The French thinking movement of the 70s has recently made a noticed comeback under the name "French theory". 
 

Along with it, with Deleuze, Guattari or Foucault, arrive or reappear the authors and the disciplines it has inspired in the Anglo-Saxon world: Judith Butler and the gender studies or Paul Gilroy and the postcolonial studies. In a period when the political climate is rather gloomy, the revolutionary praxis of Toni Negri also makes a comeback, inspired from the heterodox Marxism of May 68, and a critic of the cultural industries, and of a consumption society reminiscent of the marcusian praxis. What can we do with this thinking, which, on the one hand, is 30 year old; and which, on the other, thrived on the American soil, in times and contexts different from ours? Aren't these concepts in need of a "refreshing", a converted voltage? Such is the interrogation that gave birth to this book. The reader will find in French Theory, developed by 35 authors, new approaches of the political ("Communities"), the body ("Identities"), forms ("Forms"), based on a new interpretation of the world ("Mutations"), sometimes taking after French Theory, sometimes not, but most often refreshing French Theory thanks to French Theory itself
