Elles ne furent ni héroïnes, ni puissantes mais elles savaient toutes ce qu'elles voulaient : ne pas se conformer à ce qu'on attendait d'elle ! Arlette Camion brosse le portrait de dix femmes très différentes mais unies dans une résistance discrète et tenace. À travers plus d'un millénaire, de 500 à 1600, d'Amalasonthe, fille de Théodoric le Grand, à Sofonisba Anguissola, première femme peintre célèbre, les stratégies diffèrent, mais le projet est le même. Si elles n'ont pas pu imposer définitivement le règne de la douceur et de la paix, elles ont réussi à ne pas obéir à l'ordre établi, celui de la violence et de la bêtise. Adoptant le parti de l'humour, voici une traversée moqueuse de onze siècles d'histoire européenne, aussi éclairante que divertissante.

"Italian cities have been points of reference for much of architect Peter Wilson's professional life and the many reasons for visiting the country have long presented themselves as not just the easy list - holidays, food, architecture and culture - but as the prompt for a more ingrained understanding of Italy's wider architectural habitat and cultural mythology. This book, first published by the AA School in 2016, appears in the form of a latter-day Baedeker. But rather than a pragmatic itinerary, its content offers an eclectic and idiosyncratic list of assorted reasons to head south, richly illustrated by Wilson's own drawings and watercolors"--

"In bringing biography and celebrity together, the essays in Making Stars interrogate contemporary and current understandings of each. Although biography was not invented in the eighteenth century, the period saw the emergence of works that focus on individuals who are interesting as much, if not more, for their everyday, lived experience than for their status or actions. At the same time, celebrity emerged as public fascination for the private lives of publicly visible individuals. Biography and celebrity are mutually constitutive, but in complex and varied ways that this volume unpacks. Contributors to this volume present us a picture of eighteenth-century celebrity that was mediated across multiple sites, demonstrating that eighteenth-century celebrity culture in Britain was more pervasive, diverse and, in many ways, more egalitarian, than previously supposed"--

"This comprehensive work presents a thorough exploration of celebrity 'bromances,' interrogating how bromances are portrayed in media and consumed by audiences to examine themes of celebrity persona, performativity, and authenticity. The authors examine how the performance of intimate male friendships functions within broadly 'Western' celebrity culture from three primary perspectives: construction of persona; interactions with audiences and fans; and commodification. Case studies from film and television are used to illustrate the argument that, regardless of their authenticity (real or staged), bromances are useful for engaging audiences and creating an extension of entertainment beyond the film the actors originally sought to promote. The first truly interdisciplinary study of its kind, this book will be of great interest to scholars and students of communications, advertising, marketing, Internet studies, media, journalism, cultural studies, and film and television"--
