Summary:
"The signature of all things" is Giorgio Agamben’s sustained reflection on method. To reflect on method implies for Agamben an archeological vigilance: a persistent form of thinking whose path is to expose, examine, and elaborate that which remains obscure, unthematized, even unsaid, in an author’s thought. To be archeologically vigilant, then, is to return to, even(...)

Summary:
"The signature of all things" is Giorgio Agamben’s sustained reflection on method. To reflect on method implies for Agamben an archeological vigilance: a persistent form of thinking whose path is to expose, examine, and elaborate that which remains obscure, unthematized, even unsaid, in an author’s thought. To be archeologically vigilant, then, is to return to, even invent, a method attuned to a "world supported by a thick plot of resemblances and sympathies, analogies and correspondences." The range of authors and of topics Agamben collects in this slim but dense volume exemplifies this search to create a science of signatures that exceeds either a semiology or hermeneutics vainly attempting to determine the pure and unmarked signs that signify univocally, neutrally, and eternally.

Summary:
In "Black elegies", Kimberly Juanita Brown examines the form of the elegy and its unique capacity to convey the elongated grief borne of sustained racial violence. Structured around the sensorial, the book moves through sight, sound, and touch to reveal what Okwui Enwezor calls the "national emergency of black grief."

Summary:
In "Black elegies", Kimberly Juanita Brown examines the form of the elegy and its unique capacity to convey the elongated grief borne of sustained racial violence. Structured around the sensorial, the book moves through sight, sound, and touch to reveal what Okwui Enwezor calls the "national emergency of black grief." With her characteristic literary skill, Brown analyzes the work of major figures including Toni Morrison, Carrie Mae Weems, Audre Lorde, and Marvin Gaye, among others. Brown contemplates recognizable sites of mourning: forced migration and enslavement, bodily violations, imprisonment and death. And she examines sites that do not register immediately as archives of grief: the landscape of southern U.S. slave plantations, a spontaneous street party, a quilt constructed out of the clothing worn by a loved one, a dance performance to hold the memory of history, and an aeolian harp installed at an institute of European art, among others. In this, the book offers a framework of mourning while black, within the parameters of contemporary artistic production.

Pourquoi faisons-nous les mêmes gestes, déformons-nous nos visages de la même façon, laissons-nous des larmes couler sur nos joues quand nous venons de perdre un proche ?

Les émotions ne nous appartiennent-elles qu’à nous ou sont-elles la part « primitive » de l’Homme ? A l’aide de photos prises par Charles Darwin, l’auteur nous aide à penser. Les émotions ne nous figent pas. Elles peuvent être un moteur. Ces femmes dans le Cuirassé Potemkine pleurent un matelot assassiné... Mais dans un même mouvement, elles se mettent à serrer les poings. Le « peuple en larmes » devient le « peuple en armes ». Les émotions peuvent nous guider. Autant, voire plus, que la raison. Gilles Deleuze affirme « l’émotion ne dit pas je ». Georges Didi-Huberman nous permet de comprendre en quoi elle est un message, un mouvement hors de soi, une façon d’aller vers l’autre, de s’exposer.

Summary:
"The racial cage" delivers a spirited and polyvocal analysis of how race is materialized through both metaphorical and literal cages. It theorizes the cage, fence, dragnet, and tube as material–semiotic sites for racialization and for iteratively redefining the human–animal boundary.

It theorizes the cage, fence, dragnet, and tube as material–semiotic sites for racialization and for iteratively redefining the human–animal boundary. A collaborative conversation across continents, this work examines the racial cage as an important part of the practice of social division and bodily containment. The deeply considered result is an empirical and theoretical approach to biohumanities that productively interrogates its linkages to critical theories of race and racism.

"Coralations" is a philosophical exploration of the media that come into focus when we shift our attention from the highly recognizable coral of the tropics. Focusing on soft corals and deep-water corals leads to different narratives about climate change and involves different analogies to media.

Focusing on soft corals and deep-water corals leads to different narratives about climate change and involves different analogies to media. Through thought-provoking analyses of photography, science fiction, visual art, and scientific images, Melody Jue renews our curiosity and broadens our understanding of corals beyond the dominant narratives about their endangerment. "Coralations" shows how paying attention to particular corals can change what we take for granted.

Cependant, depuis 2001, cette dimension géographique des conflits a radicalement changé de nature, au point que la concentration metropolitique l'emporte désormais sur l'antique géopolitique des nations. Après Hiroshima, l'attentat massif contre New York a en effet inauguré l'ère du " déséquilibre de la terreur " en ruinant l'importance stratégique, non seulement du nombre d'adversaires en présence, mais également de toute étendue. Centralisant ainsi l'effroi sur la seule concentration verticale des métropoles, le caractère suicidaire de l'action engagée a ruiné avec la forme militaire de la guerre, la forme politique de la Cité.

Does the concept of hegemony imply a new logic that goes beyond the essentialism of classical Marxist thought? These are some of the questions that this now seminal book attempts to answer. It traces the genealogy of the present crisis, from the nineteenth-century debates to the contemporary emergence of new forms of struggle, making it a classic text both for understanding hegemony and for focusing on present social struggles and their significance for democratic theory.
