Michel Houellebecq : humanity and its aftermath /
No full textMichel Houellebecq is perhaps the single most successful and controversial of all contemporary novelists writing in French. Houellebecq has become a global publishing phenomenon: his books have been translated worldwide, three film adaptations of his work have been produced, and the author has been the subject of million-euro publishing deals and of successive media scandals in France. His novels narrate a metaphysical mutation or paradigm shift through which humanity as we know it ceases to be the over-riding value or focus of our world when it comes into conflict with a competitor in the form of a post-human or neo-human species. It is the aim of this book to appraise the global significance of Houellebecq's novelistic visions while at the same time situating them within the context of French literature, culture and society.Michel Houellebecq is perhaps the single most successful and controversial of all contemporary novelists writing in French.

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Sur l'histoire du problème du temps.<br />Le temps physique et les phénomènes
No full textKlein, Etienne et Spiro, Michel (éds.), Le temps et sa flèche, Editions Frontières, Gif-sur-Yvette, 1994, p. 21-58 ; 2è éd., 1995 ; Collection Champs, Flammarion, Paris, 1996, p. 21-58.International audienceJe voudrais m'interroger avant tout sur la nature du concept de temps en physique, c'est-à-dire le temps tel que la physique le décrit, suivant le cours de l'évolution de ses théories. Je ne remonterai pas au delà des débuts de la mécanique classique, car ce serait vraiment une tâche trop grande que de parcourir, même à grands traits, toute l'"histoire du temps", suivant le titre qui m'avait été initialement proposé. Bien que cette expression, en elle-même, soit intéressante et stimulante - elle intrigue -, elle n'est pas sans risque, comme des entreprises récentes l'ont montré. L'ambition de proposer une "histoire du temps", même "brève", a pu faire confondre ce qui ne pourrait être, en vérité, qu'une histoire des représentations du temps, avec la description "naturelle" des caractères d'un temps de l'univers, et des états de l'univers au cours du temps, c'est-à-dire avec l'objet de la cosmologie. Quant à vouloir brosser une histoire des représentations du temps, ce serait un projet encyclopédique qu'une intelligence même boulimique - fût-elle conseillère des princes - ne parviendrait pas à accomplir seule. Aussi bien me limiterai-je à l'évolution du concept de temps dans la physique "moderne et contemporaine", comme on dit de l'histoire, et même en ne considérant qu'un seul thème, qui se laisse résumer sous le titre "le temps et les phénomènes"
