Résumé:
What do struggles over pipelines in Canada, housing estates in France, and shantytowns in Martinique have in common? In "Urban revolutions," Stefan Kipfer shows how these struggles force us to understand the (neo-)colonial aspects of capitalist urbanization in a comparatively and historically nuanced fashion. In so doing, he demonstrates that urban research can offer a rich, if uneven, terrain upon which to develop the relationship between Marxist and anti-colonial intellectual traditions. After a detailed dialogue between Henri Lefebvre and Frantz Fanon, Kipfer engages creole literature in the French Antilles, Indigenous radicalism in North America and political anti-racism in mainland France.

Résumé:
23 mai 1871. Tandis que les derniers communards sont repoussés vers l'est de Paris par les troupes versaillaises, le palais des Tuileries est livré aux flammes. Douze ans plus tard, ses ruines sont totalement démolies. Qui se souvient encore de cet édifice exceptionnel où se joua le destin de la France ? Construit à partir de 1564 à l'initiative de Catherine de Médicis, le château des Tuileries constitua d'abord un authentique chef-d'oeuvre architectural, dont le destin fut étroitement lié à celui du palais du Louvre, auquel il finit par être entièrement relié sous le Second Empire. Son magnifique jardin à la française - conçu par André Le Nôtre en 1665 - reste à ce jour la promenade la plus célèbre de la capitale. Résidence officielle de tous les souverains à partir de 1789 et centre du pouvoir, le château devint le théâtre de nombreux événements historiques, de la chute de la monarchie en 1792 à celle de l'Empire en 1870 en passant par la fuite de Louis XVI à Varennes, le divorce de Napoléon 1er et Joséphine, la mort de Louis XVIII, l'abdication de Charles X, la chute de Louis-Philippe et le mariage de Napoléon III.

Résumé:
The French rust belt, the area that runs from Firminy through Saint-Etienne all the way to Lyon, was regarded for a long time as a thriving region. The industrial revolution in France began in the valleys between the Loire and Rhône rivers. This led to a process of exploitation and deformation of the landscape, signs of which are still visible today. For more than forty years, the region, like other former industrial sites, has suffered from unemployment and a population exodus. Looking at the long-term photographic study by Nicolas Giraud and Bertrand Stofleth, it is evident that this is now the reality wherever neoliberalism has cut its swathe through industrial communities. Once industry has retreated, the landscapes that are left behind all look fairly similar. In visual terms, there is no great difference between Saint-Etienne and Suhl in Thuringia, for example. In ''La Vallée'', Giraud and Stofleth’s photographs enter into a dialogue with texts by authors from a variety of disciplines.

Résumé:
During the 18th century a remarkable group of women formed the Bluestocking Salon, where women and men met to debate contemporary ideas and promote the life of the mind. Together, these cultural innovators helped forge new roles for women as influential thinkers, writers, and artists, and their creative achievements were publicly celebrated. Richly illustrated with portraits, prints, and personal artifacts, "Brilliant women" tells the story of this fascinating group of women. The authors chart the changing fortunes of the female intellectual and explore how a number of bluestocking women, such as artist Angelica Kauffmann, historian Catharine Macaulay, and early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, used portraiture to advance their work and their reputations in a period framed by the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. "Brilliant women" pays tribute to the friendships and achievements of these bluestocking women, presenting new information on the range of cultural activities in which they were engaged, as well as celebrating their legacy.

Résumé:
Since the middle of the eighteenth century, political thinkers of all kinds--radical and reactionary, professional and amateur--have been complaining about “bureaucracy.” But what, exactly, are they complaining about? In The Demon of Writing, Ben Kafka offers a critical history and theory of one of the most ubiquitous, least understood forms of media: paperwork. States rely on records to tax and spend, protect and serve, discipline and punish. But time and again, this paperwork proves to be unreliable. Examining episodes that range from the story of a clerk who lost his job and then his mind in the French Revolution to an account of Roland Barthes’s brief stint as a university administrator, Kafka reveals the powers, the failures, and even the pleasures of paperwork. Many of its complexities, he argues, have been obscured by the comic-paranoid style that characterizes much of our criticism of bureaucracy. Kafka proposes a new theory of what Karl Marx called the “bureaucratic medium.”

Résumé:
In ''The Terrible Children of Modernity'', Sloterdijk offers a magisterial and profound investigation into the vicissitudes of historical change and the nature of modernity. For Sloterdijk, modernity is defined by its need to break with the past. Moderns are perpetual rebels who seek to sever the ties of tradition and forms of inheritance that bind generations and eras together. With deep philosophical, historical, and literary range, he traces this antigenealogical experiment from the French Revolution onward, from Madame de Pompadour and Napoleon through Nietzsche, Marx, Wagner, the Dadaists, and Deleuze. Acutely aware of the destructive potential of cultural discontinuities, Sloterdijk is no less critical of the “fathers” who condemn change than the “terrible children” who seek a drastic rupture with their predecessors. Equally concerned with the grand sweep of history and our current predicaments, he instead calls for new ways to live together in the intersubjectivity of the human condition. Incisive and daring, breathtaking in its scope, this account of youthful rebellion against tradition asks us to reimagine the ethics of genealogy.
