Download or read book Re enchanting the World written by Silvia Federici and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silvia Federici is one of the most important contemporary theorists of capitalism and feminist movements. In this collection of her work spanning over twenty years, she provides a detailed history and critique of the politics of the commons from a feminist perspective. In her clear and combative voice, Federici provides readers with an analysis of some of the key issues and debates in contemporary thinking on this subject. Drawing on rich historical research, she maps the connections between the previous forms of enclosure that occurred with the birth of capitalism and the destruction of the commons and the “new enclosures” at the heart of the present phase of global capitalist accumulation. Considering the commons from a feminist perspective, this collection centers on women and reproductive work as crucial to both our economic survival and the construction of a world free from the hierarchies and divisions capital has planted in the body of the world proletariat. Federici is clear that the commons should not be understood as happy islands in a sea of exploitative relations but rather autonomous spaces from which to challenge the existing capitalist organization of life and labor.

Download or read book Adapting Institutions written by Emily Boyd and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global environmental change is occurring at a rate faster than humans have ever experienced. Climate change and the loss of ecosystem services are the two main global environmental crises facing us today. As a result, there is a need for better understanding of the specific and general resilience of networked ecosystems, cities, organisations and institutions to cope with change. In this book, an international team of experts provide cutting-edge insights into building the resilience and adaptive governance of complex social-ecological systems. Through a set of case studies, it focuses on the social science dimension of ecosystem management in the context of global change, in a move to bridge existing gaps between resilience, sustainability and social science. Using empirical examples ranging from local to global levels, views from a variety of disciplines are integrated to provide an essential resource for scholars, policy-makers and students, seeking innovative approaches to governance.

Download or read book Demain ma ville Revitaliser une ville centre written by Jacques Breillat and published by Éditions EMS. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un programme unique pour : « Piloter la gouvernance, Sur un projet politique de territoire, Capable de s’adapter aux contraintes Tout en répondant aux enjeux et opportunités ». Après une période marquée par le lourd déclin des centres-bourgs, les décideurs sont soumis à l’obligation de réinterroger les politiques publiques locales de revitalisation urbaine. Élus et directeurs, ils transforment leur ville pour accueillir de nouveaux habitants dans les meilleures conditions et répondre à leurs besoins et désirs. Ils repensent économie de proximité, richesse patrimoniale et confort de vie. Ils croient en la centralité comme lieu privilégié de rencontres et d’échanges. Ils travaillent à la convergence de l’intérêt général et des initiatives privées. Que faire quand le prix de l’immobilier s’emballe et ne correspond plus au niveau de pouvoir d’achat des actifs, si ce n’est trouver des lieux où vivre de façon plus aisée ? Comment profiter d’un accès généralisé au haut débit, voire à la fibre et bénéficier de mobilités pensées au pluriel sur des parcours adaptés et valorisés ? N’est-ce pas la meilleure des raisons pour enfin oser bouger ? La reconstruction urbaine doit se penser dans sa globalité en corrélant les réalisations de façon concomitante sur un temps relativement court. C’est l’aventure du projet de renouvellement urbain qu’un Maire et sa Directrice vous racontent ici, sous l’angle complémentaire du politique et de l’opérationnel. Débuté il y a maintenant 7 ans, ce projet a déjà reçu des mains du Président de l’Assemblée nationale le trophée de la concertation et de la participation en décembre 2019. Il est aujourd’hui reconnu précurseur par les services de la région Nouvelle-Aquitaine pour sa méthode et le processus engagé.
