This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines how the sense of crisis that occasionally seems to overwhelm us directs and transforms Canadian and Quebec writings in English and French, and conversely, how literature and criticism set out to counterbalance the social, economic, and ideological insecurities we live in. Ce recueil de textes étudie les manières dont le sentiment de crise qui peut parfois sembler nous submerger, oriente et transforme les écrits canadiens et québécois d’expressions anglaise et française, et inversement, comment la littérature et la critique s’efforcent de contrebalancer les insécurités sociales, économiques et idéologiques dans lesquelles nous vivons.

Download or read book In Between written by Margit Grieb and published by BrownWalker Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this anthology probe and comment on the "space/time/issue between" in aesthetic or linguistic productions in a variety of cultures. For over three decades the Southeast Conference on Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Film (SCFLLF), which convenes biennially, has been and continues to be a showcase for scholarship in the Humanities with a special emphasis on non-English language area studies. In 2018, at the 23rd SCFLLF, fifty-three national and international scholars presented their research on linguistics, literature, film, culture, and language pedagogy. The essays we selected to showcase all probe and comment on the “space/time/issue between” in aesthetic or linguistic productions in a variety of cultures. We have organized these contributions in three parts entitled: Part I: Between Fiction and "Reality," Part II: Between Continuity and Transformation, and Part III: Between Conformity and Resistance.
Download or read book Medieval Sensibilities written by Damien Boquet and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we know of the emotional life of the Middle Ages? Though a long-neglected subject, a multitude of sources – spiritual and secular literature, iconography, chronicles, as well as theological and medical works – provide clues to the central role emotions played in medieval society. In this work, historians Damien Boquet and Piroska Nagy delve into a rich variety of texts and images to reveal the many and nuanced experiences of emotion during the Middle Ages – from the demonstrative shame of a saint to a nobleman's fear of embarrassment, from the enthusiasm of a crusading band to the fear of a town threatened by the approach of war or plague. Boquet and Nagy show how these outbursts of joy and pain, while universal expressions, must be understood within the specific context of medieval society. During the Middle Ages, a Christian model of affectivity was formed in the ‘laboratory’ of the monasteries, one which gradually seeped into wider society, interacting with the sensibilities of courtly culture and other forms of expression. Bouqet and Nagy bring a thousand years of history to life, demonstrating how the study of emotions in medieval society can also allow us to understand better our own social outlooks and customs.
Download or read book Person Centered Medicine written by Juan E. Mezzich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st is being recognized as the Century of the Person, particularly in Medicine and Health. Person Centered Medicine, as a concept and global programmatic movement developed in collaboration with the World Medical Association, World Health Organization, International Council of Nurses and 30 other institutions over a decade of annual Geneva Conferences, places the whole person as the center of health and as the goal and protagonist of health actions. Seeking the person at the center of medicine, has meant a medicine of the person, for the person, by the person and with the person. Articulating science and humanism, it strives for a medicine informed by evidence, experience and values and aimed at the restoration and promotion of health for all. The textbook on Person Centered Medicine reviews this perspective as it has evolved to date and its resulting knowledge base. The book structure encompasses an Introduction to the field and four sections on Principles, Methods, Specific Health Fields, and Empowerment Perspectives. Its 42 chapters are authored by 105 clinician-scholars from 25 different countries across world regions (North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania). Its vision and goals involve total health for a total person. Ongoing work and upcoming publications would focus on redesigning health systems fit to purpose, and integrating ancestral knowledge and wisdom, community members’ self- and mutual-care, advances in medical science, and the contributions of health-relevant social sectors.

Download or read book Minor Universality Universalit Mineure written by Markus Messling and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The circulation and entanglements of human beings, data, and goods have not necessarily and by themselves generated a universalising consciousness. The "global" and the "universal", in other words, are not the same. The idea of a world-society remains highly contested. Our times are marked by the fragmentation of a double relativistic character: the inevitable critique of Western universalism on the one hand, and resurgent identitarian and neo-nationalistic claims to identity on the other. Sources of an argumentation for a strong universalism brought forward by Western traditions such as Christianity, Marxism, and Liberalism have largely lost their legitimation. All the while, manifold and situated narratives of a common world that re-address the universal are under way of being produced and gain significance. This volume tracks the development and relevance of such cultural and social practices that posit forms of what we call minor universality. It asks: Where and how do contemporary practices open up concrete settings so as to create experiences, reflections and agencies of a shared humanity? With contributions by Isaac Bazié, Anil Bhatti, Jean-Luc Chappey, Elsie Cohen, Leyla Dakhli, Souleymane Bachir Diagne, Nicole Fischer, Albert Gouaffo, Stefan Helgesson, Fatma Hotait, Tammy Lai-Ming Ho, Christopher M.

Download or read book Affective and Emotional Economies in Medieval and Early Modern Europe written by Andreea Marculescu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes how acts of feeling at a discursive, somatic, and rhetorical level were theorized and practiced in multiple medieval and early-modern sources (literary, medical, theological, and archival). It covers a large chronological and geographical span from eleventh-century France, to fifteenth-century Iberia and England, and ending with seventeenth-century Jesuit meditative literature. Essays in this book explore how particular emotional norms belonging to different socio-cultural communities (courtly, academic, urban elites) were subverted or re-shaped; engage with the study of emotions as sudden, but impactful, bursts of sensory experience and feelings; and analyze how emotions are filtered and negotiated through the prism of literary texts and the socio-political status of their authors.
Download or read book Los niveles de vida en Espa a y Francia written by Gérard Gayot and published by Universidad de Alicante. This book was released on 2010 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In memoriam Gérard Gayot. Las asociaciones de Historia Económica española y francesa constituyeron en 2006 un comité encargado de celebrar encuentros periódicos que fomentaran el intercambio de ideas y métodos, la creación de redes de investigación y los estudios de historia comparada. El comité organizó un coloquio sobre "Niveles de vida en España y Francia (siglos XVIII al XX)" que se celebró en 2008 en Aix-en-Provence con la colaboración de la UMR (Unité Mixte de Recherche) TELEMME (Université de Provence-CNRS). Este libro reúne las 15 ponencias presentadas y está dedicado a la memoria de Gérard Gayot, presidente de la asociación francesa y miembro del comité, que falleció poco después del coloquio. Las ponencias están escritas por especialistas españoles y franceses y abarcan el período fines del Antiguo Régimen - fines del siglo XX desde múltiples perspectivas: salarios (Moreno Lázaro y Ventoso); consumo (Cussó y Daumas); mortalidad (Nicolau); estatura (García Montero, Martínez Carrión y Puche Gil, Heyberger); coste de la vida (Maluquer de Motes); crédito (Effose); distribución de la renta (Gayot y Kasdi, Buti); influencia de las instituciones y estructuras agrarias en el bienestar campesino (Pérez Picazo); papel de las divisas francesas en el crecimiento económico de España entre 1960 y 1975 (Sánchez Sánchez); análisis de la evolución del nivel de vida "cruzando" varios indicadores (Escudero y Simón) y también una aproximación teórica a la cuantificación de la desigualdad basada en la hipótesis de que es producto de convenciones y, por consiguiente, mensurable desde otras alternativas a la visión del economista (Kampelmann). Los editores del libro esperamos que contribuya a un mejor conocimiento de las diferencias de bienestar que han existido entre España y Francia y que resulte útil no sólo a los profesionales de la Historia, sino a estudiantes universitarios de Historia, Economía y otras ciencias sociales así como al público culto en general. Gérard Chastagaret es catedrático de Historia en la universidad de Provence (Aix- Marseille) ; Jean Claude Daumas es catedrático de Historia en la universidad de Franche-Comté; Antonio Escudero es catedrático de Historia Económica en la universidad de Alicante y Olivier Raveux es investigador del Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).
