    Les sĂ©ries noires actuelles peuvent ĂȘtre ressaisies dans une configuration plus globale dans leurs rapports avec le genre littĂ©raire du roman noir et le film noir. Une mĂ©thodologie des « jeux de langage » empruntĂ©e au second Wittgenstein permet d’effectuer des traductions entre le « jeu de langage » du roman, celui du film de fiction et celui de la sĂ©rie, dans un dialogue avec les « jeux de connaissance » de la philosophie et de la sociologie. Une critique sociale radicale en lien avec une interrogation existentielle et morale est travaillĂ©e dans chaque « jeu de langage » avec des analogies et des spĂ©cificitĂ©s. En visitant successivement un roman (Gone, Baby, Gone de Dennis Lehane), un film (Dans la vallĂ©e d’Elah de Paul Haggis) et une sĂ©rie (The Killing, version amĂ©ricaine, de Veena Sud), on repĂšre certains dĂ©placements engagĂ©s dans ces traductions. Une critique de la trame narrative conspirationniste Ă©merge de ces trois Ɠuvres ainsi que les cheminements d’une Ă©thique perfectionniste. Les investigations pro­posĂ©es ont une teneur exploratoire et programmatique.Current black series can be seized in a more global configuration in their relationships with black novel and black film. A methodology of “language games” borrowed from the second Wittgenstein allows to make translations between the “language game” of the novel, that of the movie of fiction and that of the series, in a dialogue with the “knowledge games” of philosophy and sociology. A radical social criticism in connection with an existential and moral inter­rogation is worked in every “language game” with analogies and specificities. By visiting successively a novel (Gone, Baby Gone, Dennis Lehane), a movie (In the Valley of Elah, Paul Haggis) and a series (The Killing, american version, Veena Sud), we locate some movements committed in these translations. A criti­cism of the conspiracy narrative emerge of these three creations as well as figures of a perfectionist ethics. The proposed investigations have an exploratory and programmatic content

    Este artĂ­culo es el texto de una conferencia de presentaciĂłn del libro de teorĂ­a polĂ­tica crĂ­tica de Philippe Corcuff sobre el proceso de derechizaciĂłn extrema de los debates pĂșblicos en Francia desde mediados de los años 2000: La grande confusion. Comment l’extrĂȘme droite gagne la bataille des idĂ©es, publicado en 2021. Este libro explora tres “formaciones discursivas” (Michel Foucault): el ultraconservadurismo (con su polo mĂĄs radical, el “postfascismo”), el confusionismo y el identitarismo, en un contexto de crisis de la nociĂłn de “izquierda”. El artĂ­culo hace hincapiĂ© en dos figuras del “postfascismo a la francesa”: Alain Soral y Éric Zemmour. Concluye con hipĂłtesis formuladas en vĂ­speras de las elecciones presidenciales francesas de abril de 2022

    Les séries TV comme nouvelles théories critiques en contexte identitariste et ultraconservateur. American Crime, The Sinner, Sharp Objects, Unorthodox

    Une thĂ©orie critique Ă  visĂ©e Ă©mancipatrice peut trouver un poumon de rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©ration aujourd’hui dans les cultures ordinaires, et en particulier dans les sĂ©ries TV, en puisant notamment dans les travaux de Stanley Cavell sur le cinĂ©ma. Certaines sĂ©ries peuvent ainsi participer Ă  la rĂ©invention de thĂ©ories critiques, dans le sillage de l’École de Francfort mais en en dĂ©plaçant certaines formulations au contact des sociologies comprĂ©hensives et pragmatistes actuelles. Cela suppose de passer par un dialogue transfrontalier entre le « jeu de langage » des sĂ©ries TV et le « jeu de connaissance » de la thĂ©orie politique, en empruntant des concepts inspirĂ©s de Ludwig Wittgenstein. Quatre sĂ©ries sont traitĂ©es successivement : les saisons 1 d’American Crime (2015) et de The Sinner (2017), Sharp Objects (2018) et Unorthodox (2020). Les apports critiques de ces sĂ©ries dessinent des affinitĂ©s avec une philosophie politique de l’ouverture de l’ĂȘtre tirĂ©e d’Emmanuel Levinas. Cet article explore, sous l’angle du « jeu de langage » des sĂ©ries TV, des thĂšmes traitĂ©s au moyen des outils de la thĂ©orie politique dans le livre La grande confusion. Comment l’extrĂȘme droite gagne la bataille des idĂ©es (2021).Critical theory with an emancipatory aim can find a source of regeneration today in ordinary cultures, especially in TV series, drawing on Stanley Cavell’s work on cinema. Some series can thus participate in the reinvention of critical theories, in the wake of the Frankfurt School but by shifting some formulations in the light of current comprehensive and pragmatist sociologies. This implies a cross-border dialogue between the TV series “language game” and the political theory “knowledge game”, from concepts inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein. Four series will be under study: the first seasons of American Crime (2015) and The Sinner (2017), Sharp Objects (2018) and Unorthodox (2020). The critical contributions of these series reveal links with the political philosophy of openness of being derived from Emmanuel Levinas. Through the angle of the TV series “language game”, this article explores these main themes using the tools of political theory designed in the book La grande confusion.

    Introduction : Pour un programme d’inspiration cavellienne d’analyse des sĂ©ries TV

    Get PDF
    Cet article introductif propose un aperçu synthĂ©tique des apports de Stanley Cavell dans ses dialogues entre philosophie et cinĂ©ma. Il insiste sur le roc de l’ordinaire (dans le sillage d’Emerson, Thoreau, Wittgenstein et Austin), sur les liens entre perfectionnisme moral et radicalitĂ© dĂ©mocratique, sur sa portĂ©e Ă©ducative et auto-Ă©ducative, ainsi que sur l’importance de considĂ©rer les cultures ordinaires (cinĂ©ma, sĂ©ries TV, etc.) comme de vĂ©ritables arts dĂ©mocratiques. Il dessine ensuite ce que pourraient ĂȘtre certains axes d’un programme d’inspiration cavellienne d’étude des sĂ©ries TV pour la philosophie et les sciences sociales. Enfin, il prĂ©sente les diffĂ©rentes contributions de ce numĂ©ro de TV/Series consacrĂ© Ă  « Perfectionnisme et sĂ©ries tĂ©lĂ©visĂ©es. Hommage Ă  Stanley Cavell (1926-2018) ».This introductive article propose a brief overview of the contributions of Stanley Cavell in his dialogues between philosophy and cinema. It emphasizes the rock of the ordinary (in the wake of Emerson, Thoreau, Wittgenstein and Austin), the links between moral perfectionism and democratic radicality, its educational and self-educational scope, as well as the importance of considering ordinary cultures (cinema, TV series, etc.) as true democratic arts. It then sketches out what some of the axes of a Cavellian-inspired program could be for the study of TV series in philosophy and social sciences. Finally, it presents the various contributions of this issue of TV/Series devoted to “Perfectionism and TV series. A tribute to Stanley Cavell (1926-2018)”

    Dans cet entretien Ă  quatre voix, trois chercheurs (dont le co-scĂ©nariste du film) et la scĂ©nariste et rĂ©alisatrice de Nadia et les hippopotames (1999), explicitent les intentions de ce film de fiction qui met en scĂšne la grĂšve des cheminots de 1995. AprĂšs ĂȘtre revenus sur la place et la nature du film politique en France, ils analysent les diverses interprĂ©tations qui ont Ă©tĂ© donnĂ©es au film, en particulier comme reprĂ©sentation du monde cheminot, et leur succession dans le temps.In this interview, three researchers (one of whom is the co-script-writer) and the script-writer and producer of Nadia and the hippopotami (1999) explain their goals in making this fictional film about the railwaymen’s strike in 1995. After discussing the role and the character of the political film in France, they analyse different interpretations of the film, especially as a representation of the railwaymen’s world, and the evolution of these readings of the film over time.

    peer reviewedaudience: researcherVitamin C is known for its antioxidant potential and activity in the collagen biosynthetic pathway. Photoprotective properties of topically applied vitamin C have also been demonstrated, placing this molecule as a potential candidate for use in the prevention and treatment of skin ageing. A topically applied cream containing 5% vitamin C and its excipient were tested on healthy female volunteers presenting with photoaged skin on their low-neck and arms in view to evaluate efficacy and safety of such treatment. A double-blind, randomized trial was performed over a 6-month period, comparing the action of the vitamin C cream vs. excipient on photoaged skin. Clinical assessments included evaluation at the beginning and after 3 and 6 months of daily treatment. They were performed by the investigator and compared with the volunteer self assessment. Skin relief parameters were determined on silicone rubber replicas performed at the same time-points. Cutaneous biopsies were obtained at the end of the trial and investigated using immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. Clinical examination by a dermatologist as well as self-assessment by the volunteers disclosed a significant improvement, in terms of the 'global score', on the vitamin C-treated side compared with the control. A highly significant increase in the density of skin microrelief and a decrease of the deep furrows were demonstrated. Ultrastructural evidence of the elastic tissue repair was also obtained and well corroborated the favorable results of the clinical and skin surface examinations. Topical application of 5% vitamin C cream was an effective and well-tolerated treatment. It led to a clinically apparent improvement of the photodamaged skin and induced modifications of skin relief and ultrastructure, suggesting a positive influence of topical vitamin C on parameters characteristic for sun-induced skin ageing
