"L'ampleur des changements environnementaux est aujourd’hui bien établie. Face à cette situation inédite dans l’histoire de l’humanité, quels « cadres » et catégories mobiliser pour penser ces bouleversements et guider l’action ? La mise en évidence de l’origine humaine de ces changements et la critique du dualisme Nature/Culture ont conduit à souligner les limites d’approches strictement scientifiques et techniques. C’est pourquoi le présent guide propose un état inédit et original des savoirs des Lettres et Sciences Humaines et Sociales sur la nature. Il rassemble les travaux de spécialistes (civilisation, ethnologie, géographie, histoire, littérature, philosophie, psychologie, sociologie, science politique, urbanisme…) afin de montrer comment l’idée de nature, dans les défis qu’elle adresse aux sociétés contemporaines, reconfigure les cadres de pensée, les disciplines et leurs objets pour produire de nouveaux champs de questionnements et de pratiques qui marquent l’émergence des Humanités environnementales.

"This book provides the first systematic critique of the concept of climate change adaptation within the field of international development. Drawing on a reworked political ecology framework, it argues that climate is not something 'out there' that we adapt to. Instead, it is part of the social and biophysical forces through which our lived environments are actively yet unevenly produced. From this original foundation, the book challenges us to rethink the concepts of climate change, vulnerability, resilience and adaptive capacity in transformed ways. With case studies drawn from Pakistan, India and Mongolia, it demonstrates concretely how climatic change emerges as a dynamic force in the ongoing transformation of contested rural landscapes. In crafting this synthesis, the book recalibrates the frameworks we use to envisage climatic change in the context of contemporary debates over development, livelihoods and poverty. With its unique theoretical contribution and case study material, this book will appeal to researchers and students in environmental studies, sociology, geography, politics and development studies"--

"Set at the intersection of political theory and environmental politics, yet with broad engagement across the environmental social sciences and humanities, 'The Oxford handbook of environmental political theory', defines, illustrates, and challenges the field of environmental political theory (EPT). Featuring contributions from distinguished political scientists working in this field, this volume addresses canonical theorists and contemporary environmental problems with a diversity of theoretical approaches. The initial section focuses on EPT as a field of inquiry, engaging both traditions of political thought and the academy. In the second section, the handbook explores conceptualizations of nature and the environment, as well as the nature of political subjects, communities, and boundaries within our environments. A third section addresses the values that motivate environmental theorists - including justice, responsibility, rights, limits, and flourishing - and the potential conflicts that can emerge within, between, and against these ideals. The final section examines the primary structures that constrain or enable the achievement of environmental ends, as well as theorizations of environmental movements, citizenship, and the potential for on-going environmental action and change."

Contextualizing Disaster offers a comparative analysis of six recent "highly visible" disasters and several slow-burning, "hidden," crises that include typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, chemical spills, and the unfolding consequences of rising seas and climate change. The book argues that, while disasters are increasingly represented by the media as unique, exceptional, newsworthy events, it is a mistake to think of disasters as isolated or discrete occurrences. Rather, building on insights developed by political ecologists, this book makes a compelling argument for understanding disasters as transnational and global phenomena.

"This edited volume explores how a feminist political ecology framework can bring new and exciting insights to the study of livelihoods dependent on vulnerable rivers, watersheds, wetlands and coastal environments. Bringing together political ecologists and feminist scholars from multiple disciplines, the book develops solution-oriented advances to theory, policy and planning to tackle the complexity of these global environmental changes"-- Provided by publisher.

Kniha navazuje na úspěšné tituly Pestří a zelení: kapitoly o dobrovolné skromnosti a Vlažní a váhaví: kapitoly o ekologickém luxusu. Autorka si klade otázku, proč v době pokračující devastace přírody klesá zájem o její ochranu. Jsou vinny sdělovací prostředky, nebo je naše hluchota vůči ekologickým problémům zakotvena v naší mentální výbavě, která se snaží nepříjemné skutečnosti vytěsňovat? Autorku zajímá, proč někteří lidé zůstávají přírodě věrní. Odpověď hledá v rovině sociologické, filozofické, psychologické a teologické. Kniha však čtenáře překvapí i nečekanou otázkou, proč vlastně přírodu chránit, když si poradí sama; není slabá, ale silná a krutá. Žáci profesorky Librové, Vojtěch Pelikán, Lucie Galčanová a Lukáš Kala, se ve svých kapitolách zajímají o děti „pestrých“: zdědily skromný životní způsob rodičů?

While ecology has received little systematic attention within art history, its visibility and significance has grown in relation to the threats of climate change and environmental destruction. By engaging artists? widespread aesthetic and political engagement with environmental conditions and processes around the globe?and looking at cutting-edge theoretical, political, and cultural developments in the Global South and North?Decolonizing Nature offers a significant, original contribution to the intersecting fields of art history, ecology, visual culture, geography, and environmental politics. Art historian T. J. Demos, author of Return to the Postcolony: Specters of Colonialism in Contemporary Art (2013), considers the creative proposals of artists and activists for ways of life that bring together ecological sustainability, climate justice, and radical democracy, at a time when such creative proposals are urgently needed.
