The sixteenth century in France was marked by religious warfare and shifting political and physical landscapes. Between 1549 and 1584, however, the Pléiade poets, including Pierre de Ronsard, Joachim Du Bellay, Rémy Belleau, and Antoine de Baïf, produced some of the most abiding and irenic depictions of rural French landscapes ever written. In The Poetry of Place, Louisa Mackenzie reveals and analyzes the cultural history of French paysage through her study of lyric poetry and its connections with landscape painting, cartography, and land use history. In the face of destructive environmental change, lyric poets in Renaissance France often wrote about idealized physical spaces, reclaiming the altered landscape to counteract the violence and loss of the period and creating in the process what Mackenzie, following David Harvey, terms 'spaces of hope.' This unique alliance of French Renaissance studies with cultural geography and eco-criticism demonstrates that sixteenth-century poetry created a powerful sense of place which continues to inform national and regional sentiment today.

On July 11, 1780, after a sixty-nine-day voyage, 6,000 French troops under the command of General Rochambeau disembarked in Newport, R.I. Cognizant of the anti-Catholic feelings against France that ran rampant among the general population, the French military officers who arrived in Newport on that July day anxiously descended from their ship, not knowing how they would be received. Once it became clear that the French stay in Newport would last through the winter months, the French soldiers began printing a newspaper, using the press that was carried on board the ship. The first issue of the Newport newspaper, the Gazette Françoise, appeared on November 17, 1780, followed by six consecutiv...
Entre o gentil e o profano: mulheres, corpo e discurso jurídico é uma análise de arquivo jurídico sobre um corpo que enreda o sujeito, que habita o lugar da moralidade corrompida lida a partir do rompimento do hímen. Ainda, é uma reflexão sobre o lugar ocupado por certa sacralidade em que o corpo, os gestos e seus invólucros são personificados nas figuras da virgem Maria e da Maria Madalena, aquela que deveria receber sob a superf ície de seu corpo a pedra jogada por quem nunca pecou. É também um arquivo que revolve a densidade histórica da Pandora mitológica, mulher que trouxe todos os males aos homens da Terra, ressignificada no arquivo jurídico quando da inserção do crime...
