L’article, qui s’appuie sur le dépouillement d’archives d’une juridiction d’exception, la Cour de sûreté de l’État, vise à comprendre la systématisation du recours à l’expertise psychiatrique dans le ...cadre de la répression des « ennemis publics ». Il essaie dès lors d’en dégager les conditions de possibilité, en insistant sur le bouleversement des logiques répressives induit par la création d’un nouveau tribunal spécialisé dans le jugement des crimes et des délits politiques. Ce faisant, il éclaire aussi les modalités de résistance à cette pratique, inédite par sa banalisation, et la manière dont elle peut être détournée par les militants. Il s’agit surtout de montrer en quoi l’expertise psychiatrique participe d’une pathologisation du militantisme radical, par des procédés complémentaires d’anormalisation/normalisation des illégalismes commis ; et, plus généralement, comment elle favorise le long processus de dépolitisation des crimes et des délits.
Les mobilisations de différents groupes de personnes handicapées contre les quêtes organisées en leur nom et contre la loi d’orientation du 30 juin 1975 « en leur faveur » passent pour un ...épiphénomène des années 1970. Le handicap serait le dernier de la liste des « nouveaux mouvements sociaux » émergeant à cette époque. La socio-histoire de ces mouvements restitue dans son contexte ce qui n’est ni un effet mécanique de « l’air du temps », ni le surgissement « spontané » d’une nouvelle subjectivité, au sein d’une population qui serait préconstituée.
Ce projet de thèse vise à explorer les réalisations artistiques ainsi que les approches critiques et théoriques du concept complexe de « système » en lien avec les transformations du dessin entre ...1965 et 1975. Le discours autour de la notion de « système » prévaut dans le monde de l’après-guerre, notamment dans les années 1960 et 1970. L’ « esthétique des systèmes » telle que théorisée par le critique d’art Jack Burnham dans son article « Systems Aesthetics » publié dans Artforum en 1968, qui signale la transition radicale d’une culture orientée vers les objets vers une culture orientée vers les systèmes, constitue notre point de départ. Nous examinons la notion du système en essayant de mettre en lumière les interconnexions entre les théories de l'information et des systèmes, le modèle cybernétique, le « tournant linguistique » dans la période 1965-1975. Au cours de cette période, le dessin devient un champ privilégié pour le développement des méthodologies systémiques. A travers les cas de onze artistes, Sol LeWitt, Mel Bochner, Hanne Darboven, Dorothea Rockburne, Robert Morris, Alighiero Boetti, John Latham, Bernar Venet, Lee Lozano, Stanley Brouwn et William Anastasi, nous examinons les expérimentations artistiques autour de « systèmes de dessins » : des systèmes linguistiques et arithmétiques, des systèmes auto-poïétiques, ainsi que des stratégies systémiques se déroulant dans le contexte spatiotemporel. En se focalisant sur l’hétérogénéité et la diversification de ces pratiques, nous analysons les traductions formelles et conceptuelles du dessin qui manifestent l’autonomisation et la reconceptualisation de ce medium durant la période examinée.
This thesis aims at exploring the artistic realizations as well as the critical and theoretical approaches of the complex and multidimensional concept of "system" in relation to the transformation of drawing between 1965 and 1975. The discourse around the notion of “system” prevails the post-war world, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. The aesthetics of systems, as theorized by art critic Jack Burnham in his article “Systems Aesthetics” published at the Artforum in 1968- which signals the radical transition from an object-oriented culture to a systems-oriented culture - is the starting point of this thesis. We examine the notion of the system by attempting to highlight the interconnections between information and systems theories, the cybernetic model, the “linguistic turn” and its implications for the development of conceptual artistic practices in the period 1965-1975. In this period, drawing became a privileged field for the development of systemic methodologies. Through the cases of eleven artists, Sol LeWitt, Mel Bochner, Hanne Darboven, Dorothea Rockburne, Robert Morris, Alighiero Boetti, John Latham, Bernar Venet, Lee Lozano, Stanley Brouwn and William Anastasi, this thesis examines the artistic experimentation on “systems of drawings”: linguistic and arithmetic systems of diagrammatic order, autopoietic systems, as well as systemic strategies that take place in the spatiotemporal context. By focusing on the heterogeneity, the diversification and the hybridization of these practices, the thesis analyzes the formal and conceptual translations of the drawing which demand the autonomisation and the reconceptualisation of this medium in the period that we examine
The year 1968 witnessed one of the great upheavals of the twentieth century, as social movements shook every continent. Across the Global North, people rebelled against post-war conformity and ...patriarchy, authoritarian education and factory work, imperialism and the Cold War. They took over workplaces and universities, created their own media, art and humour, and imagined another world. The legacy of 1968 lives on in many of today's struggles, yet it is often misunderstood and caricatured. Voices of 1968 is a vivid collection of original texts from the movements of the long 1968. We hear these struggles in their own words, showing their creativity and diversity. We see feminism, black power, anti-war activism, armed struggle, indigenous movements, ecology, dissidence, counter-culture, trade unionism, radical education, lesbian and gay struggles, and more take the stage. Chapters cover France, Czechoslovakia, Northern Ireland, Britain, the USA, Canada, Italy, West Germany, Denmark, Mexico, Yugoslavia and Japan. Introductory essays frame the rich material - posters, speeches, manifestos, flyers, underground documents, images and more - to help readers explore the era's revolutionary voices and ideas and understand their enduring impact on society, culture and politics today.

Topics include (among others) category formation, comparison, ethnophilosophy, hermeneutics, methodology, myth, phenomenology, philosophy of science, scientific atheism, structuralism, and theories of religion. From time to time the series publishes volumes that map the state of the art and the history of the discipline.
A compelling portrait of rock's greatest guitarist at the moment of his ascendance,Stone Freeis the first book to focus exclusively on the happiest and most productive period of Jimi Hendrix's life. ...As it begins in the fall of 1966, he's an under-sung, under-accomplished sideman struggling to survive in New York City. Nine months later, he's the toast of Swinging London, a fashion icon, and the brightest star to step off the stage at the Monterey International Pop Festival. This momentum-building, day-by-day account of this extraordinary transformation offers new details into Jimi's personality, relationships, songwriting, guitar innovations, studio sessions, and record releases. It explores the social changes sweeping the U.K., Hendrix's role in the dawning of "flower power," and the prejudice he faced while fronting the Jimi Hendrix Experience. In addition to featuring the voices of Jimi, his bandmates, and other eyewitnesses,Stone Freedraws extensively from contemporary accounts published in English- and foreign-language newspapers and music magazines. This celebratory account is a must-read for Hendrix fans.
The Scene of Foreplay: Theater, Labor, and Leisure in 1960s New Yorksuggests "foreplay" as a theoretical framework for understanding a particular mode of performance production. That mode exists ...outside of predetermined structures of recognition in terms of professionalism, artistic achievement, and a logic of eventfulness. Foreplay denotes a peculiar way of working and inhabiting time in performance. It is recognized as emblematic of a constellation of artists in the 1960s New York scene, including Ellen Stewart, John Vaccaro, Ruby Lynn Reyner, Jackie Curtis, Andy Warhol, Tom Eyen, Jack Smith, and Penny Arcade.Matching an original approach to historical materials and theoretical reflection, Palladini addresses the peculiar forms of production, reproduction, and consumption developed in the 1960s as labors of love, creating for artists a condition of "preliminarity" toward professional work and also functioning as a counterforce within productive economy, as a prelude where value is not yet assigned to labor.The Scene of Foreplayproposes that such labors of love can be considered both as paradigmatic for contemporary forms of precarious labor and also resonating with echoes from marginal histories of the performing arts, in a nonlinear genealogy of queer resistance to ideas of capitalist productivity and professionalism. The book offers much for those interested in performance theory as well asin the history of theater and performance arts in the 1960s.
<!CDATAThis landmark book, together with its accompanying CD, captures the heady excitement of the vibrant, irreverent poetry scene of New York's Lower East Side in the 1960s. Drawing from personal ...interviews with many of the participants, from unpublished letters, and from rare sound recordings, Daniel Kane brings together for the first time the people, political events, and poetic roots that coalesced into a highly influential community. From the poetry-reading venues of the early sixties, such as those at the Les Deux Mégots and Le Metro coffeehouses to The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church, a vital forum for poets to this day, Kane traces the history of this literary renaissance, showing how it was born from a culture of publicly performed poetry. The Lower East Side in the sixties proved foundational in American verse culture, a defining era for the artistic and political avant-garde.
The voices and works of John Ashbery, Amiri Baraka, Charles Bernstein, Bill Berkson, Ted Berrigan, Kenneth Koch, Bernadette Mayer, Ron Padgett, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Frank O'Hara, and many others enliven these pages, and the thirty five-track CD includes recordings of several of the poets reading from their work in the sixties and seventies. The Lower East Side's cafes, coffeehouses, and salons brought together poets of various aesthetic sensibilities, including writers associated with the so-called New York School, Beats, Black Mountain, Deep Image, San Francisco Renaissance, Umbra, and others. Kane shows that the significance for literary history of this loosely defined community of poets and artists lies in part in its reclaiming an orally centered poetic tradition, adapted specifically to open up the possibilities for an aesthetically daring, playful poetics and a politics of joy and resistance.>
