Introduction
The opening contribution to this special edition on “The Truth of Stiegler” tests the claim that the more Bernard Stiegler develops his analysis of the catastrophic collapse of society, the further he risks departure from the philosophical rigor of his earliest ideas on the technical constitution of “intermittently not-inhuman” (“noetic”) life. His diagnoses of the collapse of trust revolve around a critique of misplaced faith () in computational…
On the Origin of Aisthesis by Means of Artificial Selection; Or, the Preservation of Favored Traces in the Struggle for Existence
Much is made of Charles Darwin's concept of natural selection, but Bernard Stiegler has developed a theory of artificial selection that is arguably every bit as important for an understanding of human life, and the life of the mind and aesthetics, in particular. Building on work by the paleoanthropologist André Leroi-Gourhan, Stiegler argues that humans evolve biologically insofar as they are animals, but they become human only through technics. …
Stiegler and Technics
Embers of the Sublime
In The Inner Touch: Archaeology of a Sensation (2007), Daniel Heller-Roazen traces the history of what one might call a feeling of being alive, before drawing attention to twentieth-century philosophers' fascination with an apparent dimming of vitality. The work of Jean-Luc Nancy offers something of an exception to this, since what Nancy has called the “withdrawal of the gods” exposes us to an end of sensation that also renews it, by revealing “s…
Politics of the Gift
Marcel Mauss's Essai sur le don (1923-4) has become one of the central non-philosophical references of contemporary French philosophy. Lacan, Deleuze and Derrida, to name only a few, return to the concept of the gift explicitly and repeatedly.Gerald Moore shows how the problematic of the gift drives and illuminates the last century of French philosophy. By tracing the creation of the gift as a concept, from its origins in philosophy and the socia…
Gay Science and (No) Laughing Matter
Michel Houellebecq has repeatedly presented his literary work as something of a return to Schopenhauer. Yet this interpretation risks understating the complexity of Houellebecq's negotiations with Nietzsche - the self-proclaimed enemy of Schopenhauer - and the Nietzscheanism of la génération 68 . In particular, it overlooks both his repetition of the Nietzschean themes of eternal return and Zarathustran laughter and the constitutive parody of thi…
Rhythmanalysis
Rhythmanalysis displays all the characteristics which made Lefebvre one of the most important Marxist thinkers of the twentieth century. In the analysis of rhythms -- both biological and social – Lefebvre shows the interrelation of space and time in the understanding of everyday life.With dazzling skills, Lefebvre moves between discussions of music, the commodity, measurement, the media and the city. In doing so he shows how a non-linear concepti…
Senghor
T he Elegies, launched like leopard over a snare in Senghor's last major volume, Nocturnes (1961),1 form a discrete group of poems united by their energy, impetuous movement, and choice of imagery. These qualities set them apart as the last important addition to his poetic output.They are also among his most intimate poems, layig bare his disquiet at the very moment when his major ambitions were fulfilled. He had established himself as the leadin…
The Transcription Centre in the Sixties
The Transciption Centre played a part in the diffusion, discussion, and even the creation of African and Caribbean Literatures during a crucial period in their development. It was set up in London in February 1962 and functioned there throughout the rest of the decade. It was funded by the Paris-based Congress for Cultural Freedom, and its offi? cial brief was to record interviews with African or Caribbean writers, artists, and intellectuals, in …

The Imagery of Death in African Poetry
Opening ParagraphThis paper rests on the belief that traditional oral poetry from many parts of Africa exhibits a number of common themes in the imagery with which it handles the fact of death. Further, it argues that these themes are often to be found in the work of contemporary African poets, writing in English or in French. Their treatment in such work may be the sort of sophisticated examination of inherited beliefs that we find in a writer l…

Achebe's New Novel
Towards Realism in French African Writing
Blackness is not absence, but refusal' said Aimé Césaire. The only trouble with refusal as a literary posture is that it is inclined to produce writing which is concerned with public gesture rather than with private and particular observation. Until recently, the great bulk of French writing by Africans could be fairly labelled as romantic, rhetorical, and directed at general rather than individual situations. That is to say, there was a preferen…

Conferences on the Introduction of African Literature to University Courses
Dakar, Senegal, 26–30 March, and Freetown, Sierra Leone, 3–8 April 1963. These two conferences—both sponsored by the Congress for Cultural Freedom—arose out of an earlier meeting on inter-university co-operation held at Fourah Bay College in December 1961. The aim of both was to persuade African universities to integrate the teaching of African literature in French and English into their regular syllabuses, and to ensure that it is studied as lit…
