His [Foucault's] vision of European culture as the institutionalised form of oppressive power is taught everywhere as gospel, to students who have neither the culture nor the religion to resist it. Only in France is he widely regarded as a fraud.

- Roger Scruton on Michel Foucault

During student protests in Paris in 1968, Roger Scruton, a francophile, watched students overturn cars to erect barricades and tear up cobblestones to throw at police. It was at that moment he realised he was a conservative.

For Scruton, he didn’t think much of Jean Paul Satre, the father of existentialism, who cobbled together the essence of his philosophy from Alexandre Kojève's reading of Hegel in his famous seminar at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in the 1930s. His listeners included Bataille, Aron, Merleau-Ponty, Lacan and Simone de Beauvoir. Each of them drew something different from him. For Sartre, the idea of the self-created individual with radical freedom. Expressed very early on in La nausée, this freedom is a source of anguish for a consciousness which not only considers that the surrounding world has no meaning other than that which it can possibly confer on it, but which experiences itself as a kind of nothingness.

How, starting from such a philosophy, does Sartre arrive at the idea of commitment to revolution and socialism? It is a mystery. Scruton wrote, "According to the metaphysics enunciated in Being and Nothingness, the correct answer to the question "To what shall I commit myself?" should be: What does it matter, as long as you can want it as a law for yourself." "But this is not the answer offered by Sartre, whose commitment is to an ideal that is at odds with his own philosophy.”

With his theory of episteme, Foucault gives us a new version of the Marxist concept of ideology.

Despite what some might think, Scruton wasn’t entirely dismissive of Foucault whose thought was more subtle and interesting than Sartre’s. Scruton confesses a certain tenderness for Michel Foucault's style, for his flamboyant imagination. But Scruton does not see his archaeology of knowledge as a great innovation. According to a habit shared by many French left-wing intellectuals, like Sartre himself, Foucault intended to tear away the veils behind which the relations of domination are hidden, to unmask the deceptions of others. With Sartre, it was in the name of a vague nostalgia for personal authenticity. Foucault, on the other hand, looked for the secret structures of power behind all institutions - and even at work in language.

But the historical horizon on which Foucault projected this quest, which postulated a rupture between the "classical age" of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the bourgeois world that would follow the French Revolution, showed that, despite his claims, Foucault had remained a prisoner of Marxism. Moreover, as Scruton would write, “his theory of episteme is a rehash of the Marxist theory of ideology. Moreover, he considers power only from the perspective of domination. “

But the main criticism that Scruton finds fault with Foucault is the one found in the post-enlightenment thinkers: relativism. If each era generates the discursive formations that correspond to its system of power, including the sciences, then truth does not exist. Everything is discourse...

[styxbugg]

i think the only way the cinderbug au is gonna work is if it takes place in a fantasy world filled with lots of animal/insect people, as well as humans, in a normalized way

but there is a difference between the different species; like the royal family is human while the insects are usually the lowest class (with some exceptions ofc)

the only other character roles i can think of is pincer and the mosq bros as the stepmother/sisters, and up as the fairy godmother

its harder than i thought to turn a sci-fi comedy into a fantasy fairytale… if anyone as any suggestions please, im floundering a bit here to make it work in my head

The Top Albums of 2023

Three thoughts I’ve had about music this is year: One, it is difficult to enjoy books about music, without actually hearing any. Two, from this YouTube video, this quote was straightforward, but revelatory: “Music makes you feel feelings, lyrics make you think thoughts, songs make you feel thoughts.” The third is not quite so easily expressed. A jumbled recurring thought that came to me while…

Starmania 1988 - 91

This version of the show, darker than the following ones, is considered by Michel Berger as the real second version (and the real update) of Starmania.

First performed at the Paris theater then at the Marigny theater over a period of four years.

DISTRIBUTION :

Norman Groulx / Renaud Hantson : Johnny Rockfort

Martine St-Clair / Nathalie Lermitte : Cristal

Maurane / Réjane Perry : Marie-Jeanne

Richard Groulx / Michel Pascal : Zéro Janvier

Sabrina Lory : Stella Spotlight

Renaud Hantson / Solal : Ziggy

Wenta / Bruna Giraldi : Sadia

Luc Laffite / Jean-Jacques Fauthoux : Roger-Roger

The French public will pleasantly welcome this late 80s style update, which does not seek to surpass the charisma of the original cast ( especially the untouchable Daniel Balavoine, who died in 1986 from a tragic helicopter accident )

The great success of the show led to a tour throughout France and five performances played in Russia ( apparently a real triumph ?) the non-French speaking spectators followed the show with small booklets translated into Russian .

Liners :

The 88 version had the right to its album , called by fans "l'édition rouge" but above all FINALLY a complete video recording !

A recording which has only one flaw the absence of Maurane. The revelation of the show, having left the troupe after eight months of performances, because of a terrible burn-out

Below the show (with english subs) :

С русскими субтитрами :

ANECDOTES :

Réjane Perry, understudy and then replacement for Maurane, is no stranger to fans of French musicals! She is the very first nanny from Romeo and Juliet 2001

...

The Princess Lady Diana attending a whirlwind performance by the troupe during a visit to the Elysée :

...

Ziggy evolves in this version. he recovers the song “Enfant de la pollution ” previously sung by Johnny Rockfort and he is now no longer a rock dancer but a rock drummer

Series Masterlist ~ Main Masterlist

Belle didn’t mention the offer that Steve Rogers had given her to anyone.  But she also didn’t let the business card out of her pocket. She would play with the card, thinking of the man.  He wouldn’t leave her thoughts.  The fit of his suit, how his face looked with the trimmed beard and the ocean blue eyes that she would get lost in.  

“Belle!”  Lila yelled, finally gaining her friend’s attention.  “Where are you?” 

Belle shook her head. “Sorry, just worried about this thesis.”  

“Don’t be.  You’ve got this. Anyways, Scott called.  He asked if we were going to go out with the gang.”  

“Do I have to?”  

“Belle, c’mon.  Ever since that gala you have been so preoccupied.  Did something happen?” 

“No Lila, It was fine.  I’m sorry.”  Belle sighed. “Ok, help me find something to wear.”  

Lila pulled a blue, strapless top and black jeans. “This.  You will look hot in this.” 

The little group of friends were a mix of the Gen Ed program and the engineering program.  Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne, Peter Parker and Michelle (MJ) Jones all hung out together most of the time.  These were the closest people Belle had in her life.   

Belle used to live with MJ and Lila before MJ and Peter decided to move in together.  Scott and Hope had their own singles but were on the same floor as Belle, MJ and Lila freshman year.  Her little adopted family took her in and she was forever grateful.  Her adopted father had died when she was 16 and she had no one left.  She was forever grateful for Phil Coulson, and she missed him dearly.  

They bar hopped until they landed at a bar in Manhattan. Peter and MJ were celebrating their recent engagement and Hope was celebrating getting into Columbia for law school. Scott was in the Gen Ed program with Belle. But he had heard that he had gotten a great job for the next school year at a prestigious high school.  Belle still hadn’t heard and this fueled her consumption of alcohol.  

Belle was tipsy but still very aware in the bar.  It was fun, lots of seating, room for dancing, a pool table.  She had been here before with Scott, teaching her to play pool. The music was a fun mix of old school pop and alternative rock.  Belle swayed to the music, occasionally singing along.  She used to sing in school but stopped once Phil was gone.  

Scott had been abnormally close this evening but Belle let it go.  Her mind kept drifting to the ocean eyes that she could still see in the back of her eyelids. She got up, a little wobble in her stance.  

“Where’re you going Belle?” Scott helped steady her.  

“Just to the bathroom.  I’ll be back.” As she waited, she pulled the business card from her pocket.  She stared at the name. 

Steven G. Rogers, CEO. 

She scoffed a little before she dialed.  

Hello? 

“Hello Steven G Rogers.”  

Belle? 

“That’s me.” Belle sighed.  “I don’t know who you think you are but I don’t need your offer.”  Her speech slurred slightly.  

Isabella?  Are you ok?  

“I’m fiiiinnnneee,” she sang.  

Have you been drinking?  

Belle laughed. “Of course, I have.  Big girl.”  

Where are you? 

“A place.”  Her sass was coming out.  

Tell me now. She could hear him growl into the phone. 

She giggled. “I’m in New York.  Not Jersey, I gotta go.”  

Isabella, wa-, she hung up the phone.  She laughed at herself and went on her way.  

Steve was furious.  What the hell is she thinking, he thought to himself.  He called Bucky,  

Yea? 

“Can you trace Isabella Davis’s phone please?” 

Sure boss.  

“And get the car, we are headed wherever she is.”  

Belle decided she needed air. She went out to the brisk night and leaned against the wall, feeling the world spin slightly.  She was so frustrated with her career, with her life, with Steve Rogers.  She leaned her head back and closed her eyes.  She felt someone come up to her and she opened her eyes.  Scott stood up in front of her.  “Sorry.”   

“It’s ok Scotty. Did you need something?” 

“I wanted to talk to you Belle.  About something kinda important.”  

“Oh, is everything ok?”  She smiled, hoping her friend was ok.  

“Yeah, well no, but it could be.”  Scott swallowed looking more nervous.  “I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me?” 

“A date?” Belle squeaked.  She had never considered Scott more than a friend.  

“Yeah, a date, Belle.  You’re beautiful, so smart and I’ve fallen for you.  Please?”  He leaned in.  

“Scott, wow, wait,” before she felt his lips on hers.  Suddenly they were gone.  

“She said wait,” a deep voice growled. “That’s not consent.” Steve pulled Scott away from Belle.  

Belle’s head spun.  “What are you doing here?” 

“I was worried about you.”  Steve pulled her towards him and stroked her cheek. “Are you ok?” 

“I’m fine.  I just don’t understand.”  Belle closed her eyes and felt herself falling.  

“Belle!”  Steve caught her as she tipped over.  “Belle? Can you hear me?” 

“Sure can Mr. Fancypants!”  Belle sang the words as she clutched onto him.  She shivered from the crisp air. She pressed herself against Steve’s warm body. “You’re so warm.”  

“Ok Isabella, let’s get you some water.”  Steve looked around and didn’t see the guy that tried to assault Belle anywhere.  He guided her inside and to the bar.  “Water,” he said to the bartender. Once the glass was on the bar, he handed it to Belle.  “Drink. Now.”  

“You are so bossy,” Belle said with a pout. 

“Drink the water Isabella or I will put you over my knee.”  Steve’s eyes blazed with authority.  Belle took the water and drank, some of it leaking from the corners.  She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.  “Good girl,” he whispered in her ear. “Let me take you home.”  

“I came with Lila.”  

“Ok stay right here.”  

Belle watched as he approached a dark hair man who was talking with Lila.  Lila spoke back to him and then glanced at Belle with a smirk.  Belle started to feel dizzy again as Steve approached her again.  “Think you can tell me where I need to go?” 

“Nope because I see two of you so I don’t know who to talk to.”  

“Ok, Miss Davis, lets go.”  

“Can’t walk.  So sorry to disappoint,” Belle said with a giggle.  She twirled around and stopped.  “My head hurts.”  

“Isabella? Are you ok?” 

“I feel like I’m going to faint.”  

“What? Right now?” Steve asked as he saw Belle close her eyes. He grasped her as she went limp in his arms.  “C’mon baby,” he said as he adjusted to carry her to the car.  Bucky came a few moments later. “Is Delilah ok?” 

“Yeah, also got a date with her so I’m happy.” Bucky smirked.  “Where to?” 

“Home.  I don’t want to leave her alone.”  He cradled Belle in his arms.  How did he end up this lucky? They got to his apartment, and he took her up to his room.  He laid her gently down and removed her shoes and socks, her jeans and lacy top.  He grabbed one of his shirts and sipped it over her.  He pulled back the covers and placed her in between.  

He went to his office and shut everything down.  Bucky came in.  “Is she ok punk?” 

“Yea, I put her to bed.  Can you get her some clothes?  Jeans, top, underwear.” 

“Sure. I’ll have it here in the morning.”  

“Thanks Jerk.  I’m going to turn in.”  

“Is Miss Davis in the guest room?” 

“No,” Steve cleared his throat.  “She’s in my room.”  

“Steve…” Bucky started.  

“I know Buck.  But she’s different.  We’ll see in the morning.”  

“Whatever you say man.  Good night.”  

“Night.”  Steve headed back to his room, where Belle hadn’t moved.  He placed two ibuprofen and a glass of water on the night side table.  He stripped down and climbed into the bed next to her.  He leaned over and kissed her forehead.  “Good night sweet Belle.”

One Deadly Summer (L'Été meurtrier) (1983) Jean Becker

November 27th 2022

[leblogdemarinaetjeanmarie]

MARDI 17 AOÛT 2024 (Billet 1 / 3)

Nous allons sûrement retourner à Grégolimano (Grèce – Île d’Eubée) l’année prochaine et ce pour de nombreuses raisons. Mais la principale, c’est le logement que nous choisissons. En effet dans ce Village du Club Med on nous a dit qu’il y en avait 17 sortes différentes. Le Village est très étendu (heureusement car il peut accueillir un peu plus de 1000 personnes en pleine saison), comprenant un hôtel qui lui-même est divisé en 3 parties, à côté duquel, à droite et gauche, sont disséminés des petits bâtiments dans la pinède, abritant plusieurs chambres, au rez de chaussée et à l’étage.

Quand on tourne dos à la mer, sur la gauche, le long de la plage, il y a 17 bungalows. C’est dans l’un d’entre eux, le même, que cette année nous avons été logés pour la 3e fois. L’immense privilège de ces bungalows, c’est qu’ils sont quasiment les pieds dans l’eau.

Sur la première photo, la petite flèche rouge indique la situation du nôtre et la seconde, son entrée principale, côté pelouse.

Ces quelques lignes servent d’introduction à un compte-rendu de lecture d’un livre que JM a dévoré avec délice sur la plage. Un peu de patience, nous y venons…

Ci-dessous, pardon, la photo a été prise au petit matin et le lit n’a pas encore été fait. Mais, juste derrière la baie vitrée il y a une petite terrasse avec 2 transats et quelques marches sur la droite pour descendre sur la plage. A 2 pas, les 3 transats que nous réservions pour la journée… et 2 pas plus loin, LA MER !!!

En dehors de nos baignades, notre principale activité sur la plage a été de tourner les pages des livres que nous avions emportés. Marina a d’abord terminé le livre de Pierre Bailly « Le roman de Jim » qu’elle a beaucoup aimé (et préféré au film qui en a été tiré, même si ce dernier ne l’a pas laissée indifférente), puis s’est plongée dans le dernier ouvrage de Melissa Da Costa « Rester debout » qu’elle a fini à Paris. Une histoire très dure mais qui l’a passionnée. Elle devrait écrire un petit Billet prochainement à son sujet.

JM, quant à lui, a terminé le gros livre de Siri Hustvedt, la femme de Paul Auster, « Tout ce que j’aimais ». Marina l’avait bien aimé, JM, même s’il a trouvé l’histoire intéressante, n’a pas été tout à fait emballé tout en reconnaissant le talent de l’auteure.

Et nous arrivons au thème de ce Billet : vous dire LE PLUS GRAND BIEN du livre qu’il a lu ensuite, « MES NUITS SANS BARDOT » de Simonetta Greggio (écrit en français – Albin Michel – 320 p.)

LA 4e DE COUVERTURE :

« On a cru me connaître parce qu'on m'a vue nue. Mais personne ne sait qui je suis vraiment. » Une femme s'installe à Saint-Tropez, tout près de La Madrague, afin de percer les mystères qui entourent la star flamboyante et secrète. Leurs voix, leurs histoires se répondent, mettant en lumière les multiples facettes de Bardot - de la fillette disgracieuse à l'amoureuse passionnée en passant par l'adolescente perdue et la militante de la cause animale -, et font ressurgir du passé de grandes figures artistiques : Colette, Vadim, Brando, Trintignant, Yourcenar et Gainsbourg... À travers un troublant jeu de miroirs, se recrée sous nos yeux le mythe BB, un être d'une stupéfiante modernité.

L’AVIS D’UN LECTEUR (trouvé sur le site Babelio et en parfaite adéquation avec ce que JM en a pensé) :

Enfin un roman captivant que je n'ai pas lâché durant 3 jours !!! Ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas été passionné à ce point par un bouquin ! Je dois dire que celui-ci est une vraie pépite ! J'ai été addict à l'écriture de l'autrice et au déroulement de l'histoire, qui n'est pas une biographie, mais où l'on apprend tout de même beaucoup de choses sur BB. C'est truffé d'anecdotes croustillantes de la star internationale, depuis ses débuts dans « Et Dieu... créa la femme » en passant par des navets dans lesquels elle a joué, tout en parcourant ses histoires d'amours sulfureuses avec Roger Vadim, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Jacques Charrier, Samy Frey, Serge Gainsbourg, Gunther Sachs et tant d'autres... pour arriver jusqu'à son parcours de militante pour la cause animale. L'auteure a planté le décor en imaginant une femme qui vient séjourner à Saint-Tropez, tout près de la Madrague où vit Brigitte Bardot, afin de percer les mystères autour de la star. Cette femme, visiblement fan de BB, garde malgré tout quelques réserves sur certains sujets non gratifiants de l'actrice. Elle va commencer un dialogue épistolaire à sens unique, en laissant des petits mots et des lettres sous un caillou à l'entrée de la Madrague, afin que Brigitte Bardot puisse les lire et lui répondre. Elle sera dans l'attente de réponse de la part de BB durant des jours et des nuits entières, d'où le titre du roman. Je ne veux pas en dévoiler plus, car il y a tant de choses à dire, mais j'ai réellement aimé ce roman, qui je le rappelle encore une fois, n'est pas une biographie mais bien une fiction. Cependant, certains passages sont extraits des deux autobiographies de BB, ainsi que d'archives et de différents documentaires. Comme Marylin Monroe, Brigitte Bardot fascine, intrigue, dérange parfois... D'ailleurs, quelque part, c'est un peu la Marylin française (il y a un passage de leur rencontre à toutes les deux à Buckingam chez la Reine d'Angleterre qui vaut le détour). Jamais quelqu'un n'aura déchaîné autant de passion, d'adoration, de haine. « Mes nuits sans Bardot » de Simonetta Greggio, plein d'humour et d'affection, fort bien documenté, très bien écrit (un peu façon « Sagan première époque »), est très agréable à lire, je vous en conseille vivement la lecture !

Le Prix :

Les jurés du Prix du Livre de Plage des Sables-d’Olonne, présidé par Jean-Christophe Rufin de l'Académie française, ont choisi pour sa 4e édition de récompenser la romancière italienne écrivant en français, qui imagine la vie recluse de l’actrice du « Mépris ».

Et après les plaisirs de la lecture (« La lecture, ce vice impuni », une citation de Stéphane Olry), de longs moments passés dans l’eau puis la « communion » avec le soleil (mais point trop n'en faut, juste le temps de sécher les maillots…).
