In the last 15 years, queer movements in many parts of the world have helped secure the rights of queer people. These moments have been accompanied by the brutal rise of crony capitalism, the violent consequences of the ‘war on terror’, the hyper-juridification of politics, the financialization/ managerialization of social movements and the medicalization of non-heteronormative identities/ practices. How do we critically read the celebratory global proliferation of queer rights in these neoliberal times? This volume responds to the complicated moment in the history of queer struggles by analysing laws, state policies and cultures of activism, to show how new intimacies between queer sexu...
Les années 2000 ont vu déferler les mensonges des industriels du tabac, des énergies fossiles ou des pesticides et leurs études dissimulant la dangerosité de leurs produits. Explorant les nouvelles frontières du lobbying, cette enquête dévoile les stratégies de manipulation qu'emploient désormais ces " marchands de doute " pour s'emparer du marché de l'information scientifique. Leur cible privilégiée n'est plus seulement le ministre ou le haut fonctionnaire. Aux aguets sur les réseaux sociaux, des agences spécialisées visent le blogueur passeur de science, le youtubeur, le micro-influenceur.

La Troisième Guerre mondiale a commencé. C'est une guerre de l'énergie. Elle a éclaté le 26 septembre 2022 avec le sabotage des gazoducs Nord Stream 1 et 2 qui reliaient la Russie et l'Allemagne par la mer Baltique.Les États qui contrôlent les ressources énergétiques disposent d'un puissant levier géopolitique.

Located 25 miles south of Toledo, North Baltimore and its neighboring communities have seen dramatic changes since being settled in the 1830s. Pioneers labored to establish small farms and villages in the midst of what was then the Black Swamp, gradually achieving modest but precarious success. Then, in the 1880s, oil was discovered. The area flourished, attracting speculators, turning farmers into millionaires, and transforming quiet villages into rough-and-tumble boomtowns. It was a colorful period that also brought large homes, imposing commercial buildings, and grand town halls. However, by 1915, the oil field was depleted, and North Baltimore and its neighbors returned to their existence as quiet towns. Since then, many of the beautiful old buildings have disappeared, obscuring evidence of the areas dynamic history. With over 200 pictures, many from private collections, North Baltimore and Its Neighbors helps ensure that this history will not be forgotten.
