Pierre Michon
Pierre Michon is one of France's most significant contemporary writers. Since the publication in 1984 of his first book, Vies minuscules, Michon's work has never ceased to evade generic classifications. His work ingests books, lives and thought and probes their complex interrelationship and those moments of convergence that transform an ordinary name into that of an 'Author' or of an 'Artist'. The contents of Michon's work are well documented: they are drawn from canonical novels, chronicles, archives and the biographies of artists' lives and are worked into cross-generic forms that revive names and make us rethink the uncertainty of literature. Less has been written of his engagement with a...

Ideas comprometidas
¿Qué fue del compromiso de los intelectuales? El compromiso del intelectual, en el sentido del engagement sartriano, fue durante buena parte del siglo XX un lugar común, al menos hasta 1968. Desde entonces, y más aún con el nuevo contexto alumbrado tras la caída del bloque soviético en 1989 y con el auge del posmodernismo, todo compromiso de semejante índole se volvió sospechoso. Y, sin embargo, este nunca desapareció del horizonte de los intelectuales. Esta ambiciosa obra, coral y pluridisciplinar, pretende registrar los seísmos que han sacudido los compromisos forjados por los intelectuales durante los dos últimos siglos. A partir de estudios de caso como el de Francia –el pa...
French Encounters with the American Counterculture 1960-1980
French-American interrelationships in the areas of design and creative thinking have been under-acknowledged. It is normally asserted that French architects looked to North America for technical lessons in the development of modern architecture in the 1960s but that the French cultural environment was generally hostile to American ideas. This book includes interviews with French architects who visited the United States in the 1960s-1970s and then assumed influential positions in the press and education in France. Some of these architects found in non-mainstream America and its radical groups of architectural drop-outs a liberating force, free of the taint of American capitalism and the high-...
After the Deluge
Madame de Pompadour's famous quip, 'Apr_s nous, le deluge,' serves as fitting inspiration for this lively discussion of postwar French intellectual and cultural life. Over the past thirty years, North American and European scholarship has been significantly transformed by the absorption of poststructuralist and postmodernist theories from French thinkers. But Julian Bourg's seamlessly edited volume proves that, historically speaking, French intellecutal and cultural life since World War Two has involved much more than a few infamous figures and concepts. Motivated by a desire to narrate and contextualize the deluge of 'French theory,' After the Deluge showcases recent work by today's brighte...
