Littérature, politique et communisme: Lire , 1942-1972 suit le rapport entre politique et culture à travers un hebdomadaire communiste de la Résistance à la Libération, la Guerre froide, la Défense de la paix, la destalinisation, la montée des marxismes textuels dans les années soixante et jusqu'aux événements de 1968. Le livre traite des rapports changeants entre politique et arts dans la clandestinité, puis dans l'après-guerre et la décolonisation. Il retrace les débats intellectuels et les grands procès de l'épqoue - de l'Affaire Henri Martin à celle des Rosenberg. Il fait revivre une histoire littéraire et culturelle passionnante qui est aujourd'hui largement oubliée

In ecological thinking, the term care is of shifting valence. In philosophical and literary history, care is inflected as worrisome, burdensome, while, at the same time, uplifting and given to life. It has functional virtue in material practices based on what can be called an empathic relation. In recent critical texts addressing ecological dilemmas, care emerges as a diagram—an intermediate form—between possibility and event. Both palliative and favoring what is possible, care is inflected multifariously and with uncommon force of attraction in the materialist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari that inspires the work of Jane Bennett, Rosi Braidotti, Brian Massumi, Isabelle Stengers, Mark Hansen, and Jussi Parikka. In each, the care of the possible is based on experimentation and embrace of open-ended practice: collaboration rather than individual profit; posthumanism that recognizes universal entanglements; attention to the role technology plays in all spheres of inquiry; and, increasingly, sensors that produce a surplus of sensibility. This article argues that open-endedness, or possibility, has to be coupled with a palliative care brought to dwindling material resources.

"Virilio's Electronic Dérive" provides a summary of Ville panique. It shows that the culture critic joins a contemporary debate on the city, democracy, and citizenship. It argues that by writing at the limit of a shift in style and mode of communication, the critic takes what is a tendency for truth. Virilio's apocalyptic style refuses any kind of nuancing. He argues for general disaster under the impact of technologies. Thus, he does not bring out economic injustices, on the one hand, and, on the other, risks losing credibility by being seen as technophobic.
