Inhabiting a Viral Culture
In contemporary culture, viruses are taken either metaphorically, as signs of accelerated transmission of information, or pejoratively, as evil or “bad” objects laying waste to our lives. I contend that the opposition is moot. By way of Stephen Soderbergh’s prescient film, Contagion (2011), and the recent pandemic, I show how exploitation of resources (notably deforestation and uncontrolled expansion of agribusiness), disregards fragile environme…
The Care of the Possible
In ecological thinking, the term care is of shifting valence. In philosophical and literary history, care is inflected as worrisome, burdensome, while, at the same time, uplifting and given to life. It has functional virtue in material practices based on what can be called an empathic relation. In recent critical texts addressing ecological dilemmas, care emerges as a diagram—an intermediate form—between possibility and event. Both palliative and…

Spatial Ecologies
Spatial Ecologies
Spatial Ecologies takes a new look at the spatial turn in French cultural and critical theory since 1968. Verena Andermatt Conley examines how Henri Lefebvre, Michel de Certeau, Jean Baudrillard, Marc Augé, Paul Virilio, Bruno Latour and Etienne Balibar reconsider the experience of space in the midst of considerable political and economic turmoil. The book considers why French critical theorists turned away from questions of time and looked inste…

Making Sense from Singular and Collective Touches
Making Sense from Singular and Collective Touches Verena Andermatt Conley (bio) In the 1960s French theorists criticized the privileging of sight in Western culture, connecting it to all evils, from phallocentrism to colonialism and bourgeois capitalism. They quoted Martin Heidegger who discussed the West’s ineluctable march toward abstraction in “The World as Picture,” in which he showed how the now-quaint-looking wind charts of the Renaissance …
Thirty-six Thousand Forms of Love
TO QUEER : to deviate from expecting norm, to make strange. Example of bad word that has been turned around. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/queering American critics often credit themselves for having invented queer theory. It can be argued, however, that French theorists' rethinking of official philosophy and psychoanalysis after 1968 dealt extensively not only with feminisms but with homosexualities. Much of Michel Foucault's work, but …
Etienne Balibar's Fictional Spaces
Dans cet article, l'A s'interesse a la pensee d'Etienne Balibar. L'A analyse ici sa vision de l'espace et des flux de population associes au flux du Capital, et se penche sur l'importance de la pensee de Balibar a une epoque ou la mondialisation et la deterritorialisation appelent les intellectuels sur la scene geopolitique
Virilio's Electronic Dérive
Virilio's Electronic Dérive” provides a summary of Ville panique. It shows that the culture critic joins a contemporary debate on the city, democracy, and citizenship. It argues that by writing at the limit of a shift in style and mode of communication, the critic takes what is a tendency for truth. Virilio's apocalyptic style refuses any kind of nuancing. He argues for general disaster under the impact of technologies. Thus, he does not bring ou…
Chaosmopolis
In a world dominated by speed, global cities have become all powerful. They often seem to impose one world culture and eradicate citizens’ rights. In this article I will argue that, without going back to older ways of being, we can adapt the concept of cosmopolis to propose a world (as) city with multiple tiny centers that would diverge from the hegemonic global city. In a world as cosmopolis, singularities and aesthetics, multiplicities and ethi…

Whither the virtual slavoj žižek and cyberfeminism
The Passenger
This article argues that, at first, there appears to be little space for feminism in Virilio's general critique of the loss of physical and mental territories under the impact of technologies and teletechnologies. Allusions to women are mainly taken up in general arguments about progressive immobilization of humans. One exception, however, is a recurring passage of woman as carrier of man. This scene makes of woman a privileged mediator between i…
System and Writing in the Philosophy of Jacques Derrida
This is an important, critical analysis of Derrida's theory of writing, based upon close readings of key texts ranging from his stringent critique of structuralist criticism to his sympathetic and dialogical analysis of Freud's scriptural models. It reveals a dimension of Derrida's thinking which, although consistently present in his works, has been neglected in favour of those 'deconstructionist' cliches used in much recent literary criticism. C…

Ideological Warefare
In the middle sixties a great debate was suscitated by a series of polemics between Raymond Picard and Roland Barthes. Barthes published his Sur Racine, a study incorporating Freudian psychology, anthropological concepts of totemism and phenomenology in an attempt to renovate our long-founded appreciation of the greatest French classical playwright; Raymond Picard, author of a biography of Racine and editor of the Pleiade volume of Racine's Oeuvr…

Hélène Cixous
Born in Algeria in 1937, Helene Cixous achieved world fame for her short stories, criticism, and fictionalized autobiography (Dedans, 1969). Her work quickly became controversial because it frankly tested a distinction between male and female writing. Her literary experiments and her conclusions make her one of the most stimulating and most elusive feminist theorists of our time. Verena Andermatt Conley, a professor of French and women's studies …
