De Cicéron à Pétrarque, d’Érasme aux auteurs des livres pour secrétaires qui affluent sur le marché éditorial aux xvie et xviie siècles, l’écriture épistolaire ne cesse de se plier, sous la plume des écrivains, à de nouvelles exigences d’expression littéraire, entre tradition et modernité. Accédant au statut de genre littéraire, portée par l’élan humaniste et le classicisme de la Renaissance, la lettre finit par acquérir définitivement une valeur exemplaire pour propose des modèles de style, de langue, tout en contribuant à façonner les formes du vivre ensemble et les représentations de l’homme en société. Les études réunies dans ce volume collectif offrent une analyse approfondie de la notion d’exemplarité appliquée à la littérature épistolaire de la première époque moderne. Il s’agit d’une forme littéraire sur laquelle les études sur l’exemplarité ont fait l’impasse, pour privilégier le domaine de la nouvelle, du roman ou de l’écriture autobiographique. Quelles sont les stratégies qui président à la construction de l’exemplarité épistolaire ? Les auteurs et les ouvrages considérés dans ce volume recouvrent le territoire de la République des Lettres, incluant l’Italie, la France, l’Espagne, sans oublier l’apport d’un penseur cosmopolite comme Érasme. Dans cette perspective interdisciplinaire, les approches de la notion d’exemplarité sont multiples : elles permettent de suivre l’émergence de figures du « je » épistolaire qui se veulent exemplaires car elles proposent des paradigmes de vie fondés sur des valeurs intellectuelles, philosophiques, spirituelles, etc. Elles soulignent aussi l’importance des réseaux de correspondance et des modèles de sociabilité, sans négliger enfin la dimension pédagogique propre à l’enseignement scolaire de l’art de la lettre et aux manuels. Lieu de négociation et de partage, la lettre n’a-t-elle pas réinventé les formes de l’exemplarité ?

"Is it appropriate to honour and admire people who have created great works of art, made important intellectual contributions, performed great sporting feats or shaped the history of a nation if those people have also acted immorally? This book provides a philosophical investigation of this important and timely question. The authors draw on the latest research from ethics, value theory, philosophy of emotion, social philosophy and social psychology to develop and substantiate arguments that have been made in the public debates about this issue. They offer a detailed analysis of the nature and ethics of honour and admiration, and present reasons both in favor and against honouring and admiring the immoral. They also take on the important matter of whether we can separate the achievements of public figures from their immoral behavior. Ultimately, the authors reject a "one-size-fits-all" approach and argue that we must weigh up the reasons for and against honouring and admiring in each particular case. Honouring and Admiring the Immoral is written in an accessible style that shows how philosophy can engage with public debates about important ethical issues. It will be of interest to scholars and students working in moral philosophy, philosophy of emotion, and social philosophy"--

Animal Narratology interrogates what it means to narrate, to speak—speak for, on behalf of—and to voice, or represent life beyond the human, which is in itself as different as insects, bears, and dogs are from each other, and yet more, as individual as a single mouse, horse, or puma. The varied contributions to this interdisciplinary Special Issue highlight assumptions about the human perception of, attitude toward, and responsibility for the animals that are read and written about, thus demonstrating that just as “the animal” does not exist, neither does “the human”. In their zoopoetic focus, the analyses are aware that animal narratology ultimately always contains an approximation of an animal perspective in human terms and terminology, yet they make clear that what matters is how the animal is approximated and that there is an effort to approach and encounter the non-human in the first place. Many of the analyses come to the conclusion that literary animals give readers the opportunity to expand their own points of view both on themselves and others by adopting another’s perspective to the degree that such an endeavor is possible. Ultimately, the contributions call for a recognition of the many spaces, moments, and modes in which human lives are entangled with those of animals—one of which is located within the creative bounds of storytelling.

Power electronics technology is still an emerging technology, and it has found its way into many applications, from renewable energy generation (i.e., wind power and solar power) to electrical vehicles (EVs), biomedical devices, and small appliances, such as laptop chargers. In the near future, electrical energy will be provided and handled by power electronics and consumed through power electronics; this not only will intensify the role of power electronics technology in power conversion processes, but also implies that power systems are undergoing a paradigm shift, from centralized distribution to distributed generation. Today, more than 1000 GW of renewable energy generation sources (photovoltaic (PV) and wind) have been installed, all of which are handled by power electronics technology. The main aim of this book is to highlight and address recent breakthroughs in the range of emerging applications in power electronics and in harmonic and electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues at device and system levels as discussed in ?robust and reliable power electronics technologies, including fault prognosis and diagnosis technique stability of grid-connected converters and ?smart control of power electronics in devices, microgrids, and at system levels.
