Résumé:
Drawing on scenarios from around the globe and elucidating the themes that unite them, Hardt and Negri focus on the logic of institutions and the models of governance adequate to our understanding of a global commonwealth. They argue for the idea of the “common” to replace the opposition of private and public and the politics predicated on that opposition. Ultimately, they articulate the theoretical bases for what they call “governing the revolution.” Though this book functions as an extension and a completion of a sustained line of Hardt and Negri’s thought, it also stands alone and is entirely accessible to readers who are not familiar with the previous works. It is certain to appeal to, challenge, and enrich the thinking of anyone interested in questions of politics and globalization.

Résumé:
Like a time capsule, The German Issue brings together all the major "issues" that were being debated on both sides of the Atlantic—which eventually found their abrupt resolution in 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. It involved the most important voices of the period—from writers and filmmakers to anthropologists, activists and poets, terrorists and philosophers: Joseph Beuys, Michel Foucault, Christo, Christa Wolf, Walter Abish, Alexander Kluge, Paul Virilio, Ulrilke Meinhof, William Burroughs, Jean Baudrillard, Hans Magnus Enzenberger, Maurice Blanchot, Hans Jürgen Syberberg, Heidegger, André Gorz, Helke Sander. Opening with Christo's "Wrapping Up of Germany" and the celebrated dialogue between East German dramaturge Heiner Müller and Sylvère Lotringer on the Wall ("Mauer"), since published in many languages, The German Issue offers a first-hand account of the Western world on the threshold of a major global mutation. It also embodies at its best Semiotext(e)'s tenacious effort to establish a creative bridge between art and intellect, culture and politics, Europe and America.

Three conceptual figures organize Agamben's argument and the advent of his new method: the paradigm, the signature, and archaeology. Each chapter is devoted to an investigation of one of these concepts and Agamben carefully constructs its genealogy transhistorically and from an interdisciplinary perspective. And at each moment of the text, Agamben pays tribute to Michel Foucault, whose methods he rethinks and effectively uses to reformulate the logic of the concepts he isolates.

Résumé:
En 1996, cet essai prenait pour sous-titre En attendant 2002. Voici que la première décennie du XXIe siècle s'écoule sans que les questions soulevées par notre besoin d'utopie aient perdu de leur actualité ; sans que l'exigence d'un changement de société, de système, ait perdu de son urgence. Plus que jamais, au contraire, pour sortir de la crise, de l'impasse, tant économique que sociale, qu'écologique, que spirituelle, l'esprit d'utopie nous est nécessaire. Il ne s'agit pas d'entendre, par là, la conception abstraite d'une société idéale rêvée, mais, à la manière d'Ernst Bloch, la plus précise, la plus sincère attention au réel, ou, dans le langage de Charles Fourier, aux passions incoercibles. L'utopie d'aujourd'hui est, à la fois, rationnelle et passionnelle. Surtout, elle n'occupe plus une île, elle n'a pas qu'un seul modèle, elle est multiple ; et les utopies qui se proposent dans tous les domaines de la vie, sont dispersées, «nomades». En leur centre toutefois, une préoccupation majeure est celle de l'habitation enfin humaine de la planète, grâce à une hospitalité universelle permettant à chacun, en tout point de la Terre, de se sentir chez soi.

What is the contemporary legacy of Gramsci's notion of Hegemony? How can universality be reformulated now that its spurious versions have been so thoroughly criticized? In this ground-breaking project, Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau and Slavoj Zizek engage in a dialogue on central questions of contemporary philosophy and politics. Their essays range over the Hegelian legacy in contemporary critical theory, the theoretical dilemmas of multiculturalism, the universalism- versus-particularism debate, the strategies of the Left in a globalized economy, and the relative merits of post-structumalism and Lacanian psychoanalysis for a critical social theory.
