Una paradoja moviente
Loïe Fuller, retrospectivamente considerada por la historia de la danza como una de las "pioneras" de la danza moderna, nació en las afueras de Chicago, dejó los Estados Unidos para instalarse en París, donde hizo su debut en escenas de cabaret y teatro en 1892 presentando su "danza serpentina", a la que siguieron otras. Estas obras constituyen una experiencia radicalmente novedosa para lo que era, hasta ese momento, la danza que se veía en escenarios. Se aleja por igual de los ballets clásicos como de la danza de cabaret. El interés profundo por crear combinaciones entre luz y movimiento que guía toda la obra de Loïe Fuller sitúa su danza en un cruce singular entre creación técnica y estética. Con Fuller, se inaugura un hacer danza que es ante todo un deshacer la danza, anclándola en la materialidad concreta, técnica y estética a la vez, de su cuerpo en movimiento. La histórica posibilidad de tener acceso a la filmación –por los hermanos Lumière– de la danza de Loïe Fuller nos adentra en los haces problemáticos en torno a movimientos e imágenes que atravesaban su época.
Dictionary of French Family Names in North America
This dictionary contains data not only on the origins of French surnames in Québec and Acadia, a great many of which eventually spread to many parts of North America, but also on those which arrived in the United States directly from various French-speaking European and Caribbean countries. In addition to providing the etymology of the original surnames, it also lists the multifarious variants that have developed over the last four centuries. A unique feature of this work in comparison to other onomastics dictionaries is the inclusion of genealogical information on most of the Francophone migrants to this continent, something which has been rendered possible not only by the excellent record-keeping in French Canada since the very beginnings of the colony, but also through the explosion of such data on the internet in the last couple of decades. In sum, this dictionary serves the dual purpose of providing information on the meanings of French family names on the North American continent, as well as on the migrants who brought them there.

Arts, Ecologies, Transitions
Arts, Ecologies, Transitions provides in-depth insights into how aesthetic relations and current artistic practices are fundamentally ecological and intrinsically connected to the world. As art is created in a given historic temporality, it presents specific modalities of productive and sensory relations to the world. With contributions from 49 researchers, this book tracks evolutions in the arts that demonstrate an awareness of the environmental, economic, social, and political crises. It proposes interdisciplinary approaches to art that clarify the multiple relationships between art and ecology through an exploration of key concepts such as collapsonauts, degrowth, place, recycling, and wa...
Huguenot Church in Charleston, The
Discover the history and heritage of the last Huguenot Church in America and national landmark located in Charleston, South Carolina. The Huguenot heritage in the United States cannot be overstated. In the latter part of the sixteenth century, France was plunged into a series of religious wars. In 1589, Henry of Navarre became Henry IV of France, but peace was not achieved until he issued the Edict of Nantes in 1598, which recognized the Huguenots' right to worship in the towns they controlled. While Henry IV lived, the financial and military security of the country was ensured. After his assassination in 1610, it ceased. Religious persecution resumed, and in 1685, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes, and many French Protestants fled. Of the estimated 180,000 Huguenot refugees, approximately 3,000 crossed the Atlantic. This book is about their descendants and their influence on the development of the American republic and the rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. The Huguenot Church in Charleston, a national landmark, is the last Huguenot church in America.
