The Invention of Prehistory
La société des idées. Pour une synthèse entre histoire intellectuelle et sociologie des concepts
L'histoire intellectuelle et la sociologie des intellectuels ont connu des développements séparés aux États-Unis et en France. Le présent article, issu d'une collaboration de plus de six ans ayant donné lieu à la publication du Routledge Handbook of the History and Sociology of Ideas , propose des articulations entre ces approches, tout en dressant un état des lieux des développements récents (et foisonnants) au sein de chacune d'elles. Cette div…
Fetishism and aesthetics
The Problem of the Fetish
"The Problem of the Fetish gathers William Pietz's innovative writing on the fetish object and the history of the "fetish" as a concept. Engaging extensively with historical documents, Pietz traces the genealogy of fetishism from encounters between European colonizers and African communities in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to the emerging social sciences. Discussing the role of fetishism in anthropology, political economy, psychiatry, …
Fascisms and Their Afterli(v)es
Fascisms and Their Afterli(v)es:An Introduction Dagmar Herzog and Stefanos Geroulanos What ideological "befogging," asked the iconoclast Marxist Freudian Wilhelm Reich in The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), convinced the impoverished, disempowered masses to find in fascism the answer to their discontent? The only explanation could be, he suggested, that fascism addressed human selves already riven by impulses of insurgence and compliance.1 In …

An Atheism that Is Not Humanist Emerges in French Thought
After the Resistance (1)
Cybernetics and the human sciences
Cybernetics saturates the humanities. Norbert Wiener’s movement gave vocabulary and hardware to developments all across the early digital era, and still does so today to those who seek to interpret it. Even while the Macy Conferences were still taking place in the early 1950s, talk of feedback and information and pattern had spread to popular culture – and to Europe. The new science created a shared language and culture for surpassing political a…
Crafting a corpse, “cheating” the gods
Composite mummies do not contain a corpse but are made from body parts or bones and other materials. They are genuine mummies made in ancient Egypt for spiritual reasons. This article describes the study of a composite human mummy using computed tomography (CT). This procedure was used to identify the bones and other materials used to make the mummy as well as the technique used for its assembly. Other findings of interest included bilateral pari…
Polyschematic prehistory at the dusk of colonialism
Eurasianism versus IndoGermanism
In 1935, the Russian linguist Prince Nicolai S. Trubetskoi and the French mythologist Georges Dumézil engaged in a vicious debate over a seemingly obscure subject: the structure of Northwest Caucasian languages. Based on unknown archival material in French, German, and Russian, this essay uses the debate as a pathway into the 1930s scientific and political stakes of IndoEuropeanism – the belief that European cultures emerged through the spread of…
An Anthropology of the Forms that Speak
Scaffolding of Sovereignty
Transparency in Postwar France
This book returns to a time and place when the concept of transparency was met with deep suspicion. It offers a panorama of postwar French thought where attempts to show the perils of transparency in politics, ethics, and knowledge led to major conceptual inventions, many of which we now take for granted. Between 1945 and 1985, academics, artists, revolutionaries, and state functionaries spoke of transparency in pejorative terms. Associating it w…
An Army of Shadows
Warren Breckman. Adventures of the Symbolic
Warren Breckman's Adventures of the Symbolic centers on 1970s French political thought and its consequences, as these lie today at the limit between the two pillars of his subtitle: Post-Marxism, part of whose history in post-1968 “French theory” the book reconstructs, and Radical Democracy, whose goals the book pursues through its post-Marxist mediator. In addition to offering a valuable and significant account of the politics associated with wh…

Postwar Facial Reconstruction
This essay proposes a reading of Georges Franju's Eyes Without a Face that focuses on the cultural and philosophical contexts of the face, its destruction, and imagined reconstruction in postwar France. The film foregrounds the protagonist's lack of a face and the effort to restore it into a cinematic argument heralding the ruin of natural beauty and genuine face-to-face relations, an approach that in turn theorizes the postwar world as premised …
Stories of Lynx; or, Husserlian Concepts in Transformation
This article, part of a longer study of Edmund Husserl's influence in France, discusses three concepts—individuality, science, and Europe—that in the postwar period became central to the reception of Husserl. Then, around 1960—particularly in the work of Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, and Gilbert Simondon—these concepts came to define the place of Husserl in modern thought. Husserl's phenomenology structured the use and meaning of these conce…

Heterogeneities, Slave-Princes, and Marshall Plans
This essay examines the French reception of the Carl Schmitt's thought, specifically its Hegelian strand. Beginning with the early readings of Schmitt's thought by Alexandre Kojève and Georges Bataille during the mid-1930s, it attends to the partial adoption of Schmitt's friend/enemy distinction and his theories of sovereignty and neutralization in Kojève and Bataille's Hegelian writings, as well as to their critical responses. The essay then tur…
Russian Exiles, New Scientific Movements, and Phenomenology
This essay, a history of multiple receptions, assesses three interdependent innovations in French thought during the 1930s: the ascendancy of several Russian émigré intellectuals, especially the historian of religion and science Alexandre Koyré; the introduction of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics and Gestalt theory; and the rise of phenomenology. It argues that German-educated Russian émigrés were central to transforming French t…

A Graft, Physiological and Philosophical
A Parting of the Ways
In the summer of 1929, the small Swiss city of Davos hosted one of the most significant philosophical encounters in twentieth-century Europe, a debate between Ernst Cassirer, leader of the Marburg School, and Martin Heidegger, auteur celèbre of Sein und Zeit [SZ] and recent inheritor of Husserl's chair of philosophy at Freiburg. Cassirer had just completed the third volume of his magnum opus, The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms; Heidegger had just f…
French Hegel
It is no news that Hegelianism forms one of the centerpieces of recent French intellectual history. Since its relative wane in the 1970s and 1980s, Hegel's posthumous career to the West of the Rhine has been under considerable scrutiny, and questions such as what it meant, why it was so widespread, and how it transformed French thought have all become favorites of intellectual historians. Over the last two decades, Judith Butler, Vincent Descombe…
The Cult of Art in Nazi Germany (review)
Reviewed by: The Cult of Art in Nazi Germany Stefanos Geroulanos Eric Michaud, The Cult of Art in Nazi Germany. Trans. Janet Lloyd. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2004. xviii + 276 pages. Eric Michaud's long essay on the cultural revolution of National Socialism is a remarkable synthetic work on Nazi ideology, its theo-political foundations, and the part played by aesthetics in its imagination and construction of an Aryan utopia. By using t…

Transparency Dreaming Freedom (Maurice Blanchot's The Most High )
This essay considers the literary deployment of antihumanist tropes as these appear in Blanchot's immediate postwar writings. Centering on Blanchot's "Literature and the Right to Death," and his last novel, the 1948 The Most High, it addresses a series of contemporary Hegelian and phenomenological problems, notably the "end of history," embodiment, and the problem of freedom as well as some political problems related to the debate on communist hu…
