Abstract

La légende urbaine voudrait que Leonardo DiCaprio ait enchaîné trente-deux conquêtes – toutes de sublimes top models – mais sans tomber amoureux d’une seule. Faut-il en chercher les raisons dans les arcanes de la société de consommation et sa propension au narcissisme ? Dans les lois de la biologie ? Ou, tout bêtement, dans le fait que ce cher Leo ne soit pas encore tombé sur la bonne ? Et nous, dans tout ça, sommes-nous, comme lui, des complexés de l’engagement ? Liv Strömquist, que l’on ne présente plus, a choisi d’intituler son nouvel album La Rose la plus rouge s’épanouit, en référence et hommage à un vers de la poétesse américaine féministe Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) qui, dans sa vie comme dans ses écrits, prônait des amours libérées. Une nouvelle occasion pour elle de disséquer les comportements amoureux à l’ère du capitalisme tardif et de les interroger : comment maîtriser les élans du cœur ? Que faire en cas de chagrin d’amour ? Pourquoi les histoires d’amour finissent-elles mal, en général… ? Et pourquoi certaines personnes papillonnent-elles sans jamais se poser ? Avec sa pertinence et son humour habituels, l’auteure entrechoque les références attendues et d’autres qui le sont moins – entre Beyoncé, les Schtroumpfs, des acteurs de télé-réalité, Jésus ou encore des sociologues… – pour sonder les coulisses de la passion. Savez-vous que Socrate était un véritable don Juan avant l’heure, ou bien ce qu’est devenu Thésée, une fois le fil amoureux d’Ariane rompu ? Ou, encore, connaissez-vous Lady Caroline Lamb, ici érigée en modèle, dont les coquetteries avec Lord Byron ont défrayé la chronique de l’époque ? Autant d’exemples qui permettent à Liv Strömquist de dévoiler une véritable anatomie de l’éros en quelques battements…

Abstract

Dans l'univers des sites et applications de rencontres, les industriels et les concepteurs se taisent ; une poignée d'usagers tous semblables parlent dans des articles de presse tous similaires, et les commentateurs proclament la dégradation morale ou la captation marchande de l'amour et de la sexualité. Indéniablement, les sites et les applications changent les scénarios amoureux et sexuels. Mais l'explication ne se trouve pas dans l'émergence d'attitudes radicalement nouvelles en matière de sexualité, dans une désinhibition numérique ou un capitalisme émotionnel. Elle réside davantage dans un bouleversement du cadre de la rencontre. Si les caractéristiques les plus spectaculaires de ces infrastructures numériques – dont la masse des inscrits, la mise en scène de soi et les modalités de choix – modifient la conception que l'on se fait de l'amour au XXIe siècle, le vrai bouleversement réside dans le fait que les rencontres se déroulent désormais en dehors, et souvent à l'insu, des cercles de sociabilité habituels .À partir de données inédites et à travers une enquête extensive, auprès des usagers mais aussi du côté des sites et de ceux qui développent ces " nouvelles lois de l'amour ", Marie Bergström bouscule la vision qu'on se fait du sexe, du célibat, du couple, de l'endogamie sociale, de la séparation, du coup d'un soir, de la cristallisation sans lendemain ou du coup de foudre appelé à durer...

Abstract

Francis Marion Crawford was born on August 2nd, 1854 at Bagni di Lucca, Italy. An only son and a nephew to Julia Ward Howe, the American poet and writer of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic'. His education began at St Paul's School, Concord, New Hampshire, then to Cambridge University; University of Heidelberg; and the University of Rome. In 1879 Crawford went to India, to study Sanskrit and then edited The Indian Herald. In 1881 he returned to America to continue his Sanskrit studies at Harvard University. At this time in Boston he lived at his Aunt Julia house and in the company of his Uncle, Sam Ward. His family was concerned about his employment prospects. After a singing career as a baritone was ruled out, he was encouraged to write. In December 1882 his first novel, 'Mr Isaacs', was an immediate hit which was amplified by 'Dr Claudius' in 1883. In October 1884 he married Elizabeth Berdan. They went on to have two sons and two daughters. Encouraged by his excellent start to a literary career he returned to Italy with Elizabeth to make a permanent home, principally in Sant' Agnello, where he bought the Villa Renzi that then became Villa Crawford. In the late 1890s, he began to write his historical works: 'Ave Roma Immortalis' (1898), 'Rulers of the South' (1900) and 'Gleanings from Venetian History' (1905). The Saracinesca series is perhaps his best work. 'Saracinesca' was followed by 'Sant' Ilario' in 1889, 'Don Orsino' in 1892 and 'Corleone' in 1897, that being the first major treatment of the Mafia in literature. Francis Marion Crawford died at Sorrento on Good Friday 1909 at Villa Crawford of a heart attack.

Abstract

"Performance embodies knowledge transfer, cultural expression, and intercultural influence. It is a method through which Indigenous people express their relations to land and continuously establish their persistant political authority. But performance is also key to the misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in settler colonial societies. Against the Current and Into the Light challenges dominant historical narratives of the land now known as Stanley Park, exploring performances in this space from the late nineteenth century to the present. Selena Couture engages with knowledge held in an endangered Indigenous language's place names, methods of orientation in space and time, and conceptions of leadership and respectful visiting. She then critically engages with narratives of Vancouver history created by the city's first archivist, J.S. Matthews through his interest in Lord Stanley's visit to the park in 1889. Matthews organized several public commemorative performances on this land from the 1940s to 1960, resulting in the iconic yet misleading statue of Lord Stanley situated at the park's entrance. Couture places Matthews's efforts at commemoration alongside continuous political interventions by Indigenous people and organizations such as the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia, while also responding to contemporary performances by Indigenous women in Vancouver which present alternative views of history. Using the metaphor of eddies of influence--motions that shape and are shaped by obstacles in their temporal and spatial environments--Against the Current and Into the Light reveals how histories of places have been created, and how they might be understood differently in light of Indigenous resurgence and decolonization."--

La vie n'est pas comme dans un laboratoire. Et ce n'est pas sa mère (cachée derrière des lunettes noires) ni sa grand-mère (qui parle à Dieu et à ses doigts de pied) qui vont pouvoir l'aider.

Abstract

What does it mean to be a good citizen today? What are practices of citizenship? And what can we learn from the past about these practices to better engage in city life in the twenty-first century? Ancient and Modern Practices of Citizenship in Asia and the West: Care of the Self is a collection of papers that examine these questions. The contributors come from a variety of different disciplines, including architecture, urbanism, philosophy, and history, and their essays make comparative examinations of the practices of citizenship from the ancient world to the present day in both the East and the West. The papers? comparative approaches, between East and West, and ancient and modern, leads to a greater understanding of the challenges facing citizens in the urbanized twenty-first century, and by looking at past examples, suggests ways of addressing them. While the book's point of departure is philosophical, its key aim is to examine how philosophy can be applied to everyday life for the betterment of citizens in cities not just in Asia and the West but everywhere.

Abstract

"Under dictatorship in Argentina, sex and sexuality were regulated to the point where sex education, explicit images, and even suggestive material were prohibited. With the return to democracy in 1983, Argentines experienced new freedoms, including sexual freedoms. The explosion of the availability and ubiquity of sexual material became known as the destape, and it uncovered sexuality in provocative ways. This was a mass-media phenomenon, but it went beyond this. It was, in effect, a deeper process of change in sexual ideologies and practices. By exploring the boom of sex therapy and sexology; the fight for the implementation of sex education in schools; the expansion of family planning services and of organizations dedicated to sexual health care; and the centrality of discussions on sexuality in feminist and gay organizations, Milanesio shows that the destape was a profound transformation of the way Argentines talked, understood, and experienced sexuality, a change in manners, morals, and personal freedoms."--
