Download or read book Les 100 discours qui ont marqu le XXe si cle written by Catherine Lanneau and published by Renaissance du livre. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 908 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si tout le monde a en tête le Je vous ai compris de De Gaulle, le Un rideau de fer s'est abattu à travers le continent européen de Churchill ou le Ich bin ein Berliner de Kennedy, peu en revanche connaissent vraiment le reste des discours d’où proviennent ces fameuses paroles et encore moins les contextes historiques. Ce livre offre donc la possibilité d’aller au-delà de ces “phrases choc” en permettant la lecture des différents discours dans leur entièreté, tout en resituant chacun d’entre eux dans son époque. S'inscrivant dans la démarche d’Eric J. Hobsbawm, l'équipe inter-universitaire et pluridisciplinaire de politologues et d'historiens à la base du présent ouvrage retrace l'histoire de ce court XXe siècle à travers les grands discours qui l'ont marqué et qui l'ont façonné. Ce livre comprend une introduction générale ainsi qu'une contextualisation historique de chaque discours. De plus, les nombreux renvois qui sont présentés permettent au lecteur de suivre l'évolution d'une même problématique à travers le temps : colonisation, guerre froide, décolonisation, etc. Parmi les discours repris dans cet ouvrage, on trouve ceux de : Jaurès (“La Volonté de paix de la France”, 1914) ; Gandhi (“Sur la non violence”, 1922) ; Hitler (“Premier discours aux généraux”, 1933) ; de Gaulle (“L’appel du 18 juin”, 1940) ; Pie XII (“Discours de Noël 1942”) ; Truman (“Annonce du largage de la première bombe atomique sur Hiroshima”, 1945) ; Hirohito (“Capitulation de l’Empereur”, 1945) ; Churchill (“Un rideau de fer est descendu à travers le continent”, 1946) ; Mac Carthy (“Des communistes au Département d’État”, 1950) ; Khrouchtchev (“Nous devons abolir le culte de la personne”, 1956) ; Roi Baudouin (“L’indépendance du Congo”, 1960) ; Kennedy (“Ich bin ein Berliner”, 1963) ; Nixon (“Démission de la Présidence”, 1974) ; Deng Xiaoping (“Allocution d’ouverture du XII Congrès”, 1982) ; Arafat (“Proclamation d’un État Palestinien”, 1988) ; Havel (“La souffrance crée l’obligation d’être juste”, 1990) ; Gorbatchev (“Je mets fin à mes fonctions de Président de l’URSS”, 1991) ; Mandela (“Déclaration d’investiture”, 1994) ; Rabin (“Le peuple israélien aspire à la paix”, 1995) ; Jean-Paul II (“Construisons un avenir nouveau”, 2000).

Book excerpt: « Je vous ai compris ! », « Ich bin ein Berliner », « I have a dream ».. Nous connaissons tous ces citations fameuses, qui à elles seules racontent un moment crucial de l'Histoire. Mais savons-nous dans quel contexte elles ont été prononcées; quelle argumentation, quelle rhétorique les ont portées; en quoi elles symbolisent cette ultime magie du politique qu'est la rencontre d'un homme et d'une foule ? De Jaurès à Obama, en passant par Lénine, Hitler, de Gaulle, Mao Zedong, Martin Luther King, Simone Veil ou Jean-Paul II, ce recueil rassemble les grands discours qui ont marqué le XXe et le début du XXIe siècle. Les voix de ces orateurs, hommes et femmes providentiels, chefs charismatiques ou despotes tristement célèbres, nous font revivre « en direct » les événements de l'histoire contemporaine (la Résistance, la guerre froide, la création de l'Etat d'Israël...); elles nous renvoient l'écho des débats et des combats qui, au fil du siècle, n'ont cessé d'agiter les consciences: pour la paix et l'égalité entre les hommes; contre la pauvreté, la discrimination ou la peine de mort.. Lire ou relire ces discours, c'est parcourir notre histoire, mais aussi redécouvrir la puissance de la parole et le sens profond de l'engagement.

Download or read book The Rhetoric of Religion written by Kenneth Burke and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1970-04 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "But the point of Burke's work, and the significance of his achievement, is not that he points out that religion and language affect each other, for this has been said before, but that he proceeds to demonstrate how this is so by reference to a specific symbolic context. After a discussion 'On Words and The Word,' he analysess verbal action in St. Augustine's Confessions. He then discusses the first three chapters of Genesis, and ends with a brilliant and profound 'Prologue in Heaven,' an imaginary dialogue between the Lord and Satan in which he proposes that we begin our study of human motives with complex theories of transcendence,' rather than with terminologies developed in the use of simplified laboratory equipment. . . . Burke now feels, after some forty years of search, that he has created a model of the symbolic act which breaks through the rigidities of the 'sacred-secular' dichotomy, and at the same time shows us how we get from secular and sacred realms of action over the bridge of language. . . . Religious systems are systems of action based on communication in society. They are great social dramas which are played out on earth before an ultimate audience, God. But where theology confronts the developed cosmological drama in the 'grand style,' that is, as a fully developed cosmological drama for its religious content, the 'logologer' can be further studied not directly as knowledge but as anecdotes that help reveal for us the quandaries of human governance." --Hugh Dalziel Duncan from Critical Responses to Kenneth Burke, 1924 - 1966, edited by William H. Rueckert (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1969).

Book excerpt: Hoewel enorm invloedrijk in Duitstalig Europa, heeft de conceptuele geschiedschrijving (Begriffsgeschichte) tot nu toe weinig aandacht in het Engels gekregen. Dit genre van intellectuele geschiedschrijving verschilt van zowel de Franse geschiedschrijving van mentalités als de Engelstalige geschiedschrijving van verhandelingen door het concept. Aan de hand van practische voorbeelden in de geschiedschrijving wordt deze vorm toegelicht door Bram Kempers, Eddy de Jongh en Rolf Reichardt.
Download or read book The Sounds of Early Cinema written by Richard Abel and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2001-10-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sounds of Early Cinema is devoted exclusively to a little-known, yet absolutely crucial phenomenon: the ubiquitous presence of sound in early cinema. "Silent cinema" may rarely have been silent, but the sheer diversity of sound(s) and sound/image relations characterizing the first 20 years of moving picture exhibition can still astonish us. Whether instrumental, vocal, or mechanical, sound ranged from the improvised to the pre-arranged (as in scripts, scores, and cue sheets). The practice of mixing sounds with images differed widely, depending on the venue (the nickelodeon in Chicago versus the summer Chautauqua in rural Iowa, the music hall in London or Paris versus the newest palace cinema in New York City) as well as on the historical moment (a single venue might change radically, and many times, from 1906 to 1910).

Book excerpt: SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work looks at the surge of Bretons who left their homes in Western France in the latter half of the 19th century to live and work in Paris. Portrayed as backward, ignorant peasants they found no welcome until after WWII. Moch positions her work within immigration theory, connecting migration studies to theories about state projects of assimilation and about cultures of inclusion and exclusion.
Download or read book After Mass Crime written by Beatrice Pouligny (et.al) and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International interventions in the aftermath of mass violence tend to focus on justice and reconciliation processes, elections and institution-building. The frame of reference tends to be at the state level with insufficient attention paid to the transformations of belief systems and codes of conduct. This book seeks to bridge this divide by offering a trans-disciplinary analysis of the impact of mass crime on the rebuilding of social and political relations. Drawing on historical and more recent cases (including examples from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Burundi, Cambodia, Indonesia, Peru, and Rwanda) the authors examine the impact of mass crimes on individuals, society at large, and the organizations involved in providing assistance in the post-conflict phase.
Download or read book Terra 2008 written by Leslie Rainer and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
Download or read book The European Landscape Convention written by Michael Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.

Download or read book Blurred Boundaries written by Rainer Bauböck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume examines new forms of cultural diversity which result from migration and globalization. Historically, most liberal democracies have developed on the basis of national cultures – either a single one, or a dominant one, or a federation of several ones. However, political and economic developments have upset traditional patterns and have blurred established boundaries. Ongoing immigration from diverse origins has inserted new ethnic minorities into formerly homogenous populations. Democratic liberties and rights provided opportunities for old and new marginalized minorities to resist assimilation and to assert identities. The resulting pattern of multiculturalism is different from earlier ones. Often cultural boundaries are neither clearly defined nor do they simply dissolve by assimilation into a dominant group – they have become fuzzy and a constant source of real or imagined hostility and anxiety. A proliferation of mixed identities goes together with stronger claims for cultural rights and escalating hostilities between ethnic minorities and national majorities. In many countries multiculturalism is today perceived as a challenge rather than as an enrichment. The book focuses on the question how institution and policies of liberal democracies can cope with these trends. The book addresses two tasks: 1) To compare different national contexts and types of ethnic groups (immigrant and indigenous, linguistic and religious minorities) and to discuss how policies of multicultural integration have to be adapted in order to cope with such differences. 2) To evaluate the impact of common rends of globalization which link societies and encourage convergence between national models of multicultural integration.
