Nick Mansfield, Bastard Politics
Reflections on Acéphale
Olivier Rolin
This essay is a discussion of two works by contemporary French writer Olivier Rolin: Le Météorologue (2014) and Bakou, derniers jours (2010), both examples of empiritext , a contemporary genre of writing in France that melds historical considerations with travel narrative. Rolin’s works raise the question of the author’s habitation of (landscapes and histories via) his or her own text, specifically in the context of the demise of the Soviet socia…

What one thinks of community, and its genesis out of the interpersonal relation, will necessarily determine how one conceives of politics. In attempting to think Maurice Blanchot's positions, on la
Blood in the City
What the Nazis Saw
Recently much debate has turned around Jean-Paul Sartre's alleged duplicity during the Occupation: did he or did he not knowingly replace, in 1941 at the Lycée Condorcet, a Jewish professor who had been deprived of his post simply because he was Jewish? Did this make Sartre a knowing, albeit passive, accomplice to Vichy racial policy—an accomplice, like millions of others in wartime France, in that he was, with an apparently clean conscience, wil…

Round Dusk
‘Round Dusk: Kojève at “The End” Allan Stoekl The postmodern moment has been characterized as one of the loss of legitimacy of the master narratives—social, historical, political; Hegelian, Marxist, Fascist—by which lives were ordered and sacrificed throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.1 The demise of the great story, which gave direction and purpose to struggle and violence, has opened a space for a proliferation of conflicting mode…

Ponge's Photographic Rhetoric
Light plays a central role in the writings of Francis Ponge; his poetry is inconceivable without it. But light - and its ultimate though problematic source, the sun - is more than just one theme or metaphor among many in Ponge's poetic universe; it is, in fact, the central metaphor around which all others turn. When we have understood light (and its contrary, dark) in Ponge, we will be able to understand the status of Ponge's own writings as obje…

The Future of the End of History
Truman's Apotheosis
Formalism, Marxism, Psychoanalysis
Formalism is often accused (and by Formalism we mean the theories of literary forms that come from structural linguistics and from Russian Formalism) of misunderstanding, or even ignoring, the historical dimension of artistic works. This dispute could have been avoided by originally putting it on surer philosophical footing. We know that, as Louis Althusser has shown, the structure versus history opposition makes only methodological sense because
