Scholars have long known that Chaucer read and was influenced by Dante, but they have debated the effect Dante had on Chaucer's poetry. In this book, the author demonstrates that Chaucer's reaction to The Divine Comedy shaped the most fondamental aspects of his poetic art - the way he handles time within his stories, his attitudes toward language and authority, and above(...)

Résumé:
Anomalie ou transgression d'un ordre normatif, le monstre offre à la contemplation le double visage de l'insolite et du contre-nature, de l'impossible et de l'interdit. Figure effarante ou fascinante d'une humanité problématique, il constitue pour l'historien une entrée singulièrement féconde dans le jeu des anxiétés et dans les systèmes de normes qui régissent les sociétés. A condition toutefois de considérer le monstre, non comme un donné, mais comme une représentation, une construction sociale et culturelle. Dans quelle mesure l'écarte par rapport à la norme peut-il être toléré dans une société donnée? Quels sont les critères de la monstruosité? Quels savoirs, fantasmes et angoisses s'y projettent? Ces questions impliquent de reconstituer, dans leur historicité, les discours, les pratiques, les sensibilités collectives qui fondent le jugement sur le monstrueux. Sauvages «cannibales» découverts par les explorateurs, spécimens tératologiques, phénomènes de foire, clones de laboratoires, créatures cinématographiques ou criminels pervers médiatisés : la vingtaine d'études ici rassemblées retrace une multiplicité d'expériences du monstre, dans les sociétés européennes, mais également dans d'autres aires culturelles, soulignant confrontations et emprunts. De la république romaine jusqu'à nos jours, c'est sur la longue durée qu'elles invitent à explorer les imaginaires sociaux sur les traces du monstre, tout en soulignant l'actualité des questions qu'il pose à nos sociétés.

The large carbon footprint maintenance, its unquenchable thirst for fertilizers, weedkillers, and water, and the notorious unfriendliness towards all forms of wildlife have recently attracted criticism and even spurred an anti-lawn movement.

The large carbon footprint maintenance, its unquenchable thirst for fertilizers, weedkillers, and water, and the notorious unfriendliness towards all forms of wildlife have recently attracted criticism and even spurred an anti-lawn movement. Lawn untangles the colonial-capitalist threads that keep our passion for mown grass alive despite mounting evidence that we'd be better off without it. The lawn is aesthetically and ideologically versatile. From museums and hospitals to corporate headquarters and university campuses, it has become the verdant lingua franca of institutions of all kinds. Its formal homogeneity and neatness imply reliability, constancy, and solicit our trust. But beneath the lawn lies a stratification of intricate ideological and ecological issues that over time have come to define our conception of nature.

Black gold. Liquid sunlight. Texas tea. Oil remains the ur-commodity of our global era, having been distilled from ancient algae and marine life to turn modernity's wheels. Wars are fought over it. Some communities are displaced by its extraction, so that others may reap its benefits. But despite its heated history, few will ever see oil on the ground. Shrouded within a labyrinth of oil fields, pipelines, and manufacturies, it tends to be known only through its magical effects: the thrill of the road, the euphoria of flight, and the metamorphic allure of everything from vinyl records to celluloid film and synthetic clothing. Michael Tondre shows how hydrocarbon became today's pre-eminent power. How did oil come to structure selfhood and social relations? And to what extent is oil not only a commercial product but a cultural one-something shaped by widely imagined dreams and desires? Amid a warming world unleashed by fossil fuels, oil appears as a rich resource for thinking about histories of globalization and technology no less than the energetic underpinnings of literature, film, and art.

Résumé:
Over the span of a single decade, VHS technology changed the relationship between privacy and entertainment, pried open the closed societies behind the Iron Curtain, and then sank back into oblivion. Its meteoric rise and fall encapsulated the dynamics of the '80s and foreshadowed the seismic cultural shifts to come after the Cold War. In the West, its advent deepened the trends of the age: individualism, consumerism, the fragmentation of society, and the consolidation of corporate power in the entertainment industry and its victory over the regulatory powers of the state. In the East, it encouraged new forms of socialization and economic exchanges, while announcing the gradual crumbling of government control over the imagination of the people. By the mid-1990s, the VHS format was displaced by the DVD. The DVD would eventually give way to streaming. Yet the cultural legacy of the videotape continues to inform our relationship to technology, privacy, and to entertainment.
