Ecofeminism / Maria Mies

Titre : Ecofeminism Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Maria Mies, Auteur ; Vandana Shiva, Auteur Editeur : Londres [Royaume-Uni] : Bloomsbury Academic Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 328 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-350-37988-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Termes (thésaurus) : Développement Écologie Environnement Femme Géographie humaine Liberté Politique Résumé : In this groundbreaking work, two world-renowned scholars argue that ecological destruction and industrial catastrophes constitute a direct threat to everyday life, the maintenance of which has been made the particular responsibility of women. In both industrialized societies and the developing countries, the new wars the world is experiencing, violent ethnic chauvinisms and the malfunctioning of the economy also pose urgent questions for ecofeminists. Is there a relationship between patriarchal oppression and the destruction of nature in the name of profit and progress? How can women counter the violence inherent in these processes? Should they look to a link between the women's movement and other social movements? Maria Mies and Vandana Shiva offer a thought-provoking analysis of these and many other issues from a unique North-South perspective. They critique prevailing economic theories, conventional concepts of women's emancipation, the myth of 'catching up' development, the philosophical foundations of modern science and technology, and the omission of ethics when discussing so many questions, including advances in reproductive technology and biotechnology. In constructing their own ecofeminist epistemology and methodology, these two internationally respected feminist environmental activists look to the potential of movements advocating consumer liberation and subsistence production, sustainability and regeneration. They argue for an acceptance of limits and reciprocity and a rejection of exploitation, the endless commoditization of needs, and violence.

The development dictionary / Wolfgang Sachs

Titre : The development dictionary : A guide to knowledge as power Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Wolfgang Sachs, Auteur Mention d'édition : Third Edition Editeur : Londres [Royaume-Uni] : Bloomsbury Academic Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 332 p. Présentation : ill. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-350-35984-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Termes (thésaurus) : Croissance économique Développement Dictionnaire Écologie Résumé : The original critical guide to key concepts in development studies from some of the world's most eminent critical development scholars and practitioners. Each essay in this now classic collection examines one key development concept, from the 'environment' to 'needs' and 'progress' to 'production'. Each concept is reviewed from a historical and anthropological point of view, with particular bias and intellectual flaws being highlighted. Overall, the authors argue that we must bid farewell to the whole idea of Eurocentric development in order to liberate people's minds in both North and South and to mobilize for bold responses to the environmental and ethical challenges now confronting humanity. The result is an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners, movements and students of development which invites us to recognize the tinted glasses we put on whenever we participate in the development discourse.
