Summary:
In "Atmospheric Things" Derek P. McCormack explores how atmospheres are imagined, understood, and experienced through experiments with a deceptively simple object: the balloon. Since the invention of balloon flight in the late eighteenth century, balloons have drawn crowds at fairs and expositions, inspired the visions of artists and writers, and driven technological development from meteorology to military surveillance. By foregrounding the distinctive properties of the balloon, McCormack reveals its remarkable capacity to disclose the affective and meteorological dimensions of atmospheres. Drawing together different senses of the object, the elements, and experience, McCormack uses the balloon to show how practices and technologies of envelopment allow atmospheres to be generated, made meaningful, and modified.

Summary:
Rédigé quelques mois avant son décès, cet essai de Simone Weil est le condensé des réflexions d’une vie, l’aboutissement d’une pensée extraordinairement lucide. Se penchant sur la part de sacré qui réside en tout un chacun, Simone Weil remet en question le concept même de personne. Nul n’est sacré. Le sacré est à chercher en l’homme, dans l’impersonnel.

Se penchant sur la part de sacré qui réside en tout un chacun, Simone Weil remet en question le concept même de personne. Nul n’est sacré. Le sacré est à chercher en l’homme, dans l’impersonnel. À l’heure où la notion de personne est au centre des discours politiques, des campagnes de marketing et des questions morales, cet essai opère un renversement de perspective salvateur. Il en découle la recherche de principes, au-delà des libertés démocratiques et des institutions, capables de limiter et d’orienter ces dernières. Il est urgent, selon elle, d’inventer des institutions qui ne se limiteraient pas à protéger nos droits mais qui seraient capables d’abolir ce qui écrase les hommes et entraîne l’injustice.

Summary:
Les Thèses « Sur le concept d'histoire » de 1940 sont le dernier écrit de Walter Benjamin et constituent peut-être le document le plus significatif dans la pensée critique du XXe siècle. Texte allusif, sybillin, dont l'hermétisme est constellé d'images et d'allégories, semé de paradoxes, traversé d'intuitions. Ce livre en propose une étude au mot à mot. Là où d'autres ne(...)

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.
