Download or read book The Science of Proof written by E. Claire Cage and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science of Proof traces the rise of forensic medicine in late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century France and examines its implications for our understanding of expert authority. Tying real life cases to broader debates, the book analyzes how new forms of medical and scientific knowledge, many of which were pioneered in France, were contested, but ultimately accepted, and applied to legal problems and the administration of justice. The growing authority of medical experts in the French legal arena was nonetheless subject to sharp criticism and scepticism. The professional development of medicolegal expertise and its influence in criminal courts sparked debates about the extent to which it could reveal truth, furnish legal proof, and serve justice. Drawing on a wide base of archival and printed sources, Claire Cage reveals tensions between uncertainty about the reliability of forensic evidence and a new confidence in the power of scientific inquiry to establish guilt, innocence, and legal responsibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pour la Couronne et le Dragon Nous sommes dans les dernières années du XVIIIe siècle, mais dans un monde que peu de gens reconnaîtraient. Les Européens s'abritent dans de petits îlots de sécurité, refuges de la nature sauvage et enchantée - les étranges forêts sans limites que les gens appellent le Tumble. C'est à travers ce paysage hanté par les démons que l'officier de basse naissance Taliesin doit mener ses hommes, pris dans les intrigues les plus meurtrières tout en menant des guerres pour une classe noble qui le méprise. Avec des meurtriers vicieux issus des pires caniveaux du royaume marchant derrière lui, et les forces des nations les plus puissantes du continent dressées contre lui, les chances sont contre Taliesin. De toute évidence. Pourtant, il continuera à se battre, à affronter des armées, des sorciers, des assassins, des hommes-bêtes et à croiser la route de l'enfer lui-même. Pas par loyauté, ni par respect pour son monarque intrigant, ni même pour la petite montagne d'argent que la reine de l'île lui a promise s'il réussit. Mais parce que le combat est tout ce que lui et sa bande de voleurs et d'égorgeurs ont toujours connu. *** Livre 1 de la duologie Triple Realm. 1. Pour la couronne et le dragon. 2.

Download or read book Patriarchy in Practice written by Nikki van der Gaag and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection covers a diverse and multi-disciplinary range of topics on how masculinities might be re-imagined outside of patriarchal power structures. Crucially, the book highlights the lived complexity of both patriarchies and masculinities as plural and situated, exploring questions of how they are constructed, negotiated and re-negotiated in daily practice; of how performative regimes interact, contradict and overlap with each other across a range of contexts. Contributors engage with theoretical frameworks engaging with feminist theory, contemporary politics of gender, bodies and marginalised experiences of masculinites. Global case studies are wide-ranging and include analysis of masculinity among communities such as drag artists, InCels and e-sports enthusiasts, as well as in the context of the body, for instance in relation to alcoholism and physical disability. In an era of resurgence of typically hegemonic patriarchal figures in the form of 'strong men' leadership, this book seeks to uncover what an alternative vision of masculinity could look like - one that is firmly rooted in a gender equality and feminist discourse.
Download or read book French Theatre Orientalism and the Representation of India 1770 1865 written by David Hammerbeck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the French theatricalization of India from 1770 to 1865 and how a range of plays not only represented India to the French viewing public but also staged issues within French culture including colonialism, imperialism, race, gender, and national politics. Through examining these texts and available performance history, and incorporating historical texts and cultural theory, David Hammerback analyses these works to illustrate a complex of cultural representations: some contested Orientalism, some participated in Western colonialist discourses, while some can be placed somewhere between these two markers of ideology in Western culture and the arts. He also assesses the works which participated in shaping the theatrical face of Western hegemony, ones directly participating in Orientalism as delineated by Edward Said and others. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre, French literature, history and cultural studies.
Download or read book Birth and Death in Nineteenth Century French Culture written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume draws contributors from around the globe who represent the full range of approaches to scholarship in nineteenth-century French studies: historical, literary, cultural, art historical, philosophical, and comparative. The theme of the volume – Birth and Death – is one with particular resonance for nineteenth-century French studies, since the nineteenth century is commonly perceived as an age of new life and renovation. It is the epoch that witnessed an efflorescence of industrial and artistic progress, the birth of the individual and the birth of the novel, and the creation of an urban population in the major demographic shift from the rural provinces to Paris. At the same time, however, it is the century of Decadence and degeneration theory, marked by a prominent morbid aesthetic in the artistic sphere and a fascination with criminality, moral decay and the pathologization of racial and sexual minorities in the scientific discourses. It is also the century in which reflection on processes of artistic creation begins to problematize concepts of mimetic representation, the function of the author and the status of the text. In the context of the dialectical quality of nineteenth-century French culture, caught between an obsession with the new and innovative and a paranoid sense of its own encroaching decay, the twin themes of birth and death open onto a variety of issues – literary, social, historical, artistic – which are explored, interrogated and reassessed in the essays contained in this volume.

This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.
