Governing the Environment in the Early Modern World
Throughout the early modern period, scientific debate and governmental action became increasingly preoccupied with the environment, generating discussion across Europe and the wider world as to how to improve land and climate for human benefit. This discourse eventually promoted the reconsideration of long-held beliefs about the role of climate in upholding the social order, driving economies and affecting public health. Governing the Environment in the Early Modern World explores the relationship between cultural perceptions of the environment and practical attempts at environmental regulation and change between 1500 and 1800. Taking a cultural and intellectual approach to early modern envi...
Ordinary Sudan, 1504–2019
This book examines how ordinary people have induced the most important political shifts in the history of the Sudan, including the last 2019 Revolution but also how they have participated to the construction of consensus that regimes needed to survive. The two volumes of the book follow an organization according to discipline: the first is mostly on social history and the second on 'politics from below'.
Agricultures familiales et et territoires dans les Suds
Si la proclamation en 2014 de l’année internationale de l’agriculture familiale a remis à l’ordre du jour le débat sur les modèles de développement et les formes sociales de l’agriculture, les nombreuses publications qui en ont résulté abordent rarement les problématiques de l’agriculture familiale en lien avec la question des territoires.

Confrontant des réalités situées dans différents contextes sociogéographiques (Afrique du Nord et subsaharienne, Proche-Orie...
Il territorio non è un asino. Voci di attori deboli
"I luoghi [...] non sono bestie da soma. I luoghi sono soggetti culturali, 'parlano', dialogano del lungo processo di antropizzazione attraverso il paesaggio, restituiscono identità, memoria, lingua, culture materiali, messaggi simbolici e affettivi. Finché [...] tratteremo i luoghi come bestie da soma [...] resteremo all'oscuro delle loro ricchezze profonde" (Magnaghi). Il territorio è troppo spesso inteso come un asino piuttosto che un "soggetto vivente" da riscoprire. I contributi di questo volume intendono essere un'occasione per riflettere su come "scaricare" il mite animale e considerare se mandare in "pensione" la metafora. Tante esperienze mostrano come le organizzazioni di attori...

The Genocide-Ecocide Nexus
In a world gripped by an ever-worsening ecological crisis there are present and increasing genocidal pressures on many culturally distinct social groups, such as indigenous peoples. This is where the genocide-ecocide nexus presents itself. The destruction of ecosystems, ecocide, can be a method of genocide if, for example, environmental destruction results in conditions of life that fundamentally threaten a social group's cultural and/or physical existence. Given the looming threat of runaway climate change, the attendant rapid extinction of species, destruction of habitats, ecological collapse and the self-evident dependency of the human race on our bio-sphere, ecocide (both "natural" and "...
