MANIFESTE POUR UNE DÉMOCRATIE DÉVIANTE - AMOURS QUEERS FACE AU FASCISME

Constanza Spina

€19.00

Là où le fascisme estime que seules certaines vies sont dignes d’être vécues, la pensée queer et féministe nous enseigne que toutes les vies comptent. Dans cet essai politique incarné et sensible, Costanza Spina démontre que les démocraties capitalistes n’ont jamais réellement repensé leur filiation avec les régimes autoritaires, et comment les « déviant·es » dans l’ombre de systèmes productivistes et violents ont appris à s’aimer, à prendre soin, à rendre justice autrement. Donnant des pistes à la fois théoriques et pratiques pour faire face au fascisme, Costanza Spina théorise la révolution romantique queer comme une lutte radicale, et met au défi de se réinventer par les imaginaires révolutionnaires de l’amour.

« Ce livre s’adresse à celles et ceux qui ne regardent pas les ruines avec rage et nostalgie, mais comme de sublimes terrains de fantaisies et de récits magiques, où se rencontrent monstres et guerrier·ère·s, dieux et déesses gardien·ne·s de mystères obsédants. »

Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, Leora Kava and 1 more

Poetry €29.00

In this anthology of contemporary eco-literature, the editors have gathered an ensemble of a hundred emerging, mid-career, and established Indigenous writers from Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and the global Pacific diaspora. This book itself is an ecological form with rhizomatic roots and blossoming branches. Within these pages, the reader will encounter a wild garden of genres, including poetry, chant, short fiction, novel excerpts, creative nonfiction, visual texts, and even a dramatic play—all written in multilingual offerings of English, Pacific languages, pidgin, and translation.

Seven main themes emerge: "Creation Stories and Genealogies," "Ocean and Waterscapes," "Land and Islands," "Flowers, Plants, and Trees," "Animals and More-than-Human Species," "Climate Change," and "Environmental Justice." This aesthetic diversity embodies the beautiful bio-diversity of the Pacific itself.

Afternoon Editions N°4: Certain Things

Claudia la Rocco

A day can be a composition not unlike an essay. Full of possibilities, full of limitations, bound by universal structures and marked by idiosyncratic desires. You go on walks. You read. You do your chores. All the while memory and other forms of imagination keep time with you. Books are strange companions; writing is a lonely thing rich with consolations.

Certain Things is a text by Claudia La Rocco, created with and through ideas such as these.

Published September 2022.
