Que deviendrait Tintin, chevalier sans peur et sans reproche de la bande dessinée, si un album caché du grand Hergé le peignait sous les couleurs compromettantes d'un personnage hanté par de multiples démons ? Un héros encore plus passionnant que celui dont nous connaissons tous les aventures ! Dans un texte à la croisée de l'essai et du neuvième art, Jean- Philippe Coste propose de découvrir les idées insoupçonnées d'un contestataire grimé en bien-pensant qui, à mots subtilement couverts, renverse les hiérarchies traditionnelles et les valeurs dominantes. Politique, religion, science, féminité, pouvoir, autorité, races, aucun tabou ne sera épargné par la verve critique du plus roué - et du plus mal connu - des reporters vedettes. « Et si Hergé avait bel et bien composé un album fantôme à l'arrière-plan de ses récits ? Et si la créature du divin dessinateur n'était pas une icône immaculée mais un aventurier en clair-obscur ? Et si le dernier message de Rastapopoulos nous mettait valablement en garde contre la duplicité d'un héros trop peu contesté ? Assez de vaines suppositions, tirons cette affaire au clair. »

Narcisme mag dan van alle tijden zijn, in onze laatmoderne mentaliteit is het springlevender dan ooit. Geen wonder dus dat het thema ook vandaag nog tot reflectie noopt. In Narcissus revisited: van Shelley tot Fleabag buigt een keur van essayisten zich over dit onderwerp, en wel door, elk vanuit een eigen specialisme, in te zoomen op een specifieke uiting ervan in domeinen als literatuur, film, televisieserie, filosofie en psychoanalytische praktijk. Telkens wordt nagegaan hoe ‘narcisme’ daar ofwel wordt gethematiseerd ofwel, ongethematiseerd, toch een rol van belang speelt.

Virtue, Narrative, and Self connects two philosophical areas of study that have long been treated as distinct: virtue theory and narrative accounts of personal identity. Chapters address several important issues and neglected themes at the intersection of these research areas. Specific examples include the role of narrative in the identification, differentiation, and cultivationof virtue, the nature of practical reasoning and moral competence, and the influence of life's narrative structure on our conceptions of what it means to live and act well. This volume demonstrates how recent work from the philosophy of mind and action concerning narrativity and our understanding of the self can shed new light on questions about the nature of virtue, practical wisdom, and human flourishing. This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in virtue theory, moral philosophy, philosophy of mind and action, andmoral education.
