Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze Perspectives on gender class and politics in the Heptaméron

Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze Perspectives on gender class and politics in the Heptaméron

Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron composed in the 1540s and first published posthumously in 1558 and 1559 has long been an interpretive puzzle. De Navarre (1492-1549) sister of King Francis I of France was a controversial figure in her lifetime. Her evangelical activities and proximity to the Crown placed her at the epicenter of her country’s internecine strife and societal unrest. Yet her short stories appear to offer few traces of the sociopolitical turbulence that surrounded her. In Marguerite de Navarre’s Shifting Gaze however Elizabeth Zegura argues that the Heptaméron’s innocuous appearance camouflages its serious insights into patriarchy and gender social class and early modern French politics which emerge from an analysis of the text’s shifting perspectives. Zegura’s approach which focuses on visual cues and alternative standpoints and viewing positions within the text hinges upon foregrounding les choses basses (lowly things) to which the devisante (storyteller) Oisille draws our attention in nouvelle (novella) 2 of the Heptaméron using this downward archaeological gaze to excavate layers of the text that merit more extensive critical attention. While her conclusions cast a new light on the literature life and times of Marguerite de Navarre they are nevertheless closely aligned with recent scholarship on this important historical and literary figure. | Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze Perspectives on gender class and politics in the Heptaméron

What is this thing called Metaethics?

What is this thing called Metaethics?

What makes something morally right? Where do our ethical standards come from? Are they relative to cultures or timeless and universal? Are there any objective moral facts? What is goodness?

These are all questions in metaethics the branch of ethics that investigates the status of morality the nature of ethical value the possibility of ethical knowledge and the meaning of ethical statements.

The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth

The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth

In The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology: The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth Inácio Cunha explores the motif of lower limbs by amplifying their symbolism from a wide range of source materials including an intriguing statuette from prehistoric Brazilian culture. Taking a Jungian perspective Cunha gathers and compares rich material from different historical anthropological and mythological viewpoints as well as from fetish dreams fairy tales and physical symptoms. Noticing how often the subject of legs and feet manifested in his analytical practice not only as symptoms but also as dreams and fantasies Cunha set out to deeply scrutinize our symbolic understanding of these body segments. By observing the lower limbs in the context of evolution and their occurrence in mythology he proposes a parallel between the evolution in the manner of walking in different species and the development of consciousness. Cunha also surveys dreams relating to these body parts in multiple manifestations as part of complexes fantasies and fetishes and through the description of physical marks spots and injuries. Mythological icons such as Ulysses Achilles Oedipus Jacob and others are utilized to amplify the meaning of the feet and legs as far as their psychological meaning is concerned. The book also explores the lower limbs as a sign of creativity and projection of creative power before moving to investigate a clay icon from a pre-Columbian indigenous tribe the Tapajó: an ancient statuette of a girl with her left big toe in her mouth. Cunha analyzes the relevance of this image as an archetypal pattern occurring not only in his clinical work— in clients’ dreams and physical and emotional issues related to their lower limbs—but also in other cultures’ depictions of the left toe in stories and images. The utilization of material gathered in his extensive research from multiple sources characterizes the method of amplification advocated in analytical psychology as a possibility to extract symbolic meaning of a given image. The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology: The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth is an original overview of a rarely examined part of analytical psychology and symbolism and will have great appeal to Jungian analysts analytical psychologists and psychotherapists interested in somatic psychosomatic and symbolical understanding. It will also be of interest to academics and students of Jungian studies psychotherapy mythology anthropology history and symbolism. | The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Maria Scott's study of the operation of irony in Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris contends that the principal target of the collection's spleen is its own readership. Baudelaire as one of the most perceptive cultural commentators of the nineteenth century was naturally very keenly aware of the growing dominance of the bourgeoisie in France not least as a market for art and literature. Despite being dependent on this market for his own writing the poet was highly critical of bourgeois values and attitudes. Scott builds on existing criticism of the collection to argue that these are indirectly mocked in Le Spleen de Paris often in the person of the poet's supposed textual alter ego. The contention is that the prose poems betray the trust of readers by way of an apparent transparency of meaning that functions to blind us to their embedded irony. Though focused on Le Spleen de Paris Scott's study engages with the full range of Baudelaire's writings including his art and literary criticism. Her book will be of interest not only to Baudelaire scholars but also to those engaged more generally with nineteenth-century French culture. | Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

Dam Safety Management is a major concern during the entire lifetime cycle of a dam scheme. This is particularly true for the operational phase of the scheme that represents by far the longest period in its lifetime cycle. Bulletin 154 presented a general approach and concepts to be applied to dam operation. The current Bulletin 175 extends the developed concepts to all phases preceding the operational phase. Many risks associated with the operation of existing dams have their origins in other phases preceding the actual operation. Although there are numerous ICOLD Bulletins addressing technical aspects of planning design construction and commissioning of dams there is not a single Bulletin which covers the subject in a comprehensive manner. The current document is a first attempt to capture all relevant dam safety aspects in all preoperational phases by systematically characterizing the actors involved their roles the activities and complex interactions present in different phases of the dam lifecycle. An Overarching Safety Management System is specifically developed that can be applied to all actors involved. La gestion de la sécurité des barrages est une préoccupation majeure pendant tout le cycle de vie d'un projet de barrage. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour la phase opérationnelle du système qui représente de loin la période la plus longue de son cycle de vie. Le Bulletin 154 présente une approche générale et des concepts à appliquer à l'exploitation des barrages. Le Bulletin 175 actuel étend les concepts développés à toutes les phases précédant la phase d'exploitation. De nombreux risques associés à l'exploitation des barrages existants ont leur origine dans d'autres phases précédant l'exploitation proprement dite. Bien qu'il existe de nombreux bulletins ICOLD traitant des aspects techniques de la planification de la conception de la construction et de la mise en service des barrages il n'existe pas un seul bulletin qui couvre le sujet de manière exhaustive. Le document actuel est une première tentative de capturer tous les aspects pertinents de la sécurité des barrages dans toutes les phases pré-opérationnelles en caractérisant systématiquement les acteurs impliqués leurs rôles les activités et les interactions complexes présentes dans les différentes phases du cycle de vie du barrage. Un système global de gestion de la sécurité est spécifiquement développé et peut être appliqué à tous les acteurs impliqués. | Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

De-Pathologizing Resistance Anthropological Interventions

De-Pathologizing Resistance Anthropological Interventions

In a time of renewed interest in insurrectionary movements urban protest and anti-austerity indignation the idea of resistance is regaining its relevance in social theory. De-Pathologizing Resistance re-examines resistance as a concept that can aid social analysis highlighting the dangers of pathologising resistance as illogical and abnormal or exoticising it in romanticised but patronising terms. Taking a de-pathologising and de-exoticising perspective this book brings together insights from older and newer studies the intellectual biographies of its contributing authors and case studies of resistance in diverse settings such as Egypt Greece Israel and Mexico. From feminist studies to plaza occupations and anti-systemic uprisings there is an emerging need to connect the analysis of contemporary protest movements under a broader theoretical re-examination. The idea of resistance—with all of its contradictions and its dynamism—provides such a challenging opportunity. This book was originally published as a special issue of History and Anthropology. | De-Pathologizing Resistance Anthropological Interventions

Marie Jeanne Riccoboni’s Epistolary Feminism Fact Fiction and Voice

Marie Jeanne Riccoboni’s Epistolary Feminism: Fact Fiction and Voice argues that Riccoboni is among the most significant women writers of the French Enlightenment due to her epistolary feminism. Locating its source in her first novel Lettres de Mistriss Fanni Butlerd (1757) between fact and fiction public and private Marijn S. Kaplan provides new evidence supporting both the novel’s autobiography theory and de Maillebois hypothesis. Kaplan then traces how Riccoboni progressively develops a proto-feminist poetics of voice in her epistolary fiction empowering women to resist patriarchal efforts to silence and appropriate them which culminates in her final novel Lettres de Milord Rivers (1777). In nineteen relatively unknown letters (included with translations) written over three decades to her publisher Humblot several editors Diderot Laclos Philip Thicknesse etc. Riccoboni is shown similarly to defend her oeuvre her reputation and her authority as a woman (writer) refusing to be manipulated and silenced by men. | Marie Jeanne Riccoboni’s Epistolary Feminism Fact Fiction and Voice

De Facto States in Eurasia

De Facto States in Eurasia

This book explores the phenomenon of de facto states in Eurasia: states such as Abkhazia Nagorno-Karabakh and the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic. It examines how they are formed what sustains them and how their differing development trajectories have unfolded. It argues that most of these de facto states have been formed with either direct or indirect support from Russia but they all have their own internal logic and are not simply puppets in the hands of a powerful patron. The book provides detailed case studies and draws out general patterns and compares present-day de facto states with de facto states which existed in the past.

A Theory of De Facto States Classical Realism and Exceptional Polities

A Theory of De Facto States Classical Realism and Exceptional Polities

A Theory of De Facto States offers a new perspective on the phenomenon of de facto states — political communities that manifest forms of statehood in international politics but lack international legal recognition — zooming in on two prominent examples Somaliland and Kosovo. Employing a thorough understanding of classical realist theories of international relations this book provides a fresh critique of the common ways in which existing research tends to identify the ostensible state features of these communities. In contrast to the prevalent portrayals of such features in terms of international legal discursive and/or everyday logics this book argues that de facto states can be most fundamentally characterised as exceptional polities in international relations. Showcasing how the statehood and sovereignty of de facto states is based in international political crises this book concludes that these entities function as recurring disruptions of any supposed international political order. A Theory of De Facto States will therefore be of interest to researchers of secession de facto statehood and International Relations theory alike. | A Theory of De Facto States Classical Realism and Exceptional Polities
