Albert Camus' ironic judge-penitent, Jean-Baptiste Clemence, remarks to his compatriot in the seedy bar, Mexico City, in a shadowy district of Amsterdam, the mist rising off the canals, the fog rolling in, cheap gin the only source of warmth, "Somebody has to have the last word. Otherwise, every reason can be answered with another one and there would never be an end to it. Power, on the other hand, settles everything. It took time, but we finally realized that. For instance, you must have noticed that our old Europe at last philosophizes in the right way. We no longer say as in simple times: 'This is the way I think. What are your objections?' We have become lucid. For the dialogue we have substituted the communique: 'This is the truth,' we say. You can discuss it as much as you want; we aren't interested. But in a few years there'll be the police who will show you we are right."Now this is still an imperfect method of control—the enforcers are clearly identified and the coercion is too obvious. Not so in Orwell's1984. As Syme, the chilling destroyer of language proclaims: "It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words." Speaking to Orwell's protagonist Winston Smith, Syme continues: "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought. In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactlyoneword, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten…. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there's no reason or excuse for committing thoughtcrime. It's merely a question of self-discipline, reality control. But in the end there won't be any need even for that. The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect."

International audience ; Si les changements environnementaux liés à l'humanité ne font aucun doute, leur ampleur et leurs conséquences ne sont pas si faciles à évaluer. Pour le savant, il s'agit d'établir les liens de causalité et les impacts avec le plus de précision possible, puis de poser un diagnostic. Le présent dictionnaire s'appuie sur le concept récent d'«anthropocène», qui a le mérite, qu'on l'approuve ou non, de relancer la réflexion sur les rapports entre nature et société, entre constat scientifique et action politique, à travers une approche spatiale et territoriale. Procédant de façon critique, et fruit d'une démarche collective, cette vaste entreprise éditoriale se fonde sur une pratique de terrain, attentive aux détails et méfiante à l'égard des discours pré-établis. Parmi les 330 notices, plusieurs thèmes sont au cœur des débats contemporains (biodiversité, changement climatique…), d'autres se réfèrent à des courants de pensée (écoféminisme, transhumanisme…). Les concepts mobilisés abordent des questions politiques (capitalocène, justice environnementale…), philosophiques (catastrophes, Gaïa…), ou épistémologiques (finitude, population…). Des notions classiques sont réinterrogées (nature, ressource…), tandis que des concepts sont précisés (biosphère, écosystème…). D'autres notices discutent de mécanismes environnementaux (érosion, tsunami…), de pratiques récentes (agroécologie, ville durable…), de phénomènes territorialisés (déforestation, désertification…) ou d'artefacts (aéroport, autoroute…). Certaines examinent des lieux emblématiques (Amazonie, Fukushima…). D'autres, enfin, offrent un regard original sur l'anthropocène, sa faune (chien, ours…), ses mutations socio-économiques, institutionnelles ou politiques (biopiraterie, ZAD…). Un dictionnaire de référence sur un concept devenu incontournable. (4e de couverture)
