TV series Puf are launching a new series… Given the unprecedented success enjoyed by TV series today, Puf decided to publish a series of books that decode this phenomenon using the social sciences. Written by specialists in this domain, each volume provides material to nourish reflection on the hidden mechanisms of a form of entertainment that tells us a great deal about our world, about society and about us. The goal of these books is to explain how they do this in a world that is seeking its bearings.

The DicTionary of cinema: Thinking films Directed by

antoine de Baecque and Philippe chevallier This dictionary marks a new approach to thinking about the cinema. Films are, in themselves, a way of thinking, as Jean-Luc Godard suggests when he describes cinema as ‘thought with a form of its own, a thinking form.’ Through almost 400 stimulating entries written by more than 70 specialists from various disciplines (history, philosophy, psychoanalysis, psychology, semiology…) the Dictionary of Cinema: Thinking Films projects the central role played by the cinema in our understanding of the world. Antoine de Baecque, film critic and historian, is a Professor at the Paris West University Nanterre La Défense. Philippe Chevallier, PhD, works at the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

constantly useful work that reminds us of the meaningful place held by cinema in contemporary thought.” Le Monde des Livres

“An extremely stimulating volume”

Les Inrockuptibles

“Cinema is an object, but it is above all a place of thought […].Today, that thought has its own history, and this Dictionary of Cinema, the first of its kind, gives a full account through its 400 entries which include around 130 concepts, 110 critics and theoreticians, 50 ‘thinking film-makers’ and about a hundred “thinking films.” Philosophie Magazine

“A marvel of erudition and sensitivity”

Le Figaro Magazine

“This is […] an innovating book that combines academic erudition

with a sense of journalistic expression; theoretical explanation with the pleasure of anecdotes; a historical and a humorous approach. […] Droll and intelligent, it is an absolute must - like one of Jean-Luc Godard’s aphorisms developed over 816 pages.” Décision Santé

Clément Safra graduated in cinema studies. Most of his work has focused on the cinema of Hollywood. He has done research on ‘Mickey Mouse, the American hero’.

What the papers say... “With Tintin on the screen, books on Spielberg are springing up like mushrooms, but the most stimulating must be the Spielberg Dictionary by Clément Safra.” Les Cahiers du cinéma “Clément Safra makes use of commentaries nurtured by his fine knowledge of films seen over and over again. In his own impassioned way, Safra provides us with descriptive and anecdotal texts but also takes the time to share some deeper reflections.”

Today, Hollywood’s film industry has fallen heir to the genres that made its fortune. But since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, and especially since 9/11, the old Cold War recipes have been rehashed into sombre and violent films where the fear of cataclysm and the cult of force are irresistibly enacted.

Pierre-rené serna

We have very good reasons not to subscribe to Wagner: his ideology, his aesthetics, his music. This book is an antidote to 2013, a discordant note in the celebration ad nauseam of the bicentenary of Richard Wagner’s birth. With just a touch of partiality and a sprinkling of malice, the author presents a counter argument developed by theme, in entries arranged in alphabetical order, which the reader may dip into according to his fancy, irritation or amusement. Pierre-René Serna is a journalist and a musicographist who contributes to various European reviews. A Spanish Parisian at heart, he also has other passions, such as architecture, horn music and bagpipes. He authored Cahier de l’Herne Berlioz (Codirection), Berlioz de B à Z (Van de Velde) and Guide de la Zarzuela (Bleu Nuit).

semioTics of Design anne Beyaert-geslin

The author studies the signification of different pieces of furniture taking a particular interest in the chair. Why is the presence of a chair different from that of a piece of sculpture? Why is the chair different from any other seat? What extra meaning does a designer bestow upon the object of design? By exploring items from these diverse viewpoints, the author reveals the designer’s constraints one by one while identifying the creative points already present in sketches of new objects. Taken out of its familiar context which prevents us from seeing it properly, the chair recovers its signification, so providing us with some precious prolegomena to a future semiotics of design.

A bastion of Christianity against the Ottoman threat, a place of splendour at the court of Maria-Theresa and a musical capital where the work of Schubert echoed that of Mozart and Haydn, Vienna also sheltered the avant-gardes of the early 20th century at the time of the Secession and Klimt, when Freud and Kafka were opening up new paths of knowledge to the world. David Tarot is a Professor of History in Bourgogne, a specialist of the Germanic world. He has often visited the countries on the banks of the Danube, working on historical, artistic and cultural themes.

Contents

The frontier between the Roman Empire and the ‘Barbarians’, the Danube was inevitably a unifying factor of the new Europe. On its banks, Austria became, throughout the centuries, the centre of gravity of the great Hapsburg Empire; and Vienna, its capital, one of the major centres of European culture.

In this summa of ancient Judaism which combines political and religious history, it appears clearly that the evolution of the Jewish religion, and of the culture and the society it engendered, is not the product of an autarky. Judaism took shape in keeping with its times and evolved alongside the civilizations that created it.

This study of that ancient history is a landmark for all those who seek a deeper understanding of the roots of a Judaism that is less rigid than historiography had, until now, led us to believe.

from rhos To russia

Pierre gonneau and aleksandr lavrov The author recounts a long history that begins around 730, when the first Rhos, Vikings, settled on the banks of Lake Ladogad. He describes how, thanks to them, this ‘Russian land’ whose centre is Kiev was established between the 10th and the 13th century, the mutations that took place under Mongol domination (1237-1480) and the slow formation of an Empire centred in Moscow, that nevertheless claimed to descend from the Rus’ of Byzantium and Genghis Khan. The Muscovy of Ivan the Terrible and the first Romanovs then took on a unique position: a great European power in the making and the conqueror of Northern Asia. Pierre Gonneau is a Professor at Paris-Sorbonne University and director of studies at the École pratique des hautes études. He has authored several books about medieval Russian culture, particularly about Sergius of Radonezh and Andrei Rublev. Aleksandr Lavrov is a Professor at the University of Vincennes-Saint-Denis. Among other periods, his work has focused on the 17th and 18th centuries in Russia, more specifically on the regency of Tsarina Sophie - half-sister to Peter the Great - and on the relation between official religion, popular religion and the practice of magic. 7

At a time when peoples all over the world are turning towards the democratic republic – and as Europe hesitates to build a common one – what do we really know about the history of the European republic?

Contents

Blandine kriegel

This book tells the original, little known history of the modern republic, born of the unexpected encounter between two traditions: those of the republic of the city, and those of modern political law of the State, which permitted the revolt of the Netherlands to triumph over Philippe II’s imperial despotism.

Blandine Kriegel, philosopher, Emeritus Professor, played a pioneering role in the redeployment of political philosophy by revitalizing the notion of Rule of Law, which earned her international renown. Her work explores philosophy and political history through the evolution of the State and concepts of political law in the ancient and modern republic. Some of her work is translated (into English, Chinese, etc.) and is more often discussed abroad than in France today, especially in the United States.

“Blandine Kriegel’s book is an important one which, in many respects, chimes in with today’s ideological and political mood.” Le Point “With her idea of the emergence of the modern republic at the Renaissance, (the philosopher) casts new light on the debates about European construction.” Le Figaro “A passionate study on the birth of the modern State” Royaliste

Einstein was not just a physician of genius; he also participated in the events of his century. A man of influence who enjoyed great popularity, Einstein never sought power for himself: he unhesitatingly refused the presidency of the young State of Israel. This rare lack of personal advancement, the force of his vision, the ethical dimension of his commitment and especially his astonishingly accurate intuitions and political judgments have bestowed upon him something of the aura of a prophet.

in Praise of reVenge Revenge is generally considered to be an archaic and arbitrary reaction, recalling a time when violence prevailed over law. Yet in many situations, it appears to be normal behaviour, likely to procure relief after one has been the victim of an unjustified wrong or a mark of disdain. In On the Genealogy of Morals, Nietzsche recalls that compensation or reparation constitute an immanent form of justice supported by an anthropological reality: man cannot remain a humiliated consciousness.

The meTaPhysics of BurnouT The phenomenon we call burnout is not just an individual problem that affects a few exhausted people. It holds up a mirror to dysfunctions in the relations between human beings and their material environment. After analysing the archaeology of the concept, the author distinguishes three main types of burnout: the first, specific to professions who help others, appears to be the exhaustion of their humanism; the second, a trouble of adaptation and perfectionism; the third a consequence of the struggle for recognition. The philosophical implications of each of these three states is identified. Finally, burnout can also be an occasion to rethink the pact between human and technicity, and reinterpret the notion of progress.

ge care sTuDies A crucial and topical question at the heart of today’s society, care is the subject of the most lively discussions involving many disciplines, from the medical world to moral philosophy and politics, taking in the human and social sciences, literature and the arts. The centre of debates between medicine and ethics, care providers and politicians, man and his environment, it involves many professions (medical and beyond) and emerging problems (technical and ethical); it has metaphysical dimensions and calls for political projections. But the theory of care also introduces a new model of human and social sciences: the abandon of strict rationalism, the integration of feminist and gender issues, post-colonial studies and reflections on vulnerability, dependence and interdependence. The domain of care is extending to more and more disciplines: philosophy, sociology, psychology as well as law, economy and political science. Today, Puf is publishing a series of brief and succinct books (64 pages, 6€) for those who provide care and those who receive it. They bring greater understanding of the theoretical and practical implications of care, in the aim of nourishing on-going and future debates.

Sociology has developed tools and methods that permit us to answer, in a rigorous manner, these questions and many more on a multitude of political, moral and religious phenomena cited by the eight studies assembled in Believing and Knowing.

a hisTorical anD criTical DicTionary of racism edited by Pierre-andré Taguieff 550 articles in an exhaustive inventory propose a critical examination of explanatory models of racism; drawing on sociology, social anthropology, social psychology, history, political philosophy… This dictionary casts a historical and conceptual light on all the debates and controversies that enter into the phenomenon of racism – from everyday stigmatization (insults) to organized massacres – hence the choice to take into account the demarcations of the phenomenon (intolerance, ethnocentrism, xenophobia) as well as its hard core (doctrinal constructions and biological concepts). There is also a comparative approach (‘Exclusion’, ‘Colour’, ‘Crime against humanity’, ‘Genocide’, ‘Ethnic cleansing’…), analyses of social interaction (anti-Black, anti-White, anti-immigrant…), and entries such as ‘authoritative personality’, ‘collective identity’, ‘conspiracy theories’, ‘multiculturalism’… which open up another facet of reflection. This Dictionary of Racism is equally a Dictionary of Antiracism: the various traditions emanating from Abolitionism, Anti-colonialism, Anti-imperialism, Anti-nationalism and Anti-fascism are analysed in numerous articles. A multi-author book covering racism in all its manifestations, this dictionary is a reasoned and critical response to the anxiety and fear inspired by globalization and its mixophobia. It also helps us understand what ‘new racism’ – racism without races or any claims of inequality - can mean. A new challenge for humanity.

DicTionary of fooD anD eaTing edited by Jean-Pierre Poulain

More than 230 studies, written by 162 specialists from a wide variety of linguistic horizons and complementary scientific domains (anthropology, sociology, medicine, history of religions, psychology, law, economy, history, geography, international health policy…) make up the menu of the Dictionary of Food and Eating. This dictionary is the first to reveal the diversity and the richness in meaning covered by all aspects of food and eating. October 2012 1536 pages • 42 €

Thinking about this subject naturally takes us straight to the heart of social and cultural dialectics: those of home-grown produce and globalization, of authenticity and food standardization, of the symbolic and the real, of animality and humanity. But we also have to situate it, oscillating between extremes such as giving and depriving, aid and weapon, malnutrition and fattening, undisciplined thinking and industrial rationality, nutri-genetics and nutri-genomics, the herbivorous and mad cow disease, gastronomy and fast-food, the basic need and the sophisticated religious rite… in brief, from incorporation to individual identity: when we eat, we signify our belonging to a culture.

Sociologist, Jean-Pierre Poulain is a Professor at the University Toulouse Le Mirail (Centre d’Études et de Recherche Travail Organisation Pouvoir). Puf published his Sociologie de l’obésité (2008, Portuguese rights already sold) and Sociologies de l’alimentation (3th ed. 2011, Italian and Portuguese rights already sold).

DaViD le BreTon Anthropologist and sociologist, David Le Breton is a Professor at the University of Strasbourg, member of the Institut Universitaire de France and the Institut des Etudes Avancées at the University of Strasbourg. His research focuses above all on the anthropology of the body and the anthropology of adolescence. The many books he has written explore the social and cultural construction of the body, especially in the contemporary context. Among them, Puf published: Anthropologie du corps et modernité, latest edition with update in 2011 (translated into eight languages including Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Rumanian …) while La sociologie du corps, in the ‘Que sais-je?’ series has been translated into four languages. He has also written books on the anthropology of risk and, in particular, high risk behaviour in young people or deliberate risks taken by people who practice physical activities and sports: La sociologie du risque (Puf, Que sais-je?) and Conduites à risque. Des jeux de mort au jeu de vivre (Quadrige). He also wrote a manual: L’interactionnisme symbolique and edited Dictionnaire de l’adolescence et de la jeunesse, both published by Puf.

memoirs of a Transsexual the sleeping self

marie edith cypris Although transsexualism is no longer considered to be a mental illness, today’s term - transsexuality doesn’t tell us a great deal more about this inexplicable condition. Even the word ‘condition’ is becoming obsolete as a reference to what is now seen as a human right: for men and women to change their sex. Between a pathology endured and a chosen fantasy, the gap is manifest; as wide as the gap between a burdensome affliction and an eccentric whim.

■ Leaving home for good during the teens

Exploring her own experience, the author merges the attitudes of academics and of transsexuals themselves, in order to achieve an unusual synthesis. She testifies to the torments of her teens, she whose future was to be accomplished in the opposite sex to that of her birth. She tries to understand how the young man she once was veered towards his inescapable destiny and into this tumultuous biography. Without the slightest self-indulgence, and with a truly original vision of gender identity problems, she asks many questions that have never been raised before. Through her reflections on the problematic of sexual identity, she challenges us to think the radical changes which could result from an abolition of gender.

A notion as important as repression, whose positive creative outcome it constitutes (as opposed to neurosis), sublimation occupies a paradoxical position in psychoanalysis: never totally defined by its founder, it is however indispensable if we want to reflect on the origins of feelings of affection, social links, artistic achievements and even the ‘pleasure of thinking’.

narcissism Narcissism is a key concept in psychoanalytical theory and may be located at the heart of the construction of personalities, characters, and identities. This book invites us to explore narcissism in its various forms, from narcissistic wounds to the rage and the depression narcissism may provoke; touching also upon pernicious narcissistic perversion. Paul Denis, internationally esteemed for his publications, is a psychoanalyst, member of the Société psychanalytique de Paris.

the Key Concepts of Psychoanalysis gérard Pirlot and Dominique cupa André Green (1927-2012) was one of the great thinkers of contemporary psychoanalysis. He was an outstanding clinical practitioner and theoretician and many of his concepts have altered our metapsychological comprehension of how the psyche functions. We owe to him the elaboration of an original model for theoretical and clinical thinking which has become indispensable today when non-neurotic structures, his specialization, are treated clinically. He reformulated the fundamentals of metapsychology while respecting Freud’s edifice and adding contributions from major thinkers such as J. Lacan, D.W. Winnicott and W.R. Bion, so renovating psychoanalytical method. This book covers the principal of André Green’s major concepts in two parts: first, the conceptual genealogy up until 1996, then, working from the elaboration of the concept of clinical thinking, the evolution of André Green’s paradigms.

Psychoanalysis in PalesTine The author retraces the history of Freudism in Palestine before the creation of the State of Israel. A history of immigration, tragedies, ideological combats and powerful personalities, against a background of anti-Semitism and the rise of Nazism… But this book also tells the story of the resistance to psychoanalysis and Freud’s ambiguity regarding Palestine and Zionism. By exploring the reception of psychoanalysis in this country, Guido Liebermann takes us to the heart of the history of the Jewish people and the agonizing birth of the State of Israel, while revealing the incredible richness of that unique adventure.

epilogue: psychoanalysis in israel after WW2: ambiguities and consternation

conferences The professional seminar held in Beijing, a Puf initiative organised with the support of the Institut Français, brought together researchers, publishers, translators and booksellers. The aim was to instigate a collective reflection on the objectives set by human science publishers in France and in China (to valorise research, satisfy the expectations of specialized readers, widen their readership, adjust content to societal debates), as well as on the challenges facing those publishers today (the development of digital technology, the invention of new ways of reading, writing and diffusing). The day was organized in four round tables, one of which was devoted to the various problems linked to translation – the training of specialized translators in the appropriate domains, the time required and the cost of translation – but also the available financial support for translations, the contribution of translators to the diffusion of research, bringing authors and important texts to the public’s attention. Lastly, the multiple possibilities offered by translation projects to authors (writing prefaces, adding chapters, updating bibliographies, making corrections) were discussed.

BeiJing 7 April 2012

This June, the Puf foreign rights department organized what it hopes to be the first in a series of events geared toward translators working in the fields of social and human sciences.

Paris 15 June 2012

Over forty translators working to and from languages as diverse as German, Japanese, Chinese and Russian attended the gathering, held in Paris. Translators were able to discuss amongst themselves, sharing experiences and trajectories. It emerged that there is no one formula for becoming a translator, except interest and, often, academic training in the field the translator is working in. Invitees had the unique opportunity to hear English-language translator Catherine Porter speak with Luc Boltanski about their collaboration on the translations of several books by the French sociologist. A variety of interesting issues came up: what does a word like ‘grandeur’ become in English? When is it possible to maintain unusual or rare-sounding words in a translation? Where do ‘concepts’ come in and how can translations into different languages help explore or even enrich them? A new collaborative platform dedicated to translation, TLHub, was also presented at the gathering, informing the translators present about what technology can do for their profession. In short, the event was a way of formalizing a dialogue about translation that has been growing in scope over the past few years, and seems bound to continue its expansion.
