Résumé:
High modernism is now as far from us as antiquity was for the Renaissance. Such is the premise of Fredric Jameson’s major new work in which modernist works, this time in painting (Rubens) and music (Wagner and Mahler), are pitted against late-modernist ones (in film) as well as a variety of postmodern experiments (from SF to The Wire, from “Eurotrash” in opera to Altman(...)

Résumé:
High modernism is now as far from us as antiquity was for the Renaissance. Such is the premise of Fredric Jameson’s major new work in which modernist works, this time in painting (Rubens) and music (Wagner and Mahler), are pitted against late-modernist ones (in film) as well as a variety of postmodern experiments (from SF to The Wire, from “Eurotrash” in opera to Altman and East German literature): all of which attempt, in their different ways, to invent new forms to grasp a specific social totality. Throughout the historical periods, argues Jameson, the question of narrative persists through its multiple formal changes and metamorphoses

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 ?

This third volume in the “Essays on the Political Economy of Urban Form” series addresses contemporary power relations and their effects on urban and natural landscapes. Edited by Marc Angélil and Rainer Hehl, it explores geopolitics in the Amazon, Ecuador’s infrastructural subtraction, circulatory urbanism in Mumbai and urban development on Brazil’s frontier. It traces the economic exploitation and anthropology that drove widespread ecocide in the Amazon basin, and how accessible rail transport in India challenges artificial distinctions between urban and rural.
