Add to basketNeuware - ON THE FRONT LINESAvital RonellOctober 2010, 180 pagesUnder option in: ItalyRights reserved for English language.As a committed philosopher, Avital Ronell constantly thinks about the symptoms of our time as a vanguard on the front line. This collection brings together four important texts with a previously unpublished foreword to accompany the French translation.Support Our Tropes. In this pamphlet-article, Avital Ronell scrutinizes the mechanism of a murderous warring logic. She ends the discussion with a re-reading of Immanuel Kant's Project for Perpetual Peace.Deviant Payback. The republication in several languages of a radical feminist text, SCUM, by Valérie Solanas provides Avital Ronell with an opportunity to extract its kernel of anger and revolt, and to revisit the question of the battle of the sexes.The Sacred Alien. Bordeaux, 1802. Friedrich Hölderin is a private tutor for the consul in Hamburg. His time there inspires him to write Andenken ('Memories'), one of his greatest achievements as a poet. Closely following the philosopher's commentary but also the tracesof the 'sacred alien' in Hölderin's work, Avital Ronell explores the modern experience of grieving, as the poet called it.The Tactlessness of a Fadeout. How do you leave a friend, without sharing in their acute distress With this moving homage to Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe's blues, Avital Ronell puts together a portrait of the philosopher, one that also serves as a self-portrait of an authorstruggling loss.

LIGNES DE FRONT
Avital Ronell
October 2010, 180 pages
Philosophe engagée, Avital Ronell ne cesse de penser les symptômes de notre époque en avant-poste sur la ligne de front. Ce présent recueil rassemble quatre textes importants, précédés d'un avant-propos inédit, destiné à la traduction française.
Tropes d'assaut. Dans cet article-pamphlet devenu une bannière pour les intellectuels opposants à la guerre du Golfe, Avital Ronell scrute les mécanismes d'une logique de guerre meurtrière avec une acuité dont nous savons aujourd'hui à quel point elle était prophétique, puis complète sa réflexion d'une relecture pour notre temps du Projet de paix perpétuelle d'Emmanuel Kant.
Rétribution indirecte. La réédition en plusieurs langues du texte féministe radical, le SCUM Manifesto, de Valerie Solanas, celle qui a tiré à bout portant sur Andy Warhol, est l'occasion pour Avital Ronell d'extraire de ce texte son noyau de colère et de révolte, et d'interroger à nouveau ce que l'on appelle la guerre des sexes.
Solitaire étrangère. Bordeaux, 1802. Friedrich Hölderlin est précepteur chez le consul de Hambourg. Son séjour lui inspire Andenken (« Souvenir »), l'un des sommets de sa poésie. Puis il se réfugie dans le silence. Plus d'un siècle s'écoule avant que Heidegger lui consacre un séminaire. Suivant pas à pas le commentaire du philosophe, mais aussi les traces de « l'étranger sacré » chez Hölderlin, Avital Ronell s'interroge sur l'expérience moderne du deuil tel que le poète l'a nommée.
L'indélicatesse d'un interminable fondu au noir... Comment prendre congé d'un ami, sinon en accompagnant son sens aigu de la détresse ? Avec humour et gravité, pour saluer l'un de ses plus chers maîtres, Avital Ronell, avec cet émouvant hommage au blues de Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, compose un portrait du philosophe qui est aussi un autoportrait de l'auteur aux prises avec la perte.
