Winner, Grand Prize, French Voices Award for Excellence in Publication and Translation The Space Age is over? Not at all! A new planet has appeared: Earth. In the age of the Anthropocene, the Earth is a post-natural planet that can be remade at will, controlled and managed thanks to the prowess of geoengineering. This new imaginary is also accompanied by a new kind of power—geopower—that takes the entire Earth, in its social, biological and geophysical dimensions, as an object of knowledge, intervention, and governmentality. In short, our rising awareness that we have destroyed our planet has simultaneously provided us not with remorse or resolve but with a new fantasy: that the Anthropocene delivers an opportunity to remake our terrestrial environment thanks to the power of technology. Such is the position we find ourselves in, when proposals for reengineering the earth’s ecosystems and geosystems are taken as the only politically feasible answer to ecological catastrophe. Yet far from being merely the fruit of geo-capitalism, this new grand narrative of geopower has also been activated by theorists of the constructivist turn—ecomodernist, postenvironmentalist, accelerationist—who have likewise called into question the great divide between nature and culture. With the collapse of this divide, a cyborg, hybrid, flexible nature has been built, an impoverished nature that does not exist without being performed by technologies that proliferate within the space of human needs and capitalist imperatives. Underneath this performative vision resides a hidden anaturalism denying all otherness to nature and the Earth, no longer by externalizing it as a thing to be dominated, but by radically internalizing it as something to be digested. Constructivist ecology thus finds itself in no position to confront the geoconstructivist project, with its claim that there is no nature and its aim to replace Earth with Earth 2.0. Against both positions, Neyrat stakes out the importance of the unconstructable Earth. Against the fusional myth of technology over nature, but without returning to the division between nature and culture, he proposes an “ecology of separation” that acknowledges the wild, subtractive capacity of nature. Against the capitalist, technocratic delusion of earth as a constructible object, but equally against an organicism marked by unacknowledged traces of racism and sexism, Neyrat shows what it means to appreciate Earth as an unsubstitutable becoming: a traject that cannot be replicated in a laboratory. Underway for billions of years, withdrawing into the most distant past and the most inaccessible future, Earth escapes the hubris of all who would remake and master it. This remarkable book, which will be of interest to those across the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, from theorists to shapers of policy, recasts the earth as a singular trajectory that invites humans to turn political ecology into a geopolitics.

Comment appr?hender les ph?nom?nes reliant faits de nature et faits de soci?t? qui constituent la majeure partie des probl?mes critiques et irr?solus contemporains ? Comment d?passer le grand partage fondateur de la modernit? et surmonter la division du travail scientifique en disciplines ? Au-del? du recours devenu souvent incantatoire ? l’Interdisciplinarit?, l’originalit? de cet ouvrage r?side dans la tentative de r?pondre ? ces questions en m?lant les acquis de la revue Natures Sciences Soci?t?s aux positions des courants interdisciplinaires op?rant ? l’?chelle internationale (political ecology, Resilience Alliance, systems thinking). C’est aussi le m?lange des formes prises pour ces ?changes et cette confrontation tant?t autour de conf?rences tant?t dans des ateliers ouverts ? des auteurs et courants distincts qui se d?couvrent et dialoguent ? la fois pour saisir les parent?s pouvant exister entre eux, et, au contraire, les choix alternatifs, sur lesquels ils reposent.
Ce livre est constitu? de deux grandes parties. La premi?re confronte dans leur pluralit? les enjeux ?pist?mologiques de l’interdisciplinarit? contribuant ainsi ? une histoire r?flexive sur ses concepts et ses m?thodes dans une perspective comparative et internationale. La deuxi?me, plus exp?rimentale, s’attache ? analyser des pratiques interdisciplinaires portant sur des objets et probl?mes divers entre natures et soci?t?s. Y sont privil?gi?s l’?valuation des d?marches et les retours sur exp?riences. Quels rapports ?tablir entre sciences et soci?t?s, entre science et action ? Autant de questions que cet ouvrage propose d’aborder, de mani?re r?flexive et constructive. Il fait suite ? un colloque de Cerisy organis? ? l’automne 2013 et destin? ? f?ter les vingt ans de la revue Natures Sciences Soci?t?s et de l’association NSS-Dialogues, qui en est ? l’origine.

Marzec Название: Militarizing the Environment: Climate Change and the Security State ISBN: 0816697221 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780816697229 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 79000.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: As the seriousness of climate change becomes more and more obvious, military institutions are responding by taking a prominent role in the governing of environmental concerns, engaging in “climate change war games,” and preparing for the effects of climate change-from conflicts due to loss of food, water, and energy to the mass migration of millions of people displaced by rising sea levels. This combat-oriented stance stems from a self-destructive pattern of thought that Robert P. Marzec names “environmentality,” an attitude that has been affecting human–environmental relations since the seventeenth century.Militarizing the Environment traces the rise of this influential mindset in America and other nations that threatens to supplant ideas of sustainability with demands for adaptation. In this extensive historical study of scientific, military, political, and economic formations across five centuries, Marzec reveals how environmentality has been instrumental in the development of today’s security society-informing the creation of the military-industrial complex during World War II and the National Security Act that established the CIA during the Cold War.Now embedded in contemporary Western thought, environmentality has even infiltrated scientific thinking-transforming Darwinian insights into a quasi-theology that makes security the biological basis of existence. Marzec exposes the self-destructive nature of this increasingly accepted worldview and offers alternatives that counter the blind alleys of national and global security.

Proving Grounds brings together a wide range of scholars across disciplines and geographical borders to deepen our understanding of the environmental impact that the U.S. military presence has had at home and abroad. The essays in this collection survey the environmental damage caused by weapons testing and military bases to local residents, animal populations, and landscapes, and they examine the military’s efforts to close and repurpose bases—often as wildlife reserves. Together they present a complex and nuanced view that embraces the ironies, contradictions, and unintended consequences of U.S. militarism around the world. In complicating our understanding of the American military’s worldwide presence, the essayists also reveal the rare cases when the military is actually ahead of the curve on environmental regulation compared to the private sector. The result is the most comprehensive examination to date of the U.S. military’s environmental footprint—for better or worse—across the globe.
