Seeing Like a Firm

Social Justice, Corporations, and the Conservative Order

By: Associate Professor of Social and Political Philosophy European School of Social and Political Sciences (Espol) Pierre-Yves Néron,Pierre-Yves Néron

Business corporations are political entities and need to be considered as such. Seeing Like a Firm invites readers to do just that by providing a political theory of the business firm. It argues that firms 'see' in a conservative way and embrace a 'conservatism of commerce' that requires socioeconomic inequality. By offering a new interpretation of conservatism based not on preserving the existing system but on an 'aesthetics of inequality', Néron provides an alternative way to think about the main challenges that proponents of equality face.

Sartre, Self-formation, and Masculinities

By: Jean-Pierre Boulé

Published on the occasion of Sartre's Centenary, this book helps to understand the man behind the work, offering a psycho-social analysis of Jean-Paul Sartre with an emphasis on his masculinity. It sets out to contextualize Sartre in terms of his psycho-sexual formation and processes of self-constitution in view of his childhood. The main period under detailed study is 1905-1945, before Sartre became the Sartre. It concentrates on his early childhood, his teenage years in La Rochelle, the years at the Ecole Normale, and the first few years of his adulthood, with specific attention on the war years. An analysis of Sartre's relationships follows, with Simone de Beauvoir and other women and men (including love and sex), before a postscript covering the period 1973-1980. This essay is not a reductive account. It tells the story of Jean-Paul Sartre, from the inside out, so that the achievements of one of the major intellectuals of the 20th Century can be measured against his own internal struggles.

The Jews

History, Memory, and the Present

By: Pierre Vidal-Naquet

The highly publicized obscenity trial of Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness (1928) is generally recognized as the crystallizing moment in the construction of a visible modern English lesbian culture, marking a great divide between innocence and deviance, private and public, New Woman and Modern Lesbian. Yet despite unreserved agreement on the importance of this cultural moment, previous studies often reductively distort our reading of the formation of early twentieth-century lesbian identity, either by neglecting to examine in detail the developments leading up to the ban or by framing events in too broad a context against other cultural phenomena. Fashioning Sapphism locates the novelist Radclyffe Hall and other prominent lesbians--including the pioneer in women's policing, Mary Allen, the artist Gluck, and the writer Bryher--within English modernity through the multiple sites of law, sexology, fashion, and literary and visual representation, thus tracing the emergence of a modern English lesbian subculture in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Drawing on extensive new archival research, the book interrogates anew a range of myths long accepted without question (and still in circulation) concerning, to cite only a few, the extent of homophobia in the 1920s, the strategic deployment of sexology against sexual minorities, and the rigidity of certain cultural codes to denote lesbianism in public culture.

In the Dock

Victims of Social Injury

By: Pierre Marion

***FOR EVALONLY!!!***** Reading this book, we are shocked to realize how a family can be broken when they are forgotten, ignored or judged by those institutions whose mission is to offer them support. We discover the true story of a tragedy that not only brought its victim into despair, solitude and eventually death, but also imprisoned his close ones into silence. Fortunately, the situation of criminal act victims and their families has changed but only because they have let their voice be heard, as Pierre has done on behalf of his father and his family. But at what cost? The answer is in his book: At the cost of his fathers inner life. The day of the abduction marked the beginning of Charles journey into solitude which continued to deepen until his death. Being abducted and having his reputation and honor destroyed resulted into isolation, as if he had been dehumanized After 40 years, I hope that this book will help towards re-establishing the reputation of the victim and his family, and that shedding light at the end of this very long tunnel of suffering will be their reward.

Hervé Guibert

Voices of the Self

By: Jean-Pierre Boulé

This is the first full-length study to cover the complete texts of Herveacute; Guibert (1955–1991), offering a thorough documentation of his literary output. The book is guided by Guibert’s relation to the novel, a major line of enquiry throughout, as well as his experimentation with voices in particular. One of Bouleacute;’s main contentions is that Guibert arrives at the creation of a new literary genre, the roman faux, with the publication of his best-known work To the Friend who did not save my life. The book ends by considering the works Guibert produced after he was diagnosed as HIV positive, within the parameter of the voices of the self.
