Tidal Thinking and Times of Conflict
The History of Animals
Reviewed by: The History of Animals: A Philosophy by Oxana Timofeeva Diane Morgan (bio) THE HISTORY OF ANIMALS: A PHILOSOPHY BY OXANA TIMOFEEVA Bloomsbury Publishing, 2018 "The age of utopia is decreed!" proclaimed Nicolas Hulot, France's former minister for ecology on the TV channel France 2 on November 22, 2018.1 Three months previously (August 28, 2018), Hulot had spectacularly resigned live on air, making his decision while being interviewed …
Bunker conversion and the overcoming of siege mentality
This article is concerned with the function creativity can play in the cultural reinscription of war bunkers. It engages with theories of historiography, and practices of peacemaking, to consider whether aesthetic activity can be a potentially resistant force against militarism and ‘siege mentality’
Anarchism, utopianism and hospitality
René Schérer (born 1922) is lamentably almost unknown to the Anglo-American world as his work has, as yet, not been translated. He is one of the main specialists of the French ‘utopian socialist’, Charles Fourier (1772–1837), and a major thinker in his own right. He is the author of more than twenty books and co-editor of the journal Chimères. Colleague and friend at Vincennes University (Paris 8) of Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattar…
The “Floating Asylum,” the Armée du salut, and Le Corbusier
This article examines the case of a neglected “heterotopian” space, Le Corbusier's “floating asylum,” commissioned by the French Salvation Army. It uses archival material to explore the potentially far-reaching contribution “heterotopia” can make to a “utopian” project for social transformation, as well as indicating how “dystopian” aspects can infiltrate the same initiative. My analysis focuses on the different texts available in French on Fouca…
Why “Perpetual Peace” Is Almost a Pleonasm
The Problem with Work
The illuminated building is surrounded by nocturnal darkness. Visibly displayed are people working late at the office. The cover of Kathi Weeks's excellent book clearly sets the scene for her analysis of the problems we might well have—or should have—with work in its current configuration. One apparently has to work, but it is also supposed to be “good” to work; one should always try to work more, be more performative, exert oneself more, put in …

Trading Hospitality
This paper engages with the topic of hospitality in its reading of Kant as a thinker of 'globality'; that is, as one who is keenly attuned to the various and complex ways humans strive to 'hospitalize' this planet in their attempts to transform it into a working and living environment. Despite having no illusions about actual international traders' practices, who all too often perpetuate injustices and commit crimes, he sets out a project for a d…
Kant, cosmopolitics, multiperspectival thinking and technology
Kant Trouble
Kant Trouble offers a highly original and incisive reading of some of the lesser known aspects of Kantian thought. Throughout Morgan challenges the widely held view of Kant as the exponent of concrete and rigid rationality and argues that his airtight 'architectonic' mode of reasoning overlooks certain topics which destabilise it. These include temporary forms of architecture, such as landscape gardening; examples which undermine the autonomy of …
