To this end, an attempt will be made to understand if and how Chaplin’s use of (cinematic) images manages to elude the phantasmagorical universe of the society of “advanced capitalism”. jeu., 04 janv. 2024 11:08:21 +0100 jeu., 15 févr. 2024 16:21:33 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/582 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/461 Through the analysis of one of Heiner Müller's most enigmatic plays, the essay aims to show how the great German writer developed a radically critical reading of the history of modern German literature and culture. The failure of Lessing's project to compose a tragedy on Spartacus means the interruption of an alternative line of German literature, in which those who were excluded from the official tradition imposed by the dominant culture could have found a voice. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:19:44 +0100 mar., 13 févr. 2024 10:02:06 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/461 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/470 The essay aims at verifying role and significance of the analysis of Brecht's work, Drums in the Night, within the Jesi's reflection upon the symbology of revolt. The analysis clearly shows how Brecht's text is crucial for Jesi's reflection on the possible aporias of a mythology of revolt. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:35:01 +0100 mar., 13 févr. 2024 09:48:29 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/470 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/332 This article aims to show that the actor is a figure of the dismissal. First, it highlights that the actor is dismissed from his sensitive being, his role as an interpreter, and his real personality. However, it insists that, at the same time, the actor has the power to dismiss the economical and mediatic system which makes him exist. The actress and star Marylin Monroe crystalizes that in her personal, professional, and public life. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 08:56:27 +0100 lun., 12 févr. 2024 15:23:54 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/332 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/433 The aim of this paper is to bring to light some philosophical implications of Gustav Landauer's concept of Revolution. This concept is compared with Hermann's Cohen ethic ideal of “infinite task” and, on the other hand, with two brief critical sketches in which Walter Benjamin criticizes the Marburg school's approach. Landauer's ideas of “struggle” and “time” are also compared with Carl Schmitt's concept of “serious case (Erstfall)” and, lastly, with the paradigm of the perfect fight or “Macheus” theorized by Emanuel Lasker (the great chess player who also was a philosopher). jeu., 30 nov. 2023 10:43:45 +0100 ven., 09 févr. 2024 15:29:56 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/433
