I\u2019m member of the advisory committee of another website which could be of some interest to Charisma network members, called Books & Ideas<\/a>. It is an English-language version of the French online journal www.laviedesidees.fr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Books & Ideas includes hitherto unpublished articles and book reviews written in English, but also translations of a selection of the texts published in French on laviedesidees.fr. The site\u2019s purpose is to provide quality information about current intellectual life and publications in France and internationally, as well as discussions of major contemporary issues, in the form of in-depth essays, interviews and public debates.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the two websites is to echo current intellectual discussions, review major publications, and participate, both in France and across the Atlantic, in social and political debates. They cover not only the social sciences, but also aesthetics, literary criticism, architecture, as well as many others.<\/p>\n
