In eighteenth-century England, the encounter between humans and other animals took a singular turn with the discovery of the great apes and the rise of bourgeois pet keeping. These historical changes created a new cultural and intellectual context for the understanding and representation of animal-kind, and the nonhuman animal has thus played a significant role in imaginative literature from that period to the present day.In Homeless Dogs and Melancholy Apes, Laura Brown shows how the literary works of the eighteenth century use animal-kind to bring abstract philosophical, ontological, and metaphysical questions into the realm of everyday experience, affording a uniquely flexible perspective on difference, hierarchy, intimacy, diversity, and transcendence. Writers of this first age of the rise of the animal in the modern literary imagination used their nonhuman characters-from the lapdogs of Alexander Pope and his contemporaries to the ill-mannered monkey of Frances Burney's Evelina or the ape-like Yahoos of Jonathan Swift-to explore questions of human identity and self-definition, human love and the experience of intimacy, and human diversity and the boundaries of convention. Later literary works continued to use imaginary animals to question human conventions of form and thought.Brown pursues this engagement with animal-kind into the nineteenth century-through works by Mary Shelley, Charles Dickens, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning-and into the twentieth, with a concluding account of Paul Auster's dog-novel, Timbuktu. Auster's work suggests that-today as in the eighteenth century-imagining other animals opens up a potential for dissonance that creates distinctive opportunities for human creativity.

"Studies works by Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, and Alexander Pope, as well as lapdog lyrics, circulation narratives, and the poetry of the Lisbon earthquake to discover the counterintuitive, "counterhuman" forces of the realms of the other-than-human that lie beyond the simple control of the human imagination"

Depuis la naissance de la discipline architecturale, les « stars de l'architecture » alimentent une production prestigieuse, traditionnellement réservée aux élites qui s'affranchissent des frontières des États. Depuis la fin du XXe siècle, la globalisation des échanges de services crée un contexte favorable à l'ouverture des marchés du travail de la fabrication du cadre bâti et de l'environnement. Aujourd'hui, des promotions d'étudiants ont plus facilement accès aux études en mobilités, puis aux stages et aux premiers contrats dans des pays étrangers. Comment ces générations se saisissent de telles opportunités ? L'ouvrage propose plusieurs explications : un contexte socio-économique et politique qui dynamise la circulation des compétences ; une diversité de pratiques professionnelles qui élargit la population susceptible de faire carrière à l'étranger ; des aspirations personnelles qui motivent des parcours hors de son pays d'origine. Des portraits, expériences, situations de travail, rendent compte des réalités vécues par les architectes. Cette enquête sociologique menée entre 2013 et 2017 sur l'internationalisation des pratiques révèle une facette originale et méconnue de la profession, qui anticipe un monde professionnel sans frontières
