Download or read book American vertigo written by Bernard-Henri Lévy and published by Grasset. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis la deuxième guerre d'Irak - et même bien avant... - les Etats-Unis occupent, dans l'imaginaire mondial, une place symbolique qui dépasse largement les notions de puissance, de politique, de géographie. L'Amérique, en vérité, est devenue un concept, une « région de l'âme », une matrice de passions et de phobies dont le déploiement contradictoire n'en finit pas d'infuser nos propres débats. C'est, précisément, cette réalité ontologiquement diverse que Bernard-Henri Lévy a voulu cerner, observer, penser, dans ce livre où le reportage se mêle à la réflexion, et où le pittoresque emprunte à la philosophie de l'histoire. A l'origine, ce livre est né d'une « commande » de l'influent magazine « Atlantic Monthly » : demander à un célèbre intellectuel français de visiter l'Amérique et de donner sens à ce pays-continent en refaisant - en plus vaste - le fameux voyage qu'Alexis Tocqueville avait entrepris au début du XIXème siècle, à partir duquel il avait écrit son désormais classique « De la démocratie en Amérique ». Pendant une année, B.-H. Lévy a ainsi sillonné les Etats-Unis. Plus de vingt mille kilomètres d'est en ouest et du nord au sud, la plupart du temps par la route : de Rikers Island à Chicago, des communautés islamiques de Detroit à une enclave Amish de l'Iowa, l'auteur interroge la nature du patriotisme américain, la coexistence de la liberté comme de la religion, le système pénitenciaire, la « tyrannie de la majorité », le retour en force de l'idéologie... B.-H.L. a rencontré tous les visages de l'Amérique : les illustres, les anonymes, ceux du désert ou des mégapoles. De Sharon Stone à une veuve de mineur du Wisconsin, d'un milliardaire philantrope à Norman Mailer, de Woody Allen à un « homeless » de Californie, d'Hillary Clinton à un contestataire turbulent, de Barack Ohama, la star montante de la politique, à la pensionnaire d'un bordel du Nevada, il écrit la comédie humaine de ce pays-continent. D'où la vitalité prodigieuse de ce « reportage philosophique » qu'on dévore, page après page, avec un enthousiasme qui ne se dément jamais. Un oeil de romancier, et une profondeur de penseur. Les conclusions de ce voyage ? B.-H.L. les tire en chemin, et elles sont souvent contradictoires. A l'heure où la « démocratie en Amérique » est de plus en plus contestée, ce livre atteste, au contraire, de sa prodigieuse vitalité. A cet égard, l'épilogue substantiel de ce livre (une centaine de pages) permet au « philosophe » de reprendre le pas sur le « journaliste » et le final de cet ouvrage conduit son lecteur au coeur des grands débats - des thèses de Fukuyama ou Huntington aux arrières-pensées des « Néo-conservateurs » - dont la complexité, bien souvent, gouverne le destin du monde.
Download or read book United States written by Olivier Barrot and published by Editions Gallimard. This book was released on 2017 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après avoir raconté son Europe centrale intime dans Mitteleuropa, Olivier Barrot nous offre à partager ici sa connaissance des Etats-Unis, où il s'est rendu des centaines de fois au long de sa vie. Pour ce faire, cet insatiable curieux nous convie à un voyage de ville en ville (New York, Philadelphie, Detroit, Boston, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Dallas...), convoquant à chaque étape paysages et personnages, anonymes et illustres, monuments ou coins de rue. Le gigantisme l'étonne toujours, l'histoire du pays aussi. Il nous les rappelle par touches, intelligemment, avec la distance de l'Européen qui voit ce que l'Américain ne perçoit plus toujours. "Flânerie" à l'échelle d'un continent entier, United States éclaire sans en avoir l'air les contradictions, les errements, autant que la grandeur de cette nation.

Download or read book Voltaire s Tormented Soul written by Alexander J. Nemeth and published by Associated University Presse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The findings, in essence, reveal a person of dual identity, with unconscious forces playing a prominent role and holding the key to Voltaire's paradoxical character. His conscious, rational, and cognitively astute self - the standard-bearer of the philosophes in their epochal struggle for freedom - was also responsible for sealing off the subconscious portion of the self associated with traumatic experiences. The elaborate characterological structure erected to ward off consciously unacceptable impulses and, simultaneously, to obtain satisfaction of frustrated needs, is the subject of this study. The price he had to pay for the drastic disconnect between the two selves was formidable. In this volume, much attention is devoted to the unconventional ways and phantasmal stratagems adopted for dealing with the internal pressure of repressed impulses and a perpetual quest for affectional support. Some of these maneuvers show tenuous contact with social reality, as do his bizarre psychosomatic symptoms and bold rationalizations in the Memoirs." "Fortunately for the Western world, Voltaire's prodigious mind was put to use in rattling the cage of the intolerant and rigidly backward theocratic/political system. Due to his immense popularity as a playwright, and his agile participation in current events through a flood of pamphlets, leaflets, and occasional pieces, together with the gigantic volume and engaging style of his correspondence, the name Voltaire became synonymous with the Age of Enlightenment. The dual identity did not interfere with his effectiveness as a humanist. In fact, there is reason to believe that the energy invested in fighting l'infame, the oppressive authority of Church and State, was augmented by a dynamic driving force of the hidden self: the never verbalized and consciously never processed bitter resentment of paternal coercion. Principles and methods of depth psychology, as applied in the study, are elucidated and illustrated."--Jacket.
Download or read book Piety and Politics written by Martha Mel Stumberg Edmunds and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of Louis XIV's magnificent final chapel at Versailles, completed in 1710 near the end of his long reign (1643-1715). Construction, begun in 1699 on foundations of 1689, spanned the offices of two premiers architects du roi, Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Robert de Cotte. Eight painters and over 100 sculptors participated in the monumental undertaking, which remains almost unchanged today. An unusually large number of archival documents, drawings, and early texts about the chapel allow a detailed reconstruction of its history and meaning. Given Louis XIV's renown as one of the great kings and art patrons of all history and the universal definitions of his power in terms of divine kingship, the story of his palace chapel interests all historians of the ancien regime."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Corpus of Clandestine Literature in France 1769 1789 written by Robert Darnton and published by W W Norton & Company Incorporated. This book was released on 1995 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of illegal publishing in eighteenth-century France was large and varied, taking in the greatest works of Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Diderot, as well as the scandalous books of grub street writers. Here we have a map of that world, constructed by Robert Darnton based on his many years of research in the field. Darnton shows us the scope of this literary underground with a complete bibliography of the hundreds of books that circulated "under the cloak." He documents their geographical distribution throughout France, and measures the levels of demand for these books. By ranking these levels of demand he compiles a bestseller list of illegal books, with surprising results. Having thoroughly mined the sources, Darnton provides a trove of information on the illegal literature of Old Regime France. The result is an invaluable resource to specialists in French cultural history, the history of the book, the social history of ideas, and problems of censorship and state control of ideas.
Download or read book Critical Readings in Impressionism and Post Impressionism written by Mary Tompkins Lewis and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this wide-ranging, beautifully illustrated volume capture the theoretical range and scholarly rigor of recent criticism that has fundamentally transformed the study of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Readers are invited to consider the profound issues and penetrating questions that lie beneath this perennially popular body of work as the contributors examine the art world of late nineteenth-century France—including detailed looks at Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Degas, Cézanne, Morisot, Seurat, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. The authors offer fascinating new perspectives, placing the artworks from this period in wider social and historical contexts. They explore these painters' pictorial and market strategies, the critical reception and modern criteria the paintings engendered, and the movement's historic role in the formation of an avant-garde tradition. Their research reflects the wealth of new documents, critical approaches, and scholarly exhibitions that have fundamentally altered our understanding of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. These essays, several of which have previously been familiar only to scholars, provide instructive models of in-depth critical analysis and of the competing art historical methods that have crucially reshaped the field.
