Summary:
Remi Hess rencontre Henri Lefebvre en 1967 à Nanterre. Depuis, il n'a cessé de lire, de commenter et de prolonger l'oeuvre de ce philosophe, sociologue, historien que fut Henri Lefebvre. Ici, R. Hess propose avec H. Lefebvre de construire une pensée du possible. Que peut-on percevoir comme possible ? L'impossible aujourd'hui ne sera-t-il pas le possible de demain ? R. Hess reprend la théorie des moments, proposée par Lefebvre, en y voyant un outil de construction de la personne. L'originalité de Henri Lefebvre et la pensée du possible est de proposer une méthode pour expliciter ses moments : l'écriture de journaux. Le journal des moments apparaît ainsi comme une technique de construction de la personne. Cet ouvrage, qui peut apparaître volumineux, est en fait un recueil de petits ouvrages à lire au bon moment. Certains sont théoriques, d'autres sont biographiques. Ce livre, de facture lefebvrienne, est le produit d'une dialectique entre le perçu, le vécu et le conçu.

Summary:
One of the most influential Marxist theorists of the twentieth century, Henri Lefebvre pioneered the study of the modern state in an age of accelerating global economic integration and fragmentation. Shortly after the 1974 publication of his landmark book The Production of Space, Henri Lefebvre embarked on one of the most ambitious projects of his career: a consideration of the history and geographies of the modern state through a monumental study that linked several disciplines, including political science, sociology, geography, and history. State, Space, World collects a series of Lefebvre’s key writings on the state from this period. Making available in English for the first time the as-yet-unexplored political aspect of Lefebvre’s work, it contains essays on philosophy, political theory, state formation, spatial planning, and globalization, as well as provocative reflections on the possibilities and limits of grassroots democracy under advanced capitalism.

Summary:
The three-volume text by Henri Lefebvre is perhaps the richest, most prescient work about modern capitalism to emerge from one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers and is now available for the first time in one complete volume. Written at the birth of post-war consumerism, Critique was an inspiration for the 1968 student revolution in France. It is a founding text of cultural studies and a major influence on the fields of contemporary philosophy, geography, sociology, architecture, political theory and urbanism. Lefebvre takes as his starting point and guide the 'trivial' details of quotidian experience: an experience colonized by the commodity, shadowed by inauthenticity, yet remaining the only source of resistance and change. This is an enduringly radical text, untimely today only in its intransigence and optimism.

A classic analysis of the modern world using Marxist dialectic, it is a book which supersedes the conventional divisions between academic disciplines. With dazzling skill, Lefebvre moves from philosophy to sociology, from literature to history, to present a profound analysis of the social, political and cultural forces at work in France and the world in the aftermath of Stalin's death—an analysis in which the contours of our own “postmodernity” appear with startling clarity.

Summary:
Manuscrit retrouvé récemment dans la bibliothèque personnelle de la résidence secondaire d'Henri Lefebvre, « Vers une architecture de la jouissance » paraît pour la première fois en français. Manuscrit retrouvé récemment dans la bibliothèque personnelle de la résidence secondaire d'Henri Lefebvre à Saragosse, Vers une architecture de la jouissance interroge les différentes formes de jouissance que l'architecture contemporaine revêt. Terme difficilement traduisible, la jouissance dont parle Henri Lefebvre dans ce texte oscille entre le plaisir, la sensualité, la volupté, le délice, le bien-être. Elle devient ici la redécouverte d'un corps architectural à la mesure de la sensualité du corps de l'homme. Mais elle est surtout le rejet de l'ascétisme au sens où Nietzsche en parle dans le Zarathoustra quand il en fait l'expédient du prêtre qui assèche la vie en refusant toute légèreté. L'ouvrage réinterroge ainsi le principe d'habitation sur lequel Henri Lefebvre à travaillé tout au long de sa carrière. Professeur de sociologie à l'Université de Nanterre de 1965 à 1973, il a marqué toute une génération de sociologues, d'architectes et d'urbanistes. « Le Droit à la ville » de 1968 et « La Production de l'espace » de 1974 sont les piliers de son questionnement sur l'habitabilité de notre espace à vivre.

Summary:
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."

Summary:
Contemporary discomfort with romanticism and Utopia arguably obstructs the shift of Lefebvre’s thinking from being objects of theoretical interest into positions of actually influencing practices. Attempting to understand and act upon architecture and the city with Lefebvre but without Utopia and romanticism risks muting the impact of his ideas. Although Utopia may seem to have no place in the present, Lefebvre reveals this as little more than a self-serving affirmation that ‘there is no alternative’ to social and political detachment. Demanding the impossible may end in failure but as Lefebvre shows us, doing so is the first step towards other possibilities. To think with Lefebvre is to think about Utopia, doing so makes contact with what is most enduring about his project for the city and its inhabitants, and with what is most radical about it as well. "Lefebvre for architects" offers a concise account of the relevance of Henri Lefebvre’s writing for the theory and practice of architecture, planning and urban design. This book is accessible for students and practitioners who wish to fully engage with the design possibilities offered by Lefebvre’s philosophy.
