Louis de Funès
Tout, tout, tout sur Louis de Funès... La première biographie complète d'un des acteurs préférés des Français, toutes générations confondues. Né à Courbevoie quelques heures avant la déclaration de la Grande Guerre, Louis de Funès aurait eu cent ans en 2014. Le Corniaud, La Grande Vadrouille, Fantômas, La Folie des grandeurs, Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob, L'Aile ou la cuisse, la saga du Gendarme de Saint-Tropez... chacun connaît ses films, synonymes de l'âge d'or de la comédie à la française. Mais que sait-on vraiment de cet homme au génie comique inimitable, que sait-on de son quotidien, de ses galères, lui qui fit mille petits boulots avant de brûler les planches et r...
Cinematic Representations of Alzheimer’s Disease
This book offers a cross-cultural approach to cinematic representations of Alzheimer’s disease in non-mainstream cinema. Even though Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, is a global health issue, it is not perceived or represented homogenously around the world. Contrary to very well-known mainstream films, the films discussed do not focus on the negative aspects normally associated with Alzheimer’s disease, but on the importance of portraying the perspective of the persons living with Alzheimer’s and their personhood. Similarly, this book analyses how the films use Alzheimer’s as a trope to address issues relating to different areas of life and society such as, for example, family matters, intergenerational relationships, gender issues, national traditions versus global modernity, and caring for people with dementia. By examining an array of films, from crime fiction to documentary, that each present non-stigmatising representations of Alzheimer’s disease, this in-depth study ultimately demonstrates the power of culture in shaping meaning.

Corpus Pragmatic Studies on the History of Medical Discourse
The original studies in this volume provide new insights into the history of medical discourse across centuries in both professional and lay texts. The central themes deal with changes in medical writing in various societal and cultural contexts in search for best practices in corpus pragmatics for future work. Some studies apply quantitative methods of corpus linguistics and Digital Humanities, others adopt a qualitative, discourse-analytical perspective, focusing on particular texts, authors or medical topics, or specific functionally-defined discourse forms such as narratives. Quantitative and qualitative approaches are mutually complementary and shed light on different aspects of historical medical discourse. The methodologies aim at establishing validity and reliability for pragmatic analysis, taking into account relevant contextual factors and insights from other fields, such as medical and social history, history of ideas, and science studies.
