Le vestiaire des totalitarismes

Camicera nera des fascistes italiens ou chemises brunes des nazis, veste Mao ou béret étoilé du Che, foulard rouge des Komsomols en URSS ou bleu des Pionniers en RDA, krâma cambodgien : tous ces vêtements sont emblématiques des totalitarismes du XXe siècle. Symboles politiques, ils ont convoqué des imaginaires et véhiculé des idéologies. L'attention souvent scrupuleuse portée par les différents régimes – fascistes ou communistes – à la codification et à l'uniformisation des apparences invite à explorer toutes les facettes de ce langage du pouvoir. Témoin et instrument d'une volonté prométhéenne d'emprise et de contrôle, signe d'appartenance et de solidarité mais au...

Succédant à un premier ouvrage consacré aux plans et projets européens formulés au premier XXe siècle, cet ouvrage restitue la teneur des principaux débats qui ont accompagné cinq décennies de construction européenne. À travers 165 textes présentés et remis en contexte, il montre comment l’« Europe » s’est progressivement inscrite au cœur de notre espace public contemporain. À partir de la déclaration Schuman et du lancement de l’intégration économique et institutionnelle de l’Europe, l’idée européenne se transforme en effet. S’inscrivant désormais dans la réalité issue des traités (CECA, CEE, Acte unique, Maastricht, Amsterdam...), elle perd son caract...

What is fascism in the twenty first century? What does Fascism mean at the beginning of the twenty-first century? When we pronounce this word, our memory goes back to the years between the two world wars and envisions a dark landscape of violence, dictatorships, and genocide. These images spontaneously surface in the face of the rise of radical right, racism, xenophobia, islamophobia and terrorism, the last of which is often depicted as a form of "Islamic fascism." Beyond some superficial analogies, however, all these contemporary tendencies reveal many differences from historical fascism, probably greater than their affinities. Paradoxically, the fear of terrorism nourishes the populist and...

Si l' « idée d'Europe » fondée sur le constat d'une unité de civilisation s'enracinant dans la Christianitas médiévale et le Siècle des Lumières est ancienne, l'« idée européenne » est quant à elle récente. Elle naît dans le premier XXe siècle du refus de la distorsion entre une Europe culturelle vécue, voire fantasmée, et l'histoire politique d'un continent déchiré par les guerres et les affrontements idéologiques. Associée aux idéaux de paix internationale et sociale, illustrée par des projets volontaristes d'unité économique et politique, l'idée européenne fut volontiers présentée par ceux qui s'en firent les porteurs comme une idée politique moderne destin...

The Pursuit of Europe

The European Union, we are told, is facing extinction. Most of those who believe that, however, have no understanding of how, and why, it became possible to imagine that the diverse peoples of Europe might be united in a single political community. The Pursuit of Europe tells the story of the evolution of the 'European project', from the end of the Napoleonic Wars, which saw the earliest creation of a 'Concert ofEurope', right through to Brexit. The question was how, after centuries of internecine conflict, to create a united Europe while still preserving the political legal and cultural integrity of each individual nation. The need tofind an answer to this question became more acute after t...

A Critical Theory for the Anthropocene

This volume, which is rooted in biogeophysical studies, addresses conceptions of political action in the Anthropocene and the tension between a desire to accomplish the Promethean project of modernity and a post-Promethean approach. This work explores the idea of ​​an anthropological mutation of political consolidation from a “post-Promethean togetherness”, to creating the capacity to act together. The political thinking of the human condition developed by Hannah Arendt is important here as a resource for thinking about humanity in terms of human adventure. This has three dimensions: hubris, the world and coexistence referring respectively to the logic of profit of the homo oeconomic...

Europe and the East

Europe and the East

This volume investigates competing ideas, images, and stereotypes of a European ‘East’, exploring its role in defining European and national conceptions of self and other since the eighteenth century. Through a set of original case studies, this collection explores the intersection between discourses about a more distant, exotic, or colonial ‘Orient’ with a more immediate ‘East’. The book considers this shifting, imaginary border from different points of view and demonstrates that the location, definition, and character of the ‘East’, often associated with socio-economic backwardness and other unfavourable attributes, depended on historical circumstances, political preferences, cultural assumptions, and geography. Spanning two centuries, this study analyses the ways that changing ideals and persistent clichéd attitudes have shaped the conversation about and interpretations of Eastern Europe. Europe and the East will be essential reading for anyone interested in images and ideas of Europe, European identity, and conceptions of the ‘East’ in intellectual and cultural history.

The Cambridge History of Modern European Thought: Volume 2, The Twentieth Century

The Cambridge History of Modern European Thought is an authoritative and comprehensive exploration of the themes, thinkers and movements that shaped our intellectual world in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth century. Representing both individual figures and the contexts within which they developed their ideas, each essay is written in a clear accessible style by leading scholars in the field and offers both originality and interpretive insight. This second volume surveys twentieth-century European intellectual history, conceived as a crisis in modernity. Comprised of twenty-one chapters, it focuses on figures such as Freud, Heidegger, Adorno and Arendt, surveys major schools of thought including Phenomenology, Existentialism, and Conservatism, and discusses critical movements such as Postcolonialism, , Structuralism, and Post-structuralism. Renouncing a single 'master narrative' of European thought across the period, Peter E. Gordon and Warren Breckman establish a formidable new multi-faceted vision of European intellectual history for the global modern age.
