During the following two decades \u003ci\u003eTel Quel\u003c\/i\u003e published the best in French intellectual thought and writing, including Roland Barthes, Georges Bataille, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Pierre Faye, Michel Foucault, Gérard Genette, Julia Kristeva, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Marcelin Pleynet, Philippe Sollers, and Tzvetan Todorov. By focusing on \u003ci\u003eTel Quel\u003c\/i\u003e as an instrument of cultural renewal, Danielle Marx-Scouras demonstrates that literature—even when it claims to be disengaged—can never escape its historical ties. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book elucidates the complexities of French intellectual life and the role played by \u003ci\u003eTel Quel \u003c\/i\u003ein the evolution of intellectual thought and writing in the 1960s and 1970s. \u003ci\u003eTel Quel\u003c\/i\u003e's cultural politics have been fashioned as much by the unpredictable historical changes of the post-World War II and Cold War era as they have by the advances in literary studies, semiotics, philosophy, and psychoanalysis during this period. The journal ceased publication in 1982, shortly before the dissolution of Marxism-Communism marked by the demolition of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Europe, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Marx-Scouras ultimately finds in its cultural venture some significant parting thoughts on a vigorous period of European literary and intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40892278964321,"sku":"9780271025568","price":32.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/4af6743142897ed948185f30835e7769.jpg?v=1688460814","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780271025568-cultural-politics-of-tel-quel","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
