Abstract

Giving and Taking, Antidotes to a Culture of Greed' is a collected effort to establish the significance of the so-called non-pecuniary value of art and society. In the broadest sense of these terms: what is art about and after? What if the exchanges we call economic were part of a much larger, far older and more diffuse system of exchange? What if value were defined not by accumulation but by circulation, and circulation not by supply and demand but by honor, glory and beauty? If we need an answer to what's the real value in society and in art ; and we need that answer urgently ; why not ask philosophers, anthropologists, aestheticians, sociologists and others who have proven to be part of the same quest? The problems facing us in the 21st century, moving towards a "peak humanity" of 12 billion human beings in 2072, are mind boggling and nerve wracking. Global warming is only the fun part of the ecological devastation that will leave us with a world of dead Zen gardens everywhere. What are we doing, and why aren't we doing it better? In the book 'Giving and Taking, Antidotes to a Culture of Greed', a diverse set of authors share a strikingly similar analysis. The crisis of our institutions of government, finance and knowledge, they argue, should be attributed not to a lack of political will but to a lack of glory and honor ; categories that have been linked to gift and sacrifice from time immemorial.

Abstract

Each persons grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. David Kessler (2019) The pandemic has once again made us more aware of the fragility of life and the importance of being able to properly mourn the dead. Dramaturg Guy Cools has been researching laments and other rituals of mourning. He is particularly interested in how the emotions of loss need to be externalized. The laments are a formal device, used in many cultures to express and contain the emotions of grief. In a poetic, meandering, personal way Cools explores cultural habits, traditions, rituals, and artists performances. His narrative looks into many forms of laments: literary, anthropological, philosophical, and in contemporary art practices. The latter part delves into artistic strategies to address or embody mourning: dialogical strategies that deal with personal losses; collective mourning rituals and how they invite communities to witness these losses; contemporary examples of laments that are not only used to dialogue with the dead but also to communicate with loved ones who are absent because of migration or exile; a very specific form of mourning that occurs when we grieve for the unrealized potential of a child's unlived life, including that of an unborn child. And finally, the very recent phenomenon of lamenting not just the losses of the past, but also the loss of a future

Abstract

Quand la réalité se détraque, il est temps de se pencher sur un genre qui a pour credo la remise en question de nos certitudes. La science-fiction nous parle du présent, ouvre nos consciences sur les évolutions en cours et participe à la construction de notre futur. Rien n'est immuable et il nous revient de faire jouer notre imagination pour changer l'Histoire. Les Portes du possible envisage la science-fiction moins comme un genre que comme une méthode de pensée critique, un espace de liberté qui réimagine nos vies, et que littérature et art s'approprient au même titre. Il convoque ainsi 200 œuvres des années 1960 à nos jours, dont une centaine commentée, et les textes inédits d'auteurs de science-fiction reconnus - Sabrina Calvo, Nadia Chonville, Philippe Curval, Alain Damasio, Catherine Dufour, Ariel Kyrou, Laura Nsafou, Kim Stanley Robinson, Michael Roch. Cet ouvrage troque la toile de fond de l'espace et du futur lointain pour des horizons plus proches, abordant des préoccupations contemporaines : les rapports de domination, la méfiance envers les technologies, la vampirisation des ressources naturelles et les effondrements environnementaux, la lutte pour le dépassement du colonialisme et du patriarcat

Abstract

Over the past decade, the European Union has fallen into a drawn-out crisis, politically as well as economically. In this book, the authors argue that analyses of this crisis miss an important element: culture. Faith in politics, like faith in a European currency, is first and foremost a cultural issue. Democracy is a matter of political culture, just as good economic relations are a matter of economic culture. So, culture as a shared frame of reference and as something that lends meaning to people's lives is not the superstructure but the very foundation or substructure of any society. Its essays analyze and describe both theoretical models and straightforward, concrete and provocative examples that clarify this central thesis: culture is an essential, binding fabric of investigating and assessing our identity, our human activities and how we can critically reflect on these. What would happen if culture succeeded in giving the European project a completely different meaning or sense?
