Postcolonial theory is central to many scholarly debates around the world. Some of these debates have become rather sterile and are characterized by a repetitive reworking of old issues, focusing on cultural questions of language and identity in particular. Margaret A. Majumdar investigates the causes of the apparent stagnation of postcolonial theory in some circles, and provides an overview of the divergence between Anglophone and Francophone approaches to the postcolonial. Outlining in particular the contribution of thinkers such as Césaire, Senghor, Memmi, Sartre and Fanon to the worldwide development of anti-imperialist ideas, she offers a critical perspective on the ongoing difficulties of France's relationship with its colonial and postcolonial Others and suggests new lines of thought that are currently emerging in the Francophone world, which are sure to enliven Anglophone discussion and debates.

Si Sartre a été, dès la publication de La Nausée en 1938, pour les initiés de la scène littéraire parisienne, un auteur qui promettait, ce sont ses deux pièces créées sous l'Occupation qui, avant même la fameuse conférence « L'existentialisme est un humanisme » d'octobre 1945, l'ont catapulté dans le domaine public. Comment et pourquoi ? Malgré un travail archéologique dont les résultats sont publiés depuis une vingtaine d'années, les clichés sont tenaces. Sartre ne s'est-il pas affirmé dans le monde théâtral et littéraire en inventant après coup un activisme subversif pour se justifier d'avoir fait jouer ses amies et d'avoir voulu faire carrière au théâtre à un moment qui ne s'imposait pas ? N'a-t-il pas accepté de soumettre ses pièces à la censure allemande pour se faire acclamer par la critique collaborationniste et les représentants des autorités occupantes dans un théâtre dont le nom juif – Sarah Bernhardt – avait été supprimé par un régime qui pratiquait l'extermination ? La prétendue signification politique de ses pièces, en particulier des Mouches, n'était-elle pas si bien cachée qu'aucun spectateur ne s'en est rendu compte ? Ici comme ailleurs, on ne s'approche guère de la réalité par des jugements entiers. Ceux et celles qui auront la patience de lire les comptes rendus des premiers critiques et les témoignages contemporains réunis dans ce volume verront qu'elle était plus complexe.

This collection of essays addresses the ongoing problem of dissent from a broad range of disciplinary perspectives: political philosophy, intellectual history, literary studies, aesthetics, architectural history and conceptualizations of the political past. Taking a global perspective, the volume examines the history of dissent both inside and outside the West, through events in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries both nearer to our own times as well as more distant, and through a range of styles reflecting how contested and pressing the problem of dissent in fact is. Drawing on a range of authors and international problematics, the contributions discuss the multiple ways in which we refract memories of dissent in cultural, historical and aesthetic context. It also discusses the diverse ideas, images and phenomena we use to do so.

Philosophical theology in transition (II / 2) deepens the dialogue with the atheists (in II / 1) in terms of the history of metaphysics. Despite turning away from Hegel, they remain in the space of metaphysics through the development of their own ontologies. The understanding of being that they and their theological opponents presuppose levels the creator-creature relationship and distort it technomorphically. The deconstruction leads to a philosophy of creation as a gift that cannot be thought without being.

Debating Humanity explores sociological and philosophical efforts to delineate key features of humanity that identify us as members of the human species. After challenging the normative contradictions of contemporary posthumanism, this book goes back to the foundational debate on humanism between Jean-Paul Sartre and Martin Heidegger in the 1940s and then re-assesses the implicit and explicit anthropological arguments put forward by seven leading postwar theorists: self-transcendence (Hannah Arendt), adaptation (Talcott Parsons), responsibility (Hans Jonas), language (Jürgen Habermas), strong evaluations (Charles Taylor), reflexivity (Margaret Archer) and reproduction of life (Luc Boltanski). Genuinely interdisciplinary and boldly argued, Daniel Chernilo has crafted a novel philosophical sociology that defends a universalistic principle of humanity as vital to any adequate understanding of social life.
