The Ecocentrists PDF By:Keith Makoto Woodhouse Published on 2018-06-05 by Columbia University Press Disenchanted with the mainstream environmental movement, a new, more radical kind of environmental activist emerged in the 1980s. Radical environmentalists used direct action, from blockades and tree-sits to industrial sabotage, to save a wild nature that they believed to be in a state of crisis. Questioning the premises of liberal humanism, they subscribed to an ecocentric philosophy that attributed as much value to nature as to people. Although critics dismissed them as marginal, radicals posed a vital question that mainstream groups too often ignored: Is environmentalism a matter of common sense or a fundamental critique of the modern world? In The Ecocentrists, Keith Makoto Woodhouse offers a nuanced history of radical environmental thought and action in the late-twentieth-century United States. Focusing especially on the group Earth First!, Woodhouse explores how radical environment...

Le regard d'Orphée PDF By:ADONIS,Houria Abdelouahed Published on 2009-05-06 by Fayard L’histoire est digne d’une légende. Un petit garçon de Quassabine (Syrie), né près d’Ougarit, où demeurent les traces de la première écriture, devient poète et choisit le nom d’un dieu païen, Adonis. Cet entretien évoque toutes les facettes du poète, ses années d’apprentissage, sa vie au Liban, ses liens avec de grands poètes français comme André du Bouchet, Alain Bosquet, Jacques Prévert ou encore Henri Michaux. Il retrace son parcours littéraire depuis la création de la revue Shi’r (Poésie), qui lui permit d’affirmer son génie et de contribuer à la modernisation de la poésie arabe, jusqu’à l’analyse des éléments pré-socratiques et nietzschéens de sa pensée. Adonis rompt en effet avec le système platonicien, qui désigne le corps comme tombeau de l’âme, et rétablit le corps et la chair. Mais on le sait aussi rebelle, poète de la révolte, et c’est en homme libre qu’il aborde également des thèmes co...

Traces on the Rhodian Shore PDF By:Clarence J. Glacken Published on 1976-08-24 by Univ of California Press In the history of Western thought, men have persistently asked three questions concerning the habitable earth and their relationships to it. Is the earth, which is obviously a fit environment for man and other organic life, a purposefully made creation? Have its climates, its relief, the configuration of its continents influenced the moral and social nature of individuals, and have they had an influence in molding the character and nature of human culture? In his long tenure of the earth, in what manner has man changed it from its hypothetical pristine condition? From the time of the Greeks to our own, answers to these questions have been and are being given so frequently and so continually that we may restate them in the form of general ideas: the idea of a designed earth; the idea of environmental influence; and the idea of man as a geographic agent. These ideas have come from t...

Inherit the Holy Mountain PDF By:Mark Stoll Published on 2015 by Oxford University Press, USA In Inherit the Holy Mountain, historian Mark Stoll introduces us to the religious roots of the American environmental movement. Religion, he shows, provided environmentalists both with deeply-embedded moral and cultural ways of viewing the world and with content, direction, and tone for the causes they espoused. Stoll discovers that specific denominational origins corresponded with characteristic sets of ideas about nature and the environment as well as distinctive aesthetic reactions to nature, as can be seen in key works of art analyzed throughout the book. Stoll also provides insight into the possible future of environmentalism in the United States, concluding with an examination of the current religious scene and what it portends for the future. By debunking the supposed divide between religion and American environmentalism, Inherit the Holy Mountain opens up a fundamentally new narrative ...

A Climate of Crisis PDF By:Patrick Allitt Published on 2014-03-20 by Penguin A provocative history of the environmental movement in America, showing how this rise to political and social prominence produced a culture of alarmism that has often distorted the facts Few issues today excite more passion or alarm than the specter of climate change. In A Climate of Crisis, historian Patrick Allitt shows that our present climate of crisis is far from exceptional. Indeed, the environmental debates of the last half century are defined by exaggeration and fearmongering from all sides, often at the expense of the facts. In a real sense, Allitt shows us, collective anxiety about widespread environmental danger began with the atomic bomb. As postwar suburbanization transformed the American landscape, more research and better tools for measurement began to reveal the consequences of economic success. A climate of anxiety became a climate of alarm, often at odds with reality. The sixties generation t...

Birth and Death in Nineteenth-century French Culture PDF By:Society of Dix-Neuviémistes. Annual Conference Published on 2007-01 by Rodopi This volume draws contributors from around the globe who represent the full range of approaches to scholarship in nineteenth-century French studies: historical, literary, cultural, art historical, philosophical, and comparative. The theme of the volume – Birth and Death – is one with particular resonance for nineteenth-century French studies, since the nineteenth century is commonly perceived as an age of new life and renovation. It is the epoch that witnessed an efflorescence of industrial and artistic progress, the birth of the individual and the birth of the novel, and the creation of an urban population in the major demographic shift from the rural provinces to Paris. At the same time, however, it is the century of Decadence and degeneration theory, marked by a prominent morbid aesthetic in the artistic sphere and a fascination with criminality, ...

Transforming Environmentalism PDF By:Eileen McGurty Published on 2009-09 by Rutgers University Press Transforming Environmentalism explores a moment central to the emergence of the environmental justice movement. In 1978, residents of predominantly African American Warren County, North Carolina, were that the state planned to build a land fill to hold forty thousand cubic yards of soil contaminated with PCBs from illegal dumping. They responded with a four-year resistance, ending in a month of protests with over 500 arrests from civil disobedience and disruptive actions.
