Book Description
Ecotherapy or "green therapy" is a method of getting to know oneself, others and nature better. It is based on the principle that our physical and psychological health depends strongly on our interaction with the environment around us. A true guide for women, combining tradition and modernity, this book reminds us of our role as guardian, initiator or seed-maker, working for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for all living beings. Indeed, no evolution can be achieved without the knowledge that intimately links us to nature. It is through this dialogue with the Earth that we learn to love... In this book of personal and spiritual evolution, you will discover practices and rituals inspired by the an original medicine wheel passed on to the author by Maud Séjournant that will help you reconnect with nature. You will then feel the desire to reenchant your life and your environment and become a guardian of the Earth.
Encyclopedia of French Film Directors
Author: Philippe RègePublisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 081086939X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 1486
Book Description
Cinema has been long associated with France, dating back to 1895, when Louis and Auguste Lumi_re screened their works, the first public viewing of films anywhere. Early silent pioneers Georges MZli_s, Alice Guy BlachZ and others followed in the footsteps of the Lumi_re brothers and the tradition of important filmmaking continued throughout the 20th century and beyond. In Encyclopedia of French Film Directors, Philippe Rège identifies every French director who has made at least one feature film since 1895. From undisputed masters to obscure one-timers, nearly 3,000 directors are cited here, including at least 200 filmmakers not mentioned in similar books published in France. Each director's entry contains a brief biographical summary, including dates and places of birth and death; information on the individual's education and professional training; and other pertinent details, such as real names (when the filmmaker uses a pseudonym). The entries also provide complete filmographies, including credits for feature films, shorts, documentaries, and television work. Some of the most important names in the history of film can be found in this encyclopedia, from masters of the Golden Age_Jean Renoir and RenZ Clair_to French New Wave artists such as Fran_ois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard.

The Memory of Nature in Aboriginal, Canadian and American Contexts
Author: Françoise BessonPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443861618
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
This volume engages the reader’s interest in the relationship that binds man to nature, a relationship which makes itself manifest through certain literary or visual artefacts produced by Native or non-Native writers and artists. It ranges from the study of literatures (mainly from Canada – including Quebec and Acadia – but also from Britain, the United States of America, France, Turkey, and Australia) to the exploration of films, photographs, paintings and sculptures produced by Aboriginal artists from North America. Thanks to a relational paradigm founded on spatial and temporal enlargement, it re-imagines the critical outlook on indigenous production by instigating a dialogue between endogenous and exogenous scholars, novelists and artists, and by weaving together interdisciplinary approaches spanning anthropology, geology, ecocriticism and the study of myths. From the writings by Scott Momaday to those by Tomson Highway, from Pauline Johnson to Louise Erdrich, or from the photographs by William McFarlane Notman and Edward Burtynsky or the films by Randy Redroad to the paintings by Emily Carr, it explores art as the sedimentation of nature. It simultaneously interrogates the representation of nature and the nature of representation as a geological and generic process inscribed in the history of mankind. Without eclipsing differences and imposing a reified Eurocentric critical discourse upon indigenous productions, this volume does not colonize indigenous texts or indulge in cultural appropriation of works of art, but looks for historical, mythological or geological traces of the past; a past characterized by the intimacy between man and animal, man and rock, or man and plant, a past which is allowed to resurface through the creative and critical outlooks that are bestowed upon its subjacent or subterranean existence. It resurfaces, not as nostalgic memory but as an interactive fertilization giving the present a new life in which the non-human provides a key to the understanding of the human bond to nature.
The Mother In/and French Literature
Author: Buford NormanPublisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9789042007109
Category : Families in literature
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
The essays in this volume investigate maternity and the figure of the mother in French literature from France, Switzerland, Quebec and Africa, from the seventeenth century to the present. Drawing on cultural history, psychoanalysis, and feminist theory, as well as more traditional methods, they present maternity as a source of frustration and of joy, mothers as repressed and revered, daughters as wounded and loving, sons as domineering and dependent. Indeed, few things are simple where mothers -- and especially where writing about mothers -- are concerned.
La vie caméléon

Book Description
« De retour au camp après une journée de bois, de glace et de faim, notre seule pensée tournait autour de la bouffe du soir, cette fameuse soupe à l'eau, quelquefois suivie de pommes de terre en robe des champs servies avec une sauce douteuse, une petite cuillerée par Maid, toujours sous l’œil vigilant de la Führerin. Un jour, celle qui apportait la sauce en ayant renversé un peu sur la table, toutes les filles assises autour se précipitèrent sur cette sauce gluante qu'elles léchèrent et lapèrent à même la table graisseuse et spongieuse, comme des chiots. Je crois que c'est ce jour-là que je pris conscience pour la première fois de la fragilité du vernis que nous donnent l’éducation et la culture, face à la nécessité toute nue de la survie. À peine un an auparavant, une bonne vêtue de satin noir m'avait servi une tranche de brochet à la sauce de raifort, sur une assiette de porcelaine, et me voilà, moi aussi, affalée sur une table branlante et dégoûtante, en train de lécher une sauce infecte. » Waldtraut Helene Treilles

Art and Mysticism
Author: Louise NelstropPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351765140
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
From the visual and textual art of Anglo-Saxon England onwards, images held a surprising power in the Western Christian tradition. Not only did these artistic representations provide images through which to find God, they also held mystical potential, and likewise mystical writing, from the early medieval period onwards, is also filled with images of God that likewise refracts and reflects His glory. This collection of essays introduces the currents of thought and practice that underpin this artistic engagement with Western Christian mysticism, and explores the continued link between art and theology. The book features contributions from an international panel of leading academics, and is divided into four sections. The first section offers theoretical and philosophical considerations of mystical aesthetics and the interplay between mysticism and art. The final three sections investigate this interplay between the arts and mysticism from three key vantage points. The purpose of the volume is to explore this rarely considered yet crucial interface between art and mysticism. It is therefore an important and illuminating collection of scholarship that will appeal to scholars of theology and Christian mysticism as much as those who study literature, the arts and art history.
