My
on-going research on the various expressions (literary,
philosophical, political) of the discourse on pleasure in
eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century French texts has led me to
investigate recently its formulation in utopian texts, such as
Charles Fourier's Le Nouveau monde amoureux and Saint-Simon's
Le Nouveau christianisme. These works together with the study
of texts by Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane
Mallarmé lay the foundation for a new book on the Political
Economy of the Senses.
