LA MACHINE À ÊTRE
La Machine à être works as a catalog of felt. Without the beginning nor at the end these 773 paperoles, found in the pockets of a man, redraw the questioning, the certainties, the doubts of a person noting his successive objectifications. With this fourth book Jacques Brou toughens the streams of his writing, more impactant, frankly, fully in literature.

TINA
Review livened up by Éric Arlix, Chloé Delaume, Hugues Jallon, Dominiq Jenvrey, Emily King, Jean-Charles Massera, Émilie Notéris, Jean Perrier, Guy Tournaye.
TINA is divided in 3 parts : FICTIONS / MATTER / SCANNING, working on :
- a wider view angle applied to contemporary literature (not only watching 25 editors or considering books as objects)
- more critical positions (no promotion but sifting out texts and particular voices)
- a non-communautarian spirit (not only publishing friends)

LA FIN DU MONDE PAR LA SCIENCE
Mesmerising but also neglected (since 1855) is Huzar’s work, this republication appears to be refreshingly interesting. First of all regarding the history of Science due to the fact that it exemplifies doubts and uncertainties encompassed by the rise of sciences initiated at the very beginning of the XIX century. The book settles also an extremely remarkable reference with regards to the genesis of current discussion concerning risk and precaution theories. Huzar’s pessimistic views upon progress and his proto-theory of risk, points out the fact that the first remarks towards risk are contemporary with scientific and technical revolutions of the XIX century, relying the present ecological and philosophical debate (H. Jonas, U. Beck, Dupuy) recurring throught the long critical history of modern techno-science.

HERMAPHRODITE’S METAMORPHOSIS
Incarcerated in an experimental cell, a human-being is forced to justify himself publicly about his crime. Debriefing in front of his invisible judicial observers, recorded and numerically anatomized, the Hermaphrodite sounds and tells : about his mediatized birth, his childhood physical decay, his profession of guinea pig within an empire of psychotropic creation, until Hermany Mésange dazzling terminal metamorphosis.

HOAX
Narration resourcefulness is everywhere (we already knew it) swindle’s world takes advantage of it unscrupulously. In hoax we received for years are hidden some piercing literary qualities. It would be arousing to pay attention to it for a while. We suggest you to read about fifteen emails, discovering exchanges when there’s an answer from the addressee, and then ten authors submit their own production of hoax.

PATER LAÏUS
Pater Laius heroine’s ramblings, obsessions,memories and advises weave an unlikely diary. The writing is sharp and minimal, filled with raw realism and brutal humour. Barbary is a kit which can be taken over at any moment. After several books related to autofiction, Ian Soliane proposes a violent and hallucinatory transfer to psychiatry’s environnement.

LA GUERRE CIVILE MONDIALE
6 unpublished essays by Carl Schmitt in French. Translation and foreword of Céline Jouin. Those last important texts written by the “old man Schmitt” make the portrait of a world order in which the war between States becomes marginal. A “world civil war” is replacing it. Schmitt predicted, from 1938, that to legitimize the wars of the future, it is at the idea of just war that we would appeal, of “war against the war”, and either at the idea of nation.

WATASHI TACHI NOUS AU JAPON
WATASHI TACHI NOUS AU JAPON is a fictional novel in which, we, cheeky globe-trotters, unpack our Japon Live desires.

LA NUIT JE SUIS BUFFY SUMMERS
After Corpus Simsi and Certainement pas, Chloé Delaume extends once more her investigations regarding the game universe. Inspired by traditional game-books, La nuit je suis Buffy Summers, is an interactive fictional novel which leads the reader through a word of humour, fantasy and literary embezzlement, proposing a weird travel in amnesia.

TRANSHUMANCES
They are four protagonists. Two men and two women. Deep is the forest and indistinct are the cardinal points. They’re following the South ignoring who they are such as what they are running away from. They are executing a seasonal move. A whole program.

AND END TO POVERTY ? A Historical Debate
Gareth Stedman Jones
In the 1790’s, for the very first time, reformers thought one could put an end to poverty. Factors like scientific progress, hopes raised by an internationalizing trade, revolutions in America and in France, let thinkers like Paine or Condorcet assume that all citizens could be protected from economic chance and uncertainty. In this work, Gareth Stedman Jones investigates this fundamental assumption in the history of social democracy. He shows how the discussion of it has been undermined, by the left as well as the right thought, and became elusive.
About this book

REPUBLIC AND ITS DEVILS essays in Appied Republicanism
Republicanism is a political theory with a long history, that has been explored since the 1970’s by historians like J. Pocock or Q. Skinner. Ph. Pettit, an Irish philosopher now teaching in Princeton, suggested a contemporary interpretation of this theory in his 1997 Republicanism. A Theory of Freedom and Government. At the heart of republicanism, says Pettit, lies the ideal of liberty as non-domination. According to it, freedom is not characterized by the absence of interference - as a liberal definition of freedom would assume -, but by the absence of domination.
About this book

AGAINST GLOBAL ART, for an art without identity
Global art is not as much a full art as it is a fully integrated art. After the failure of the remaining critical aim in postmodernism, and after the observation that any critical aim is being relentlessly soaked up by the very thing it intends to criticize, global art has given up any critical aspect that would assume an elsewhere, and is now restlessly applying itself to interpreting any critical ambition as a reactive one.

CRIME DESIGNER
Crime designer is an essay on the Italian film director Dario Argento, the undisputed master in the art of criminal impulse. Behind films set up as dramatic enchantments, a theory of production is looming, energised by eccentric forces as well as by twisted clichés. Crime Designer is addressing to Argento as a film maker manipulating ambivalent sights, tightened by eroticism and tragedy.

L’EXP. TOT.
L’EXP. TOT. is a theoretical fiction where the world’s writing tests itself. Dominiq Jenvrey investigates the concepts of common will and of logics of sets, and involves the reader each and every line, leading him/her to call into question the very notion of action. A dissection of the literary, ontological and poetical world is at stake here, cut with the scalpel of a very singular and radical language, sharp even in the syntax itself.

THE LUDDITES Machine-Breaking, Political Economy and History
The first French language essay on the early 19th century English worker’s movement.
