Folks, a piece of commemoration and an advertisement:
The French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard was born in August 1924.
Although he is mostly remembered for his report to the Quebec
government on the state of knowledge, "The Postmodern Condition"
(1979), in which he diagnosed (and not celebrated) the demise of the
'grand narratives' of Enlightenment and Modernity, his book "The
Differend" (1983) is probably the more important volume to pull from
the shelf these days, because it is a thoughtful and detailed
philosophical analysis of the precarious status of meaning and truth.
(As an entrée, I recommend the recent biography and editorial work on
Lyotard by Kiff Bamford.)
In commemoration of Lyotard's 100th anniversary on 10 August 2024 and
in anticipation of the 40-year anniversary of the exhibition "Les
Immatériaux" which he co-curated at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in
1985, Sergio Meijide Casas and I have recently compiled a document
with the twenty-one known interviews that Lyotard gave on the occasion
of this epochal project:
Lyotard’s Interviews on Les Immatériaux.
Edited by Andreas Broeckmann and Sergio Meijide Casas. Les Immatériaux
Research, Working Paper No. 11, 2024.
