Download or read book Autour de l extr me litt raire written by Alastair Hemmens and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extreme is an essential aspect of contemporary experience. Thrill-seekers spend the weekend in the search of the adrenaline rush of “extreme sports”. In the political arena, the world has begun to rediscover the split between the “extreme” left and the “extreme” right. Through 24-hour rolling news, images of violence, torture and war are televised unremittingly into the living room; while the Internet places hardcore pornography, snuff film and cannibalism within easy reach of anyone with a personal computer or a smartphone. The “extreme” has even become a quality companies seek to associate with the most banal of commodities such as ice cream and hair gel. These different manifestations of extremity suggest a contradictory, even paradoxical, relationship with the “extreme”. The contributors to this book explore how writing in French, from the Middle Ages to the present day, has interrogated extremity. Taken together, these essays demonstrate that the quality of the extreme can be applied to a great number of texts for different reasons and from myriad perspectives. Moreover, the extreme is revealed as a quality both distinct from, and in tension with, the crossing of boundaries associated with transgression. It is a movement towards and away from a centre of radiation that escapes cultural norms without necessarily reinforcing them. This sensation of rushing and wandering outside the boundaries of what is considered safe and normal provides the extreme with its adrenaline-charged response of excitement or horror. The analyses contained in this volume consider a number of manifestations of the “extrême littéraire”. The ambiguities of gender in medieval romance are explored in the context of the Arthurian court. The 19th century is examined through the prose poems of Baudelaire and the littérature sauvage of the Zutistes. The difficulties of writing the trauma of war and genocide in the 20th century are discussed through the work of Jorges Semprún and Agota Kristof. The contemporary extreme in French literature is examined in the autofiction of Christine Angot, the work of Annie Ernaux and Catherine Millet, the controversial novels of Michel Houellebecq, and the worldwide influence of the Marquis de Sade on writing today. Whilst the “extrême littéraire” may have a wide variety of expressions in French literature, it is always outside, beyond and far from the centre of our everyday experience. It shocks us, excites us and horrifies us, often all at once. This book seeks to provide an insight into how and why the extreme has fascinated, and continues to fascinate, the French literary imagination.
Download or read book Interpreting Technology written by Wessel Reijers and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Ricœur has been one of the most influential and intellectually challenging philosophers of the last century, and his work has contributed to a vast array of fields: studies of language, of history, of ethics and politics. However, he has up until recently only had a minor impact on the philosophy of technology. Interpreting Technology aims to put Ricœur’s work at the centre of contemporary philosophical thinking concerning technology. It investigates his project of critical hermeneutics for rethinking established theories of technology, the growing ethical and political impacts of technologies on the modern lifeworld, and ways of analysing global sociotechnical systems such as the Internet. Ricœur’s philosophy allows us to approach questions such as: how could narrative theory enhance our understanding of technological mediation? How can our technical practices be informed by the ethical aim of living the good life, with and for others, in just institutions? And how does the emerging global media landscape shape our sense of self, and our understanding of history? These questions are more timely than ever, considering the enormous impact technologies have on daily life in the 21st century: on how we shape ourselves with health apps, how we engage with one-another through social media, and how we act politically through digital platforms.

Download or read book Alzheimer written by Bruno Dubois and published by Grasset. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C’est l’une des maladies les plus craintes par les Français, mais aussi l’une de celles que le public connait le moins. C’est le grand mal du siècle, appelé à devenir dans les prochaines années la première préoccupation de santé de nos sociétés, mais un mal que la Recherche et la médecine ne savent pas encore soigner. Pourtant, à terme, il est probable que chacun connaîtra, dans son entourage, un proche atteint de la maladie d’Alzheimer. Les chiffres sont connus : 47 millions de cas de démence dans le monde, plus de 800 000 patients en France, 140 000 nouveaux cas chaque année, avec la perspective de voir ces chiffres doubler d'ici l'an 2030. Près de 20 % des sujets âgés de plus 80 ans en sont atteints. Les syndromes aussi : troubles de la mémoire, perte d’autonomie, démence, apathie progressive. Mais qu’est-ce, précisément, que cette maladie qui nous vole ce que nous avons de plus précieux, nos souvenirs et notre identité ? Qu’est-ce qui, dans le cerveau, dysfonctionne ? Comment la diagnostique-t-on ? Oublier le nom d’untel ou un mot doit-il suffire à nous alarmer ? Et comment la soigne-t-on ? Où en est la recherche ? Un médicament pourrait-il un jour être trouvé ou faut-il nous résoudre à voir de plus en plus d’hommes et de femmes sombrer dans l’oubli ? Quel sera alors le rôle de l’Etat ? Pour répondre à ces questions, et pour la première fois, le spécialiste de la maladie d’Alzheimer, le neurologue Bruno Dubois prend la parole et nous dit tout. Ce qu’est la maladie (I) : comment elle affecte les patients, l’entourage et la société. Comment on la prend en charge, ce que la société en sait. Son histoire (II) : du premier cas diagnostiqué par Alois Alzheimer aux différents plans présidentiels en passant par les aventures médicales et scientifiques qui ont permis de mieux la cerner. Ce que nous pouvons espérer (III). Le suivre dans cette épopée scientifique et ce cours magistral, c’est partager l’expérience d’un neurologue chevronné qui a contribué à définir la maladie pour mieux la vaincre ; comment il a dû se battre pour la faire reconnaitre comme une maladie spécifique, pour obtenir certains appareils nécessaires au diagnostic, pour informer aussi, et aller contre les inepties relayées par les médias, d’après lesquelles un carré de chocolat pourrait prévenir ou même guérir ; comment il se bat aujourd’hui pour lever des fonds. Dans cet ouvrage passionnant, il met enfin des mots sur cette maladie redoutée et livre sans fard toute la vérité sur Alzheimer. Un document choc, nécessaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La maladie d’Alzheimer est-elle uniquement en rapport avec une altération du cerveau ?Est décrit ici ce que nous en savons, mais aussi ce que l’on nous cache, comme le rôle catalyseur du déterminisme psychologique et du narcissisme, l’inefficacité des médicaments actuels, la contrainte perverse du dogme du maintien à domicile, l’horreur de la prise en charge institutionnelle et les retentissements néfastes sur la vie des familles. Le déclin progressif de la mémoire, du jugement et de la raison est surtout causé par la peur de se voir vieillir, la hantise de la maladie, la terreur de mourir. Ces patients sont certes malades mais ils sont surtout malades de peur. Ils « choisissent » de sombrer dans la démence, ils « préfèrent » l’oubli. « Être et ne pas être », tel est le choix délétère des alzheimériens.À travers la description de plusieurs cas concrets, les mécanismes sournois d’apparition de la maladie d’Alzheimer apparaissent clairement. Se laisser aller à l’angoisse de la mort fait courir un risque psychique majeur. C’est en refusant le déni et en acceptant notre condition d’être mortel que nous ne perdrons pas la raison. Nous devons garder notre mort présente à l’esprit pour éviter la mort de notre esprit.
