'St. Matthew Passion' is Hans Blumenberg's sustained and devastating meditation on Jesus's anguished cry on the cross, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' Why did this abandonment happen, what does it mean within the logic of the Gospels, how have believers and nonbelievers understood it, and how does it live on in art? With rare philological acuity and vast historical learning, Blumenberg unfolds context upon context in which this cry has reverberated, from early Christian apologetics and heretics to 20th-century literature and philosophy. Blumenberg's guide through this unending story of divine abandonment is Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental Matthäuspassion, the parabolic mirror that bundled 1800 years of reflection on the fate of the crucified and allows us post-Christian listeners to feel the anguish of those who witnessed the events of the Passion.

Modernity, from its beginnings, attributes a key role to passions: whether they are hostile to reason or on the contrary its allies, dangerous or fascinating, they mark the role of the body, desire, language and imagination. in the nature of man. The same period saw the development of different variants of materialism. Almost all of them reassess what classical reason tended to suppress or to regard as indicative of human weakness: the body and everything that, in the soul or in society, bears the traces of the activity and positivity of the human being. body.We can therefore expect that the materialists will do a particular fate to passions, that they recognise in them laws and not just lacks or vices, that they try to identify their effectiveness. in all human activities. We still have to ask ourselves how each materialism proceeds, by what specific configuration it accounts for these phenomena or how it deviates the discourse of classical theory to force them to pass through the objects that are its own.Rather than assuming the existence of a single materialist theory, an investigation is therefore necessary which takes into account the diversity of these authors, situates them in their context and identifies the points of inflection encountered in each of them. this general problematic of passions which seems to have governed several centuries.

Hysteria, one of the most diagnosed conditions in human history, is also one of the most problematic. Can it even be said to exist at all? Since the earliest medical texts people have had something to say about 'feminine complaints'. Over the centuries, theorisations of the root causes have lurched from the physiological to the psychological to the socio-political. Thanks to its dual association with femininity and with fakery, the notion of hysteria inevitably provokes questions about women, men, sex, bodies, minds, culture, happiness and unhappiness. To some, it may seem extraordinary that such a contested diagnosis could continue to merit any mention whatsoever.Hysteria Today is a collection of essays whose purpose is to reopen the case for hysteria and to see what relevance, if any, the term may have within contemporary clinical practice.

Fuir avant demain est un roman de l’écrivaine américaine Kay Boyle paru en 1932. Le lecteur est entrainé dans le récit aussi émouvant que lumineux d’une escapade tumultueuse et désespérée dans l’arrière-pays grassois, au milieu des années 20. Cette fiction autobiographique témoigne d’une époque littéraire façonnée par l’expérience de l’exil et tourmentée par le sentiment de sa finitude. Paru en français pour la première fois en 1937, le roman est réédité ici dans une nouvelle traduction, proposée par Anne Reynès-Delobel, qui permet d’apprécier toute l’intensité et l’élégance de la prose poétique de Boyle, romancière moderniste unique, amoureuse des mots et de la vie. Femme aux multiples visages, architecte, écrivain, mère de six enfants, mariée à trois reprises, Kay Boyle (1902-1992) est un personnage hors du commun.
