Il y a cinquante ans, une guerre nucléaire a décimé la population mondiale. Un groupe de survivants a fini par se former, et ce qui reste des Etats-Unis d'Amérique s'est choisi un président. Mais des deux familles qui se sont affrontées pour le pouvoir, la mienne a perdu. Aujourd'hui, les enfants des adversaires d'autrefois sont contraints de s'épouser lors d'une cérémonie censée assurer la paix. J'ai seize ans cette année, et mon tour est venu. Je m'appelle Ivy Westfall. Ma mission ? Tuer l'homme que je suis destinée à épouser... le fils du président.

The whiteness of the whale. Recherche en arts et expérience collective

Ce travail collectif poursuit les explorations du roman de Melville, Moby Dick, mené par le Laboratoire des objets libresà partir de l'analyse et l'actualisation de ses grands sujets, sur la collaboration, le faire, l'intelligence collective, la sensibilité, la pensée écologique, la traduction, la polyvalence et la mobilité. Qu'est-ce qu'une oeuvre blanche ? Une oeuvre blanche, au sens de Barthes, serait une oeuvre baignée par la clarté, dépourvue de sous-entendu, nourrie par la filiation et alimentée par le désir. Le travail de Peter Soriano, habité par une pensée " océanique ", par la mobilité, la fluidité et l'allégement des opérations sculpturales, vient ici rencontrer une blancheur d'une toute autre catégorie, une blancheur chargée par la troublante ambivalence d'un animal, subtil, incompris et effrayant, cernée par la traduction des signes et le don d'ubiquité. Cet animal, c'est Moby Dick. Ce livre est le fruit de la collaboration entre le sculpteur Peter Soriano et un petit collectif de plasticiennes chercheuses et plasticien chercheur de l'université Bordeaux Montaigne, autour du chapitre quarante-deux " La blancheur du cachalot " de Moby-Dick.

Stars and Stellar Evolution

The diverse forms that stars assume in the course of their lives can all be derives from the initial conditions : the mass and the original chemical composition. In this textbook the basic concepts of stellar structure and the main roads of stellar evolution are described. First, the observable parameters are presented, which are based on the radiation emerging from a stellar atmosphere. Then the bascphysics is described, such as the physics of gases, radiation transport, and nuclear processes, followed by essential aspects of modelling the structure of stars. After a chapter on star formation, the various steps in the evolution of stars are presented. This leads us to brown dwarfs, to the way of star changes into the red-giant state and numerous other stages of evolution and ultimately to the stellar ashes such as white dwarfs, supernovae and neutron stars. Stellar winds, stellar rotation and convection all influence the way a star evolves. The evolution of binary stars is included by using several canonical examples in which interactive processes lead to X-Ray binaries and supernovae of type la. Finally, the consequence of the study of stellar evolution are tied to observed mass ans luminosity functions and to the overall evolution of matter in the universe.

Polish Psychological Verbs at the Lexicon-Syntax Interface in Cross-linguistic Perspective

This book is a comparative study of Polish psychological verbs. The analysis concentrates on the lexicon-syntax interface of psych verbs, and constitutes an argument in favour of its strong dependence on event structure. The aim of this study is to show that the class of Polish psych verbs, as in many other languages, is not uniform. The analysed subclasses are differentiated on the basis of their causation and stativity. The marriage of those semantic traits and their structural representation is possible only if it is performed via event structure configuration, a layer which appears to underlie the conceptualisation of events.

Prisons and Idylls

Critical attempts to evaluate Kleist's fictional world, e.g. as ordered or disordered, accessible or resistant to reason, face a hermeneutic problem : the material and psychological embeddedness of the characters in the very world they seek to understand. This problem is reflected not only in the less-than-omniscient perspective of Kleist's narrators, but also in the reader's confrontation with competing readings of events in terms of mythic absolutes and with the opaquely concrete quality of spatial metaphors. In this light, three new interpretations offer insight into such problems as the nature of the idyll in "Das Erdbeben in Chili," the Marquise von O...'s creative self-imprisonment, and the gypsy's apparently supernatural intervention in Kohlhaas' quest. Finally, the book presents a dynamic typology of spatial phenomena in the stories which accounts for Kleist's concern with the interpretive process as opposed to its presumed endpoint.

Wild Swans Suite. for violin and piano. violin and piano.

"Being Russian born I have a strong connection to the ballet scores of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Stravinsky, and as a result in the Wild Swans, more than in any other work of mine, I allowed myself the freedom to roam through 200 years of musical genres, ranging from Hungarian Operetta through folk music and even including the influences of jazz and popular music, " says Elena Kats-Chernin. The full-length work, which premiered in Sydney in 2003, was written for choreographer Meryl Tankard after the two artists had already worked together for the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games, and became one of the composer's greatest successes. Many excerpts in various arrangements have a concert life of their own today - including the world-renowned Eliza Aria. Arranged by the composer in 2004 for violin and piano after the original orchestral version, the half-hour suite comprises ten characteristic movements : Green Leaf Prelude, Eliza Aria, Brothers, Wicked Witch (piano solo), Magic Spell Tango, Glow Worms, Darkness of the Forest, Eliza and the Prince, Mute Princess, Transformation.

Decision-Making and Limited Resources

What happens when advanced students of English for general purposes suddenly find themselves as beginning students of English for special purposes ? What happens in interlanguage when such students are faced with the obligation of constructing a viable currency for the market ? What happens when the learner-actor attempts to understand for meaning in texts for the professions ? What happens at the point where interlanguage and reality meet ? Such encounters constitute genuine moments of opportunity. They are essentially the moments of truth that will determine the actual potential of the learner-interlocutor as interactor with the text - and with reality itself. Literacy is at stake - and professional competence. Actor performance cannot be seen as a simple function of resources alone, but is to be seen as a function of a complexity of factors such as mother-tongue and linguistic distance, bilingualism and market competition, acquisition and learning, language used in the operations, and lexical currency status. The book is an empirical study against the background of the new competition of today's service economy and the requirements of the interaction imperative in the business world of today. And it is set in a dual linguistic environment.

Gabrielle Roy and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:-«Terre des Hommes» - Self and Non-Self

The pivotal work within the literary corpus of both Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Gabrielle Roy each, significantly, bears the title Terre des hommes. Saint-Exupéry encapsulates the results of a searching existential and humanist enquiry into a récit (1939), and Roy her similar findings into a thirty-page essay commissioned to introduce the 1967 Montréal World Exposition, itself named "Terre des Hommes". These pieces of writing, and the development of their key themes in other texts, lend themselves eminently to comparison for through Roy's essay we learn of her specific attraction to the Exupérian ethos of "l'homme" (self) and man's interaction with "la terre" (non-self). The present study aims principally to detect the presence of these essences in each author's work. In a subsidiary way it also endeavours to situate their rationals within a certain historico-literary context. Finally, an attempt is made to critically assess especially Roy's distinctive representation, through literature, of the self and the exterior world.

Nietzsche and the End of Freedom

Nietzsche's writing is not some game of 'freeplay' and terms like 'intertextuality' are useless in discussing its influence. This study takes Nietzsche, then Kafka's Trial, Thomas Mann's Death in Venice, Heinrich Mann's Man of Straw, Rilke's Malte Laurids Brigge and Musil's Törless. It argues that Nietzsche mediates and modernises the dilemmas of Romanticism and that a properly differentiated account of his literary reception can illuminate the dynamics of German culture on the eve of the Great War.

Contemporary Studies in the National Olympic Games Movement

National Olympic Games were more closely connected with the Ancient Greek ideal than the modern international Olympic Games of de Coubertin. Moreover, such national or regional Olympic Games have not only been precursors for the international Olympic Games but also they have been further developed parallel with the international Olympic Movement - even in the 20th century, in Europe, in North and South America and in Asia. In the emerging nation states of Europe, both before as well as after the turn of the century, these national Olympic Games had a more important function (identity-forming) than the Olympic Games.

Style and Rhetoric in Bertrand Russels's Work

A thorough examination of Bertrand Russell's language is the object of this study. Since this is the first major analysis of his writing style, examples taken from a wide spectrum of his writings are examined. Structurally the investigation begins by treating individual vocabulary and then moves on to larger structural units, covering such areas as figurative language and description. The final chapter deals with his rhetoric, discussing his methods of persuasion and the logic of his arguments. This careful analysis of his writings is significant in that it sheds new light on interesting aspects of Russell's character.

Revue de littérature comparée N° 354, 2/2015 : Les Littératures du Nord de l'Europe

Sylvain BRIENS, La mondialisation du théâtre nordique à la fin du XIXe siècle. Le fonds Prozor de la Bibliothèque nordique de Paris lu au prisme de la sociologie de l'acteur-réseau, RLC LXXXIX, n° 2, avril-juin 2015, p. 137-150. Le fonds Prozor de la bibliothèque nordique de Paris témoigne de la percée du théâtre scandinave en France et en Europe à la fin du XIXe siècle. Par l'analyse du travail du traducteur Prozor, des porte-paroles et intermédiaires agissant comme médiateurs, des points de passage, cet article examine les mécanismes de diffusion internationale du théâtre nordique, il s'articule autour de trois acteursréseaux : Prozor dans sa fonction complexe d'agent littéraire ; Paris et ses chaines de traduction ; le réseau de théâtres libres dans sa fonction de diffusion mondiale du théâtre nordique. Thomas MOHNIKE, "Le Dieu Thor, la plus barbare d'entre les barbares divinités de la Vieille Germanie" . Quelques observations pour une théorie des formes narratives du savoir social en circulation culturelle, RLC LXXXIX, n° 2, avril-juin 2015, p. 151-164. En 1915, l'imprimerie d'Epinal, connue pour ses estampes amusantes, publia un résumé symbolique des événements de la première année de la Première Guerre mondiale. Sur cette gravure, le dieu norrois Thor est présenté comme le dieu du Kaiser allemand, détruisant des cathédrales gothiques et ainsi la civilisation. Thor symbolisait ainsi la nature prétendument barbare des Allemands. Cet article se propose de cartographier les chemins et opérations historiques qui conduisirent le dieu nordique Thor de l'Islande du XIIIe siècle en France du XXe siècle en le transformant en symbole de l'hostilité allemande. Des contextes importants sont l'Anneau de Nibelung de Richard Wagner et tout particulièrement la philologie comparée. Ces observations peuvent servir de point de départ pour une théorie des formes narratives du savoir social en circulation culturelle. Régis BOYER, Méditation sur Rosmersholm, RLC LXXXIX, n° 2, avril-juin 2015, p. 165-173. De l'avis de tous les connaisseurs, Rosmersholm (1886) est le chef-d'oeuvre d'Ibsen, même si ce n'est ni la plus connue ni la plus fréquemment jouée de ses pièces. On peut se demander pourquoi. Cette pièce, extrêmement difficile à jouer, est favorable à toutes les confusions ou erreurs d'interprétation possibles, pièce dont il est permis d'avancer qu'Ibsen n'est jamais allé aussi loin dans sa quête du tragique. Cet article cherche à élucider les modalités et les raisons d'un tel chef-d'oeuvre dans une perspective moderniste. Sans entrer dans la discussion sur le post-tragique, il s'agit de cerner ce qui fait en soi l'originalité moderne de cette étrange pièce. Corinne FRANCOIS-DENEVE, Anne Charlotte Leffler, dans l'ombre portée de Strindberg, RLC LXXXIX, n° 2, avril-juin 2015, p. 175-186. "Auteure" prolifique du "genombrott" suédois, "féministe" affichée, dont les pièces étaient davantage populaires que celles d'August Strindberg, Anne Charlotte Leffler a peu à peu disparu des anthologies de la littérature scandinave. En a-t-elle été chassée par des critiques phallocrates, comme ont pu le clamer les partisans des gender studies dans les années 1970 ? Son oeuvre était-elle trop datée ? La redécouverte récente de son théâtre, en Suède, puis en France, permet de recontextualiser cette "oubliée" qui a sans doute toujours des choses à dire. Harri VEIVO, Cosmopolite en crise. Décentrements de modernité et fractures de subjectivité dans les récits de voyage d'Olavi Paavolainen, RLC LXXXIX, n° 2, avril-juin 2015, p. 187-203. Dans les années 20 et 30, l'écrivain finlandais Olavi Paavolainen (1903-1964) s'est donné la tâche d'interroger et analyser la modernité dans toutes ses manifestations et dans tous les lieux où elle se fait ressentir. Ce projet l'amène à s'intéresser d'abord à la modernité jouissive et émancipatrice des années folles, ensuite à la montée du totalitarisme en Europe et, après ce tournant dysphorique, aux pays de l'Amérique latine, jugés capables de transcender les conflits européens. Les récits de voyage de Paavolainen produisent ainsi un décentrement de la modernité ; en même temps, ils expriment la crise de la subjectivité de l'auteur, fondée sur l'idéal européen du cosmopolitisme. Philippe CHARDIN, Un beau roman d'éducation estonien : Vérité et Justice d'Anton Tammsaare, RLC LXXXIX, n° 2, avril-juin 2015, p. 205-217. Le long chef-d'oeuvre de Tammsaare, écrit durant l'après-guerre et retraçant 50 ans d'histoire de l'Estonie, apparaît comme une synthèse extraordinairement originale de plusieurs genres européens différents parmi lesquels un roman rural dans sa première partie et un roman du Crime et du Châtiment, sorte de tragédie familiale du péché originel ; mais on remarque aussi de fortes analogies avec trois formes de romans d'éducation : un roman pédagogique tragi-comique à l'Ecole de M. Maurus, le roman d'une éducation sentimentale douloureuse et par-dessus tout un roman de la transformation d'un jeune homme qui vient de son village en intellectuel avec son ironie dévastatrice contre toutes les valeurs sociales et religieuses, sa "conscience malheureuse" et ses engagements à demi forcés dans la vie politique ou dans sa vie privée qui rappellent d'autres grands romans contemporains, de Musil, de Proust, de Thomas Mann et de Svevo. Frédérique TOUDOIRE-SURLAPIERRE, Phèdre et la Suède : un "décentrement de modèles" ?, RLC LXXXIX, n° 2, avril-juin 2015, p. 219-230. Cet article examine, à partir de la pièce de l'écrivain suédois, Per Olov Enquist, Till Fedra, les modalités et les enjeux de ce transfert culturel que constitue cette réécriture de la célèbre tragédie de Racine. Utilisant les ressources scientifiques de l'imagologie et de l'ethnocritique, cet article met en évidence les différentes opérations de ce que nous avons appelé un "décentrement de modèles" , par le biais de la déconstruction de la langue française, de l'oedipianisation du mythe, un transfert d'images et un déplacement de concepts. Mickaëlle CEDERGREN et Ylva LINDBERG, Vers un renouvellement du canon de la littérature francophone. Les enjeux de l'enseignement universitaire en Suède, RLC LXXXIX, n° 2, avril-juin 2015, p. 231-243. Même si la circulation de la littérature francophone est aujourd'hui en pleine expansion à travers le monde, sa diffusion et, par conséquent, sa place dans les circuits de canonisation, reste encore inégale. Cet article analyse la place octroyée aux lettres francophones dans l'enseignement universitaire du français langue étrangère en Suède. Proposant une réflexion sur le canon littéraire traditionnel et montrant la nécessité de reconsidérer sa valeur dans un contexte universitaire étranger, la Suède apparaît tantôt comme le pays promoteur de la haute-culture française tantôt comme le bastion des littératures francophones souvent contemporaines et/ou de la littérature couronnée de prix littéraires. Sylvain BRIENS, The globalization of Nordic Theatre. The Prozor collection at the Nordic library in Paris read through the Actor-network Theory, RLC LXXXIX (in French), no. 2, april-june 2015, p. 137-150. The Prozor collection at the Nordic library in Paris demonstrates the breakthrough of Scandinavian theatre in France and Europe at the end of the 19th Century. Through an analysis of Prozor's translations, the work of spokespeople and intermediaries acting as mediators, and points of passage this article will attempt to understand the mechanisms promoting Nordic theatre's international distribution. The study is centred on three actor-networks : Prozor in his complex function as literary agent ; Paris and its translation supply chains ; the network of free theatres in its role in the worldwide distribution of Nordic theatre. Thomas MOHNIKE, "The god Thor, the most barbarous of all barbarous gods of the Old Germany". Some observations for a theory of narrating forms of social knowledge in cultural circulation, RLC LXXXIX (in French), no. 2, apriljune 2015, p. 151-164. In 1915, the Epinal printing company, known for its often amusing illustrated one page prints, published a summary of the first year of the First World War, depicting the Old Norse God Thor as the god of the German Kaiser, destroying gothic cathedrals and thus civilization. Thor thus served as symbol for the supposedly barbarous nature of the Germans. In my article, I try to map some of the ways and historical operations that took the Old Norse god Thor from 13th century Iceland to 20th century France and transformed him to a symbol for German warfare. Major contexts appear to be Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung and particularly comparative philology. These observations, I propose, could serve as a starting point for a theory of narrating forms of social knowledge in cultural circulation. Régis BOYER, Meditation on Rosmerholm, RLC LXXXIX (in French), no. 2, apriljune 2015, p. 165-173. In the opinion of all the experts, Rosmersholm (1886) is the masterpiece of Ibsen, even though it is neither the most famous nor the most frequently performed of his plays. One may wonder why. This piece, extremely difficult to play, supports all the confusions and errors of interpretation possible, and it is permitted to put forward that Ibsen never went as far in his tragedy quest. This article seeks to clarify how and why such a masterpiece in a modernist perspective. Without going into the discussion of the post-tragic, we try to identify what is in itself modern originality of this strange room. Corinne FRANCOIS-DENEVE, Anne Charlotte Leffler, the forgotten one, RLC LXXXIX (in French), no. 2, april-june 2015, p. 175-186. A prolific female writer belonging to the Swedish "genombrott" movement and a staunch feminist, Anne Charlotte Leffler, whose plays were even more successful than Strindberg's, slowly disappeared from Scandinavian literature anthologies. Did male critics expel her from them, as researchers in "gender studies" began to claim in the 1970s ? Or was it that her works were thought to be too old-fashioned ? Her theatre has been recently re-discovered, in Sweden as well as in France : it is high time to put again into perspective this "forgotten one" , who has still many things to say. Harri VEIVO, Cosmopolite in Crisis. Decentring Modernity and Fracturing Subjectivity in Olavi Paavolainen's Travelogues, RLC LXXXIX (in French), no. 2, april-june 2015, p. 187-203. In the 1920s and 30s, the Finnish writer Olavi Paavolainen (1903-1964) took up the task of exploring and analysing modernity in all its manifestations and in all the places where it was felt. This project focalised first on the emancipatory and joyful modernity of the années folles, then on the rising of totalitarism in Europe and, after this dysphoric turn, on Latin America, considered capable of transcending the European conflicts. Paavolainen's travelogues produce thus a decentring of modernity, while leading at the same to the crisis of the author's subjectivity, based on the European ideal of cosmopolitism. Philippe CHARDIN, Truth and Justice, a beautiful Estonian novel of education, RLC LXXXIX (in French), no. 2, april-june 2015, p. 205-217. Tammsaare's long masterpiece, written after the first world war and retracing 50 years of Estonian history, is an extraordinary and original synthesis of several different literary European genres among which in its first part a "Rural Novel" and also a novel of "Crime and Punishment", a kind of Tragedy of Original Sin in a family but there is also a strong analogy between Taamsaare's Justice and Truth and three kinds of Educational Novels : a tragi-comical pedagogical novel in Mr Maurus's College, a painful sentimental apprenticeship and above all the novel of a young man coming from his village who becomes an "Intellectual" with his devastating irony against all social and religious values, his "Unhappy Consciousness" and his half forced bad commitments in political or private life which recall other great contemporary novels by Musil, Proust, Thomas Mann, Svevo. Frédérique TOUDOIRE-SURLAPIERRE, Phaedra and Sweden : a "shift model" ?, RLC LXXXIX (in French), no. 2, april-june 2015, p. 219-230. This paper examines, from the part of the Swedish writer Per Olov Enquist, Till Fedra, terms and issues of this cultural transfer : the rewriting of the famous tragedy of Racine. Using scientific resources of imagology and ethnocritic, this paper shows the various operations of what we called a "shift model" through the deconstruction of the French language, the oedipalization of the myth, the image transfer and the movement concepts. Mickaëlle CEDERGREN - Ylva LINDBERG, Towards a renewal of the Francophone literary canon. The role of higher education in Sweden, RLC LXXXIX (in French), no. 2, april-june 2015, p. 231-243. Even though francophone literature is expanding its territory throughout the world, its status remains ambiguous on the global field and in canonization processes. The analysis is focusing on a re-evaluation of the literary canon in the academic context abroad. Various didactic demands are revealed as essential criteria for a selection divergent from the traditional canon. It is also found that Swedish universities promote both French high-status literature, extra-occidental francophone literature and prize-winning literature, which is often commercial.

Third World Tourism Research 1950-1984

Since the early fifties tourism to developing countries has dramatically increased and in many a developing country it is now a sector of vital importance. This increase has been reflected in an equally impressive rate of growth in scholarly output. Despite this, there are as yet no indexed guides providing in a single volume easy access to the rapidly expanding body of knowledge. This bibliography seeks to fill the gap. It covers a period of 35 years and comprises more than 2000 titles in English, French, German and Dutch, on tourism in the Third World and in richer countries such as Greece, Yugoslavia, Portugal and Spain. The titles are chronologically arranged according to the year of publication, and for each year in alphabetical order. To assist readers the titles are catalogued by three indexes : an author and editor index, a geographical index and a subject index.

Sturlunga Saga

"The less prepared the body of good men within the land are to act as mediators, the longer, more violent and less reconcilable will be the conflicts through which the land is plagued." The prefatory sagas of the Sturlunga compilation develop this principle by incremental repetition of themes, of disintegration, of mediation and its collapse, of flawed reconciliation ; the central work of the compilation, Sturla Thordarson's "Islendinga saga", provides the proof. The compilation as an entity is an "exemplum" calling on the leaders of 14th-Century Iceland to settle their differences amicably and avoid a return to Sturlung Age chaos.

Walter of Châtillon's Alexandreis Book 10 - A Commentary

The final and most important book of Walter of Châtillon's Alexandreis is examined as a paradigm for both the compositional techniques and the meaning of the whole poem. These techniques are shown as being reliant on the medieval arts of composition, the strategies inherited from the Biblical paraphrasts and the strict discipline of classical epic hexameter. The author shows that Walter of Châtillon is not simply a classicising epigone of Vergil, but a master poet refining contemporary epic techniques and incorporating scientific and philosophic materials into an elegant moral diatribe against arrogance.

Marseille mythique

Sous l'œil des grands photographes, c'est en noir et blanc que se révèle Marseille. Sombres ruelles, profondes comme des canyons, et grands horizons lumineux. La terrasse du bar des Amis accueille ses habitués, les venelles en escaliers retentissent des piaillements et des jeux des minots, le linge sèche aux fenêtres, un soleil du soir lance ses derniers feux sur les façades du Vieux-Port. Cent photographies de légende font revivre un Marseille oublié, en racontent les transformations, captent l'écume des jours… mais immortalisent surtout une âme singulière.     Marseille reveals itself under the watchful gaze of some of the greatest ever photographers. Their black and white stills depict both the city's dark warren of backstreets and its vast, luminous horizons. The terrace of the Bar des Amis welcoming its regulars, the sound of children playing echoes in its little alleyways and stairways, laundry drying in the windows, the last glint of evening sunlight as it streaks across the façades of the Old Port… One hundred legendary photographs relive the memory of "forgotten Marseille" by revealing how the city has changed, capturing the "foam of the days" as Boris Vian would say, and above all by immortalising its exceptional spirit.

Philosophie

Horizons of Humanity

This collection of essays represents an interdisciplinary approach to some contemporary issues in the philosophy of science and the theory of knowledge. It is also an attempt to place art in the context of human cognition in general and also to relate it to science and philosophy. Its conception is such that it accords with the view that our creativity is not separable from a humanistic orientation. Within such a humanistic framework, aiming at a stable form of peace becomes the moral responsibility of both the scientist and the philosopher.

Instruments de musique

Miniaturen. für Klarinett und Akkordeon. clarinet in Bb and accordion. Partition d'exécution.

Note by the composer : "In my youth I was a great Schumann fan, works such as Carnaval, Kreisleriana or also Papillions were (and still are ! ) among my favourite pieces. One of the things that fascinated me was their form, these short expressive pieces strung together, which belong together after all. The Miniatures are inspired by this 'old love'. They were commissioned by Klangwerkstatt Kreuzberg (Berlin) and were originally written for clarinet and accordion for the duo Nancy Laufer and Jürgen Kupke. - Iris ter Schiphorst - Instrumentation : clarinet in Bb and accordion
