Petitioning Osiris re-edits, re-analyses, and re-contextualises the "Old Coptic Schmidt Papyrus" and "Curse of Artemisia" – written petitions to different manifestations of Osiris – among the Letters to Gods in Demotic, Greek, and Old Coptic from Egypt. The textual traditions of the Letters to Gods, to the Dead, and Oracle Questions which evidence that ritual tradition of petitioning deities are contextualised among contemporary textual traditions, such as Letters and Petitions to Human Recipients, and Documents of Self-Dedication, and compared to later ritual traditions such as proactive and reactive curses without and with judicial features (so-called Prayers for Justice) in Greek and Coptic from Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean. As with all other Letters to Gods, the Old Coptic Schmidt Papyrus and Curse of Artemisia evidence not only the struggles and aspirations of their petitioners, but also the way in which they conceptualised that they could bring about desired outcomes in their lived experience by engaging divine agency through a reciprocal relationship of human-divine interaction. Petitioning Osiris therefore provides a starting point and springboard for readers interested in these, or comparable, textual and ritual traditions from the Ancient World.

Le wokisme est né sur les campus américains. Il a gagné l'Angleterre et le continent européen. Son berceau deviendra-t-il son tombeau ? L'heure est à la contreoffensive. Et dans le monde anglo-saxon, la résistance s'organise. Ce livre en dresse la chronique. Comment contrer la déferlante woke ? Comment répondre à ses dérives ? Théorie du genre, racialisme, décolonialisme, transactivisme : le système diversitaire s'impose partout. Le woke ne voit autour de lui que victimes et bourreaux et, pour réparer le monde, s'affaire à le pulvériser. Alors des esprits forts refusent de céder aux pressions et défendent l'égalité des droits. Philosophes, universitaires, médecins, juristes ou simples citoyens s'attellent à déjouer l'avènement d'un monde orwellien. Face à la violence de leurs adversaires, ils risquent leur carrière et leur réputation, mais défendent leurs convictions au milieu du vacarme. Sylvie Perez est allée à leur rencontre. Fruit d'un long travail d'enquête, ce livre documente les réponses émergeant de toutes les strates de la société. Par le contournement ou par le choc, par le sérieux ou par l'humour, le combat pour la liberté d'expression est engagé. Et la bataille culturelle fait rage. Journaliste, Sylvie Perez a travaillé dans la presse écrite et à la radio. Elle a publié plusieurs essais, romans et livres d'entretiens, et traduit de l'anglais l'œuvre théâtrale d'Agatha Christie.

This volume brings together the full range of modalities of social influence - from crowding, leadership, and norm formation to resistance and mass mediation - to set out a challenge-and-response 'cyclone' model. The authors use real-world examples to ground this model and review each modality of social influence in depth. A 'periodic table of social influence' is constructed that characterises and compares exercises of influence in practical terms. The wider implications of social influence are considered, such as how each exercise of a single modality stimulates responses from other modalities and how any everyday process is likely to arise from a mix of influences. The book demonstrates that different modalities of social influence are tactics that defend, question, and develop 'common sense' over time and offers advice to those studying in political and social movements, social change, and management.
