This is an age of crisis: economic, political, environmental, and social. Yet the nature of contemporary crisis is often misunderstood. Crisis, rather than being accidental or episodic -- as is too often assumed -- has been a regular feature of state practice in the neoliberal austerity regimes of contemporary capitalism. In this timely work Jeff Shantz gives special attention to the particular manufactured crises associated with austerity regimes and conditions of precarity within contemporary capitalism, and how Crisis States differ from other forms of state practice.Crisis is a powerful weapon of states and capital in the pursuit of accumulation, exploitation, and control. Engaging insights from anarchism and autonomous Marxism, Shantz lays bare the real nature and character of crisis as political and social pursuits of state and capital under precarious capitalism.Attention is also given to social resistance under crisis state conditions. Contemporary capitalism renders the oppressed and exploited precarious at the same time as opportunities are opened to render the system itself precarious. Understanding Crisis States and precarious capitalism is crucial in considering prospects for resistance.

Première monographie consacrée à cet écrivain américain particulièrement novateur, Ceci n’est pas une tragédie présente l’ensemble de son œuvre, de 1956 à 2007. David Markson renouvelle la forme romanesque pour dire quelque chose de notre époque, de la fragmentation de sa culture, de son questionnement, de ses triomphes et de ses échecs. Depuis son roman parodique du Far West et les romans policiers des années 1960, ou encore ses expériences avec l’écriture sous contrainte dans les années 1970, jusqu’aux récits les plus récents, dont La Maîtresse de Wittgenstein et Arrêter d’écrire, Markson joue avec la forme romanesque, qu’il parodie, fragmente et redéfinit. Proche de la monodie de la tragédie grecque, mais sans la cohérence d’un cosmos balisé, sa voix narrative dresse un pacte autobiographique particulier, dépassant l’individu, dans le monde incertain d’après la Shoah. Entre l’hyper-roman à la manière d’Italo Calvino et le murmure beckettien d’une voix proche du silence, Markson trouve une expression singulière, troublante, intime : celle de nos aspirations et de nos doutes. Ceci n’est pas une tragédieis the first monograph dedicated to the particularly innovative American writer David Markson and includes all his work from 1956 to 2007. David Markson updates the form of the novel to make a statement about our era, the fragmentation of its culture, the questions being asked and its successes and failures. From his parody of the western and his detective novels of the 1960s, or his experiences with constrained writing in the 1970s, to his most recent narratives, amongst them Wittgenstein’s mistress and This is not a novel, Markson plays with the form of the novel, parodying, fragmenting and redefining it. Close to the monody of Greek tragedy, but lacking the coherence of a well-defined universe, his narrative voice establishes a particular autobiographical pact, which goes beyond the individual, in the uncertain Post-Holocaust world. Between what Italo Calvino…
