Affiche du document Talking Heads — Talking Heads

389 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 4h52min.
In Talking Heads, Benjamin Lee situates himself at the convergence of multiple disciplines: philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, and literary theory. He offers a nuanced exploration of the central questions shared by these disciplines during the modern era-questions regarding the relations between language, subjectivity, community, and the external world. Scholars in each discipline approach these questions from significantly different angles; in seeking to identify and define the intersection of these angles, Lee argues for the development of a new sense of subjectivity, a construct that has repercussions of immense importance beyond the humanities and into the area of politics.Talking Heads synthesizes the views and works of a breathtaking range of the most influential modern theorists of the humanities and social sciences, including Austin, Searle, Derrida, Jakobson, Bakhtin, Wittgenstein, Peirce, Frege, Kripke, Donnellan, Putnam, Saussure, and Whorf. After illuminating these many strands of thought, Lee moves beyond disciplinary biases and re-embeds within the context of the public sphere the questions of subjectivity and language raised by these theorists. In his examination of how subjectivity relates not just to grammatical patterns but also to the specific social institutions in which these patterns develop and are sustained, Lee discusses such topics as the concept of public opinion and the emergence of Western nation-states.

Zaynab, first published in 1913, is widely cited as the first Arabic novel, yet the previous eight decades saw hundreds of novels translated into Arabic from English and French. This vast literary corpus influenced generations of Arab writers but has, until now, been considered a curious footnote in the genre's history. Incorporating these works into the history of the Arabic novel, Stranger Fictions offers a transformative new account of modern Arabic literature, world literature, and the novel.Rebecca C. Johnson rewrites the history of the global circulation of the novel by moving Arabic literature from the margins of comparative literature to its center. Considering the wide range of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century translation practices-including "e;bad"e; translation, mistranslation, and pseudotranslation-Johnson argues that Arabic translators did far more than copy European works; they authored new versions of them, producing sophisticated theorizations of the genre. These translations and the reading practices they precipitated form the conceptual and practical foundations of Arab literary modernity, necessitating an overhaul of our notions of translation, cultural exchange, and the global.Examining nearly a century of translations published in Beirut, Cairo, Malta, Paris, London, and New York, from Qiat Rubinun Kuruzi (The story of Robinson Crusoe) in 1835 to pastiched crime stories in early twentieth-century Egyptian magazines, Johnson shows how translators theorized the Arab world not as Europe's periphery but as an alternative center in a globalized network. Stranger Fictions affirms the central place of (mis)translation in both the history of the novel in Arabic and the novel as a transnational form itself.

Questions and answers from two great philosophersWhy is laughter contagious? Why do mountains exist? Why do we long for the past, even if it is scarred by suffering? Spanning a vast array of subjects that range from the philosophical to the theological, from the philological to the scientific, The Philosopher Responds is the record of a set of questions put by the litterateur Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi to the philosopher and historian Abu ''Ali Miskawayh. Both figures were foremost contributors to the remarkable flowering of cultural and intellectual life that took place in the Islamic world during the reign of the Buyid dynasty in the fourth/tenth century. The correspondence between al-Tawhidi and Miskawayh holds a mirror to many of the debates and preoccupations of the time and reflects the spirit of rationalistic inquiry that animated their era. It also provides insight into the intellectual outlooks of two thinkers who were divided as much by their distinctive temperaments as by the very different trajectories of their professional careers. Alternately whimsical and tragic, wondering and brooding, trivial and profound, al-Tawhidi’s questions provoke an interaction as interesting in its spiritedness as in its content. This new edition of The Philosopher Responds is accompanied by the first full-length English translation of this important text, bringing this interaction to life for the English reader.A bilingual Arabic-English edition.

The life, birth, and early years of 'the Fariyaq'-the alter ego of the Arab intellectual Ahmad Faris al-ShidyaqLeg over Leg recounts the life, from birth to middle age, of "e;the Fariyaq,"e; alter ego of Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq, a pivotal figure in the intellectual and literary history of the modern Arab world. The always edifying and often hilarious adventures of the Fariyaq, as he moves from his native Lebanon to Egypt, Malta, Tunis, England, and France, provide the author with grist for wide-ranging discussions of the intellectual and social issues of his time, including the ignorance and corruption of the Lebanese religious and secular establishments, freedom of conscience, women's rights, sexual relationships between men and women, the manners and customs of Europeans and Middle Easterners, and the differences between contemporary European and Arabic literatures, all the while celebrating the genius and beauty of the classical Arabic language.Volumes One and Two follow the hapless Fariyaq through his youth and early education, his misadventures among the monks of Mount Lebanon, his flight to the Egypt of Muhammad 'Ali, and his subsequent employment with the first Arabic daily newspaper-during which time he suffers a number of diseases that parallel his progress in the sciences of Arabic grammar, and engages in amusing digressions on the table manners of the Druze, young love, snow, and the scandals of the early papacy. This first book also sees the list-of locations in Hell, types of medieval glue, instruments of torture, stars and pre-Islamic idols-come into its own as a signature device of the work.Akin to Sterne and Rabelais in his satirical outlook and technical inventiveness, al-Shidyaq produced in Leg over Leg a work that is unique and unclassifiable. It was initially widely condemned for its attacks on authority, its religious skepticism, and its "e;obscenity,"e; and later editions were often abridged. This is the first complete English translation of this groundbreaking work.

L'enseignement des langues dans les écoles suisses est devenu une question brûlante au cours de ces dernières années. Il en va à la fois de la cohésion nationale, de la formation équilibrée des élèves, de la préservation de la diversité culturelle, de l'adéquation des contenus scolaires et de la situation socio-économique du moment. Un détour par l'histoire permet une mise en perspective des débats actuels. Comment enseigner la diversité et préserver la cohérence des plans d'études? Comment s'ouvrir à la scène internationale sans négliger la langue maternelle et les langues nationales? Cette Histoire de l'enseignement des langues en Suisse romande montre comment les générations successives se sont confrontées à ces questions et y ont apporté des réponses différentes selon le contexte social, politique et culturel du moment, entre le premier quart du XVIIIe et le milieu du XXe siècles. Le livre retrace également les grandes lignes de l'évolution des méthodes et des contenus de l'enseignement des langues.

Although the narrative revolves around a series of debates over the nature of male-female relationships, opportunities also arise for disquisitions on the physical and moral significance of such diverse topics as the buttocks, the unreliability of virginity tests, and the human capacity for self-delusion. Lengthy stays in England and France allow for animadversions on the table manners and sexual aberrations of their citizens, but the discussion, whether it involve dance-halls, pleasure gardens, or poetry, almost always ends up returning to gender relations.Akin to Sterne and Rabelais in his satirical outlook and technical inventiveness, al-Shidyaq produced in Leg over Leg a work that is unique and unclassifiable.

This is the first complete English translation of this groundbreaking work.

Finalist for the 2016 National Translation Award given by the American Literary Translators'' AssociationThe life, birth, and early years of ''the Fariyaq''—the alter ego of the Arab intellectual Ahmad Faris al-ShidyaqLeg over Leg recounts the life, from birth to middle age, of “the Fariyaq,” alter ego of Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq, a pivotal figure in the intellectual and literary history of the modern Arab world. The always edifying and often hilarious adventures of the Fariyaq, as he moves from his native Lebanon to Egypt, Malta, Tunis, England, and France, provide the author with grist for wide-ranging discussions of the intellectual and social issues of his time, including the ignorance and corruption of the Lebanese religious and secular establishments, freedom of conscience, women’s rights, sexual relationships between men and women, the manners and customs of Europeans and Middle Easterners, and the differences between contemporary European and Arabic literatures, all the while celebrating the genius and beauty of the classical Arabic language.Volumes Three and Four see the peripatetic Fariyaq fall in love and convert to Catholicism for twenty-four hours in order to marry. Although the narrative revolves around a series of debates over the nature of male-female relationships, opportunities also arise for disquisitions on the physical and moral significance of such diverse topics as the buttocks, the unreliability of virginity tests, and the human capacity for self-delusion. Lengthy stays in England and France allow for animadversions on the table manners and sexual aberrations of their citizens, but the discussion, whether it involve dance-halls, pleasure gardens, or poetry, almost always ends up returning to gender relations.Akin to Sterne and Rabelais in his satirical outlook and technical inventiveness, al-Shidyaq produced in Leg over Leg a work that is unique and unclassifiable.

Par quels chemins de traverse devient-on historien ? Dans cette autobiographie alerte, Jean-Charles Jauffret rappelle qu’une vocation n’est pas le fruit du hasard. Elle repose sur des expériences et des personnages extraordinaires qui ont marqué son enfance éclatée, entre la Guadeloupe, la Corse et la Provence. Entre 1953 et 1958, dans le Nord de la Grande-Terre (Guadeloupe), membres de l’équipe dirigeante de la grande l’usine sucrière de Beauport, ses parents travaillent dans un monde colonial bien particulier. Il est retracé par 270 lettres écrites par sa mère, vraie Madame de Sévigné par la qualité du style et l’acuité des propos, de la vie à bord des derniers grands paquebots de la Transat affrétés à la ligne des Antilles, au vécu des ouvriers et des cadres créoles et métropolitains d’un Léviathan industriel. Le « fiat lux » de l’histoire militaire est dû à des vacances en Corse, l’île de ses ascendants maternels, en 1956 et 1958, dans le village perché d’Antisanti. Le legs culturel des grands-parents se mesure aussi par l’apport des découvertes faites lors de vacances dans le grand mas familial du village de Cabannes, de 1959 à 1968, résidence de ses ascendants paternels. Nostalgie de mondes perdus, on vit le passage d’un monde traditionnel, aux parlers et de coutumes encore vivaces, à la modernité trépidante qui ne sait plus prendre le temps.

"Abbiamo fatto l'Italia, ora dobbiamo fare gli italiani", disse il politico Massimo d'Azeglio dopo l'Unità d'Italia. In questa opera enciclopedica in più volumi, Cesare Cantù vuole in qualche modo dimostrare l'opposto: la storia del popolo italiano precede di gran lunga la nascita dello stato italiano. E così, Cantù accompagna i lettori in un tour de force intellettuale che esplora le origini del popolo italiano con l'implicito intento di dimostrare che se è stata fatta l'Italia è perché già c'erano gli italiani. Cesare Cantù (1804-1895) è stato uno storico, scrittore e politico italiano. Parlamentare del Regno d'Italia, presidente onorario della SIAE, autore di una monumentale "Storia universale" in 35 volumi, fondatore dell'Archivio storico lombardo, Cantù resta una delle figure chiave del panorama intellettuale italiano del XIX secolo.

The physical setting of the South’s human cultureFrom semitropical coastal areas to high mountain terrain, from swampy lowlands to modern cities, the environment holds a fundamental importance in shaping the character of the American South. This volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture surveys the dynamic environmental forces that have shaped human culture in the region — and the ways humans have shaped their environment. Articles examine how the South’s ecology, physiography, and climate have influenced southerners — not only as a daily fact of life but also as a metaphor for understanding culture and identity.This volume includes ninety-eight essays that explore — both broadly and specifically — elements of the southern environment. Thematic overviews address subjects such as plants, animals, energy use and development, and natural disasters. Shorter topical entries feature familiar species such as the alligator, the ivory-billed woodpecker, kudzu, and the mockingbird. Also covered are important individuals in southern environmental history and prominent places in the landscape, such as the South’s national parks and seashores. New articles cover contemporary issues in land use and conservation, environmental protection, and the current status of the flora and fauna widely associated with the South.
