Abstract

The social and material production of urban nature has recently emerged as an important area in urban studies, human/environmental interactions and social studies. This has been prompted by the recognition that the material conditions that comprise urban environments are not independent from social, political, and economic processes, or from the cultural construction of what constitutes the 'urban' or the 'natural'. Through both theoretical and empirical analysis, this groundbreaking collection offers an integrated and relational approach to untangling the interconnected processes involved in forming urban landscapes.The essays in this book attest that the re-entry of the ecological agenda into urban theory is vital both in terms of understanding contemporary urbanization processes, and of engaging in a meaningful environmental politics. They debate the central themes of whose nature is, or becomes, urbanized, and the uneven power relations through which this socio-metabolic transformation takes place.Including urban case studies, international research and contributions from prominent urban scholars, this volume will enable students, scholars and researchers of geographical, environmental and urban studies to better understand how interrelated, everyday economic, political and cultural processes form and transform urban environments.

Abstract

Si Michel Serres est d'abord un philosophe des sciences, le thème de la nature traverse l'ensemble de son oeuvre. Toutefois, loin de prolonger, à la manière d'un Luc Ferry dans Le Nouvel Ordre écologique, une critique de l'écologie radicale en dénonçant sa tendance à l'anthropomorphisme qui conduit à réclamer pour elle les droits qui s'attachent normalement aux personnes et non aux choses, l'auteur tente de légitimer les exigences nouvelles de l'écologie. Le développement des sciences et des techniques modernes a certes permis à l'humanité de comprendre et d'instrumentaliser la nature pour mieux s'émanciper du joug de la nécessité. Cependant, le souvenir de l'appartenance originelle à l'ordre naturel doit désormais fonder une nouvelle manière de traiter la nature. Le contrat naturel, par lequel l'homme s'engage à respecter le monde qu'il a reçu en partage, ne confère pas à la nature un statut juridique, mais comporte une valeur symbolique forte. La reconnaissance des devoirs de l'humanité envers la nature impose de léguer aux générations futures un monde où l'harmonie est préservée entre l'homme et les choses. Une nouvelle sagesse en somme plus qu'un nouvel ordre moral. --Paul Klein.
