It doesn't seem that the list can cope with accents
here is it again then...
This is my translation of a passage with this term in it
I consider myself as a journalist, insofar as what interests me is the
present [l'actualite]... Philosophy, until Nietzsche, had eternity for its
raison d'etre. The first philosopher-journalist was Nietzsche. He introduced
the today [l'aujourd'hui] into the field of philosophy. Before, the
philosopher knew time and eternity, but Nietzsche was obsessed by the
present [l'actualite]... If we want to be masters of our future we must pose
fundamentally the question of the today. That is why, for me, philosophy is
a type of radical journalism (Dits et ecrits, Four Volume edition, II, 434).

So, it could mean something like "present reality" ?

I haven't listened to the lecture, but one alternate meaning of actualiti
which comes to mind is "news," or "current events." The Quebec newspaper
L'actualiti is an example.
