A New Inventory and Conservation Assessment of United States Islands
To support conservation-focused research and management we developed a new 30-m resolution polygon data layer of the nonlacustrine and nonriverine islands of the United States, with associated attributes describing key physical and conservation geography characteristics. Islands were grouped into a three-tiered hierarchy of island regions (twelve), island provinces (twenty-eight), and individual islands (19,023). Islands were classified as either…
Named Landforms of the World: A Geomorphological and Physiographic Compilation
Prior to the current era of digital geomorphological mapping, global and regional-scale land surface characterization was advanced by qualitative interpretations that relied on human visualization aided by disciplinary knowledge of geophysical processes combined with extensive field study. In the early twentieth century, Fenneman proposed to devise systematic physiographic divisions of the United States and in 1916 produced what is still regarded…
Romantic Anti-capitalism and Nature: The Enchanted Garden
Lucien Goldmann et la vision romantique du monde
Disons d’emblée, pour situer les analyses qui vont suivre, que nous, les auteurs du présent essai, nous sommes inspirés – individuellement et ensemble, tout au long de nos carrières de chercheurs – de l’œuvre de Lucien Goldmann. Quand nous nous sommes rencontrés à la fin des années 1970, nous étions déjà des « goldmanniens » de longue date, ayant tous deux étudié avec lui : Robert Sayre en tant que « graduate student » américain pendant une année…
A multidisciplinary framework to derive global river reach classifications at high spatial resolution
Projected climate and environmental change are expected to increase the pressure on global freshwater resources. To prepare for and cope with the related risks, stakeholders need to devise plans for sustainable management of river systems, which in turn requires the identification of management-appropriate operational units, such as groups of rivers that share similar environmental and biological characteristics. Ideally, these units are of a man…
Monitoring Mountains in a Changing World: New Horizons for the Global Network for Observations and Information on Mountain Environments (GEO-GNOME)
Mountains are globally distributed environments that provide significant societal benefits, a function that is increasingly compromised by climatic change, environmental stress, political and socioeconomic transformations, and unsustainable use of natural resources. Gaps in our understanding of these processes and their interactions limit our capacity to inform decisions, where both generalities of mountain regions (eg climate processes) and spec…
A New High-Resolution Map of World Mountains and an Online Tool for Visualizing and Comparing Characterizations of Global Mountain Distributions
Answers to the seemingly straightforward questions “what is a mountain?” and “where are the mountains of the world?” are in fact quite complex, and there have been few attempts to map the mountains of the earth in a consistent and rigorous fashion. However, knowing exactly where mountain ecosystems are distributed on the planet is a precursor to conserving them, as called for in Sustainable Development Goals 6 and 15 of the United Nations 2030 Ag…

Raymond Williams, Romanticism and Nature
This article discusses the important British social, literary and cultural critic, Raymond Williams, in his relation to Romanticism, seen as a broad movement of protest expressed in many cultural fields against the conditions of life in capitalist modernity. After exploring the Romantic dimension of Williams's major works, including Culture and Society [Williams, Raymond. 1958. Culture and Society, 1780–1950. New York: Harper & Row], The Country …

Marx, Engels Met les écrivains romantiques
Este ensaio explora os diálogos entre Marx, Engels e escritores românticos, como Heine, Balzac e Hugo. Os autores argumentam que, apesar das críticas de Marx e Engels ao idealismo e à visão de mundo burguesa presente no romantismo, ambos reconheceram o valor da crítica social e da representação realista da sociedade capitalista nas obras desses autores. O ensaio destaca a influência do romantismo na formação do pensamento de Marx e Engels, partic…
Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity
Romanticism is a worldview that finds expression over a whole range of cultural fields—not only in literature and art but in philosophy, theology, political theory, and social movements. In Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity Michael Lowy and Robert Sayre formulate a theory that defines romanticism as a cultural protest against modern bourgeois industrial civilization and work to reveal the unity that underlies the extraordinary diversity o…
A corrente romântica nas ciências sociais da Inglaterra: Edward P. Thompson e Raymond Williams
Num trecho dos Grundrisse, Marx formula as seguintes observações sobre a perspectiva "romântica": É tão o absurdo aspirar ao retorno de uma plenitude original quanto crer que a História imobiliza-se para sempre no vácuo do presente. O ponto de vista burguês nunca avançou além desta antítese entre ele mesmo e o ponto de vista romântico, e assim esse último acompanha-lo-á, como sua antítese legítima, até seu final feliz
Réification et consommation ostentatoire dans Gatsby le Magnifique
Robert Sayre and Michael Löwy, Réification and Conspicuous Consumption in "The Great Gatsby" Starting from the notion that literature can provide an irreplaceable, sui generis illumination of social reality, the article attempts to illustrate the proposition by examining what The Great Gatsby can bring to the understanding of those fundamental aspects of modern society analyzed by Marx/Lukács and Thorstein Veblen : réification and conspicuous con…
Romantismo como visão feminista: A busca de Christa Wolf
Poucos autores modernos deram tanta força de expressão à "afinidade eletiva" entre o romantismo e o feminismo quanto o fez Christa Wolf. Quando nos referimos a ela como escritora romântica, não só levamos em consideração seu interesse explícito pelas escritoras românticas do início do século XIX, como Caroline von Günderrode e Bettina von Arnim, mas também, e acima de tudo, sua própria visão de mundo romântica, e a relação desta com o marxismo e …
L’expérience et l’interprétation de la crise chez Crèvecoeur
A number of the texts in St. John de Crèvecœur's Letters From an American Farmer and Sketches of 18th-Century America reveal a complex vision of the crisis occasioned by the social turmoil of the American Revolution, a vision that expresses itself both in terms of lived experience and of reflective interpretation. The revolutionary crisis is seen to take significantly different forms on the frontier and in the more settled areas. These texts thro…

La guerre d’Espagne: Écrivains et écriture aux Etats-Unis
The Spanish Civil War constituted one of the major focuses of political commitment for American writers in the 1930s. Similar to overall American public opinion, American writers strongly leaned toward the Republican side in the conflict. They supported the loyalists through a variety of activities, in Spain as well as the US, and through their writings, fictional and non-fictional. In their relation to the war they adopted a number of different …

Un entretien accordé à Robert Sayre et Michaël Löwy au début de cette année, à l'occasion du 40e anniversaire de Monthly Review, dont Magdoff est co-éditeur.

Romantisme anti-capitaliste » et révolution chez Freneau
Prenant pour point de départ le concept de romantisme anti-capitaliste — une vision du monde qui implique le rejet d'un monde moderne fondé sur la valeur d'échange et une nostalgie pour un paradis antérieur perdu — , cet article s'e'fforce de démontrer que l'œuvre de Freneau met en jeu cette vision du monde aussi bien que celle des Lumières, deux configurations en partie contradictoires. Alors que ses textes à thèmes révolutionnaires (français ou…
Une critique de Jacoby
Cette critique, tout en donnant raison à Jacoby sur un certain nombre de points, souligne que les affirmations de celui-ci sont souvent superficielles, trop simplificatrices, ou non suffisamment étayées par des analyses fouillées. Le tableau qu'en fait Jacoby ne correspond pas véritablement à la situation actuelle de la gauche à l'Université
Utopie romantique et Révolution française
Robert Sayre and Michael Löwy, Romantic Utopia and the trench revolution The article takes as its point of departure the conception that Romanticism is a critique of the modem world and its bourgeois civilization in the name of values from a pre-modern, pre-capitalist past. Among the Romantics one can find both partisans and adversaries of the French Revolution. In the camp of the partisans there exists an apparently paradoxical current ; politic…

Solitude in Society: A Sociological Study in French Literature
Robert Sayre brings a special kind of literary intelligence to his study of the problem of isolation in modern society. He gives us a spirited instance of a sociological approach to literature, more specifically a Marxist approach that forcefully links a literary theme to a social fact. In contrast to the existentialist interpretation of alienation (in which isolation is the eternal dilemma of Man), a Marxist analysis interprets solitude in socie…

Anglo-American Writers, the Communist Movement and the Spanish Civil War: The Case of Dos Passos
The Spanish Civil War, a high point of «commitment» for Anglo-American writers, played an ambivalent role in their intellectual trajectories vis-à-vis Communism. A common pattern consisted of « fellow-traveling» with Stalinism, followed by a crisis of doubt, identification with a Leftist dissident tendency, and eventually total rejection of Communism. In some cases the Spanish war hastened, while in others it retarded this process. For Dos Passos…

Les derniers intellectuels
Dans les années 30, 40 et même 50, les intellectuels, et plus particulièrement les intellectuels de gauche, n'étaient généralement pas des universitaires, ou quand ils l'étaient restaient aux marges de l'Université et se définissaient toujours à l'instar de leurs confrères journalistes et écrivains « free-lance », comme auteurs indépendants et « publics », c'est-à-dire qui s'adressaient à un large public cultivé. À partir des années 60, par contr…
