The first sustained study of the vibrant links between domestic craft and British colonialism In the eighteenth century, women’s contributions to empire took fewer official forms than those collected in state archives. Their traces were recorded in material ways, through the ink they applied to paper or the artifacts they created with muslin, silk threads, feathers, and shells. Handiwork, such as sewing, knitting, embroidery, and other crafts, formed a familiar presence in the lives and learning of girls and women across social classes, and it was deeply connected to colonialism. Chloe Wigston Smith follows the material and visual images of the Atlantic world that found their way into the hands of women and girls in Britain and early America—in the objects they made, the books they held, the stories they read—and in doing so adjusted and altered the form and content of print and material culture. A range of artifacts made by women, including makers of color, brought the global into conversation with domestic crafts and consequently placed images of empire and colonialism within arm’s reach. Together, fiction and handicrafts offer new evidence of women’s material contributions to the home’s place within the global eighteenth century, revealing the rich and complex connections between the global and the domestic.

Des squats urbains aux forêts occupées contre de grands projets d’infrastructure, de Bure dans la Meuse à la Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone de Seattle, la perspective d’une désaffiliation du capitalisme et de l’État nourrit les idées et les pratiques de dizaines de milliers d’activistes. Mais les mondes qu’ils et elles dessinent échappent aux représentations habituelles de la vie collective. Comment en effet imaginer une organisation sociale qui ne soit pas basée sur des rapports d’obligation et de coercition ? L’expérience conduite par le mouvement d’occupation de la zad de Notre-Dame-des-Landes, qui réunit plus de 300 personnes pendant 5 ans sur un large territoire, offre une opportunité rare pour penser les conditions d’une forme de coopération tout à la fois égalitaire et libre. À partir d’une enquête de terrain mêlant observations ethnographiques, entretiens et étude de discours, cet ouvrage interroge la concrétisation de l’idéal de l’autonomie après l’échec de la première tentative d’expulsion de la zone en 2012. En conjuguant la méthode sociologique et la théorie anarchiste, l’autrice rend ainsi compte de la complexité des pratiques économiques et politiques mises en place par le mouvement. Au fil des relations nouées par les occupant·es se tisse alors une forme singulière de commun fondée sur la reconnaissance d’un droit inaliénable à déroger au monde commun, à s’affranchir des contraintes collectives pour les confronter à l’horizon d’une émancipation toujours inachevée

"A Cultural History of the Atlantic World, 1250-1820 explores the idea that strong links exist in the histories of Africa, Europe and North and South America. John K. Thornton provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the Atlantic Basin before 1830 by describing political, social and cultural interactions between the continents' inhabitants. He traces the backgrounds of the populations on these three continental landmasses brought into contact by European navigation. Thornton then examines the political and social implications of the encounters, tracing the origins of a variety of Atlantic societies and showing how new ways of eating, drinking, speaking and worshipping developed in the newly created Atlantic World. This book uses close readings of original sources to produce new interpretations of its subject"-- Provided by publisher.

Une analyse de la place et du rôle des colonies dans les systèmes défensifs des puissances impériales. Territoires souvent éloignés de la métropole, lieux stratégiques de la politique économique, elles ont parfois servi de poste avancé dans les actions militaires, devenant de fait des bases ou des relais de mondialisation des conflits. ©Electre 2015
