Estelle Ferrarese wrote to us about the publication of her new book: Le march\u00e9 de la vertu. Critique de la consommation \u00e9thique<\/em> (tentative English title: The Market of Virtue: Critique of Ethical Consumption<\/em>). The book appeared at the legendary Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin, located on the Place de la Sorbonne in Paris. The book is, of course, in French. At our last meeting in Brighton, UK (May 2023), Estelle Ferrarese presented some of her latest work \u2013 or the rough equivalent of a chapter of this new book. The title of her presentation was: “Reactualizing Adorno’s Theory of Exchange: A Critique of Ethical Consumption”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the publisher’s blub<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“La propagation actuelle de pratiques de consommation pr\u00f4nant un \u00ab juste \u00bb prix ou des achats \u00ab responsables \u00bb, fonde son succ\u00e8s sur une pr\u00e9tendue critique du capitalisme \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle de la vie quotidienne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce livre prend le contrepied de l\u2019opinion dominante et d\u00e9montre avec les outils de la Th\u00e9orie critique que la consommation \u00e9thique collabore \u00e0 l\u2019ordre m\u00eame auquel elle s\u2019efforce d\u2019\u00e9chapper. Elle dissimule le fait que le march\u00e9 d\u00e9sarme perp\u00e9tuellement les normes morales qui y sont inject\u00e9es. Elle ram\u00e8ne inad\u00e9quatement le capitalisme \u00e0 des m\u00e9canismes psychologiques, comme une humeur pr\u00e9datrice, qu\u2019il serait possible de brider par la vertu. Elle octroie \u00e0 l\u2019intention individuelle une ma\u00eetrise absolue sur le monde, \u00e0 m\u00eame de le m\u00e9tamorphoser sans reste. Et avec sa tendance au compte \u2013 des dommages ou des efforts vertueux \u2013, la consommation \u00e9thique concourt \u00e0 la forme que le march\u00e9 impose au monde, celle d\u2019une commensurabilit\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9ralis\u00e9e.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
