The Fabliaux
Author: Mary Jane Stearns SchenckPublisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027278873
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
This is an interesting book that provides a sane analysis of the relation between form and meaning in the fabliaux. It will henceforth be standard reading for those dealing with what nevertheless remains one of the most problematic genres of Old French Literature for the modern scholar.Keith Busby, Speculum — A Journal of Medieval Studies, Jan. 1990

Our Civilizing Mission
Author: Nicholas HarrisonPublisher: Contemporary French and Francophone Cultures
ISBN: 1786941767
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Our Civilizing Mission is at once an exploration of colonial education, and a response to current anxieties about the historical and conceptual foundations of the 'humanities'. On the one hand, focusing in detail on the example of Algeria, it treats colonial education as a facet of colonialism, exploring work by 'colonized' writers that attests to the suffering inflicted by colonialism, to the shortcomings of colonial education, and to the often painful mismatch between the world of the colonial school and students' home cultures. On the other hand, it asks what can be learned by treating colonial education not just as an example of colonialism but as a provocative, uncomfortable example of education. Placing writers' literary and personal accounts of their transformative and often alienating experiences of colonial education in historical context, it raises difficult questions - about languages, literatures, ways of thinking, nationalism and national cultures - that need to be reconsidered by anyone teaching subjects such as French, or English, especially through literature.

The "Liber Amicorum Lucius Caflisch" covers different fields in which Judge Caflisch has excelled in his various capacities, as scholar, representative of Switzerland in international conferences, legal adviser of the Swiss Foreign Affairs Ministry, counsel, registrar, arbitrator and judge. This collective work is divided into three main sections. The first section examines questions concerning human rights and international humanitarian law.

Fleurs du mal

Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Surprisingly, there are few book-length studies available that approach the poems in Charles Baudelaireís collection on an individual basis. Understanding "Les Fleurs du Mal" fills this gap by providing students and serious readers with clear, scholarly "explications" to many of the most widely read of Baudelaire's poems.

Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Vous êtes-vous déjà posé la question essentielle suivante : Qui suis-je ? Si oui, quelle réponse avez-vous reçue ? Votre réponse vous a-t-elle satisfaite ? Cependant, si cette question n’a jamais effleuré votre esprit, alors le moment serait venu de vous la poser sérieusement, en toute conscience. Ou alors, si malgré tous vos efforts, vous n’êtes toujours pas parvenus à une réponse convaincante, inutile de poursuivre votre quête. Ce livre vous fournira les outils nécessaires pour y répondre. Depuis notre plus tendre enfance, nous nous sommes égarés et englués dans une multitude d’identifications illusoires, les unes aussi pernicieuses que les autres. Il est maintenant temps d’accéder à une prise de conscience identitaire nouvelle.
Leibniz Selon Les Nouveaux Essais Sur L'entendement Humain
Author: François DuchesneauPublisher: Les Editions Fides
ISBN: 9782890079649
Category : Philosophy
Languages : fr
Pages : 364
Book Description
Dramatisation d'un dialogue souhaite par Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) mais refuse par John Locke (1632-1704), les Nouveaux Essais sur l'entendement humain (1704) mettent en scene Theophile et Philalethe: et Leibniz pouvait ainsi donner la replique a l'Essay concerning Human Understanding (1690)de Locke. Longtemps consideres comme la simple synthese de la philosophie leibnizienne, les Nouveaux Essais ne nous presentent-ils pas plutot le philosophe de Hanovre empruntant des pistes originales d'analyse et offrant des orientations epistemologiques plus marquees que dans toute autre de ses oeuvres? S'interessant a l'Essay, Leibniz avait declare: ...] j'ai fort medite moi-meme sur ce qui regarde les fondements de nos connaissances. ...] De toutes les recherches il n'y a point de plus importante, puisque c'est la clef de toutes les autres . Ce sont les tenants et les aboutissants de ce jugement de Leibniz, qui fixait ainsi - par anticipation - le propos des Nouveaux Essais, auxquels les auteurs ont ici consacre leurs analyses.
The Rhetoric of Topics and Forms
Author: Gianna ZoccoPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110641984
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 639
Book Description
The fourth volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress “The Many Languages of Comparative Literature” includes articles that study thematic and formal elements of literary texts. Although the question of prioritizing either the level of content or that of form has often provoked controversies, most contributions here treat them as internally connected. While theoretical considerations inform many of the readings, the main interest of most articles can be described as rhetorical (in the widest sense) – given that the ancient discipline of rhetoric did not only include the study of rhetorical figures and tropes such as metaphor, irony, or satire, but also that of topoi, which were originally viewed as the ‘places’ where certain arguments could be found, but later came to represent the arguments or intellectual themes themselves. Another feature shared by most of the articles is the tendency of ‘undeclared thematology’, which not only reflects the persistence of the charge of positivism, but also shows that most scholars prefer to locate themselves within more specific, often interdisciplinary fields of literary study. In this sense, this volume does not only prove the ongoing relevance of traditional fields such as rhetoric and thematology, but provides contributions to currently flourishing research areas, among them literary multilingualism, literature and emotions, and ecocriticism.
