(mainly) Serge Daney in English | https://sergedaney.blogspot.com
Ad for Daney's book in Cahiers (443/444): 'Behind this pathetic title is a collection of texts for Libération. The author follows a thread from cinema to television and to news. From "Ghosts of Permanence" (films on TV) to a visual appraisal of the "Gulf War". Reasonable? It's written and readable.'

With the ICA London programme about Serge Daney approaching, we've taken the opportunity to translate an extract of Pierre Eugène's incredible book about Daney (Pierre is attending a roundtable on Sept 30th).
