Résumé:
La liberté de l'esprit succède à La crise de l'esprit qui constatait la faillite de l'Europe après la grande guerre. Vingt plus tard, posant un regard lucide sur les mutations qui secouent son époque, Valéry dissèque le monde actuel, relevant, non sans pessimisme, les accrocs de la modernité à la dignité de l'esprit. La critique qu'adresse le poète à la modernité et à ce qui la constitue essentiellement : une modification du rapport au temps, une baisse de la valeur de l'Esprit et un assujettissement de l'homme à l'argent. Les essais ici publiés sont éloquents à cet égard. Pour Valéry, c'est la fin du temps libre, ce temps où l'esprit se consacre à son propre développement par la fréquentation de l'art, de la philosophie, de la littérature.

Résumé:
Questions d'échelle « Sans aucun doute les philosophes ont raison de nous dire que rien n'est grand ni petit sauf par comparaison. » Cette phrase, que Swift fait prononcer à Gulliver, est sans conteste le noyau invisible autour duquel est construit cet ouvrage. Cette anthologie présente un corpus de textes variés qui examine les aspects pluriels des questions d'échelle. Plus de cent auteurs (philosophes, écrivains, plasticiens, metteurs en scène, anthropologues, photographes, architectes, maquettistes, etc.) sont ainsi convoqués pour s'exprimer sur la réduction, comme objet et comme symbole, sur la miniature comme jouet ou comme dispositif cognitif, sur le modèle réduit et la maquette, sur la relativité des ordres de grandeur.S'il est bien un dénominateur commun à tous ces textes, quel que soit leur registre, leur ambition, leur provenance, c'est le fait qu'en traitant des questions d'échelle, leurs auteurs interrogent immanquablement la condition humaine, prise entre l'infiniment grand et l'infiniment petit, pour paraphraser Pascal ou Voltaire, et questionnent ainsi notre manière d'être au monde et de l'habiter.

Résumé:
An argument for "the contemporary contemporary" as the point of departure for any anachronic relationship with time today. Taking its point of departure in an "anachronic" exhibition, Soulèvements (2016-18), this book is a theoretical exploration of how the notion of contemporaneity--understood as the coming together of different times in the same historical present--relates to the end of a certain history of art. Critical of hitherto dominant chronological, ahistorical, and/or culturally restricted notions of the contemporary, Lund's overall aim is to make an argument for "the contemporary contemporary" as the point of departure for any anachronic relationship with time today, and as the inescapable point of departure for any possible historical imagination.

Résumé:
In ''Of other spaces'' Foucault coined the term ''heterotopias'' to signify ''all the other real sites that can be found within the culture'' which ''are simultaneously represented, contested, and inverted.'' For Foucault, heterotopic spaces were first of all spaces of crisis, or transformative spaces, however these have given way to heterotopias of deviation and spaces of discipline, such as psychiatric hospitals or prisons. Foucault's essay provokes us to think through how spaces of crisis and critique function to open up disruptive, subversive or minoritarian fields within philosophical, political, cultural or aesthetic discourses. This book takes this interdisciplinary and international approach to the spatial, challenging existing borders, boundaries, and horizons; from Claire Colebrook's chapter unpacking the heterotopic spaces of America and Mexico that lie beyond reductive ideological spaces of light and darkness, to a Foucauldian reading of the Zapatista resistance. With essays on politics, philosophy, literature, post-colonial studies, and aesthetics from established and emerging academics, this book answers Foucault's call to give us a better understanding of our present cultural epoch.

Résumé:
Drawing on rich historical research, Silvia Federici maps the connections between the previous forms of enclosure that occurred with the birth of capitalism and the destruction of the commons and the "new enclosures" at the heart of the present phase of global capitalist accumulation. Considering the commons from a feminist perspective, this collection centers on women and reproductive work as crucial to both our economic survival and the construction of a world free from the hierarchies and divisions capital has planted in the body of the world proletariat. Federici is clear that the commons should not be understood as happy islands in a sea of exploitative relations but rather autonomous spaces from which to challenge the existing capitalist organization of life and labor.

Résumé:
In the twenty-first century, new technologies should liberate us from work. Automation, rather than undermining an economy built on full employment, is instead the path to a world of liberty, luxury and happiness—for everyone. Technological advance will reduce the value of commodities—food, healthcare and housing—towards zero. Improvements in renewable energies will make fossil fuels a thing of the past. Asteroids will be mined for essential minerals. Genetic editing and synthetic biology will prolong life, virtually eliminate disease and provide meat without animals. New horizons beckon. In Fully Automated Luxury Communism, Aaron Bastani conjures a vision of extraordinary hope, showing how we move to energy abundance, feed a world of 9 billion, overcome work, transcend the limits of biology, and establish meaningful freedom for everyone. Rather than a final destination, such a society merely heralds the real beginning of history.

Résumé:
In Recollections of My Nonexistence, Rebecca Solnit describes her formation as a writer and as a feminist in 1980s San Francisco, in an atmosphere of gender violence on the street and throughout society and the exclusion of women from cultural arenas. She tells of being poor, hopeful, and adrift in the city that became her great teacher, and of the small apartment that, when she was nineteen, became the home in which she transformed herself. She explores the forces that liberated her as a person and as a writer–books themselves; the gay community that presented a new model of what else gender, family, and joy could mean; and her eventual arrival in the spacious landscapes and overlooked conflicts of the American West.
