In the midst of the current ecological crisis, there is often lofty talk of the need for humanity to ‘overcome its divisions’ and work together to tackle the big challenges of our time. But as this new book by Razmig Keucheyan shows, the real picture is very different. Just take the case of the siting of toxic waste landfills in the United States: if you want to know where waste is most likely to be dumped, ask yourself where Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and other racial minorities live and where the poorest neighbourhoods are. This kind of ‘environmental racism’ is by no means restricted to the United States: it is very much a global phenomenon.Keucheyan show how the capitalist response to the crisis has been marked by a massive expansion in ‘environmental finance’. From ‘carbon markets’ to ‘pollution permits’, ‘climate derivatives’ and ‘catastrophe bonds’, we are seeing a proliferation of nature-related financial products. Instead of tackling the root of the problem, the neoliberal strategy seeks to profit from environmental risks.Moreover, with the rise in natural disasters, resource scarcity, food crises, the destabilization of the poles and oceans and the prospect of tens of millions of ‘climate refugees’, Western powers are increasingly adopting a military response to ecological problems. The Cold War is over: welcome to the ‘green wars’. From New Orleans to the Siachen glacier via the Arctic floes, Keucheyan explores the landmark sites of this new ‘climate geostrategy’.Through a sharp critique of the way capitalism responds to environmental disaster, this innovative book provides a fresh perspective on some of the most critical issues confronting our societies today.

As the crisis of capitalism unfolds, the need for alternatives is felt ever more intensely. The struggle between radical movements and the forces of reaction will be merciless. A crucial battlefield, where the outcome of the crisis will in part be decided, is that of theory. Over the last twenty-five years, radical intellectuals across the world have produced important and innovative ideas. The endeavour to transform the world without falling into the catastrophic traps of the past has been a common element uniting these new approaches. This book-aimed at both the general reader and the specialist-offers the first global cartography of the expanding intellectual field of critical contemporary thought. More than thirty authors and intellectual currents of every continent are presented in a clear and succinct manner. A history of critical thought in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries is also provided, helping situate current thinkers in a broader historical and sociological perspective.

Le constructivisme

Le constructivisme est, malgré les controverses dont il fait l''objet l''un des courants de pensée les plus en vogue dans les sciences sociales contemporaines. Né, au début du vingtième siècle, des réflexions de l''artiste russe Alexander Rodchenko, ce paradigme « puise ses sources conceptuelles et philosophiques dans les oeuvres de Kant, Marx et Nietzsche. Les théories constructivistes excèdent largement aujourd''hui les seuls domaines artistiques, philosophiques et scientifiques. Leur popularité s''est encore renforcée depuis que les réalisateurs du film Matrix ont avoué s''être inspirés de la pensée de Jean Baudrilland pour écrire le scénario. Pourtant, malgré son appropriation par des acteurs sociaux « ordinaires », le constructivisme reste méconnu et n''avait pas encore été étudié dans ses multiples variétés et sa diversité. Telle est précisément la tâche que s''assigne l''auteur de ce livre qui, tout en proposant une définition et une généalogie du constructivisme, cherche, sans pour autant prétendre à l''exhaustivité, à en présenter l''ampleur et la richesse.

This edited volume takes a close look at Nicos Poulantzas’s thought as a means of understanding the dynamics of the capitalist, neoliberal state in the 21st century. Nicos Poulantzas has left us with one of the most sophisticated theories of the state in the second half of the 20th century. Poulantzas’s influential theory draws inspiration from Marx, Lenin, Weber, and Foucault, among other thinkers, conceiving of the relationship between capitalism and the state as particularly original. This book aims to use Poulantzas’s theory of the capitalist state in order to understand important political and economic trends that have taken place since Poulantzas’s death in 1979. By entering into a dialogue with current Marxist and critical research in diverse fields such as political science, philosophy, sociology, history, and geography, this volume purports to evaluate the actuality of Poulantzas’s thought.

Desde la segunda mitad de la década de los noventa asistimos al retorno de la crítica social y política. De las manifestaciones altermundialistas a las campañas contra la Constitución europea, pasando por el avance electoral de la extrema izquierda y las movilizaciones contra el empleo precario, la izquierda de la izquierda ha salido de la "gran pesadilla" de los años ochenta con renovados bríos.La crítica, sin embargo, no se halla sólo en la calle, la batalla de las ideas es, si cabe, más fecunda y enriquecedora que la anterior. Desarrollado por autores como Toni Negri, Slavoj Zizek, Alain Badiou, Judith Butler, Giorgio Agamben, Fredric Jameson, Gayatri Spivak o Axel Honneth, el pensamiento radical ha retornado.¿Cuáles son las teorías que acompañan la aparición de las nuevas luchas sociales? ¿En qué se diferencian de aquellas que caracterizaron tradicionalmente al movimiento obrero? Este libro pretende, desde una perspectiva internacional, cartografiar el nuevo panorama del pensamiento crítico y servir a la vez de brújula para el lector que se introduce en el pensamiento de estos nuevos teóricos de la izquierda.Así, el presente volumen se convierte en una guía esencial para analizar, comprender y profundizar en los trabajos y las teoría de buena parte de los intelectuales más prestigiosos de las ultima dos décadas.
Las necesidades artificiales
Cómo salir del consumismo

El capitalismo crea nuevas necesidades de forma continuada. La necesidad de comprar el último iPhone, por ejemplo, o de volar de una ciudad a otra. Estas necesidades no solo son alienantes para el individuo, sino que son ecológicamente perjudiciales; su proliferación apuntala el consumismo, que a su vez agrava el agotamiento de losrecursos naturales y la contaminación. En la era de Amazon, el consumismo ha alcanzado su etapa más intensa. Este iluminador ensayo nos plantea una pregunta crucial: ¿cómo podemos atajar esta proliferación de necesidades artificiales? ¿Cómo salir del consumismo capitalista? De los efectos de la contaminación lumínica a la obsolescencia programada, pasando por la psiquiatría del consumismo compulsivo, este libro analiza el horizonte de una batalla –política y cultural– que no podemos perder; hace de las necesidades "auténticas", definidas colectivamente en ruptura con las necesidades artificiales, el núcleo de una política de emancipación en el siglo XXI.
