Michel Foucault’s work on film, although not extensive, compellingly illustrates the power of bringing his unique vision to bear on the subject and offers valuable insights into other aspects of his thought. Foucault at the Movies brings together all of Foucault’s commentary on film, some of it available for the first time in English, along with important contemporary analysis and further extensions of this work.Patrice Maniglier and Dork Zabunyan situate Foucault’s writings on film in the context of the rest of his work as well as within a broad historical and philosophical framework. They detail how Foucault’s work directly or indirectly inspired both film critics and directors in surprising ways and discuss his ideas in relation to significant movements within film theory and practice. The book includes film reviews and discussions by Foucault as well as his interviews with the prestigious film magazine Cahiers du cinéma and other journals. Also included are his dialogues with the noted French feminist writer Hélène Cixous and film directors Werner Schroeter and René Féret. Throughout, Foucault and those he is in conversation with reflect on the relationship of film to history, the body, power and politics, knowledge, sexuality, aesthetics, and institutions of internment. Foucault at the Movies makes all of Foucault’s writings on film available to an English-speaking audience in one volume and offers detailed, up-to-date commentary, inviting us to go to the movies with Foucault.

La Vie énigmatique des signes Le Cours de linguistique générale de Ferdinand de Saussure, texte fondateur dont se revendiqueront Lévi-Strauss, Lacan, Barthes et tout le mouvement connu sous le nom de structuralisme, est pourtant un texte mystérieux, rédigé par des disciples après sa mort à partir de notes de cours. Montrant que cette énigme de Saussure n'est autre que celle des signes eux-mêmes, qui se transforment à mesure qu'on les utilise, ce livre reconstitue dans toute son ampleur et dans toute son actualité la pensée fragmentée du maître du structuralisme. On comprend alors comment une obscure découverte linguistique de la fin du XIXe siècle a ouvert aux grandes œuvres de la philosophie française des années 50 et 70. Loin d'être un ouvrage d'érudition, ce livre plaide en faveur d'une réouverture des questions du structuralisme. Il nous apprend que parler, c'est toujours parler une langue en train de se transformer. Par les signes, nos pensées nous échappent et se mettent à vivre d'une vie propre ¿ nous entraînant dans une histoire dont nul n'est jamais maître.
