Abstract

Walter Benjamin développe ici sa thèse sur la déperdition de l'aura (de). À l'inverse des icônes qu'on voyait, par exemple, dans les églises orthodoxes, où l'emplacement et la vibration de l'œuvre étaient uniques, propres à une communication mystique, les œuvres issues des techniques de reproduction de masse, notamment par le biais de l'imprimerie, la gravure, la photographie, accélérés et démultipliés par les processus photomécaniques, chimiques et électriques (le cinématographe en est un parfait exemple), ont contribué à la déperdition de l'aura propre d'une œuvre unique, désincarnée par sa reproductibilité et sa déclinaison dans d'infinis sous-modèles (format réduit ou agrandi, changement de couleurs, etc.). Benjamin propose également une analyse de l'image cinématographique (une projection), ainsi qu'une réflexion sur la dimension politique et sociale de l'art à l'époque de la reproductibilité technique.

Abstract

A quiet French country district is the site of a nuclear waste-processing plant. Francoise Zonabend describes the ways in which those working in the plant, and living nearby, come to terms with the risks in their daily lives. She provides a superb sociology of the nuclear work-place, with its divisions and hierarchies, and explains the often unexpected responses of the workers to the fear of radiation and contamination. The work is described euphemistically in terms of women's tasks - cleaning, cooking, preparing a soup - but the male workers subvert this language to create a more satisfying self-image. They divide workers into the cautious ('rentiers') and the bold ('kamikazes') who relish danger. By analysing work practices and the language of the work-place, the author shows how workers and locals can recognise the possibility of nuclear catastrophe while, at the same time, denying that it could ever happen to them. This is a major contribution to the anthropology of modern life.

Abstract

First published in French magazines in the 1960s, the essays and interviews collected in this volume tackle two of Sartre's most enduring concerns as a philosopher: politics and literature. With regard to the former, they develop the notion of the intellectual not only as an aloof theoretician, but also as a constructive agent of change. His writings on literature explore the limitations of language as an exact vehicle for meaning, the author's lack of ownership of his own words and the avenues that certain types of theatre such as Artaud's open for non-verbal communication. A useful, concise introduction to Sartre's thinking, Politics and Literature investigates concepts and highlights conflicts, interrogations and debates that remain topical and relevant to this day.
