Foucault at the Movies brings together all of Foucault’s commentary on film, some of it available for the first time in English, along with important contemporary analysis and further extensions of this work. Patrice Maniglier and Dork Zabunyan situate Foucault’s writings on film in the context of the rest of his work as well as within a broad historical and philosophical framework. They detail how Foucault’s work directly or indirectly inspired both film critics and directors in surprising ways and discuss his ideas in relation to significant movements within film theory and practice. The book includes film reviews and discussions by Foucault as well as his interviews with the prestigious film magazine Cahiers du cinema and other journals. Also included are his dialogues with the noted French feminist writer Helene Cixous and film directors Werner Schroeter and Rene Feret. Throughout, Foucault and those he is in conversation with reflect on the relationship of film to history, the body, power and politics, knowledge, sexuality, aesthetics, and institutions of internment. Foucault at the Movies makes all of Foucault’s writings on film available to an English-speaking audience in one volume and offers detailed, up-to-date commentary, inviting us to go to the movies with Foucault.
Choses en soi. Métaphysique du réalisme

Les formes de ce realisme sont diverses : epistemologique, moral, speculatif… Mais qui sont les vrais realistes ? De quelle idee du reel se reclament-ils ? Et que reste-t-il de l’idealisme sous la profusion des vocables (constructivisme, perspectivisme, relativisme…) ? Une quarantaine de philosophes livrent ici leur diagnostic, sous la forme d’un vaste etat des lieux de la metaphysique contemporaine. La discussion tourne pour partie autour d’une notion maudite, associee a Kant : la « chose en soi », dont le spectre continue de hanter la philosophie. Comment parler des choses elles-memes, independamment de ce qu’elles sont pour nous ? Comment aborder la realite dans ce qu’elle a d’irreductible, sinon d’absolu ? Tout existe-t-il au meme titre, comme le proclament les nouvelles ontologies « plates » ? Outre quelques droles de pensees, on cr...

That this book has never been translated into English shows how little the anglophone world is yet acquainted with some key aspects of this corpus. Bachelard, like Bergson, is one of those authors that we now need to rediscover. The extract translated below addresses a central concept in his work, one that came to play an important role not only in French thought, but also in general culture: the concept of problematic.* Every school pupil in France today has to learn how to ‘construct her problematic’ when she works on her ‘dissertation’ in Literature, History, Philosophy, and so on. A ‘problematic’ in this pedagogical sense is not simply a set of questions; it is rather the matrix or the angle from which it will become possible and even necessary to formul...

Este artigo mostra que, pelo contrario, e pela mesma razao que o homem e um animal simbolico e e um animal politico. Se, com efeito, a nocao de sistema simbolico implica um espaco finito de possibilidades determinadas umas em relacao as outras, podemos mostrar que o tipo de sistematicidade que as caracteriza impli- ca sempre uma possibilidade supranumeraria, que so pode ser atualizada por um “ato”. Que o sujeito nao seja o mestre dos seus signos nao significa que a liberdade seja apenas uma ilusao, mas sim que ela e real, inerente a essas realidades muito singulares que sao os signos e as operacoes que os fazem advir. Li- berdade objetiva que consiste antes em fazer advir as possibilidades do mundo que em realizar nele seus ideais, mas finita, pois e sempre a do deslocamen- to de uma limitacao de possibilidades a um...

É também uma das mais criticadas: o caráter diferencial do signo não decorre, simplesmente, de a linguagem ser um meio limitado que deve comunicar mensagens em número ilimitado? (cf. Jakobson, Martinet, depois V. Descombes ou Th. Pavel)? Mostra-se aqui que essa evasão da questão ontológica tem, contudo, um custo teórico: ela obriga a aderir a uma concepção funcionalista da linguagem e a uma semântica referencialista. Ademais, contrariamente à interpretação habitual, apenas o significante e o significado separadamente são diferenciais; o signo em totalidade, esse, é positivo. Por meio de uma releitura de Bergson e Hegel, mostra-se que a noção de diferença qualitativa pura é filosoficamente insustentável, e procura-se reconstituir a teoria do valor por meio da distinção entre diferença e oposição. Obtém-se daí uma c...

Não ceder a seu desejo, na filosofia como em outras áreas, isso não poderia querer dizer precipitar-se no primeiro dos engodos que surgem. Há um rigor do desejo e ele passa por um cuidado com as palavras, nas quais esse desejo reflete-se. Estas são as palavras que gostaria de encontrar. No cerne dessa batalha de palavras, encontra-se a de “sistema”. Que filosofar seja construir uma filosofia, isso o é. Mas isso significa que se trata de construir um sistema?

Introduction: A New Pocket of Intellectual Space
Common Knowledge, 2016
This introduction to “Anthropological Philosophy: Symposium on an Unanticipated Conceptual Practi... more This introduction to “Anthropological Philosophy: Symposium on an Unanticipated Conceptual Practice” comprises a brief history of attitudes among anthropologists toward the philosophical field of ontology, and attitudes among professional philosophers toward the kinds of alien and marginal thinking with which anthropology is concerned. After the narrative reaches what has been called the “ontological turn” in anthropology, which is generally assumed to represent the current moment in relations between the disciplines, the author discloses the recent emergence of an unexpected cultural practice: a hybrid of anthropology and philosophy that takes metaphysics, as distinct from ontology, as both its object and its method. The distinction between metaphysics and ontology is crucial to this new “intellectual space” because, while ontology is an unconscious possession of any people, metaphysics is a demanding speculative discipline whose becoming an object of anthropology suggests that indigenous peoples consciously deal with questions about what is real and what is not in ways so impressive and sophisticated that they can be compared with the efforts of credentialed philosophers. In this emergent conceptual practice, moreover, the work of academic philosophers is open to elaboration and correction in response to the findings of tribal and Western marginal thinkers. Among the developers of anthropological philosophy are said to be the Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (the author of Cannibal Metaphysics ), the French philosopher Patrice Maniglier (who works in an area he terms “comparative ontology”), and the other contributors to this symposium, whose articles the author goes on, in this context, to describe and assess.
