Nature and Its Unnatural Relations
Consisting of contributions from a host of international scholars (in fields as diverse as literature, architecture, philosophy, and education), Alain Beauclair and Josh Toth’s Nature and Its Unnatural Relations: Points of Access intercedes in ongoing debates about accessing, defining, and respecting a world humans continue to misuse and misunderstand—and that, as a result, is becoming increasingly inhospitable. The chapters shuttle between a variety of aesthetic and philosophical concerns—from theology and Biblical interpretation to colonialism, hermeneutics, phenomenology, worlding, posthumanism, and speculative realism. These varied approaches are united by a single aporetic thread:...
Phenomenology of Perception
First published in 1945, Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s monumental Phénoménologie de la perception signalled the arrival of a major new philosophical and intellectual voice in post-war Europe. Breaking with the prevailing picture of existentialism and phenomenology at the time, it has become one of the landmark works of twentieth-century thought. This new translation, the first for over fifty years, makes this classic work of philosophy available to a new generation of readers. Phenomenology of Perception stands in the great phenomenological tradition of Husserl, Heidegger, and Sartre. Yet Merleau-Ponty’s contribution is decisive, as he brings this tradition and other philosophical predecesso...

New Philosophies of Sex and Love
Our amorous and erotic experiences do not simply bring us pleasure; they shape our very identities, our ways of relating to ourselves, each other and our shared world. This volume challenges some of our most prevalent assumptions relating to identity, the body, monogamy, libido, sexual identity, seduction, fidelity, orgasm, and more. In twelve original and philosophically thought-provoking essays, the authors reflect on the broader meanings of love and sex: what their shifting historical meanings entail for us in the present; how they are constrained by social conventions; the ambiguous juxtaposition of agency and passivity that they reveal; how they shape and are formed by political institutions; the opportunities they present to resist the confines of gender and sexual orientation; how cultural artefacts can become incorporated into the body; and how love and sex both form and justify our ethical world views. Ideal for students both in philosophy and gender studies, this highly readable book takes us to the very heart of two of the most important dimensions of human experience and meaning-making: to the seductive and alluring, confusing and frustrating, realms of love and sex.
Truth and Metafiction
Metafiction has long been associated with the heyday of literary postmodernism-with a certain sense of irresponsibility, political apathy, or outright nihilism. Yet, if (as is now widely assumed) postmodernism has finally run its course, how might we account for the proliferation of metafictional devices in contemporary narrative media? Does this persistence undermine the claim that postmodernism has passed, or has the function of metafiction somehow changed? To answer these questions, Josh Toth considers a broad range of recent metafictional texts-bywriters such as George Saunders and Jennifer Egan and directors such as Sofia Coppola and Quentin Tarantino. At the same time, he traverses a d...

Journal de Guillaume Paradin ou la Vie en Beaujolais au temps de la Renaissance (vers 1510-1589) (le)
Historien de Lyon, Guillaume Paradin est bien connu à ce titre. Son "Journal" intime, livre de raison dans lequel il donne ses réflexions au jour le jour, l'est beaucoup moins. Edité de façon incomplète au XIXe siècle, réédité au début du siècle, mais sans aucun éclaircissement par E. Longin, ce "journal" d'un célèbre humaniste méritait d'être remis à jour. Mathieu Méras, historien du Beaujolais, en a entrepris l'édition, enrichie d'une introduction et de notes qui permettront de mieux connaître la vie quotidienne en Beaujolais et en Lyonnais au temps de la Renaissance et des Guerres de religions : culture de la vigne, moeurs bonnes ou mauvaises des habitants de Beaujeu, chanoines ou laïques, échos de la Saint-Barthélémy, crimes ou épidémies, plaisirs et jeux de la jeunesse.
