Résumé:
Seuil Paru le : 08/10/2007 . Nous demandons à la pensée qu'elle dissipe les brouillards et les obscurités, qu'elle mette de l'ordre et de la clarté dans le réel, qu'elle révèle les lois qui le gouvernent. Le mot de complexité, lui, ne peut qu'exprimer notre embarras, notre confusion, notre incapacité à définir de façon simple, à nommer de façon claire, à ordonner nos idées. Sa définition première ne peut fournir aucune élucidation : est complexe ce qui ne peut se résumer en un maître mot, ce qui ne peut se ramener à une loi ni se réduire à une idée simple. La complexité est un mot problème et non un mot solution. Edgar Morin propose ici une pensée qui relève les défis de la complexité afin de mieux comprendre nos personnes, notre humanité, notre monde.

Résumé:
In this daring essay inspired by Nietzsche, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari redefine the relation between the state and its war machine. Far from being a part of the state, warriers (the army) are nomads who always come from the outside and keep threatening the authority of the state. Theorizing a dynamic relationship between sedentary power and "schizophrenic lines of flight," this volume is meant to be read in transit, smuggled into urban nightclubs, offices, and subways. Deleuze and Guattari propose a creative and resistant ethics of becoming-imperceptible, strategizing a continuous invention of weapons on the run.

Résumé:
« Depuis plusieurs années, l’extérieur l’emporte partout sur l’intérieur et l’histoire géophysique se retourne tel un gant », constatait Paul Virilio en 2009. La situation n’offre aucune prise, la « fin de l’Histoire » masque avant tout une fin de la géographie et de son continuum. L’immédiateté exclut l’étendue. Monde fini, fin de la géographie... mais comment donc reconfigurer l’espace pour calmer les flux ? La passion contemporaine pour l’édification de murs témoigne de cette ambivalence jouant simultanément sur la fermeture et l’ouverture, entre un pouvoir de plus en plus virtuel et de grossières barrières physiques, barricades ou corridors. À l’heure du « village planétaire », pensez donc ! Mais le village n’a-t-il pas toujours été dominé par l’isolement et la surveillance ?

Résumé:
The zany, the cute, and the interesting saturate postmodern culture. They dominate the look of its art and commodities as well as our discourse about the ambivalent feelings these objects often inspire. In this radiant study, Sianne Ngai offers a theory of the aesthetic categories that most people use to process the hypercommodified, mass-mediated, performance-driven world of late capitalism, treating them with the same seriousness philosophers have reserved for analysis of the beautiful and the sublime.
