SUMMARY:Transparency in Post-War France
DESCRIPTION:This book returns to a time and place when the concept of tr
 ansparency was met with deep suspicion. It offers a panorama
  of postwar French thought where attempts to show the perils
  of transparency in politics\, ethics\, and knowledge led to m
 ajor conceptual inventions\, many of which we now take for gr
 anted.\n\nBetween 1945 and 1985\, academics\, artists\, revolutio
 naries\, and state functionaries spoke of transparency in pej
 orative terms. Associating it with the prying eyes of totali
 tarian governments\, they undertook a critical project agains
 t it—in education\, policing\, social psychology\, economic p
 olicy\, and the management of information. Focusing on Sartre
 \, Lacan\, Canguilhem\, Lévi-Strauss\, Leroi-Gourhan\, Foucault\,
  Derrida\, and others\, Transparency in Postwar France explo
 res the work of ethicists\, who proposed that individuals are
  transparent neither to each other nor to themselves\, and ph
 ilosophers\, who clamored for new epistemological foundations
 . These decades saw the emergence of the colonial and phenom
 enological "other\," the transformation of ideas of normality
 \, and the effort to overcome Enlightenment-era humanisms and
  violence in the name of freedom. These thinkers' innovation
 s remain centerpieces for any resistance to contemporary ill
 usions that tolerate or enable power and social coercion.
