Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A widely acclaimed collection by one of France's leading poets and thinkers. Bilingual—first English translation. Winner of the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation (2006) Winner of the MLA Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Translation of a Literary Work (2006) Hailed as one of France's most influential living poets, Michel Deguy has remained largely inaccessible to English-language readers. Recumbents is the first English translation of the most critically-acclaimed volume of this poet's work. The word recumbents refers to funereal sculptures (gisants), reclining lovers, and the literal imprint of those and other figures on the page. The collection includes a poem for the dead, "Procession," written by Deguy in the wake of his father's suicide, and poems dedicated to all phases of Eros. These are interwoven with passages on rhetoric or what Deguy calls poetic reason. This bilingual edition also includes a meditation on Deguy's work by deconstructionism's foundational thinker, Jacques Derrida.

A Man of Little Faith

By: Michel Deguy

A poetic and philosophical negotiation of the alternatives of atheism and religious faith. In A Man of Little Faith the French poet and philosopher Michel Deguy reflects on the loss of religious faith both personally and culturally. Disenchanted not only with the oversimplifications of radical atheism but also with what he sees as an insipid sacralization of art as the influence of religion has waned, Deguy refuses to focus on loss or impossibility. Instead he actively suspends belief, producing a poetic deconstruction that, though resolutely a-theistic, makes a plea for an earthly piety and for the preservation of the relics of religion for the world to come. Two essays by Jean-Luc Nancy and a recent interview with Deguy are included, which reveal the impact and implications of Deguys ongoing reflection and its significance within his generation of French thought.

La France et ses administrations : un état des savoirs

France and its public administrations : A state of the art

By: Jean-Michel Eymeri–Douzans,Geert Bouckaert

En pleine congruence avec l’ambition du Groupe Européen pour l’Administration Publique d’encourager les échanges interculturels, ce livre constitue une entreprise originale, mi-anglophone mi-francophone. Cet ouvrage issu du Congrès du GEAP 2010 a pour objet de combler un déplorable fossé et de donner une visibilité internationale au « cas français ». Dès lors ce livre, en 18 chapitres rédigés en français par une équipe interdisciplinaire (politistes, sociologues, historiens, socio-historiens, juristes) avec plus de 150 pages en anglais et une vaste bibliographie unifiée, entend offrir à tous les spécialistes de l’administration publique de par le monde un point d’accès unique au plus récent état des savoirs sur l’administration en France – ce pays où le mot État s’écrit avec un E majuscule. ============================================ In full compliance with the ambition of the European Group for Public Administration to encourage cross-cultural exchanges, this book is a genuinely original undertaking. It is a hybrid Anglophone-Francophone product. This book from EGPA 2010 Conference purpose to bridge a regrettable gap and to give international visibility to the “French case”. Thus, this book, in 18 chapters written in French by an interdisciplinary team (political scientists, sociologists, historians, sociohistorians, jurists) with more than 150 pages in English and a vast unified bibliography, offers to all students of public administration in the world a unique entry gate to the latest state of the art of administrative studies in France – this country where the State is to be spelled with a capital S.

الشعر والمنظر من الرومنطيقية إلى أيامنا

By: Michel Collot

يثير المنظر منذ ربع قرن مطلباً إجتماعياً متزايد الإلحاح والتنوّع، يجهد المعنيّون بالمناظر في إرضائه، إضافة إلى إهتمام خاصّ من لدن العديد من العلوم الإنسانية والإجتماعيّة. ويبدو من الضروري اليوم تكافل جميع هذه الميادين بغية الإحاطة بمختلف جوانب المنظر، فهو ظاهرة متعددة الأبعاد ونقطة تقاطع حقيقيّة لمساهمات الطبيعة والثقافة والتاريخ والجغرافية والفرد والمجتمع والواقع والمتخيّل والرمزيّ. ضمن هذا الإطار، كان لسؤال المنظر في الادب أن يُطرح بدوره وفق أسس جديدة، مفضياً منذ ما يقارب من عشرين عاماً إلى أبحاث متعدّدة، فضلاً عن أن الكتّاب أنفسهم لم يكفّوا يوماً عن ربط ممارستهم وتفكيرهم بأفقٍ ما... يشكلّ المنظر في الشعر، كما في كلّ سياق آخر، مكاناً مشاعاً يخصّنا جميعاً وفضاءَ حريّة ممنوحاً لحساسيّة كلٍّ منّا وإبداعه، وبهذا يهيّئ أرضيّة مشتركة تمكّن الفرد من التواصل الحقيقيّ مع الجماعة دون التخلّي عن ذاته، وفيها تكمن صيرورة الحضارة بصفتها نتاجاً جماعيّاً.
