Abstract

Since taking their first steps on this planet, humans have changed the environment around them. Anthropocene: A New Introduction to World Prehistory tells the comprehensive story of human prehistory through the lens of anthropogenic environmental change. Each chapter explains how and why ancient humans transformed the Earth, linking prehistory to today's greatest global challenge. As they explore this record of the world's early people and societies, authors Joy McCorriston and Julie Field reject the traditional account of cultural evolution, instead presenting a thematic organization that highlights our Anthropocene narrative. Chapters are devoted to cities and agriculture, but also to such topics as technology, extinction, food production, writing and extractivism. Chapter 9, 'Individuals and Identity,' considers human identity and agency in more recent eras, and the book ends with a contemporary chapter that takes a hopeful look at the future. Depuis leurs premiers pas sur cette planète, les humains ont changé l'environnement qui les entoure. "Anthropocène : une nouvelle introduction à la préhistoire mondiale" raconte l'histoire complète de la préhistoire humaine à travers le prisme du changement environnemental anthropique. Chaque chapitre explique comment et pourquoi les premiers humains ont transformé la Terre, reliant la préhistoire au plus grand défi mondial d'aujourd'hui. Alors qu'ils explorent le récit des premiers peuples et sociétés du monde, les auteurs Joy McCorriston et Julie Field rejettent le récit traditionnel de l'évolution culturelle, présentant plutôt une organisation thématique qui met en valeur notre récit anthropocène. Les chapitres sont consacrés aux villes et à l'agriculture, mais aussi à des sujets tels que la technologie, l'extinction, la production alimentaire, l'écriture et l'extraction des matières premières. Le chapitre 9, "Individus et identité", examine l'identité et l'action humaines dans des époques plus récentes, et le livre s'achève avec un chapitre contemporain qui jette un regard plein d'espoir sur l'avenir.

Abstract

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas:(i) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics);(ii) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).Papers will be grouped in each issue according to subject area. Research papers should generally be of completed investigations. Preliminary reports will be published where findings are considered to be of sufficient interest to justify rapid publication. In addition, short reports of new sources of known compounds (New Source Reports) will be accepted where they can be justified in terms of systematic or ecological significance.

Abstract

There is widespread consensus that we are living at the end-of democracy, of liberalism, of capitalism, of a healthy planet, of the Holocene, of civilization as we know it. In this book, drawing on radical futurisms and visions of justice-to-come emerging from the traditions of the oppressed-Indigenous, African-American, multispecies, anti-capitalist-as materialized in experimental visual cultural, new media, aesthetic practices, and social movements, T. J. Demos poses speculative questions about what comes after end-of-world narratives. He argues that it's as vital to defeat fatalistic nihilism as it is to defeat the false solutions of green capitalism and algorithmic governance.How might we decolonize the future, and cultivate an emancipated chronopolitics in relation to an undetermined not-yet? If we are to avoid climate emergency's cooptation by technofixes, and the defuturing of multitudes by xenophobic eco-fascism, Demos argues, we must cultivate visions of just futurity and multispecies flourishing.
