"¡PRESENTE! investigates the many answers to a seemingly simple question: What does it mean to be present? Performance studies scholar Diana Taylor answers that question by offering an expansive explication of presence as both ethical command and performative knowledge production. Taking the histories of state violence, colonialism, and imperialism as her starting point, Taylor situates being ¡Presente! as an embodied and performed practice of standing alongside those harmed by historical and ongoing violence. Noting that Present/e is simultaneously single and plural in English and Spanish, and drawing on Jean Luc Nancy's formulation of being singular plural, Taylor asks how presence is imbricated in questions of subject formation and collectivity. She begins with reframing the racialization of Latin Americans as a coming into presence through colonial conquest-a presence not as subjects but as subjugated objects-and asks what was made absent through this racialized process. For Taylor, the epistemicide of Indigenous, Native, and African ways of knowing stands at the center of this process of presence and absence. To counter this ongoing epistemicide, Taylor situates ¡Presente! as a performative and decolonial mode of knowledge production that decenters European Enlightenment traditions and seriously takes up Native, Indigenous, and African ways of knowledge and temporality. Grounded in performance studies, this book links knowledge to action as a doing practice, or what Taylor calls a "peripatetic strategy" that emphasis movement in learning. This book offers an expansive theory of ¡Presente! in various locations and situations: the original colonial conquest of Columbus and the Spanish; the May 1968 student protests; a study in Zapatistan autonomy; the 43 disappeared students of Ayotzinapa; queer histories of Mexico; and the former torture centers of the Pinochet dictatorship. Throughout these varied locations, Taylor weaves a methodology, theory, and practice of ¡Presente!. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of performance studies, Latin American studies, American studies, critical ethnic studies, colonial, decolonial, and postcolonial studies, and queer theory"--

A. Mbembe montre que de nouvelles sociétés africaines sont en train de naître, réalisant leur synthèse sur le mode du réassemblage, de la redistribution des différences entre soi et les autres, et de la circulation des hommes et des cultures. Il décrypte les mutations africaines et les confronte aux évolutions des sociétés postcoloniales européennes.

L’Afrique n’a personne à rattraper. Elle ne doit plus courir sur les sentiers qu’on lui indique, mais marcher prestement sur le chemin qu’elle se sera choisi. Son statut de fille aînée de l’humanité requiert d’elle de s’extraire de la compétition, de cet âge infantile où les nations se toisent pour savoir qui a accumulé le plus de richesses, de cette course effrénée et irresponsable qui met en danger les conditions sociales et naturelles de la vie. Sa seule urgence est d’être à la hauteur de ses potentialités. Il lui faut achever sa décolonisation par une rencontre féconde avec elle-même. Dans trente-cinq ans, sa population représentera le quart de celle du globe. Elle en constituera la force vive. Un poids démographique et une vitalité qui feront pencher les équilibres sociaux, politiques, économiques et culturels de la planète. Et pour être cette force motrice, positive, il lui faut accomplir une profonde révolution culturelle avant d’accoucher de l’inédit dont elle est porteuse. Elle doit participer à bâtir une civilisation plus consciente, plus soucieuse de l’équilibre entre les différents ordres, du bien commun, de la dignité. Ce livre est un acte de foi en cette utopie active : une Afrique qui contribue à porter l’humanité à un autre palier.

Colonial and imperial powers have often portrayed arid lands as "empty" spaces ready to be occupied, exploited, extracted, and polluted. Despite the undeniable presence of human and nonhuman lives and forces in desert territories, the "regime of emptiness" has inhabited, and is still inhabiting, many imaginaries. 'Deserts Are Not Empty' challenges this colonial tendency, questions its roots and ramifications, and remaps the representations, theories, histories, and stories of arid lands--which comprise approximately one-third of the Earth's land surface. The volume brings together poems in original languages, conversations with collectives, and essays by scholars and professionals from the fields of architecture, architectural history and theory, curatorial studies, comparative literature, film studies, landscape architecture, and photography. These different approaches and diverse voices draw on a framework of decoloniality to unsettle and unlearn the desert, opening up possibilities to see, think, imagine it otherwise.

"Une colère rouge recouvre le ciel. Les vagues s'agitent, l'eau monte, les forêts tombent et les corps s'enfoncent dans ce sanguinaire gouffre marin. Les cieux tonnent encore devant ce spectacle : le monde est en pleine tempête. Derrière sa prétention d'universalité, la pensée environnementale s'est construite sur l'occultation des fondations coloniales, patriarcales et esclavagistes de la modernité. Face à la tempête, l'environnementalisme propose une arche de Noé qui cache dans son antre les inégalités sociales, les discriminations de genre, les racismes et les situations (post)coloniales, et abandonne à quai les demandes de justice. Penser l'écologie depuis le monde caribéen confronte cette absence à partir d'une région où impérialismes, esclavagismes et destructions de paysages nouèrent violemment les destins des Européens, Amérindiens et Africains. Le navire négrier rappelle que certains sont enchaînés à la cale et parfois jetés par-dessus bord à la seule idée de la tempête. Tel est l'impensé de la double fracture moderne qui sépare les questions coloniales des destructions environnementales. Or, panser cette fracture demeure la clé d'un "habiter ensemble" qui préserve les écosystèmes tout autant que les dignités. Telle est l'ambition d'une "écologie décoloniale" qui relie les enjeux écologiques à la quête d'un monde au sortir de l'esclavage et de la colonisation. Face à la tempête, ce livre est une invitation à construire un navire-monde où les rencontres des humains et non-humains sur le pont de la justice dessinent l'horizon d'un avenir commun."

Ce livre rassemble des récits de féministes minoritaires du début du vingt-et-unième siècle en Europe. À travers des auto-ethnographies de la sororité, l'ouvrage répond à un objectif : celui de réécrire l'histoire du point de vue des dominées - en mettant l'accent sur l'utilité des images à cette fin. Un terme issu des sciences sociales anglosaxonnes traduit ce geste que l'on reprendra à notre compte ici, en disant que l'ensemble des contributrices sont ici les instigatrices d'une HERstory iconique

During the Renaissance, Europeans colonized time and space, inventing the historical eras Antiquity and the Middle Ages; mapping, appropriating, and exploiting the Americas; and establishing the idea that European modernity was the apogee of human history and the model for the world to emulate. Walter D. Mignolo analyzes the "colonial logic" that has driven five hundred years of Western imperialism, from colonialism through neo-liberalism, and he describes resistance, from the sixteenth century onward, to the projection and violent forcing of modern European ideals onto the non-European world. Mignolo argues that in the early twenty-first century, an irreversible polycentric world order has taken hold. European-American modernity is no longer taken for granted as a global model. The creation of multiple, global futures not dominated by the West is well underway; it was visible in the Zapatista movement's displacement of the separation between theory and practice, and it can be seen in the election and government of Evo Morales in Bolivia. Advocating for the pluralisation of ways of being and knowing, Mignolo contributes to the projects of decolonization unfolding in different forms around the world.
