Parution – The Anthem Companion to Henri Lefebvre
Chères collègues et chers collègues,
Nous avons le plaisir de vous informer de la parution d’un ouvrage collectif sur Henri Lefebvre, dirigé par Tilman Schwarze et Matt Dawson :
*The Anthem Companion to Henri Lefebvre*, chez Anthem Press, dans la collection « Anthem Companions to Sociology ». anthempress.com/books/the-anthem-companion-to-henri-lefebvre-hb
Pour information, l’ouvrage sera prochainement disponible sur le site des Cambridge University Press : www.cambridge.org/core/publications/publishing-partners/anthem-press
Voici le résumé et la table des matières : Reassesses Henri Lefebvre’s enduring relevance to sociology, examining themes from Marxism to urban life and proposing new directions for Lefebvrian research on rhythm, embodiment and utopian thought. Henri Lefebvre’s work, particularly his theory of the production of space, has been remarkably influential historically within geographical research. While this extensive research has shown the continuing relevance of Lefebvre’s oeuvre for urban geographical research, Lefebvre’s contributions to sociology have been less explored. This is surprising and a missed opportunity, not least because Lefebvre’s writings on the urban, space and everyday life were fundamentally informed by and connected to his sociology. This volume responds to this lacuna in sociological engagements with Lefebvre’s work, bringing together leading scholars on Lefebvre’s sociological work who discuss elements from across his sociological oeuvre. This includes topics for which Lefebvre is well known such as space, rhythm-analysis and Marxism, through to lesser-known topics such as the rural, autogestion, the state and violence and finally to studies which push Lefebvre into new areas such as time, phenomenology and the environment. Therefore, this volume not only achieves a breadth of coverage but also provides fresh insights for those familiar with Lefebvre and new points of interest for those encountering his sociology for the first time. Our volume makes a critical addition to the long list of established and influential Anthem Companions to Sociology by adding a new volume on one of the most influential Marxist sociologists and philosophers of the twentieth century. An engagement with the work of Henri Lefebvre remains indispensable for sociology as this volume shows.
