"Asymptote: An Approach to Decadent Fiction offers a radically new approach to the psychology of Decadent creation. Rejecting traditional arguments that Decadence is a celebration of deviance and exhaustion, this study presents the fin-de-siècle novel as a transformative process, a quest for health. By allowing the writer to project into fiction unwanted traits and destructive tendencies--by permitting the playful invention of provisional identities--Decadent creation itself becomes a dynamic act of creative regeneration. In describing the interrelationship of Decadent authors and their fictions, Asymptote uses the mathematical figure of the asymptote to show how they converge, then split apart, and grow distant. The author's approach to the facsimile selves he plays with and discards is the curve that never merges with his authorial identity."--From publisher description.

The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an important and increasingly popular tourist destination. The Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation. Interest is also being sharpened in the ‘places of war’ as battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a clearer identity as war heritage. For the first time this book brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered nature of the Western Front. The book approaches the area as a rich dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually. To illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the region’s landscape – commemorative and heritage – are highlighted and their relationship to tourism explored. Tourism is a lens through which these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted with according to the individual’s own knowledge, motivation, and degree of emotional engagement. Tourism is not regarded here as a passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine, dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape. The Western Front: Landscape, Tourism and Heritage is a timely addition to our increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it was fought. It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued perspectives.

This study examines Calvin's belief that he was a prophet 'placed over nations and kingdoms to tear down and destroy, to build and to plant'. With this authority, Calvin pursued an expansionist agenda which blended religious, political, and social aspects towards the goal of a Protestant France.

In his grotto and garden concepts, Bernard Palissy (1510-1590) developed the veristic "style rustique". It reflects the upheavals that transformed Renaissance Europe, particularly in the fields of religion and science. Juliette Ferdinand addresses all of Palissy's areas of interest, including ceramics, garden art, and natural philosophy. She sheds light on his demand for a reform of science and religion that should be guided by a return to the origins of nature and scripture. Beyond the astonishment that their appearance still arouses in the viewer, it is the complexity and richness of an era that the "rustic figulines" testify to. In seinen Grotten und Gartenkonzepten entwickelte Bernard Palissy (1510-1590) den veristischen "style rustique". In ihm spiegeln sich die Umbrüche wider, die das Europa der Renaissance insbesondere in Religion und Wissenschaft grundlegend verändert haben. Juliette Ferdinand setzt sich mit allen Interessensgebieten von Palissy auseinander, darunter Keramik, Gartenkunst und Naturphilosophie. Sie beleuchtet seine Forderung nach einer Reform von Wissenschaft und Religion, die bestimmt sein sollte von der Rückbesinnung auf die Ursprünge der Natur und der Schriften. Die "rustic figulines", die auch den heutigen Betrachter noch in Staunen versetzen, zeugen von der Komplexität und dem Reichtum einer ganzen Ära.

The extraordinary story of African American composer Edmond Dédé, raised in antebellum New Orleans, and his remarkable career in France In 1855, Edmond Dédé, a free black composer from New Orleans, emigrated to Paris. There he trained with France's best classical musicians and went on to spend thirty-six years in Bordeaux leading the city's most popular orchestras. How did this African American, raised in the biggest slave market in the United States, come to compose ballets for one of the best theaters outside of Paris and gain recognition as one of Bordeaux's most popular orchestra leaders? Beginning with his birth in antebellum New Orleans in 1827 and ending with his death in Paris in 1901, Sally McKee vividly recounts the life of this extraordinary man. From the Crescent City to the City of Light and on to the raucous music halls of Bordeaux, this intimate narrative history brings to life the lost world of exiles and travelers in a rapidly modernizing world that threatened to leave the most vulnerable behind.

Créée en 1986, Mappemonde vise à mettre en valeur l’image géographique sous toutes ses formes : image fixe ou animée, cartographie statique, dynamique, interactive, modèles, graphes, réseaux, croquis, cartogrammes, SIG… en défendant une large ouverture thématique. Par cette orientation, la revue cherche à encourager la réflexion sur les apports de l’image à la compréhension de l’organisation de l’espace et des dynamiques territoriales, ce qui constitue d’ailleurs son objectif scientifique principal.

De la guillotine on ne retient jamais que l’effet de rupture, l’effondrement d’un monde auquel la Terreur met un terme, définitivement. C’est oublier que la guillotine s’inscrit dans la mémoire, qu’elle découpe alors un nouvel espace de représentation auquel la peinture, la photographie, le cinématographe, musées de cires et salons de coiffure, se trouvent assujettis... Visages plus purs exaltés par la lunette, visions fugitives - « Un éclair... puis la nuit ! »- qui obéissent à la logique de l’instantané : le fil de la guillotine commande l’exposition romanesque du visage. L’échafaud fonde une scène nouvelle, suscite une constellation d’images et de textes. Singulière machine, -appareil funèbre, -vrai objet de désir. La littérature romanesque du xixe siècle se renouvelle, s’édifie, s’échafaude à partir de la guillotine, avec vue sur la Grève.

Première édition de la correspondance intégrale de Geneviève Straus avec ses cousins Halévy, en particulier avec Ludovic qui fut un interlocuteur constant de 1862 à 1908. La nature même des sources que constitue cette correspondance intime a permis d’établir, au rythme des échanges épistolaires, une biographie de Geneviève Halévy-Bizet-Straus, de révéler des événements ignorés de sa vie, de connaître les circonstances qui ont déterminé son destin et les chemins par lesquels l’épouse de Georges Bizet est devenue madame Straus, l’amie et l’égérie de Proust, et de bien d’autres. Des milieux du spectacle aux coulisses des théâtres, musiciens et aussi actrices de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle nous apparaissent sous les feux de la rampe comme dans leur intimité. De Nice annexée depuis peu, de Paris assiégé puis bouleversé par la Commune, Geneviève et Ludovic Halévy s’écrivent régulièrement. Dans leur correspondance, toute la société d’alors défile, au rythme de leurs engagements artistiques et professionnels, de leurs relations d’amitié, voire de haine au moment de l’Affaire Dreyfus. Parents, amis, relations composent un monde cosmopolite où se mêlent des personnages du Second Empire, aristocrates, académiciens et hommes politiques, artistes, écrivains, célébrités du moment et gloires confirmées par le temps. Cette correspondance propose une perception immédiate, riche, une vision « à chaud » des événements avant qu’ils ne deviennent l’Histoire avec en toile de fond, la société parisienne saisie sur le vif.

Ce volume célèbre la rencontre des cultures irlandaise et française. Il met l’accent sur la richesse et la variété des échanges qui se sont déployés sous formes de lectures et d’écritures croisées, et ce jusqu’à l’époque moderne. On trouve dans cet ouvrage un écho des entrelacs multiples sur lesquels plusieurs auteurs apportent des regards critiques, en mettant l’accent sur les enrichissements réciproques qui se sont opérés. Les rencontres évoquées renvoient à des champs pluriels, incluant la littérature, l’histoire de la pensée, et même l’histoire des théories économiques. Le champ d’exploration retenu ne se limite pas à la période contemporaine, mais inclut des regards posés sur le passé. Malgré les décalages, les hiatus dans le temps et dans l’Histoire entre l’Irlande et la France - et des imaginaires différents - ces cultures se sont rencontrées sous des formes originales dont quelques aspects sont évoqués ici.
