Lignes is introduced as the most useful review through which to provide a narrative of French intellectual culture and the preservation of French Theory (or la pensée 68) since the 1980s. After a brief introduction to both intellectuals and reviews, a history of the significant developments in French intellectual culture throughout the twentieth century is provided. The methodological approach to Lignes and its editor Michel Surya is then delineated, and the book is situated between intellectual, cultural history approaches and previous studies of periodical publications before a summary of the coming chapters is provided.
