Sartre's Existential Biographies

Reference

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This book offers an assessment of Sartre as an exemplary figure in the evolving political and cultural landscape of post-1945 France. Sartre's originality is located in the tense relationship that he maintained between deeply held revolutionary political beliefs and a residual yet critical attachment to traditional forms of cultural expression. A series of case-studies centred on Gaullism, communism, Maoism (Part 1), the theatre, art criticism and the media (Part 2), illustrate the continuing relevance and appeal of Sartre to the contemporary world.

Sartre and the Media is the first book to offer a systematic account of Sartre's involvement in press publications and radio and television broadcasting in postwar France. Sartre's awareness of the growing power of the media to shape and influence public opinion was the motivating force underlying his interventions in the press from Combat and Le Figaro in 1944-45 to La Cause du Peuple, J'Accuse and Liberation in 1970-74, and in the French state-controlled radio and television network from the 'Tribune des Temps Modernes' radio series of 1947 to the aborted 'Antenne 2' television history series of 1974-75. Focused principally on the nature of relations between intellectuals and the media, this book will appeal to those interested in the issues of freedom of expression and censorship in contemporary France.

History & Criticism

A significant report on a critical topic, this classic volume of the New Directions for Evaluation series is now in print and available again. 
The author presents thirty-one provocative propositions challenging traditional ideas about the nature and practice of program evaluation. In the process, he explores ways to improve popular evaluation models and approaches and to creatively address intermediate and advanced evaluation issues. While challenging well-held beliefs and developing new and innovative approaches to program evaluation, the author also aims to provide a substantial introduction to the most analytical and comprehensive of the various accepted methods. This is the 58th issue of the Jossey-Bass quarterly series New Directions for Evaluation.
