Arguing about justice. Essays for Philippe Van Parijs
"A book of quick and sharp thoughts on a grand theme is a novel way of paying tribute to a leading philosopher. But it has worked beautifully here, both as a stimulating book of ideas on justice, and as a fitting recognition of the intellectual contributions of Philippe Van Parijs, who is one of the most original and most creative thinkers of our time". Amartya Sen, Harvard University, 1998 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences This book brings together fifty of today's finest thinkers. They were asked to let their imaginations run free to advance new ideas on a wide range of social and political issues. They did so as friends, on the occasion of Philippe Van Parijs's sixtieth birthday. Rather than restricting themselves to comments on his numerous writings, the authors engage with the topics on which he has focused his attention over the years, especially with the various dimensions of justice, its scope, and its demands. They discuss issues ranging from the fair distribution of marriage opportunities to the limits of argumentation in a democracy, the deep roots of inequality, the challenges to basic income and the requirements of linguistic justice. They provide ample food for thought for both academic and general readers.

Embracing Democracy
Hermann Broch wrote two of the most significant novels of German modernism, The Sleepwalkers and The Death of Virgil, which established his importance to German literature. His writings on democracy, mass delusion and internationalism are more obscure. Embracing Democracy examines the central political, social and psychological tenets of Broch's concept of "total democracy" as an expression of the synthesis of his European intellectual development – his Viennese Bildung – and his new position as an exile from fascism. This book chronicles Broch's experiences from the founding of the Austrian First Republic to his exile in the United States (1918 to 1951). The author traces two seemingly contradictory narratives in Broch's political consciousness. On the one hand, Broch held an intellectual position in his post-exile political theory that was consistent with the philosophy of history, psychology and epistemology of his Viennese milieu. On the other hand, he significantly reconceived the utility of politics for his theory of value construction, while also becoming more involved in political activism. This book provides new perspectives on the work of Hermann Broch beyond his literary oeuvre and offers insights into the development of political theory among exiled European intellectuals in the United States.

Géopolitique de la mode. Vers de nouveaux modèles ?
Depuis très longtemps la mode passe les frontières au gré des marchands et des explorateurs qui rapportent tissus, techniques de tissage, teintures, etc. Mais c'est au XXe siècle que la géographie de la mode se concentre, autour de Paris d'abord, puis de Milan, Londres et New York qui se livrent une concurrence acharnée révélatrice du rôle majeur que joue la mode dans le rayonnement de ces pays. Avec l'apparition de la fast fashion au tournant du XXIe siècle de nouveaux leaders suédois et espagnol viennent rebattre les cartes en imposant à l'ensemble du monde une nouvelle manière de produire et de consommer. Dans le même temps, de nouveaux clients russes, chinois, émiratis apparaissent, dont les goûts et la culture influent sur les créations. Des quatre capitales " historiques " du XXe siècle, la mode a essaimé sur de nouveaux territoires et les rapports de forces se complexifient. Sophie Kurkdjian analyse cette évolution et détaille les enjeux actuels et futurs d'une mode devenue phénomène global et qui, au-delà de l'innovation, privilégie désormais des conditions de production éthiques sur le plan social et environnemental.

Otis Redding
Né en 1941 en Géorgie, sur la plantation où travaillait son père ,Otis Redding est disparu tragiquement vingt-six ans plus tard dans un accident d'avion. Entre temps, il est passé de clubs miteux de Macon, où il succcède à James Brown et à Little Richard, à la scène du festival de Monterey, où il côtoie Janis Joplin et Jimi Hendrix. Sa vie se raconte comme un grand roman de l'Amérique des années 1960, celle de la lutte pour les droits civiques, du mouvement hippie et de la guerre au Vietnam. Il a incarné comme nul autre la soul de Memphis et des studios Stax, tout en faisant oublier le ghetto ethnique et les barrières musicales.

CARDANO'S COSMOS. The Worlds and Works of a Renaissance Astrologer
GIROLAMO CARDANO was an Italian doctor, natural philosopher, and mathematician who became a best-selling author in Renaissance Europe. He was also a leading astrologer of his day, whose predictions won him access to some of the most powerful people in sixteenth-century Europe. In Cardano's Cosmos, Anthony Grafton invites readers to follow this astrologer's extraordinary career and explore the art and discipline of astrology in the hands of a brilliant practitioner.
Renaissance astrologers predicted everything from the course of the future of humankind to the risks of a single investment, or even the weather. They analyzed the bodies and characters of countless clients, from rulers to criminals, and enjoyed widespread respect and patronage. This book traces Cardano's contentions career from his first astrological pamphlet through his rise to high-level consulting and his remarkable autobiographical works. Delving into astrological principles and practices, Grafton shows how Cardano and his contemporaries adapted the ancient art for publication and marketing in a new era of print media and changing science. He maps the context of market and human forces that shaped Cardano's practices-and the maneuvering that kept him at the top of a world rife with patronage, politics, and vengeful rivals.
Cardano's astrology, argues Grafton, was a profoundly empirical and highly influential art, one that was integral to the attempts of sixteenth-century scholars to understand their universe and themselves.

Hilma af Klint. The Five Notebook 1
In 1896, Hilma af Klint and four other like-minded women artists left the Edelweiss Society and founded the "Friday Group", also known as "The Five". They met every Friday for spiritual meetings, including prayers, studies of the New Testament, meditation and séances. The medium exercised automatic writing and mediumistic drawing. Eventually they established contact with spiritual beings whom they called "The High Ones". In 1896, the five women began taking meticulous notes of the mediumistic messages conveyed by the spirits. In time, Hilma af Klint felt she had been selected for more important messages. After ten years of esoteric training with "The Five", aged 43, Hilma af Klint accepted a major assignment, the execution of The Paintings for the Temple. This commission, which engaged the artist from 1906 to 1915, changed the course of her life. In 1908, Rudolf Steiner, leader of the German Theosophical Society, held several lectures in Stockholm. He also visited af Klint's studio and saw some of the early Paintings for the Temple. In 1913, Steiner founded the Anthroposophical Society, which af Klint joined in 1920 and remained a member for the rest of her life.

Ethiques vers un monde nouveau
Mieux que la réflexion, la mise en place de solutions éthiques devient cruciale dans notre monde en pleine mutation avec l'Intelligence Artificielle, les réseaux sociaux, les plates-formes d'Internet que les utilisateurs nourrissent eux-mêmes d'informations à chaque action effectuée. Ils deviennent ainsi le jouet d'une matrice tentaculaire devenue autonome, avec ses systèmes à tel point qu'un avatar d'eux-mêmes existe. Lors de leur création à la fin du XXe siècle, leurs concepteurs n'avaient pas envisagé la perte de contrôle de leur "créature". Tout comme l'avait évoqué Stephen Hawking, en 2014, lorsqu'il estimait que l'Intelligence Artificielle pourrait conduire l'humanité à sa perte, les anciens fondateurs et développeurs d'applications alertent sur les dangers survenus en proposant la mise en place de barrières éthiques. C'est ce que tente de démontrer le présent ouvrage, pour bien d'autres domaines du savoir, fruit d'un travail collaboratif entre des chercheurs et des savants du monde entier : Atamena Abdelmalik, Hejer Barbouch, Annick Batard, Isabelle-Rachel Casta, Bouchra Chakir, Georges Chapouthier, Clara Charafadina, Héla Cherif Zribi, Hugo Clémot, Alain Deflesselles, Bernard Djoumessi Tongmo, Giovanni Dotoli, Nicole Dubus-Vaillant, Nermine El Sawy, Olivier Facquet, Jacques Geniais Oula, Andrei Golubkov, Fatma-Zohra Haridi, Magdalena Hasiuk, Sergueï Ivashkine, Sylvie Jacobée-Biriouk, Eric Jacobée-Siviy, Ekaténina Kondratiéva, Ala Eddine Laouier, Gérard Lecha, Hala Abdel Meguid, Pascale Montrésor-Timpesta, Hyacinthe Nogbou, Fabrice Nowak, Peter-Abraham Okwa-Ondo, Sergueï Panov, Neelam Pirbhai-Jetha, Rachida Saidi, Aliénor Strentz, Pascal-Philippe Strentz, Céline Richard, Frédéric-Gaël Theuriau, Marianne Villière, Bi Zaouli Sylvain Zamblé et Jean-Baptiste Zeke.

Tocqueville. Vers un nouveau monde
Eté 1831. Alexis de Tocqueville et Gustave de Beaumont, deux aristocrates français en visite aux Etats-Unis, entreprennent un voyage au coeur de la région des Grands Lacs, en quête de l'extrême limite de la civilisation occidentale. Entre le peuple indien en voie de disparition et l'avancée de l'homme blanc à travers le Nouveau Monde, des forêts sauvages à l'urbanisation intense, ils nous dressent au fil de leur parcours un portrait de l'Amérique des pionniers. Bien connu pour son ouvrage de philosophie politique De la démocratie en Amérique, Alexis de Tocqueville apparaît dans ce récit (inspiré de son propre carnet de voyage) comme un jeune homme idéaliste, en quête d'in ! ni et de nature vierge, comme si le héros d'Into the wild vivait les aventures du Dernier des Mohicans.

Aux origines du nature writing
L'expérience de la wilderness, l'espace sauvage américain, est traditionnellement associée à l'écriture de la nature, ou nature writing, en particulier avec Henry D. Thoreau, dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Or, celle-ci est apparue bien avant, dès les écrits du naturaliste William Bartram, inspirant fortement deux écrivains français de renom - François-René de Chateaubriand et Alexis de Tocqueville - qui ont décrit, entre 1775 et 1831, les splendeurs des grands espaces naturels se déployant en innombrables déserts, forêts, fleuves ou lacs. Portés par la vogue américaine issue des romans de James Fenimore Cooper, Chateaubriand et Tocqueville font naître l'écriture littéraire de la nature en s'inspirant in situ des solitudes du Nouveau Monde. Thoreau puis John Muir viendront parachever ce premier élan en consacrant l'autonomie d'un genre nouveau, promis de nos jours à un essor toujours plus grand.

Foreign Devils
Foreign Devils investigates representations of exile in Hollywood cinema from 1930 to 1956 through the films of Peter Lorre, Béla Lugosi, and Conrad Veidt. This book dispels the assumption that by virtue of its hegemonic, reactionary, and exclusionary modes of representation, otherness is excluded from or only obliquely alluded to in classical Hollywood cinema. This book contends that Hollywood uses European émigré actors to speak of the experience of exile and the often-futile exilic attempts at integration into the host nation. This original, cross-disciplinary study incorporates a number of research interests in film studies – specifically Hollywood cinema, exile and émigré filmmakers, the Golden Age of the studio system, the Universal Horror cycle, and Poverty Row filmmaking. Foreign Devils combines the close reading of key texts with a theoretical framework that encompasses body theory and theories of space and nation with historical accounts of immigration to the United States and American concepts of nationhood through the symbolism of blood and death studies. Film studies students and academics, both undergraduate and postgraduate, as well as scholars in other disciplines, and anyone with an interest in Hollywood cinema, Central European culture in the 1930s-1950s, and European emigration to the United States will benefit from reading this book. Foreign Devils is also a valuable resource for courses in Hollywood filmmaking, émigré film, exile, Central European culture, nationalism studies, and Jewish studies.

The Connection between Base Structure and Linearization Restrictions in German and Dutch
Recently, generative linguists have been concentrating on underlying principles of grammar rather than dealing with the connection between surface data and base structure. This book is an attempt to establish that connection by writing a grammar of the German and Dutch sentence. Moreover, it stresses the value of the Topological Fields Theory as a "prefiguration" of later transformational analyses.

How Judaism reads the Torah, III
Writing with Scripture, the ancient sages of Judaism made use of Scripture by making Scripture their own, and making themselves into the possession and instrument of Scripture as well, a reciprocal process in which both were changed, each transformed into the likeness and image of the other. This they did by effecting their own selections, shaping a distinctive idiom of discourse, all the while citing, responding to, reflecting upon, Scripture's own words in Scripture's own context and for Scripture's own purpose : the here and now of eternal truth. And the rabbis of the first six centuries A.D. through the compilation presented here not only wrote with Scripture, but set forth a statement that was meant to be coherent and proportioned, well-crafted and well-composed. Since the statement concerned the distinctively-theological question of God's and Israel's relationship with one another, we must classify the writing as theological and find out how, in the compilation before us, their theological structure accomplished the authorship's goals. This anthology aims at doing just that. It presents a complete account of how the classical Midrash-text treat a theme of urgent interest to the world today : how Judaism writes with Scripture about the issues of religion that confront all the faithful.

La gauche imaginaire et le nouveau capitalisme
Le capitalisme français connaît une révolution : OPA, fusions, acquisitions, fonds de pension et autres conséquences d'une mondialisation menée à l'anglo-saxonne. Que fait donc la gauche dite plurielle, rassemblée autour de Lionel Jospin ? Elle accepte, mieux encore, elle encourage cet abandon à " la main invisible du marché ". Faut-il alors oublier ce slogan qui fut rassembleur : " Changer la vie " ? Assiste-t-on à la mort de la social-démocratie ? L'Etat providence ne sera-t-il plus bientôt qu'un souvenir ? D'une réforme habilement truquée, comme les trente-cinq heures, à de savants montages financiers, la gauche réduite aux paillettes a troqué l'ambition du politique contre le spectacle de la politique. Faussement sincère, elle sauve les apparences. N'allons-nous pas inutilement de l'économie de marché à la société de marché ? Dans un essai décapant et souvent cruel, de Vilvorde à la Bourse, de Bercy à Matignon, dans les coulisses du capitalisme tel qu'il gouverne la France, Gérard Desportes et Laurent Mauduit nous montrent le vrai visage de la gauche : la gauche imaginaire...

Agrégation anglais. Howards End (E. M. Forster, J. Ivory) : Beyond Heritage. Edition 2021
Reading Forster's novel and Ivory's film together gives a stunning opportunity to re-assess the representation of Pre-World War One modernity. Far from presenting Edwardian England as a golden period, Howards End explores social structures, social mobility, real estate, the ambivalent relation to culture and new technological modes of communication and transport. Stylistically, the novel breaks new ground with its Protean narrative voice, and transitions towards Modernism with its mythic, musical method. The eponymous house becomes a metaphor for ecological balance, a new kind of extended family structure, a network of connections and a new sense of community. If Howards End as a novel reinvents literary legacy and redefines personal and national heritage, Ivory's adaptation must also be reassessed as so-called heritage cinema, far from the clichés of a purely aesthetic approach. It is no period piece or marketable commodity meant to toe a conservative line, but a carefully woven creative transposition, which also raises social and gendered questions.

Media and Education in the Digital Age
This book is an invitation to informed and critical participation in the current debate on the role of digital technology in education and a comprehensive introduction to the most relevant issues in this debate. After an early wave of enthusiasm about the emancipative opportunities of the digital "revolution" in education, recent contributions invite caution, if not scepticism. This collection rejects extreme interpretations and establishes a conceptual framework for the critical questioning of this role in terms of concepts, assessments and subversions. This book offers conceptual tools, ideas and insights for further research. It also provides motivation and information to foster active participation in debates and politics and encourages teachers, parents and learners to take part in the making of the future of our societies.

CONSTRUCTING QUARKS. A Sociological History of Particle Physics
Widely regarded as a classic in its field, Constructing Quarks recounts the history of the post-war development of elementary particle physics. Inviting a reappraisal of the status of scientific knowledge, Andrew Pickering suggests that scientists are not passive observers; and reporters of nature. Rather, they are active producers of the world through a social symbiosis of experimental and theoretical practice.
"Constructing Quarks chronicles what many have begun to regard as a major revolution in 20th century science-the discovery of quarks and gauge field theories of strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions. A prodigious piece of scholarship that I can heartily recommend."
-Michael Riordan, New Scientist
"An admirable history.... Because his account is so detailed and so accurate, and because it makes clear why the physicists did what they did, it is eminently suited to be required reading for all young physicists entering or contemplating entering the practice of elementary-particle physics."
-Hugh N. Pendleton, Physics Today
"A very detailed description of a remarkable enterprise."
