For the first time, autobiographical notes of an African on his own psychosis are presented in print. Mr. Tanka's experiences are related to problems of his environment, characterized by cultural change. Information on his tribe, the Menka, and psychiatric comments provide the necessary background for the notes. The course of Mr. Tanka's illness, followed for twelve years, illustrates results of the International Pilot Study on Schizophrenia (IPSS) of the WHO that schizophrenia in patients from traditional cultures often has a favourable prognosis.

In the last few years contrastive linguistics has experienced a renaissance. In studies of the German and the English language the fragmentation of interests seems to be particularly undesirable. This bibliography attempts to inventory the contrastive studies concerning the two languages including questions of interference, theory and practice of translation and didactics. The bibliography concerns not only researchers, teachers and students at university, but also practicing teachers in schools and adult education, who are interested in an overview of this linguistic discipline (language teachers, teacher trainers etc.).

Raconter la carrière musicale de Mickey Guitar Baker consiste à passer en revue le Who's Who du rhythm and blues et du rock'n'roll des années 50, des styles musicaux qui font partie intégrante de la culture afro-américaine. Mickey Baker EST le guitariste qui a participé à un nombre incalculable de séances studio, accompagnant d'innombrables artistes. Cet homme, parti de rien, a connu une vie étrange, atypique et passionnante. Comment, alors que rien ne le prédestinait à une vie de musicien, a-t-il pu progressivement devenir un des meilleurs guitaristes au monde ? Comment est-il devenu l'un des musiciens les plus sollicités des studios new-yorkais ? C'est ce que ce livre tente d'expliquer en explorant sa longue carrière imprégnée de jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, soul et rock'n'roll, sans oublier ses multiples méthodes de guitare et de son heure de gloire avec le duo Mickey & Sylvia, sa carrière française et ses diverses incursions musicales. Ce livre de référence, qui ne se lit pas obligatoirement d'une traite, a aussi l'ambition de remettre au goût du jour toutes ces musiques du siècle dernier un peu oubliées afin de les faire découvrir à une nouvelle génération. Cet ouvrage est aussi l'occasion, dix ans après la disparition de ce grand guitariste, de lui rendre enfin hommage.

Parents who come from different language backgrounds often hope that their children will be able to speak the languages of both their parents. In families where this is the goal, the ‘one parent-one language' approach (Ronjat, 1913) is widely used. The ‘one parent-one language' approach is relatively effective in promoting active bilingualism among young children in a society where there is little support for the minority language. However, there is a general perception that maintenance of the minority language into middle childhood and beyond is difficult as during this period children's contacts with the outside world expand and the input in the majority language increases. This book examines the sociolinguistic environment and the nature of parental input for children from Japanese-Australian families, who have been exposed to Japanese and English through the ‘one parent-one language' approach in Australia. The research on which the book is based identifies factors which account for successful and unsuccessful cases of Japanese language maintenance of children from those families. The major part of this study involves discourse analysis of the conversations between four Japanese mothers and their primary school aged children based on audio-recordings over a period of 21 months. This qualitative approach is complemented by a quantitative study interviewing 25 Japanese mothers about their children's language experience.

La Cité n'a pas toujours été celle de Calvin... Des personnalités marquantes, il y en a eu à tous les coins de rue ou presque. La Rome protestante non plus ne s'est pas faite en trois jours, mais bien grâce à ces hommes et ces femmes, souvent invisibilisées. Les plaques commémoratives, les bustes et le nom de ses rues le rappellent, parfois en faisant grincer des dents. De sa position, au bout du lac, Genève les a regardés émerger, interagir et se succéder. Elle en a gardé des souvenirs précis, qu'elle a retranscrits, avec affection et humour, dans un grimoire découvert en Vieille-Ville au printemps 2020 Cet authentique journal intime de Genève s'avère une visite guidée vivante et savoureuse à travers les siècles et durant une année calendaire : du couronnement de Conrad II le Salique en la cathédrale Saint-Pierre en 1034, à l'arrivée de la Covid-19 en février 2020. Au fil des dates, Genève en 366 jours nous dévoile sous un jour souvent inattendu plus de 730 personnalités, des monuments et des institutions d'hier et d'aujourd'hui. Sorte d'éphéméride et de who's who, ce livre apportera, aux amoureux de Genève comme aux curieux, le sel des événements de la grande et de la petite histoire de la région, au hasard des rues et des rencontres.

Né en 1950, Roger Stern est, dans les années 70-80, l'un des piliers de Marvel. Il écrit alors certaines des séries les plus prestigieuses de la maison d'édition, d'Amazing Spider-Man à Captain America, en passant par Avengers et Doctor Strange. Stern débute dans l'univers des fanzines. Au début des années 70, il publie, avec Bob Layton (qui va lui aussi se faire un nom dans le monde des comics), la revue amateur CPL, où apparaissent, entre autres, les premiers travaux de John Byrne, son ami et collaborateur en maintes entreprises. Après quelques années passées chez DC Comics, Stern revient chez Marvel en 1997 pour raconter la véritable origine de son lutin malveillant dans Hobgoblin Lives ! Cette mini-série est suivie par une autre, tout aussi fondamentale, centrée cette fois sur Norman Osborn : Revenge of the Green Goblin. En 2010, il fait un autre bref retour à la Maison des Idées. Il aide d'abord Kurt Busiek à compléter le sequel de Marvels, Eye Of The Camera, puis il s'illustre sur Amazing Spider-Man et sur la mini-série Captain America : Forever Allies. En plus de travailler pour la bande dessinée, Roger Stern a aussi écrit trois romans best-sellers sur Superman. D'origine italienne, le regretté dessinateur John Buscema est né à New York le 11 décembre 1927. Passionné de peinture dès l'enfance, il s'inscrit au Pratt Institute of Arts pour mieux approfondir sa passion. Mais il se rend vite compte de la difficulté pour un peintre à percer dans le domaine de l'art pur et il tente la carte de sa version commerciale, la bande dessinée, non sans garder une certaine frustration pour l'occasion manquée. Sa première production dans le domaine des comics a lieu en 1948 pour Atlas/Timely (l'actuelle Marvel), pour qui il travaille de façon presque ininterrompue à partir de 1966 jusqu'à sa disparition, en 2002. Buscema a dessiné tous les plus célèbres personnages de Marvel, mais aussi Superman et Wonder Woman de DC Comics et, naturellement, le héros de fantasy Conan le Barbare pendant presque trente ans. Né en 1942, Tom Palmer est l'un des encreurs les plus estimés et les plus célèbres de l'univers des comics. Il commence son activité professionelle le chez Marvel en encrant Doctor Strange. Au cours de ses cinquante ans de carrière, il se distingue surtout comme encreur de Neal Adams, John Buscema, Gene Colan et John Byrne avec lesquels il signe les cycles légendaires des super-héros Marvel dans les années 60 à 90 sur des revues comme X-Men, Daredevil, Tomb of Dracula, Star Wars, Avengers et Doctor Strange. Désormais en semi-retraite, il a aussi collaboré, ces dernières années, avec DC Comics, Valiant Comics et IDW Publishing. Il est également peintre et illustrateur publicitaire.

"Letters to Immanuel Bekker" is an edition of forty-three letters written between 1817 and 1825 to the German philologist Immanuel Bekker by three friends. Most of the letters are by Henriette Herz, who had a famous salon in Berlin at the turn of the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. The letters from Italy (1817-1819) discuss the life of the German colony there, especially of the German artists. The correspondence contains references to the social, cultural and political life in Berlin and in Germany during the second decade of the nineteenth century.

In our world of research, logics and measurement many of the ideas of (the New Testament and of) the Fathers (pre-existence, incarnation, Virgin Birth, demons,etc.) are today no longer acceptable. For those people who, like the author, see in the Chalcedonian Jesus Christ a mythological creature, Markus' christology is an alternative which at present will surely be more welcome. "Jesus could be, ontologically speaking, nothing more than a man and, nevertheless, he could have been used by God... in a unique way for the sake of our salvation".

This study offers a revaluation of the works of Peter Altenberg, a neglected writer of the Viennese "Jahrhundertwende", who influenced such diverse figures as Karl Kraus, Robert Musil, Rainer Maria Rilke, Franz Kafka and Georg Kaiser. Presenting Altenberg within the context of Vienna at the turn of the century, it provides a comprehensive analysis of his thought, literary theory and practice. It examines : his socio-cultural critique ; his blueprint for a new society ; the principle of aesthetic reductionism which he pioneered ; his conception of woman ; and his presentation of modern man's existential crisis.

Madrid, 1960. Ava Gardner quitte sa maison des environs de Madrid pour s'établir dans la capitale espagnole, avenida del doctor Arce. Dans le même immeuble, au premier étage, le général argentin, Juan Domingo Perón, a emménagé peu de temps auparavant. Bientôt, une jeune femme silencieuse, Carmina, s'installera au rez-de-chaussée. On pourrait penser que tout sépare ces trois personnages. Mais d'un étage à l'autre, leurs existences révèlent d'étranges correspondances : exils, regrets, fantômes et une incommensurable solitude dont un petit jardin, au bas de leur immeuble, se fait l'écho. Un jardin qu'Ava veut aussi blanc que possible. A moins qu'il ne s'agisse du désir d'Eva ? C'est que le souvenir et la voix d'Evita Perón hantent les lieux chaque jour davantage...

Edmonde. Nous sommes en 1938, et le bal tragique commence. De Rome à Marseille, d'une alcôve l'autre, d'un palais l'autre, voici la fille de l'ambassadeur François Charles-Roux prête pour se marier, comme d'innombrables jeunes filles de son âge. Mais rien ne se passe comme prévu. Arrachée à l'amour de son fiancé Camillo Caetani, dont le mariage ferait d'elle une duchesse et une princesse, mais qui sera tué sur le front albanais. Arrachée à la France de Vichy par l'intelligence d'un père qui sut déjouer les pièges de la collaboration, arrachée à la douceur du lien avec sa soeur, la belle Cyprienne, princesse del Drago, par l'Italie des Chemises noires, et le terrible secret qui unit celle-ci à Galeazzo Ciano, gendre de Mussolini. On skie en cachemire à Megève, mais on renseigne la Résistance. On joue du piano avec Samson François, mais on planque les réfugiés dans le jardin. On roucoule avec les Vilmorin, mais on compte les morts dans le Who's Who macabre de la guerre. Sous les bombes, dans les officines du pouvoir, dans les infirmeries militaires, Edmonde le soldat de la 5e DB n'a pas froid aux yeux. En 1945, elle ne sera ni fiancée, ni duchesse, ni du beau monde, mais de tous les mondes à la fois. Ce roman-fresque raconte superbement la métamorphose d'Edmonde en femme libre.

Foreword To my friend, to my guide, to the mahatma of my heart, to the visionary of a united world living in peace and harmony in the earthly paradise that God has given us. Life and destiny is like an iceberg ; most of us is hidden, and for some, this is the start of the long path of questioning... For souls that are searching, the time then comes when the seeker finds what is being sought : the precursor, the one that has opened the path, cleared it out and illuminated the way. Thus in the deepest part of our Selves, at the centre of our soul, Joythi, the Divine Light is revealed and works on meeting all those who seek it. Kavi Yogi Maharshi Shuddhananda Bharati was a scholar, linguist, scientist, seer poet, saint and the sage of the Cosmic Age. He was ever agile and active, writing, singing, doing good and observed silence for 30 continuous years. He was a universalist, who was not bound to caste, religion, colour and race or geographic bounds. He was an apostle of Sama Yoga, which seeks for a synthesis of science and yoga, West and East, the actual and the ideal in life. Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati is the author of creative and literary works with ­diverse writing styles : epic and lyric writings, melodramas, operas, comedies, pastoral theo­logies, novels, short stories, biographies, notes on famous works, essays. Bharata Shakti Kavi Malayam is his magnum opus. Editions ASSA, Christianananda Bharati

In Each Child Is My Only One : Lotte Carlebach-Preuss, the Portrait of a Mother and Rabbi's Wife, Miriam Gillis-Carlebach, the daughter of Rabbi Dr. Joseph Zvi Carlebach (1883–1942), last Chief Rabbi of Hamburg and its surroundings, describes her childhood in the lively household of a rabbi's family with nine children, focusing on the special personality of her mother, Lotte Carlebach, née Preuss (1900–1942). The book starts with the history of the Preuss family, goes on to describe the marriage of Lotte to Joseph Carlebach, and portrays in detail their dynamic family life – until their deportation with their four youngest children to a Latvian concentration camp in 1942. The book is composed of two main parts. In the first section the reader learns about the events up to 1938, both inside and outside the Carlebach home ; the second section covers the years 1938–1941, in which there was a lively correspondence mainly between the mother and those of her children who succeeded in emigrating from Nazi Germany. This part concludes with several testimonies portraying the special personalities of Rabbi Carlebach and his wife and their devotion to the unfortunate who benefited from their unbounded assistance and altruism during the Holocaust. Many photographs are included in the book, several of them taken by Lotte Carlebach herself. The book is a unique and personal testimony about Jewish life in Germany during the years of persecution that relentlessly led to the conflagration of the Holocaust.

Since the 1990s and the 2000s, Western social protection systems have experienced a turn towards activation. This turn consists of the multiplication of measures aimed at bringing those who are unemployed closer to participation in the labour market. These measures often induce a strengthening of the conditions that must be met in order to receive social benefits. It is in this well known context that the authors gathered in this book decided to take a closer look at the relationship between activation policies for the unemployed and the right and the duty to work. If activation measures are likely to increase transitions towards the labour market, we can also make the assumption that they may, particularly when they are marked with the seal of coercion, hinder or dramatically reduce the right to freely chosen work. In such circumstances, the realisation of the "right to work", which is often stated to be the aim of those who promote activation, tends in practice to be reduced to an increasing pressure being exerted on the unemployed. In this case, isn't it actually the duty to work that is particularly reinforced ? After an historical and philosophical perspective on the issue, this assumption is confronted with the developments observed in the United States and in France, and then with the guidelines laid down in international human rights instruments. What follows is a discussion of two alternatives to the dominant activation model : the basic income guarantee and the employment guarantee.

Normandy, France, January 15, 1943. The weather is clear, the sun is shining. Two Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft fly over the Bayeux-Caen railroad. The target is a German freight train - and its locomotive. Aboard the first Spitfire, Sergeant Ferguson is aligning his gun sights on the target. It is 02 : 30 p. m. This will be his very last flight... HARASSING THE OCCUPYING FORCES TO PREPARE THE INVASION The RAF and RCAF had been flying hundreds of similar sorties over France for months, in order to weaken the German forces, particularly the Luftwaffe. The pilots of No. 401 Squadron were among those who took part in this patient work, made up of constant patrols and attacks. Among the 63 men mentioned in this book, 25 were killed in action between 1942 and 1944. A CRASH THAT AWOKE THE SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE Touched by William Ferguson's sacrifice, some French citizens decided to bury the young Canadian flier with dignity, honour and respect. The Germans took this as a provocation. A few weeks later, the Sipo-SD (the "Gestapo") arrested a dozen of them. They were sent to concentration camps - some of them later died in Büchenwald, Dachau and Mauthausen. Others did survive, including Paul Le Caër. He is the one who has supported the author and told him what happened. Today, he is signing the preface of this book. UNPUBLISHED DOCUMENTS AND TESTIMONIES Based on an in-depth analysis of unpublished documents, including the Fergusons' archives and No. 401 Squadron Operation Record Book, this work depicts the very last flight of the young Canadian pilot in detail. With a striking truthfulness, you will relive the squadron's daily life, the faith of the pilots, as well as the beginning of the sortie and "Bill" Ferguson's last minutes. FIVE YEARS OF RESEARCH AND EMOTION A young and talented historian involved in the field of remembrance in Normandy, François Oxéant has spent over five years fitting the pieces of the puzzle together. This book will help you discover all aspects of his fascinating investigation with a methodical and rigorous approach. He has met some of the last witnesses of the events and has been in touch with the pilot's family for a few years, making us share his emotion and admiration for Bill, who was barely younger than himself.

Aujourd'hui, grâce aux yeux des plus puissants télescopes, nous savons que les étoiles de notre Galaxie sont autant de soleils entourés de planètes. Ces nouveaux mondes extra-terrestres ne sont donc plus une science-fiction. Petits, grands, terrestres, marins, gazeux, tempétueux, infernaux, ils sont aussi incroyablement divers. Comment ces exoplanètes se sont-elles formées ? Pourront-elles un jour nous révéler une forme de vie à leur surface ? Comment peut-on se les représenter ? Star Wars, Dr. Who, Moebius, Azimov... autant d'inspiration artistique. Mais sont-elles bien à l'image de ce que sont réellement les exoplanètes ?

The facts in the relationship of Sadakichi Hartmann and Walt Whitman have never been clarified, particularly Hartmann's controversial interview with the poet and its publication in the "New York Herald", April 14, 1889. Of more importance was Hartmann's attempt to found a Whitman Society and the opposition of jealous Whitman associates who frustrated his efforts, although a Whitman Society was founded as the result of his initial work. Further, Hartmann's life-long interest in the poet and his various publications are not generally known. The introduction and edition of his writings will elucidate this literary association.

This collection of essays by authors in a variety of specialities should demonstrate how, in the Middle Ages, Boethius' texts helped shape the essential concepts of the educated person who underwent a course of the Liberal Arts studies. These essays should be of interest to philosophers, logicians, musicologists, historians of mathematics and ideas and to literary scholars. Not only is each paper written by a known authority in his field, but the collection into one volume shows how closely related these various disciplines were in the principles which Boethius chose as his basis for the Study of the Liberal Arts.

Platen, in the critical imagination, is a classicistic formalist who hid his anguished life behind imitative art. This cliché - which originates in Heine's early caricature - has not been corrected because of a virtual absence of close analyses of the kind undertaken in this study. There is shown to be unsuspected continuity in experiments with lyric forms as different as Lied, ghasel, sonnet, ode, idyll and "Pindaric" hymn ; Platen appears as a decidedly confessional, even histrionic, writer in the wake of Byron, and his subjectivity proves strong and unrepentant enough to be comparable to Heine's own.

In eighteenth century Germany goods were produced in manufactories as well as by independent craftsmen and artisans employed by capitalists. The manufactories using tools and manually operated machines foreshadowed in many respects the factories of the nineteenth century. State and local support for the manufactories was aimed at reducing unemployment, maintaining military strength and securing foreign currency. Although not all manufactories were successful they provided a valuable heritage of industrial and commercial skills which were profitable to later entrepreneurs. However, those who - like Karl Marx - considered the manufactories to be a stage in the process of industrialisation have been proved wrong.
