La permaculture est un mouvement écologiste qui a connu une remarquable croissance transnationale, à partir des années 1980. Il témoigne d’une forme d’activisme environnemental dont les sciences sociales ont du mal à saisir l’originalité. On en comprend d’autant mieux l’intérêt que la transition écologique est aussi un défi politique, celui d’élaborer l'imaginaire sociotechnique d'une société écologique. Cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire du mouvement de la permaculture et de sa diffusion planétaire, ainsi que les principales influences intellectuelles ayant contribué à l’élaboration de sa proposition culturelle et politique. Celle-ci pourrait se définir comme « l’art de réhabiter » ou comment concevoir, de manière écologiquement et socialement durable, la réponse aux besoins fondamentaux des êtres humains. À partir des résultats d’une enquête menée en Italie, l’auteure discute des apports de la permaculture à l’effort collectif pour imaginer des articulations entre les interdépendances écologiques dans un milieu, la lutte contre les inégalités et les aspirations à l’émancipation.

This book presents an original interdisciplinary approach to the study of the so-called 'recovery phase' in disaster management, centered on the notion of repairing. The volume advances thinking on disaster recovery that goes beyond institutional and managerial challenges, descriptions, and analyses. It encourages socially, politically, and ethically engaged questioning of what it means to recover after disaster. At the center of this analysis, contributions examine the diversity of processes of repairing through which recovery can take place, and the varied meanings actors attribute to repair at different times and scales of such processes. It also analyses the multiple arenas (juridical, expert, political) in which actors are engaged in struggles of sense-making over the "what-ness" of a disaster and the paths for recovery. These struggles are interlinked with interest-based and power-based ones which maintain structural conditions of inequality and exploitation, pre-existing social hierarchies and established forms of marginality. The work uses case studies from all over the world, cutting-edge theoretical discussions, and original empirical research to put critical and interpretative approaches in social sciences into dialogue, opening the venue for innovative approaches in the study of environmental disasters. This book will be of much interest to students of disaster management, sociology, anthropology, law and philosophy.
