Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu est une pièce de théâtre de Jean Giraudoux, jouée la première fois le 22 novembre 1935 au Théâtre de l'Athénée1 sous la direction et avec Louis Jouvet. Cette œuvre cherche à déchiffrer les motivations fratricides de la future Seconde Guerre mondiale, comme un avertissement. L'auteur y met en relief le cynisme des politiciens ainsi que leur manipulation des symboles et de la notion de droit. La pièce met en lumière le pacifisme de Giraudoux qui avait combattu en France et à la bataille des Dardanelles mais aussi sa lucidité devant « deux bêtises, celle des hommes et celle des éléments » Après (1919), où il récrivait à sa façon l', Giraudoux tire cette fois son sujet de l', poème épique d'Homère qui chante les combats héroïques du siège de Troie. Le prétexte de la guerre légendaire est l'enlèvement d'Hélène, l'épouse du roi grec Ménélas, par le prince troyen Pâris, fils du roi Priam. Ulysse, envoyé en ambassade, ne peut obtenir réparation de l'outrage et les Grecs coalisés s'embarquent pour Troie qu'ils prendront et incendieront après dix ans de siège.

Download or read book La guerre de Troie n aura pas lieu written by Jean Giraudoux and published by Grasset. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette tragédie réanime d'illsutres personnages de l'Iliade d'Homère et le thème en est connu : Hélène vient de se faire compliasamment enlever par Pâris, le prince troyen ; les Grecs attaqueront si elle ne leur est pas rendue. A Troie, ce fait-divers vaudevillesque déclenche les passions entre partisans de la paix (Hector, Andromaque) et bellicistes (le roi Priam et le poète Demokos). Dans le camp des Grecs qui crient vengeance, l'ambassadeur Ulysse semble bien seul... Sur un casting mythologique, cette pièce de 1935 est très contemporaine, inspirée à Jean Giraudoux par la montée des périls en Europe. L'auteur s'engage pour la paix. Cette œuvre n'est pourtant pas un manifeste. On y retrouve la langue de Giraudoux, son drapé, son esprit, sa causticité. Que valent tous ces talents face au destin ? En tenant "seulement compte de deux bêtises, celle des hommes et celles des éléments", Cassandre l'avait prédit : la guerre aura bien lieu. A Troie, et dans le monde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For any play originating in a different culture and society to be favourably received in English translation, timing and other factors of reception are often as important as the purely linguistic aspects. This book focuses on the problems of reception and translation into English encountered by European playwrights now regularly staged at British theatres, such as Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov, Brecht, Anouilh, Lorca and Pirandello, among others. Introduced by discussions highlighting different approaches to translation in general and the difficulties inherent in the translation of drama in particular, the book concludes by looking at what is lost in translation and the means by which adaptions and new versions may help to restore the balance.

Download or read book Planning for Conflict in the Twenty First Century written by Brian Hanley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to serve the military profession, and so the national interest, by helping to generate intelligent reform of how the armed forces train, educate, and promote officers who shape our military strategy and write our war plans. Readers will discover the professional and intellectual improvement that wide reading in the masters of historical narrative offers to them. The first chapter, Lessons Not Learned, surveys our strategic documents-and their recent applications-and offers criticism and recommendations. The second chapter, Transformation Ballyhoo, evaluates our current efforts at military transformation and offers an alternative approach to rehabilitating our armed forces. The third chapter, The Brain of An Army, offers ideas on building a first-rate Joint War College. Chapters four through six focus on military campaigns: France 1940; Stalingrad; North Africa, 1940-43. The theme is that moral and intellectual qualities determine the fate of armies in war, and that material and bureaucratic machinery are not nearly so vital as we seem to think nowadays.
Download or read book Mists of Regret written by Dudley Andrew and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just before World War II, French cinema reached a high point that has been dubbed the style of "poetic realism." Working with unforgettable actors like Jean Gabin and Arletty, directors such as Renoir, Carné, Gremillon, Duvivier, and Chenal routinely captured the prizes for best film at every festival and in every country, and their accomplishments led to general agreement that the French were the first to give maturity to the sound cinema. Here the distinguished film scholar Dudley Andrew examines the motivations and consequences of these remarkable films by looking at the cultural web in which they were made. Beyond giving a rich view of the life and worth of cinema in France, Andrew contributes substantially to our knowledge of how films are dealt with in history. Where earlier studies have treated the masterpieces of this era either in themselves or as part of the vision of their creators, and where certain recent scholars have reacted to this by dissolving the masterpieces back into the system of entertainment that made them possible, Andrew stresses the dialogue of culture and cinema. In his view, the films open questions that take us into the culture, while our understanding of the culture gives energy, direction, and consequence to our reading of the films. The book demonstrates the value of this hermeneutic approach for one set of texts and one period, but it should very much interest film theorists and film historians of all sorts.
Download or read book Understanding Human Life written by Daniel Courgeau and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the challenge of understanding human life. It compares our life experience with the attempts to grasp it by astrologers, eugenicists, psychologists, neuroscientists, social scientists, and philosophers. The main opposition among these specialties lies between understanding and misunderstanding. The book also addresses the central methodological difficulty of capturing a human life. It is first examined how certain approaches may lead to a misunderstanding of human life. The book contrasts the example of astrology—an accepted practice in ancient civilizations, but now classified among the pseudosciences—with astronomy, a full-fledged science since Galileo’s time. Another, more recent approach regards human life as predetermined by genes: the methods used by eugenicists, and later by political regimes under the name of hereditarianism, came to compete with genetics. A broader analysis shows how astrology and eugenicism are not truly scientific approaches. Next, the book looks at the ways of capturing an imaginary or real human life story. A comprehensive approach will try to fully understand their complexity, while a more explanatory approach considers only certain specific phenomena of human life. For example, demography studies only births, deaths, and migration. Another crucial factor in the collection of life histories is memory and its transmission. Psychology and psychoanalysis have developed different schools to try to explain them. The book concludes with a detailed discussion of the concepts and tools that have been proposed in more recent times for understanding the various aspects of life stories: mechanisms, systems, hermeneutics, and autonomy.

Download or read book France s New Deal written by Philip Nord and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-26 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France's New Deal is an in-depth and important look at the remaking of the French state after World War II, a time when the nation was endowed with brand-new institutions for managing its economy and culture. Yet, as Philip Nord reveals, the significant process of state rebuilding did not begin at the Liberation. Rather, it got started earlier, in the waning years of the Third Republic and under the Vichy regime. Tracking the nation's evolution from the 1930s through the postwar years, Nord describes how a variety of political actors--socialists, Christian democrats, technocrats, and Gaullists--had a hand in the construction of modern France. Nord examines the French development of economic planning and a cradle-to-grave social security system; and he explores the nationalization of radio, the creation of a national cinema, and the funding of regional theaters. Nord shows that many of the policymakers of the Liberation era had also served under the Vichy regime, and that a number of postwar institutions and policies were actually holdovers from the Vichy era--minus the authoritarianism and racism of those years. From this perspective, the French state after the war was neither entirely new nor purely social-democratic in inspiration. The state's complex political pedigree appealed to a range of constituencies and made possible the building of a wide base of support that remained in place for decades to come. A nuanced perspective on the French state's postwar origins, France's New Deal chronicles how one modern nation came into being.
