Sartre's originality is located in the tense relationship that he maintained between deeply held revolutionary political beliefs and a residual yet critical attachment to traditional forms of cultural expression. A series of case-studies centred on Gaullism, communism, Maoism (Part 1), the theatre, art criticism and the media (Part 2), illustrate the continuing relevance and appeal of Sartre to the contemporary world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'...a genuine force as a committed intellectual.' - Sam Coombes, Radical Philosophy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations Preface Acknowledgements Initial Thoughts PART I: SARTRE'S REVOLUTIONARY POLITICS Sartrean Politics: Transition and Division Sartre and de Gaulle: Two Conceptions of France Sartre and the Nizan Affair: The Cold War Politics of French Communism Sartre and the Politics of Violence: Maoism in the Aftermath of May 1968 PART II: SARTRE'S CULTURAL POLITICS Sartre and Commitment: Reinventing Cultural Forms Myth Versus Satire: The Dramatised Politics of Sartre's Nekrassov Ideological Art Criticism: Sartre and Giacometti Mediated Politics: Sartre and Chomsky Revisited Postscript: A Final Word on Sartre English Translation of the Principal Titles Cited in French Notes and References Bibliography Index","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017801892183,"sku":"9780333633212","price":85.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780333633212.jpg?v=1750774717","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/jeanpaul-sartre-politics-and-culture-in-postwar-france-9780333633212","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
