This book was released on 2023-01-26 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si vous étiez joueur d'échecs, quel serait votre profil psychologique ? Et celui de votre interlocuteur ? D'ailleurs, qu'est-ce qu'un adversaire ? Comment une championne prépare-t-elle une compétition à fort enjeu, ou n'importe quel moment important de la vie ? Et la visualisation, comme dans la série Le Jeu de la dame : bullshit ou vrai outil universel ? Comment l'alimentation ou l'activité physique aident-ils à gagner ? Et quels sont les modèles de grands joueurs à suivre, sur l'échiquier comme dans la vie, selon Marie Sebag ? Grand maître international et multichampionne de France et d'Europe, la plus performante des championnes françaises témoigne de son parcours, donne des conseils expérimentés, confie ses coups gagnants, raconte ses combats et, par-dessus tout, ce dont elle est fière : la combinaison d'une carrière exigeante, accomplie, et d'une vie équilibrée. Elle explique comment elle utilise, à cette fin, les enjeux et stratégies de l'échiquier pour se donner des règles de vie, de communication, d'influence et des habitudes de concentration. Elle incite ainsi tout lecteur – joueur expérimenté ou apprenti – à appliquer ces principes sur le plateau et dans sa vie quotidienne.

Download or read book Sexing the Citizen written by Judith Surkis and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did marriage come to be seen as the foundation and guarantee of social stability in Third Republic France? In Sexing the Citizen, Judith Surkis shows how masculine sexuality became central to the making of a republican social order. Marriage, Surkis argues, affirmed the citizen's masculinity, while also containing and controlling his desires. This ideal offered a specific response to the problems—individualism, democratization, and rapid technological and social change—associated with France's modernity. This rich, wide-ranging cultural and intellectual history provides important new insights into how concerns about sexuality shaped the Third Republic's pedagogical projects. Educators, political reformers, novelists, academics, and medical professionals enshrined marriage as the key to eliminating the risks of social and sexual deviance posed by men-especially adolescents, bachelors, bureaucrats, soldiers, and colonial subjects. Debates on education reform and venereal disease reveal how seriously the social policies of the Third Republic took the need to control the unstable aspects of male sexuality. Surkis's compelling analyses of republican moral philosophy and Emile Durkheim's sociology illustrate the cultural weight of these concerns and provide an original account of modern French thinking about society. More broadly, Sexing the Citizen illuminates how sexual norms continue to shape the meaning of citizenship.
Download or read book Reign of Virtue written by Miranda Pollard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Reign of Virtue, Miranda Pollard explores the effects of military defeat and Nazi occupation on French articulations of gender in wartime France. Drawing on governmental archives, historical texts, and propaganda, Pollard explores what most historians have ignored: the many ways in which Vichy's politicians used gendered images of work, family, and sexuality to restore and maintain political and social order. She argues that Vichy wanted to return France to an illustrious and largely mythical past of harmony, where citizens all knew their places and fulfilled their responsibilities, where order prevailed. The National Revolution, according to Pollard, replaced the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity with work, family, and fatherland, making the acceptance of traditional masculine and feminine roles a key priority. Pollard shows how Vichy's policies promoted the family as the most important social unit of a new France and elevated married mothers to a new social status even as their educational, employment, and reproductive rights were strictly curtailed.

Download or read book To Write on Tamara written by Marcel Bänabou and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As stubborn, as surprising, as artful as life in its refusal to conform to a particular literary genre, Marcel Bänabou?s book is at once a memoir and a novel, a confession and a reflection on the prerogatives and imperatives of writing one?s story. At its center, forever alluring and elusive, is the beautiful and ethereal Tamara, the exact incarnation of our narrator?s most enduring fantasy?a femme fatale for the lover of form. Who precisely our narrator is, is less certain: The young Manuel, who leaves his home in Morocco to study in Paris, only to encounter the enticing Tamara? Or the mature Manuel, looking back not only at Tamara but also at the younger man?s reading of his experience through the pages of the literature of sentimental apprenticeship, from Stendhal?s The Red and the Black through Flaubert?s Sentimental Education? A heady, genre-defying high-wire act by a writer who delights in such undertakings and whose efforts consistently delight readers worldwide, To Write on Tamara? captures with graceful authority and assurance the now thrilling, now vexing complexities of living and writing life?s stories, especially stories of love.
