Communism and Strategy
If the question of communism is making a comeback today, this renewed interest is often accompanied by an abandonment of any concrete political perspective. Critical philosophies are flourishing and proliferating, but, folded into the academic terrain, they often remain disconnected from the global issues associated with the present crisis of capitalism, contributing, in turn, to the fragmentation of the resistances that are opposed to it. Instead of locking the perspective of emancipation into the registers of utopia, or relegating it to the side of an empty populism, Isabelle Garo studies in this book the conditions of a contemporary revival of the alternative as a collective construction,...
Disaster Nationalism
The rise of the new far right has left the world grappling with a profound misunderstanding. While the spotlight often shines on the actions of charismatic leaders such as Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, the true peril lies elsewhere. Defeating these people will not stem the tide driving them forward. They are merely the embodiment of profound forces that are rarely understood. Propelled through the vast networks of social media and fueled by far-right influencers, enthralled by images of disaster and fantasies of doom, they have emerged from a reservoir of societal despair, fear, and isolation. Within this seething cauldron, we witness not only the surge of far-right political movements bu...
Against the Crisis
Capitalism produces crises and crises reproduce capitalism. We need an ecosocialist way out If crisis defines our era, we need a coherent socialist policy in response. Ståle Holgersen delves into today’s economic and ecological crises to demonstrate that they are not exceptions to an otherwise functioning system but integral to its operation. It is naive to see these upheavals as opportunities for reform or revolution. They are the bedrock of the status quo. Fortunately, the vicious circle sustaining capitalism is not founded on an iron law. Our historical mission in the face of the climate crisis is to create a historical exception to the rule. It is time for ecosocialism against crisis.
Late Fascism
How do we understand the return of fascism today? In a world shaken by ecological, economic and political crises, the forces of authoritarianism and reaction seem to have the upper hand. How should we name, map and respond to this state of affairs? Late Fascism turns to theories of fascism produced in the past century, testing their capacity to illuminate our moment and challenging many of the commonplaces that debate on this extremely charged term devolves into. It can be tempting for any contemporary assessment of fascism to reach for historical analogy. Fascism is defined by returns and repetitions, but it is not best approached in terms of steps and checklists dictated by a selective rea...
Alt-Finance
Powerful financial forces have supported the neoliberal project since the 1980s to advance their interests; but there are now signs that these forces have a new face and a new strategy. The majority of the British finance sector threw its support behind Britain leaving the European Union, a flagship institution of neoliberalism. Beyond this counterintuitive move, what was really happening and why? Alt-Finance examines a new authoritarian turn in financialised democracies, focusing on the City of London, revealing a dangerous alternative political project in the making. In a clash with traditional finance, the new behemoths of financial capital - hedge funds, private equity firms and real est...
Les nationalistes à l'assaut de l'Europe
Les nationalistes connaissent un grand essor en Europe. Il s'agit d'abord d'une réaction à la mondialisation et à ses ravages, dans un contexte d'absence d'alternative. D'où un rejet de la supranationalité, à laquelle on oppose un repli sur l'État-nation, synonyme de protectionnisme, xénophobie et même racisme. La critique des élites rime avec l'apologie d'un peuple abstrait. Le mépris de la démocratie débouche sur le culte du chef. À répéter que « nous ne sommes pas dans les années 1930 », on risque de sous-estimer le danger. Il y va de l'avenir de chaque État : niveau de vie, libertés et hostilité à l'immigration. Mais l'avenir de l'Union européenne est aussi en cause : si elle mérite d'être transformée, sa destruction constituerait une menace pour le continent.
Why Fascism Is on the Rise in France
Recent polls have indicated for the first time that a far-right candidate could win the French presidential election in 2027. Reactionary and racist ideologues increasingly sully the French media. Assaults by fascist groups are on the rise as they grow in size and confidence. How did this happen in a country once so proud of its revolutionary past? Writer and academic Ugo Palheta shows that the fascist threat is rooted in the triple radicalization - neoliberal, authoritarian and racist - of the French ruling class. Unable to win majority support for the self-interested policies represented by Emmanuel Macron, this class has sought support by adopting more radical right-wing positions. Palheta argues for a renaissance of anti-fascism to inspire resistance to the far right and the triple threat encouraging its rise. Why Fascism Is on the Rise in France has repositioned the question of fascism to place it at the centre of intellectual debate in France.
Enseignements au collège et ségrégation sociale
Si le collège unique français propose un tronc commun pour la majorité des élèves, il diversifie également les enseignements pour accueillir un public de plus en plus hétérogène. Cet ouvrage examine cette diversification en s'appuyant sur les résultats d'une recherche originale. Il met ainsi au jour des phénomènes de spécialisation et de hiérarchisation entre les collèges, associés à une ségrégation sociale entre les élèves.
Luttes, espérances, utopies
L'utopie est peut-être de nouveau à l'ordre du jour, et avec elle, la question des « alternatives », les « expérimentations » sociales, la nécessité que les mouvements sociaux finissent par bousculer l'ordre politique. C'est au prisme des sciences sociales que la question est traitée ici. Comment se font et se défont les espérances politiques ? Comment les expériences comme les grèves, les manifestations et autres « occupations » modifient les façons de se représenter la société ?
