Première dame
L'ambassade des États-Unis de New Delhi est en ébullition. Jul Solri, l'épouse de l'un des dictateurs les plus redoutés au monde, souhaite s'entretenir avec l'ambassadeur. Comment a-t-elle réussi à échapper à ses gardes du corps ? Pourquoi s'est-elle rendue dans l'antre de la puissance ennemie ? A-t-elle conscience que sa présence pourrait déclencher un conflit sans précédent ? Lorsqu'elle formule sa requête, le diplomate est sidéré : la Première dame souhaite obtenir un visa... de tourisme ! Demande aussi incongrue qu'irrecevable. Mais quand la jeune femme dévoile son cou meurtri, il comprend qu'elle est en fuite. Convaincu qu'il tient le moyen de briser le régime totalitaire, il la pousse à révéler les crimes perpétrés par son mari. C'est à cette seule condition qu'il l'aidera. Le compte à rebours est lancé.

Dans ce jeu de dupes, chacun avance ses pions, masqué, et celui qui croyait mener la partie aurait bien tort de sous-estimer l'adversaire.

Explaining Emotions
The challenge of explaining the emotions has engaged the attention of the best minds in philosophy and science throughout history. Part of the fascination has been that the emotions resist classification. As adequate account therefore requires receptivity to knowledge from a variety of sources. The philosopher must inform himself of the relevant empirical investigation to arrive at a definition, and the scientist cannot afford to be naive about the assumptions built into his conceptual apparatus. The contributors to this volume have approached the problem of characterizing and classifying emotions from the perspectives of neurophysiology, psychology, and social psychology as well as that of philosophical psychology. They discuss the difficulties that arise in classifying the emotions, assessing their appropriateness and rationality, and determining their function in motivating moral action.
À la rencontre du cinéma français
À la rencontre du cinéma français: analyse, genre, histoire is intended to serve as the core textbook in a wide variety of upper-level undergraduate and graduate French cinema courses. In contrast to content-, theme-, or issue-based approaches to film, Professor Berg stresses “the cinematically specific, the warp and fabric of the film itself, the stuff of which it is made.” Sufficient proficiency in French is the sole prerequisite: “No previous background in film studies is assumed, nor is any prior acquaintance with French cinema. It will help, of course, to like movies, and to have seen quite a few…” (from the preface).
