Michel Foucault
À sa parution en 1989, cinq ans après la mort de Foucault, cette biographie fut internationalement saluée comme un événement. Explorant les archives inédites, Didier Éribon y restituait magistralement les mille visages, connus et inconnus, d’un philosophe dont toute l’œuvre peut se lire comme une insurrection contre la violence des normes et de la normalité. Captant la singularité d’un homme énigmatique et d’une pensée passionnément critique, il …
A Tree as a Record
This essay briefly describes the process of working with the author Édouard Glissant in translating his works, with a particular focus on the novel Mahagony. It explores the extent to which a personal relationship with the author provides both special insights and frustration for the translator. It treats the part played by the requirement that a translator “write” the work again after the author’s first writing and how this relates to the expect…

In Poetics of Relation, French-Caribbean writer and philosopher Edouard Glissant turns the concrete particulars of Caribbean reality into a complex, energetic vision of a world in transformation.

Acts of Fake: The Icon in Platonic Thought
PLATO ASKED IT FIRST-that untenable, crude, philosophical question. Not hesitating to speak of the philosopher as of a rustic, ridiculous, and difficult man, Plato risked being as unseemly as the question he put neither politely nor confidently: What is the image?' For neither philosopher, nor thought, nor a concern for inquiry act properly when they turn toward the image. A scene from Hippias Major is a good example in this respect. Socrates ask…
"Reading Clarice Lispector's "Sunday before Going to Sleep
The story is about a family's Sunday outings. The family used to go to the port where the father stared at the oily waters in such a way that if he were still alive he would perhaps still have before his eyes the oily water(. . .). His look disquieted the daughters. At nightfall, the youngest daughter who enjoys the father's special favors, climbs on a high swivelling stool in one of the city's numerous bars. This, the father found amusing
