La 4ème de couv. indique : "Imaginez une vie sans technologie, où l'être humain réapprend à vivre en harmonie avec la nature. Ecrivain culte de la décroissance, Mark Boyle est connu pour se lancer des défis. En 2016, fort du succès de son année sans argent, il décide de renoncer à toute forme de technologie. Plus de portable, d'ordinateur, d'électricité ou d'eau courante. Pas de montre, de clés, de réveil. Il faut tout réapprendre. Mark Boyle explique son cheminement avec simplicité et humour. Il défend un mode de vie centré sur l'entraide, le bricolage et la solidarité. Il raconte son existence dans une maison de bois en pleine nature, où l'être humain peut à nouveau se fondre dans le paysage. "L'Année sauvage" est une histoire d'humains et d'animaux, de liens indéfectibles entre les êtres qui partagent un bout de terre, et dont Mark Boyle se fait l'observateur tour à tour enjoué, révolté, jamais désabusé. Ce récit puissant et d'une énergie communicative est une occasion de s'évader dans les bois, mais aussi de penser et construire les fondations d'une vie meilleure"

Fin des sociétés paysannes, cuisines équipées, bétonisation des terres arables, effacement des savoir-faire et cosmogonies autochtones, ignorance des rythmes du monde vivant… Ces phénomènes divers que l’on apprend aujourd’hui à déplorer sont bel et bien liés, nous disent depuis un demi-siècle des théoriciennes écoféministes, critiques de la modernité industrielle. C’est à leurs pensées, méconnues en France, ainsi qu’aux leçons existentielles et politiques qu’il convient d’en tirer, qu’est consacré cet ouvrage. L’auteure explore les alternatives écologiques et anticapitalistes contemporaines pour démontrer que la vie quotidienne est un terrain politique fondateur. Sans politique du quotidien, sans reconstruction collective et radicale de notre subsistance, il n’y aura pas de société égalitaire ni écologique. Contrairement aux idées reçues, ce n’est pas la généralisation du salariat qui a permis d’accéder à la société de consommation et au confort appareillé, mais le colonialisme et le travail domestique féminin. Une autre organisation politique de la vie et des rapports à la nature est possible. À condition d’être redistribué, ancré dans une communauté en prise avec un biotope et des usages, le travail de subsistance ainsi repensé devient un facteur d’émancipation. La fabrique du quotidien apparaît alors pour ce qu’elle est : un enjeu révolutionnaire.

Avant-garde jazz trumpeter Don Cherry and textile artist Moki Cherry (née Karlsson) met in Sweden in the late sixties. They began to live and perform together, dubbing their mix of communal art, social and environmentalist activism, children's education, and pan-ethnic expression Organic Music. Organic Music Societies, Blank Forms' sixth anthology, is a special issue released in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name devoted to the couple's multimedia collaborations. The first English-language publication on either figure, the book highlights models for collectivism and pedagogy deployed in the Cherrys' interpersonal and artistic work through the presentation of archival documents alongside newly translated and commissioned writings by musicians, scholars, and artists alike. Beginning with an overview by Blank Forms Artistic Director Lawrence Kumpf and Don Cherry biographer Magnus Nygren, this volume further explores Don's work of the period through a piece on his Relativity Suite by Ben Young and an essay on the diasporic quality of his music by Fumi Okiji. Ruba Katrib emphasizes the domestic element of Moki's practice in a biographical survey accompanied by full-color reproductions of Moki's vivid tapestries, paintings, and sculptures, which were used as performance environments by Don's ensembles during the Sweden years and beyond. Two selections of Moki's unpublished writings--consisting of autobiography, observations, illustrations, and diary entries, as well as poetry and aphorisms--are framed by tributes from her daughter Neneh Cherry and granddaughter Naima Karlsson. Swedish Cherry collaborator Christer Bothén contributes period travelogues from Morocco, Mali, and New York, providing insight into the cross-cultural communication that would soon come to be called world music.

Social practice theories help to challenge the often hidden paradigms, worldviews, and values at the basis of many unsustainable practices. Discourses and their boundaries define what is seen as possible, as well as the range of issues and their solutions. By exploring the connections between practices and discourses, Minna Kanerva develops a conceptual approach enabling purposive change in unsustainable social practices. Radical transformation towards new meatways is arguably necessary, yet complex psychological, ideological, and power-related mechanisms currently inhibit change.

Calgary, Alberta is a culturally diverse urban metropolis. Sprawling and car-dependent, fast-growing and affluent, it is dominated by the fossil fuel industry. For 30 years, Calgary has struggled to turn sustainability rhetoric into reality.Sustainability Matters is the story of Calgary’s setbacks and successes on the path toward sustainability. Chronicling two decades of public conversations, political debate, urban policy and planning, and scholarly discovery, it is both a fascinating case study and an accessible introduction to the theory and practice of urban sustainability. A clear-eyed view of the struggles of turning knowledge into action, this book illuminates the places where theory and reality converge and presents an approach to municipal development, planning, and governance that takes seriously the urgent need to address climate change and injustice.Addressing a wide variety of topics and themes, including energy, diversity, economic development, and ecological health, Sustainability Matters is both a critique of current practice and a vision for the future that uses the city of Calgary as a microcosm to address issues faced by cities around the world. This is essential reading not only for every Calgarian working for a vibrant and sustainable future, but for all those interested in in the future of cities in a post-carbon world.
