"Ancient Women Writers of Greece and Rome features the extant writings of major female authors from the Greco-Roman world, brought together for the first time in a single volume, in both their original languages and translated into English with accompanying commentaries. The most cost-effective and comprehensive way to study the women writers of Greece and Rome, this book provides original texts, accessible text-commentaries, and detailed English translations of the works of ancient female poets and authors such as Sappho and Sulpicia. It takes a student-focused approach, discussing texts alongside new and original English translations and highlighting the rich, diverse scholarship on ancient women writers to specialists and non-specialists alike. The perspectives of women in the ancient world are still relevant and of interest today, as issues of gender and racial (in)equality remain ever-present in modern society. Ancient Women Writers of Greece and Rome provides a valuable teaching tool for students of Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies, as well as those interested in ancient literature, history, and gender studies who do not have proficiency in Greek or Latin"--

Pourquoi la peur reste-t-elle prise en charge par des écrivains africains de générations différentes ? Quelles configurations sociopolitiques se dessinent lorsqu'on passe de l'État espéré de droit à l' État d'insécurité absolue? Avoir peur serait-il un paradigme essentiel de lisibilité de l'expérience postcoloniale ?Partant d'une analyse transversale du roman africain de langue française, les auteurs mettent en lumière la vulnérabilité de sujets qui, suppliciés par des épidémies ou des catastrophes de tous ordres, vivant dans la hantise d'être muselés, arrêtés, torturés par les « forces de l'ordre », milices, bandes criminelles et terroristes islamistes infestant des autocraties tropicales, sont promis à une fin tragique.En offrant des pistes essentielles pour l'interprétation de l'insécurité comme signe , cet essai construit des hypothèses sur le rôle de l'État et le sens du politique en contexte de déréliction. Il détermine également les conditions de possibilités d'une véritable émancipation dans une conjoncture où les autoritarismes les plus brutaux sont pris de panique.

"After the second World War, the term "technology" came to signify both the anxieties of possible annihilation in a rapidly changing world and the exhilaration of accelerating cultural change. Informatics & the New American Poetry examines how some of the most well-known writers of the era described the tensions between the technical, literary and media cultures during the ascendency of computing. Poets and writers such as Allen Ginsberg, Charles Olson, Jack Kerouac and Frank O'Hara, among others anthologized in Donald Allen's iconic The New American Poetry, 1945-1960, provided a canon of work that has proven increasingly relevant to our technological present. Engaging and elaborating upon the theories of contemporaneous technologists such as Norbert Wiener, Claude Shannon, J.C.R. Licklider, and a host of noteworthy others, these artists reveal the anxieties and avant-garde impulses they wrestled with as they came to terms with a complex of issues raised by the dawning of the nuclear age, computer-based automation, and the expansive reach of electronic media. As author Todd Tietchen reveals, even as these writers were generating novel forms and concerns, they often continued to question whether such technological changes were inherently progressive, or geared toward human well-being"-- "After the second World War, the term "technology" came to signify both the anxieties of possible annihilation in a rapidly changing world and the exhilaration of accelerating cultural change. Technomodern Poetics examines how some of the most well-known writers of the era described the tensions between technical, literary, and media cultures at the dawn of the Digital Age. Poets and writers such as Allen Ginsberg, Charles Olson, Jack Kerouac, and Frank O'Hara, among others, anthologized in Donald Allen's iconic The New American Poetry, 1945-1960, provided a canon of work that has proven increasingly relevant to our technological present. Elaborating on the theories of contemporaneous technologists such as Norbert Wiener, Claude Shannon, J. C. R. Licklider, and a host of noteworthy others, these artists express the anxieties and avant-garde impulses they wrestled with as they came to terms with a complex array of issues raised by the dawning of the nuclear age, computer-based automation, and the expansive reach of electronic media. As author Todd Tietchen reveals, even as these writers were generating novel forms and concerns, they often continued to question whether such technological changes were inherently progressive or destructive. With an undeniable timeliness, Tietchen's book is sure to appeal to courses in modern English literature and American studies, as well as among fans of Beat writers and early Cold War culture"--

Ecological Form brings together leading voices in nineteenth-century ecocriticism to suture the lingering divide between postcolonial and ecocritical approaches. Together, these essays show how Victorian thinkers used aesthetic form to engage problems of system, interconnection, and dispossession that remain our own. The authors reconsider Victorian literary structures in light of environmental catastrophe; coordinate “natural” questions with sociopolitical ones; and underscore the category of form as a means for generating environmental—and therefore political—knowledge. Moving from the elegy and the industrial novel to the utopian romance, the scientific treatise, and beyond, Ecological Form demonstrates how nineteenth-century thinkers conceptualized the circuits of extraction and violence linking Britain to its global network. Yet the book’s most pressing argument is that this past thought can be a resource for reimagining the present.
