Roland Barthes parle de Jules Michelet

Quel rapport ? Tout le monde se fout de "l'image de prestige de la France". (D'ailleurs c'est quoi une "image de prestige" ? Je trouve la formule un peu ridicule.)

une seule difference.: Foucault etait un homosexuel et Chomsky est un HOMME! allez saute toi , nule

reduire un penseur a sa sexualite... racaille!

He's such an elegant man, and sounds just how I imagined! I loved Empire of Signs - the poetry and acuity of his observations are breathtaking.

"bart" (with a french accent)... You're right.

This may will sounds very naive, and lazy because i'm sure its said in one of these videos.. but how do pronounce his last name?! Is it Bart?? Im an a-level student and a great admirer of him but am too ashamed to ask anyone i know....

You have to pronounce it " Bart ", with the french accent, you don't pronounce "es", the end of his last name is pronounced in french like the end of " Becke-tt " in english.

Barthes et Michelet sont des monuments dans la pensée sur l'histoire et la société.

Par ailleurs, il est ardu de faire une traduction quand on sait à quel point il faut s'initier et fréquenter ces ouvrages fondateurs. Il faut se donner une chance de les lire en français ou alors se contenter de condensés de vulgarisation. Que voulez-vous?

I agree with the French party: it's such a shame that anglo saxons keep on looking just at their inside (where empirism still reings) and neglect other kind of knowledge. But let me answer a question done before: who thought of Barthes (and Foucault and Levi Strauss and Derrida...): Robert Darnton, as far as I'm concerned, the greatest US historian, dead or alive. Ah, and don't forget Arthur C. Danto and his amazing point of view, much stronger than Chomsky's one.

All of them are available in english.theyre also astounding, and in parts very touching-for different reasons with every reading
