El matsutake es el hongo más valioso del mundo, crece en los bosques alterados por los humanos en el hemisferio norte. Su capacidad para nutrir árboles ayuda a que crezcan bosques en lugares desalentadores. También es un manjar en Japón, donde alcanza precios astronómicos. Pero, más allá de la micología, el matsutake plantea una pregunta crucial: ¿qué seres se las arreglan para vivir en las ruinas que hemos creado? Una historia de diversidad dentro de nuestros dañados ecosistemas y paisajes, La seta del fin del mundo sigue la peculiar cadena de una de las materias primas más extrañas de nuestro tiempo, explorando así rincones inesperados del capitalismo: los gourmets japoneses, los comerciantes, los luchadores hmongs, los bosques industriales, los pastores de cabras chinos de etnia yi, los guías de naturaleza finlandeses... Investigando uno de los hongos más buscados del mundo, la autora expone la relación entre la destrucción capitalista y la supervivencia colaborativa.

"A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction."--Publisher's description.

On the premise that words have the power to make worlds, each essay in this book follows a word as it travels around the globe and across time. Scholars from five disciplines address thirteen societies to highlight the social and political life of words in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. The approach is consciously experimental, in that rigorously tracking specific words in specific settings frequently leads in unexpected directions and alters conventional depictions of global modernity. Such words as security in Brazil, responsibility in Japan, community in Thailand, and hijāb in France changed the societies in which they moved even as the words were changed by them. Some words threatened to launch wars, as injury did in imperial Britain’s relations with China in the nineteenth century. Others, such as secularism, worked in silence to agitate for political change in twentieth-century Morocco. Words imposed or imported from abroad could be transformed by those who wielded them to oppose the very powers that first introduced them, as happened in Turkey, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Taken together, this selection of fourteen essays reveals commonality as well as distinctiveness across modern societies, making the world look different from the interdisciplinary and transnational perspective of “words in motion.” Contributors.

Dans les vestiges des grands pins ponderosas d'Oregon pousse le matsutake, un champignon qui compte parmi les aliments les plus chers au monde. C'est le point de départ de cette enquête qui transforme un paradoxe en outil d'exploration : en suivant la piste de ce champignon rare, Anna Tsing décrypte la dynamique de notre monde au bord de la destruction au moyen d'outils conceptuels neufs. Bien plus qu'une métaphore, le matsutake est une leçon d'optimisme dans un monde désespérant. Ce n'est pas seulement dans les pays ravagés par la guerre qu'il faut apprendre à vivre dans les ruines. Car les ruines se rapprochent et nous enserrent de toute part, des sites industriels aux paysages naturels dévastés. Mais l'erreur serait de croire que l'on se contente d'y survivre. Dans les ruines prolifèrent en effet de nouveaux mondes qu'Anna Tsing a choisi d'explorer en suivant l'odyssée étonnante d'un mystérieux champignon qui ne pousse que dans les forêts détruites. Suivre les matsutakes, c'est s'intéresser aux cueilleurs de l'Oregon, ces travailleurs précaires, vétérans des guerres américaines, immigrés sans papiers, qui vendent chaque soir les champignons ramassés le jour et qui termineront comme des produits de luxe sur les étals des épiceries fines japonaises. Chemin faisant, on comprend pourquoi la " précarité " n'est pas seulement un terme décrivant la condition des cueilleurs sans emploi stable mais un concept pour penser le monde qui nous est imposé. Suivre les matsutakes, c'est apporter un éclairage nouveau sur la manière dont le capitalisme s'est inventé comme mode d'exploitation et dont il ravage aujourd'hui la planète. Suivre les matsutakes, c'est aussi une nouvelle manière de faire de la biologie : les champignons sont une espèce très particulière qui bouscule les fondements des sciences du vivant. Les matsutakes ne sont donc pas un prétexte ou une métaphore, ils sont le support surprenant d'une leçon d'optimisme dans un monde désespérant.

Living on a damaged planet challenges who we are and where we live. This timely anthology calls on twenty eminent humanists and scientists to revitalize curiosity, observation, and transdisciplinary conversation about life on earth. As human-induced environmental change threatens multispecies livability, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet puts forward a bold proposal: entangled histories, situated narratives, and thick descriptions offer urgent “arts of living.” Included are essays by scholars in anthropology, ecology, science studies, art, literature, and bioinformatics who posit critical and creative tools for collaborative survival in a more-than-human Anthropocene. The essays are organized around two key figures that also serve as the publication’s two openings: Ghosts, or landscapes haunted by the violences of modernity; and Monsters, or interspecies and intraspecies sociality. Ghosts and Monsters are tentacular, windy, and arboreal arts that invite readers to encounter ants, lichen, rocks, electrons, flying foxes, salmon, chestnut trees, mud volcanoes, border zones, graves, radioactive waste—in short, the wonders and terrors of an unintended epoch.

In this highly original and much-anticipated ethnography, Anna Tsing challenges not only anthropologists and feminists but all those who study culture to reconsider some of their dearest assumptions. By choosing to locate her study among Meratus Dayaks, a marginal and marginalized group in the deep rainforest of South Kalimantan, Indonesia, Tsing deliberately sets into motion the familiar and stubborn urban fantasies of self and other. Unusual encounters with her remarkably creative and unconventional Meratus friends and teachers, however, provide the opportunity to rethink notions of tradition, community, culture, power, and gender--and the doing of anthropology. Tsing's masterful weaving of ethnography and theory, as well as her humor and lucidity, allow for an extraordinary reading experience for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the complexities of culture. Engaging Meratus in wider conversations involving Indonesian bureaucrats, family planners, experts in international development, Javanese soldiers, American and French feminists, Asian-Americans, right-to-life advocates, and Western intellectuals, Tsing looks not for consensus and coherence in Meratus culture but rather allows individual Meratus men and women to return our gaze. Bearing the fruit from the lively contemporary conversations between anthropology and cultural studies, In the Realm of the Diamond Queen will prove to be a model for thinking and writing about gender, power, and the politics of identity.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago • Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world—from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. “Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting." Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you're from.

In 1861 French silkworm merchant Hervé Joncour travels to Japan, where he encounters the mysterious Hara Kei. He develops a painful longing for Kei’s beautiful concubine – but they cannot touch; they don’t even speak. And he cannot read the note she sends him until he has returned to his own country. But the moment he does, Joncour is enslaved. Subtle, tender and surprising, Silk is an evocative tale of erotic possession.
