Gilles Deleuze is widely regarded as one of the major postwar proponents of Nietzschean thought in continental philosophy. Over a period of forty years, he presented what amounts to a philosophy of vitalism and multiplicity, bringing together concepts from thinkers as diverse as Nietzsche and Hume. In the first comprehensive English-language introduction to Deleuze, John Marks offers a lucid reading of a complex, abstract and often perplexing body of work. Marks examines Deleuzeʹs philosophical writings -- as well as the political and aesthetic preoccupations which underpinned his thinking -- and provides a rigorous and illuminating reading of Deleuzeʹs early studies of Hume, Nietzsche, Kant, Bergson and Spinoza, his collaborations with Felix Guattari, and the development of a distinctively "Deleuzian" conceptual framework. Marks focuses on the philosophical friendship that developed between Deleuze and Foucault and considers the full range of Deleuzeʹs fascinating writings on literature, art and cinema. This is a clear and concise guide to the work of one of the twentieth centuryʹs most influential thinkers. -- Publisher description

This article considers Alain Ehrenberg's extensive analysis of individualism in contemporary France. It shows how he has traced the emergence of autonomy as a key social value, and it goes on to analyse the distinctive features of Ehrenberg's sociological approach. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Ehrenberg does not regard the growth of individualism in France as a tragic process of anomie and isolation. In fact, he is critical of what he sees as a pervasive French discourse of 'declinology', and he has expressed his growing frustration with this perspective more recently in explicitly political terms. Although he acknowledges that autonomy can be burdensome for individuals, he feels that the state should respond to the sociological fact of autonomy by supporting and empowering citizens as autonomous agents. The article concludes by drawing attention to the limitations of this political position.

This article looks at three recent French novels in order to explore key themes in what has become known as the roman d'entreprise: Pierre Mari's Résolution (2005), Nathalie Kuperman's Nous étions des êtres vivants (2010) and Thierry Beinstingel's Retour aux mots sauvages (2010). The figure of the entreprise functions both as a fictional representation of the post-Fordist workplace environment in companies such as France Télécom, and also as a means of tackling wider issues of work and social organisation in an era of neoliberal managerialism. The concepts of capitalist realism, organisational miasma and virtuality are used to analyse the ways in which the three novels convey the distinctive affective landscape of the contemporary entreprise. Fiction is used to consider the prolix and self-referential nature of the managerialist entreprise, which enables it to exert a significant influence on the individual and collective subjectivities of employees. The three novels focus on the capacity of the entreprise to capture language and impose an affect of silence on employees.

L'UEFA, l'Union européenne et le fair-play financier. « On ne dépense pas plus d'argent que l'on n'en génère ! » Cet article considère la transformation au cours des dernières années du football européen. Tout en reconnaissant l'importance et la validité de ce qu'on a défini comme un processus d'« Européenisation », l'article soutient qu'il faut considérer l'« économie politique » du football, compte tenu de la crise financière actuelle. Le concept de Financial Fair Play (le fair-play financier) fournit un point focal pour évaluer la manière de formuler des questions profondes – à la fois dans le monde du football et dans un contexte plus large – par rapport à l'accumulation et la distribution de différentes formes de capital.
