This book was released on 2012-11-21 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mythologie revisitée sous l’angle de ses amours passionnées ! Les religions monothéistes – judaïsme, christianisme, islam et leurs multiples variantes – ont forgé l’image d’une divinité abstraite, dépourvue de toute sexualité, cette dernière étant d’ailleurs objet de gêne, et même de rejet. L’exemple d’Adam et Ève qui, chassés du Jardin d’Éden, prennent conscience de leur nudité et sont emplis de honte, est révélateur du véritable « blocage » des religions du Livre par rapport à la chair. Rien de tel chez les Grecs ou les Romains ! Les dieux ont une vie amoureuse et sexuelle fournie, voire débridée. Ils s’unissent entre eux, à des divinités secondaires, comme les nymphes, mais aussi aux simples mortel(le)s. La satisfaction de leurs désirs ne s’embarrasse d’aucun tabou : adultère, inceste, homosexualité, zoophilie sont pratiques courantes et d’une grande banalité. Ces amours tumultueuses forment la trame de nombreux récits mythologiques. Ils expliquent l’origine du monde, les grands événements vécus par les hommes, mais dans lesquels interviennent les dieux ; ils donnent également forme à certains archétypes de notre psychologie et de notre imaginaire. À ce titre, ils sont à la fois des contes plaisants, fantastiques ou terrifiants ; mais ils sont aussi des récits plus profonds qu’il n’y paraît et pour la compréhension desquels il nous faut, comme nous y invitait Rabelais, « briser l’os et sucer la substantifique moelle ». Ce livre offre des pièces de choix de la mythologie grecque et romaine qui regorge d’histoires érotiques et amoureuses. Les plus emblématiques ou extraordinaires, les plus sulfureuses ou les plus romantiques figurent ici et sont racontées avec verve et détails. Des récits anciens et fabuleux, direz-vous ? Lisez de plus près, vous serez étonné de leur étrange modernité.

This book was released on 2018-01-10T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Où se trouvent les champs Élysées ? Qui rejoignons-nous quand nous tombons dans les bras de Morphée ? Quelle est la vraie histoire du complexe d’Œdipe ? D’où viennent les virus informatiques qu’on appelle « chevaux de Troie » ? Qui était la première des égéries ? Que risquons-nous à ouvrir une boîte de Pandore ? De quoi le narcissisme est-il le nom ? Qui répond quand nous entendons notre écho ?La mythologie grecque, et sa petite sœur, la mythologie romaine, nourrissent la langue courante et donnent du sens à des réalités qui, sans elles, auraient sans doute moins de charme et de saveur. À partir de 100 mots, ce sont autant d’histoires que nous conte Joël Schmidt. Parcours forcément subjectif, et pour cette raison sensible, ce recueil d’histoires souvent méconnues, ou que l’on croit connaître, nous plonge dans l’univers des Anciens, peuplé de dieux et de nymphes, chargé de signes et de sens, univers poétique, qui est le berceau de notre civilisation.

Download or read book Divine Names on the Spot written by Fabio Porzia and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.'
Download or read book Religion and Power written by Nicole Maria Brisch and published by Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures. This book was released on 2008 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a collection of contributions presented during the Third Annual University of Chicago Oriental Institute Seminar Religion and Power: Divine Kingship in the Ancient World and Beyond, held at the Oriental Institute, February 23-24, 2007. The purpose of this conference was to examine more closely concepts of kingship in various regions of the world and in different time periods. The study of kingship goes back to the roots of fields such as anthropology and religious studies, as well as Assyriology and Near Eastern archaeology. More recently, several conferences have been held on kingship, drawing on cross-cultural comparisons. Yet the question of the divinity of the king as god has never before been examined within the framework of a cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary conference. Some of the recent anthropological literature on kingship relegates this question of kings who deified themselves to the background or voices serious misgivings about the usefulness of the distinction between divine and sacred kings. Several contributors to this volume have pointed out the Western, Judeo-Christian background of our categories of the human and the divine. However, rather than abandoning the term divine kingship because of its loaded history it is more productive to examine the concept of divine kingship more closely from a new perspective in order to modify our understanding of this term and the phenomena associated with it.

Book excerpt: Black Skin, White Masks is a classic, devastating account of the dehumanising effects of colonisation experienced by black subjects living in a white world. First published in English in 1967, this book provides an unsurpassed study of the psychology of racism using scientific analysis and poetic grace.Franz Fanon identifies a devastating pathology at the heart of Western culture, a denial of difference, that persists to this day.

Download or read book Blue White Red written by Alain Mabanckou and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mabanckou dazzles with technical dexterity and emotional depth” in his debut novel, winner of the Grand Prix Littéraire de l’Afrique Noire (Publishers Weekly, starred review). This tale of wild adventure reveals the dashed hopes of Africans living between worlds. When Moki returns to his village from France wearing designer clothes and affecting all the manners of a Frenchman, Massala-Massala, who lives the life of a humble peanut farmer after giving up his studies, begins to dream of following in Moki’s footsteps. Together, the two take wing for Paris, where Massala-Massala finds himself a part of an underworld of out-of-work undocumented immigrants. After a botched attempt to sell metro passes purchased with a stolen checkbook, he winds up in jail and is deported. Blue White Red is a novel of postcolonial Africa where young people born into poverty dream of making it big in the cities of their former colonial masters. Alain Mabanckou’s searing commentary on the lives of Africans in France is cut with the parody of African villagers who boast of a son in the country of Digol. Praise for Alain Mabanckou and Blue White Red “Mabanckou counts as one of the most successful voices of young African literature.” —Internationales Literaturfestival Berlin “The African Beckett.” —The Economist “Blue White Red stands at the beginning of the author’s remarkable and multifaceted career as a novelist, essayist and poet . . . this debut novel shows much of his style and substance in remarkable ways . . . Dundy’s translation is excellent.” —Africa Book Club “Mabanckou’s provocative novel probes the many facets of the ‘migration adventure.’” —Booklist
Download or read book Beauvoir in Time written by Meryl Altman and published by Value Inquiry Book. This book was released on 2020 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beauvoir in Time situates Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex in the historical context of its writing and in later contexts of its international reception, from then till now. The book takes up three aspects of Beauvoir's work more recent feminists find embarrassing: "bad sex," "dated" views about lesbians, and intersections with race and class. Through close reading of her writing in many genres, alongside contemporaneous discourses (good and bad novels in French and English, outmoded psychoanalytic and sexological authorities, ethnographic surrealism, the writing of Richard Wright and Franz Fanon), and in light of her travels to the U.S. and China, the author uncovers insights more recent feminist methodologies obscure, showing Beauvoir is still good to think with today"--
Download or read book The Divine Vision of Dante s Paradiso written by William Franke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canto XVIII of Paradiso, Dante sees thirty-five letters of Scripture - LOVE JUSTICE, YOU WHO RULE THE EARTH - 'painted' one after the other in the sky. It is an epiphany that encapsulates the Paradiso, staging its ultimate goal - the divine vision. This book offers a fresh, intensive reading of this extraordinary passage at the heart of the third canticle of the Divine Comedy. While adapting in novel ways the methods of the traditional lectura Dantis, William Franke meditates independently on the philosophical, theological, political, ethical, and aesthetic ideas that Dante's text so provocatively projects into a multiplicity of disciplinary contexts. This book demands that we question not only what Dante may have meant by his representations, but also what they mean for us today in the broad horizon of our intellectual traditions and cultural heritage.

Download or read book Religion Reason and Nature in Early Modern Europe written by R. Crocker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a variety of perspectives, the essays presented here explore the profound interdependence of natural philosophy and rational religion in the `long seventeenth century' that begins with the burning of Bruno in 1600 and ends with the Enlightenment in the early Eighteenth century. From the writings of Grotius on natural law and natural religion, and the speculative, libertin novels of Cyrano de Bergerac, to the better-known works of Descartes, Malebranche, Cudworth, Leibniz, Boyle, Spinoza, Newton, and Locke, an increasing emphasis was placed on the rational relationship between religious doctrine, natural law, and a personal divine providence. While evidence for this intrinsic relationship was to be located in different places - in the ideas already present in the mind, in the observations and experiments of the natural philosophers, and even in the history, present experience, and prophesied future of mankind - the result enabled and shaped the broader intellectual and scientific discourses of the Enlightenment.
