Dans toute l'histoire du prix Nobel, deux hommes seulement ont pris la décision — libre, assumée, publique — de refuser l'une des distinctions les plus prestigieuses au monde : Jean-Paul Sartre en 1964 et Lê Duc Tho en 1973. Deux refus très différents, mais qui disent chacun quelque chose d'essentiel sur leur époque et sur leurs convictions.Le premier à franchir ce pas radical est Jean-Paul Sartre, philosophe et écrivain français, figure majeure de l'existentialisme. En 1964, l'Académie suédoise lui décerne le prix Nobel de littérature pour l'ensemble de son œuvre. La réaction de Sartre est immédiate : il refuse le prix. Non par modestie, mais par principe. Sartre a toujours refusé les distinctions officielles, estimant que l'écrivain doit rester libre, non récupéré par le pouvoir, les institutions ou la notoriété. Pour lui, accepter un prix comme le Nobel reviendrait à « devenir une institution », ce qui contredisait son engagement politique et intellectuel.Il avait d'ailleurs prévenu l'Académie, avant même l'annonce, qu'il ne souhaitait pas être nommé. Cela ne change rien : il est proclamé lauréat malgré lui. Sartre refuse alors publiquement, dans un geste retentissant. Ce refus est souvent perçu comme l'expression ultime d'une cohérence : l'écrivain engagé qui refuse d'être couronné. Ce geste, unique dans l'histoire de la littérature, marque durablement la réputation du philosophe, admiré ou critiqué pour son intransigeance.Neuf ans plus tard, c'est au tour de Lê Duc Tho, dirigeant vietnamien et négociateur lors des Accords de Paris, de refuser le prix Nobel de la paix. Le prix lui est attribué conjointement avec l'Américain Henry Kissinger pour les négociations qui auraient dû mettre fin à la guerre du Vietnam. Mais pour Lê Duc Tho, il n'y a pas de paix à célébrer. Les hostilités se poursuivent, les bombardements aussi. Refuser le Nobel devient alors un acte politique : il déclare ne pouvoir accepter un prix de la paix tant que la paix n'est pas réellement obtenue.Contrairement à Sartre, son refus n'est pas motivé par un principe personnel, mais par une analyse de la situation géopolitique. Son geste est moins philosophique que stratégique, mais tout aussi historique. Il reste le seul lauréat de la paix à avoir décliné le prix.Ces deux refus, rares et spectaculaires, rappellent que le prix Nobel, pourtant considéré comme l'une des plus hautes distinctions humaines, peut devenir un terrain d'expression politique ou morale. Sartre par conviction, Lê Duc Tho par cohérence historique : deux gestes, deux époques, deux refus qui ont marqué l'histoire du prix. Hébergé par Acast.

En mild borgerlig intellektuell psykiatriker och en militant ideolog som glorifierade revolutionära bönder. Farshid Jalalvand funderar över Frantz Fanons motsägelser. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Det är ramadan i maj 1955 i Algeriet, och Frantz Fanon, överläkare i psykiatri vid Blida-Joinville-sjukhuset. sitter i sin bil och tänder en cigarett. Samtidigt som han drar sitt första bloss märker han hur en okänd man närmar sig bilen. ”Släck ciggen om du inte vill få allvarliga problem”, varnar främlingen på arabiska. Den algeriska självständighetsrörelsen FLN hade nyligen uppmanat till bojkott av tobaksvaror producerade i kolonialmakten Frankrike. Den som bröt mot det riskerade att få näsan avskuren – eller något ännu värre.Man skulle kunna tro att en sådan brysk tillrättavisning skulle uppfattas som hotfull eller kränkande. Men för Fanon, en kulturellt fransk västindisk läkare som hade sökt sig till Algeriet på grund av bristande karriärmöjligheter i Frankrike, blev den istället en livsomvälvande positiv vändpunkt. Den främmande mannen hade misstagit den svarte Fanon för en av sina – det var nämligen bara algerier som omfattades av cigarettförbudet. För en vän berättade han senare: ”Jag kände att jag hade blivit tilltalad som en av de egna”. För en person som under hela sitt vuxna liv hade känt sig alienerad från samhället blev detta inlemmande i en gemenskap ett huvudskäl till att han strax därefter anslöt sig till den algeriska självständighetsrörelsen.Det är otroligt vad den Andres blick kan göra med en.Frantz Fanon var född och uppvuxen i en välbärgad borgerlig familj i den franska kolonin Martinique. Under andra världskriget for den unge idealisten över Atlanten och anslöt han sig som volontär till den franska befrielsearmén för att kämpa mot nazisterna. Han blev allvarligt sårad i strid, mottog medalj för uppvisat mod, och fick som belöning för sin krigstjänstgöring studera valfri utbildning i Frankrike efter kriget. Han bestämde sig för att plugga till läkare vid det framstående universitetet i Lyon. Men studietiden blev inte som förväntad. Den inskränkthet och rasism han mötte i Frankrike utgjorde bakgrund till hans klassiska studie i rasismens psykologi – ”Svart hud, vita masker”. Ett av flera tongivande verk han författade under sitt korta men händelsefulla liv, innan han dog i leukemi, bara 36 år gammal.Det mest inflytelserika av dessa verk – ”Jordens fördömda”, med förord av Sartre – är ett stridsrop för de koloniserades väpnade kamp mot kolonialmakter världen över. Boken färdigställdes i exil i Tunis, delvis genom diktamen av den svårt cancersjuke Fanon. Då hade han sedan länge tvingats lämna Algeriet, efter att ha kritiserat kolonialmaktens förtryck av araber och berber. Han hade blivit FLN:s internationella talesperson och redaktör för rörelsens tidning. Hans liv kan på många sätt betraktas som en serie av motsägelser: den milda psykiatrikern som var en militant ideolog, den karibiske fransmannen som blev en talesperson för en arabisk revolutionär rörelse, den borgerliga intellektuelle som framförallt glorifierade revolutionära bönder.Men det är en annan motsägelse jag fastnar för. Eller kanske ingen motsägelse, men en händelse som kan ses som den raka motsatsen till incidenten med cigaretten, men som på samma sätt kom att prägla honom i grunden.William Shatz berättar i biografin ”The Rebels Clinic” hur Fanon som ung läkarstudent blev utpekad av en liten, vit pojke på tåget i Lyon. “Titta mamma, en négre. Mamma, mamma, le négre kommer att äta upp mig!” Pojken – genomsyrad av alla de koloniala fördomarna om vilda kannibaler – skakade av rädsla. Fanon skrev om händelsen i ”Svart hud, vita masker”: “Jag fick tillbaka min kropp utfläkt, sönderdelad […] All denna vithet som förbränner mig. Jag slår mig ner vid elden och upptäcker min hud. Jag hade inte sett den förut.” När barnets mamma försökte släta över situationen genom att högt säga “titta vilken vacker négre”, svarade Fanon trotsigt: “den vackra négren ber er dra åt helvete, madame!” För någon som längtade efter att bli sedd som en medborgare bland andra, blev den tvångsmässiga fixeringen vid hans hud ett ständigt blödande sår; beviset på att han aldrig skulle kunna undfly stigmat av sin pigmentering.Jean Paul Sartre, en av Fanons främsta inspirationskällor, hade tidigare skrivit om hur juden först blir varse sin judenhet – i bemärkelsen något negativt utmärkande – i mötet med antisemiten. Simone de Beauvoir hade skrivit de kända orden: “man föds inte till kvinna, man blir det”. Nu kunde Fanon addera den koloniala upplevelsen till existentialismens teoribygge: Den svarta människan, berövad sin mänsklighet och individualitet, blir först “svart” i mötet med den icke-svarta blicken, reducerad till en ansiktslös medlem av en flock vildar.Ett sätt att sammanfatta dessa betraktelser är att ens identitet skapas i förhållande till den Andre.Vem är algerier? Vem är svart? Vem är kvinna? Vem är svensk?Om vi ska tro existentialisterna handlar inte identitet om hur någon känner sig inombords, utan om hur hon blir sedd av andra. Individen står maktlös inför sin egen identitet, och i förlängningen därmed sin egen plats på jorden. Det är en fruktansvärd sanning. En sanning som lägger ett stort ansvar på oss som medmänniskor.Idén har sitt ursprung i Hegels herre-slav-dialektik. I “Andens fenomenologi” skriver den tyska filosofen att ett självmedvetande endast uppstår i relation till ett annat. När två medvetande möts uppstår en maktkamp, där den ena till slut blir herre och den andra slav. Eftersom det är bättre att vara något än inget, finner sig slaven i uppgörelsen. Herren och slaven ställs i en ömsesidig beroenderelation – de behöver varandras blickar för att på ett plan ens existera.Det är en mer fundamental form av alienering än vad man finner i den mer social- och samhällstillvända filosofin hos Sartre, de Beauvoir och Fanon. Men vår beroendeställning till den Andres blick är intakt.”Helvetet, det är de andra”, som det konstateras i en av Sartres pjäser.För det är en blick som kan fläka sönder, bränna och förringa, som i fallet med pojken på tåget. Men det är också en blick som kan lyfta, stärka och inkludera som i berättelsen om den varnande algeriern. Både alienation – och dess ljuva motsats, gemenskap – är relationella fenomen. Alla blir vi till genom hur vi ses i kärleksrelationer, hur vi uppfattas av våra närstående, och hur vi blir betraktade i offentligheten.Existentialisternas idéer om individens ansvar har sedan länge sprungits om av strukturalistiska och poststrukturalistiska förklaringsmodeller. Men det finns i min mening all anledning att återvända till dem. En välvillig blick är förvisso det första steget även i en strukturell förvandling. Men ännu viktigare: Varje människa har – genom sin blick – makt, och därmed ett moraliskt ansvar. Hur vi väljer att använda det kan förändra ett liv, en plats, en värld.Farshid Jalalvandmikrobiolog, skribent och författareLitteraturAdam Shatz: The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon.

Jake Romm joins the podcast to explain why anti-semitism and zionism have more in common than separates them. In this conversation we discuss the work of mid-century thinkers such as Jean Paul Sartre, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, as well recent scholarship from Nadia Abu El-Haj and the writing of Palestinian political prisoners, to better understand the many consistencies between anti-semitic and zionist ideology. This conversation draws on two of Jake's recent essays ('Elements of Anti-Semitism' and 'Idée Fixe' both published in Parapraxis Magazine) and references a short course he recently ran with the Psychosocial Foundation titled Zionism as an Antisemitism. Jake Romm is a writer and human rights lawyer based in Brooklyn.

Thinking of the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, it is hard to think of him without imagining him in very particular contexts. One will likely imagine him in a Parisian cafe working through a pack of cigarettes and coffee, working on his latest play while waiting for his friend Pierre to arrive. His theories of freedom against the temptations of bad faith are thought to be theories of writers and activists, resisters of occupation. But while this is no doubt a central part of his thinking, it misses another context he was very much interested in: the clinic. While he was not an orthodox Freudian or trained analyst, he was deeply interested in many of the questions that psychoanalysts are also interested in, and this intersection proved to be very productive, generating thousands of pages of lesser known works. This is what Mary Edwards, philosophy lecturer at Cardiff University, has written about in her new book Sartre's Existential Psychoanalysis: Knowing Others (Bloomsbury, 2022). Working through Sartre's output from beginning to end, it first sets the stage with his early claims about the nature of the self and the possibility of knowing a person. From there, it works to his later works, in particular his voluminous yet unfinished biography of Gustave Flaubert, where Edwards finds Sartre developing and applying a very particular method of understanding a person while nonetheless maintaining a respect for their free nature. While Sartre never completed his intended project, Edwards finds his attempt suggestive for rethinking life both in and beyond the clinic. Learn more about your ad choices.

We explore how both thinkers help us understand the systemic nature of racism, the power of language in maintaining or challenging colonial systems, and Fanon's vision of a new humanism.Tyrique shares how his Caribbean background shapes his philosophical journey and how Fanon reworked Sartre's existentialism to illuminate what it means to become fully human in a world structured by domination.

Zwischen Selbstwahl und Selbstoptimierung«Ich bin nicht Stiller.» Mit diesem Satz hat uns Max Frisch einen der stärksten Romananfänge beschert. Zugleich hat er eine Losung ausgegeben: Ich lasse mir von der Gesellschaft nicht vorschreiben, wer ich bin. Als der Roman 1954 erschien, stand Stiller für eine radikale Wende. Die Erfahrung der totalitären Gesellschaft in Nazideutschland und im faschistischen Italien und Spanien steckte den Menschen noch in den Gliedern. Es stellte sich die Frage: Wie kann ein Mensch in einer solchen Gesellschaft er selbst sein? Für Max Frisch und seine Zeitgenossen war klar: Die kollektiven Identitätsentwürfe hatten versagt. Nation, Klasse und Religion taugten nicht mehr als Kompass. In dieses Vakuum stösst Jean-Paul Sartre vor mit einem Satz wie ein Trompetenstoss: «L'homme n'est rien d'autre que ce qu'il se fait.» – «Der Mensch ist nichts anderes als das, wozu er sich macht.» Sartre macht das Individuum zum Schöpfer seiner selbst. Er trägt die Verantwortung, sich selbst zu wählen. Genau das tut Stiller, stösst dabei aber auf den Widerstand der Gesellschaft um ihn herum, die ihr Bild von ihm nicht ändern will. Heute, siebzig Jahre nach Stiller, hat sich die Frage verschoben. Nicht mehr die Selbstwahl steht im Zentrum, sondern die Selbstoptimierung. Die Aufforderung lautet nicht mehr: «Werde, was du bist!», sondern: «Werde besser, in dem, was du tust!» Doch wie sollen wir uns optimieren, wenn wir nicht wissen, wer wir sind?Matthias Zehnder ist Autor und Medienwissenschaftler in Basel.

En este episodio de Podcast UR conversamos con Diego Barragán, Director Artístico del Teatro Libre, sobre su montaje de Muertos sin sepultura de Jean-Paul Sartre, una obra escrita en el contexto de la Francia ocupada que explora la libertad, la resistencia y la condición humana en medio de la violencia y la tortura. Hacemos un paralelo entre el momento histórico que vivió Sartre y los retos que enfrenta Colombia hoy, reflexionando sobre el papel del teatro como espacio de memoria, ética y compromiso social. Una conversación profunda que invita a cuestionar lo que somos cuando la historia nos exige elegir y resistir.Para adquirir entradas y conocer más sobre la programación del Teatro Libre, visita: https://teatrolibre.com

Never trust anyone who tries to be ethically pure. This is the message of Albert Camus's short novel La Chute (The Fall), in which a retired French lawyer tells a stranger in a bar in Amsterdam about a series of incidents that led to a profound personal crisis. The self-described ‘judge-penitent' had once thought himself to be morally irreproachable, but an encounter with a woman on a bridge and a mysterious laugh left him tormented by a sense of hypocrisy. In this episode, Jonathan and James follow Camus's slippery hero as he tries and fails to undergo a moral revolution, and look at the ways in which the novel's lightness of style allows for twisted inversions of conventional morality. They also consider the similarities between Camus's novels and those of Simone de Beauvoir, and his fractious relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre.

Gabriella Belli"Vedova Tintoretto. In dialogo"Palazzo Madama, Torinowww.palazzomadamatorino.itFino al 12 gennaio 2026 Palazzo Madama – Museo Civico d'Arte Antica di Torino e la Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova di Venezia presentano la mostra “Vedova Tintoretto. In dialogo” a cura di Gabriella Belli e Giovanni Carlo Federico Villa. Un eccezionale percorso espositivo concepito per accostare l'arte di due grandi pittori veneziani, ciascuno tra i massimi interpreti della propria epoca – Jacomo Robusti detto il Tintoretto (Venezia, 1518-1594) ed Emilio Vedova (Venezia, 1919-2006) – letti in parallelo, così da affrontare lo sviluppo dell'opera di Vedova nel suo confronto con quello che è stato il maestro d'elezione, indagando similitudini e temi consonanti (o dissonanti) alla base delle singole scelte espressive.Tintoretto è stato fondativo per la formazione artistica di Vedova e la mostra a Palazzo Madama sottolinea l'impeto e la forza dell'articolato rapporto che lega i due artisti attraverso l'accostamento di capolavori del maestro rinascimentale e dell'artista informale. Il progetto dell'esposizione prende avvio dalla straordinaria opportunità di ospitare a Torino una delle opere conclusive, e paradigmatiche, della parabola umana e artistica di Tintoretto: l'Autoritratto del 1588, in prestito dal Musée du Louvre. Una tela che è stata più di un modello iconografico, rappresentando, come si evince dalle interpretazioni di Edouard Manet – che la replica e la considera il più bel quadro al mondo – e dagli scritti di Jean-Paul Sartre, una sorta di identificazione poetica e concettuale per molti artisti.  Tintoretto è infatti l'interprete di una narrazione pittorica capace di arrivare al nostro tempo mettendo insieme “Il disegno di Michelangelo, e il colorito di Tiziano”, esaltato nel corso dei secoli dal genio romantico dell'inglese Ruskin (1819-1900) – “non sono mai stato così completamente annichilito di fronte a una mente umana come lo sono stato oggi, di fronte a Tintoretto” – e dalle penne di Goethe, Stendhal o Henry James. Scriveva Emilio Vedova rispetto al suo grande maestro: “Tintoretto è stato una mia identificazione. Quello spazio appunto una sede di accadimenti. Quella regia a ritmi sincopati e cruenti, magmatici di energie di fondi interni di passioni di emotività commossa (…)”E per Vedova Tintoretto è la quotidianità di una consuetudine con Chiese, Scuole e Palazzi di Venezia in cui cercare e trovare il proprio Maestro, l'unico che gli rivela il segreto per trasformare la tecnica da merostrumento espressivo di belle forme in una lama affilata capace di incidere nella storia. Da lui Vedova trae ispirazione per temi e contenuti, ricava basilari insegnamenti per dominare lo spazio della tela, tradurre in colore la luce delle sue composizioni, modellare nel gesto rapido senza esitazioni le forme, che scaturiscono dal suo nuovo segno, che già nel 1948 lascia ogni tentazione figurativa per risolversi nell'astrazione. Giungendo infine alla sequenza indimenticabile dell'opera …in continuum, compenetrazioni/traslati '87/'88 riprova di quanto l'incontro di una vita abbia reso grande anche il discepolo, gli abbia offerto lo slancio necessario per andare oltre. La mostra Vedova Tintoretto. In dialogo, allestita nell'Aula del Senato del Regno d'Italia, presenta una cinquantina di capolavori tra tele di Emilio Vedova e opere di Tintoretto quali le clamorose ancone dei Camerlenghi, straordinario prestito dalle Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia o, ancora, alcune delle opere del celeberrimo ciclo delle Metamorfosi ora conservate alle Gallerie Estensi di Modena. Il serrato dialogo tra i due artisti si sviluppa a partire dai disegni giovanili di Vedova del 1936 passando per le tele degli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta dedicate alla riflessione su dipinti di Tintoretto quali la Moltiplicazione dei pani e dei pesci (da Tintoretto) (1942), La crocifissione (da Tintoretto) (1947), (studio da Sogno di San Marco di Tintoretto) (1956), e a quelle degli anni Ottanta. A completare il dialogo e l'esposizione è Vedova con la monumentale installazione …in continuum, compenetrazione/traslati '87/'88: più di cento grandi tele, assemblate le une con le altre in uno sviluppo che sfiderà la verticalità della sala del Senato, testimonianza dell'evoluzione di Vedova che continua con potenza visionaria il suo confronto col maestro ideale.Catalogo della mostra "Vedova Tintoretto.

Institucionalizované odmilování: Co o nás vypovídají rozvody

Rozvod jako „institucionalizovaná forma ne-lásky“ otevírá staré napětí mezi svobodou a věrností. Jean-Paul Sartre vidí v lásce „marnou vášeň“ – touhu být pro druhého vším, a zároveň odpor k omezení, které tato touha nevyhnutelně přináší. Gabriel Marcel naproti tomu chápe věrnost jako odvahu zůstat: není to pouto, ale tvořivá schopnost stát se tím, kdo dokáže závazek, do něhož vstoupil, naplnit.Sociologické výzkumy ukazují, že toto dilema proniklo hluboko do struktury společnosti. Rozvádí se zhruba třetina manželství a přibývá i takzvaných „šedivých rozvodů“, tedy rozchodů po padesátce. Eva Illouzová interpretuje tuto vysokou míru tolerance vůči rozvodům jako důsledek „emočního kapitalismu“, v němž se i intimní vztahy řídí logikou trhu a maximalizací pocitů. K růstu rozvodovosti podle ní přispívá i terapeutická kultura, která nás učí ze sebe uvolňovat stále nové vrstvy potlačených emocí, verbalizovat je a žádat pro ně uznání. Naše pozornost k minulým i současným zraněním je pak často silnější než pozornost k vztahu samému. Ten se dříve či později začne jevit jako neudržitelný – a rozvod nikoli jako katastrofa, ale jako jedna z forem seberealizace.Jenže sebevědomí získané terapeutickými cestami může být klamné; a ekonomická i emocionální cena, často přenesená na děti, vysoká. O tom hovoří již padesát let v německy mluvícím prostoru rakouská právnička Helene Klaarová, označovaná za „nejobávanější rozvodovou advokátku“. Ta tvrdí, že de facto všem, kteří k ní přicházejí, radí, aby rozvod přehodnotili. Existují jen dvě výjimky: násilí nebo psychosomatické potíže v důsledku vztahu. A když se jí novináři ptají, zda doporučuje párovou terapii, odpovídá bez váhání: „Ne. Jako příslušník osmašedesátníků doporučuji manželský sex před manželskou poradnou. O tom, že je to prospěšnější, nemám za ty roky žádný důvod pochybovat.“KapitolyI. Věrnost? Nerealizovatelná [úvod až 20:00]II. Krátké dějiny rozvodu [20:00 až 30:05]III. Člověk, marná vášeň?

De Nouy found that, on an average, the time needed to form one such molecule of our terrestrial globe would be about 10 to the 253 power, i.e. billions of years. "But," continued de Nouy ironically, "let us admit that no matter how small the chance it could happen, one molecule could be created by such astronomical odds of chance. However, one molecule is of no use. Hundreds of millions of identical ones are necessary. Thus we either admit the miracle or doubt the absolute truth of science." Quoted in; "Is Science Moving Toward Belief in God?" Paul A. Fisher, The Wanderer, (Nov 7, 1985), cited in Kingdoms In Conflict, C. Colson, p. 66. Near the end of his life, Jean-Paul Sartre told Pierre Victor: "I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to God." HIS Magazine, April, 1983. It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything. G.K. Chesterton The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its source. A.W. Tozer God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them. He creates the universe, already foreseeing - or should we say "seeing"? there are no tenses in God - the buzzing cloud of flies about the cross, the flayed back pressed against the uneven stake, the nails driven through the mesial nerves, the repeated incipient suffocation as the body droops, the repeated torture of back and arms as it is time after time, for breath's sake, hitched up. If I may dare the biological image, God is a "host" who deliberately creates His own parasites; causes us to be that we may exploit and "take advantage of" Him. Herein is love. This is the diagram of Love Himself, the inventor of all loves. C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

The difficulty of Jacques Lacan's thought is notorious. The Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan cuts through this difficulty to provide a clear, jargon-free approach to understanding it. The book describes Lacan's life, the context from which he emerged, and the reception of his theory. Readers will come away with an understanding of concepts such as jouissance, the objet a, and the big Other. The book frames Lacan's thought in the history of philosophy and explains it through jokes, films, and popular culture. In this light, Lacan becomes a thinker of philosophical importance in his own right, on a par with Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Lacan's great contribution is the introduction of the unconscious into subjectivity, which results in a challenge to both the psychoanalytic establishment and to philosophers. The Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan provides readers with a way of understanding the nature of Lacan's contribution. Todd McGowan teaches theory and film at the University of Vermont. He is the author of Embracing Alienation, The Racist Fantasy, Emancipation After Hegel, Capitalism and Desire, and Only a Joke Can Save Us, among other books.

What is an emotion? In his Sketches for a Theory of the Emotions (1939), Sartre picks up what William James, Martin Heidegger and others had written about this question to suggest what he believed to be a new thought on human emotion and its relation to consciousness. For Sartre, the emotions are not external forces acting upon consciousness but an action of consciousness as it tries to rearrange the world to suit itself, or as he puts it at the end of his book: a sudden fall of consciousness into magic. In this episode Jonathan and James discuss why Sartre's rejection of the idea of the subconscious is not as much a departure from Freud's theories as he thought they were, and the ways in which his attempt to establish a ‘phenomenological psychology' manifested in other works, including Nausea, Being and Nothingness and The Words. Note: Readers should use the translation by Philip Mairet. The earlier one by Bernard Frechtman, as Jonathan explains in the episode, contains numerous (often amusing) errors.

Der Klimawandel, das Patriarchat, die Überidentifikation mit der eigenen Arbeit: In vielen ihrer Texte geht Nina Kunz Themen nach, die ein Unbehagen in ihr auslösen. Sie zu schreiben, sei wie das Lösen eines schwierigen Kreuzworträtsels. Sich selbst als Autorin zu bezeichnen, war für Nina Kunz ein langer Prozess. Obwohl sie bereits seit ihren frühen Zwanzigern ihr Geld mit dem Schreiben verdient – unter anderem als Kolumnistin für «Das Magazin» – brauchte es einen Bestseller, bis sie sich traute, sich selbst diese Bezeichnung anzuheften: «Ich denk, ich denk zu viel» ist im März 2021 bei «Kein & Aber» erschienen und besteht aus einer Sammlung von dreissig Texten, in denen Kunz sich mit ihrem eigenen Erleben, ihren Gedanken, sowie jeder Menge Sekundärliteratur auseinandersetzt, von Jean-Paul Sartre über Roxanne Gay bis zum US-amerikanischen Linguisten William Labov. Aufgewachsen ist Nina Kunz mitten in der Stadt Zürich, im Kreis 4. In «Musik für einen Gast» erinnert sie sich daran, wie sie als Kind auf einer Pingpongtischplatte sass und sich die Scherben aus den Fusssohlen zog, wie sie mit ihren Freundinnen Choreografien zu «Tic Tac Toe» einstudierte und wie sie als Jugendliche die «Bar Italia» in London besuchte; ein Ort, der die englische Rockband «Pulp» zu einem Stück inspiriert hat.

Dans une nouvelle édition de « Histoire et dialectique de la violence », un des grands livres de Raymond Aron, paru en 1973 (Calmann-Levy), la philosophe et professeure de philosophie, Perrine Simon-Nahum revient sur l'opposition des deux intellectuels. Au micro de Pierre-Édouard Deldique, elle explique les divergences entre deux grands esprits du XXè siècle et montre que, finalement, il vaut mieux avoir raison avec Aron que tort avec Sartre...  Nés la même année 1905, condisciples à l'École normale de la rue d'Ulm, Aron et Sartre ont noué leur amitié dans l'étude des grands textes de la philosophie et l'horizon de la montée des régimes autoritaires du XXème siècle. Pourtant, leurs chemins philosophiques divergent dès la fin des années 1930. Aron pressent le déclenchement de la guerre quand Sartre se projette dans la figure du grand écrivain.  La rupture va être consommée au début des années 1950.  Les deux philosophes s'opposent sur l'interprétation du marxisme et la question du sens de l'histoire. Aron reconnaît le génie de l'écrivain Sartre, mais il ne ménage pas ses critiques à l'égard de sa philosophie. « Histoire et Dialectique de la violence », résultat du grand cours qu'il consacre treize ans après sa parution en 1960 à la Critique de la raison dialectique, le dernier grand ouvrage philosophique de Sartre, marque le point d'orgue de ce « dialogue » philosophique. Ce livre de Raymond Aron est au cœur de ce nouveau numéro d'IDÉES.  Perrine Simon-Nahum, directrice de recherches au CNRS et professeure attachée au département de Philosophie de l'ENS-Ulm, restitue le cadre de ces débats et éclaire toute leur actualité.   Programmation musicale : Yeliz Trio : Artvax ; Winter Journey.

In episode 17 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Ajay and Isi once again find themselves in the regrettable position of praising the Walt Disney Company. After chatting about recent cultural highlights (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a 40th anniversary screening of Kurosawa's Ran, and a Criterion retrospective on Johnnie To), they consider the popular and critical success of Andor's second season, and ask what it means to describe a pop cultural text as “politically timely.” Their conversation turns to extratextual ecosystems (press junkets, interviews), Gilroy's deep engagement with cinematic depictions of fascism and rebellion (Army of Shadows, The Conformist), architecture and costume design, season 2 high points (the Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma's Senate speech), the politics of revolutionary alliances, and imperial bureaucracy. Finally, they consider how the show makes the transition—narratively, visually, musically—into the lore-dense timeline of Rogue One and A New Hope, and ponder its uncharacteristically fascistic final scene.

Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître, oui, Jean-Paul Sartre a bien connu une obsession pour les crustacés, et plus précisément pour les homards. Mais il ne s'agit pas là d'un goût culinaire ou d'une fascination philosophique : cette obsession trouve son origine dans une expérience hallucinogène, vécue par le philosophe dans les années 1930.À cette époque, Sartre s'intéresse de près aux états modifiés de conscience. Dans un cadre semi-expérimental, il accepte de consommer de la mescaline, un puissant psychotrope extrait de cactus comme le peyotl, utilisé traditionnellement par certaines tribus amérindiennes. La substance est connue pour provoquer des hallucinations visuelles et des distorsions sensorielles intenses.Peu de temps après cette expérience, Sartre est victime d'hallucinations récurrentes. Il voit apparaître, autour de lui, des homards qui le suivent dans la rue, l'attendent dans les couloirs, surgissent dans son champ de vision. Il en parlera comme de "crabes", ou de "grosses bêtes aux pinces", qui deviennent une présence quasi constante, parfois intrusive, parfois presque familière.Loin de disparaître avec le temps, ces visions persistent plusieurs semaines après la prise de mescaline. Sartre, alors âgé d'environ 30 ans, s'en amuse parfois, mais en garde une certaine inquiétude. Il confiera plus tard à Simone de Beauvoir, puis à des journalistes, que ces créatures semblaient l'accompagner dans ses déplacements — une sorte de délire visuel lucide, dont il avait conscience, mais qu'il ne pouvait totalement maîtriser.Dans une interview donnée à John Gerassi dans les années 1970, Sartre expliquera avec humour :"J'ai vu des homards pendant longtemps. Ils m'accompagnaient partout. Je savais bien qu'ils n'étaient pas réels… mais ils étaient là."Cette anecdote étrange n'a rien d'un délire permanent ou pathologique. Elle montre plutôt la curiosité de Sartre pour les frontières de la perception, la nature de la conscience, et la subjectivité. Des thèmes qu'il explorera d'ailleurs dans La Nausée ou L'Imaginaire, où le trouble de la réalité occupe une place centrale.Aujourd'hui, cet épisode est devenu presque légendaire. Il illustre le côté expérimental et audacieux de Sartre, qui n'hésita pas à mettre son esprit à l'épreuve pour mieux comprendre ce qu'il appelait "l'existence pure".Alors oui, Sartre fut bien escorté par des crustacés… du moins dans sa tête.--------------------Vous cherchez des récits inspirants de course à pied ?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), who was part of the movement known as phenomenology. While less well-known than his contemporaries Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, his popularity has increased among philosophers in recent years. Merleau-Ponty rejected Rene Descartes' division between body and mind, arguing that the way we perceive the world around us cannot be separated from our experience of inhabiting a physical body. Merleau-Ponty was interested in the down-to-earth question of what it is actually like to live in the world. While performing actions as simple as brushing our teeth or patting a dog, we shape the world and, in turn, the world shapes us.

How do we fight back against the broligarchs? Journalist Gil Durán, of the must-read newsletters Nerd Reich and FrameLab, shows the way, in this week's Gaslit Nation.    Jean-Paul Sartre's famous line, “Hell is other people,” from his play No Exit, written in Nazi-occupied France, captured a grievance that mirrored the era's ideological clashes—fascism, communism, and isolationism, often overlapping and competing, fueling Stalin's genocides, the Holocaust, and World War II. The solution to sharing society with others, it seemed, was elimination: kill them.    This is why democracies rely on tolerance—you don't have to like my existence, but you must let me exist in peace. Yet today's tech oligarchs, having amassed unimaginable wealth, would rather invest billions in creating tech colonies and new religions to justify mass murder, enslavement, and C.E.O. king fiefdoms than address world hunger, provide free education, and strengthen social safety nets. Their vision isn't coexistence—they're building an anti-empathy billionaire bunker cult.    Gil Durán, a San Francisco journalist and former editorial page editor of The Sacramento Bee and The San Francisco Examiner, has a front-row view of the rise of the broligarchs, analyzing their fascist justifications for cruelty in his popular newsletter, Nerd Reich. Durán spent over a decade in California politics, serving as chief communications strategist for Governor Jerry Brown, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Attorney General Kamala Harris. His work has appeared in The New Republic, Esquire, and PBS. He co-founded Framelab, a newsletter on politics, language, and the brain, with Dr. George Lakoff. Most importantly we discuss: how do we defeat the Nerd Reich and the Vichy Democrats?    This week's bonus for our Patreon subscribers at the Truth-teller level and higher continues with Gil Durán of Nerd Reich, examining Democratic leaders as controlled opposition—public allies secretly serving the oligarchs.
