This rich and remarkable volume offers an overview of the most important schools, movements and trends which make up the theoretical landscape of contemporary international law, as well as the works of over 500 authors. It moves beyond generalization and examines how the relevant literature deals with the basic issues of the international legal system, such as international obligations, legitimacy, compliance, unity and universality, the rule of law, human rights, use of force and economics. It offers insights into the addressees (the state, international organizations, individuals and other private persons), and the construction of international law, including law-making, the relationship between norms, and interpretation. Moreover, it widens the discourse by addressing old, yet enduring, as well as new concerns about the functioning of the international legal system, and presents views of non-international lawyers and political scientists regarding that system. It is a valuable analysis for researchers, students, and practitioners.
Merleau-Ponty has long been known as one of the most important philosophers of aesthetics, yet most discussions of his aesthetics focus on visual art. This book corrects that balance by turning to Merleau-Ponty's extensive engagement with literature. From Proust, Merleau-Ponty developed his conception of “sensible ideas,” from Claudel, his conjoining of birth and knowledge as “co-naissance,” from Valéry came “implex” or the “animal of words” and the “chiasma of two destinies.” Literature also provokes the questions of expression, metaphor, and truth and the meaning of a Merleau-Pontian poetics. The poetic of Merleau-Ponty is, the book argues, a poetic of the flesh, a poetic of mystery, and a poetic of the visible in its relation to the invisible. Ultimately, theoretical figures or “figuratives” that appear at the threshold between philosophy and literature enable the possibility of a new ontology. What is at stake is the very meaning of philosophy itself and its mode of expression.

En 2016, le succès public et critique rencontré par Elle a remis Paul Verhoeven sur le devant de la scène internationale. Le cinéaste néerlandais raconte son parcours dans cet entretien exhaustif réalisé chez lui, à La Haye. Il évoque ses controverses et ses succès, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone et Isabelle Huppert, la Hollande et Hollywood, le triomphe de Basic Instinct et l'échec de Showgirls, la liberté de Starship Troopers et la vitesse de Black Book... Il revient sur ce qui le lie aux femmes - plus qu'aux hommes -, sur sa passion pour Jésus et pour Jean Moulin, ainsi que sur ses nombreux projets de films. Cet entretien est précédé d'un essai d'Emmanuel Burdeau portant sur l'ensemble de l'oeuvre de Paul Verhoeven.
Il n’a jamais gagné d’oscar et n’a pas toujours obtenu les faveurs du public. Sa filmographie est courte et inégale. Pourtant, nombre de cinéphiles et de grands cinéastes actuels - comme Tarantino ou Scorsese - se réclament de Sam Peckinpah. Cet ouvrage écrit par des critiques internationaux traverse toute son œuvre. De longs textes reviennent chronologiquement sur les films répartis en trois périodes : De New Mexico à Major Dundee (1961-1965) par Chris Fujiwara, de La Horde sauvage à Pat Garrett et Billy le Kid (1969-1973) par Emmanuel Burdeau et d’Apportez-moi la tête d’Alfredo Garcia à Osterman week-end (1974-1983) par Christoph Huber. À cela viennent s’ajouter une étude de l’œuvre télévisuelle par Jean-François Rauger, de courts récits de tournages et des entretiens, dont un inédit en français avec Peckinpah lui-même. Richement illustré en noir et blanc et en couleurs, ce livre est publié à l’occasion de la rétrospective dédiée à Sam Peckinpah organisée par le Festival del film Locarno en 2015, en collaboration avec la Cinémathèque suisse et la Cinémathèque française. Celle-ci reprend la rétrospective du 2 septembre au 11 octobre 2015.
The first comprehensive monograph on the cinema, art, and creative world of Harmony Korine, the boundary-breaking auteur of Mister Lonely, Kids, Gummo, and Spring Breakers. Harmony Korine’s talent as a writer and filmmaker has earned the approval of a wide range of audiences. His first major monograph gathers together many of his most significant projects, spanning film, writing, and art. Korine rose to prominence after penning Larry Clark’s infamous Kids (1995) at the age of nineteen. In the years since, he has created critically acclaimed cult classics, including Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, Mister Lonely, Trash Humpers, and Spring Breakers, as well as the lauded street-art documentary Beautiful Losers. Korine’s creative practice extends to photography, drawing, and figurative and abstract painting. This book is the first to reflect on Korine’s career to date, and will mark his massive influence on indie culture over the past twenty years. This project aims to explore the importance of process and experimentation as well as the artist’s wide variety of creative tools such as collage and editing that help shape his ever-changing practice. An interview by film critic Emmanuel Burdeau and an essay by curator Alicia Knock trace common themes through his films and art works, exploring Korine’s interests in the surreal quality of contemporary life.
