Eloge de l'émeute

by Jacques Deschamps

Et s'il fallait faire « dérailler la machine » ?
«Éloge de l'émeute» est un ouvrage remarquable de puissance et d'évocation. A la lumière de l'histoire et des violences économiques, sociales et symboliques que nous subissons, il appelle à « prendre le maquis dans nos têtes ».

Apologie de la violence ? Non. Plutôt l'éloge de la spontanéité incalculable, de la contestation et de la joie contre la violence libérale. En bref, une pensée politique à lire et relire au bénéfice d'un temps à venir.

[sadeleuze · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is not unpleasant to read, but it's not very useful. The book is not so much an exposé of the author's own thinking as it is of the thinking of others. In fact, he adopts a dissertative style, in which he constantly echoes other authors without ever really backing them up. So, the book reads by itself, easily, the text is fluid and I enjoy reading this opinion and all these literary and philosophical references, however, it's almost a purely stylistic exercise, but perhaps that's already indicated in the title of the book: it's an eulogy (as in praise) after all. So it's a book to be taken lightly, almost as entertainment, but by no means a source of new ideas.
