Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kathleen Kete's wise and witty examination of petkeeping in nineteenth-century Paris provides a unique window through which to view the lives of ordinary French people. She demonstrates how that cliché of modern life, the family dog, reveals the tensions that modernity created for the Parisian bourgeoisie. Kete's study draws on a range of literary and archival sources, from dog-care books to veterinarians's records to Dumas's musings on his cat. The fad for aquariums, attitudes toward vivisection, the dread of rabies, the development of dog breeding—all are shown to reflect the ways middle-class people thought about their lives. Petkeeping, says Kete, was a way to imagine a better, more manageable version of the world—it relieved the pressures of contemporary life and improvised solutions to the intractable mesh that was post-Enlightenment France. The faithful, affectionate family dog became a counterpoint to the isolation of individualism and lack of community in urban life. By century's end, however, animals no longer represented the human condition with such potency, and even the irascible, autonomous cat had been rehabilitated into a creature of fidelity and affection. Full of fascinating details, this innovative book will contribute to the way we understand culture and the creation of class. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Download or read book Impressionist Cats Dogs written by James Henry Rubin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Impressionist paintings of modern life and leisure include images of household pets. Their appealing presence lends charm to such works while alluding to middle-class prosperity and the growing importance of animals as family members. In many cases, such domestic denizens significantly complement representations of their owners. In certain others, the devotion of individual artists to their pets symbolically enhances their expressions of artistic identity. This enjoyable and informative book focuses on the role of pets in Impressionist pictures and what this reveals about art, artists, and society of that era. James H. Rubin discusses works in which artists paint themselves or their friends in the company of their pets, including several paintings by Courbet (who was fond of dogs) and Manet (a notorious lover of cats). He points out that in some works by Degas, dogs contribute to the artist's commentary on psychological and social relationships, and that in paintings by Renoir, dogs and cats have playful and erotic overtones. He also offers a theory to explain why Monet almost never painted pets. Drawing on early pet handbooks and treatises on animal intelligence, Rubin explores nineteenth-century opinions on cats and dogs and compares handbook illustrations to the animals shown in Impressionist works. He also provides fascinating information on pet ownership and on the place of Impressionism in the long history of animal painting.

Download or read book Baudelaire s Poetic Patterns written by Broome and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major new study of Baudelaire is a journey into the secret language of Les Fleurs du Mal: the expressive pliabilities of its verse-forms and syntax, the fluctuations of its rhythms, its significant sonorities, its metaphorical figures and dynamic image-patterns, its network of nerves and trigger-points, its shifting underground of parallels and contrasts, analogies and antitheses. Through a strategic selection of poems constituting a 'constellation', a formal pattern of mutually illuminating parts, the analysis aims to show that form and theme are indissoluble: that each movement in the texture of the verse, each pulse, each rise and fall, each intensification or release, not only aids and abets the thrust of the poet's inspiration but is moulding and, in the end, creating the subtleties of sense, which cannot exist but in the weft and web of the breathing, evolving text. It is a study which prioritizes the individual poem, then the poem within an expanding formation of poems, then Baudelaire within and beyond that formation: an infini dans le fini. It is also an enquiry into what makes poetry, as well as a provocative contribution to the ongoing debate on the nature of criticism.

Extrait: Le persan est une race de chat a poil long originaire d'Iran. Ce chat de taille moyenne a grande est caracterise par sa silhouette toute en rondeur et son visage au museau tres court. Reconnue depuis la fin du siecle, la race est d'abord modifiee par les Anglais, puis essentiellement par les Etats-Unis apres la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La selection menee par les eleveurs a permis le developpement d'une grande variete de robes, mais aussi d'une forme de visage tres ecrasee et controversee. De nombreuses races sont egalement issues ou ameliorees par le persan, notamment l'exotic shorthair. L'elevage du chat persan se caracterise par un entretien regulier de sa fourrure, de ses yeux et de ses oreilles. Le persan peut egalement etre atteint par une maladie hereditaire, la polykystose renale type dominant (PKD). Le caractere placide et casanier du persan lui confere une propension a la vie en appartement. Tres populaire, cette race se retrouve dans toutes les expositions felines; c'est egalement le chat de race le plus vendu dans le monde. Le persan fait de nombreuses apparitions dans les livres et le cinema. Le nom de la race fait reference a l'un des ancetres du persan, il s'agit de l'angora turc. Cette race, qui proviendrait des frontieres de la Turquie et de l'Iran, a savoir la Perse, a donne au persan le gene responsable de son pelage a poils longs. C'est pour cela que le mot persan a ete choisi pour nommer la race. Un autre ancetre presume serait une race de chat trouvee au Khorassan qui possedait de longs poils gris. Buffon decrit les chats du Khorasan comme des...
