User de ses sens, c'est faire preuve de délicatesse. On dira d'une oreille qu'elle est fine, d'un palais qu'il est sophistiqué ou d'un toucher qu'il est délicat. Avant tout jugement esthétique, le goût est une affaire de papilles que l'on doit entraîner avec patience. Herman Parret nous rappelle avec force que l'esthétique s'enracine dans une expérience corporelle, qui n'est pas moins perspicace que l'esprit. Notre aisthèsis gagne en finesse quand elle se perd, sans finalité ni idéal, dans les mailles de la matière. La jouissance : tout un art. Celui auquel s'entraîne, dans ses vagabondages toujours exigeants, le felix aestheticus. ; Un recueil de trois nouveaux essais d'esthétique, entre arts visuels et littérature, d'Herman Parret, philosophe déclaré et sémioticien sans le dire, compagnon du club de pensée réuni par Greimas dans les années 1970-80, et depuis lors tout proche témoin de ses prolongements : une réflexion sur la « délicatesse » dans les divers domaines de la sensorialité (le visible, le sonore, le gustatif et le tactile), d'Aristote à Gerhard Richter en passant par Léonard de Vinci, Rameau, Nietzsche, Proust et Marcel Duchamp – une lecture des plus suggestives pour la construction ou le développement d'une sémiotique (du) sensible.

Positions the sensation novel, and nineteenth-century popular fiction more generally, as vital to the history of feelingArgues for the literary significance of this popular formExamines work by lesser-known female writers, such as Caroline Clive, Annie Edwards and Florence WilfordDemonstrates that sensationalism can be traced across a wide range of writers and genres, from spasmodic poetry to the novels of Louisa May AlcottConnects Victorian writing on feeling to contemporary affect theoryNarrative, Affect, and Victorian Sensation: Wilful Bodies argues that Victorian sensation novels - long dismissed as plot-driven, silly, and feminine - develop complex theories of narrative affect, our embodied responses to reading, imagining, and even writing a narrative. The popular sensation novel thus should be understood as a key contribution to the novel's assessment of its own workings, especially the ways in which reading and writing figure as affective acts. Additionally, the book radically expands the field of sensation fiction, taking seriously lesser-known female authors, and reading them alongside a range of writers not typically considered sensational. These novels insist that feelings are not bound to a single body and that bodies generate meaning when they are put in relation to other bodies and systems of knowledge.

Voici une immersion extraordinaire dans une nouvelle dimension : le monde tel qu’il est réellement perçu par les animaux. Un ouvrage qui émerveille et modifiera à jamais notre point de vue sur l’incroyable diversité de la nature qui nous entoure. Ed Yong nous entraîne au-delà de nos propres sens ; non seulement à la découverte de sens inconnus mais aussi au cœur de mondes sensoriels dont nous sous-estimons la richesse. Il nous emmène à la rencontre des coléoptères chasseurs de feu, des tortues qui s’orientent avec les champs magnétiques de la Terre, des poissons qui remplissent les rivières de messages électriques et d’humains qui s’orientent comme les chauves-souris. Nous découvrirons que les écailles de la face du crocodile sont aussi sensibles que le bout de nos doigts, que les yeux d’un calmar géant ont évolué pour repérer des cachalots scintillants, que les plantes vibrent des chants des insectes en pleine parade nuptiale et que de simples pétoncles ont une vision complexe. Un monde stupéfiant de beauté et de poésie, dans la nature sauvage ou dans un simple jardin. Pour comprendre notre monde, inutile de voyager, il suffit de le voir avec d’autres yeux.

Breakthrough pain (BTP) is episodic pain that emerges through the treatment of otherwise well-managed chronic background pain. Often called pain flare or transient pain, BTP negatively affects the function and quality of life of the patient and often results in a number of other physical, psychological and social problems. Breakthrough pain is a common occurrence affecting approximately two-thirds of the estimated 50 to 100 million chronic pain sufferers in the US. It can have multiple causes with various pathophysiologies, and can present with numerous clinical features and complications. The clinical features vary from individual to individual, and may vary within an individual over time. The successful management of breakthrough pain depends on proper assessment, treatment, and reassessment. Inadequate assessment can lead to ineffective or inappropriate treatment. Similarly, inadequate reassessment may lead to continuance of ineffective or even harmful treatment. In recent years, the need to educate physicians about pain management has been garnering increased attention from prominent medical associations and the media. Despite ongoing efforts to improve pain treatment, however, the need persists for evidence-based educational materials for physicians in the area of pain diagnosis and management. Part of the Oxford American Pain Library, this highly practical guide covers current approaches and new developments in the assessment and management of Breakthrough Pain, including both cancer-related pain and non-cancer chronic pain. It addresses the roles of opioid and non-opioid pharmacotherapy and presents non-pharmacologic interventions, as well. This concise yet comprehensive reference on Breakthrough Pain is ideal for palliative care doctors, anesthesiologists, pain medicine specialists and oncologists, as well as for primary care physicians and internists on the frontlines of care.
