Pierre Macherey je francouzský marxistický literární kritik, který se zaměřuje na analýzu literárních děl skrze marxistickou optiku. Jeho práce, ovlivněná Louisem Althusserem, je klíčová pro pochopení francouzského poststrukturalismu a marxismu. Macherey zkoumá, jak literární texty odrážejí společensko-ekonomické podmínky a ideologické mechanismy. Jeho přístup k literatuře je ceněn pro svou hloubku a teoretickou náročnost, zejména v evropském kontextu.
Who is more important: the reader, or the writer? Originally published in French in 1966, Pierre Macherey s first and most famous work, A Theory of Literary Production dared to challenge perceived wisdom, and quickly established him as a pivotal figure in literary theory. In this provocative work, Macherey puts the focus as much on the reader as the writer, stating that the very act of reading is a form of production in its own right, generating interpretation and meanings which are beyond the control of the author." Part of the birth of a whole new branch of post-structuralist theory, Macherey's work also influenced a new generation of critics - among them Jacques Derrida, his contemporary, and Terry Eagleton. His ideas have also led some observers to claim that he announced 'the death of the author' fully two years before Roland Barthes' famous essay.The reissue of this work as a Routledge Classic brings some radical ideas to a new audience, and argues persuasively for a totally new way of reading. As such, it is an essential work for anyone interested in the development of literary theory.
Le normal et le pathologique constitue l’œuvre maîtresse de Georges Canguilhem : réflexion sur la vie et la mort ; valorisation du statut de l’erreur et de la rationalité dans l’histoire des sciences ; insistance sur les notions de continuité et de rupture, de norme ou d’anomalie ; mise à jour, dans le champ de la médecine, des relations entre expérimentation et conceptualisation. Cet reprend les communications que la Société Internationale d’Histoire de la psychiatrie et de la Psychanalyse [SIHPP] avait consacrées au 50e anniversaire du livre de Canguilhem.
