Abstract

Philippe Ariès (1914-1984), l'auteur des classiques Histoire des populations françaises (1948), l'Enfant et la vie familiale sous l'Ancien Régime (1960 et 1973) et l'Homme devant la mort (1977) est une figure emblématique de la Nouvelle histoire aux côtés de G. Duby, J. Le Goff, E. Le Roy Ladurie ou M. Vovelle. Mais ce directeur d'études à l'EHESS fut pendant longtemps un solitaire, un historien franc-tireur, qui a bâti son œuvre en dehors de l'université, bref un « historien du dimanche ». Philippe Ariès, formé à l'école de l'Action française dans les années trente, épouse la plupart des combats du mouvement de Charles Maurras jusqu'à Pierre Boutang, puis se détache du militantisme tout en restant fidèle à sa culture traditionaliste. La biographie de ce pionnier de l'histoire des mentalités permet de comprendre la notoriété nationale et internationale de l'œuvre de Philippe Ariès dans des milieux aussi divers que ceux de la sociologie, de la psychologie, de l'éducation ou de la médecine. Elle livre enfin une explication sur la longue traversée du désert que connut Philippe Ariès et qui révoltait tant Michel Foucault.

Abstract

The Homeric Hymns have survived for two and a half millennia because of their captivating stories, beautiful language, and religious significance. Well before the advent of writing in Greece, they were performed by traveling bards at religious events, competitions, banquets, and festivals. These thirty-four poems invoking and celebrating the gods of ancient Greece raise questions that humanity still struggles with-questions about our place among others and in the world. Known as "Homeric" because they were composed in the same meter, dialect, and style as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, these hymns were created to be sung aloud. In this superb translation by Diane J. Rayor, which deftly combines accuracy and poetry, the ancient music of the hymns comes alive for the modern reader. Here is the birth of Apollo, god of prophecy, healing, and music and founder of Delphi, the most famous oracular shrine in ancient Greece. Here is Zeus, inflicting upon Aphrodite her own mighty power to cause gods to mate with humans, and here is Demeter rescuing her daughter Persephone from the underworld and initiating the rites of the Eleusinian Mysteries. This updated edition incorporates twenty-eight new lines in the first Hymn to Dionysos, along with expanded notes, a new preface, and an enhanced bibliography. With her introduction and notes, Rayor places the hymns in their historical and aesthetic context, providing the information needed to read, interpret, and fully appreciate these literary windows on an ancient world. As introductions to the Greek gods, entrancing stories, exquisite poetry, and early literary records of key religious rituals and sites, the Homeric Hymns should be read by any student of mythology, classical literature, ancient religion, women in antiquity, or the Greek language.

Abstract

Si l’on en croit l’opinion courante, Aphrodite est par excellence « déesse de l’amour ». C’est à déconstruire une telle évidence que s’attache ce livre où les multiples facettes de la déesse sont explorées afin de rendre à l’éros sa riche polysémie et à la déesse qui « mélange » les corps toute sa complexité. À cette fin, qui met en jeu les mécanismes mêmes du polythéisme grec, sont plus particulièrement analysés le lien génétique d’Aphrodite avec Ouranos, le Ciel, et le couple que la déesse forme avec Arès, le dieu de la fureur guerrière. Sont ainsi abordées les nuances sombres et violentes d’Aphrodite, que les témoignages des Anciens ne manquent pas d’évoquer. Dès lors, la présence de la déesse dans l’univers de la guerre reçoit ici un nouvel éclairage. De la Théogonie d’Hésiode jusqu’aux cultes des cités, en passant par les textes littéraires qui témoignent du lien d’Aphrodite aux humeurs vitales, à la puissance virile et à la fleur de la jeunesse, l’auteur dessine de la déesse un portrait chatoyant, multiforme, ambigu, qui ne perd pas la cohérence que devait évoquer pour un Grec le simple énoncé de son nom.

Abstract

How building and site, technology and topography, interact to create successful buildings and resolve theoretical issues in practice.Although both are central to architecture, siting and construction are often treated as separate domains. In Uncommon Ground, David Leatherbarrow illuminates their relationship, focusing on the years between 1930 and 1960, when utopian ideas about the role of technology in building gave way to an awareness of its disruptive impact on cities and culture. He examines the work of three architects, Richard Neutra, Antonin Raymond, and Aris Konstantinidis, who practiced in the United States, Japan, and Greece respectively.Leatherbarrow rejects the assumption that buildings of the modern period, particularly those that used the latest technology, were designed without regard to their surroundings. Although the prefabricated elements used in the buildings were designed independent of siting considerations, architects used these elements to modulate the environment. Leatherbarrow shows how the role of walls, the traditional element of architectural definition and platform partition, became less significant than that of the platforms themselves, the floors, ceilings, and intermediate levels. He shows how frontality was replaced by the building's four-sided extension into its surroundings, resulting in frontal configurations previously characteristic of the back. Arguing that the boundary between inside and outside was radically redefined, Leatherbarrow challenges cherished notions about the autonomy of the architectural object and about regional coherence. Modern architectural topography, he suggests, is an interplay of buildings, landscapes, and cities, as well as the humans who use them. The conflict between technological progress and cultural continuity, Leatherbarrow claims, exists only in theory, not in the real world of architecture. He argues that the act of building is not a matter of restoring regional identity by re-creating familiar signs, but of incorporating construction into the process of topography's perpetual becoming.

Abstract

Transcriptional regulation is a critical biological process involved in the response of a cell, a tissue or an organism to a variety of intra- and extra-cellular signals. Besides, it controls the establishment and maintenance of cell identity throughout developmental and differentiation programs. This highly complex and dynamic process is orchestrated by a huge number of molecules and protein networks and occurs through multiple temporal and functional steps. Of note, many human disorders are characterized by misregulation of global transcription since most of the signaling pathways ultimately target components of transcription machinery. This book includes a selection of papers that illustrate recent advances in our understanding of transcriptional regulation and focuses on many important topics, from cis-regulatory elements to transcription factors, chromatin regulators and non-coding RNAs, other than several transcriptome studies and computational analyses.
