"An exhaustive reading of the significant yet understudied intellectual review Lignes,
from 1987 to 2017, to demonstrate how it has managed to preserve and develop the legacy
of French radical thought often referred to as ‘French Theory' or ‘la pensée 68'.
Whilst many studies on intellectual reviews from the 1930s to the 1980s exist, this
book crucially illuminates the shifting intellectual and political culture of France
since the 1980s, filling a major gap in contemporary debates on the continued relevance
of French intellectuals. This book provides a strong counter-narrative to the received
account that, after the anti-totalitarian ‘liberal moment' of the late 1970s, Marxism
and structuralism were completely banished from the French intellectual sphere. Through
the review's pages, a novel cultural history of France emerges as intellectuals respond
to pressing contemporary issues, such as the fall of Communism, the European migrant
crisis and rising nationalist tensions, the globalisation of financial capitalism
and the 2008 economic crisis, scandals surrounding paedophilia and the return of religious
thought to France, as well as debates on literature and the political value of art"--Page
