Download or read book The Superstitious Mind written by Judith Devlin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intriguing book examines popular religion, traditional medicine, witchcraft, apparitions, demonology, and magic in nineteenth-century rural France. Devlin demonstrates that many of the impulses and mental processes now considered superstitious constituted a wholly reasonable response to the pressures of a harsh and impoverished life. Far from the product of a primitive mentality, many of these beliefs have survived in modern culture and can even illuminate the nature of modern mass politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « De retour au camp après une journée de bois, de glace et de faim, notre seule pensée tournait autour de la bouffe du soir, cette fameuse soupe à l'eau, quelquefois suivie de pommes de terre en robe des champs servies avec une sauce douteuse, une petite cuillerée par Maid, toujours sous l’œil vigilant de la Führerin. Un jour, celle qui apportait la sauce en ayant renversé un peu sur la table, toutes les filles assises autour se précipitèrent sur cette sauce gluante qu'elles léchèrent et lapèrent à même la table graisseuse et spongieuse, comme des chiots. Je crois que c'est ce jour-là que je pris conscience pour la première fois de la fragilité du vernis que nous donnent l’éducation et la culture, face à la nécessité toute nue de la survie. À peine un an auparavant, une bonne vêtue de satin noir m'avait servi une tranche de brochet à la sauce de raifort, sur une assiette de porcelaine, et me voilà, moi aussi, affalée sur une table branlante et dégoûtante, en train de lécher une sauce infecte. » Waldtraut Helene Treilles

Download or read book Authentic Fictions written by Tom Genrich and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative study examines the prose writings of the best-known cosmopolitan authors of the Third French Republic: the modernists Jean Giraudoux, Valery Larbaud and Paul Morand, and the best-selling popular writer Maurice Dekobra. It investigates what constituted the 'cosmopolitanism' that they publicly proclaimed between the World Wars, a classification which has been widely accepted by commentators ever since. In particular, it considers whether conventional definitions of cosmopolitanism - as an unproblematic attitude of xenophilia coupled with wanderlust, or as an ecumenical humanism - can co-exist with the blind spots and prejudices of its practitioners. This book offers a comprehensive reinterpretation of the writers' identity politics based on their approach to Otherness (gender, race, nationality, political affiliation) as well as to formal innovation. It argues that cosmopolitanism is the organizing principle for their literary and existential attempts at cultivating authentic Selfhood. Through its socio-political embeddedness, this cosmopolitanism reveals the ideological and cultural preoccupations of the day.
Download or read book The Livres souvenirs of Colette written by Anne Freadman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout her career, Colette experimented with genre for the purposes of telling stories of her life. The books that resulted, known collectively as her 'livres-souvenirs', are far from being autobiographies in the customary sense. By addressing the need to reconsider the generic issues surrounding autobiographical story-telling, Anne Freadman's study brings the richness of 'the genre question' to the fore, shedding a fresh light on this much-loved body of work. From the vignettes ofLa Maison de Claudineto the note-books ofL'etoile vesper andLe Fanal bleu, from stories of losing to stories of collecting, Colette's memory books take different narrative forms and explore the passing of time in different ways. This book investigates Colette's variegated generic choices as so many ways of 'telling time'.
