Metamorphoses
Reflections on having lived the passage from one age to another, as prospects give way to retrospects, pages to screens and time to space. With the close of one century, the onset of the next provides an occasion to take stock of what has been lost—and what gained—in the transition
Photoinduced Palladium-Catalyzed 1,2-Aminoalkylation of Aromatic Alkenes with Hydroxyl as the Directing Group
The hybrid nature of Pd(I)-alkyl radical species has enabled a wide array of radical-based transformations. However, in this transformation, the secondary Pd(I)-alkyl radical species are prone to recombining into Pd(II)-alkyl species to give Heck-type products via β-H loss. Herein, we report a visible-light-induced, three-component Pd-catalyzed 1,2-aminoalkylation of alkenes with readily available alkyl halides and amines to construct C-C and C-N…

Civilization: A Grammar
Cameos from the motley, tangled lives of history’s major spatial divisions are woven with reflections on the Americanization of French culture, revealing the grammar of hegemony—imprint, impress, imperium—behind the rise, rule and fall of civilizations

E se qualquer sistema fosse uma obra de arte fracassada? E se o próprio fato de exprimir-se em geral, sem sujeito singular, dirigindo-se a todos, urbi et orbi, sem destinatário específico, nem lugar ou data, fosse a renúncia dissimulada à obra que poderia ter sido ou nascido se a teoria tivesse, conforme o conselho proustiano, conservado a “força de restringir-se a acompanhar uma impressão através dos seus estados sucessivos até se fixar na expre…
Socialism: A Life-Cycle
The ecosystem of socialism, seen through the material forms in which its principles were transmitted—books, newspapers, manifestos—and the parties, movements, schools and men who were its bearers. From Babeuf to Marx to Mao, the passage of printed ideas, and their inundation by images in the age of the spectacle
Un jour Derrida
On a souvent décrit l'accès à la philosophie comme une naissance : certaines pensées nous donnent littéralement le jour. Donnons-nous un jour avec Jacques Derrida. Non pour commémorer sa mort, mais pour nous demander quelle sorte de jour sa pensée ou ses mots aigus, raffinés nous apportent aujourd'hui. De même qu'il y a plus d'une langue - une définition parmi d'autres de la déconstruction -, on compte plus d'un soleil, et la lumière que les phil…
A Pope for All Channels
John Paul II as actor-pope, and doctrine as screenplay—thoughts on the media’s sacralization of one of its favourite sons. Does resurgent religiosity in the age of fibre-optics demonstrate a need for communion far older than God

Letter from America
Why does a malcontent Europe not simply sue for union with the global hegemon, discarding its wisps of independence to exchange proud membership of the American Empire for today’s sullen servility? A jeu d’esprit from the 18th century in the caustic spirit of S*** and V

Les Diagonales du médiologue: Transmission, influence, mobilité
Penser en diagonale : non pas à la va-vite mais sans suivre les lignes droites et balisées. En traversant les clôtures disciplinaires, sans respecter bienséances et nomenclatures. C’est ce que s’efforce de faire le médiologue. Pour penser quoi, en général ? Les médiations techniques de ce qu’on nomme culture. L’inconscient machinique des formes hautes de la vie symbolique et sociale. L’univers des choses tapi sous l’univers des signes. À quel pro…

Remarks on the Spectacle
‘The society of the spectacle’ is a phrase that has passed, in France, and I suppose elsewhere, into common parlance. The recent death of Guy Debord has had a share in giving to his work of 1967, and to the Situationist trend of the sixties, a reputation as
Revolution in the Revolution
The circumstances under which this work was written and the identity of its author are explained in the Introduction written for the original Spanish edition by Roberto Fernandez Retamar and included in this English translation. It remains for us only to add information, useful to the reader, on developments since publication in Havana in January, 1967.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are pu…

A Reply
The following is a translation of a document which reached the New York MR office late in December. It would perhaps have been desirable to send copies to all contributors to the special July-August issue, to which Debray's letter is a reply, affording an opportunity for any rejoinders they might care to make. But this would have entailed a long delay in publishing a document which, for reasons outside the control of all concerned, is already fiv…
Latin America: The Long March
The following notes are the outcome of a long period spent in South America, side by side with revolutionary militants of every kind. I have attempted to understand these men and the beliefs which move them, on the spot—where I knew them: in Venezuela in the guerilla front
Problems of Revolutionary Strategy in Latin America
These notes are designed to answer the following question: how has the Cuban Revolution modified the bloody class struggle which opposes the popular masses to imperialism and the national oligarchies in power in Latin America? What is the explanation for the slow tempo and apparent difficulties which revolutionary

Image of the People
Each of Timothy Clark’s two books merits a separate study. Both are important works, especially fascinating for a French reader. But I shall confine myself here to Image of the People, since its field is narrower than that of The Absolute Bourgeois, and for that very reason it

Marxism and the National Question
I believe that a little philosophy is needed on the subject of the nation. It was the nation which first led me to question Marxism seriously. This was the real breach in the walls which let me make an outside tour of the fortress, rather than go on
A Modest Contribution to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Tenth Anniversary

The official ceremonies organized around the tenth anniversary of May ’68 brought together everyone in this country with a name, a status or a decoration and saturated every medium of communication.
