Reflections on “Ordinary Victories,” or Getting Under the World’s (Sociological) Skin

Reflections on “Ordinary Victories,” or Getting Under the World’s (Sociological) Skin - 2009.

This text sets out to show how philosophy can decant the complexity of comic strips. Comics show the movement of ways of thinking—literally in the drawings and theoretically in the texts—as they question, all at once, the social world, the phenomenon of politics and the phenomenon of art. This short article on a series of comic strips by Manu Larcenet entitled “Le Combat ordinaire” (Ordinary Victories) ultimately takes philosophy back into its original role, that of a “techné” (technique, according to Aristotle) or tool.
