Résumé:
Cet ouvrage propose une thèse novatrice. Le commun n’est pas un simple tiers intrus entre public et privé, ni un pur principe politique. Il doit être pensé comme un véritable « mode de production » susceptible de constituer une alternative à l’hégémonie de la logique de l’État comme à celle de l’économie capitaliste de marché. En mobilisant l’économie politique, le droit, l’histoire, la sociologie, la philosophie, les sciences de l’information et de la communication, les auteurs montrent que le commun contient ces potentialités, sans manquer d’analyser les faiblesses et les contradictions auxquelles se heurte son développement, jusque dans la nouvelle économie du net où, face au pouvoir des plateformes, s’amorce la possibilité d’un renversement de perspective.

En France, le mouvement n'a pas la même ampleur mais l'essor du e-commerce concurrence les ventes « physiques » et contribue à faire progresser la vacance commerciale en centre-ville et dans certaines galeries marchandes.

Résumé:
Retail apocalypse. Cette expression désigne la vague de fermetures d'un grand nombre de magasins aux États-Unis depuis une dizaine d'années. En France, le mouvement n'a pas la même ampleur mais l'essor du e-commerce concurrence les ventes « physiques » et contribue à faire progresser la vacance commerciale en centre-ville et dans certaines galeries marchandes. Pour autant, l'avenir des marchés, des boutiques, des centres commerciaux, des friperies, des brocantes, des grands magasins ou des librairies n'est pas scellé. Á travers une vingtaine de chapitres exposant les résultats d'enquêtes sociologiques, cet ouvrage propose une contribution originale au débat en mettant en évidence les fonctions symboliques et l'utilité sociale du magasin.

Résumé:
In this book, historian Lorraine Daston traces the development of rules in the Western tradition and shows how they have evolved from ancient to modern times. Drawing on a rich trove of examples, including legal treatises, cookbooks, military manuals, traffic regulations, and game handbooks, Daston demonstrates that while the content of rules is dazzlingly diverse, the forms that they take are surprisingly few and long-lived. Rules have been devised for almost every imaginable activity and range from meticulous regulations to the laws of nature. Daston probes beneath this variety to investigate when rules work and when they don’t, and why some philosophical problems about rules are as ancient as philosophy itself while others are as modern as calculating machines.

Résumé:
This book tells a new story about the cultural imagination of the West wherein cheerfulness — a momentary uptick in emotional energy, a temporary lightening of spirit — functions as a crucial theme in literary, philosophical, and artistic creations from early modern to contemporary times. In dazzling interpretations of Shakespeare and Montaigne, Hume, Austen and Emerson, Dickens, Nietzsche, and Louis Armstrong, Hampton explores the philosophical construal of cheerfulness — as a theme in Protestant theology, a focus of medical writing, a topic in Enlightenment psychology, and a category of modern aesthetics. In a conclusion on cheerfulness in pandemic days, Hampton stresses the importance of lightness of mind under the pressure of catastrophe.

Résumé:
This book takes an in-depth look at the social lives of five objects commonly found in the public spaces of New York City and its suburbs, revealing how our interactions with such material things are our primary point of contact with the social, political, and economic forces that shape city life. Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork and a wealth of original interviews, Mike Owen Benediktsson shows how we are in the midst of things whose profound social role often goes overlooked. This publication demonstrates how the material realm is one of immediacy, control, inequality, and unpredictability, and how these factors frustrate the ability of designers, planners, and regulators to shape human behavior.

Preciado, Charles Baudelaire, and above all Walter Benjamin. Written in a style that borrows not from classical forms of theory or prose, but operates in between fiction and nonfiction to investigate the very concept of the contemporary, this book uses a quite old but often renewed method—in this sense a very contemporary one—consisting of starting from one’s own personal situation.

Résumé:
The success of "social distancing" as a strategy against the COVID-19 pandemic resonates acutely with neoliberalism’s destruction of the very notion of society itself. This was most famously expressed by Margaret Thatcher’s dictum "there is no society," which supplies the title of this anthology—with a question mark added. How can we deal with the paradoxical mix of solitude and common experience that the pandemic entails? How can culture and critical discourse even continue when public space has been shut down upon the advice of epidemiologists? Such are the questions tackled by the authors of this anthology—some of today’s leading theorists of capitalist affect and experience.
