Originally titled Precis de recuperation, the book is a scathing critique of ten major thinkers, including Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Jean-Fran ois Lyotard, and Cornelius Castoriadis. Sempron uses this catalog of careerism to reflect on the concept of recuperation-capitalisms uncanny ability to coopt anticapitalist critiques and subvert subversion. His central question- What happens to revolutionary ideas, including Marxism itself, in the hands of professional intellectuals?Semprons idiosyncratic and playful style of polemics takes existentialism, humanism, structuralism, poststructuralism, postmodernism, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis to task, casting new light on the figures who have become dominant staples of modern Anglophone academia, and proving the necessity of critiquing intellectuals roles within contemporary capitalism. A cult classic among the French radical left and scholars of the Situationist International and May 1968, A Gallery of Recuperation never made the impact it should have. Russells translation marks a major step in recognizing Semprons work beyond its French context.
