Résumé:
In their international best Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri presented a grand unified vision of a world in which the old forms of imperialism are no longer effective. But what of empire in an age of 'American empire'? Has fear become our permanent condition and democraty an impossible dream? Such pessimism is profoundly mistaken, Hardt and Negri argue. Empire, by colonizing and interconnecting more areas of life ever more deeply, ia actualy creating the possibility for a new kind of democraty, allowing different groups and individuals to form a multitude, with the power to forge a democratic alternative to the present world order. Exhilarating in its optimism, range, and depth of insight, Multitude consolidates Hardt and Negri's stature as two of the most exciting and important political philosophers at work in the world today.

Résumé:
Is global emancipation a lost cause? Are universal values outdated relics of an earlier age? In the postmodern world, ideologies of all kinds have been cast in doubt. In this combative new work, renowned theorist Slavoj Zizek takes on the reigning postmodern agenda with a manifesto for several "lost causes". From a provocative redemption of Heideggers engagement with the Third Reich as "a right step in the wrong direction" to reasserting class struggle as the underlying reality of global capitalism, to a defense of the emancipatory legacy of Christianity against New Age spiritualism, Zizek confronts the failures of contemporary theory and proposes unexpected resolutions.

Résumé:
The Parallax View is Slavoj Zizek's most substantial theoretical work to appear in many years; Zizek himself describes it as his magnum opus. Parallax can be defined as the apparent displacement of an object, caused by a change in observational position. Zizek is interested in the "parallax gap" separating two points between which no synthesis or mediation is possible, linked by an "impossible short circuit" of levels that can never meet. From this consideration of parallax, Zizek begins a rehabilitation of dialectical materialism.

Résumé:
In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War and at a time of great political and social instability, two of the world’s leading intellectuals, Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, were invited by Dutch philosopher Fons Elders to debate an age-old question: is there such a thing as "innate" human nature independent of our experiences and external influences? The resulting dialogue is one of the most original, provocative, and spontaneous exchanges to have occurred between contemporary philosophers, and above all serves as a concise introduction to their basic theories. What begins as a philosophical argument rooted in linguistics (Chomsky) and the theory of knowledge (Foucault), soon evolves into a broader discussion encompassing a wide range of topics, from science, history, and behaviorism to creativity, freedom, and the struggle for justice in the realm of politics. In addition to the debate itself, this volume features a newly written introduction by Foucault scholar John Rajchman and includes substantial additional texts by Chomsky and Foucault.

Résumé:
This is the devastating book which first established Marshall McLuhan’s reputation as the foremost critic of modern mass communications. The Mechanical Bride is vintage McLuhan — so aptly illustrated by dozens of examples from ads, comic strips, columnists, etc., that those who were stung by McLuhan were hard put for rebuttals. It shows how sex was first used to sell industrial hardware, how Orphan Annie still keeps the world on track, and how an Arabian Nights wonderland of mass entertainment and suggestion makes information irrelevant, and sends us to bed at night too dazed to question whether we’re happy or not. We live in an age in which legions of highly educated professionals dedicate themselves to the task of getting inside the collective public mind with the object of manipulating, exploiting and controlling.

Résumé:
Les médias constituent un système qui sert à communiquer des messages et des symboles à la population. Ils ont vocation à distraire, amuser, informer, et à inculquer aux individus les croyances et codes comportementaux qui les intégreront aux structures sociales au sens large. Dans un monde où les richesses sont fortement concentrées et où les intérêts de classe entrent en conflit, accomplir cette intégration nécessite une propagande systématique. Une modélisation de la propagande se focalise sur la prodigieuse inégalité dans la capacité de contrôle des moyens de production ; et ce qu'elle implique tant du point de vue de l'accès à un système de médias privés que de leurs choix et fonctionnements. Le modèle permet de reconstituer par quels processus le pouvoir et l'argent sélectionnent les informations.
