Serres Michel Title : Non è un mondo per vecchi. Perché i ragazzi rivoluzionano il sapere
Author: Serres Michel
Publisher: Bollati Boringhieri

Le tecnologie digitali sconvolgono il quadro antropologico finora noto. Virtualità, connettività universale e libero accesso alle fonti di informazione stanno riplasmando le facoltà cognitive dei ragazzi e dislocando altrimenti il sapere. Non è più là fuori, remoto, scosceso, paludato e spesso respingente; adesso sta tutto in tasca, a portata di mano, senza mediazione. Mentre i grandi mediatori - il sistema scolastico, ma anche gli istituti della politica e della società-spettacolo - si ostinano a brillare come stelle morte da tempo, ignare della propria fine. Il mondo non sarà più un posto per vecchi. L'ultraottantenne Michel Serres, epistemologo tra i più originali, registra sorridente quell'ineluttabile obsolescenza. Non trema, lui, di fronte al crollo di gerarchie e privilegi secolari, anzi rimane incantato dai suoi effetti più tellurici e si schiera incondizionatamente dalla parte dei ragazzi, capaci di un'intelligenza inventiva che è forza di svincolamento, nel corpo e nella mente. L'era che spezza le catene è iniziata, e Serres le porge il saluto.

Serres Michel Title : Tempo di crisi
Author: Serres Michel
Publisher: Bollati Boringhieri

Il recente terremoto finanziario e borsistico che si è abbattuto sulla nostra società offre a Michel Serres l'occasione per riflettere più in generale sul fenomeno della crisi. Per il filosofo francese, quando si vive una crisi, nessun ritorno indietro è possibile. Bisogna inventare qualcosa di nuovo, avere il coraggio di voltare pagina. Quello che colpisce, invece, è che, nonostante i giganteschi sconvolgimenti che negli ultimi decenni hanno trasformato l'umanità, le istituzioni non sono cambiate. È questa la vera crisi, sostiene l'autore. Di qui occorre partire per ripensare il passato, mettere in discussione il nostro rapporto con il mondo e dare finalmente voce al pianeta Terra, diventato un protagonista essenziale della scena politica.

Serres Michel, Sankey Margaret (TRN), Cowley Peter (TRN) Title : The Five Senses
Author: Serres Michel, Sankey Margaret (TRN), Cowley Peter (TRN)
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Academic

Cowley and Sankey (U. of Sydney) offer a translation of Michel Serres' The Five Senses. Serres, now a professor of the history of science at Stanford University, wrote the piece in 1985 when he was relatively unknown, even in his native France. Serres' writing is a minefield for translators: examples would be his tendency to bend the accepted definitions and uses of words as needed to communicate his thoughts more directly, and to use elements of Greek and Latin in his texts. The writing, at once enigmatic and graceful, has been treated by the translators (with Serres' assistance) with respect and an eye for detail.

Serres Michel, Schehr Lawrence R. (TRN), Wolfe Cary (INT) Title : The Parasite
Author: Serres Michel, Schehr Lawrence R. (TRN), Wolfe Cary (INT)
Publisher: Univ of Minnesota Pr

Influential philosopher Michel Serres's foundational work uses fable to explore how human relations are identical to that of the parasite to the host body. Among Serres's arguments is that by being pests, minor groups can become major players in public dialogue—creating diversity and complexity vital to human life and thought.

 

Michel Serres is professor in history of science at the Sorbonne, professor of Romance languages at Stanford University, and author of several books, including Genesis.

 

Lawrence R. Schehr is professor of French at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

 

Cary Wolfe is Bruce and Elizabeth Dunlevie Professor of English at Rice University. His books include Zoontologies: The Question of the Animal (Minnesota, 2003).

Serres Michel, Glaser Sheila Faria (TRN), Paulson William (TRN) Title : The Troubadour of Knowledge
Author: Serres Michel, Glaser Sheila Faria (TRN), Paulson William (TRN)
Publisher: Univ of Michigan Pr

What do we do when we raise a child, teach a student, or educate a person as a member of society? For the French philosopher Michel Serres, all of these forms of pedagogy require painful yet exhilarating departures from home and encounters with Otherness. Like a swimmer who plunges into the river's current to reach the opposite bank, the person who wishes to learn must risk a voyage from the familiar to the strange. True education, Serres writes, takes place in the fluid middle of this crossing. To be educated is to become a harlequin, a crossbreed, a hybrid of our origins--like a newborn child, complexly produced as a mixture of maternal and paternal genes, yet an independent existence, separated from the familiar and determined.
 
In this wide-ranging meditation on learning and difference, Serres--the scientist turned epistemologist, philosopher turned moralist, reveler of being a half-breed from every point of view--explores numerous pathways in philosophy, science, and literature to argue that the best contemporary education requires knowledge of both science's general truths and literature's singular stories. He heralds a new pedagogy which claims that from the crossbreeding of the humanities and the sciences a new educational ideal can be born: the troubadour of knowledge.
 
With his agile and poetic voice, Serres has created a meditation of precisely this pluralistic creation, deftly recognizing it as a third party bred not of orderly dialectics but of the destabilizing multiplicity of the present age. Those who know the enormous range and clarity of this thinker will welcome this latest volume translated into English by Sheila Glaser with the assistance of William Paulson.
 
Michel Serres has taught at Clermont-Ferrand, the University of Paris VIII [Vincennes], the Sorbonne, and Stanford University, and has served as visiting professor at Johns Hopkins University. Other works of his available in English translation include Conversations on Science, Culture, and Time (with Bruno Latour), Genesis, and The Natural Contract, also published by The University of Michigan Press.
 
Sheila Glaser is Reviews Editor of Artforum magazine. William Paulson is Professor of French and Chair of the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan.

Serres Michel, James Genevieve (TRN), Nielson James (TRN) Title : Genesis
Author: Serres Michel, James Genevieve (TRN), Nielson James (TRN)
Publisher: Univ of Michigan Pr

This English translation of Michel Serres' 1982 book Genèse captures in lucid prose the startling breadth and depth of his thinking, as he probes the relations between order, disorder, knowledge, anxiety, and violence. Written in a unique blend of scientific discourse and lyrical outburst, classical philosophical idiom and conversational intimacy, by turns angry, playful, refined or discordant, Genesis is an attempt to think outside of metaphysical categories of unity or rational order and to make us hear--through both its content and form--the "noise," the "sound and the fury," that are the background of life and thought.
Serres draws on a vast knowledge of such diverse disciplines as anthropology, classical history, music, theology, art history, information theory, physics, biology, dance and athletics, and Western metaphysics, and a range of cultural material that includes the writings of Plato, Kant, August Comte, Balzac, and Shakespeare, to name a few. He argues that although philosophy has been instrumental in the past in establishing laws of logic and rationality that have been crucial to our understanding of ourselves and our universe, one of the most pressing tasks of thought today is to recognize that such pockets of unity are islands of order in a sea of multiplicity--a sea which cannot really be conceived, but which perhaps can still be sensed, felt, and heard raging in chaos beneath the momentary crests of order imposed by human civilization.
Philosophy of science or prose poetry, a classical meditation on metaphysics or a stream-of-consciousness polemic and veiled invective, Serres mounts a quirky, at times rhapsodical, but above all a "noisy" critique of traditional and current models in social theory, historiography, and aesthetics. The result is a work that is at once provocative, poetic, deeply personal, and ultimately religious--an apocalyptic call for the rebirth of philosophy as the art of thinking the unthinkable.
About the Book:
"An intensely beautiful and rigourous meditation on the birth of forms amid chaos and multiplicity from a major philosopher who is also an exquisite craftsman of the written word." --William Paulson, University of Michigan
"Serres exhibits a rare, raw tendentiousness refreshing in its vitriol . . . it's the sort of light-hearted, perverse, and basically liberal tirade one hears too infrequently of late." --Word

Serres Michel, Macarthur Elizabeth, Paulson William Title : The Natural Contract
Author: Serres Michel, Macarthur Elizabeth, Paulson William
Publisher: Univ of Michigan Pr

Global environmental change, argues Michel Serres, has forced us to reconsider our relationship to nature. In this translation of his influential 1990 book Le Contrat Naturel, Serres calls for a natural contract to be negotiated between Earth and its inhabitants.
World history is often referred to as the story of human conflict. Those struggles that are seen as our history must now include the uncontrolled violence that humanity perpetrates upon the earth, and the uncontrollable menace to human life posed by the earth in reaction to this violence. Just as a social contract once brought order to human relations, Serres believes that we must now sign a "natural contract" with the earth to bring balance and reciprocity to our relations with the planet that gives us life. Our survival depends on the extent to which humans join together and act globally, on an earth now conceived as an entity.
Tracing the ancient beginnings of modernity, Serres examines the origins and possibilities of a natural contract through an extended meditation on the contractual foundations of law and science. By invoking a nonhuman, physical world, Serres asserts, science frees us from the oppressive confines of a purely social existence, but threatens to become a totalitarian order in its own right. The new legislator of the natural contract must bring science and law into balance.
Serres ends his meditation by retelling the story of the natural contract as a series of parables. He sees humanity as a spacecraft that with the help of science and technology has cast off from familiar moorings. In place of the ties that modernity and analytic reason have severed, we find a network of relations both stranger and stronger than any we once knew, binding us to one another and to the world. The philosopher's harrowing and joyous task, Serres tells us, is that of comprehending and experiencing the bonds of violence and love that unite us in our spacewalk to the spaceship Mother Earth.
"Wise, rich and poetic . . . not simply a philosophical study of the Environment, or an ecological questioning of Philosophy . . . Nature is acknowledged as an inside force which breaks [the philosopher's] discourse, and opens it up to a vigilant poetic meditation."--Substance: A Review of Theory and Literary Criticism

Serres Michel, Latour Bruno, Lapidus Roxanne (TRN) Title : Conversations on Science, Culture, and Time
Author: Serres Michel, Latour Bruno, Lapidus Roxanne (TRN)
Publisher: Univ of Michigan Pr

Although elected to the prestigious French Academy in 1990, Michel Serres has long been considered a maverick--a provocative thinker whose prolific writings on culture, science and philosophy have often baffled more than they have enlightened. In these five lively interviews with sociologist Bruno Latour, this increasingly important cultural figure sheds light on the ideas that inspire his highly original, challenging, and transdisciplinary essays.
 
Serres begins by discussing the intellectual context and historical events-- including the impact of World War II and Hiroshima, which for him marked the beginning of science's ascendancy over the humanities--that shaped his own philosophical outlook and led him to his lifelong mission of bringing together the texts of the humanities and the conceptual revolutions of modern science. He then confronts the major difficulties encountered by his readers: his methodology, his mathematician's fondness for "shortcuts" in argument, and his criteria for juxtaposing disparate elements from different epochs and cultures in extraordinary combinations. Finally, he discusses his ethic for the modern age--a time when scientific advances have replaced the natural necessities of disease and disaster with humankind's frightening new responsibility for vital things formerly beyond its control.
 
In the course of these conversations Serres revisits and illuminates many of his themes: the chaotic nature of knowledge, the need for connections between science and the humanities, the futility of traditional criticism, and what he calls his "philosophy of prepositions"--an argument for considering prepositions, rather than the conventionally emphasized verbs and substantives, as the linguistic keys to understanding human interactions. For readers familiar with Serres's works as well as for the uninitiated, Conversations on a Life in Philosophy provides fascinating insights into the mind of this appealing, innovative and ardent thinker.
 
Michel Serres has taught at Clermont-Ferrand, at the University of Paris VIII (Vincennes) and at the Sorbonne. He has served as visiting professor at Johns Hopkins University and has been on the faculty of Stanford University since 1984. Bruno Latour, a philosopher and anthropologist, is Professor of Sociology, L'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines in Paris. He has written several books and numerous articles on the ties between the sciences and the rest of culture and society.
 
Roxanne Lapidus is Managing Editor of SubStance: A Review of Theory and Literary Criticism. Conversations on a Life in Philosophy was originally published in France as Eclaircissements.
