Book excerpt: Voici les plantes qui nous entourent comme vous ne les avez jamais vues ! Elles vivent, elles bougent, elles communiquent entre elles ou avec les animaux, elles se battent, elles s'unissent, elles sentent, elles réagissent, elles perçoivent votre présence, elles ont de la mémoire, une forme d'intelligence et une certaine conscience d'elles-mêmes. Un véritable "réseau Internet végétal" palpite sous vos pieds, entre les racines de plantes différentes : bienvenue dans l'univers insoupçonné des fleurs et des arbres de nos campagnes. Fidèle à l'esprit de la collection, ce titre dévoile la vie qui nous entoure grâce à 700 photos de terrain, accompagnées de textes courts et denses, faciles de lecture, mais apportant des informations rares et éclairantes, reflétant les dernières découvertes de la science. Les végétaux sont à la fois étonnamment proches de nous par leurs capacités à percevoir leur environnement ou leurs "stratégies" de survie, et très éloignés dans leur fonctionnement. Ces petits êtres verts sont capables de se nourrir du Soleil, d'envoyer leurs bébés dans des capsules volantes, ou de se cloner pour conquérir la Terre. Un arbre n'est peut-être pas "un" arbre, mais une colonie d'individus différents poussant les uns sur les autres. Quant aux champignons, ce ne sont pas vraiment des plantes. De page en page, pas après pas, comme en balade, vous apprendrez ainsi à décoder les formes et les mouvements des végétaux de nos jardins et de nos terroirs, à comprendre les étranges secrets de leurs agissements : vous ne les regarderez plus jamais comme avant... Aussi beau que passionnant, un guide pratique pour voir l'extraordinaire dans l'ordinaire.

Download or read book Art and Visual Culture on the French Riviera 1956 971 written by Rosemary O'Neill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Riviera in the 1950s and 1960s was culturally rich with modernist icons such as Matisse and Picasso in residence, but also a burgeoning tourist culture, that established the C?d'Azur as a center of indigenous artists associated with Nouveau R?isme, Fluxus, and Supports/Surfaces, emerged under the mantle of the "Ecole de Nice." Drawing on the primary sources and little known publications generated during the period from museum archives, collections in the region, and privately owned archives, this study integrates material published in monographic studies of individuals and art movements, to offer the first in-depth study of this important movement in twentieth-century art. The author situates the work of the Ecole de Nice within the broader social currents that are so important in contextualizing this phenomenon within this internal region of France, and underscores why this work was so significant at this historical moment within the context of the broader European art scene, and contemporary American art, with which it shared affinities. Despite their stylistic differences, and associations with groups that are generally considered distinct, O'Neill discloses that these artists shared conceptual affinities?theatrical modes of presentation based on appropriation, use of the ready-made, and a determination to counter style-driven painting associated with the postwar Ecole de Paris. Art and Visual Culture on the Riviera, 1956-1971 suggests that the emergence of an Ecole de Nice internally eroded the dominance of Paris as the national standard at this moment of French decentralization efforts, and that these artists fostered a model of aesthetic pluralism that remained locally distinct yet fully engaged with international vanguard trends of the 1960s.

Download or read book Jacques R da written by Aaron Prevots and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jacques Réda: Being There, Almost, Aaron Prevots studies the work of this major contemporary French writer since the 1950s—poetry, novels, literary essays, short prose, jazz histories. He particularly examines Réda’s explorations of place, including how the ‘world’s energy’ becomes the ideal dancing partner, poetry incarnate in one’s arms. Réda embodies ‘being there, almost’ because he wanders with great wisdom yet renounces any glory in this metaphorical dance. He aligns us with the outer world’s rhythms and time’s passage. Fleeting waves of perception create a voluptuous, unified whole. In considering the arc of Réda’s works from 1952-2015, Aaron Prevots locates a progression from post-Baudelairean flânerie to commemoration of childhood, classical antiquity, fellow writers, jazz, physics, swing, theology, and trains.

Download or read book The Arabian Nights in Transnational Perspective written by Ulrich Marzolph and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 2004 meeting marking the Arabian Nights' tercentennial at the Herzog August Library in Wolfenb'ttel, Germany, nineteen international scholars presented their work on the transnational aspects of the Arabian Nights. This volume collects their papers, whose topics range from the history of the Arabian Nights manuscripts, to positioning the Nights in modern and postmodern discourse, to the international reception of the Nights in written and oral tradition. Essays are arranged in five sections. The first section contains essays on Galland's translation and its "continuation" by Jacques Cazotte. The second section treats specific characteristics of the Nights, including manuscript tradition, the transformations of a specific narrative pattern occurring in the Nights and other works of medieval Arabic literature, the topic of siblings in the Nights, and the political thought mirrored in the Nights. The essays in the third section deal with framing in relation to the classical Indian collection Panchatantra and as a general cultural technique, with particular attention to storytelling in the oral tradition of the Indian Ocean islands off the African coast. The two concluding and largest sections focus on various aspects of the transnational reception of the Nights. While the essays of the fourth section predominantly discuss written or learned tradition in Hawai'i, Swahili-speaking East Africa, Turkey, Iran, German cinema, and modern Arabic literature, the fifth section encompasses essays on the reception and role of the Nights in the oral tradition of areas as wide apart as Sicily, Greece, Afganistan, and Balochistan. A preface by Ulrich Marzolph unifies this volume. In view of the tremendous impact of the Arabian Nights on Western creative imagination, this collection will appeal to literary scholars of many backgrounds.
