Et si les tragédies des Grecs, si souvent jouées, ne correspondaient pas tout à fait aux idées que nous nous en faisons? Pierre Judet de La Combe propose de revoir de fond en comble nos conceptions du tragique, forgées tardivement par le Romantisme, et de les confronter aux tragédies d'Eschyle, de Sophocle et d'Euripide, " ces machines théâtrales extrêmement complexes et raffinées, alliant des matériaux physiques et symboliques hétérogènes, porteurs de cultures historiques et de formes d'origines différentes, masques, vêtements, voix, poésies, dialectes, musiques, danses, cérémonies rituelles...

The word "freedom" is so overly used-and frequently abused-that it is always in danger of becoming nothing but a cliché. In Another Freedom, Svetlana Boym offers us a refreshing new portrait of the age-old concept. Exploring the rich cross-cultural history of the idea of freedom, from its origins in ancient Greece to the present day, she argues that our attempts to imagine freedom should occupy the space of not only "what is" but also "what if." Beginning with notions of sacrifice and the emergence of a public sphere for politics and art, Boym expands her account to include the relationships between freedom and liberation, modernity and terror, and political dissent and creative estrangement. While depicting a world of differences, she affirms lasting solidarities based on the commitment to the passionate thinking that reflections on freedom require. To do so, Boym assembles a remarkable cast of characters: Aeschylus and Euripides, Kafka and Mandelstam, Arendt and Heidegger, and a virtual encounter between Dostoevsky and Marx on the streets of Paris. By offering a fresh look at the strange history of this idea, Another Freedom delivers a nuanced portrait of freedom, one whose repercussions will be felt well into the future.
