Abstract

Urbain Le Verrier, successeur de François Arago à l'Observatoire de Paris, a également droit à sa biographie par James Lequeux. Difficile d'imaginer hommes aussi dissemblables. Autant Arago, un vrai romantique, était extraverti et généreux, autant Le Verrier ne pouvait que travailler seul et avait des rapports difficiles avec les autres. Mais c'était un magnifique savant. Il a découvert Neptune par le calcul, « du bout de sa plume », et accompli une œuvre immense dont avaient rêvé bien d'autres sans pouvoir la réaliser : la théorie complète du mouvement des planètes dans le Système solaire. Il a réorganisé l'astronomie française, dans la douleur il est vrai, et mis en place un service météorologique international très efficace, ancêtre de Météo France. Personnage fascinant, Le Verrier a traversé son époque au milieu des haines et des controverses ; cependant, son œuvre a constamment été admirée, même de ses pires ennemis, et en a fait l'astronome le plus célèbre du milieu du XIXe siècle.

Abstract

Cette Histoire de la littérature française du XIXe siècle a l’ambition de renouveler le regard que nous portons sur la production littéraire de ce siècle. Comment rendre sensible le lien qui unit le temps de l’Histoire et celui des imaginaires littéraires ? Pour répondre à cette question, ce livre articule de manière convergente une histoire socio-intellectuelle du siècle et l’étude des individualités les plus fortes. Il entrelace des chapitres sur l’évolution générale des contenus et des formes, et des analyses consacrées aux auteurs. Il invite à une lecture stéréoscopique de l’ensemble, de sorte que l’historicité et la singularité de chaque œuvre soient également prises en compte. Ce livre fort et riche, original et efficace, est destiné aux étudiants de lettres – classes préparatoires, premier et second cycles. Il sera aussi un excellent outil de synthèse pour les étudiants qui préparent les concours, pour les futurs professeurs de lettres en formation dans les IUFM, ainsi que pour les professeurs de l’enseignement secondaire.

Abstract

This book traces a number of common themes relating to the representation of Irish Travelers in Irish popular tradition and how these themes have impacted on Ireland's collective imagination. A particular focus of the book is on the exploration of the Traveler as "Other," an "Other" who is perceived as both inside and outside Ireland's collective ideation. Frequently constructed as a group whose cultural tenets are in a dichotomous opposition to that of the "settled" community, this book demonstrates the ambivalence and complexity of the Irish Traveler "Other" in the context of a European postcolonial country. Not only has the construction and representation of Travelers always been less stable and "fixed" than previously supposed, these images have been acted upon and changed by both the Traveler and non-Traveler communities as the situation has demanded. Drawing primarily on little-explored Irish language sources, this volume demonstrates the fluidity of what is often assumed as reified or "fixed." As evidenced in Irish-language cultural sources the image of the Traveler is inextricably linked with the very concept of Irish identity itself. They are simultaneously the same and "Other" and frequently function as exemplars of the hegemony of native Irish culture as set against colonial traditions. This book is an important addition to the Irish Studies canon, in particular as relating to those exciting and unexplored terrains hitherto deemed "marginal" - Traveler Studies, Romani Studies, and Diaspora/Migration Studies to name but a few.

Abstract

Amy G. Richter follows women travelers onto trains and considers the consequences of their presence. White men and women domesticated the railroad for themselves and paved the way for a racially segregated and class-stratified public space that freed women from the home yet preserved the railroad as a masculine domain.

Abstract

Crossing Cultures brings together scholars in the field of reception and translation studies to chart the individual and institutional agencies that determined the reception of Anglophone authors in the Dutch and Belgian literary fields in the course of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century.The essays offer a variety of angles from which nineteenth-century literary dynamics in the Low Countries can be studied. The first two parts discuss the reception of Anglophone literature in the Netherlands and Belgium, respectively, while the third part focuses exclusively on the Dutch

Abstract

Drawing from a rich array of visual and literary material from nineteenth-century Iran, this groundbreaking book rereads and rewrites the history of Iranian modernity through the lens of gender and sexuality. Peeling away notions of a rigid pre-modern Islamic gender system, Afsaneh Najmabadi provides a compelling demonstration of the centrality of gender and sexuality to the shaping of modern culture and politics in Iran and of how changes in ideas about gender and sexuality affected conceptions of beauty, love, homeland, marriage, education, and citizenship. She concludes with a provocative discussion of Iranian feminism and its role in that country's current culture wars. In addition to providing an important new perspective on Iranian history, Najmabadi skillfully demonstrates how using gender as an analytic category can provide insight into structures of hierarchy and power and thus into the organization of politics and social life.
