The advocacy of Markus Ludescher to "democratic virtue" Civil Courage is based on literary texts from different periods and geographical origins, addressing the most diverse social contexts, such as France under the Occupation, France postcolonial or Quebec in the 90s.. Le plaidoyer de Markus Ludescher pour la « vertu démocratique » du courage civil est basé sur des textes littéraires de différentes époques et provenances géographiques, qui abordent les contextes sociaux les plus divers, tels que la France sous l’Occupation, la France postcoloniale ou le Québec des années 90. Dans une première partie philosophique et théorique, l’auteur donne un panorama historico-culturel du concept de courage civil et développe des paramètres propres à sa définition ; cette définition est adaptée dans la deuxième partie aux approches littéraires. La dernière partie est didactique, elle aborde les textes littéraires sous l’angle de la réception et de l’enseignement : il s’agit de remettre en question, dans une perspective éthique, les situations et les comportements décrits dans les textes, pour les intégrer dans l’enseignement. Cette étude, qui a reçu deux prix, est, selon une experte, un « travail extraordinaire, dépassant de loin ce qu’on peut attendre d’un mémoire de maîtrise ».

Heroes and heroic discourse have gained new visibility in the twenty-first century. This is noted in recent research on the heroic, but it has been largely ignored that heroism is increasingly a global phenomenon both in terms of production and consumption. This edited collection aims to bridge this research void and brings together case studies by scholars from different parts of the world and diverse fields. They explore how transnational and transcultural processes of translation and adaptation shape notions of the heroic in non-Western and Western cultures alike. The book provides fresh perspectives on heroism studies and offers a new angle for global and postcolonial studies.

The Táin Bó Cuailnge, centre-piece of the eighth-century Ulster cycle of heroic tales, is Ireland's greatest epic. It tells the story of a great cattle-raid, the invasion of Ulster by the armies of Medb and Ailill, queen and king of Connacht, and their allies, seeking to carry off the great Brown Bull of Cuailnge. The hero of the tale is Cuchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, who resists the invaders single-handed while Ulster's warriors lie sick. Thomas Kinsella presents a complete and living version of the story. His translation is based on the partial texts in two medieval manuscripts.
