“Losing Miami”
Against the principled ecological wisdom of economic degrowth in the face of planetary catastrophe, echoed throughout a capacious archive of work on stable-state economies and the imperative to restrict the ceaseless extraction of the biosphere, the sunshine state has doubled down on relentless growth in its primary economic sectors. Investment in agrocapital, for example—most notably sugar and phosphate—moves forward relentlessly, despite the cl…

Cet article met en regard trois textes spéculatifs qui, chacun à sa manière, proposent une critique du capitalisme fossile et permettent d’imaginer un futur désarrimé du pouvoir qu’exercent sur nous les énergies fossiles.

Rogues in the Postcolony
The rogue in the postcolony is a pícaro (in the literary sense), and an instantiation of the internally displaced persons who Mike Davis chronicles in his Planet of Slums (2006). This particular rogue lives in the shadows of a new “lettered city”—an imperialist fantasy made possible by the discovery of petrol, if not silver and gold. His tale deploys such picaresque signatures as hunger and privation to critique and expose the real economic conse…
