The five conference papers composing this book have been modified for this publication. Early English versions of two papers have been published: ‘The Emancipated Spectator’ in Art Forum, XLV:7 (2007) and ‘The Misadventures of Critical Thinking’ in Aporia. Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy (autumn 2007). I have used these English versions in my quotations and translated myself the French versions of the remaining papers. 2 Michel de Certeau, The Practice of Everyday Life [1980], trans. Steven Rendall (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1988), pp.34-39. 3 The reference to Bernard Stiegler is a new addition to the text for this publication (together with references to Paolo Virno and Brian Holmes).
