Figures de l'imaginaire contemporain PDF By:Florence Giust-Desprairies,Cédric Faure Published on 2015-02-02 by Archives contemporaines A quelles sources se rêve aujourd'hui notre monde commun ? De quels imaginaires sommes-nous les contemporains ? Le livre présente une réflexion sur l’imaginaire et sur ses expressions sociales dans la société actuelle. Cette réflexion prend pour référence centrale la conception de Cornélius Castoriadis qui fait de l’imaginaire un élément inaugural, irréductible, au centre de la construction sociale-historique et de la psyché, comme création à l’œuvre dans la société et l’histoire. Il s’agit, dans cet ouvrage, d’une analyse des processus et des contenus qui attestent de la manière dont la collectivité crée des imaginaires sociaux qui à la fois se nourrissent des problématiques subjectives et contribuent à les façonner. La diversité des expressions de l’imaginaire social nous a conduit à questionner le statut contemporain du sens en se faisant att...

Rendering Life Molecular PDF By:Natasha Myers Published on 2015-08-07 by Duke University Press What are living bodies made of? Protein modelers tell us that our cells are composed of millions of proteins, intricately folded molecular structures on the scale of nanoparticles. Proteins twist and wriggle as they carry out the activities that keep cells alive. Figuring out how to make these unruly substances visible, tangible, and workable is a challenging task, one that is not readily automated, even by the fastest computers. Natasha Myers explores what protein modelers must do to render three-dimensional, atomic-resolution models of these lively materials. Rendering Life Molecular shows that protein models are not just informed by scientific data: model building entangles a modeler’s entire sensorium, and modelers must learn to feel their way through the data in order to interpret molecular forms. Myers takes us into protein modeling laboratories and classrooms, tracking how gesture, aff...

Le théâtre contemporain PDF By:Patrice Pavis Published on 2004-12-13 by Armand Colin Proposer une méthode d'interprétation des pièces modernes et contemporaines, malgré la multiplicité et la richesse de leurs formes, tel est l'objet de cet ouvrage. Cette étude décrit et interprète neuf pièces du répertoire actuel, donnant des pistes de lecture du texte dramatique contemporain. Elle se place dans la perspective d'un lecteur découvrant le texte sans l'aide de la mise en scène, sans connaissance préalable et précise de l'auteur, de ses oeuvres et de ses idées sur le monde. Une fois exposée la méthode, les pièces de Sarraute, Vinaver, Koltès, Reza, Minyana, Lagarce, Novarina, Durringer, Cormann sont abordées en elles-mêmes avec les outils adéquats pour les interpréter et pour dégager peu à peu un mode de lecture applicable à d'autres pièces contemporaines. Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants en lettres et en théâtre, aux élèves comédiens ainsi qu'au public géné...

The Destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah, and Jericho PDF By:David Neev,K. O. Emery Published on 1995-08-10 by Oxford University Press The story of the destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah, and Jericho--three cities situated along a major fault line extending 1,100 kilometers from the Red Sea to Turkey--is the oldest such description in human history. In this book, noted geologists K.O. Emery and David Neev have revisited that story to shed light on what happened there some 4,350 years ago. With all the benefits of modern geological and forensic science techniques at their disposal, the authors explore an area where earthquakes, volcanic activity, variations in the Dead Sea's level, and oscillations between arid and wet climates have affected life there for over 10,000 years. In reviewing the geology, biblical paleogeography, and limnology of the region, the authors have produced fascinating insights into the tectonic and climatic changes that have occurred in the region over the last 6,000 ye...

Itinéraires du roman contemporain PDF By:Roger Godard Published on 2006-01-26 by Armand Colin Les romans de parution récente qui constituent l'|extrême contemporain| de la littérature bénéficient, le cas échéant, de la faveur du public et de l'attention des médias, mais l'analyse littéraire proprement dite les délaisse... le temps qu'ils aient cessé d'être contemporains ! La présente étude a le mérite d'aller à la rencontre des auteurs qui animent notre actualité et de leurs textes : Sylvie Germain, Joëlle Miquel, Patrick Modiano, Philippe Claudel, Mathieu Riboulet, Philippe Besson, Richard Millet, Jean Echenoz, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Pascal Quignard, Françoise Moreau, Lydie Salvayre et François Bon. L'auteur nous permet d'appréhender toute la richesse de parcours différents, voire divergents, mais dont chacun témoigne, à sa manière, de l'évolution de nos goûts et de nos sensibilités. Roger Godard est chargé de programmes au Pôle langue française d...
