Pourquoi faisons-nous les mêmes gestes, déformons-nous nos visages de la même façon, laissons-nous des larmes couler sur nos joues quand nous venons de perdre un proche ? Les émotions ne nous appartiennent-elles qu’à nous ou sont-elles la part « primitive » de l’Homme ? A l’aide de photos prises par Charles Darwin, l’auteur nous aide à penser.

Summary:
Pourquoi faisons-nous les mêmes gestes, déformons-nous nos visages de la même façon, laissons-nous des larmes couler sur nos joues quand nous venons de perdre un proche ? Les émotions ne nous appartiennent-elles qu’à nous ou sont-elles la part « primitive » de l’Homme ? A l’aide de photos prises par Charles Darwin, l’auteur nous aide à penser. Les émotions ne nous figent pas. Elles peuvent être un moteur. Ces femmes dans le Cuirassé Potemkine pleurent un matelot assassiné... Mais dans un même mouvement, elles se mettent à serrer les poings. Le « peuple en larmes » devient le « peuple en armes ». Les émotions peuvent nous guider. Autant, voire plus, que la raison. Gilles Deleuze affirme « l’émotion ne dit pas je ». Georges Didi-Huberman nous permet de comprendre en quoi elle est un message, un mouvement hors de soi, une façon d’aller vers l’autre, de s’exposer.

Summary:
Lieu d'émergence de la politique, la cosmopolis l'est également de la stratégie, géopolitique et géostratégie se trouvant confondues dans ses murs, ses tours, sa voirie, ses places d'armes. Cependant, depuis 2001, cette dimension géographique des conflits a radicalement changé de nature, au point que la concentration metropolitique l'emporte désormais sur l'antique géopolitique des nations. Après Hiroshima, l'attentat massif contre New York a en effet inauguré l'ère du " déséquilibre de la terreur " en ruinant l'importance stratégique, non seulement du nombre d'adversaires en présence, mais également de toute étendue. Centralisant ainsi l'effroi sur la seule concentration verticale des métropoles, le caractère suicidaire de l'action engagée a ruiné avec la forme militaire de la guerre, la forme politique de la Cité.

La plupart d'entre eux suivent le double rythme de l'actualité (les terrorismes italiens et allemand, la question palestinienne, le pacifisme, etc.) et de la parution des ouvrages (Mille Plateaux, L'Image-mouvement et L'Image-temps, Qu'est-ce que la philosophie ?, etc.). Ce recueil comprend des conférences, des préfaces, des articles, des entretiens, publiés tantôt en France, tantôt à l'étranger. Comme pour le premier volume, nous n'avons pas voulu imposer un parti pris au sens ou à l'orientation des textes, si bien que nous avons adopté un ordre de présentation strictement chronologique. Il ne s'agit pas de reconstituer un quelconque livre "de" Deleuze ou dont Deleuze aurait eu le projet. Ce recueil vise à rendre disponible des textes souvent peu accessibles, dispersés dans des revues, des quotidiens, des ouvrages collectifs, des publications à l'étranger, etc...

Summary:
The works of the great literary and cultural critic Walter Benjamin are a reservoir of texts, commentaries, scraps and fragments of everyday life, arts and dreams. This beautifully designed book gives an insight into Benjamin's habits of collecting and archiving through some of his most personal documents. From notebooks in which every conceivable space is covered with handwriting, and a heartfelt traveller's series of postcards, to a sequence of Benjamin's own photographs, and lists that include a collection of his son Stefan's early words and sentences, this wonderful collection testifies to Benjamin's complex and kaleidoscopic passion for the ephemera of human life. Illustrated throughout in color and black and white.

Summary:
How is the present crisis of left-wing thought to be understood? To what extent does it call into the question the idea of social totality that underpinned Marxism and many other socialist theories? Does the concept of hegemony imply a new logic that goes beyond the essentialism of classical Marxist thought? These are some of the questions that this now seminal book attempts to answer. It traces the genealogy of the present crisis, from the nineteenth-century debates to the contemporary emergence of new forms of struggle, making it a classic text both for understanding hegemony and for focusing on present social struggles and their significance for democratic theory.

Summary:
Compiled in 2001 to commemorate the passing of an era, Hatred of Capitalism brings together highlights of Semiotext(e)'s most beloved and prescient works. Semiotext(e)'s three-decade history mirrors the history of American thought. Founded by French theorist and critic Sylvere Lotringer as a scholarly journal in 1974, Semiotext(e) quickly took on the mission of melding French theory with the American art world and punk underground. Its Foreign Agents, Native Agents, Active Agents and Double Agents imprints have brought together thinkers and writers as diverse as Gilles Deleuze, Assata Shakur, Bob Flanagan, Paul Virillio, Kate Millet, Jean Baudrillard, Michelle Tea, William S. Burroughs, Eileen Myles, Ulrike Meinhof, and Fanny Howe. In Hatred of Capitalism, editors Kraus and Lotringer bring these people together in the same volume for the first time.

Summary:
What does feminism have to say to the Anthropocene? How does the concept of the Anthropocene impact feminism? This book is a daring and provocative response to the masculinist and techno-normative approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists, artists, humanists, and social scientists. By coining and, for the first time, fully exploring the concept of “anthropocene feminism,” it highlights the alternatives feminism and queer theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene. Feminist theory has long been concerned with the anthropogenic impact of humans, particularly men, on nature. Consequently, the contributors to this volume explore not only what current interest in the Anthropocene might mean for feminism but also what it is that feminist theory can contribute to technoscientific understandings of the Anthropocene. With essays from prominent environmental and feminist scholars on topics ranging from Hawaiian poetry to Foucault to shelled creatures to hypomodernity to posthuman feminism, this book highlights both why we need an anthropocene feminism and why thinking about the Anthropocene must come from feminism.

Summary:
For the French philosopher Miguel Abensour, the fictional genre of utopia has provided thinkers and artists a fertile ground to explore for the past 500 years, both as a way to imagine new emancipatory practices of shared existence and as a tyrannical imposition of power. Here, Abensour’s project is to examine the idea of utopia in two different but powerful moments in its trajectory: first, utopia’s beginning, when Thomas More sought a path for justice through a world in transformation, and second, when utopia faced its greatest danger, the moment that Walter Benjamin called “catastrophe.”
