![]() ![]() The grip finance capitalism now has on the world economy is the principal target of Hessel’s ire. In its current form, he argues, rather than serving the common good, globalization is subordinating the whole of humankind to its insatiable demand for ever-higher profit margins, leading us, along the way, down a path of collective self-destruction. Almost a quarter of a century after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the contemporary world’s chief menace is no longer totalitarianism, but rather, the free-wheeling economic system that goes by the name of “globalization,” a force that, for Hessel, is no less pernicious than the autocratic foes he faced in Nazioccupied France. 2 Hessel’s cri de coeur urges young people in France, and indeed, the world over, to revive the fighting spirit of the French Resistance to the Nazi Occupation and to rise to the defense of freedom, democracy and social justice, the values for which his generation fought so valiantly. Hessel’s booklet, issued by Indigene Editions, a small provincial publisher, has since sold over 2 million copies, reaching an estimated 10 million readers in France alone, with millions more flocking worldwide to read him in translations that have now appeared in numerous other languages. That honor went to Indignez-vous! (Time for Outrage!), a 32-page pamphlet authored by 93-year-old Stephane Hessel, a former hero of the French Resistance, a concentration camp survivor and career diplomat. In 2010, two years after the global financial collapse that triggered the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s, the bestselling publication in France was not that year’s Prix Goncourt, 1 Michel Houellebecq’s La carte et le territoire (The Map and the Territory), a novel published by Flammarion, one of Paris’s leading publishing houses. Pour finir, nous ancrerons notre réflexion dans notre contemporanéité en analysant la démarche éditoriale originale des éditions Al Dante. Puis, nous verrons que la revue est le medium grâce auquel a pu se développer ce type de poésie. Nous définirons donc tout d’abord notre objet d’étude, les pratiques poétiques issues d’une « crise de vers » amorcée par Mallarmé et qui sont imprégnées formellement des bouleversements sociétaux, selon un parcours de crises, historique, économique, financière. Ce jeu s’assimilant à une lutte de pouvoir idéologique pose la question suivante : comment pratiques poétiques et éditoriales tentent de créer un rapport de force symbolique avec les institutions en place ? L’objet de cette communication sera de décrire la situation de l’édition de poésie radicale en France quand celle-ci se propose d’être critique. Il s’agira dans cette communication d’analyser le jeu que les auteurs et éditeurs font en rendant visibles des éléments d’une société capitaliste dans leur démarche et ce, dès le XIXe siècle. ![]()
