The essay discusses the theses of Furio Jesi and Walter Benjamin. At the same time it investigates the film dedicated by Stanley Kubrick to Spartacus. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 10:32:40 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/419 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/423 Toussaint Louverture has been called the Black Spartacus, who leaded the only successful slave revolt in History. The question is: Can Spartacus be victorious? This paper aims to think about this contradiction, this impossibility by analyzing plays based on the life of the Haitian hero written by Lamartine, C.L.R.  ames and Glissant. How these works deal with the victory problem? I try to bring destituent possibilities out from these texts: marronage and fraternity as bias to preserve subversive virtues beyond the deceptive success. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 10:37:23 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/423 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/429 In 73 B.C., the slaves rose up in Rome. This revolt founded a new myth for posterity, the War of the Poor, epitomized by a name: Spartacus. Two thousand years later, Spartacus reappears in Germany. To oppose the war. To determine another course of events. The return of the myth of Spartacus provides a revolutionary becoming for the German communists. The hypothesis of these pages is that, during the meeting with Rosa Luxemburg, Spartacus also experiences several metamorphosis. There is perhaps a becoming-woman of Spartacus. Certainly there are in the pages of Luxemburg leads for another communism to come. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 10:40:58 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/429 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 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/433 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/439 The present paper deals with the relationship between the necessity of revolt and the bourgeois political mythology in Furio Jesi’s (1941- 1980) works. The article describes Jesi’s point of view on the presence of metaphysical and political backgrounds that overshadow any attempt to overthrow the existing relationships of power. This idea serves to advance the hypothesis that every political gesture, even if it is carried with a radical destituent intent, could embody a form of sacrifical posture capable of turning against itself and declaring the failure - or the conservative seizure - of the gesture itself. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 10:48:21 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/439 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/443 This essay analyses the relationship between violence and sacrifice in the context of political agency, starting from its Neolithic origins of religious sacrifice on to the relationship between violence and state power in the modern era. In the view of the author, the contemporary relationship between violence and politics cannot be precisely analysed without taking into account the relationship between computer and internet technology and the libidinal economy of radicalization. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 10:51:49 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/443 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/449 This contribution aims at investigating the relationship between the production of images on the slavery and the forms of exploitation of the migrant workforce employed into the agricultural sector. In particular, the authors analyse how the public representation basically oscillate between a depiction of the migrants into the role of the slave with a “broken back” and the one of slave who needs to “break the chains”. By bringing together cases coming from literature and ethnographic experiences, the contribution provides examples of migrants’ self representation. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 10:55:08 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/449 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/456 jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:05:47 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/456 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/457 jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:08:59 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/457 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/459 jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:15:40 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/459 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 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/461 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/467 jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:22:45 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/467 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/468 jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:26:03 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/468 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 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/470 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/474 The revolt of Spartacus establishes itself as being in an army and it is able to prevail over the Romans on many fronts so that, although eventually defeated, it opens deep gashes in the consolidated imaginary of the Republic. The attempt of this paper is to think of these events as a response to the profound crisis of the institutions at that time, whose scope is still able to propose thinkable alternatives when any political hypothesis seems to be relegated to the impossible. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:38:23 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/474 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/480 Kleist writes Kohlhaas during the Napoleonic wars (1810), to propose, through the parable of a 16th century rebel, a new alliance between the people and a power capable of defending it. The revolutionary strength of Kohlhaas's has fascinated our modernity. Through the adaptations of V. Schlöndorff (1969), M. Baliani and A. des Paillières (2013), Kohlhaas continued to question relationship between the man of the people and the power at critical moments in the recent European history. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:40:47 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/480 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/486 In this article on The Son of Spartacus, a sword and sandals movie by the Italian filmmaker Sergio Corbucci, the author focusses on the ambivalence of pepla as both commercial/popular films and “suggestion boxes” – they are intended for entertaining the general public by staging Antiquity in a lavish and ornamental style, but simultaneously, they “make us think” on our present condition by raising essential questions that directly clip on our “problems” with politics, ethics, history, the government of the living, civilization and barbarity, etc. In The Son of Spartacus, Corbucci insistently deals with what Walter Benjamin call “the tradition of the oppressed”. Sword and sandals films are made of an inextricable entanglement of ornamental effects and “ideas” (Deleuze) – and this is what makes them so exciting. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:44:43 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/486 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/492 If historical films are “thought experiments” involving producers and viewers, what are the claims of a movie like Spartacus which was developed and produced during the Cold War America and the resulting Inquisition in Hollywood? Dalton Trumbo as a young director employed after the dismissal of Anthony Mann, Stanley Kubrick matches the rebel slave to the filmmaker who tries to win against the studio and the star systems. When the USA looks like the Roman Empire and Hollywood a school of gladiators, the name of Spartacus can still resonate like a battle cry. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:50:16 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/492 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/499 In 1960, Stanley Kubrick directed Spartacus, based on a script by Dalton Trumbo and a novel by Arthur Koestler. The movie entrenched the figure of Spartacus as revolutionary slave, fighting against slavery. In this article, we study how the figure of the Thracian slave lives on in at least two contemporary characters: Django from Quentin Tarantino’s eponymous movie and Caesar, the ape leading the uprising in 2011’s movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes. jeu., 30 nov. 2023 11:53:24 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/499 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/418 jeu., 30 nov. 2023 10:29:10 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/418
