Abstract

En 1948, Jack Kerouac emploie pour la première fois l'expression "Beat Generation". Quelques années plus tard paraît Sur la route, roman-manifeste de ce nouveau mouvement littéraire et artistique qui va marquer les Etats-Unis des années 1950. Adolescence, zen, autostop, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, beatnik ... Ces 100 mots explorent ce qui a fait la Beat Generation : ses auteurs sulfureux, bien sûr, mais aussi ses lieux et ses tendances. Que serait la Beat sans l'Amérique, à la fois page vierge et immense poème ? Quel visage prend la liberté pour eux ? Avec une plume alerte – celle du romancier –, Jean-François Duval donne à voir une époque qui a marqué la littérature américaine par son audace et qui a irrigué l'ensemble de la contre-culture, de la musique au cinéma en passant par la photographie et la peinture.

Abstract

This book argues that equal recognition before the law is the key to achieving social equality for marginalised groups. It examines how the law denies equal recognition to members of marginalised groups through denials of their legal personhood and legal agency and how we can use human rights law to address these wrongs.

Abstract

"The Iberian world played a key role in the global trade of enslaved people from the 15th century onwards. Scholars of Iberian forms of slavery face challenges accessing the subjectivity of the enslaved, given the scarcity of autobiographical sources. This book offers a compelling example of innovative methodologies that draw on alternative archives and documents, such as inquisitorial and trial records, to examine enslaved individuals' and collective subjectivities under Iberian political dominion. It explores themes such as race, gender, labour, social mobility and emancipation, religion, and politics, shedding light on the lived experiences of those enslaved in the Iberian world from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. Contributors are: Sophia Blea Nun~ez, Magdalena Candioti, Patricia Faria e Souza, James Fujitani, Joa~o Jose´ dos Reis, Michel Kabalan, Silvia Lara, Marta Macedo, Hebe Mattos, Michelle McKinley, Robson Pedroso Costa, Fernanda Pinheiro, Ro^mulo da Silva Ehalt, Lisa Surwillo, Miguel Valerio and Lisa Voigt"--

Abstract

In Prophet, Intermediary, King: The Dynamics of Mediation in the Biblical World and Old Babylonian Mari , Julie B. Deluty investigates the mediation of prophecy for kings in biblical narratives and the Old Babylonian corpus from Mari. In many cases, the prophet’s message is delivered through a third party—sometimes a royal official or family member—who may exercise a degree of autonomy in the transmission of the words. Drawing on social network theory, the book highlights the importance of third-party intermediaries in the process of communication that lies at the core of biblical and ancient Near Eastern prophecy. Recognition of the place of non-prophetic intermediaries in a monarchic system offers a new dimension to the study of prophecy in antiquity.

Abstract

« La grossophobie est une discrimination à la fois systémique et privée, elle vous colle à la semelle pour ne plus vous lâcher. Elle s’organise dans les rouages de nos systèmes éducatifs, dans nos décisions de santé publique, dans l’égalité de l’accès aux soins, elle nourrit les appétits capitalistes des géants industriels à hauteur de milliards d’euros chaque année. Elle se cache dans les placards cadenassés des cuisines familiales des adolescents désignés comme gourmands, elle se mêle aux violences sexistes et sexuelles, elle se tisse dans les mailles des vêtements introuvables passé une certaine taille. »Dans cet ouvrage, l’écrivaine et militante féministe Daria Marx s’attaque au sujet de la grossophobie qu’elle a contribué à faire émerger. En dix questions, elle revient sur les origines de la discrimination des gros·ses, sur l’illusion de la révolution body-positive et sur les grandes figures de la lutte contre la grossophobie. Plusieurs chapitres abordent la question médicale, qui est centrale, notamment l’accès aux soins et le business juteux de l’amaigrissement.

Abstract

In this ethnographic study, Johannes Lenhard observes the daily practices, routines and techniques of people who are sleeping rough on the streets of Paris. The book focusses on their survival practises, their short-term desires and hopes, how they earn money through begging, how they choose the best place to sleep at night and what role drugs and alcohol play in their lives. The book also follows people through different institutional settings, including a homeless day centre, a needle exchange, a centre for people with alcohol problems and a homeless shelter.
