Download or read book Etudes de la Poesie de Jacques Prevert written by Mary E. Belanger and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The numerous books and articles written on Jacques Prévert concentrate on his career achievements in the areas of theater, music, cinema and art as well as his influence in the Surrealist Movement. In the introduction of this thesis, I show that Prévert made an equally important contribution in the field of poetry, which is frequently overlooked because of its simplistic nature. Although Prévert wrote many collected works of poetry, I have chosen to limit this study to his first collection of poems, Paroles . I have tried to show how Prévert attacks the values of the middle class, the Church and the military. This study is divided into three parts; the first, devoted to the theme of religion. This part of the thesis points out how the poet frequently uses the tool of insolence to make a point in both earthly and heavenly domains. I also show how he tends to mix themes together such as religion and war through his selection of vocabulary. The second part of the thesis concentrates on the aspect of daily life, divided into two areas of emphasis: routine and isolation. This part of the thesis reveals aspects of his most frequently used subject, the condition of human life. His usage of common and marginal characters help the reader comprehend his ordinary messages about daily routine and feelings of isolation in human life. The third part of the thesis deals with memories and destruction. There are two facets of life analyzed: nostalgia and the consequences of war. Many of the selected poems take a menacing turn as they contrast the duality of life and death. The conclusion underlines the fact that many of the difficulties which existed during the time Prévert wrote this collection of poetry still exist today. Religion, daily life and war remain issues which apply to human life regardless of the decade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dusan Makavejev's controversial and explicit WR - Mysteries of the Organism (1971), 'WR' is Wilhelm Reich, the Marxist psychoanalyst who preached sexual enlightenment as a gateway to a better society. Reich is a 'intellectual maverick' and 'sexual pioneer', and theorist of 'Orgone energy' and 'world revolution'. Loosely inspired by Reich's 'The Function of the Orgasm' WR stages an encounter between psychotherapy and Marxism, sexual permissiveness and socialism. Juxtaposing hippie America and cold war Yugoslavia, it is a film of ideas and sensations which speaks to the contemporary world. It was banned in Yugoslavia, under pressure from Moscow, as politically offensive. This book explores the film and how its spectators interact with it.

Download or read book From Babel to Pentecost written by Mary Anne O'Neil and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most prolific and versatile French poet of the mid-twentieth century, Pierre Emmanuel's oeuvre spans five decades and an astonishing array of forms, from epics and love sonnets to patriotic works and prayers. The first full-length study of his works in English, From Babel to Pentecost brings Emmanuel's works to a new generation and a new readership. Mary Anne O'Neil's meticulous study of Emmanuel's complete works traces the poet's development as a thinker and artist while surveying both French and English scholarship on Emmanuel from the 1940s to the present. Employing close readings of poems as well as intertextual and psychoanalytic approaches, O'Neil draws connections between Emmanuel's influences, vocabulary, imagery, and meters, while translations allow English-language readers to engage directly with the texts. O'Neil's insightful commentary sheds light on the poet's relationship to movements in European poetry, to poets of Classical Greece, the Latin Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, and to sacred Hebrew, Hindu, and Buddhist verse. Keenly attuned to the changing world around him, Pierre Emmanuel exemplifies a poet's power to clarify the human condition, to move, and to teach. From Babel to Pentecost enables readers to rediscover the enduring richness and relevance of his work.
