  • JOURNÉE INTERNATIONALE DES DROITS DE LA FEMME 8 Mars 2019
    JOURNÉE INTERNATIONALE DES DROITS DE LA FEMME 8 mars 2019 « C’est au cours de plusieurs réunions avec les femmes du Cap que tous ces noms d’exception ont émergé. Nous avons sélectionné 40 femmes venues de tous horizons. Chacune d’entre elles ayant marqué le cours de l’histoire quant à l’émancipation de droits des femmes. Ces 40 femmes viendront prendre leur place sur chaque porte de chambres du CHRS le Cap AJD afin de leur rendre hommage. » Laura HUERTAS & Gaëlle HERVE Personnalité forçant l'admiration, Aimee Mullins est une femme dont la vie a commencé par une épreuve qui semblait insurmontable, l'amputation de ses deux jambes. Aujourd'hui, cette Américaine de 34 ans peut être fière d'être une femme engagée, mannequin notamment pour Alexander McQueen, athlète médaillée et actrice pour Oliver Stone parmi d'autres. Marie Skłodowska-Curie, ou simplement Marie Curie, née Maria Salomea Skłodowska le 7 novembre 1867 à Varsovie et morte le 4 juillet 1934 au sanatorium de Sancellemoz situé à Passy (Haute-Savoie, France), est une physicienne et chimiste polonaise, naturalisée française. Marie Curie et Pierre Curie — son époux — reçoivent une moitié du prix Nobel de physique de 1903 (l'autre moitié est remise à Henri Becquerel) pour leurs recherches sur les radiations. En 1911, elle obtient le prix Nobel de chimie pour ses travaux sur le polonium et le radium. Scientifique d'exception, elle est la première femme à avoir reçu le prix Nobel, et à ce jour la seule femme à en avoir reçu deux. Elle reste à ce jour la seule personne à avoir été récompensée dans deux domaines scientifiques distincts.

  • Mozart's Bawdy Canons, Vulgarity and Debauchery at the Wiednertheater
    Eighteenth-Century Music 13/2, 1–26 © Cambridge University Press, 2016 doi:10.1017/S1478570616000087 mozart’s bawdy canons, vulgarity and 1 debauchery at the wiednertheater 2 Q1 david j. buch 3 ! 4 ABSTRACT 5 Mozart’s bawdy canons and use of scatalogical parlance in his letters have been described as indicative of a 6 personality given to crass expression. Moreover, his association with Emanuel Schikaneder’s supposedly dissolute 7 Theater auf der Wieden, a boisterous venue for German stage works, has been taken as further evidence of 8 his profligate tendencies. A review of the original source materials reveals that these views are apocryphal, 9 originating after Mozart’s death and embellished in nineteenth-century commentary and scholarship. Examples 10 of even raunchier canons, composed by musicians with connections to Mozart, Schikaneder and the Theater auf 11 der Wieden, provide new insight into the genre. An examination of surviving bawdy Viennese canons in their 12 social context, together with a reconsideration of the Mozart family letters and attitudes toward vulgarity in 13 Viennese popular theatre, reveals that lewd expressions on the stage were relatively uncommon in this period, 14 that Mozart’s use of scatalogical language was relatively mild for the time and that accounts of the composer’s 15 debauchery in his last years have little evidentiary basis. 16 ! Milos Forman’s 1984 film Amadeus presents a striking picture of Mozart in Emanuel Schikaneder’s theatrical 16 circle at the Freihaus auf der Wieden, a depiction that has been accepted to a degree in some academic 17 commentary.1 The company appears as a lusty troupe of young actors, musicians and circus-like performers 18 regularly indulging in bacchanals.
