Книга известного левого французского интеллектуала Дидье Эрибона «Возвращение в Реймс», пока еще не переведенная на русский язык, — одновременно и социологическое исследование, и литературное произведение. Автор обращается к личному и семейному прошлому с целью понять, под воздействием каких факторов сложилась его судьба и чем для него обернулся переход из пролетариев в интеллектуалы.
Emanuele Leonardi - Labour, Nature, Value: André Gorz Between Marxism and Degrowth
The promise of a capitalist green economy is to transform ecological constraints on development into business opportunities. This may sound appealing but proves problematic on closer inspection. Emanuele Leonardi explains how this reasonable ideology fails by drawing on the work of Andre Gorz, the militant communist, editor of Les Temps Modernes, and journalist at Le Nouvel Observateur. The result connects degrowth thinking to Marxism. Labour, Nature, Value is a programmatic horizon for the socio-ecological conflicts proliferating internationally. The aim is to reduce pressure on the biosphere while facilitating an ever-wider diffusion of care activities and knowledge production. Degrowth and Marxism are natural allies in the fight for a fair and sustainable world.
В одни периоды советская историография определяла завоевание Кокандского ханства как колониальную войну, в другие — как добровольное присоединение к России. Подробно об этом читайте в отрывке из книги Сергея Абашина «Кокандский поход», посвященном тому, как ученые среднеазиатских республик пытались привести свои работы в соответствие с меняющимися требованиями Москвы и порой находили способы их обойти.
Marcelo Hoffman - Foucault and Power: The Influence of Political Engagement on Theories of Power
Michel Foucault is one of the most preeminent theorists of power, yet the relationship between his militant activities and his analysis of power remains unclear. The book explores this relationship to explain the development of Foucault's thinking about power. Using newly translated and unpublished materials, it examines what led Foucault to take on the question of power in the early 1970s and subsequently refine his thinking, working through different models (war and government) and modalities (disciplinary, biopolitical and governmental). Looking at Foucault's political trajectory, from his immersion in the prisoner support movement to his engagements with the Iranian revolution and Solidarity in Poland, the book shows the militant underpinning of his interest in the question of power and its various shifts and mutations.
