Claude Lefort
Claude Lefort (; ; 21 April 1924 – 3 October 2010) was a French philosopher and activist. He was politically active by 1942 under the influence of his tutor, the phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty (whose posthumous publications Lefort later edited). By 1943 he was organising a faction of the Trotskyist Parti Communiste Internationaliste at the Lycée Henri-IV in Paris. Lefort was impressed by Cornelius Castoriadis when he first met him. From 1946 he collaborated with him in the Chaulieu–Montal Tendency, so called from their pseudonyms ''Pierre Chaulieu'' (Castoriadis) and ''Claude Montal'' (Lefort). They published "On the Regime and Against the Defence of the USSR", a critique of both the Soviet Union and its Trotskyist supporters. They suggested that the USSR was dominated by a social layer of bureaucrats, and that it consisted of a new kind of society as aggressive as Western European societies. By 1948, having tried to persuade other Trotskyists of their viewpoint, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Elizabeth Lefort
Elizabeth Lefort (1914–2005) was a Canadian tapestry artist, known for replicating photographs including portraits. Biography Elizabeth Lefort was born in 1914 in Point Cross, Nova Scotia. In 1926 at the age of 12 she left school to begin her career and bring in needed income for her family. Lefort learned the craft of rug hooking from her mother. This craft has strong roots in Cape Breton. Lefort showed particular proficiency and around 1940 began following her own vision of design, by meticulously copying a postcard she received from her brother in England. Not only was the rug an artistic success, it sold for a higher price than the more traditional designs. To achieve the desired effect, Lefort dyed the wool she used to the specific colors she wanted. Lefort continued her work, championed by owner of a local crafts store, Kenneth Hansford, and she became the artist-in-residence at the ''Paul Pix Boutique'' in Margaree Harbour, Nova Scotia. Lefort and Hansford eventually ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
