The body in Covid-19 times

written by Le Regard Libre

As we await new measures to alleviate the difficulties associated with the current health situation, a sense of consternation is growing. We wonder how long this situation will last, and above all, how long we'll be able to bear the social distances, the need to wear a mask, the distance from our loved ones, or even the renunciation of certain usual activities. From this perspective, a paradox grips us - and me first: to what extent can we preserve the health of the body while renouncing our own body?

La Horde is first and foremost the story of twenty-three people trained from childhood to cross the land of their flat world from one end to the other to discover the origin and nine forms of the wind. It is also - and above all - a unique object and material experience for the reader.

Focus on Black African thought

By Le Regard Libre · August 26, 2020
The literature on Black African philosophy is mainly concerned with analyzing the extent to which it exists. This is a complex and endless debate. That's why we thought it would be more interesting to highlight a few typical elements of this thought. It's a way of cutting through the Gordian knot and getting to the heart of the matter: philosophy or not, what characterizes Black African thought, and what has it contributed to humanity?
