Summary:
L'opinion intellectuelle dit que nous en avons fini avec les Grands récits et avec le modernisme artistique. Il n'est pas sûr pourtant que nous avons commencé à penser ce que recouvrent ces termes.

L'opinion intellectuelle dit que nous en avons fini avec les Grands récits et avec le modernisme artistique. Il n'est pas sûr pourtant que nous avons commencé à penser ce que recouvrent ces termes. Pour comprendre ce qui se joue dans les mouvements d'émancipation et dans les bouleversements des arts qui les accompagnent, il faut prendre en compte la double dimension du temps. Derrière l'image simple de la ligne tendue entre le passé et l'avenir qui porte promesses et désillusions. Il y a la hiérarchie des formes de vie séparant ceux qui ont le temps de ceux qui ne l'ont pas. Jacques Rancière montre comment la lutte contre ce partage des temps est au coeur des révolutions politiques et artistiques modernes et complexifie la trop simple apparence de la rupture entre l'ancien et le nouveau. Un philosophe transcendantaliste, deux ouvriers du bâtiment, trois cinéastes et quelques danseuses l'aident à en construire la scène.

Rhythmanalysis displays all the characteristics which made Lefebvre one of the most important Marxist thinkers of the twentieth century. In the analysis of rhythms -- both biological and social -- Lefebvre shows the interrelation of space and time in the understanding of everyday life.With dazzling skills, Lefebvre moves between discussions of music, the commodity, measurement, the media and the city. In doing so he shows how a non-linear conception of time and history balanced his famous rethinking of the question of space. This volume also includes his earlier essays on "The Rhythmanalysis Project" and "Attempt at the Rhythmanalysis of Mediterranean Towns."

In attempting to answer the question posed by this book's title, Giorgio Agamben does not address the idea of philosophy itself. Rather, he turns to the apparently most insignificant of its components: the phonemes, letters, syllables, and words that come together to make up the phrases and ideas of philosophical discourse. A summa, of sorts, of Agamben's thought, the(...)

Rather, he turns to the apparently most insignificant of its components: the phonemes, letters, syllables, and words that come together to make up the phrases and ideas of philosophical discourse. A summa, of sorts, of Agamben's thought, the book consists of five essays on five emblematic topics: the Voice, the Sayable, the Demand, the Proem, and the Muse. In keeping with the author's trademark methodology, each essay weaves together archaeological and theoretical investigations: to a patient reconstruction of how the concept of language was invented there corresponds an attempt to restore thought to its place within the voice; to an unusual interpretation of the Platonic Idea corresponds a lucid analysis of the relationship between philosophy and science, and of the crisis that both are undergoing today.

L'ambivalence de ce désir reste à étudier, comme ce que signifie aujourd'hui le fait de ne pas bouger. La privation de mouvement est une peine ; le droit pénal, les disciplines scolaires ou militaires immobilisent ; les accidents et les maladies paralysent ; l'accélération technique se paye en inertie dans les embouteillages ou les bureaux. Les éloges de la mobilité comme la critique de l'accélération sont passés à côté de ces situations où l'immobilité s'impose, non sans violence. Il faut redonner son sens à l'immobilisation. Car cette peine est aussi une étape, une station, impliquant le corps et la pensée. Tenir, debout, assis, dans la position du lotus ou même couché, c'est exercer sur soi une contrainte signifiante. Les "mouvements" d'occupation des places nous le rappellent, l'art également.

Honoré de Balzac's "Treatise on Modern Stimulants" is a meditation on five stimulants—tea, sugar, coffee, alcohol and tobacco—by an author very conscious of the fact that his gargantuan output of work was driven by an excessive intake (his bouts of writing typically required 10 to 15 cups of coffee a day) that would ultimately shorten his life.

First published in French in 1839 as an appendix to Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's "Physiology of Taste", this Treatise was at once Balzac's effort at addressing what he perceived to be an oversight in that cornerstone of gastronomic literature; a chapter toward his never-completed body of analytic studies (alongside such essays as "Treatise on Elegant Living") that were to form an overarching "pathology of social life"; and a meditation on the impact of pleasure and excess on the body and the role they play in shaping society.
