Download or read book Experimentation and the Lyric in Contemporary French Poetry written by Jeff Barda and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimentation and the Lyric in Contemporary French Poetry offers a new theoretical approach and historical perspective on the remarkable upsurge in creative poetic practices in France that have challenged traditional definitions of poetry and of the lyric. Focusing on the work of Pierre Alferi, Olivier Cadiot, Emmanuel Hocquard, Franck Leibovici, Anne Portugal and Denis Roche, this book provides an analysis of the most influential poets in French poetry of the last few decades. It contextualizes the theoretical models that inform their investigations, analyzing them alongside the history of the avant-garde and the heated theoretical debates that have taken place over whether to continue or bring an end to the lyric. Systematically addressing the various strategies employed by these poets and drawing on reception theory and cognitive studies, Jeff Barda argues that French radical poetics re-evaluates the lyric in cognitive terms beyond the personal. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in twenty-first-century forms of experimental writing and the connections between literature and the arts today.
Download or read book Le Pouvoir et la Monnaie r flexions sur la crise et le devenir du syst me mon taire international written by René Sandretto and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1992-12-31T23:00:00+01:00 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’objectif de cet ouvrage est simple et ambitieux. II vise en effet à démystifier la complexité réputée des phénomènes monétaires internationaux tels que l’instabilité du change, le flottement des monnaies, le développement des eurodevises, la prolifération des nouveaux produits et des nouveaux instruments financiers etc. Ces manifestations mystérieuses, voire inquiétantes de la « finance internationale » sont présentées dans des termes intelligibles aux lecteurs non-initiés. En même temps, ce livre tend à faire progresser notre compréhension des désordres monétaires et financiers actuels sur la base d’une hypothèse largement ignorée dans les analyses existantes : la monnaie est plus qu’un simple instrument de paiement. Elle est aussi et surtout un instrument de pouvoir. Cette réinterprétation offre plusieurs avantages : elle intègre à l’analyse, de façon cohérente, des éléments habituellement considérés comme accidentels (la spéculation, les « chocs exogènes », etc.) ; elle éclaire également les enjeux et les perspectives de la création d’une monnaie européenne ; plus généralement, elle permet de préciser les conditions politiques préalables d’une réforme du système monétaire international en dissipant l’illusion des projets de pure technique monétaire ; elle montre enfin que les « désordres » actuels génèrent progressivement, à notre insu, un nouvel ordre totalement différent de celui qui prévalait naguère. Les lignes dévolution et les principaux contours de l’ordre monétaire mondial de demain semblent, d’ores et déjà, pouvoir être esquissés.
Download or read book Preface to Plato written by Eric A. HAVELOCK and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plato's frontal attack on poetry has always been a problem for sympathetic students, who have often minimized or avoided it. Beginning with the premise that the attack must be taken seriously, Eric Havelock shows that Plato's hostility is explained by the continued domination of the poetic tradition in contemporary Greek thought. The reason for the dominance of this tradition was technological. In a nonliterate culture, stored experience necessary to cultural stability had to be preserved as poetry in order to be memorized. Plato attacks poets, particularly Homer, as the sole source of Greek moral and technical instruction-Mr. Havelock shows how the Iliad acted as an oral encyclopedia. Under the label of mimesis, Plato condemns the poetic process of emotional identification and the necessity of presenting content as a series of specific images in a continued narrative. The second part of the book discusses the Platonic Forms as an aspect of an increasingly rational culture. Literate Greece demanded, instead of poetic discourse, a vocabulary and a sentence structure both abstract and explicit in which experience could be described normatively and analytically: in short a language of ethics and science.

Download or read book Education and the French Revolution written by H. C. Barnard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French Revolution was the first of the great social upheavals which transformed European society; its effects on the French national educational system and its wider influence on education is obviously important. Little has been written on the topic and Professor Barnard offers a modern study. He begins with a survey of the educational system under the Ancien Régime and describes the criticisms and schemes of reform which had already been offered before the Revolution. Then follow accounts of the educational activities of the revolutionary assemblies and the individual institutions set up during the period. The story ends with an account of the lasting influence of these reforms. Throughout, Professor Barnard emphasises the importance of the concept of education as a fundamental civic right and the duty of the state to provide and regulate it. The book gives the student of the history of education, of social history and modern France a useful survey of a central topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1959, Iona and Peter Opie's The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren is a pathbreaking work of scholarship that is also a splendid and enduring work of literature. Going outside the nursery, with its assortment of parent-approved entertainments, to observe and investigate the day-to-day creative intelligence and activities of children, the Opies bring to life the rites and rhymes, jokes and jeers, laws, games, and secret spells of what has been called "the greatest of savage tribes, and the only one which shows no signs of dying out."
Download or read book Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.
