Ce volume réunit 16 contributions de chercheurs internationaux autour d’un sujet encore peu étudié en traductologie, à savoir la traduction de la littérature grand public et de la vulgarisation. Par leur vocation populaire, la vulgarisation scientifique et la littérature grand public souffrent traditionnellement d’un manque de reconnaissance dans la recherche, malgré un lectorat très vaste. La vulgarisation scientifique s’inscrit aujourd’hui dans une démarche reconnue et encouragée, qui consiste à diffuser les résultats de la recherche en dehors des cercles des initiés. Elle procède de la simplification d’un discours plus spécialisé via une démarche de réécriture...
Souvenirs personnels, opinions polémiques, débats théoriques : l'école est au carrefour de toutes les réactions. Or, la littérature s'est toujours emparée de cet univers si singulier. Elle permet aussi de révéler un brouillage générique sans précédent entre romans, autobiographies et témoignages. Les Tableaux d'école que proposent Rousseau, Rétif de la Bretonne, Chateaubriand, Balzac, Flaubert, Vallès ou Alain-Fournier etc., constituent un thème privilégié pour dire l'Homme.
Alzire first appeared on the stage in 1736 to great acclaim and success. Alzire is set Lima, Peru, at the time of the Spanish conquest. Don Gusman, a Spanish grandee, has just succeeded his father, Don Alvarez, in the Governorship of Peru. The rule of Don Alvarez had been beneficent and just; he had spent his life in endeavoring to soften the cruelty of his countrymen; and his only remaining wish was to see his son carry on the work which he had begun. Unfortunately, however, Don Gusman's temperament was the very opposite of his father's; he was tyrannical, harsh, headstrong, and bigoted. It is in vain that Don Alvarez reminds his son that the true Christian returns good for evil and as a result tragedy insues. Wilder Publications is a green publisher.

In the 1990s, in Mauritius, a woman arrives in the village of Terre Rouge, on the Northwest cost of the island. It is the day of the Ceremony, the day on which she married a man for revenge. It s raining. Reddish mud stains her bridal sari. She thinks she s come, befittingly, to a place of death. But she doesn t know that here, she will receive several gifts: the friendship of Mitsy, the woman with the chipped-glass voice who wears many colours, but for whom a red dress is the sign of her fidelity; a laughter that will free her for the first time from the grief that has filled her all her life; and most of all, Zil, the Creole fisherman whose love gives her back to herself.
This highly original and personal exploration of Tadao Ando’s work, one of Japan’s leading architects, traverses both the physical and spiritual world. In 2012, Philippe Séclier visited Tadao Ando’s iconic Church of the Light, and was immediately compelled to journey around the world to further study the architect’s buildings. This unique presentation of Ando’s work is the result of what turned into a nine-year project to photograph 130 buildings.

Loosely organized by chronology, each building is represented in numerous black and white images, ...
