    • The second volume of "The Mystic Fable" continues the influential exploration of mysticism and poststructuralist thought initiated in the first volume. Compiled posthumously by Certeau's literary executor, it addresses complex themes such as historiography, social reality, and the nature of belief. The work delves into angelology, glossolalia, and the relationship between prose and poetry, solidifying Certeau's significance in French literary and philosophical discourse. It promises to be a vital resource for scholars across various disciplines, including religious studies and theology.

      Michel de Certeau considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. In exploring the public meaning of ingeniously defended private meanings, de Certeau draws on an immense theoretical literature in analytic philosophy, linguistics, sociology, semiology, and anthropology--to speak of an apposite use of imaginative literature.

      From the seventeenth-century attempts to formulate a history of man to Freud's Moses and Monotheism, de Certeau examines the West's changing conceptions of the role and nature of history.

      The Writing of History
    • A collection of numerous essays drawn from de Certeau’s writings, Heterologies illustrates the diverse concerns that inform his work. Each essay examines and questions the bases surrounding contemporary reorganization.

      Heterologies
    • Interweaving substantial excerpts from primary historical documents with commentary, this text shows how the plague of sorceries and possessions in France that climaxed in the events at Loudun both revealed the deepest fears of a society in traumatic flux and accelerated its transformation. schovat popis

      Dans L'invention du quotidien, I : Arts de faire, Michel de Certeau a étudié les ruses subtiles, les tactiques de résistances qui définissent l'art de vivre dans la société de consommation. Avec ce deuxième tome, Habiter, cuisiner, Luce Giard et Pierre Mayol développent une socio-histoire des arts de faire, à partir de «micro-histoires» qui passent de la sphère privée (faire-la-cuisine, arts de nourrir) à la sphère publique (la pratique du quartier, ici un espace ouvrier, la Croix-Rousse, à Lyon), et l'espace propre de l'habitat. De longs entretiens avec des interlocuteurs, qui sont essentiellement des femmes, permettent de suivre dans la réalité des trajectoires individuelles, à travers un montage serré d'habitudes, de contraintes et de ruses inventives nées de la circonstance.Ensemble, les deux tomes ouvrent le champ d'une «science pratique du sujet» qui s'émerveille, avec autant de respect que de tendresse, de l'inventivité des gens ordinaires, dont les manières de faire font des espaces public et privé un «lieu de vie possible». -- Site de l'éditeur
