«Abécédaire» is issue 1000 of the magazine Europe, with Alain Badiou and Charles Dobzynski, published by Revue Europe (450 pages, in French).
To mark issue 1000, Europe brings together writers, poets, philosophers, anthropologists and artists from around the world in a collective alphabet: each participant chooses a word and writes a free text —fiction, poem, short essay or interview— inspired by it. The result is festive and reflective, a mosaic of very different voices and languages.
Corresponds to the double issue 1000-1001 of Europe, August-September 2012; French edition of 450 pages.
For readers interested in French and European literature, literary magazines and collective creations around language.
Alain Badiou is a French philosopher, formerly chair of Philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure and founder of the faculty of Philosophy of the Université de Paris VIII with Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Jean-François Lyotard. Badiou's work is heavily informed by philosophical applications of mathematics, in particular set theory and category theory. Badiou's "Being and Event" project considers the concepts of being, truth, event and the subject defined by a rejection of linguistic relativism seen as typical of postwar French thought. Unlike his peers, Badiou believes in the idea of universalism and truth. His work is notable for his widespread applications of various conceptions of indifference. Badiou has been involved in a number of political organisations, and regularly comments on political events. Badiou argues for a return of communism as a political force.
