The 1970's was one of the most culturally vibrant periods in American history. This book discusses the dominant cultural forms of the 1970's - fiction and poetry; television and drama; film and visual culture; popular music and style; public space and spectacle - and the decade's most influential practitioners and texts: from Toni Morrison to All in the Family , from Diane Arbus to Bruce Springsteen, from M.A.S.H. to Taxi Driver and from disco divas to Vietnam protesters. In response to those who consider the seventies the time of disco, polyester and narcissism, this book rewrites the critical....

While Canadian historians have studied socialism in the 1930s, and although there have been many studies of American and British literary leftists from this period, Comrades and Critics is the first full-length study of Canada's 1930s literary left. Challenging dominant perceptions that this decade was a lull between the more celebrated modernist enterprises of the 1920s and 1940s, Candida Rifkind argues that the events of the 1930s - from mass unemployment, to the dustbowl, to the Spanish Civil War - galvanized a generation of writers, leading them to unite artistic practice and political action in provocative and influential ways. Analyzing and recovering much-neglected poems, plays, manifestoes, and documentaries, Rifkind demonstrates how leftist cultural production came to dominate English-Canadian literature by the end of the decade. She pays particular attention to the significant role that women writers played in this period and examines a diverse group of writers that included Dorothy Livesay, Anne Marriott, Irene Baird, and Toby Gordon Ryan. These writers negotiated the struggle to revolutionize both literature and politics, while being subject to the gender hierarchies of socialism and literary modernism that continued long after the thirties came to an end. A groundbreaking study in Canadian history and literature, Comrades and Critics is a much-needed examination of an important and still influential literary period.

C'est en pleine effervescence structuraliste qu'intervient en avril 1966 la publication de l'ouvrage de Michel Foucault, "Les mots et les choses". Un livre événement, devenu un classique traduit dans plusieurs langues et maintes fois réédité par les éditions Gallimard. Avec cet opus, Foucault cherchait à ouvrir un champ nouveau de la philosophie. Personne, d'ailleurs, ne resta indifférent à ses principales conclusions et, pour quelques mois, il focalisa l'attention de nombreux "experts" de la philosophie et des sciences humaines comme Georges Canguilhem, Michel de Certeau, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gilles Deleuze... Quel fut le contexte exact de l'émergence de cet étrange objet ? Qui le salua ? Qui s'opposa à la fameuse thèse de la mort de l'homme ? Comment le philosophe lui-même fit-il retour sur ce livre qui avait pour objectif de produire une archéologie des sciences humaines ? Voici quelques-unes des nombreuses questions que ce dossier de presse aborde à la veille du tournant de la fin des années 1970.
