The Mighty Millborough : Les choses de la vie
Ici-bas, à Sassafras County, les choses suivent sereinement leur cours. La salsepareille fleurit en bouquets épineux et parfumés et le rapide pour Green Valley arrive toujours à l'heure. Déambulation bucolique dans un Midwest idéalisé aux graphismes post-Crumbiens étincelants, Les choses de la vie explore les questions existentielles avec un humour un brin désespéré Ici-bas, à Sassafras County, les choses suivent sereinement leur cours. Dans les hautes branches, les cardinaux rouges chantent, la salsepareille fleurit en bouquets épineux et parfumés, et le rapide pour Green Valley arrive toujours à l'heure. Souhaitant profiter de l'allégresse ambiante, Millborough coiffe son chapeau, corrige dans le miroir l'angle du noeud papillon à sa chemise, sort de la maison et, d'un pas décidé, entreprend l'ascension de la Grande Question Existentielle. Déambulation bucolique dans un Midwest idéalisé, aux graphismes post-Crumbiens étincelants, Les choses de la vie marque le lecteur tant par son acuité aux questions existentielles que par son humour un brin désespéré. Christoph Mueller joue également la carte expérimentale, usant du format "strip' tout en longueur pour questionner les possibilités du langage de la bande dessinée, use d'anamorphoses, de séquences muettes, de plans multiples et aventureux et d'ellipses inter-strips pour créer un rythme en accord avec l'ambiance du récit. Un exercice à la fois brillant et passionnant. "Peu de dessinateurs, européens ou américains, sont parvenus à emboîter le pas à l'incandescent Robert Crumb, à assimiler son influence avec autant de talent, d'autocritique et de sensibilité, et surtout - qualité la plus importante - avec une si généreuse chaleur. Christoph Mueller est de ceux-là. ' - Chris Ware

Presque une nuit d'été
Un premier roman plein de fraîcheur où une jeune photographe cherche à saisir les beautés éphémères du quotidien. Elle suit un inconnu qui rentre chez lui avec ses courses, discute dans un bus avec un employé noctambule, observe une mère portant son bébé sur le dos… Et, surtout, elle fait la rencontre d'une vieille dame énigmatique et de l'insaisissable Joh. Au fil de ses promenades, notre héroïne convoque des souvenirs personnels, recueille des histoires intimes, pleines d'humanité et de courage, mais aussi des récits plus extravagants ou merveilleux. On suivra ainsi les aventures d'un jeune expatrié dans les bas-fonds d'une ville vietnamienne, le combat d'Ibtissem pour échapper à l'emprise de sa famille, le tragique destin de Tsukuyomi, dieu de la Lune banni du royaume céleste, ou encore les errances du fantôme de Yoru à la recherche de sa sœur perdue…

Poèmes
Qu'un poète au destin aussi tragique que celui de Li He (791-817) ait eu pour troisième nom Li Changji ("Infaillible Bon Augure"), voilà qui tient de la gageure. Pourtant les meilleurs auspices semblaient réunis : une bonne famille - le poète descend du clan impérial - et un vrai talent - le célèbre lettré Han Yu, qui deviendra ministre, lui accorde son appui après avoir admiré ses poèmes. Son destin s'éclaire-t-il alors ? Non, puisqu'on lui refuse jusqu'au droit de se présenter au concours de "lettré avancé" pour des raisons onomastiques. Il obtient à grand-peine un poste subalterne au Bureau des Rites, insuffisant pour les nourrir, lui, sa mère et son jeune frère. De Changgu, sa ville natale au Henan, à Chang'an, la capitale, il promène son tragique destin. L'homme inquiète par sa silhouette squelettique, ses cheveux blancs, ses sourcils d'un seul tenant et ses ongles démesurés. Cultive-t-il son air de fantôme (les Chinois le nomment "poète fantôme" ou "fantôme parmi les poètes"), on ne sait, mais ce n'est pas étonnant que les anthologies l'aient boudé et que les lecteurs l'aient fui. Trop de malheur ! Il ne se nomme guère dans ses vers, mais tout parle de lui, tout est lui : ministre évincé, favorite oubliée, palais déserté... jusqu'à l'armoise qui l'envahit. Peut-on encore ignorer quel génie fut Li He ? Donnons-lui auprès des Li Bo et Du Fu la place qu'il mérite.

Experiencing Same-Sex Marriage
This book provides an understanding of how the legal and cultural debates and advances and limitations on same-sex marriage are experienced by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) people, same-sex couples, and their social networks. Using data collected from hundreds of GLBT people, same-sex couples, and their social networks over the past decade, the book examines the following topics : same-sex marriages' impact on how GLBT individuals view their relationships and community ; same-sex couples' decision making regarding whether to marry or not ; the interactions between same-sex couples and members of their families-of-origin regarding same-sex marriage ; the same-sex marriage experiences of understudied members of the GLBT community ; and the interactions between same-sex couples and members of their social networks in locations with restrictions against legally recognized same-sex marriage. These findings are examined through the lens of the social scientific study of relationships. They are based on a communication studies perspective on personal relationships, and therefore emphasize communication concepts and theories relevant to the understanding of same-sex marriage experiences.

The Structure of Political Communication in the United Kingdom, the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany
Political Communication in The United Kingdom, the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany differs in terms of what the peoples expect to take issue with, how they are prepared to talk about them, which choices they can make to solve problems and, finally, whom or which organizations they delegate to resolve them. This comparative media study of The Economist, Time and Der Spiegel attempts to extract the differences in politics of the three societies.

J'ai choisi de me battre, j'ai choisi de guérir. Entretiens
Un matin comme les autres, Claude Pinault, un entrepreneur, sportif, en pleine forme, est atteint d’étranges fourmillements. Quarante-huit heures plus tard, il se retrouve tétraplégique. C’est le syndrome de Guillain-Barré. Une maladie auto-immune où le corps devient son propre ennemi. La violence du diagnostic, fatal et irréversible, est un choc : "Quand il n’y a plus de jus, il n’y a plus de jus. Vous ne remarcherez plus", lui annonce un médecin. Un diagnostic que Claude Pinault refuse catégoriquement : non, il remarchera ! C’est sur cet incroyable défi qu’il revient dans ce livre d’entretien avec Marie de Hennezel. Seul, Claude Pinault a trouvé instinctivement ce qu’il appelle "les clés de son corps" pour gérer des douleurs insupportables et, petit à petit, sortir son corps d’un sarcophage terrifiant. Avec le recul de la guérison, il révèle ici tout ce qu’il a développé parallèlement à ses traitements médicaux, pour renverser l’irréversible : l’optimisme, l’humour, la pensée positive, la détermination… Toutes qualités que l’on retrouve dans des techniques de méditation, de visualisation positive par exemple et qui ont fait leurs preuves. Depuis longtemps, aux Etats-Unis, les chercheurs s’intéressent aux liens corps-esprit.

Autodidacts. From Van Gogh to Pirosmani, 1e édition
The symposium will focus on two examples of autodidacts from the nineteenth century, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) and Niko Pirosmani (1862-1918), as well as on the issues surrounding this notion today. The model of the autodidact appears as a figure that sheds light on our value systems and our patterns of recognition and learning in a world where different conceptions of culture coexist. Over two days, art historians, critics, writers, artists and teachers will gather to discuss autodidacticism through multiple perspectives. The term "autodidact" is generally used to describe someone who has acquired knowledge or skills through their own reading, observations and practice - an approach that is radically different from academic study in the arts, for example, that is validated by institutions. Yet what can we possibly learn if we sacrifice brilliant cultural values on the altar of all- round relativism, where everything is equally valid ? Faced with this relativism, what does one make of the canonical in a globalised and fragmented world ? What to make of an unlearning that cripples the authority of the keepers of knowledge ? These different "cultures of knowledge" presuppose diverse geopolitical realities that are worth interrogating.

Everyday Men
This study is about everyday men. They are approached through a unique marriage of biblical theology and empirical research which gives birth to a missionary challenge. Part One attempts to build a theological foundation for looking at people from the aspect of belief and unbelief. It sees this distinction as a crucial theme in the biblical material which remains relevant to men everywhere. The author discovers five elements of Christian belief in the biblical material while unbelief spans the five elements by its void, denial, or choice of an alternative. Part Two starts with a random sample, in-depth interview of fifty men in a "working-class" area of Birmingham, England. The interviews attempt to discover the nature and saliency of the men's belief and unbelief in the Christian faith. The analysis stresses the qualitative response with the emphasis on listening to the men describe their lives, values, beliefs, and lack of beliefs in their own words. The findings are also compared to other related studies, prompting some conclusions regarding the meaning of these findings. The author attempts to bring the biblical material to bear on the findings about ordinary people and asks whether they can be described as believers or unbelievers. From this starting point, it becomes obvious that the scope of unbelief is very broad. Part Three takes the understanding of God's Word and men's words and moves toward a missiological goal of approaching unbelievers with a gospel for today. It sees both the content and context of the gospel as important. The cultural problem is briefly considered and specific approaches are suggested in relation to the climate of unbelief in "working-class" English culture.

The Small Catechism. Luther's Little Instruction Book
This annotated edition of ""Martin Luther's Small Catechism"" includes an extra appendix (in addition to the two already included in the original book) which provides an interesting overview of : Martin Luther's peasant roots, his education in pre-law, and how he was diverted from a law career to that of a monk-turned-professor and eventually, Protestant reformer, The role of the printing press in spreading the ""95 Theses"" quickly over Europe, catapulting Martin Luther to near-instant prominence in the religious dialogue of his day, The story of how Martin Luther colluded with a fishmonger to smuggle his future wife and her friends away from a convent, and Martin Luther's impact on the Protestant Reformation as well as modern religious thought. Martin Luther wrote the small catechism as an easy teaching tool for both individuals and families. Though penned close to five centuries ago, Luther's brief, clear summary of the essentials of Christian faith still ring true today. Topics covered include the Ten Commandments, the ""Creed"", the Lord's Prayer, and the sacraments of baptism and the altar. Ideas and instructions are also included for morning and evening devotions and giving thanks at mealtime. This little catechism, still widely used within the Lutheran Church, has gems of truth that many Christians will find to be both instructive and inspirational--regardless of denomination. Though few in words, it provides a wonderful explanation that has helped many to both learn the basics of Christian doctrine and apply them in a practical way to their lives.

LA VIERGE ET LE GITAN : THE VIRGIN AND THE GIPSY
When the vicar's wife went off with a young and penniless man the scandal knew no bounds. Her two little girls were only seven and nine years old respectively. And the vicar was such a good husband. True, his hair was grey. But his moustache was dark, he was handsome, and still full of furtive passion for his unrestrained and beautiful wife. Why did she go ? Why did she burst away with such an éclat of revulsion, like a touch of madness ? Nobody gave any answer. Only the pious said she was a bad woman. While some of the good women kept silent. They knew. The two little girls never knew. Wounded, they decided that it was because their mother found them negligible. The ill wind that blows nobody any good swept away the vicarage family on its blast. Then lo and behold ! the vicar, who was somewhat distinguished as an essayist and a controversialist, and whose case had aroused sympathy among the bookish men, received the living of Papplewick. The Lord had tempered the wind of misfortune with a rectorate in the north country. [...] "Lorsque la femme du pasteur s'enfuit avec un jeune homme sans le sou, le scandale ne connut pas de bornes. Ses deux fillettes n'avaient que sept et neuf ans respectivement. Et le pasteur était un si bon mari. Certes, il avait les cheveux gris, mais sa moustache était restée noire, il était bel homme et brûlait encore d'une passion furtive pour sa belle épouse immodeste. Pourquoi était-elle partie ? Pourquoi s'était-elle arrachée à lui, dans un tel éclat de dégoût, comme un grain de folie ? Personne n'apporta de réponse. Seules, les dévotes dirent que c'était une mauvaise femme. Cependant que certaines femmes de bien gardaient le silence. Elles comprenaient, elles. Les deux fillettes ne comprirent jamais. Blessées, elles jugèrent que c'était parce que leur mère les tenait pour quantité négligeable. Le vent du malheur qui est censé être bon à quelque chose balaya de son souffle les habitants de la cure. Puis, miracle, le pasteur, qui avait une certaine éminence comme essayiste et polémiste, et dont la situation avait su émouvoir certains intellectuels, fut nommé à la paroisse de Papplewick. Le Seigneur avait adouci l'ouragan du malheur par un bénéfice de recteur dans le nord du pays. " [...]

La belle vie de Théo
Théo, douze ans, est fan de BD, dont celles des aventures de Bob Carter. Son petit monde : sa famille, dans laquelle on aime rire même si tout n'est pas simple avec son frère et ses soeurs, mais aussi la musique avec son violoncelle et l'école, où il retrouve son ami et complice, Ludo. Mais voilà que pris d'amitié pour Louis, un nouveau camarade, Théo découvre la difficulté d'avoir deux amis qui ne s'apprécient guère. Heureusement, l'arrivée d'une nouvelle élève, qu'il trouve très jolie et dont le sourire est tout simplement le soleil, va transporter Théo sur des nuages. "Grande amatrice de littérature pour la jeunesse, j'aime la variété qu'elle présente, du récit de vie à l'aventure la plus folle, de l'imaginaire au témoignage, du virtuel à la biographie. En mettant en scène un garçon dont la vie ressemble à celle de tout le monde, c'est un clin d'oeil complice que je souhaite adresser aux enfants et, pourquoi pas, à leurs parents. Ma démarche cherche à mettre en valeur, par le biais d'une langue ludique, le quotidien, avec ses plaisirs, ses colères, ses contrariétés et ses merveilleuses rencontres. J'aime poser sur les événements de la vie un regard humoristique, qui dédramatise et rend attachantes certaines émotions que l'on a tendance à croire indésirables."

Shakespeare's Reception in 18th Century Italy
The history of Shakespeare's reception in 18th century Italy is scanty and fragmentary. The present study attempts to join the scattered fragments of the mosaic together and to interpret the resulting picture in the light of current theories of comparative literature. Hamlet has been chosen as an exemplary case in Shakespearian production because it is associated with the very first milestones in Shakespeare's introduction into the Italian literary system. Hamlet also exemplifies on the one hand Italy's cultural indebtedness to France in the field of Shakespearian translation (the first Italian staging of a Shakespearian play was a Hamlet translated from Ducis' adaptation), and, on the other, the need for Northern European literary works to undergo profound changes before they could be assimilated in Italy. The process of Shakespeares's reception in 18th century Italy was made even more tortuous by a missed opportunity, again concerning Hamlet. The first complete Italian translation of the play by Alessandro Verri has never to this day been staged or published ; its impact on the development of Italian literature was only indirect through its influence on Verri's own creative works, which finally contributed to the birth of the Italian Romantic movement.

Frank Auerbach. The Charcoal Heads
Accompanying an exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery, London, Frank Auerbach : The Charcoal Heads presents a remarkable series of hauntingly beautiful largescale drawings by the artist. The catalogue includes a new piece of writing on one of the drawings from critically acclaimed novelist Colm Tóibín. This catalogue explores one of Frank Auerbach's most remarkable bodies of work - a series of large-scale portrait heads made in charcoal, produced during his early years as a young artist in postwar London. Auerbach (b. 1931) spent months on each drawing, working and reworking them during numerous sessions with his sitters. This prolonged and vigorous process of creation is evident in the finished drawings, which are richly textured and layered. Auerbach would sometimes even break through the paper and patch it up before carrying on. His heads thus emerge from the darkness of the charcoal with burning vitality, born of an artistic as well as a physical struggle with the medium. The process of repeated creation and destruction, of which these images bear the visible scars, speaks profoundly of their times, as people rebuilt their lives after the ruination and upending of the war. The exhibition will be the first time Auerbach's extraordinary drawings, made in the 1950s and early 1960s, have been brought together as a comprehensive group. They will be shown together with a selection of paintings he made of the same sitters ; for the artist, painting and drawing have always been deeply entwined. The accompanying catalogue - by Deputy Head of The Courtauld Gallery, Barnaby Wright, and with an essay by one of the greatest contemporary voices in the English language, Colm Tóibín - is the first publication to explore in depth this magnificent series. Tóibín spent several hours one afternoon in front of Auerbach's Self-Portrait (1958), which features on the front cover of the book, looking closely and taking notes. His essay is an account of his experience and offers new insights into the work and the nature of self-portaiture.

How Judaism reads the Torah, III
Writing with Scripture, the ancient sages of Judaism made use of Scripture by making Scripture their own, and making themselves into the possession and instrument of Scripture as well, a reciprocal process in which both were changed, each transformed into the likeness and image of the other. This they did by effecting their own selections, shaping a distinctive idiom of discourse, all the while citing, responding to, reflecting upon, Scripture's own words in Scripture's own context and for Scripture's own purpose : the here and now of eternal truth. And the rabbis of the first six centuries A.D. through the compilation presented here not only wrote with Scripture, but set forth a statement that was meant to be coherent and proportioned, well-crafted and well-composed. Since the statement concerned the distinctively-theological question of God's and Israel's relationship with one another, we must classify the writing as theological and find out how, in the compilation before us, their theological structure accomplished the authorship's goals. This anthology aims at doing just that. It presents a complete account of how the classical Midrash-text treat a theme of urgent interest to the world today : how Judaism writes with Scripture about the issues of religion that confront all the faithful.

ORIENTED MATROIDS. Second Edition
Oriented matroids are a very natural mathematical concept which prescrits itself in many different guises and which has connections and applications to many different areas. These include discrete and computational geometry, combinatorics, convexity, topology, algebraic geometry, operations research, computer science and theoretical chemistry. This is the first comprehensive, accessible account of the subject. It is intended for a diverse audience: graduate students who wish to learn the subject from scratch, researchers in the various fields of application who want to concentrate on certain aspects of the theory; specialists who need a thorough reference work; and others at points in between. A list of exercises and open problems ends each chapter.
For the second edition, the authors have expanded the bibliography greatly to ensure that it remains comprehensive and
up-to-date, and they have also added an appendix surveying research since the work was first published.

Defaced! Money, Conflict, Protest
This fully illustrated catalogue is the first of its kind to examine the relationship between money, power, resistance and dissent. It accompanies major exhibitions at The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. War, revolution and protest are defining themes in all periods of world history, shaping national identities and influencing material and visual culture in myriad ways. The ubiquity of money makes it a powerful vehicle for diseminating the messages of the state to the public, but the symbolic and nationalistic iconography of currency could also be subverted or mutilated in powerful acts of defiance, rebellion and propaganda. Beginning in Britain in the wake of the American and French Revolutions, the exhibition explores the political and social tensions present in society, and communicated through the production or defacement of money, over the past 200 years. It contrasts the use of money by the radicals of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, such as Thomas Spence, and the Suffragette movement, with the money produced by European empires as they scrambled to dominate the rest of the world. The currency histories of the two World Wars reveal the subversion of the very nature of what money is, and highlight the role of money as the tool of occupation, imprisonment, resistance and remembrance. The coins countermarked during the Troubles in Northern Ireland hint at the polarised nature of political discourse and sectarian violence. The exhibition culminates with the work of contemporary artists and activists who use money to highlight the challenges of the modern world, both locally and globally - as a canvas, as a raw material, or as a powerful means of communication. From a unique coin commemorating the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 to a Syrian banknote refashioned to raise awareness of the refugee crisis, this publication showcases many newly acquired objects from the Fitzwilliam Museum collection, alongside materials from the Archive of Modern Conflict. These objects are enhanced by a number of important loans from museums and private collections, including the cannon used at the Battle of Mafeking, an exploded transit van and contemporary art works that take money, its authority and destruction as their theme. Each object constitutes a witness statement to its time and its conflict, and each section has its own story to tell. The chapters - by archaeologists, historians, curators, and artists - create a rich context for the more than 130 objects in the catalogue, most of which have never been studied in depth or published before.

How Judaism reads the Torah I / II
Writing with Scripture, the ancient sages of Judaism made use of Scripture by making Scripture their own, and making themselves into the possession and instrument of Scripture as well, a reciprocal process in which both were changed, each transformed into the likeness and image of the other. This they did by effecting their own selections, shaping a distinctive idiom of discourse, all the while citing, responding to, reflecting upon, Scripture's own words in Scripture's own context and for Scripture's own purpose : the here and now of eternal truth. And the rabbis of the first six centuries A.D. through the compilation presented here not only wrote with Scripture, but set forth a statement that was meant to be coherent and proportioned, well-crafted and well-composed. Since that statement concerned the distinctively-theological question of God's and Israel's relationship with one another, we must classify the writing as theological and find out how, in the compilation before us, theirtheological structure accomplished the autorship's goals. This anthology aims at doing just that. It presents a complete account of how the classical Midrash-text treats a theme of urgent interest to the world today : how Judaism writes with Scripture about the issues of religion that confront all the faithful.

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.
