Au secours, Maréchal ! L'instrumentalisation de l'humanitaire (1940-1944)

Ce livre traite principalement de cinq organisations d’aide d’urgence pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale : la Croix-Rouge française, unifiée par une loi d’août 1940 ; les Assistants du devoir patriotique, « filiale » du Parti social français issu des Croix-de-Feu du colonel de la Rocque ; le Comité ouvrier de secours immédiat, une officine collaborationniste financée principalement par l’amende d’un milliard de francs infligée aux juifs en décembre 1941 ; le Secours social de la communauté bordelaise, créé par le maire de Bordeaux Adrien Marquet afin de soustraire le secours d’urgence aux notables bordelais ; le Secours national, une immense organisation d’environ 12 000 salariés et 35 000 bénévoles en 1944, qui chapeaute l’ensemble des œuvres. Il s’agit de relater et de comprendre les relations que ces organisations entretiennent entre elles (entre coopération et conflit), avec l’État français et avec l’occupant allemand, d’interroger leur nature privée ou publique, d’analyser l’empiètement de l’action humanitaire sur l’action sociale traditionnelle menée par les œuvres et, enfin, d’expliquer les relations ambiguës entre Résistance et Collaboration dans le champ de l’action humanitaire.

Blockbuster

Quel est le lien entre un étudiant parisien en médecine, un biostatisticien munichois, un retraité londonien et un proxénète hollandais ? A priori, aucun. A un détail près : tous sont décédés, après avoir ingurgité un médicament contre les pannes d'érection. Banals accidents, effets secondaires ou meurtres déguisés ? C'est ce que Clara, étudiante en médecine et victime collatérale, aidée par un ami journaliste, est bien décidée à découvrir. Pendant que l'une s'infiltre dans le laboratoire qui développe le médicament, l'autre réussit à pénétrer la secte fondamentaliste soupçonnée d'être mêlée à ces décès. Guerres économiques, espionnage industriel, stratégies implacables, intrigues et manipulations : l'industrie pharmaceutique est tout sauf un monde tranquille...

Narratives of French Modernity

Inspired by the work of their colleague David Gascoigne, a group of scholars from the UK and France examine in this book the narrative strategies of some of the most interesting and important French writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Stretching chronologically from 1905 to 2005, the volume examines a wide variety of prose genres, from pornography to Bildungsroman to magic realism, as well as poetry. Michel Tournier figures in several of the contributions, emerging as something of a touchstone for many of the thematic preoccupations that are common throughout the period : values and authority, self and other, identity, spirituality, migration and exile, sexuality, the body, violence and war, and language. The authors also examine the flourishing of intertextuality, as well as the use of traditional forms, such as mythical structures and the ‘robinsonade', to undermine authoritative ‘métarécits'. Probing these themes and forms, and their metamorphoses across 100 years, the essays demonstrate a striking degree of continuity, linking writers as different as Apollinaire and Houellebecq or Valéry and Fleutiaux, and highlight the difficulty of dividing the period neatly into chronologically ordered categories labelled ‘modern' or ‘postmodern'.

Geometric Design and Ornament. 374 Copyright-free Designs for Artists and Craftsmen

Combining the best elements of both geometric and Russian ornament, here are 374 of the infinite number of geometric designs that can be formed from a simple combination of lines with curves, selected from the work of the Russian designer Y. Chernikov. The designs show dozens of different types of ornament and their intricate combinations and subdivisions: continuous and ribbon-like bands, enclosed spaces (panels), and unlimited flat patterns; networks, band motifs, diaper patterns; sectors, polygons and stars; squares and their subdivisions; octagons, triangles and hexagons; rhomboids and trapezoids; the circle and its subdivisions; etc. Designs range from simple black-and-white flat ornamentation to complex interweavings and tube-like maze figures. Some of the more important designs appear in full-page illustrations, while others are grouped together to show variations on a single element. The peculiarly Russian influence on these designs is everywhere apparent-motifs stemming from the combination of primitive Russian folklore (seen in those delightful birds, fantastic animals and skirted figures found even today in Russian folk art) and the Byzantine style with the Christian influence brought to Russia by the Tartars between 1237 and 1480. Others sec modern mathematics and its extension into op-art as the major inspiration of Chernikov's work, but whatever the source, the uses in today's art are almost limitless. Without further payment, permission or acknowledgment, you may use the designs in such media as textiles, crewel-work and needlework patterns, ornamental tiles, magazine, book and record cover art, greeting cards, and commercial packaging. The illustrations can serve equally well as a source of inspiration to the fine artist.

Place of the Sacred

There has been a heated international debate over Salman Rushdie's book The Satanic Verses ever since its publication in 1988. The present work examines the ways in which this affair has developed. From the beginning, one can find strong rhetorical emphases ; these are shown to argue for maintenance of meaningful boundaries. The thesis of Kuortti's book is that on each side of the debate, people use similar language to argue for the sanctity of their convictions. This is evident especially in the opposition between the arguments for the sacrality of Islam and literature. In the international exchange, how could we then find more respectful ways of acknowledging that we are not that dissimilar from each other ?

Love and Sexuality

The papers collected in this volume are selected from the proceedings of the Love and Sexuality conference held at the University of Leeds in 2002. They bring together a cross-section of new directions in the study of love and sexuality currently being explored in French Studies. The central focus of the collection is the representation of love, desire, erotica and sexuality in the couple, in particular in relation to depictions of women. The contributions share a common concern with problematising issues of love and sexuality across various disciplines, focusing on literary texts, cinema, gender studies, theatre studies, history, visual iconography and cultural studies, and ranging from the sixteenth century to the present day.

Metamorphosis of the Administrative Welfare State

The book's conceptual framework is built upon an analysis of different varieties of rationality. A conception of political rationality is elaborated. First, orientations of contemporary administrative theory and research are analysed from the point of view of that rationality. Next, the same viewpoint is applied to an analysis of an entity called the 'administrative welfare state'. This concept is used to cover the typical institutional shape of the leading highly developed countries until the 1980s. The strengths and the weaknesses of the contemporary 'new public management' reforms are also evaluated from the point of view of political rationality. Finally, steps are taken to define elements of actual reform programmes in the terms of the political rationality.

The Philosophical Background to Friedrich Schiller's Aesthetics of Living Form

Schiller defined the object of beauty as "living form." He explicitly related his thesis to a rationalistic aesthetics of form and to an empiricistic aesthetics of life. First the problem of aesthetic theorizing is treated. In the light of this discussion, respectively, the aesthetics of life, form, and living form are analyzed. First the respective ontological universe of each aesthetic theory is developed, then the aesthetic universe in terms of ontological commitments, and finally the specific interpretation of beauty is outlined.

Holy Hoaxes. A Beautiful Deception

Ce livre fascinant raconte l'histoire de la construction de la collection de faux et de contrefaçons de manuscrits enluminés appartenant à William M. Voelkle. A travers des essais approfondis et de belles illustrations, Voelkle retrace l'histoire de près de soixante-dix faux et contrefaçons. The book takes the reader on a journey that sheds light on the nature and detection of forgery of manuscript illumination. An engaging introduction by Christopher de Hamel raises tantalizing questions that touch on the very meaning of authenticity and our continuing fascination with forgery. Scientific analysis of pigments, the identification of sources, and the scrutiny of the materials all come into play in the unfolding story of the collection. An illustrated catalogue presents the group of nearly seventy fakes and forgeries that display astonishing breadth. They include not only the Spanish Forger and other Western European miniatures by Ernesto Sprega, Caleb William Wing, and Germano Prosdocimi, and others, but fascinating examples from the Christian East, from Ethiopia, from Mexico, and from Persia and India. Published here in its entirety for the first time, the Voelkle Collection is the only comprehensive one of fakes and forgeries of manuscript painting in private hands. Voelkle's fifty-year career at the Morgan Library & Museum was inextricably interwoven with the construction of the collection, which is detailed in the foreword. The personal narrative reveals the author as a collector and a scholar. As an enthusiastic collector, he pursues examples of forgery, marveling at the range of skills of deception. As a scholar, he disentangles the sources that served forgers and the chains of provenance that sometimes led to their exposure. Included also in the book is a comprehensive list of William M. Voelkle's publications.

The Second Story of Creation (Gen 2:4-3:24)

The two creation stories in Genesis 1-3 have been subject of intense study since the beginning of critical research on the Pentateuch in the eighteenth century. Even today, they continue to vex the biblical commentators. This work attempts to study one of these creation stories, namely the Eden Story narrated in Gen 2 : 4-3 : 24. This story graphically describes the first couple's installation in the Garden of Eden and their expulsion from it. These two themes have prompted some scholars to consider this story as a summary of Israel's history until the tragedy of exile and a prologue to the literary composition commonly called Enneateuch (Genesis - 2 Kings). Such a hypothesis is based on the premise that both Eden story and Israel's history have the same end : expulsion. The reason for such an end in both is disobedience. The study takes up this hypothesis and examines its viability. Furthermore, this work attempts to bring out the biblical message of this story. Gen 2-3 is an expression of Israel's faith resulting from its history with Yahweh and from its encounter with the surrounding cultures, and it intends to articulate a religious and anthropological identity for Israel.

SATELLITES OF THE OUTER PLANETS. Worlds in their own right, Second Edition

"Rothery does an excellent job of synthesizing the research inspired by the Voyager missions into a coherent description of outer solar system geology." -Jonathan I. Lunine, Sky & Telescope "A highly readable, respectably accurate and complete nontechnical summary of planetary satellites for general and scientific audiences." -Paul M. Schenk, Icarus "Rothery brings these satellites to life." -David Hughes, New Scientist. "The depth and authority of the treatment of physical geological processes makes this a good introduction to the outer satellites for undergraduate students, while the clarity of the text ensures that things do not become too complicated for less expert readers." -Lionel Wilson, Times Higher Eduation Supplement. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition of this acclaimed geological guide to the outer solar system includes results and close-up color and black-and-white images from both the 1995-1999 Galileo mission to Jupiter and the Voyager space probe. Rothery explains the geological aspects of the major satellites of the outer planets, from Jupiter to Neptune and the Pluto-Charon system. In particular he shows how tectonic and volcanic processes, driven by heat from within, have shaped the rigid outer layers of these worlds. Rothery also discusses the similarities and differences among them and the ways in which they resemble Earth-like planets.

Jorge Semprún

Jorge Semprún is a leading writer from the first generation of Spanish Civil War exiles, yet studies of his work have often focused solely on his literary testimony to the concentration camps and his political activities. Although Semprún's work derives from his incarceration in Buchenwald and his expulsion from the Spanish Communist Party in 1964, limiting the discussion of his works to the autobiographical details or to the realm of Holocaust studies is reductive. The responses by many influential writers to his recent death highlight that the significance of Semprún's work goes beyond the testimony of historical events. His self-identification as a Spanish exile has often been neglected and there is no comprehensive study of his works available in English. This book provides a global view of his oeuvre and extends literary analysis to texts that have received little critical attention. The author investigates the role played by memory in some of Semprún's works, drawing on current debates in the field of memory studies. A detailed analysis of these works allows related concepts, such as exile and nostalgia, the Holocaust, the interplay between memory and writing, politics and collective memory, and postmemory and identity, to be examined and discussed.

Leviticus

Whereas many books in this field deal with individual aspects or texts of the study of family laws, Leviticus : The Priestly Laws and Prohibitions from the Perspective of Ancient Near East and Africa examines extensively biblical texts, ancient Near Eastern text, and oral traditions from Africa. Thus, three different cultures converge : the world of the Hebrew Bible, the world of the ancient Near East, and the world of Africa. This volume examines in detail the history of the development of ancient laws in general and family laws in particular, especially the laws relating to marriages between close relatives. Furthermore, Johnson M. Kimuhu looks at prohibitions and taboos in Africa and the problems they pose with regard to the interpretation and translation of difficult biblical concepts into African languages. In that sense, Kimuhu provides an example of how to contextualize or integrate African traditions into the study of biblical Hebrew, and he also offers insights into the current debate on the study of kinship from the point of view of social/cultural anthropology and the Hebrew Bible legal system. Teachers, students, and researchers in biblical studies, ancient Near Eastern studies, African traditions, and social/cultural anthropology will find this book helpful in their quest to understand family laws, prohibitions, and taboos.

Organizing after Crisis. The Challenge of Learning

How do actors organize after crisis ? Do they "simply" return to normal ? The post-crisis phase is anything but a linear process. Actors and their practices may be transformed by learning from crises and by implementing the lessons. In this volume, 19 contributors from 7 countries analyse how learning happens after crisis in a dynamic political environment where framings, strategies, discourses, interests and resources interact. Exploring various policy sectors, they ask whether and in what ways organizations in charge of crisis management perform well. Where political responsibility is located ? What changes do lessons trigger at political, organizational and individual levels ? The book answers these questions by addressing issues like blame and responsibility but also the influence of communication, social dynamics and the institutional environment.

Hardy's Wessex. The landscapes that inspired a writer

This fascinating book tells the story of Thomas Hardy's Wessex. Accompanying a multi-venue exhibition, it explores Hardy's life and work. Internationally-acclaimed writer Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) is best known for his evocative depictions of the West Country landscape and its people, a region that he called 'Wessex'. What is less well-known is that this landscape also inspired him in many other aspects of his life, from campaigning for animal welfare to questioning the way society viewed women. This publication accompanies a blockbuster, multi-venue exhibition of the largest collection of Thomas Hardy memorabilia ever to be displayed at once. Hardy was born in the West Country, a few years after Queen Victoria came to the throne, and spent most of the rest of his life among its landscapes and people. When he turned writer, these landscapes and people re-emerged as his 'partly-real, partlydream country' of Wessex, in novels like Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd and Jude the Obscure. 'Hardy's Wessex' now conjures up a range of mental images : from raging seas on the coast to haunting ancient monuments, Victorian towns packed with life to peaceful hillsides grazed by sheep. However, through Hardy's 87-year life span, the West Country changed dramatically. Ideas of the role of women, humans' responsibility to animals, the realities of war, love and courtship, superstition, social structure, religion and how people related to the world around them altered fundamentally. Through his stories and campaigning, Hardy was keen to show not only the rural idyll, but also the tensions and diffi culties that lay beneath these views. These dramatic landscapes were the lens through which Hardy presented his worldview to his readership. From the tragedy of a woman saying farewell to her sailorlover on the end of Portland Bill, to a shepherd losing his flock and facing ultimate ruin on the chalky hills. The landscapes shape his characters, whose stories in turn convey his messages of social change to his readers. This publication will explore the impact that Wessex had on Hardy's works, and how living there shaped his views on the often divisive social issues of the period. Uniting beautiful landscape imagery with a selection of personal items from Hardy's life, this book will show you the man behind the literature.

Exploration de l'entre-corps. Imaginaire et émotions

Si l'intercorporéité nous sollicite aujourd'hui, c'est parce que, au lieu d'envisager, comme on le fait trop souvent, le corps des anatomistes, lares extenso de Descartes, il est question d'observer ce qui se passe (ce qui se trame) entre les corps—de sorte que le corps n'étant plus un objet circonscrit, mais une chose évanescente, une " chair " invisible, une chair spacieuse (B. Noël) qui interfère avec les autres corps, c'est l'organisme holistique des corps qui nous retiendra. C'est une aire, un volume, une sphère d'interactions que nous scruterons, davantage qu'un objet positif, enclos dans les limites de la peau, puisque, dans le contexte de l'intercorporéité, il n'a désormais plus de frontières. Cette anthropologie invisible des corps, dans leurs interactions lors de nos activités esthétiques, artistiques, éducatives, spirituelles, qui s'enracine dans l'humus imaginaire d'Anthropos, nous met au défi d'inventer une autre méthodologie de la recherche. En effet, c'est dans un polylogue entre les disciplines qui observent ce "champ d'énergie" que naîtront peut-être les prolégomènes d'une science de l'homme, saisi dans ses réseaux d'influence, ses interactions inédites, comme le ferait un chorégraphe - ouvrant ainsi sur une épistémologie post-positiviste, où l'art devient un partenaire épistémologique de premier ordre.

Littératures croisées : la langue de l'autre

Cet ouvrage collectif, publié par le laboratoire de recherche CERCLE, vise à étudier, sur un vaste corpus franco-russe du XXe et du XXIe siècles, les présences et représentations des respectives langues autres, avant tout dans la fiction littéraire, mais aussi dans le genre "frictionnel" de la littérature de voyage. Les rapports culturels et littéraires entre la Russie et la France, aussi intenses que complexes, constituent un objet de choix pour une étude comparatiste. D'un point de vue français, la Russie fait traditionnellement fonction de l'un de ces "autres" co-constitutifs de sa propre identité : des discours sur la Russie (tsariste, soviétique, contemporaine), se dégage une image à l'envers de la France. Du côté russe, la France apparaît de même comme un "autre" privilégié : cas paradigmatique, donc, d'auto-/hétéro-images, de langues et de littératures croisées. Réunissant les contributions des chercheurs de plusieurs universités françaises et étrangères, ce volume explore surtout les pistes de réflexion suivantes : langue, littérature, identité; écritures en exil, écritures de l'exil ; langue, littérature, idéologie ; théorie et imaginaire littéraire de l'(auto-)traduction et de l'(in-)traduisible ; stratégies textuelles à l'oeuvre dans la confrontation avec la langue de l'autre ainsi que le discours métalittéraire correspondant - autant de facettes et de fragments divers d'un polylogue interculturel qui, en ce début du XXIe siècle, s'avère toujours fort vivant et varié.

A History of Arcadia in Art and Literature: Volume II. Later Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassicism

Longtemps attendu et extrêmement bien accueilli, A History of Arcadia de Paul Holberton constitue l'examen approfondi et minutieux d'un grand nombre de textes originaux de poésie pastorale classique des époques moderne et contemporaine, de littérature et de théâtre en grec ancien, en latin, en italien, en français, en espagnol, en portugais, en néerlandais, en allemand et en anglais et d'un large éventail d'images prenant fin juste avant 1800. L'ouvrage analyse le développement de la pastorale comme moyen de représentation du bonheur humain sur Terre à travers la cour réciproque entre un garçon et une fille, et leurs sentiments auxquels la pastorale de l'époque donne voix. This tremendous book is an iconographic study of Renaissance and Baroque pastoral and related subject matter, with an important chapter on the 18th century, both in the visual arts, where pastoral is very poorly understood, and in words and performance, about which many false preconceptions prevail. The study begins with Virgil's use of Theocritus and an analysis of what basis Virgil provided for Renaissance pastoral and what, by contrast, stemmed from the medieval pastourelle. Pastoral developed notably in the Venetian High Renaissance. Its texts incorporated Petrarchist and Neoplatonic ideas of love, of which this book charts the development and evolution with unprecedented precision, considering also the female nude in art. There is a novel and polemical discussion of the development of landscape subjects in art, from Giorgione to Claude. The contributions of the most influential or representative authors - Petrarch, Sannazaro, Montemayor, Tasso, Guarino, Lope de Vega, Cervantes, Honoré d'Urfé, Cornelis de Hooft, Shakespeare and lastly Salomon Gessner - are considered beside many interesting more minor ones - Arsocchi, Bernardim Ribeiro, Clément Marot, Cieco d'Adria, John Fletcher, Fontenelle - and the verses of madrigals. There is a chapter on 'Being Rural' - what we can say about the reality of life in the country in the early modern period. There is a chapter on 'Et in Arcadia Ego' that introduces new evidence for the dating of Poussin's famous work by reference to a neglected work by Sébastien Bourdon in Yale ; another on a pastoral composition by Rubens that has not been considered as such. There is an important and bold discussion of self-projection ('metachronic' representation) by monarchs and courtiers across Europe in the 17th century, both within pastoral and without, which illuminates profound differences between Protestant and Catholic culture. Coming from the study of earlier periods, the author is able to throw new light on the Rococo - figures such as John Gay, Watteau, Gessner and Gainsborough - and to explain the termination of pastoral writing and art with the embrace of modernity in form and means of expression. All texts are given in the original language and all translated into English, while the visuals are beautifully reproduced : the book is also an anthology.

Toute une vie d'ange. Avec 2 CD-ROM

ANGE fête ses cinquante ans. Christian Décamps, à la barre depuis le premier jour, confie sa vie d'Ange à Jean-Noël Coghe, soit un demi-siècle de rock progressif... Souvenirs, anecdotes, mises au point, coups de gueule, vindicte et toujours cette passion qui fait d'Ange un groupe intemporel ! Soit une cinquantaine d'albums, six disques d'or, quelques millions de ventes, des milliers de concerts, un Brel plébiscité, un Emile, maréchal ferrant franc-comtois, immortalisé, le mépris du métier parisien et une réelle influence sur Steven Wilson ! Cela s'étale sur deux périodes distinctes de vingt-cinq ans. Débridée, d'abord, avec la participation de vingt-cinq compagnons de route, au-delà du délire. Stabilisée ensuite avec la complicité de cinq " fils " et une " fille " que soutiennent des milliers d'Imbibés, public fidèle et complice... Heureux ! Christian Décamps, musicien, auteur, acteur, poète, saltimbanque, boucanier, la septantaine venue, serein, fourmille de projets. L'Ancien, toujours un pied dans la marge, vous livre, à coeur ouvert, ses ressentis, sa vie d'Ange... Les deux CD, images sonores du livre, restituent des moments forts et inédits recueillis au fil du temps...
