"Unlike natural disasters, which happen because of the earth's natural geological processes, environmental catastrophes are devastating events that occur due to humanity's impact on the environment. These can include nuclear bombings, oil spills, and more recently the extreme weather events brought about by climate change. Wildfires, heat waves, flooding, droughts, and numerous other catastrophic scenarios manifest as a result. With the global impact of environmental catastrophes becoming increasingly pronounced, scientists and politicians alike question what the best course of action may be to slow or even reverse the devastation"--

Résumé La catastrophe fait aujourd'hui partie de notre quotidien, comme si l'apocalypse pouvait nous tomber dessus tous les matins. Ce rapport démentiel au monde est cependant légitime, construit et non imaginaire, homogène au socius postmoderne. Une biopolitique des catastrophes s'est mise en place, qui tente d'intégrer cette nouvelle donne pour conjurer les risques qui composent, nous dit Beck, la mesure de nos sociétés post-progressistes. Cette biopolitique semble pourtant, par ses pratiques mêmes, rendre difficile la mise en place d'une écopolitique capable d'agir sur les causes, et non les effets des dommages que nous subissons d'ores et déjà.

Quelles représentations de la crise écologique conduisent à l'action ? À celles de l'effondrement correspondent les affects de peur, mais aussi du sublime et du sadisme. Il faudrait plutôt solliciter des affects qui rappellent à l'homme sa finitude : l'inquiétude, le grotesque, la joie, l'abnégation.

Abstract
This essay argues that black feminist poethics uncovers a deep philosophical problem between pure form and pure matter. Mathematics is the site of such contention, and the decision to retain form or destroy form presents ontological and epistemological complexities for a philosophy of mathematics in Black studies. Ultimately, this essay offers mathematical nihilism as the only hope for blacks in an antiblack world.

An insurgency war against Khartoum's abusive governance in Darfur Province (far western Sudan) began in Feb 2003. The war had been long simmering because of the many & serious grievances held by the people of Darfur, especially the Africa tribal groups (most notably the Fur, Zaghawa, & Massaleit). The change in governance system for Darfur, effected by the National Islamic Front when it came to power by military coup in 1989, had exacerbated the sense of marginalization long felt by the people Darfur. Lack of political power & a fair share of the national resources, a common theme throughout Sudan, have defined Darfur's fate for decades. Adapted from the source document.
