On this occasion, we would like to recall the 26th issue of Fabula-LhT: "Situer la théorie : pensées de la littérature et savoirs situés (féminismes, postcolonialismes)", edited by Marie-Jeanne Zenetti, Flavia Bujor, Marion Coste, Claire Paulian, Heta Rundgren, and Aurore Turbiau, and accompanied by a critical dossier in Acta Fabula.

In 1988, Donna Haraway introduced a concept that has since become central across academic, artistic, and activist circles. Situated at the intersection of feminism, decolonial thought, and ecological discourse, this idea remains profoundly stimulating. Marseille-based publisher Wildproject has included a translation of Donna Haraway's essay Situated Knowledges in its "Petite bibliothèque d'écologie populaire" series, making the text accessible to contemporary readers within broader environmental and critical traditions.
