The first English translation of the French cult classic that lampoons France's most popular intellectuals of the post-1968 period and their ideas, which became forces of counterrevolution. Eric-John Russell's translation of Jaime Sempr???n's brutal takedown of France's best-known intellectuals of the post-1968 period, A Gallery of Recuperation , is one of the first full English versions of any of Sempr???n's books. Originally titled Pr???cis de recuperation , the book is a scathing critique of ten major thinkers, including Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Jean-Fran???ois Lyotard, and Cornelius Castoriadis. Sempr???n uses this catalog of careerism to reflect on the concept of recuperation --capitalism's uncanny ability to coopt anticapitalist critiques and subvert subversion. His central question: What happens to revolutionary ideas, including Marxism itself, in the hands of professional intellectuals? Sempr???n's idiosyncratic and playful style of polemics takes existentialism, humanism, structuralism, poststructuralism, postmodernism, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis to task, casting new light on the figures who have become dominant staples of modern Anglophone academia, and proving the necessity of critiquing intellectuals' roles within contemporary capitalism. A cult classic among the French radical left and scholars of the Situationist International and May 1968, A Gallery of Recuperation never made the impact it should have. Russell's translation marks a major step in recognizing Sempr???n's work beyond its French context.
