Où vont la médecine, la maladie, la santé ? La crise de nos sociétés ne plonge-t-elle pas ses racines les plus profondes en ce domaine où les attitudes et les conceptions risquent, d'ici la fin du siècle, de se trouver radicalement bouleversées ? Telle est la première interrogation à laquelle répond Jacques Attali dans cette "économie politique du mal" réalisée au terme de plusieurs années de réflexion et d'enquête, notamment aux USA, au Japon et partout en Europe. Si la vie risque de devenir de plus en plus un bien économique, s'il est vrai que l'hôpital va se vider, que l'exercice de la médecine est en passe de céder le pas devant l'utilisation des prothèses, encore ne faut-il pas se borner à constater ces évolutions prévisibles, mais se demander : comment en est-on arrivé là depuis que les hommes tentent de désigner le mal, de le conjurer et de le séparer ? Jacques Attali répond en appuyant son analyse contemporaine et prospective sur une vaste synthèse historique montrant, dans leurs dimensions mondiales, les principaux tournants de l'histoire de la médecine, de l'hôpital, des épidémies, de la charité, de l'assurance, jalonnée par les hégémonies successives du guérisseur, du prêtre, du policier puis du médecin dont le règne aujourd'hui touche à sa fin. Au terme de cette double enquête-réflexion - sur le terrain où s'esquisse l'avenir, dans le passé où il s'explique -, on est conduit à se demander si, de la consommation réelle des corps dans les sociétés cannibales de jadis à la consommation des copies du corps que nous prépare l'ère des prothèses, nous sommes jamais sortis d'un ordre cannibale, ou encore si notre société industrielle n'a jamais été rien d'autre qu'une machine à traduire un cannibalisme vécu en cannibalisme marchand.

Forged at the intersection of intense interest in the pertinence and uses of biopolitics and biopower, this volume analyzes theoretical and practical paradigms for understanding and challenging the socioeconomic determinations of life and death in contemporary capitalism. Its contributors offer a series of trenchant interdisciplinary critiques, each one taking on both the specific dimensions of biopolitics and the deeper genealogies of cultural logic and structure that crucially inform its impress. New ways to think about biopolitics as an explanatory model are offered, and the subject of bios (life, ways of life) itself is taken into innovative theoretical possibilities. On the one hand, biopolitics is addressed in terms of its contributions to forms and divisions of knowledge; on the other, its capacity for reformulation is assessed before the most pressing concerns of contemporary living. It is a must read for anyone concerned with the study of bios in its theoretical profusions.

Why are vinyl records making a comeback? How is their resurgence connected to the political economy of music? Vinyl Theory responds to these and other questions by exploring the intersection of vinyl records with critical theory. In the process, it asks how the political economy of music might be connected with the philosophy of the record. The young critical theorist and composer Theodor Adorno’s work on the philosophy of the record and the political economy of music of the contemporary French public intellectual, Jacques Attali, are brought together with the work of other theorists to in order to understand the fall and resurrection of vinyl records. The major argument of Vinyl Theory is that the very existence of vinyl records may be central to understanding the resiliency of neoliberalism. This argument is made by examining the work of Adorno, Attali, Friedrich Nietzsche, and others on music through the lens of Michel Foucault’s biopolitics.

Emmanuel Falque’s The Wedding Feast of the Lamb represents a turning point in his thought. Here, Falque links philosophy and theology in an original fashion that allows us to see the full effect of theology’s “backlash” against philosophy. By attending closely to the incarnation and the eucharist, Falque develops a new concept of the body and of love: By avoiding the common mistake of “angelism”—consciousness without body—Falque considers the depths to which our humanity reflects animality, or body without consciousness. He shows the continued relevance of the question “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” (John 6:52), especially to philosophy. We need to question the meaning of “this is my body” in “a way that responds to the needs of our time” (Vatican II). Because of the ways that “Hoc est corpus meum” has shaped our culture and our modernity, this is a problem both for religious belief and for culture.

In this thought-provoking book, Günter Frankenberg explores why authoritarian leaders create new constitutions, or revise old ones. Through a profound analysis of authoritarian constitutions as phenomena in their own right, Frankenberg reveals their purposes, the audiences they seek to address and investigates the ways in which they fit into the broader context of autocracies.
