Au regard de l'historiographie plus classique, qui se focalise sur les auteurs centraux du matérialisme, l'ambition de cet ouvrage collectif est de proposer une exploration d'autres figures se situant à la périphérie de ce courant, voire dans ses marges plus lointaines. Et cela au point d'aborder des penseurs - tels Montaigne, Nietzsche, Freud, Jaurès, ou Deleuze - dont l'affiliation à celui-ci peut se révéler problématique, alors même que leurs contributions permettent d'en proposer une image élargie et enrichie. Depuis la philosophie antique jusqu'à la pensée critique contemporaine (critique sociale, féminisme, écologie), il nous semble que cette mouvance multiforme a profondément contribué à la vitalité du matérialisme.

This study examines the multi-layered relationship between literary modernism and the visual economy. Its methodological focus is on literary techniques of visualization. Based on this approach, it examines a number of specific developments in the history of media and knowledge that led to a new self-understanding of literature as a medium of visualization in the period between 1910 and 1940.

"This volume gathers papers written by archaeologists utilising the methods of historical materialism, attesting not only to what Marxism has contributed to archaeology, but also to what archaeology has contributed, and can contribute, to Marxism as a method for interpreting the history of humanity. The book's contributors consider the question of what archaeology can contribute to a historical perspective on the overcoming of present-day capitalism, synthesising developments in world archaeology, and supplying concrete case studies of the archaeology of the Americas, Europe and the Near East"--

"By digging through the stratigraphy of the history of ideas we can find within and beyond Marxism an 'aleatory current' that values the role of chance in history. Using this perspective, the book builds a case for a historical materialism that is stripped of all teleology. Starting in the ancient Mediterranean with Epicurus, it traces the history of conceiving history as plural up to Marxism and modern science. It shows that concrete historical 'worlds' such as ancient Mesoamerica and Eurasia cannot be reduced to a single template. Affirming the potentiality of a future non-capitalist 'world', it invalidates any 'end of history' thesis"--

Le concept de racisme postcolonial et décolonial présente des limites lorsqu’il s’agit de saisir des évolutions du racisme qui ne correspondent pas au racisme colonial. La disciplinarisation liée au travail, la coercition homogénéisante dans le cadre de l’État-nation et l’auto-racialisation en rapport avec la productivité, ne se prêtent-elles pas aussi à des explications de l’émergence du racisme, par exemple lorsque celui-ci se manifeste à l’encontre de populations minoritaires dans des régions situées en dehors de l’Occident ou à l’encontre de populations situées en dehors des métropoles, qui n’ont jamais été colonisées, ou dont les ancêtres ne l’ont jamais été ?La profonde originalité de la démarche de JustIn Monday, est de nous inviter à reprendre des problèmes laissés irrésolus au sein de la théorie antiraciste du racisme en repensant les articulations de la double nature du racisme : outre des images stéréotypées de l’étranger, il comprend également des images de soi en tant que race (une auto-racialisation) dans lesquelles sont formulées des affirmations sur la manière dont le lien entre les individus et la société moderne est ou devrait être constitué. L’« idée de race » n’est alors ni un plan ni un « instrument de domination », mais toujours un mythe qui entre en jeu lorsqu’il faut défendre son propre ordre social en crise.

"Nathaniel J.P. Barron offers the first book length account in English of Ernst Bloch's contribution to a Marxist philosophy of language. It is ambitious both in situating Bloch's ideas in the broader Marxist engagement with language as it currently exists, and in using Bloch's utopian categories to challenge that engagement. In particular, Barron reads Voloshinov's insights into language through Bloch's categories, and argues that Bloch advances on Voloshinov by offering an understanding of the social materiality of language which is more useful for challenging fascist forms of utterance"--

Théologique, métaphysique, idéaliste, la philosophie de Leibniz ne devrait pas intéresser les auteurs matérialistes du XVIIIe siècle. Pourtant, La Mettrie, Diderot, d'Holbach et Helvétius usent des matériaux du leibnizianisme pour construire une pensée radicale. Ce livre retrace cette réception oubliée.

How do physical things differ from non-things—human subjects, animals, abstract ideas, or processes? Those questions, which are as old as philosophy itself, have inspired contemporary debates in ecocriticism, thing theory, and in the interdisciplinary field of new materialism. This book argues that contemporary narrative is well placed to map out and work through the spectrum of the material and the philosophical questions that underlie it. This is because narrative does not resolve the tensions at the heart of conceptions of materiality but rather reframes them, envisioning their implications and exploring their relevance to concrete contexts of human interaction. This monograph is structured around a number of novels, experimental fiction, films, and video games that imagine the inherent agency of things but also interrogate the affective and ethical significance of materiality in human terms. Its aim is to demonstrate the power of formal narrative analysis to foster conceptually and ethically sophisticated ways of thinking about thingness in times of ecological crisis—that is, times in which "stuff" can no longer be taken for granted.

In the early 11th century, the Kashmiri philosopher Abhinavagupta proposed panentheism-seeing the divine as both immanent in the world and at the same time as transcendent—as a way to reclaim the material world as something real, something solid. His theology understood the world itself, with its manifold inhabitants—from gods to humans to insects down to the merest rock-as part of the unfolding of a single conscious reality, Siva. This conscious singularity-the word "god" here does not quite do it justice—with its capacity to choose and will, pervades all through, top to bottom; as Abhinavagupta writes, "even down to a worm — when they do their own deeds, that which is to be done first stirs in the heart." His panentheism proposed an answer to a familiar conundrum, one we still grapple with today: Consciousness is so unlike matter. How does consciousness actually connect to the materiality of our world? To put this in more familar twenty-first-century terms, how does mind connect to body?These questions drive Loriliai Biernacki's The Matter of Wonder: Abhinavagupta's Panentheism and New Materialism. Biernacki draws on Abhinavagupta's thought—and particularly his yet-untranslated, philosophical magnum opus, the Isvara Pratyabhijña Vivrti Vimarsini—to think through contemporary issues such as the looming prospect of machine AI, ideas about information, and our ecological crises. She argues that Abhinavagupta's panentheism can help us understand our current world and can contribute to a New Materialist re-envisioning of the relationship that humans have with matter.
