  • René Maran’s «Batouala»

    Jazz-Text

    by Susan Allen ...
    The polemic excited by Batouala’s controversial Preface has conditioned an enduring, near-universal acceptance of a disjunction of Preface and novel. This is the first book to challenge that premise. The fallacious underpinnings of the origin persistence of this view are shown to lie in Western, dichotomously structured thinking. Through offshoots of the civilised-versus-savage dichotomy, namely ... Read more

  • A Natural History of Revolution

    Violence and Nature in the French Revolutionary Imagination, 1789–1794

    by Mary Ashburn Miller ...
    How did the French Revolutionaries explain, justify, and understand the extraordinary violence of their revolution?

    On October 19, 1876 a group of leading French citizens, both men and women included, joined together to form an unusual group, The Society of Mutual Autopsy, with the aim of proving that souls do not exist.

    by Michel Foucault ...

    These thirteen lectures on the 'punitive society,' delivered at the Collège de France in the first three months of 1973, examine the way in which the relations between justice and truth that govern modern penal law were forged, and question what links them to the emergence of a new punitive regime that still dominates contemporary society. ...

  • Ancient Roman Solutions to Modern Legal Issues, The Example of Patent Law

    by Anna Mancini ...
    Our Law and its philosophy have been conceived for an economic world where the main source of wealth was material. Although this world no longer exists, its laws are still alive and slow down the development of modern economies. Patent law strikingly shows this fact. Invented mainly during the industrial revolution in order to protect tangible inventions, it could not be applied to the new ... Read more

With broad historical and ... Read more

  • The Pursuit of Laziness

    An Idle Interpretation of the Enlightenment

    by Pierre Saint-Amand ...
    Translated by Jennifer Curtiss Gage ...

But was the Enlightenment only about the unceasing improvement of self and society? The Pursuit of Laziness examines moral, political, and economic treatises of the period, and reveals that crucial eighteenth-century texts did find value in ... Read more
