This is the first critical work on the history of the French Riviera from its origins in the eighteenth century to the present day in the English language. It makes the argument that multi-faceted power and violence – war, murder, land dispossession and other privations targeted at the poor, imperialism and ecological degradation (land, sea, rivers and air) – has been integral to the making of the Côte d’Azur. Invariably, this has been downplayed in previous general histories that tend to focus on the personal lives and loves of famous outsiders. In effect, the complex general history of the place is rarely told. Bryant seeks to set that record straight in an innovative work crisscrossing the borders of European and imperial history, geography, politics and environmental studies that will be of interest to an array of scholars, students and general readers who wish to learn about how the planet’s most famous coastal resort was made.

This collection of essays explores how Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment developments in the earth sciences and related fields (paleontology, mining, archeology, seismology, oceanography, evolution, etc.) impacted on contemporary French culture. They reveal that geological ideas were a much more pervasive and influential cultural force than has hitherto been supposed. From the mid-eighteenth century, with the publication of Buffon’s seminal Théorie de la Terre (1749), until the early twentieth century, concepts and figures drawn from the earth sciences inspired some of the most important French philosophers, novelists, political theorists, historians and popularizers of science of the ...
This volume, which gathers contributions presented at the annual conferences of l'Association pour le développement de l'histoire culturelle (ADHC), questions the subjects and boundaries of cultural history in France – with regard to neighboring approaches such as cultural studies, media studies, and gender studies – to elaborate a "social history of representations." Historians, philosophers and sociologists address a large variety of topics and methodological proposals. Definitions, objects and actors, memories and cultural transfers: this book depicts the major questions that underlie the historical debate at the beginning of the 21st century.
Um livro sobre o maravilhoso método facilitador da resolução de problemas através dos livros. A biblioterapia permite cuidar do desenvolvimento contínuo do ser humano, através da relação subjectiva e existencial que cada um estabelece com as histórias, sejam elas lidas em silêncio, narradas por outrem ou dramatizadas. O objectivo é melhorar o estado de espírito e o bem-estar de qualquer pessoa. O processo biblioterapêutico divide-se em quatro fases: identificação, quando o leitor se reconhece nos conflitos dos personagens; catarse, na libertação de sentimentos reprimidos através dos desafi os vividos por aqueles; discernimento, contraponto entre a sua experiência e a dos p...

De Maurice Sand, l’histoire culturelle et littéraire n’a en général retenu que son état de fils bien-aimé de la plus célèbre écrivaine du 19 e siècle. Pourtant, son oeuvre – qui allie peinture, dessin, illustration, théâtre, histoire de l’art et sciences naturelles – porte la marque d’un créateur original et cohérent. Dans cette première étude exhaustive et magnifiquement illustrée, Lise Bissonnette présente l’oeuvre de Maurice Sand enfin vue comme un ensemble et explore les mécanismes de sa méconnaissance historique. Elle en dévoile une cause déterminante : sa transversalité, irrecevable en un siècle qui n’y voyait que de la dispersion, mais qui est pa...
