Fisiología de Leviatán. Traducción de Julián Calvo y C. A. Jordana.
Editorial Sudamericana Buenos Aires c1946. First Edition. Essays about government. "En todos estos varios ensayos va igualmente implícito que la sociedad es una segunda naturaleza y que el disciplinarla no está fuera del alcance del hombre. Quiero decir que la sociedad obedece a sus propias leyes y no a los deseos de los individuos que la componen. Las crisis las guerras las revoluciones se producen sin que hayan podido preverse o evitarse si se habían previsto. Una nación se precipita al desastre tan irresistiblemente como un alud. .ese furor o esa indiferencia no son más que el resultado del estado general de la sociedad último y supremo esfuerzo de causas lejanas y numerosas. .La débil voluntad de un individuo no puede nada en este movimiento de un mundo. .Tales son los temas de que trata esta obra: las leyes de la materia social las duras virtudes necesarias para dominarlas y la noción de una selección consagrada a ese gobierno." Contents include La comunión de los fuertes; Del Espíritu de las Sectas; El culto de la guerra; Del poder de las palabras; La idea de la libertad; El poder espiritual en la sociedad moderna; Sociología del verdugo; Vértigos; Tesoros secretos; Sociología de la novela policial; Sociología de lo novelesco; De los excesos de la literatura; Fuentes de la moral.

Buenos Aires: Editorial Sudamericana 1970. Libro. Buen estado. R�stica. 18 x 11 cm.; 121 p. Trad. de Dolores Sierra y N�stor S�nchez. Leve desgaste en tapas sello de librer�a.- Lo fant�stico no tiene ning�n sentido en un universo maravilloso. En un mundo de milagros lo extraordinario pierde poder�o. El prodigio es lo imposible sobreviniendo de improviso en un mundo donde lo imposible est� desterrado por definici�n. Lo fant�stico supone la solidez del mundo real para devastarlo mejor. Cuentos de hadas narraci�n fant�stica ciencia-ficci�n traicionan la tensi�n entre lo que el hombre puede y lo que desear�a poder. De modo an�logo los sue�os abren en el tejido de la realidad una fisura irremediable de la que conviene librarse lo antes posible pues podr�a provocar la muerte del so�ador.

Buenos Aires: Sur 1980. Libro. Muy buen estado. Encuadernaci�n de tapa blanda. 20 x 13 cm. Trad. de Jos� Bianco. 20 x 13 cm.; 332 pp. La �ltima obra del gran escritor franc�s desaparecido. Para quienes admiran a Roger Caillois y su gusto por trazar audaces diagonales a trav�s de las ciencias las culturas los rostros m�ltiples de lo ins�lito significativo este es un libro que se expande en una fascinante amplitud. Las m�scaras los insectos las piedras y los juegos la mitolog�a de los espejos de los tesoros del pulpo la funci�n de la poes�a la fantas�a de los universos pintados y las arquitecturas secretas la clasificaci�n peri�dica de Mendeleiev las soledades de los Andes las ambiciones del surrealismo. Poncio Pilatos audaz y No� rebelde las trampas de la memoria y las argucias del sue�o las tristezas del �xtasis todo ese conjunto abigarrado encuentra unidad al obsesionar sucesivamente a un escritor que es a la vez sabio y poeta. Cada uno de los libros de Roger Caillois encuentra aqu� la prolongaci�n donde todos se re�nen en un mismo esfuerzo por ilustrar lo que el autor llama "la l�gica de lo imaginario". "Lo que me fascina no son las ideas -escribe Roger Caillois- sino los datos del mundo los llamados de las vastas tinieblas tras las cuales el universo olvida pronto sus leyes y sus h�bitos la penumbra en la cual disimula los modelos de sus mecanismos as� como la fuente de la energ�a que lo mueve." Roger Caillois naci� en Reims en 1913. Form� parte del grupo surrealista desde 1932 hasta 1943 y dirigi� con Georges Bataille el Colegio de Sociolog�a entre 1937 y 1939. En 1954 fund� la revista internacional Di�genes. Miembro de la Academia de Letras de Francia asiduo visitante de la Argentina estrechamente vinculado a la revista SUR y a su fundadora Victoria Ocampo "descubridor" de Borges para el �mbito franc�s la figura de Caillois ha estado siempre muy cerca de nosotros. Muri� en julio de 1978. Sur Paperback

L'Incertezza dei Sogni
Milano: Edizioni SE 2014. Milano 2014; br. pp. 110 cm 13x225. Testi e Documenti. 231. "I filosofi da Sankara a Pascal e a Leibniz hanno amato definire la realt� come un insieme di sogni armonizzati tra loro. In tal modo intendevano sottrarre una parte di realt� al mondo esteriore e presentarlo come una fantasmagoria da cui la coscienza si sarebbe un giorno ridestata. Si stabiliva cos� una sorta di gerarchia: il sogno la percezione l'illuminazione o vera conoscenza che ordinava al tempo stesso i gradi del sapere e quelli di esistenza della realt�. Altri contemporaneamente non hanno mai smesso di interessarsi al contenuto del sogno alle immagini enigmatiche che lo costituiscono e di cui si sono sforzati di interpretare il senso. A seconda delle diverse epoche o delle diverse scuole hanno ritenuto di potervi leggere sia il futuro di colui che sognava sia gli inconfessabili segreti che nascondeva a se stesso. Per me i sogni hanno appena pi� senso delle forme delle nuvole o dei disegni sulle ali delle farfalle. Non annunciano e non rivelano nulla. La loro stessa esistenza � gi� piuttosto imbarazzante. D'altronde possono benissimo essere illusori senza che la realt� lo sia altrettanto. Ma poich� risulta inevitabile confonderli con la realt� almeno mentre si sogna non si pu� esser certi quando non si sogna di non confondere la realt� con essi: � una difficolt� che i filosofi cinesi e quelli occidentali non hanno peraltro mai trascurato." Con uno scritto di Guido Almansi. Edizioni SE unknown

CAILLOIS ROGER; BARASH MEYER TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH
Man Play And Games
University of Illinois Press Urbana and Chicago: 2001. Softcover. Brand new book. According to Roger Caillois play is "an occasion of pure waste: waste of time energy ingenuity skill and often of money." In spite of this--or because of it--play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this classic study Caillois defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space isolated and protected from the rest of life. Play is uncertain since the outcome may not be foreseen and it is governed by rules that provide a level playing field for all participants. In its most basic form play consists of finding a response to the opponent's action--or to the play situation--that is free within the limits set by the rules. Caillois qualifies types of games-- according to whether competition chance simulation or vertigo being physically out of control is dominant--and ways of playing ranging from the unrestricted improvisation characteristic of children's play to the disciplined pursuit of solutions to gratuitously difficult puzzles. Caillois also examines the means by which games become part of daily life and ultimately contribute to various cultures their most characteristic customs and institutions. Presented here in Meyer Barash's superb English translation Man Play and Games is a companion volume to Caillois's Man and the Sacred. Roger Caillois 1913-78 a French philosopher and writer was a cofounder of France's pathbreaking Coll�ge de Sociologie pour l'�tude du Sacr and the founding editor of Diogenes the journal of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies. His books included works of anthropology sociology psychoanalysis art and literary criticism. Meyer Barash coeditor of Marriage and the Family: A Comparative Analysis of Contemporary Problems was on the faculty of Hofstra College in New York. "Well worth the attention of every sociologist interested in the relationship of culture to play."--American Sociological Review "A book to be read for ideas."--American Journal of Sociology "An excellently conceived work."--Social Forces University of Illinois Press, Urbana and Chicago: 2001 paperback
