Eric - John Russell's translation of Jaime Sempr n's brutal takedown of France's best - known intellectuals of the post - 1968 period A Gallery of Recuperation is one of the first full English versions of any of Sempr n's books. Originally titled Pr cis de recuperation the book is a scathing critique of ten major thinkers including Michel Foucault Gilles Deleuze Jean - Fran ois Lyotard and Cornelius Castoriadis. Sempr n uses this catalog of careerism to reflect on the concept of recuperation capitalism's uncanny ability to coopt anticapitalist critiques and subvert subversion. His central question: What happens to revolutionary ideas including Marxism itself in the hands of professional intellectuals? Sempr n's idiosyncratic and playful style of polemics takes existentialism humanism structuralism poststructuralism postmodernism aesthetics and psychoanalysis to task casting new light on the figures who have become dominant staples of modern Anglophone academia and proving the necessity of critiquing intellectuals roles within contemporary capitalism. A cult classic among the French radical left and scholars of the Situationist International and May 1968, A Gallery of Recuperation never made the impact it should have. Russell's translation marks a major step in recognizing Sempr n's work beyond its French context.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: A Gallery Of Recuperation On The Merits Of Slandering Charlatans Swindlers And Frauds\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Russell Eric - John\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Mit Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780262546171\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 200 Pages, 1 Black And White Illus.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 8\/1\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Politics \u0026amp; Government","brand":"Russell Eric - John","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593843253553,"sku":"IN-G-9780262546171","price":16.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780262546171.jpg?v=1724355140","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780262546171-a-gallery-of-recuperation-on-the-merits-of-slandering-charlatans-swindlers-and-frauds","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
