Sommario/riassunto

"Sacred Civics argues that societal transformation requires that spirituality and sacred values are essential to reimagining patterns of how we live, organize and govern ourselves, determine and distribute wealth, inhabit and design cities, and construct relationships with others and with nature. The book brings together transdisciplinary and global academics, professionals and activists from a range of backgrounds to question assumptions that are fused deep into the code of how societies operate, and to draw on extraordinary wisdom from ancient Indigenous traditions; to social and political movements like Black Lives Matter, the commons, and wellbeing economies; to technologies for participatory futures where people collaborate to reimagine and change culture. Looking at cities and human settlements as the sites of transformation, the book focuses on values, commons and wisdom to demonstrate that how we choose to live together, to recognize interdependencies, to build, grow, create, and love - matters. Using multiple methodologies to integrate varied knowledge forms and practices, this truly ground-breaking volume includes contributions from renowned and rising voices. Sacred Civics is a must-read for anyone interested in intersectional discussions on social justice,



inclusivity, participatory design, healthy communities and future cities"-- Provided by publisher.

Sommario/riassunto

Le Bénin traverse des turbulences avec une succession de crises socio-politiques et d'affaires scabreuses. Des citoyens se sont érigés en vigiles des libertés. Mélangeant humour et dérision, l'auteur exprime ici son indignation face à cette classe politique qu'il décrit comme plus préoccupée par le résultat que par la responsabilité, plus attirée par le gain que par le devoir, plus intéressée par le titre que par le service."
