Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La vie de Louis Riel vue d'un autre il! Lumière sur la vie de Louis Riel, lumière du monde. Voir Matthieu 5, 14. Louis Riel était aussi la salière du monde et le monde l'a brisé en l'exécutent. Voir aussi Matthieu 5, 13. Vous êtes le sel de la terre. Mais si le sel perd sa saveur, avec quoi la remplacera-t-on? Il ne sert plus qu'à être jeté dehors et foulé aux pieds par les hommes.' Des dizaines d'écrivains ont écrit sur la vie, la mort et la carrière de Louis Riel, mais ils ont surtout parlé de ses activités politiques et de rébellion. Moi je vous parlerai principalement de ses rapports avec Dieu et qu'il avait les mêmes préoccupations que Jésus avait dans ce monde, c'est-à-dire de délivrer son peuple et de le conduire vers Dieu. Louis Riel avait compris tout comme Jésus que la religion, surtout celle dont la tête est à Rome, était un esclavage épouvantable et qu'il fallait définitivement s'en séparer. C'est donc pour cette raison que le gouvernement de Sir John A. Macdonald pressé par les églises chrétiennes a trouvé le moyen de l'éliminer de cette terre malgré les protestations qui fusaient de toutes parts. Louis Riel devait donc subir le même sort que celui qui l'a inspirer, Jésus de Nazareth, et c'est exactement pourquoi je m'attends à la même conclusion, puisque je fais la même chose, c'est-à-dire, ouvrir les yeux du monde.

Download or read book Beyond the Paradox of the Nostalgic Modernist written by Elisabeth M. Donato and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation of J.-K. Huysmans' representation of temporality sheds light on the complex and paradoxical nature of this late-nineteenth-century novelist and art critic, who was a modernist steeped in nostalgia as well as a nostalgic steeped in modernity. To unveil and understand the mechanisms and logic of this paradox, Elisabeth M. Donato examines Huysmans' characters' dealings with measured time and schedules, investigates the failure of des Esseintes' aesthetic experiment, and relates the novelist's construct of «spiritualist naturalism» to his increasingly frequent and intense longings for his own medieval utopia. Donato's new perspective onto the intricate relationship between modernity and nostalgia underscores Huysmans' firm and very modern stance à rebours of commonality in his never ending search for a solution to his dilemma.
Download or read book Pr cis of the Lectures on Architecture written by Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand (1760–1834) regarded the Précis of the Lectures on Architecture (1802–5) and its companion volume, the Graphic Portion (1821), as both a basic course for future civil engineers and a treatise. Focusing the practice of architecture on utilitarian and economic values, he assailed the rationale behind classical architectural training: beauty, proportionality, and symbolism. His formal systematization of plans, elevations, and sections transformed architectural design into a selective modular typology in which symmetry and simple geometrical forms prevailed. His emphasis on pragmatic values, to the exclusion of metaphysical concerns, represented architecture as a closed system that subjected its own formal language to logical processes. Now published in English for the first time, the Précis and the Graphic Portion are classics of architectural education.

Download or read book Gardens of Renaissance Europe and the Islamic Empires written by Mohammad Gharipour and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross-cultural exchange of ideas that flourished in the Mediterranean during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries profoundly affected European and Islamic society. Gardens of Renaissance Europe and the Islamic Empires considers the role and place of gardens and landscapes in the broader context of the information sharing that took place among Europeans and Islamic empires in Turkey, Persia, and India. In illustrating commonalities in the design, development, and people’s perceptions of gardens and nature in both regions, this volume substantiates important parallels in the revolutionary advancements in landscape architecture that took place during the era. The contributors explain how the exchange of gardeners as well as horticultural and irrigation techniques influenced design traditions in the two cultures; examine concurrent shifts in garden and urban landscape design, such as the move toward more public functionality; and explore the mutually influential effects of politics, economics, and culture on composed outdoor space. In doing so, they shed light on the complexity of cultures and politics during the Renaissance. A thoughtfully composed look at the effects of cross-cultural exchange on garden design during a pivotal time in world history, this thought-provoking book points to new areas in inquiry about the influences, confluences, and connections between European and Islamic garden traditions. In addition to the editor, the contributors include Cristina Castel-Branco, Paula Henderson, Simone M. Kaiser, Ebba Koch, Christopher Pastore, Laurent Paya, D. Fairchild Ruggles, Jill Sinclair, and Anatole Tchikine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume, en mémoire au père jésuite Ludwig Bertsch (1929-2006), font le point sur quelques défis actuels de la théologie africaine. Ludwig Bertsch s. j. était un grand ami du Congo, pays qu’il a visité plusieurs fois. Il y a assuré des cours et a participé aux colloques scientifiques qui y ont été organisés. Pendant de longues années, il a été membre du Conseil administratif des Facultés catholiques de Kinshasa, aujourd’hui Université Catholique du Congo. Au sein de la communauté ecclésiale vivante de base Boyambi (paroisse Notre-Dame de Lingwala à Kinshasa), il a pu vivre de l’intérieur les retombées pratiques des initiatives pastorales déployées dans le diocèse de Kinshasa. Cette expérience sur le terrain lui a permis de publier en 1990 un ouvrage remarqué sur les dirigeants laïcs de communautés. L’expérience qu’il a poursuivie au gré de ses voyages et de ses nombreux contacts avec les agents pastoraux et les théologiens a nourri ses contributions scientifiques sur les communautés ecclésiales vivantes de base, les ministères laïcs, la liturgie et les tâches pastorales d’une Église congolaise authentique et inculturée, œuvrant dans une société en crise. Les contributions rassemblées dans ces Mélanges mettent en évidence le dynamisme de l’Église congolaise dont le père L. Bertsch se sentait un membre actif. En rapport avec sa riche personnalité, cet ouvrage présente des perspectives nouvelles qui éclairent l’articulation entre foi et culture dans la recherche d’une théologie en contexte africain."--Quatrième de couverture

Download or read book The French Booktrade and the permission Simple of 1777 written by Robert L. Dawson and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1777 a series of royal decrees heralded the restructuring of the French booktrade. An important innovation was the creation of a public domain for certain kinds of books whose privil ge (or 'copyright') had expired. In order not to relinquish control over a vast category of books, the government decided to implement a new kind of printing and publishing permit - the 'permission simple'. As historian and bibliologist, the author examines the many issues involved in the implementation of the permit, explaining the circumstances that led to the creation of a public domain, the economic policies of the government with respect to the 'permission simple', and what exactly the procedures entailed. Other issues concerning the permit are also covered: edition runs; a number of illicit activities; the relationship of free trade, the physiocrats and Turgot to booktrade policies; the significance of Diderot's Lettre sur le commerce de la librairie. The study is largely based on hitherto unpublished sources and on books printed by virtue of the permit. Included in the volume is an edition of the 'permission simple' ledgers. This is the first time that the registers of an entire category of French books printed by virtue of a given authorisation have been published. They contain references to nearly two thousand editions - many today lost - of a wide variety of works. The entries are invaluable for the information they provide about the output of many important provincial printers and booksellers. Together the two registers provide a unique picture of French book production during the dozen years or so preceding the Revolution.

The interviews one finds here (and Gavronsky's excellent introduction) will be as important a document of postwar French writing as Symonds' The Symbolist Movement in Literature was for the age of Eliot."—Michael Davidson, author of The San Francisco Renaissance "This is the best and only introduction to the latest and most interesting literary experimentation in France. Through thoughtful interviews with the authors and a short selection of their work we come to know them intimately and we get a good overall sense of the direction present day French Literature is taking."—Sydney Lévy, editor of SubStance: A Review of Theory and Literary Criticism
