Download or read book Murder in Parisian Streets written by Thomas Cragin and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Murder in Parisian Streets Thomas Cragin provides an in-depth study of the production, sale, and content of the canards. He demonstrates their significance to nineteenth-century culture, even their role in determining the emerging tabloid's success. Cragin explores the incremental creation of textual meaning in the canards' authorship, production, distribution, and consumption. He exposes the power of oral traditions as well as modern marketing at work upon this popular news literature. The canards challenge our assumptions about the nineteenth century's revolution in print and reorient our understanding of cultural creation through textual construction."--Jacket.

Download or read book France 1800 1914 written by Roger Magraw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century France was a society of apparent paradoxes. It is famous for periodic and bloody revolutionary upheavals, for class conflict and for religious disputes, yet it was marked by relative demographic stability, gradual urbanisation and modest economic change, class conflict and ongoing religious and cultural tensions. Incorporating much recent research, Roger Magraw draws both upon still-valuable insights derived from the 'new social history' of the 1960s and upon more recent approaches suggested by gender history , cultural anthropology and the 'linguistic turn'.

This book was released on 1982-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis le début de ce siècle circule à Cavanac, près de Carcassonne, un manuscrit anonyme qui relate en détail une biographie, celle de Pierre Sourgnes, dit l’Antougnou. Le « roman » nous apprend qu’à la suite du différend qui l’opposa à sa mère à propos d’une passion amoureuse, le jeune homme, dans l’été de 1837, prit le maquis ; sa carrière de brigand, riche en coups d’éclat s’acheva tragiquement quatre ans plus tard... Dans la multitude des récits que suscita la brièveté intense de cette vie, Dominique Blanc et Daniel Fabre ont isolé les trois canevas qui donnent à ce destin un sens tout différent. La « vérit頻 de l’Antougnou n’est que le système complet de ces variantes : il est tour à tour criminel monstrueux, bandit d’honneur et passionné révolté contre l’ordre du village, selon la position que chaque narrateur, chaque groupe social lui assigne. Depuis une vingtaine d’années, ethnologues et historiens débattent du bandit, opposant la réalité de ses méfaits aux prestiges illusoires de sa légende ou remplaçant la singularité insaisissable du brigand par l’anonymat du brigandage. Le cas de l’Antougnou invite à déplacer la perspective. La biographie du brigand est bien le lieu où s’affrontent toujours des fictions contradictoires mais elle offre aussi, depuis le XVIIIe siècle, l’occasion de fonder, sur l’écrit et l’image, un héros singulier autour duquel se cristallise toute l’histoire autochtone.

Download or read book Islam in the Political Process written by James P. Piscatori and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1983-03-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iranian revolution greatly aroused outsiders' curiosity and misunderstanding of Islam. The relatively easy overthrow of the Shah and the pronouncements of the new Iranian regime brought to the forefront an image of 'militant Islam' which has survived in one form or another since the Crusades. At the time, there was the assumption in the West that Islam was inevitably revolutionary, militant, or at least anti-Western and that the Iranian example was likely to be repeated in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and other countries where Muslims predominated. Originally published in paperback in 1983, this book was designed to examine such assumptions and to analyse the complex roles which Islam plays in the political process of several countries. Although the authors called upon the insights of various disciplines, and chose different approaches, they all shared the conviction that the idea of 'Islamic politics' needed to be made specific if crude stereotypes about Islam were to be avoided.
