In exploring the public meaning of ingeniously defended private meanings, de Certeau draws brilliantly on an immense theoretical literature in analytic philosophy, linguistics, sociology, semiology, and anthropology - to speak of an apposite use of imaginative literature.

Summary:
Pour Peter Sloterdijk, l'année 1492 sonne le début de cette «mondialisation» qui a été précédée, du point de vue scientifique, par «l'arrondissement» d'une planète que l'on croyait plate. Esprit d'entreprise et goût du risque caractérisaient ce phénomène d'abord porté par des découvreurs et des investisseurs, et qui a pris aujourd'hui une tournure essentiellement(...)

Summary:
Pour Peter Sloterdijk, l'année 1492 sonne le début de cette «mondialisation» qui a été précédée, du point de vue scientifique, par «l'arrondissement» d'une planète que l'on croyait plate. Esprit d'entreprise et goût du risque caractérisaient ce phénomène d'abord porté par des découvreurs et des investisseurs, et qui a pris aujourd'hui une tournure essentiellement économique. Dans la phase finale de la globalisation, le système mondial s'est totalement épanoui ; il donne à toutes les formes de la vie les traits du capitalisme. Peter Sloterdijk utilise le Palais de Cristal de Londres, lieu de la première exposition mondiale de 1851, comme métaphore extrêmement éloquente de cette situation : le palais symbolise le caractère inévitablement exclusif de la globalisation, la création d'une structure de confort, c'est-à-dire la construction d'un espace intérieur prenant l'aspect d'une «gelée hyperactive» qui avale les humains devenus des consommateurs, un milliard et demi de gagnants de la globalisation - ils sont trois fois plus nombreux à attendre devant la porte. «Le fait central des Temps modernes n'est pas que la Terre tourne autour du soleil, mais que l'argent court autour de la Terre.» Avec les moyens d'un grand récit d'inspiration philosophique, Peter Sloterdijk trace les contours d'une théorie du temps présent.

Summary:
Using the philosophy of Jean-Luc Nancy as an anchoring point, Jacques Derrida in this book conducts a profound review of the philosophy of the sense of touch, from Plato and Aristotle to Jean-Luc Nancy, whose ground-breaking book Corpus he discusses in detail. Emmanuel Levinas, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Edmund Husserl, Didier Franck, Martin Heidegger, Francoise Dastur, and Jean-Louis Chrétien are discussed, as are René Descartes, Diderot, Maine de Biran, Félix Ravaisson, Immanuel Kant, Sigmund Freud, and others. The scope of Derrida’s deliberations makes this book a virtual encyclopedia of the philosophy of touch (and the body). Derrida gives special consideration to the thinking of touch in Christianity and, in discussing Jean-Luc Nancy’s essay “Deconstruction of Christianity,” devotes a section of the book to the sense of touch in the Gospels. Another section concentrates on “the flesh,” as treated by Merleau-Ponty and others in his wake. Derrida’s critique of intuitionism, notably in the phenomenological tradition, is one of the guiding threads of the book.

Summary:
The Utopie group was born in 1966 at Henri Lefebvre's house in the Pyrenees. The eponymous journal edited by Hubert Tonka brought together sociologists Jean Baudrillard, René Lourau, and Catherine Cot, architects Jean Aubert, Jean-Paul Jungmann, Antoine Stinco, and landscape architect Isabelle Auricoste. Over the next decade, both in theory and in practice, the group articulated a radical ultra-leftist critique of architecture, urbanism, and everyday life. "Utopia deferred" collects all of the essays Jean Baudrillard published in Utopie as well as recent interviews with Jean Baudrillard and Hubert Tonka. Utopie served as a workshop for Baudrillard's thought. Many of the essays he first published in Utopie were seminal for some of his books: "For a critique of the political economy of the sign", "The mirror of production", "Simulations", "Symbolic exchange and death", and "In the shadow of the silent majorities". But Utopie was also a topical journal and a political one; the topics of these essays are often torn from the headlines of the tumultuous decade following the uprisings of May 1968.

Fiscal crises have cascaded across much of the developing world with devastating results, from Mexico to Indonesia, Russia and Argentina. The extreme volatility in contemporary political economic fortunes seems to mock our best efforts to understand the forces that drive development in the world economy. In this book, David Harvey shows how the disciplines of historical geography yield decisive new insights into the workings of global capitalism, and introduces the concept of uneven geographical development as a revelatory perspective on the forces which create economic success or failure.
