Download or read book Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel written by Chris Tinker and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1950s and 1960s were the golden era of French popular song, known as chanson français, and Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel epitomized both the music and the era. Their fame was worldwide, with writers and artists such as David Bowie and Gabriel García Márquez citing them as key influences. In Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel, Chris Tinker sheds new light on the pair and their work by moving beyond the biographical and linguistic approaches that tend to dominate the study of French song. Instead, Tinker focuses on the social and cultural impact of the music—and public personas—of Brassens and Brel. He explores the fascinating mix of the personal and the general in their lyrics and the way those often opposing impulses played out in their songs and through their careers. Tinker also is careful to give the musical aspects of the songs their proper attention, considering the ways in which they alternately support or undermine the personas developed in the singers' lyrics. Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel will be the definitive look at the work—and the world—of the two greatest figures of chanson français.

Book excerpt: Practising Human Geography is critical introduction to disciplinary debates about the practice of human geography, that is informed by an inquiry into how geographers actually do research. In examining those methods and practices that are integral to doing geography, the text presents a theoretically-informed reflection on the construction and interpretation of geographical data - including factual and "fictional" sources; the use of core research methodologies; and the interpretative role of the researcher. Framed by an historical overview how ideas of practising human geography have changed, the following three sections offer an comprehensive and integrated overview of research methodologies. Illustrated throughout, the te
Download or read book Place Culture Representation written by James S. Duncan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial and cultural analysis have recently found much common ground, focusing in particular on the nature of the city. Place/Culture/Representation brings together new and established voices involved in the reshaping of cultural geography. The authors argue that as we write our geographies we are not just representing some reality, we are creating meaning. Writing becomes as much about the author as it is about purported geographical reality. The issue becomes not scientific truth as the end but the interpretation of cultural constructions as the means. Discussing authorial power, discourses of the other, texts and textuality, landscape metaphor, the sites of power-knowledge relations and notions of community and the sense of place, the authors explore the ways in which a more fluid and sensitive geographer's art can help us make sense of ourselves and the landscapes and places we inhabit and think about.

Book excerpt: Neuf dieux gouvernaient jadis le monde, jusqu'à ce qu'une ultime trahison ne les mène à leur perte. Depuis, le monde se meurt et seul le retour des Dieux disparus pourra le sauver. Il y a de cela neuf cents ans, les Dragons des Trois Tempêtes, divinités du Chaos, tentèrent d'anéantir l'archipel de la Kundou. La seule solution pour sauver le pays fut de s'opposer aux Dragons, de les terrasser et de s'emparer de leurs pouvoirs. Depuis, cette puissance confère à la famille royale le droit de suzeraineté. Mais cette magie a un terrible prix, et le prince Nankyokukai est bien décidé à être le dernier à devoir le payer... même si pour cela il doit renoncer à tout espoir d'être avec l'homme qu'il a attendu toute sa vie.

This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C'est effectuant des recherches sur Maat, la deesse de la justice de l'ancienne Egypte, que j'ai compris combien il etait difficile aux egyptologues de comprendre les vestiges de l'ancienne Egypte, en utilisant uniquement leur esprit conscient. Leur structure mentale ne leur permet pas d'entrer dans la logique des anciens peuples, parce ces derniers avaient une facon de percevoir le monde qui leur est etrangere. Les anciens peuples pouvaient ressentir beaucoup mieux que nous l'energie vitale qui circule dans la nature, autour d'eux, l'interieur d'eux-memes et dans le cosmos. Ils avaient explore les deux aspects du monde -materiel et immateriel-, et leur lois d'interaction. Ils avaient accumule des connaissances qui sont a notre portee dans leurs vestiges, et tout particulierement dans les vestiges juridiques archaiques. Mais elles sont la plupart du temps exprimees dans un langage et une iconographie symboliques, de type onirique qui ne peuvent informer correctement l'esprit rationnel de l'homme moderne. D'ou la necessite pour les chercheurs de se pencher sur les codes de leurs propres reves. C'est lorsque nous revons que nous nous rapprochons le plus de l'univers mental des anciens peuples. En effet, c'est quand nous revons que nous devenons, comme eux, sensibles l'energie vitale, et proccupes par sa preservation, une capacite que nous avons desormais perdue l'etat de veille. Les archeologues trouveront, exposee dans ce livre, une technique unique au monde pour travailler sur leurs reves de facon fructueuse pour leurs recherches. Elle est basee sur plus de 20 ans de recherches personnelles sur les anciens systemes juridiques et sur les connexions entre le reve et la realite. Je suis heureuse de partager ici l'exprience que j'ai acquise dans ces domaines, afin qu'elle puisse etre utile a tous les chercheurs professionnels et autres personnes intelligentes qui desirent faire progresser notre comprehension de l'ancienne Egypte et d'autres anciennes civilisations, et qui n'ont pu assister mes seminaires.
