“…De Warren develops this notion of original forgiveness through a reflection on the indispensability of trust for human existence, as well as an examination of the refusal or unavailability to forgive in the aftermath of moral harms.De Warren engages in a critical discussion of philosophical figures, including Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Mikhail Bakhtin, Edmund Husserl, Gabriel Marcel, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jean Améry, and of literary works by William Shakespeare, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Heinrich von Kleist, Simon Wiesenthal, Herman Melville, and Maurice Sendak. He uses this discussion to show that in trusting another person, we must trust in ourselves to remain available to the possibility of forgiveness for those occasions when the other person betrays a trust, without thereby forgiving anything in advance. …”

“…Si les sciences humaines et sociales portent un intérêt croissant aux friches urbaines en tant que niches écologiques, refuges pour les marginaux ou lieux du possible, on passe en général sous silence la longue histoire culturelle du terrain vague dont le caractère vide et indeterminé, intermédiaire et instable a fasciné les écrivains depuis Balzac et Zola, les photographes depuis Atget et Man Ray, les cinéastes depuis Tati et Melville. Tout en se référant à la discussion théorique qui permet de qualifier ces lieux d’« hétérotopies », de « xénotopie » ou de « tiers paysage », les études présentes soulignent que le terme de « terrain vague », surgi à l’époque romantique, comporte depuis ses origines une dimension esthétique qui se manifeste encore dans la culture moderne et contemporaine, que ce soit dans le roman policier, dans la littérature de terrain ou dans la géo-photographie…”
