Abstract

Correspondant de guerre de 1941 à 1945, Vassili suivit l’Armée rouge sur tous les fronts. Dissident avant la lettre, témoin premier d’un monde « qui a tourné autour de son axe », il signe avec Vie et Destin son chef d’œuvre. Ce roman, confisqué par le KGB et interdit de publication pendant vingt ans en Union soviétique, a pu par miracle être sauvé et envoyé sous forme de microfilms en Europe au début des années 1980. Il ne paraîtra en Russie qu’en 1989. Voici l’histoire de ce roman-fresque dont l’ambition affichée était de reconstituer une sorte de Guerre et Paix du xxe siècle, de rendre compte de la tragédie totalitaire. De la bataille de Stalingrad à l’enfer de Treblinka, des horreurs du nazisme aux ravages du stalinisme, de la lettre écrite par une mère à son fils avant la fin depuis le ghetto de Berditchev à la métamorphose d’un homme ébranlé dans sa foi et qui découvre la liberté et la littérature, c’est une page d’histoire et un témoignage bouleversant sur l’Europe, son histoire, ses échecs, ses trous noirs.

Abstract

Dans ce roman-fresque, composé dans les années 1950, à la façon de Guerre et paix, Vassili Grossman (1905-1964) fait revivre l'URSS en guerre à travers le destin d'une famille, dont les membres nous amènent tour à tour dans Stalingrad assiégée, dans les laboratoires de recherche scientifique, dans la vie ordinaire du peuple russe, et jusqu'à Treblinka sur les pas de l'Armée rouge. Au-delà de ces destins souvent tragiques, il s'interroge sur la terrifiante convergence des systèmes nazi et communiste alors même qu'ils s'affrontent sans merci. Radicalement iconoclaste en son temps - le manuscrit fut confisqué par le KGB, tandis qu'une copie parvenait clandestinement en Occident -, ce livre pose sur l'histoire du XXe siècle une question que philosophes et historiens n'ont cessé d'explorer depuis lors. Il le fait sous la forme d'une grande œuvre littéraire, imprégnée de vie et d'humanité, qui transcende le documentaire et la polémique pour atteindre à une vision puissante, métaphysique, de la lutte éternelle du bien contre le mal.

Abstract

"Did the first generation Holocaust writers not warn us against the risks of imagination? Does it not create an illusion that the unimaginable can be imagined, the unrepresentable represented? Clearly this warning has not been taken up by David Grossman. Fully embracing imagination's power, his novel See Under: Love offers a profound reflection on how the twenty-first century can assume the heritage of the Shoah and remember the 'unmemorable' in a proper way. The essays in this volume reflect on this one novel, though each from its own angle. Focusing on one single novel shows the surplus value of a multispectral reflection on one central problem, in this case the allegedly inconceivable and unspeakable nature of the Shoah"--

Abstract

The texts of Boris Hessen and Henryk Grossmann assembled in this volume are important contributions to the historiography of the Scientific Revolution and to the methodology of the historiography of science. They are of course also historical documents, not only testifying to Marxist discourse of the time but also illustrating typical European fates in the first half of the twentieth century. Hessen was born a Jewish subject of the Russian Czar in the Ukraine, participated in the October Revolution and was executed in the Soviet Union at the beginning of the purges. Grossmann was born a Jewish subject of the Austro-Hungarian Kaiser in Poland and served as an Austrian officer in the First World War; afterwards he was forced to return to Poland and then because of his revolutionary political activities to emigrate to Germany; with the rise to power of the Nazis he had to flee to France and then America while his family, which remained in Europe, perished in Nazi concentration camps. Our own acquaintance with the work of these two authors is also indebted to historical context (under incomparably more fortunate circumstances): the revival of Marxist scholarship in Europe in the wake of the student movement and the professionalization of history of science on the Continent. We hope that under the again very different conditions of the early twenty-first century these texts will contribute to the further development of a philosophically informed socio-historical approach to the study of science.

Abstract

This volume examines the intertwined lives of six women and three men, Russian Jews in the first half of the twentieth century, as their belief in the Soviet dream unraveled. Under what circumstances did they bow to political pressures, and under what circumstances did they resist, even heroically?.

Abstract

Murderous Consent details our implication in violence we do not directly inflict but in which we are structurally complicit: famines, civil wars, political repression in far-away places, and war, as it’s classically understood. Marc Crépon insists on a bond between ethics and politics and attributes violence to our treatment of the two as separate spheres. We repeatedly resist the call to responsibility, as expressed by the appeal—by peoples across the world—for the care and attention that their vulnerability enjoins. But Crépon argues that this resistance is not ineluctable, and the book searches for ways that enable us to mitigate it, through rebellion, kindness, irony, critique, and shame. In the process, he engages with a range of writers, from Camus, Sartre, and Freud, to Stefan Zweig and Karl Kraus, to Kenzaburo Oe, Emmanuel Levinas and Judith Butler. The resulting exchange between philosophy and literature enables Crépon to delineate the contours of a possible/impossible ethicosmopolitics—an ethicosmopolitics to come. Pushing against the limits of liberal rationalism, Crépon calls for a more radical understanding of interpersonal responsibility. Not just a work of philosophy but an engagement with life as it’s lived, Murderous Consent works to redefine our global obligations, articulating anew what humanitarianism demands and what an ethically grounded political resistance might mean.
