Summary:
Malpas follows the development of Heidegger's topology through three stages: the early period of the 1910s and 1920s, through Being and Time, centered on the "meaning of being"; the middle period of the 1930s into the 1940s, centered on the "truth of being"; and the late period from the mid-1940s on, when the "place of being" comes to the fore.

(Malpas also challenges the widely repeated arguments that link Heidegger's notions of place and belonging to his entanglement with Nazism.) The significance of Heidegger as a thinker of place, Malpas claims, lies not only in Heidegger's own investigations but also in the way that spatial and topographic thinking has flowed from Heidegger's work into that of other key thinkers of the past 60 years.

Summary:
The Swiss-Italian economist Christian Marazzi is one of the core theorists of the Italian postfordist movement, along with Antonio Negri, Paolo Virno, and Bifo (Franco Berardi). But although his work is often cited by scholars (particularly by those in the field of "Cognitive Capitalism"), his writing has never appeared in English. This translation of his most recent work, Capital and Language (published in Italian in 2002), finally makes Marazzi's work available to an English-speaking audience. Capital and Language takes as its starting point the fact that the extreme volatility of financial markets is generally attributed to the discrepancy between the "real economy" (that of material goods produced and sold) and the more speculative monetary-financial economy. But this distinction has long ceased to apply in the postfordist New Economy, in which both spheres are structurally affected by language and communication. In Capital and Language Marazzi argues that the changes in financial markets and the transformation of labor into immaterial labor (that is, its reliance on abstract knowledge, general intellect, and social cooperation) are just two sides of the same coin. Capital and Language focuses on the causes behind the international economic and financial depression of 2001, and on the primary instrument that the U.S. government has since been using to face them: war. Marazzi points to capitalism’s fourth stage (after mercantilism, industrialism, and the postfordist culmination of the New Economy): the "War Economy" that is already upon us.

Summary:
This new book by Luc Boltanski and Arnaud Esquerre is a highly original analysis of the two key processes that shape the contemporary public sphere. On the one hand, there are the processes of news provision which select out a range of facts and events and bring them to the attention of a large number of people who have not, for the most part, experienced them directly. On the other hand, there are processes of politicization which problematize the facts made known by news provision and treat them as issues that concern citizens and the state. Politicization is typically characterized by a diversity of interpretations which, in turn, gives rise to a proliferation of commentary, discussion, polemic and division.

Fondateur de la discipline iconologique, créateur du prestigieux institut qui porte son nom, Warburg a compté parmi ses disciples les plus célèbres historiens d'art du siècle : E. Panofsky, E. Wind, F. Saxl... Avec Warburg, l'histoire de l'art n'opère plus aux confins de l'anthropologie : elle en est une catégorie. Plutôt que leur beauté, il met en évidence l'efficacité des images. Ses mots clés sont : survivance, magie, astrologie, empathie, animisme, totémisme... À trente ans, en 1896, par un geste raisonné de rupture, il se rend chez les Hopis du Nouveau-Mexique. Étrange parcours mélancolique d'un historien qui va trouver dans les rituels des Indiens pueblos les réponses aux énigmes que lui posait la Renaissance de l'Occident. À partir de 1924, Warburg élabore avec son Atlas intitulé Mnémosyne une «histoire de l'art sans texte» qui procède par juxtaposition de documents empruntés à tous les champs du savoir, esquisse mystérieuse d'un nouveau type d'exposé et d'exposition, loin des généalogies établies. L'ouvrage de Philippe-Alain Michaud n'est pas seulement un livre sur Warburg, c'est un livre avec Warburg - dont il prolonge les intuitions en introduisant dans son analyse le daguerréotype, les expériences de Marey, le cinéma primitif, la danse de Loïe Fuller, toutes pratiques qui affleurent dans l'interprétation warburgienne des images et qui en éclairent la singularité. Philippe-Alain Michaud, ancien élève de l'École normale de Saint-Cloud, est philosophe de formation. Warburg et l'image en mouvement est son premier livre.

The essay is the freer form and one better suited to exploration than the longer meditation, the book. This startling new series puts the reader in the place of colleague and co-researcher. Instead of giving the reader just another collection of articles and interviews, "McLuhan : unbound" gives you offprints of the original essays. See how the two McLuhans, the literary academic and the public media expert are really one. Some of these articles were written before the subsequent book was envisioned: they are preliminary forays into new territory. Some were written after the book and encapsulate major themes; some set out additional discoveries or matters left out of the book; some present material discovered as a result of writing the book. The McLuhan "Unbound" offprints series is not the last word in presenting McLuhan´s ideas and discoveries, but the first.

It is out of this background that the great critic Theodor Adorno emerged. His finest essays are collected here, offering the reader unparalleled insights into Adorno's thoughts on culture. He argued that the culture industry commodified and standardized all art. In turn this suffocated individuality and destroyed critical thinking. At the time, Adorno was accused of everything from overreaction to deranged hysteria by his many detractors. In today's world, where even the least cynical of consumers is aware of the influence of the media, Adorno's work takes on a more immediate significance. "The culture industry" is an unrivalled indictment of the banality of mass culture.
