INTERNATIONELL FÖRFATTARSCEN I STOCKHOLM 8/10!

"En unik och kollektiv berättelse som skildrar ålderdomen som ett personligt och politiskt skeppsbrott."

LE JDD

"En engagerad, gripande och uppriktig essä."

Le Temps

När Didier Eribons mor flyttar in på äldreboende förlorar hon gradvis sin fysiska och kognitiva självständighet. Chocken över flytten blir stor och bara några veckor senare avlider hon.

I denna bok återupptar Didier Eribon det personliga och teoretiska utforskande som han påbörjade i Tillbaka till Reims efter faderns död. Han reflekterar kring moderns yrkesliv som städerska och fabriksarbetare och fångar henne i all sin komplexitet, från deltagandet i strejker till de rasistiska utfallen.

Didier Eribon analyserar våra relationer till äldre och upplevelsen av att bli gammal och gör ålderdomen till utgångspunkt för en politisk reflektion: Hur kan människor mobilisera när de inte längre har rörlighet eller förmåga att tala och därmed säga "vi"? Vem gör deras röster hörda?

Didier Eribon (f. 1953) är en fransk författare, sociolog och filosof. Han blev känd 1989 med sin uppskattade biografi över Michel Foucault. Den banbrytande boken Tillbaka till Reims (Verbal, 2018) har gjort ett stort intryck på debatten om högerpopulistiska framgångar inom arbetarklassen och satts upp som pjäs på bland annat Dramaten.

I Tillbaka till Reims (Retour à Reims) söker sig Didier Eribon tillbaka till hemstaden för att reflektera kring den sociala skammen. På vägen till frigörelse har författaren förträngt sin uppväxt och arbetarbakgrund.

Mer än halva livet har den franske sociologen levt som öppet homosexuell i kosmopolitiska storstadsmiljöer, på betryggande avstånd från den nordfranska arbetarkultur han flydde i sin ungdom. I sina akademiska arbeten om sexuell skam har han med tiden etablerat sig som en av Frankrikes ledande queerteoretiker. Men genom resan till Reims inser han hur lite han under alla dessa år velat befatta sig med en annan typ av skam: den sociala skammen.

Didier Eribons banbrytande essä hyllades av Le Monde, Libération, L Express och andra tidningar när den gavs ut 2009. Den har gjort stort intryck på debatten om högerpopulistiska Front Nationals framgångar inom arbetarklassen och getts ut på en rad andra språk.

'A deeply intelligent and searching book, one that makes you re-consider the narrative of your own life and reframe the story you tell yourself' Hilary MantelA Guardian reader's Best Book of 2018 "There was a question that had come to trouble me a bit earlier, once I had taken the first steps on this return journey to Reims... Why, when I have had such an intense experience of forms of shame related to class ... why had it never occurred to me to take up this problem in a book?"Returning to Reims is a breathtaking account of one man's return to the town where he grew up after an absence of thirty years. It is a frank, fearlessly personal story of family, memory, identity and time lost. But it is also a sociologist's view of what itmeans to grow up working class and then leave that class; of inequality and shifting political allegiances in an increasingly divided nation. A phenomenon in France and a huge bestseller in Germany, Didier Eribon has written the defining memoir of our times.'I was overwhelmed by this book. I felt I was reading the story of my life' Edouard Louis, author of The End of Eddy'A book about self-invention and belonging' Colm Toibin

'Searingly honest . . . compelling, hard to read and hard to put down' Literary Review'A frank and moving story . . . an urgent plea' Telegraph‘Who speaks? Who is able to make themselves heard? And if this fundamental political gesture remains inaccessible to so many people who figure among the most dominated, the most dispossessed, the most vulnerable, does it not fall to artists, writers and intellectuals to speak of them and for them’When Didier Eribon’s mother began to lose her physical and cognitive autonomy, the author and his brothers were compelled to place her in a nursing home, despite their misgivings. A few weeks later, she died.In The Life, Old Age, and Death of a Working-Class Woman, Eribon embarks on a historical, political and personal meditation on what it means to grow old in our society, and the care we provide for those who cannot afford to pay for better services. Tracing his mother’s rapid decline – and drawing on works by Simone de Beauvoir, Norbert Elias, Annie Ernaux and Michel Foucault, among others – Eribon offers an honest, original and wide-ranging exploration of the relationship between ageing, gender and class, transmuting his own rage, sadness and shame into a strikingly nuanced portrait of the most overlooked human experience.Translated by Michael Lucey

A bestseller in France following its publication in 1999, Insult and the Making of the Gay Self is an extraordinary set of reflections on “the gay question” by Didier Eribon, one of France’s foremost public intellectuals. Known internationally as the author of a pathbreaking biography of Michel Foucault, Eribon is a leading voice in French gay studies. In explorations of gay subjectivity as it is lived now and as it has been expressed in literary history and in the life and work of Foucault, Eribon argues that gay male politics, social life, and culture are transformative responses to an oppressive social order. Bringing together the work of Jean-Paul Sartre, Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler, and Erving Goffman, he contends that gay culture and political movements flow from the need to overcome a world of insult in the process of creating gay selves.Eribon describes the emergence of homosexual literature in Britain and France at the turn of the last century and traces this new gay discourse from Oscar Wilde and the literary circles of late-Victorian Oxford to AndrÉ Gide and Marcel Proust. He asserts that Foucault should be placed in a long line of authors-including Wilde, Gide, and Proust-who from the nineteenth century onward have tried to create spaces in which to resist subjection and reformulate oneself. Drawing on his unrivaled knowledge of Foucault’s oeuvre, Eribon presents a masterful new interpretation of Foucault. He calls attention to a particular passage from Madness and Civilization that has never been translated into English. Written some fifteen years before The History of Sexuality, this passage seems to contradict Foucault’s famous idea that homosexuality was a late-nineteenth-century construction. Including an argument for the use of Hannah Arendt’s thought in gay rights advocacy, Insult and the Making of the Gay Self is an impassioned call for critical, active engagement with the question of how gay life is shaped both from without and within.

Anthropologue célèbre, reconnu comme l''un des plus grands esprits de notre temps, Claude Lévi-Strauss est un homme discret, avare de confidences personnelles et dont les écrits autobiographiques sont rares. En acceptant de parler avec Didier Éribon de son itinéraire intellectuel, de ses voyages et de ses rencontres, de ses goûts et de ses aversions, il ne livre pas seulement au lecteur les clés pour accéder à son œuvre, mais donne un éclairage nouveau sur notre époque, ce XXe siècle qui est celui de toutes les découvertes et de toutes les catastrophes.

Im Alter von achtzig Jahren erklärte sich einer der einflussreichsten Intellektuellen des 20. Jahrhunderts bereit, ein Interview zu geben, sein erstes Interview seit fast dreißig Jahren. »Ein Ereignis«, jubelte Le Figaro. Im Gespräch mit dem Bestsellerautor Didier Eribon blickt Claude Lévi-Strauss auf die Stationen seines Lebens und Schaffens zurück - frühe Freud- und Marx-Lektüren, seine Flucht nach New York, Freundschaften mit André Breton und Max Ernst, seine Kritik am Kolonialismus und Cartesianismus, seinen anhaltenden Kampf für einen radikalen Humanismus. Und immer wieder wird deutlich, dass die historischen Ereignisse Lévi-Strauss'' Schicksal genauso beeinflusst haben wie er das Denken unserer Epoche. Aber auch private Betrachtungen kommen in diesen Gesprächen nicht zu kurz. Eindrücklich erzählt er von seiner Liebe zur Musik, zur Malerei, zu Blumen, und warum er, der große Ethnologe, nie gern auf Reisen gegangen ist. Claude Lévi-Strauss'' Erinnerungen sind die Confessiones eines herausragenden Gelehrten - und gleichzeitig ein bedeutendes Dokument europäischer Geistesgeschichte.

Després de la mort del seu pare, Didier Eribon torna a la seva ciutat natal, Reims, i redescobreix tot el que havia deixat enrere trenta anys abans, quan va fugir d''un món social, familiar, popular i provincià els valors i sensibilitats dels quals mai no va compartir. De família pobra, en un entorn homòfob i cada vegada més xenòfob, Eribon se''n va a París per viure la seva homosexualitat i forjar el seu univers intel·lectual.La immersió en el seu passat fa que aflorin la segregació de les classes socials, la purga feta pel sistema educatiu, el valor de la identitat personal, sexual i política, o les dificultats de lluitar contra els determinismes socials i les múltiples formes de dominació. Aquest assaig narratiu (o novel·la sociobiogràfica) s''ha convertit en un clàssic contemporani de la sociologia i de l''escriptura política, un llibre únic per entendre la nostra època, l''evolució ideològica de les classes treballadores i la impossibilitat de tornar sense conflicte als orígens.

Didier Eribon, avui filòsof i sociòleg molt destacat, va marxar de jove per allunyar-se de la seva família i de tot el que aquesta representava (pobresa, homofòbia, racisme), però el deteriorament físic de la mare el fa tornar a Reims. Com en qualsevol altra família, els fills —sovint amb idees, interessos i implicacions molt diferents— han de gestionar la pèrdua d''autonomia i mobilitat dels pares i decidir com poden encarar els seus anys finals.A la manera de Simone de Beauvoir a "Una mort molt dolça", Eribon narra el declivi físic i emocional de la seva mare mentre rememora el seu passat comú i denuncia les greus deficiències del sistema assistencial. Com ja feia a "Retorn a Reims", la tornada a la seva ciutat natal i a la seva família és l''excusa per parlar sense contemplacions sobre les desigualtats socials, la crueltat de l''envelliment i la precarietat en què han de viure les persones grans de les classes menys afavorides.

”Suljin kirjan silmät kyynelissä ja toistin mielessäni: tämä kirja on minun elämäntarinani. Kun luin Paluu Reimsiin ensimmäistä kertaa, en ollut elämäni aikana lukenut yhtäkään kirjaa.”Edouard LouisPaluu Reimsiin kertoo ranskalaisfilosofi Didier Eribonin ristiriitaisesta ja tunteikkaasta matkasta työväenluokkaiseen menneisyyteensä.Eribon käsittelee kirjassaan omaa intellektuellin tehtäväänsä ja homoseksuaalisuuutensa suhdetta työväenkulttuuriin ja populismiin. Omakohtainen kirja on yhdistelmä muistoja, sosiologista tarkkanäköisyyttä ja poliittista analyysia.Didier Eribon on todiste siitä, että työväenluokasta voi kasvaa kansainväliseksi kirjailijaksi ja ajattelijaksi, mutta työväenluokka ei koskaan jätä ihmistä.Teoksen on suomentanut näyttelijä Timo Torikka, ja jälkisanat on kirjoittanut professori Juha Suoranta. Vastapaino julkaisi filosofi ja sosiologi Didier Eribonin arvostetun Michel Foucault -elämäkerran vuonna 1993.
