Download or read book Le mensonge written by Kate Averis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays considers the political, social, literary and artistic impact of the pervasive dichotomy of truth and lies in the context of French society and culture. A fundamental element of our social existance, the notion of le mensonge underpins how we participate in and respond to all aspects of society, from the political process to the capacity of art, literature and other aesthetic forms to fulfill a representative function. This book explores the ways in which French society and culture is regulated by the overriding oppositional structure of truth and lies, and the impact this has on both collective and individual existence. The theme brings together research from diverse disciplines of the Humanities, from political science to literature, film, music and visual arts, in a work that will be of great relevance to a wide range of students and researchers alike. As such, the theme serves as a means of gaining an insight into the range and scope of research currently being conducted in French studies. The book will be useful as a support text for a range of academic courses including those in the fields of cultural studies, literary studies, political studies and sociology. On a larger scale, it posits the theme’s potential to develop as an independent area of study, and offers a starting point for future academic study devoted to the idea of le mensonge.

Download or read book Le Mythe Du Sale Boche written by Benton L. Bradberry and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comme l’indique le titre, Le mythe du sale boche, les Allemands ne sont pas les ultimes « vilains » de l’histoire. Ils ne sont pas non plus, comme le veut la version officielle, les saboteurs de la paix européenne et la cause des deux Guerres mondiales du siècle dernier. Les atrocités qu’ils auraient soi-disant perpétrées durant ces conflits armés furent inventées de toute pièce par la propagande alliée afin d’obtenir l'appui de l'opinion publique. La propagande de la Shoah, qui est apparue après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a par ailleurs grandement contribué à consolider cette haine du « sale boche ». Mais cette version officielle de l’histoire est-elle véridique ? L'Allemagne est-elle réellement l'incarnation du mal absolu ? Dans ce livre, l'auteur brosse un tableau différent. Il explique en effet que l'Allemagne n'était la cause ni de la Première ni de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mais dans les deux cas, la victime de l’agression des alliés. L'instabilité engendrée par la guerre 14-18 a permis à la révolution bolchévique russe de 1917 d’éclater, ce qui a apporté au monde le communisme. Or, Hitler et l'Allemagne ont tout de suite compris que le communisme international, de sa base en Union soviétique, était une menace existentielle non seulement pour l'Occident, mais pour toute la civilisation chrétienne. L'Allemagne hitlérienne a dès lors amorcé une lutte à mort contre cette idéologie sanguinaire. Loin d'être le saboteur de la paix européenne, l'Allemagne, en s’érigeant en rempart, a donc empêché la révolution bolchévique de s’étendre à toute l'Europe. Il est dommage que les alliés n'aient pas vu la Russie communiste sous le même jour que l’Allemagne. Cette alliance entre les pays occidentaux et le communisme a eu des conséquences désastreuses sur la civilisation occidentale chrétienne. L'auteur se dit convaincu que la France, la Grande-Bretagne et les États-Unis se sont battus du mauvais côté.

  • Author : Stein Tonnesson
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2010
  • ISBN : 0520269934
  • Pages : 388 pages

Download or read book Vietnam 1946 written by Stein Tonnesson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vietnam 1946 is a masterful narrative of the immediate origins of the first Vietnam War. It is, by turns, vivid and shocking; it is always immensely revealing. Tønnesson brings forensic clarity to crucial events about which, even now, some sixty years later, fundamental misapprehensions exist. An outstanding work of scholarship of major international importance."—Martin Thomas, author of Empires of Intelligence "Tønnesson captures brilliantly the 1946 confrontation between two republics: France determined to redeem itself from Axis humiliation by regaining Indochina; Vietnam equally determined to retake independence after eighty years of colonial servitude. Tønnesson also demonstrates, however, that some leaders on each side really wanted a peaceful, mutually beneficial outcome. Descent into full-scale war was not inevitable. This is a carefully researched, clearly written analysis of a vital moment in the 20th century history of both countries. It is also a meditation on the elusive boundary between free will and determinism in human affairs."—David Marr, author of Vietnamese Tradition on Trial, 1920-1945 “Stein Tønnesson's Vietnam 1946 answers the fundamental question about the first of Vietnam's 20th century wars, the one fought against the French: how did it happen? He has written a meticulously researched account which restores their contingency to the events. The first Indochina war, like those that succeeded it, was not inevitable and Tønnesson explains why and how it happened anyway.”—Marilyn Young, author of The Vietnam Wars 1945-1990

Book The Enigma of Good and Evil  The Moral Sentiment in Literature

Download or read book The Enigma of Good and Evil The Moral Sentiment in Literature written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-08-27 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striking toward peace and harmony the human being is ceasely torn apart in personal, social, national life by wars, feuds, inequities and intimate personal conflicts for which there seems to be no respite. Does the human condition in interaction with others imply a constant adversity? Or, is this conflict owing to an interior or external factor of evil governing our attitudes and conduct toward the other person? To what criteria should I refer for appreciation, judgment, direction concerning my attitudes and my actions as they bear on the well-being of others? At the roots of these questions lies human experience which ought to be appropriately clarified before entering into speculative abstractions of the ethical theories and precepts. Literature, which in its very gist, dwells upon disentangling in multiple perspective the peripeteia of our life-experience offers us a unique field of source-material for moral and ethical investigations. Literature brings preeminently to light the Moral Sentiment which pervades our life with others -- our existence tout court. Being modulated through the course of our experiences the Moral Sentiment sustains the very sense of literature and of personal human life (Tymieniecka).

Book Censorship of Historical Thought

Download or read book Censorship of Historical Thought written by Antoon De Baets and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-12-30 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is an important, dangerous, and fragile subject. Historical thought can be censored in widely diverging political and historiographical contexts, as historians are well aware. Yet the problems of censorship, often thought to be obvious, are rarely studied. Filling a significant void, this guide supplies information on the censorship of historical thought and the fate of persecuted historians in over 130 countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and from 1945 to 2000. With each entry providing a chronological overview of cases and giving a full listing of sources, the book is the first systematic effort to overview the repression of historical thought. Aiming to encompass all countries in which censorship and persecution have taken place, De Baets sketches a world map of repression that goes beyond the well-known and well-studied cases. It assembles scattered data from three types of sources: the works of censors and censored, historical and biographical dictionaries and historiographical surveys, and reports from international human rights organizations. Showing the universality of historical censorship and its infinite variety in amount and degree, the book also provides a basis for further comparative research.

Book Contre le nazisme ou contre l Allemagne

Download or read book Contre le nazisme ou contre l Allemagne written by Antoine Capet and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans un article du Times du 13 avril 1998 consacré à Hitler, Elie Wiesel se demande comment expliquer «le succès de sa démagogie de bas étage auprès d'un peuple si fier d'avoir hérité du génie d'un Goethe ou d'un Kant». Cette question n'est pas nouvelle : les élites britanniques se la posaient déjà il y a soixante ans, à la suite de l'un de leurs grands diplomates, Lord Vansittart, qui voyait en Hitler l'aboutissement du mal que portait en lui le Germain depuis l'Antiquité. C'est précisément l'objet du présent recueil que d'analyser les prises de position vis-à-vis de l'Allemand et du Nazi chez les Britanniques en guerre, mais aussi les prolongements actuels de ce débat sans cesse relancé depuis lors, comme le montrent les propos d'Elie Wiesel.
