Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quand les affaires se font au détriment de la préservation de l'environnement 10 % de croissance valent-ils le sacrifice de 1,2 million de personnes chaque année ? Pour Pékin, la réponse est oui. Et il est utile de préciser qu’il ne s’agit ici que des morts liés à la pollution atmosphérique. La perspective est d’autant plus effrayante que l’histoire écologique du XXIe siècle s’écrira principalement à Pékin. Obsédé par son développement économique, le pouvoir chinois a déployé tout son talent pour cacher le problème. À ses propres citoyens, en réprimant sévèrement ceux qui ont voulu lancer l’alerte. Au reste du monde, en devenant une force de blocage dans toutes les instances écologiques internationales. Pourquoi Pékin nous enfume ? est une exploration des ambiguïtés dangereuses du régime chinois sur la question environnementale. Un exercice de désenfumage qui s’attelle aussi bien à scruter les envers de ce miracle économique qu’à saisir ses transformations potentielles. Découvrez une enquête sans complaisance sur un désastre écologique. EXTRAIT Le drame écologique du XXIe siècle se nouera en Chine... Malheureusement. Que l’on s’en indigne ou non, les choix délicats qui décideront de l’avenir de la planète se feront en grande partie à Pékin, au sein d’un pouvoir dont le seul horizon de réflexion pourrait se résumer à cette capacité à perpétuer son autorité sur 1,367 milliard d’individus. Il y a des perspectives plus réjouissantes. Mais le pessimisme et le déterminisme sont des guides imparfaits, l’avenir des écosystèmes, même accablé du poids des forfaitures passées, reste à écrire... au moins partiellement. Si le tableau est sombre, il n’est pas monochrome. Car aussi peu convaincante fut-elle en matière environnementale par le passé, la gouvernance chinoise se définit d’abord et avant tout par son pragmatisme, et elle pourrait trouver dans les années à venir un intérêt aussi bien pécuniaire que politique à faire évoluer son modèle vers davantage de durabilité. Elle devrait être poussée dans ce sens par une société civile chinoise qui, si elle n’a pas toujours voix au chapitre, n’est pas non plus constituée de dociles spectateurs attendant sans mot dire le point de non-retour. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Matthieu Timmerman est un spécialiste de la politique asiatique, et plus particulièrement chinoise. Docteur en sciences politiques, ancien professeur à l’Institut d’études politiques de Lille et à la Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU Pékin), il travaille actuellement pour l’ONG Planète Urgence en Asie du Sud-Est.

Download or read book Salvator Rosa in French Literature written by James Patty and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2005-01-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Salvator Rosa (1615–1673) was a colorful and controversial Italian painter, talented musician, a notable comic actor, a prolific correspondent, and a successful satirist and poet. His paintings, especially his rugged landscapes and their evocation of the sublime, appealed to Romantic writers, and his work was highly influential on several generations of European writers. James S. Patty analyzes Rosa’s tremendous influence on French writers, chiefly those of the nineteenth century, such as Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo, George Sand, and Théophile Gautier. Arranged in chronological order, with numerous quotations from French fiction, poetry, drama, art criticism, art history, literary history, and reference works, Salvator Rosa in French Literature forms a narrative account of the reception of Rosa’s life and work in the world of French letters. James S. Patty, professor emeritus of French at Vanderbilt University, is the author of Dürer in French Letters . He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Book excerpt: For Chancelade, the world is teeming with beauty, wonder and possibilities. From a small boy playing on the beach, through his adolescence and his first love, to the death of his father and on to the end of his own life, he relishes the most minute details of his physical surroundings - whether a grain of sand, an insect or a blade of grass - as he journeys on a sensory adventure from cradle to grave. Filled with cosmic ruminations, lyrical description and virtuoso games of language and the imagination, Terra Amata brilliantly explores humankind's place in the universe, the relationship between us and the Earth we inhabit and, ultimately, how to live.
Download or read book The Aesthetics of Authenticity written by Wolfgang Funk and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a concept that increasingly gains importance in contemporary cultural discourse, authenticity emerges as a site of tearing tensions between the fictional and the real, original and fake, margin and centre, the same and the other. The essays collected in this volume explore this paradoxical nature of authenticity in the context of various media. They give ample proof of the fact that authenticity, which depends on giving the impression of being inherent or natural, found not created, frequently turns out to be the result of a careful aesthetic construction that depends on the use of identifiable techniques with the aim of achieving certain effects for certain reasons.

Book excerpt: Bruno Barbey has always used photography to reveal the subtle complexities of life in countries all over the world. Throughout his travels, however, one constant remains - his love for and fascination with Morocco, his homeland. His photographs of Fez, the city that Anaïs Nin likened to the inside of a brain, capture perfectly its labyrinthine quality. Elsewhere in Morocco he creates colour-drenched, strongly graphic images rendered dazzling by its scorching light. Morocco is a complex country beneath her serene countenance, something Barbey knows instinctively and his work respects. His unique empathy for the place and her people is beautifully expressed in this superbly produced, large-format volume.

Download or read book J M G Le Cl zio Et la M taphore Exotique written by Bruno Thibault and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.M.G. Le Clézio et la métaphore exotique propose une analyse détaillée et approfondie de l'oeuvre de J.M.G. Le Clézio, prix Nobel de littérature 2008. La question de la « métaphore exotique » sert ici de fil conducteur et permet d'éclairer le corpus leclézien d'un triple point de vue textuel, anthropologique et psychanalytique. L'inscription problématique de l'espace et du voyage domine en effet toute la production littéraire de Le Clézio; et cette inscription s'accompagne d'une certaine ambiguïté générique. D'une part l'analyse montre que l'écriture du voyage fonctionne chez Le Clézio, comme chez Segalen, comme une « écriture des limites », c'est-à-dire comme un déplacement du sujet et du sens. Mais d'autre part l'analyse montre que l'écriture du voyage dessine chez Le Clézio un rapport singulier et ambivalent à l'espace postmoderne, au désenchantement du monde et à la disparition des grands mythes fondateurs, interrogeant l'acte même de la création littéraire. A la fois humaniste et antidogmatique, l'oeuvre de J.M.G. Le Clézio se situe ainsi de façon originale dans les marges des grands mouvements littéraires du XXe et du XXIe siècle, du Nouveau Roman des années 60 à la « littérature-monde » d'aujourd'hui.

Book excerpt: In a fascinating series of essays, the life, works and world of Gregory of Tours are evaluated. This sixth-century bishop is probably best known as writer of the History of the Franks. The collection of essays makes a valuable contribution to the flourishing field of Gregory of Tours studies. Though the contributors take full account of his political dimension, they also see Gregory in his cultural context. In addition to being representative of the age in which he lived, Gregory is presented here as an exceptional man. Furthermore, the contributors offer an up-to-date assessment of Merovingian culture, history and religion. Themes include: the urban history of Tours and the Merovingian world; ideas, politics and international contacts in the Merovingian world; the Merovingian church; Gregory's hagiographic writings; the Histories; and the manuscript tradition. Contributors include: Bernard S. Bachrach, Peter Brown, John J. Contreni, S. Fanning, Nancy Gauthier, Walter Goffart, Guy Halsall, Yitzak Hen, Conrad Leyser, Felice Lifshitz, Jo Ann McNamara, Kathleen Mitchell, William Monroe, Janet L. Nelson, Giselle de Nie, Thomas F.X.

Book excerpt: In these nine unforgettable and impressionistic 'tales of little madness', the Nobel Prize-winning author Le Clézio explores how the physical sensations we experience every day can be as strong as feelings of love or hate, with their power to bring chaos to our lives. In 'The Day that Beaumont became Acquainted with his Pain', a man with toothache spends the night seeking ways to disown his throbbing jaw; in 'Fever', Roch finds his mind transported by sunstroke; while in 'A Day of Old Age' little Joseph tries to comprehend the physical suffering of a dying old woman. Set in a timeless, spaceless universe, these experimental and haunting works portray the landscape of the human consciousness with dazzling verbal dexterity and power.
