Summary:
Dans ces essais datant de la République de Weimar et, pour l'essentiel, parus dans le "feuilleton" du Frankfurter Zeitung, Siegfried Kracauer explore les nouveaux phénomènes culturels les spectacles de variétés, les revues de girls où les corps servent d'ornements mobiles, les " best-sellers ", le roman policier, le cinéma... Il s'en saisit pour réfléchir sur les ambivalences de la modernité, porteuse d'une promesse d'émancipation, mais aussi lourde de menaces de régression, comme en témoignera l'arrivée des Nazis au pouvoir en 1933. Méfiante envers les cadres théoriques trop rigides, qui barrent l'accès aux phénomènes, la pensée singulière de Kracauer se construit dans une confrontation directe et sensible avec la culture urbaine et ses formes culturelles : c'est en partant des "manifestations discrètes de surface" qu'il devient selon lui possible de déterminer le "lieu qu'une époque occupe dans le processus historique". Cet ouvrage constitue une des premières analyses lucides de la culture de masse.

This nostalgic tour-de-force celebrates the alternative news-papers that forever influenced culture, politics, and society. Taking the collective name from the wartime 'underground press' of Europe's anti-Nazi resistance, the rebellious countercultural publications examined here were all members of the Underground Press Syndicate (later renamed the Alternative Press Syndicate), which was founded in 1967 so that member papers could freely share material. This utopian model perfectly suited the times. The work of soon to be famous writers and artists such as Hunter S. Thompson, T. Coraghessan Boyle, Ken Kesey, T. Crumb, and Art Spiegelman was soon widely available from coast to coast.

In 2004 and 2005, Antonio Negri held ten workshops at the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris to formulate a new political grammar of the postmodern. Postmodernity, Negri suggests, can be described as a "porcelain workshop": a delicate and fragile construction that could be destroyed through one clumsy act.

Summary:
In 2004 and 2005, Antonio Negri held ten workshops at the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris to formulate a new political grammar of the postmodern. Postmodernity, Negri suggests, can be described as a "porcelain workshop": a delicate and fragile construction that could be destroyed through one clumsy act. Looking across twentieth century history, Negri warns that our inability to anticipate future developments has already placed coming generations in serious jeopardy. Describing the years 1917-1968 as the "short century," Negri suggests that by the end of it, all of the familiar markers of modernity (including that of socialism) had lost their relevance. Confronted with an intolerable reality, indignation and the revolutionary will to transform the world have both taken new forms and must be understood anew, free of modernist assumptions. In the impassioned debates recounted in this book, Antonio Negri attempts to describe the formation of an alternative political horizon and looks for a way to define the practices and modes of expression that democracy could take.

Instead of treating art as a unique creation that requires reason and refined taste to appreciate, Elizabeth Grosz argues that art-especially architecture, music, and painting-is born from the disruptive forces of sexual selection.

Summary:
Instead of treating art as a unique creation that requires reason and refined taste to appreciate, Elizabeth Grosz argues that art-especially architecture, music, and painting-is born from the disruptive forces of sexual selection. She approaches art as a form of erotic expression connecting sensory richness with primal desire, and in doing so, finds that the meaning of art comes from the intensities and sensations it inspires, not just its intention and aesthetic. By regarding our most cultured human accomplishments as the result of the excessive, nonfunctional forces of sexual attraction and seduction, Grosz encourages us to see art as a kind of bodily enhancement or mode of sensation enabling living bodies to experience and transform the universe. Art can be understood as a way for bodies to augment themselves and their capacity for perception and affection-a way to grow and evolve through sensation. Through this framework, which knits together the theories of Charles Darwin, Henri Bergson, Gilles Deleuze, FA(c)lix Guattari, and Jakob von UexkA1/4ll, we are able to grasp art's deep animal lineage. Grosz argues that art is not tied to the predictable and known but to new futures not contained in the present. Its animal affiliations ensure that art is intensely political and charged with the creation of new worlds and new forms of living. According to Grosz, art is the way in which life experiments with materiality, or nature, in order to bring about change.

Notre temps est sans aucun doute celui de la disparition sans retour des dieux. Mais cette disparition relève de trois processus distincts, puisqu’il y a eu trois dieux capitaux : celui des religions, celui de la métaphysique et celui des poètes. Du dieu des religions, il faut seulement déclarer la mort. Le problème, qui est en dernière instance politique, est de parer aux effets désastreux qu’entraîne toute subjectivation obscure de cette mort. Du dieu de la métaphysique, il faut achever le parcours par une pensée de l’infini qui en dissémine la ressource sur l’étendue entière des multiplicités quelconques. Du dieu de la poésie, il faut que le poème désencombre la langue, en y césurant le dispositif de la perte et du retour. Engagés dans la triple destitution des dieux, nous pouvons déjà dire, nous, habitants du séjour infini de la Terre, que tout est ici, toujours ici, et que la ressource de la pensée est dans la platitude égalitaire fermement avertie, fermement déclarée, de ce qui nous advient, ici.
