Summary:
Anomalie ou transgression d'un ordre normatif, le monstre offre à la contemplation le double visage de l'insolite et du contre-nature, de l'impossible et de l'interdit. Figure effarante ou fascinante d'une humanité problématique, il constitue pour l'historien une entrée singulièrement féconde dans le jeu des anxiétés et dans les systèmes de normes qui régissent les sociétés. A condition toutefois de considérer le monstre, non comme un donné, mais comme une représentation, une construction sociale et culturelle. Dans quelle mesure l'écarte par rapport à la norme peut-il être toléré dans une société donnée? Quels sont les critères de la monstruosité? Quels savoirs, fantasmes et angoisses s'y projettent? Ces questions impliquent de reconstituer, dans leur historicité, les discours, les pratiques, les sensibilités collectives qui fondent le jugement sur le monstrueux. Sauvages «cannibales» découverts par les explorateurs, spécimens tératologiques, phénomènes de foire, clones de laboratoires, créatures cinématographiques ou criminels pervers médiatisés : la vingtaine d'études ici rassemblées retrace une multiplicité d'expériences du monstre, dans les sociétés européennes, mais également dans d'autres aires culturelles, soulignant confrontations et emprunts. De la république romaine jusqu'à nos jours, c'est sur la longue durée qu'elles invitent à explorer les imaginaires sociaux sur les traces du monstre, tout en soulignant l'actualité des questions qu'il pose à nos sociétés.

Elle nous pétrit, et ce que nous vivons nous paraît immuable. Mais rien n'est jamais établi définitivement, malgré l'âpre résistance aux changements fondamentaux des quelques uns gavés de biens, de privilèges, farouchement agrippés à leur pouvoir de l'instant. Il ne tient qu'à nous, à notre lucidité et à notre courage, de transformer ce monde afin de poursuivre la genèse. L'ambition de ce livre est de participer à cette oeuvre nécessaire et d'aider autant que faire se peut à sa réussite.

Summary:

Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri argue that while classical imperialism has largely disappeared, a new empire is emerging in a diffuse blend of technology, economics, and globalization. The book brings together unlikely bedfellows: Hardt, associate professor in Duke University's literature program, and Negri, among other things a writer and inmate at Rebibbia Prison in Rome. Empire aspires to the same scale of grand political philosophy as Locke or Marx or Fukuyama, but whether Hardt and Negri accomplish this daunting task is debatable. It is, however, an exciting book that is especially timely following the emergence of terrorism as a geopolitical force.
