One that you might like is The Years of Theory,

post-war French Thought to the Present, by Frederick Jameson. In a series of

accessible lectures on the major figures of French theory.

Jamieson places this effervescent period of thought in the context of its most significant

political conjunctures, including the liberation of Paris, the Algerian war, the

uprisings of May 1968, and the creation of the EU. Terry Eagleton calls

Frederick Jameson one of the world's most eminent

cultural theorists, eclectic, insightful, and inspired. Jameson's writing in the years of

theory brings the philosophical debates of post-war France to life.
