Sommario/riassunto |
|
La réputation des historiens polonais de l’économie et de la vie matérielle est grande parmi leurs collègues français, qui depuis plusieurs décennies les invitent à faire des conférences, des séminaires et à publier des articles dans les revues françaises. Cependant la barrière linguistique subsiste : elle fait que l’essentiel de leurs oeuvres reste inconnu du public français et des spécialistes eux-mêmes. Il en est ainsi d’Andrzej Wyczanski, dont on savait qu’il est un des principaux historiens de la consommation alimentaire au xvie et xviie siècles, mais dont on ne connaissait généralement que de brefs articles. Or il s’est appliqué, dans son principal ouvrage à comparer dans une même région les rations alimentaires des différents groupes sociaux et, d’autre part, celles d’un même groupe social dans les diverses régions d’un pays ; il fournit finalement un tableau complet et aussi précis de la consommation ancienne à l’échelle de la Pologne et une base pour évaluer la production et le revenu national. Aussi faut-il se réjouir qu’avec l’aide de Daniel Tollet - qui s’est chargé d’en établir le texte français - cet ouvrage soit aujourd’hui traduit. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The level of popular discontent—in the United States as elsewhere—has shown a dramatic increase in recent years, but has yet to crystallize |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into a cohesive anti-capitalist political force. Socialist Practice aims to contribute to a popular movement for socialism. It does so by 1) revisiting, under present conditions, longstanding questions of Marxist theory and revolutionary history, and 2) illustrating the range of issues, activities, and forms of expression that can both inform and be informed by a Marxist approach. Essays spanning a range of national experiences address the crying need to generate a society-wide awakening, grounded in purposeful discussion among all those (the vast majority) whose interests are ill-served by continuation of the status quo. Victor Wallis is a professor in the Liberal Arts Department at the Berklee College of Music, USA, and was for twenty years the managing editor of Socialism and Democracy. He is the author of Red-Green Revolution: The Politics and Technology of Ecosocialism (2018) and Democracy Denied: Five Lectures on U.S. Politics (2019). |
