#Christine_Bold : #Andrea_Dworkin, plus actuelle que jamais

Last Days at Hot Slit présente l’œuvre de Dworkin de 1973 à 1999 dans toute sa complexité, sa radicalité, sa causticité et sa violence. Des extraits de ses essais et appels à l’action sont entrecoupés d’éléments autobiographiques et de textes de fiction rédigés à la première personne. Dworkin a grandi dans une famille juive de la petite classe moyenne, à Camden, dans le New Jersey, avec une mère souffrant de maladie chronique et un père aimant. La litanie des violences sexuelles commence pour elle à 9 ans, quand un inconnu la viole dans l’obscurité d’un cinéma. À 20 ans, elle est interpellée pour avoir manifesté contre la guerre du Vietnam et placée en détention à la prison pour femmes de Manhattan, où elle subit « des fouilles à corps incessantes, puis des fouilles internes pratiquées par les médecins de la prison ». Cela lui provoque quinze jours de saignements. Quelques années plus tard, après son mariage avec un anarchiste hollandais, la voilà femme battue. Et, pendant tout ce temps, elle écrit. Son premier livre et la carte postale fébrile datent d’une époque terrifiante où elle a fui et se cache d’un mari meurtrier résolu à lui faire la peau. Que ce soit dans les lettres adressées à la presse pour dénoncer les mauvais traitements subis en prison et qui amenèrent à ouvrir une enquête judiciaire sur l’établissement, dans ses textes ulcérés sur les liens entre domination sexuelle masculine et injustice sociale ou dans sa captivante transposition en fiction de son expérience de la prostitution de survie, Dworkin a toujours eu comme objectif de provoquer un changement radical.
Dworkin acquiert une nouvelle pertinence et se voit réévaluée pour sa prescience à l’heure du mouvement #MeeToo.

Contre les droits héréditaires
▻https://laviedesidees.fr/Contre-les-droits-hereditaires.html
Comment la #révolution française a-t-elle pu, tout en abolissant les privilèges, fonder de nouvelles #inégalités ? Thomas Piketty retrace l’histoire des justifications théoriques de la propriété, et propose une nouvelle idéologie de l’égalité sans remettre en question le droit à la propriété privée.

L’engagement des révolutionnaires français en faveur de l’égalité successorale révèle la conscience aiguë qu’ils ont de la manière dont la transmission des richesses d’une génération à l’autre installe durablement des modèles d’inégalités sociales. Mais leur approche intrafamiliale, bien que bénéfique pour les jeunes fils et filles, n’est pas parvenue à remédier aux inégalités croissantes entre les familles. Cet échec a largement contribué à l’augmentation des inégalités de richesse du XIXe siècle à nos jours.
Sans le formuler explicitement, Piketty identifie implicitement la transmission héréditaire du patrimoine – et, plus largement, le principe de l’hérédité – comme un facteur essentiel de la perpétuation et l’accroissement des inégalités.

À propos de : Tim Bartley, Rules without Rights : Land, Labor, and Private Authority in the Global Economy, Oxford University Press. Les excès de la #mondialisation, telles l’exploitation des travailleurs et la dégradation de l’environnement par les industries internationales, sont souvent attribués à l’absence de règles. Pourtant ces règles existent ; l’échec vient de ce qu’elles négligent les contextes de leur application.

À propos de : Clare Carlisle (ed.), Spinoza’s Ethics Translated by George Eliot, Princeton University Press. Le savait-on ? La première #traduction anglaise de l’Éthique est due à l’une des plus grandes romancières britanniques : George Eliot, qui avant de se lancer dans la fiction a traduit Feuerbach, David Strauss, mais aussi Spinoza. Une traduction demeurée inédite à ce jour, et qui n’a rien à envier à celles qui ont suivi.

En #Inde, le confinement aura des conséquences terribles sur une économie informelle qui repose sur la mobilité, et risque d’aggraver les profondes inégalités qui divisent le pays. Les ravages de la faim et la faiblesse des infrastructures de santé menacent d’alourdir le bilan mortel du virus.

Twenty-five years after its creation, Java is still the most popular programming language according to the latest TIOBE index. Who would have thought that the language invented by Sun would have such a destiny when it was created in 1995?Today, knowing how to program in Java language has become almost indispensable. Why? Simply because the language that now belongs to Oracle allows you to do everything. It is thus possible to create desktop applications, Web applications or mobile applications via Android, which is crushing the smartphone market. The question of the need to learn Java does not therefore arise in 2019.Books to learn Java are numerous and it is therefore very difficult to find your way around such an important choice. In addition, the Java language has evolved a lot since (...)

Essential Reading List for Enterprise Software Developers and Architects

The target audience for this reading list is enterprise software developers and architects. I chose to focus on system design, data modelling, security, devops, process, creativity, and computer science foundations which are essential and generally useful to most software engineers. Enjoy, happy reading, and let me know what you think!Code Complete by Steve McConnell — This comprehensive, classic tome on software design, construction, and craftsmanship has stood the test of time. McConnell’s discussion of metaphors, #architecture, debugging, quality assurance and ethics are excellent and still relevant in the context of the cloud, troubleshooting complex systems, fixing security defects, and collaborating with diverse teams. My favorite proverb therein is: measure twice, cut once. Visit the (...)

I am deeply grateful you gave it time and hope the book with remain useful to you. Lots of love, DanielI knew a lot about regenerative #culture before I opened this book. I knew how it differs from sustainability (although I actually see #regeneration as fundamental to true sustainability; it’s just that mainstream views of sustainability don’t recognize that). But I’ve now learned that what I knew is clearly only a beginning. So I’ve ended up writing two parallel reviews, a new adventure for me… Here’s my first one:1.I have not finished this book. I was waiting until I finished it to write a review. But now I realize that my (...)

According to statistics, the majority of the population does not even read a book a year. On the other hand, one often hears that “successful” people read at least ten books a year. Whether these facts are true or not, they inspired me almost ten years ago to make me read at least 50 books each year. That’s how my “52 Books in 52 Week Challenge” came into being.In 2018 I had the “ten year anniversary” of this challenge.

When I was kid, I bought a learning kit from the book fair that taught me about electricity. It showed me how to wire an LED light and make a buzzer. I tried to set a trap to alarm me when somebody came to my room. Around the same time in life, I had a teacher who said I was lousy at math. I’ve avoided anything math or science-related as much as possible ever since.Two things happened this week related to that math aversion. I started an intensive 10-week course to learn software development, with the end goal of finding an entry level job as a software developer. And towards the end of the week, another learning kit arrived in the mail to teach me about circuits and solar electricity.I had a difficult time deciding whether or not to attend the coding class. But my first week of class (...)

Most of us want to read more — few of us find the time or the motivation to do it. #books clubs are an excellent motivator while expanding the worth you get from #reading a book on your own. You receive the benefit of a diverse range of opinions on each topic which makes every book more valuable and aids in the retention of the information you’ve consumed.We will get through a book in two weeks. This gives people enough time to order the physical copy if that’s their preference.During the process, the group acts as an open forum to discuss what you’ve read, why you find it interesting or the reason you disagree (especially if you disagree!). From there, discussion will naturally occur which has enough differing perspective and viewpoints to make things compelling and interesting.The only rule (...)
