    Luxury, Tranquility and Ecocide

    by Gregory Salle ...

    Translated by Helen Morrison ...
    In our busy, noisy world, we may find ourselves longing for silence. But what is silence exactly? Is it the total absence of sound? Or is it the absence of the sound created by humans – the kind of deep stillness you might experience in a remote mountain landscape covered in snow, far away from the bustle of human life?When we listen closely, silence reveals a neglected reality. Neither empty nor ... Read more

  • Fragility

    A History of Plaster

    by Alain Corbin ...
    Translated by Helen Morrison ...
    The distant past is commonly characterized in terms of dominant materials of the time – the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, etc. Since the dawn of writing, however, characterizing eras in terms of materials has fallen by the wayside, and yet materials have continued to exert a powerful influence on our collective imagination.Viewed from this perspective, France in the period from 1815 to ...

  • A History of Rest

    by Alain Corbin ...
    Translated by Helen Morrison ...
    Rest occupies a space outside of sleep and alertness: it is a form of recuperation but also of preparation for what is to come, and is a need felt by human and animal alike. Through the centuries, different and conflicting definitions and forms of rest have blossomed, ranging from heavenly repose to what is prescribed for the modern affliction of burn-out. What has remained constant is its ... Read more

    Acceptance and Control of Homosexuality in New York and Paris

    Translated by Helen Morrison ...

    What does it mean to be gayfriendly? Having gay friends, supporting gay marriage, remaining unfazed when one’s son or daughter comes out? Going to gay bars or questioning one’s own sexual orientation? There is no single model of ‘gayfriendliness’, but rather different attitudes which vary according to age, sex, country and life circumstance.Acceptance of homosexuality has undeniably grown, and ...

  • The Stranger as My Guest

    A Critical Anthropology of Hospitality

    by Michel Agier ...
    Translated by Helen Morrison ...
    The migration crisis of recent years has elicited a double response: on the one hand, many states have responded by tightening border controls, in an attempt to restrict population movements, while on the other hand many citizens have responded by welcoming new arrivals, offering them shelter, food and whatever help they could provide. By so doing, they have re-awakened an old form of anthropology ... Read more
