Abstract

Si Claude Lévi-Strauss est connu et reconnu, c'est pour son combat afin de prouver que les peuples dits « primitifs » n'ont de primitifs que le nom. Il est toutefois nettement moins de notoriété publique que, avant de se tourner vers l'ethnologie, Lévi-Strauss a tenté d'entamer une carrière politique. Ce sont les répercussions que cette carrière – avortée – peut avoir sur l'ensemble de son œuvre que ce travail se propose d'analyser. En effet, Lévi-Strauss se positionne farouchement contre l'existence du politique au sein des sociétés « primitives », se fermant à toute notion de domination, de violence ou de profit. Au contraire, il voit ces sociétés comme de véritables modèles pour le monde occidental, gangréné par la subordination et le mépris de l'individu. Il existe pourtant tout un pan de l'anthropologie qui ne partage pas cette vision idyllique des sociétés « primitives » et auquel le présent travail entreprend de confronter Lévi- Strauss.

Abstract

Questo nuovo "Sestante" prende le mosse da un aspetto spesso trascurato del pensiero e dell’opera di Levi, quello che si rifà alla suaformazione scientifica. Dopo la ripubblicazione di Se questo è un uomo e parallelamente alla stesura della Tregua, lo scrittore, infatti, inaugura la fase del racconto di ispirazione scientifica. Enrico Mattioda per la prima volta rintraccia le fonti di molti dei racconti di Levi, in particolare nella rivista «Scientific American». Questo lavoro di ricerca ha permesso di ricostruire con più esattezza lo sviluppo del suo pensiero che, tra la fine degli anni Settanta e l’inizio degli anni Ottanta, con la scoperta dei buchi neri – le cosiddette “stelle nere” – , si sposta verso una visione del mondo pessimistica, secondo la quale l’ottusità della materia si riflette nelle attività dell’uomo e nella storia.

Abstract

Paul Levi remains one of the most interesting and controversial figures in the early history of the Communist movement. As leader of the KPD after the murder of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, he successfully built up a party of a third of a million members, but by 1921 Comintern pressure for ‘Bolshevisation’ forced Levi’s resignation and expulsion. Until his early death in 1930 he remained ‘a revolutionary socialist of the Rosa Luxemburg school’ (Carl von Ossietsky), and was described by Albert Einstein as ‘one of the wisest, most just and courageous persons I have come across’. The first English edition of Levi’s writings fills a long-standing gap in the documents of German Communism.

Abstract

Qu’est-ce qui définit l’ethnologie parmi les autres sciences de l’homme ? Pourquoi la parenté constitue-t-elle une part si importante de son champ d’étude et comment Lévi-Strauss en a-t-il renouvelé l’approche en partant de la question de la prohibition de l’inceste ? Qu’est-ce que le totémisme ? Qu’est-ce qu’un mythe ? Enfin, qu’est-ce qui différencie nos sociétés dites historiques de celles que l’on a longtemps qualifiées de primitives ? On trouvera également ici une présentation critique des principaux ouvrages et articles de Lévi-Strauss (1908-2009), ainsi qu’une bibliographie choisie et mise à jour de ses oeuvres et des études qui lui ont été consacrées.

Abstract

Gersonides—Rabbi Levi ben Gershom (Provence, 1288–1344)—was a multifaceted thinker. Endowed with his original and critical mind, he did not accept the authority of his predecessors but investigated every matter for himself. His extraordinary attention to method—both of inquiry and of writing—stands out clearly in his own work and in his reading of certain biblical books. The eight articles on Gersonides’ thought and method collected in this volume address four main topics: Gersonides’ methods of inquiry and composition; the use of introductions in his own works and in biblical books; his method in the supercommentaries on Averroes; and his methods of biblical exegesis. 'Klein-Braslavi's (sic) book...is highly recommended for all libraries that take seriously philosophy, the life of the mind and cognition.' David B. Levy, Touro College

Abstract

This innovative reading of Primo Levi’s work offers the first sustained analysis in English of his representations of bodies and embodiment. Discussion spans the range of Levi’s works — from testimony to journalism, from essays to science fiction stories — identifying and tracing multiple narratives of embodiment and disembodiment across his oeuvre. These narratives range from the abject, disembodied condition of prisoners in Auschwitz, to posthuman or cyborg individuals, whose bodies merge with technological devices. Levi’s representations of bodies are explored in relation to theories of embodiment and posthumanism, bringing his work into new dialogue with critical discourses on these issues. Taking inspiration from Levi’s definition of the human being as a constructor of containers, as well as from the recurring references to both material and metaphorical containing structures in his work, the book suggests that for Levi, embodiment involves constant negotiations of containment. He depicts the complex relationships between physical and social bodies, the material and the immaterial self, the conscious and unconscious subject, the organic and the technologically-enhanced body, engaging with evolving understandings of the boundaries of the body, the self, and the human.
