Brassaï. Paris de nuit

Utilizzando come nessun altro il nero profondo dell'eliotipia, in Paris la nuit il grande fotografo Brassaï ha fissato per sempre il mondo notturno della capitale negli anni Trenta. Una Ville Lumière misteriosa e al contempo molto reale, fatta di bassifondi e cabaret, clochard e aristocratici, ma anche di fornai, orto lani, guardie e stampatori di giornali... Brassaï considerava il biennio 1932-1933 il più importante della sua vita, poiché in quel periodo aveva incontrato Picasso, pubblicato questo volume e collaborato con la rivista surrealista Minotaure. Ma aggiungeva subito, quasi a voler prendere le distanze dal gruppo: ' Il surrealismo delle mie immagini non è altro che la realtà resa fantastica dallo sguardo. Io cercavo soltanto di esprimere il reale, perché nulla è più surreale... La mia ambizione è sempre stata far vedere un aspetto della vita quotidiana come se lo si scoprisse per la prima volta '. La poesia ipnotica di Paris la nuit, suo primo libro fotografico, esprime fedelmente questo credo nelle risorse inesauribili della quotidianità.

Paul Morand

Darling of the Jazz Age, the globe-trotting diplomat and acclaimed writer Paul Morand and his literary and political careers underwent a radical shift following his collaboration with the Vichy government during the Occupation of France. Abandoning the terse, glittering portraits of the contemporary era that had garnered him early fame, he turned to the past and to historical fiction, biography and autobiography.Paul Morand: The Politics and Practice of Writing in Post-War France, the first full-length study of Morand in English and the first ever of his post-war works, traces Morand's politically charged explorations of history as he obsessively rewrites the Occupation in historical guise.From Napoleonic Spain to the court of Louis XIV, nineteenth-century California, Revolutionary France and Venice across the ages, Morand probes the limits of historiography and genre as he constructs a curiously Benjaminian model of redemption for his collaborationist heroes. This book analyses Morand's post-war project, placing it within the highly-politicized context of writing during the de Gaullian era.Many issues are at stake in Morand's late oeuvre, from the genres of historical fiction, biography and autobiography, to the very act of historicization itself in the context of the post-war era. Morand's handling of these issues suggests that literature furnishes perhaps the best space within which the complex and highly political question of our ties to the past may be most tellingly examined.

Chroniques

Fût-il écrit à l'écart de son grand oeuvre, le moindre article offre à un écrivain l'occasion de tout révéler: son intelligence, son regard, ses convictions intimes et ce qui remplit sa boîte à outils. Dans ses chroniques, Paul Morand possède cette transparence essentielle. Pays, visages et souvenirs défilent sans que nous cessions de le rencontrer, immuable, presque immobile, revenu de tout pour aller plus vite ailleurs, sur une Terre incapable de le décharmer. J.-F. Fogel

The Philosophy of Homelessness

The Philosophy of Homelessness is borne out of a five-year ethnographic research project involving being with a group of chronically homeless people in Chester.A small city located in the northwest of the UK, Chester is economically supported by its heritage and the tourism that this attracts. In an obvious sense, the awkwardness of the phrase 'being with a group of chronically homeless people' is regrettable. Nevertheless, this unfortunately self-conscious phrase is significant, with its importance residing in the word and concept of 'being'.Whilst philosophical understandings of being are often thought about in rather abstract terms, The Philosophy of Homelessness explores the daily experience of chronic homelessness from a perspective that renders its ontological impress in ways that are explicitly felt, often in forms that are overtly political and exclusionary in character, especially in terms of identity and belonging within the city.Themes that emerge from the work, which coalesce around living in the margins of the city and experiencing only the shadow of the right to be, include: the economy of chronic addiction and its impact upon the body; the relationship between chronic homelessness and the law; and chronic homelessness and identity and desire. These themes are explored through a number of thinkers, though predominantly: Nietzsche, Lacan, Bourdieu and Kristeva.This work is likely to be of interest to anyone working in the fields of: criminology; sociology, especially those areas concerned with marginalised groups; and philosophy in its socially and politically engaged forms; as well as to those with an interest in homelessness.
