Descriptions du produit Présentation de l'éditeur « On oublie que sous la couche de nos souvenirs d explications de texte, Candide cache un... livre admirable de drôlerie, d aventure, d ironie, d invention et de lucidité, antidote éternel à tous les fanatismes passés, présents et à venir. En faisant ressortir le caractère éminemment burlesque et provocateur de Candide, on amènera plus facilement les lecteurs à découvrir le texte sous un jour nouveau. Mon souhait serait que l on aborde l uvre sans l appréhension d un passage obligé, mais avec la curiosité de la découverte d un conte philosophique, d une "plaisanterie", d une merveilleuse "coiennerie" comme l appelait Voltaire. » - Jean-Marc Rochette --Ce texte fait référence à l’édition Broché....

Moliére was always careful not to attack the institution of monarchy and the authority of the Church. He earned a position as one of the king's... favorites and enjoyed his protection from the attacks of the court. The King allegedly suggested that Molière suspend the performances of Tartuffe, and the author rapidly wrote Don Juan, ou le Festin de Pierre to replace it. It was a strange work, derived from a work by Tirso de Molina and rendered in a prose that still seems modern today. It describes the story of an atheist who becomes a religious hypocrite and for this is punished by God. This work too was quickly suspended. The king, demonstrating his protection once again, became the new official sponsor of Molière's troupe.

Allí entabla relación con distintas personas de la ciudad, fundamentalmente jóvenes, y con las alumnas del instituto, sobre todo con Natalia.

Doug McAdam and David A. Snow's Social Movements: Readings on Their Emergence, Mobilization, and Dynamics is intended for use in courses on social... movements, collective behavior, and political sociology. The reader is distinctive in several respects: * The book is organized sequentially and logically, to facilitate understanding of the dynamics of social movements--from their emergence, through the micromobilization process and tactical action, to outcomes and consequences. This reader is not wedded to a single approach, but exposes students to both resource mobilization and cultural thinking about social movements. * Thought-provoking introductions to each section guide the reader and ease instruction by providing a modular "road map" that highlights key issues and the major contributions of each selection. This lends internal cohesiveness and structure to the articles. * The book covers a wide range of social movements, including the civil rights, women's, pro-choice, and animal rights movements. Also included are works on other types of collective action, such as riots and revolution. A comprehensive appendix provides instructors with alternatives for using the selections. * A significant number of articles in the book are devoted to gender and to cultural issues in relation to social movements. The editors also acknowledge the international operation of social movements by including works from other cultural and national contexts, such as Chile, Germany, Iran, and the Netherlands.

Lesbians, prostitutes, women likely to have sex across racial lines, "brought to the United States for immoral purposes," or "arriving in a state of... pregnancy"-national threats, one and all. Since the late nineteenth century, immigrant women's sexuality has been viewed as a threat to national security, to be contained through strict border-monitoring practices. By scrutinizing this policy, its origins, and its application, Eithne Luibhéid shows how the U.S. border became a site not just for controlling female sexuality but also for contesting, constructing, and renegotiating sexual identity. Initially targeting Chinese women, immigration control based on sexuality rapidly expanded to encompass every woman who sought entry to the United States. The particular cases Luibhéid examines-efforts to differentiate Chinese prostitutes from wives, the 1920s exclusion of Japanese wives to reduce the Japanese-American birthrate, the deportation of a Mexican woman on charges of lesbianism, the role of rape in mediating women's border crossings today-challenge conventional accounts that attribute exclusion solely to prejudice or lack of information. This innovative work clearly links sexuality-based immigration exclusion to a dominant nationalism premised on sexual, gender, racial, and class hierarchies. Eithne Luibhéid is assistant professor of ethnic studies at Bowling Green State University.
