Philippe Descola shows this essential difference to be not only a Western notion, but also a very recent one. Drawing on ethnographic examples from around the world and theoretical understandings from cognitive science, structural analysis, and phenomenology, he formulates a sophisticated new framework, the “four ontologies” —animism, totemism, naturalism, and analogism—to account for all the ways we relate ourselves to nature. By thinking beyond nature and culture as a simple dichotomy, Descola offers a fundamental reformulation by which anthropologists and philosophers can see the world afresh. “A compelling and original account of where the nature-culture binary has come from, where it might go—and what we might imagine in its place.” —Somatosphere “The most important book coming from French anthropology since Claude Lévi-Strauss’s Anthropologie Structurale.” —Bruno Latour, author of An Inquiry into Modes of Existence “Descola’s challenging new worldview should be of special interest to a wide range of scientific and academic disciplines from anthropology to zoology . . . Highly recommended.” —Choice |

| le champignon de la fin du monde: On Scientific Discovery Mirko Drazen Grmek, Robert S. Cohen, Guido Cimino, 2012-12-06 The 1977 lectures of the International School for the History of Science at Erice in Sicily were devoted to that vexing but inexorable problem, the nature of scientific discovery. With all that has been written, by scientists themselves, by historians and philosophers and social theorists, by psycholo gists and psychiatrists, by logicians and novelists, the problem remains elusive. Happily we are able to bring the penetrating lectures from Erice that summer to a wider audience in this volume of theoretical investigations and detailed case studies. The ancient and lovely town of Erice in Northwest Sicily, 750 m above the sea, was famous throughout the Mediterranean for its temple of the goddess of nature, Venus Erycina, said to have been built by Daedalus. As philosophers and historians of the natural sciences, we hope that the stimulating atmo sphere of Erice will to some extent be transmitted by these pages. We are especially grateful to that generous and humane physician and historian of science, Dr. Vincenzo Cappelletti, himself a creative scientist, for his collaboration in bringing this work to completion.

| le champignon de la fin du monde: Sociologie du conflit Sylvaine Bulle, Federico Tarragoni, 2021-10-20 Toute société est traversée par de multiples conflits, et c’est cette conflictualité irréductible, qui permet aux sociétés de changer dans le temps. C'est ce que démontre ce livre en confrontant les travaux classiques de la sociologie du conflit aux analyses les plus récentes. Comment et pourquoi des conflits sociaux naissent dans une société donnée ? Quels effets produisent-ils sur l’organisation sociale et sur les liens sociaux ? Comment les analyser ? Ce panorama prend en en compte la diversification extrême des conflits sociaux contemporains (de classe, de race, de genre, post-coloniaux, urbains, au travail, dans les organisations, etc.) et distingue plus particulièrement trois grandes familles de conflit : les luttes autonomes, les luttes subalternes et les nouvelles luttes démocratiques. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Questions, Hypotheses & Conjectures Design Research Network, 2010 Questions, Hypotheses & Conjectures was created with research students in mind; however, the issues and ideas are relevant to all members of the design community. It contains not only current design research projects but also the debates, dialogical thinking, and intellectual struggles involved in arriving at research questions. There are two contributions from each author: the original abstract or poster with comments and a final paper. The comments highlight the paper's positive directions and ambitious goals, point out critical issues to explore, and also expose oversights common to the early stages of academic research. The papers are arranged to follow the typical steps a researcher takes in the journey of arriving at grounded questions, plausible hypotheses, or informed conjectures. Each group of papers gives a sense of what is generally required or achieved at that step. Taken as a whole, the papers show that arriving at research questions, hypotheses, and conjectures is an achievement and requires a demanding process that is often unfamiliar to and underestimated by beginning researchers. Themes include service and socially oriented design, design thinking and method development, management of multidisciplinary design teams, and design as meaning construction. The special articles raise the fundamental and not-yet-resolved issues of the bases and purposes of design research. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Empire Of The Ants Bernard Werber, 2012-12-31 Ants came to this planet long before man. Since then they have developed one of the most intricate civilizations imaginable – a civilization of great richness and technological brilliance. During the few seconds it takes you to read this sentence, some 700 milli0on ants will be born on earth... Edmond Wells had studied ants for years: he knew of the power which existed in their hidden world. On his death, he leaves his apartment to his nephew Jonathan with one proviso: that he must not descend beyond the cellar door. But when the family’s dog escapes down the cellar steps, Jonathan has little alternative but to follow. Innocently he enters the world of the ant, whose struggle for existence forces him to reassess man’s place in the cycle of nature. It is an experience that will alter his life for ever... Empire of the Ants is an extraordinary achievement. It takes you inside the ants’ universe and reveals it to be a highly organised world, as complex and relentless as human society and even more brutal. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Critique de la pensée dualiste et art contemporain Paliard pierre, 2020-09-21 Faut-il dénoncer un naturalisme occidental moderne conduisant à détruire une nature-objet ? La faute en incombe-t-elle à une intelligence dualiste du monde ? Pensées dualistes et anti-dualistes se répondent pourtant chez les modernes. Cet ouvrage montre comment les artistes témoignent de ce débat, comment ils délaissent une conception hylémorphique dualiste de la création opposant forme et matière, pour une intelligence du geste. La numérisation générale du monde et la considération d'une matière devenant elle-même information les sollicitent aussi en les invitant à faire oeuvre dans une intelligence ouverte et mobile du milieu, affranchie également des séductions de toute pensée dualiste. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Dans l'oeil de la pandémie Jacinthe Mazzocchetti, Pierre-Joseph Laurent, 2021-05-27 Chaque période de crise est porteuse de mutations, de changements. Tenter de les repérer, c’est se donner les moyens de ressentir les lignes de force du monde en devenir. Qu’il s’agisse de la politique par les chiffres, de la montée de la défiance et du conspirationnisme, des effets culturels de la distanciation sociale..., à partir de l’ancrage de l’anthropologie politique, les débats abordés dans l’ouvrage aident à garder la tête hors de l’eau et prémunissent des explications simplistes. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Penser et agir dans l'anthropocène Sous la direction de Florian Pons, Sina Safadi-Katouzian et Chloë Vidal, 2022-05-02 Le projet initial de Gaston Berger était celui de développer une « anthropologie prospective », un examen des situations dans lesquelles « l’homme » allait être placé à l’avenir. En suivant ce projet, toujours en devenir, d’une démarche ayant pour exigence de se trouver au plus près des dynamiques sociales, économiques, écologiques, c’est à certaines de ces opérations transformatrices de la prospective que nous avons souhaité aborder dans ce numéro. En reconnaissant un monde habité, et habitable, composé par de nombreux opérateurs du territoire s’opèrent de nombreux réajustements théoriques et pratiques. Un tel processus est éminemment un travail politique puisqu’il vient redéfinir les catégories d’appréhension du monde et les modalités de prises de décision. Une telle approche considère alors que le travail de la politique consiste à configurer son propre espace en faisant voir le monde de ses sujets et de ses opérations. Dans le contexte de nouveaux défis liés à l’anthropocène, un renouvellement théorique et pratique des démarches de prospective territoriale apparaît nécessaire : renouvellement de son approche du territoire et des méthodes pour entreprendre sa description. À cette condition, la prospective territoriale pourrait bien révéler son potentiel contributif aux débats démocratiques et plus largement aux débats publics de nos sociétés contemporaines. |

| le champignon de la fin du monde: Evolution and Conversion René Girard, 2017-02-23 Evolution and Conversion explores the main tenets of René Girard's thought in a series of dialogues. Here, Girard reflects on the evolution of his thought and offers striking new insights on topics such as violence, religion, desire and literature. His long argument is a historical one in which the origin of culture and religion is reunited in the contemporary world by means of a reinterpretation of Christianity and an understanding of the intrinsically violent nature of human beings. He also offers provocative re-readings of Biblical and literary texts and responds to statements by Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins. Including an introduction by the authors, this is a revealing text by one of the most original thinkers of our time. |

| le champignon de la fin du monde: Écritures anthropologiques Bernard Charlier, Christine Grard, Frédéric Laugrand, Pierre-Joseph Laurent, Saskia Simon, 2020-02-12 En deux décennies, l'anthropologie s'est réformée : les sujets de recherches, les méthodes mobilisées et les manières de rendre compte de l'expérience du terrain se sont diversifiés. Si l'écriture (la célèbre « monographie » de l'ethnologue) résiste à l'usure du temps, il était urgent de montrer comment, par son dynamisme contagieux, la discipline mobilise désormais toutes les ressources à sa disposition, pour relater l'expérience de l'anthropologue sur son terrain. |
| le champignon de la fin du monde: Le champignon de la fin du monde Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, Isabelle Stengers, 2017-08-31 L'enquête de terrain d'Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing commence dans les forêts dévastées de l'Oregon aux Etats-Unis, où les grands pins ponderosas ont été coupés pour alimenter l'insatiable industrie du bois, et se termine dans celles du Yunnan, où la marchandisation fait des ravages dans les campagnes, après être passée par la Laponie et le Japon. Le sujet du livre ? Le matsutake, un champignon très cher au Japon qui ne pousse quasiment plus sur l'archipel nippon et qu'il faut donc importer. Anna Tsing va explorer les mondes que ce champignon éclaire ou même fabrique. Le matsutake n'est donc pas un prétexte ou une métaphore mais une loupe pour observer le monde. Les cueilleurs de l'Oregon sont des réfugiés d'Asie du Sud-Est, des vétérans des guerres américaines ne pouvant plus vivre en ville, des sans-papiers... Ce sont des précaires qui vendent chaque soir les champignons qu'ils ont trouvés. Pour l'auteure, la précarité n'est pas seulement un terme décrivant la condition des cueilleurs sans emploi stable ni aucun des avantages liés au salariat mais, avec celui de ruines , un concept pour penser le monde dans sa globalité. Anna Tsing montre comment le modèle de la plantation de canne à sucre au Brésil, en tout point opposé à une forêt de matsutakes, a été le modèle du capitalisme fordien aujourd'hui en train de disparaître. C'est dans les rapports entre le Japon et les Etats-Unis que le capitalisme s'est totalement réinventé depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'Europe ne jouant manifestement aucun rôle. Mais quelles seront les conséquences à terme de ces changements pour ce continent au-delà du seul problème dit des délocalisations ? Suivre les matsutakes mène aussi à une nouvelle manière d'apprécier la biologie et la science. Les champignons sont une espèce vivante si particulière qu'elle fait trembler les fondements de la biologie contemporaine. Ils révèlent aussi pourquoi la science japonaise et la science américaine ne coïncident pas. |
