Philipp Felsch's book Wie Nietzsche aus der Kälte kam [How Nietzsche came in from the cold] was mentioned at the workshop on translation and the archive yesterday … It's a study of the two Italian editors and translators of Nietzsche, Colli and Montinari.

On looking for more detail today, I discover that there is an English translation in progress for
Polity Books. (1/2)

From the Historical Materialism mailing list:

György Lukács’s History and Class Consciousness, the book that has won him enthusiastic supporters and bitter enemies, was published 100 years ago. To mark the occasion, a collection of German and Russian reviews of and essays about the book (and the Lenin booklet published a year later) from the 1920s has been published on the website of the Lukács Archive International Foundation: https://www.lana.info.hu/en/lukacs/writings-about-lukacs/history-and-class-consciousness-in-the-debates-of-the-twenties/

A short piece about Claude Lévi-Strauss's Fondation Loubat lectures at the Collège de France in early 1950, and the limited archival records about what they covered.

I've provided a listing of which French texts are included in the recent translation of Georges Bataille, The Limit of the Useful.

https://progressivegeographies.com/2023/05/13/georges-bataille-the-limit-of-the-useful-a-listing-of-which-french-texts-it-includes/

More on the book here https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262047333/the-limit-of-the-useful/

I’ve also updated the page which lists English translations of texts in Bataille’s Oeuvres complètes and collections.
https://progressivegeographies.com/resources/georges-bataille-english-translations/

The source texts were not immediately obvious, so hopefully someone else finds this helpful.

One of the problems with my current project on Indo-European thought in 20th century France is how male-dominated it is. If you look at a photograph of the Collège de France in 1967, you can perhaps see why. It wasn’t much better at the Collège de France almost 20 years later.

Marie-Louise Sjoestedt is one exception, though she died at the age of just 40...

In this short post I say a little on her work and some of the sources about her.
