Résumé:
Un philosophe spécialiste de Bergson et d’Einstein, passionné d’art contemporain (Elie During), un artiste issu du design automobile, connu pour ses projets mêlant fiction, utopie et fiction d’utopie (Alain Bublex), se rencontrent autour d’un problème commun : celui de notre rapport au futur. Mais une fois dit que le futur n’existe que sur le mode de la prévision, de la projection ou du fantasme, comment faire autrement que parler du présent – par exemple de notre incapacité présente à désirer le futur ? Ce thème de la « nostalgie du futur » a été développé par des penseurs comme Jameson sur les ruines des grands récits et des utopies du siècle, dont témoignent à leur manière les grandes expositions universelles. Il nourrit aujourd’hui des discours ambivalents sur la « rétro-manie » ou le « rétrofuturisme », un courant qui traverse toute la culture contemporaine, de la science-fiction à la musique pop en passant par l’architecture, la mode ou le design. Les auteurs de ce livre proposent du phénomène rétrofuturiste une lecture différente, en partant d’une intuition simple : le futur n’existe qu’à travers les innombrables futurs portés par les époques révolues, et notamment par notre modernité proche, qui a peut-être tenté avec plus d’intensité qu’aucune autre de prendre son avenir en main. L’histoire est décidément bien plus peuplée qu’on ne l’imagine. Les futurs du passé, non réalisés, insistent au coeur de notre temps, dessinant par leurs lignes de futurition active une multitude d’histoires parallèles. Ces futurs existent-ils moins que les autres ? Pourquoi ne pas leur conférer une dignité ontologique égale à celle des futurs du présent ? Ce serait l’occasion d’en parler, pour une fois, sans ironie ni nostalgie, du point de vue des ressources qu’ils offrent au projet artistique, mais aussi à la création philosophique.

Résumé:
What does feminism have to say to the Anthropocene? How does the concept of the Anthropocene impact feminism? This book is a daring and provocative response to the masculinist and techno-normative approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists, artists, humanists, and social scientists. By coining and, for the first time, fully exploring the concept of “anthropocene feminism,” it highlights the alternatives feminism and queer theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene. Feminist theory has long been concerned with the anthropogenic impact of humans, particularly men, on nature. Consequently, the contributors to this volume explore not only what current interest in the Anthropocene might mean for feminism but also what it is that feminist theory can contribute to technoscientific understandings of the Anthropocene. With essays from prominent environmental and feminist scholars on topics ranging from Hawaiian poetry to Foucault to shelled creatures to hypomodernity to posthuman feminism, this book highlights both why we need an anthropocene feminism and why thinking about the Anthropocene must come from feminism.

Here, Abensour’s project is to examine the idea of utopia in two different but powerful moments in its trajectory: first, utopia’s beginning, when Thomas More sought a path for justice through a world in transformation, and second, when utopia faced its greatest danger, the moment that Walter Benjamin called “catastrophe.”

Résumé:
The modern world is dominated by flat surfaces. We write, print and project on flat paper or flat screens, which we stare at all day. We inhabit spaces constructed from flat materials. We play sport on level fields. Engineered planar surfaces have become so pervasive and fundamental to behaviour and thought that we barely notice their existence. But flat landscapes are also often disparaged, viewed as featureless, empty and monotonous. Metaphorically, to ‘feel flat’ is to be bored, dull, lacking energy or inspiration. So what is it about flatness that makes it so desirable and practical in everyday life, yet so unattractive in landscape and as an idea? How has the construction of flat surfaces contributed to a degradation of visual diversity? "Flatness" attacks these questions by looking first at the ways humans have perceived the natural world around them, from Flat Earth theories to abstract geometric concepts and the Flatness Problem in modern cosmology. It also traces the long historical trajectory of flatness as an engineering ideal, and the representation of the concept in art, music and literature.

Résumé:
Byung-Chul Han is one of the most widely read philosophers in Europe today, a member of the new generation of German thinkers that includes Markus Gabriel and Armen Avanessian. In "The agony of Eros", a bestseller in Germany, Han considers the threat to love and desire in today’s society. For Han, love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other. In a world of fetishized individualism and technologically mediated social interaction, it is the Other that is eradicated, not the self. In today’s increasingly narcissistic society, we have come to look for love and desire within the “inferno of the same.” Han offers a survey of the threats to Eros, drawing on a wide range of sources—Lars von Trier’s film Melancholia, Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, Fifty Shades of Grey, Michel Foucault (providing a scathing critique of Foucault’s valorization of power), Martin Buber, Hegel, Baudrillard, Flaubert, Barthes, Plato, and others. Han considers the “pornographication” of society, and shows how pornography profanes eros; addresses capitalism’s leveling of essential differences; and discusses the politics of eros in today’s “burnout society.” To be dead to love, Han argues, is to be dead to thought itself.

Say the word "work," and most people think of some form of gainful employment. Yet this limited definition has never corresponded to the historical experience of most people—whether in colonies, developing countries, or the industrialized world. That gap between common assumptions and reality grows even more pronounced in the case of women and other groups excluded from the labour market. In this important intervention, Andrea Komlosy demonstrates that popular understandings of work have varied radically in different ages and countries. Looking at labour history around the globe from the 13th to the 21st centuries, Komlosy sheds light on both discursive concepts as well as the concrete coexistence of multiple forms of labour—paid and unpaid, free and unfree. Komlosy’s narrative adopts a distinctly global and feminist approach, revealing the hidden forms of unpaid and hyper-exploited labour which often go ignored, yet are key to the functioning of the capitalist world-system.
