Depuis son lancement en Angleterre au milieu des années 2000, le mouvement des Villes en Transition fait tache dʹhuile (en France, notamment). Son ambition est de développer la résilience et la viabilité des communautés locales en prévision des énormes défis que poseront inévitablement le pic pétrolier et les changements climatiques. Sa force tient entre autres à son approche inclusive et participative. Dans ce court pamphlet, deux militants anglais sympathisants du mouvement, Paul Chatterton et Alice Cutler, proposent une critique constructive de la Transition. Ils soutiennent que la Transition aurait avantage à identifier clairement ses ennemis politiques et ainsi renouer avec une approche de confrontation qui caractérise dʹordinaireles mouve ments sociaux.

Off-grid isn’t a state of mind. It isn’t about someone being out of touch, about a place that is hard to get to, or about a weekend spent offline. Off-grid is the property of a building (generally a home but sometimes even a whole town) that is disconnected from the electricity and the natural gas grid. To live off-grid, therefore, means having to radically re-invent domestic life as we know it, and this is what this book is about: individuals and families who have chosen to live in that dramatically innovative, but also quite old, way of life.This ethnography explores the day-to-day lives of people in each of Canada’s provinces and territories living off the grid. Vannini and Taggart demonstrate how a variety of people, all with different environmental constraints, live away from contemporary civilization. The authors also raise important questions about our social future and whether off-grid living creates an environmentally and culturally sustainable lifestyle practice. These homes are experimental labs for our collective future, an intimate look into unusual contemporary domestic lives, and a call to the rest of us leading ordinary lives to examine what we take for granted. This book is ideal for courses on the environment and sustainability as well as introduction to sociology and introduction to cultural anthropology courses.
