  • Librologie 8 : Les Petits Cœurs De Tatie Nina
    Librologie 8 : Les petits cœurs de tatie Nina Bonjour à vous, courageux public du Framablog ! Avec l’épisode d’aujourd’hui et le prochain, qui concluera cette première partie de saison Librologique, je vous propose d’ébaucher le portrait de deux personnalités importantes du monde Libre, parfois complémentaires, parfois opposées. Contrairement à Linus Torvalds ou Richard Stallman avec qui nous avions ouvert ces chroniques, il ne s’agit pas là de programmeurs ni de techniciens, mais d’auteurs : de ces auteurs qui réfléchissent sur leur propre droit — puisque le droit d’auteur, c’est bien conçu pour… les auteurs, non ? (Comment ça, « rien compris » ?) V. Villenave. Librologie 8 : Les petits cœurs de tatie Nina « En 1988, à l’âge tendre de 20 ans, je quittai ma ville natale de Urbana, Illinois, pour Santa Cruz en Californie, afin d’y poursuivre le rêve naïf de devenir hippie, new-age et ésotérique. Au lieu de quoi je suis devenue illustratrice et cynique. » C’est ainsi que Nina Paley raconte son histoire, de la banlieue de Chicago (Urbana, dont son père a été un maire courageux) à la Californie — le choix de Santa Cruz n’est pas innocent : indissociable des bouleversements sociaux des années 1960-1970, cette ville correspond bien à l’arrière-plan idéologique de la « Nouvelle Gauche » de cette époque, effectivement liée au mouvement hippie, mais également à l’avènement d’une conception nouvelle des sciences humaines (sociologie, psychiatrie alternative,…). Avec toutefois une tournure moins optimiste dans le cas de Paley : par exemple, elle revendique son choix de ne pas faire d’enfants comme un choix militant ; membre revendiquée duMouvement pour l’Extinction Volontaire de l’Espèce Humaine, sa principale préoccupation politique (tout au moins dans la période 1995-2005) semble être la surpopulation humaine.

  • Tragedy, Euripides, Melodrama: Hamartia, Medea, Liminality
    Vol. 5 (2013) | pp. 143-171 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/rev_AMAL.2013.v5.42932 TRAGEDY, EURIPIDES, MELODRAMA: HAMARTIA, MEDEA, LIMINALITY BRIAN G. CARAHER QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND [email protected] Article received on 29.01.2013 Accepted on 06.07.2013 ABSTRACT This article examines socio-historical dimensions and cultural and dramaturgic implications of the Greek playwright Euripides’ treatment of the myth of Medea. Euripides gives voice to victims of adventurism, aggression and betrayal in the name of ‘reason’ and the ‘state’ or ‘polity.’ Medea constitutes one of the most powerful mythic forces to which he gave such voice by melodramatizing the disturbing liminality of Greek tragedy’s perceived social and cultural order. The social polity is confronted by an apocalyptic shock to its order and its available modes of emotional, rational and social interpretation. Euripidean melodramas of horror dramatize the violation of rational categories and precipitate an abject liminality of the tragic vision of rational order. The dramaturgy of Euripides’ Medea is contrasted with the norms of Greek tragedy and examined in comparison with other adaptations — both ancient and contemporary — of the myth of Medea, in order to unfold the play’s transgression of a tragic vision of the social polity. KEYWORDS Dramaturgy, Euripides, liminality, Medea, melodrama, preternatural powers, social polity, tragedy. TRAGEDIA, EURÍPIDES, MELODRAMA: HAMARTÍA, MEDEA, LIMINALIDAD RESUMEN Este artículo estudia las dimensiones sociohistóricas y las implicaciones culturales y teatrales del tratamiento que Eurípides da al mito de Medea. Eurípides da voz a las víctimas del aventurerismo, de las agresiones y de las traiciones cometidas en nombre de la ‘razón’ y del ‘estado’ o el ‘gobierno’.

THE LEGACY OF AMERICAN PHOTOJOURNALISM IN KEN BURNS’S VIETNAM WAR DOCUMENTARY SERIES Camille Rouquet LARCA/Paris Sciences et Lettres In his review of The Vietnam War, the 18-hour-long documentary series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick released in September 2017, New York Times television critic James Poniewozik wrote: “The Vietnam War” is not Mr. Burns’s most innovative film. Since the war was waged in the TV era, the filmmakers rely less exclusively on the trademark “Ken Burns effect” pans over still images. Since Vietnam was the “living-room war,” played out on the nightly news, this documentary doesn’t show us the fighting with new eyes, the way “The War” did with its unearthed archival World War II footage.

  • Birds & Natural History 2009-2010
    Birds & Natural History 2009-2010 Read newsworthy and lively commentary on our new blog at press.princeton.edu/blog press.princeton.edu Contents 8 Princeton Illustrated Checklists 23 Birds of Africa 10 Princeton Field Guides 23 Species Studies 16 Field Guides 24 Insects 17 Identification Guides 25 Of Related Interest 18 Photographic Guides 29 Order Form/Index 20 Reference 22 Princeton Pocket Guides A message from the Editor It’s with great pleasure that we roll out a new Birds and Natural History catalog. We’ve added a significant number of new titles to the list and 2009 promises to be a bumper year. It’s wonderful to have two classic references available in paperback for the first time ever—Macdonald’s Princeton Encyclopedia of Mammals and Perrins’ Princeton Encyclopedia of Birds. These are outstanding books that belong on every naturalist’s shelf. A new Lars Jonsson book is always cause for celebration, and in Lars Jonsson’s Birds we have a mouthwatering collection of much of the master’s recent work, once again confirming him as the doyen of wildlife artists. Jeremy Mynott’s Birdscapes is an intriguing and elegant study of man’s enduring interrelationship with birds, at once insightful, amusing, and informative. We have also just published three new titles in our Princeton Field Guides series, and particular attention should be given to Mark Brazil’s magnificent Birds of East Asia, which covers Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and the eastern Asian seaboard, an area lacking a unifying guide until now, and to Dennis Paulson’s Dragonflies and Damselflies of the West, a richly illustrated, authoritative photographic guide, soon to be followed by a volume on the East.

(Comment ça, « rien compris » ?) V. Villenave. Librologie 8 : Les petits cœurs de tatie Nina « En 1988, à l’âge tendre de 20 ans, je quittai ma ville natale de Urbana, Illinois, pour Santa Cruz en Californie, afin d’y poursuivre le rêve naïf de devenir hippie, new-age et ésotérique. Au lieu de quoi je suis devenue illustratrice et cynique. » C’est ainsi que Nina Paley raconte son histoire, de la banlieue de Chicago (Urbana, dont son père a été un maire courageux) à la Californie — le choix de Santa Cruz n’est pas innocent : indissociable des bouleversements sociaux des années 1960-1970, cette ville correspond bien à l’arrière-plan idéologique de la « Nouvelle Gauche » de cette époque, effectivement liée au mouvement hippie, mais également à l’avènement d’une conception nouvelle des sciences humaines (sociologie, psychiatrie alternative,…). Avec toutefois une tournure moins optimiste dans le cas de Paley : par exemple, elle revendique son choix de ne pas faire d’enfants comme un choix militant ; membre revendiquée duMouvement pour l’Extinction Volontaire de l’Espèce Humaine, sa principale préoccupation politique (tout au moins dans la période 1995-2005) semble être la surpopulation humaine.

How many of us actors and artists, as teenagers, had that brave conversation with our parents when we swore The Parchman Hour allegiance to a dream in the footlights and they did all they could to dissuade October 1 – November 6, 2016 us? Looking back, it’s hard to fault them. Guaranteed work this is not. McGuire Proscenium Stage What theater is though, is a calling – to hone a craft, to entertain, to find A Christmas Carol meaning in the act of storytelling. And as depicted in George S. Kaufman November 16 – December 30, 2016 and Edna Ferber’s The Royal Family, theater is the connective tissue Wurtele Thrust Stage between generations. Sure, there are moments in the play when Kaufman and Ferber seem to be satirizing the Cavendish family of thespians – lest any The Lion in Winter actor ever take him or herself too seriously. But there are also extraordinarily November 19 – December 31, 2016 poignant moments when relationships must be considered and hard McGuire Proscenium Stage decisions made by the Cavendish women, all of whom find themselves at a crossroads between their vocation and a The Royal Family decidedly different way of life. January 28 – March 19, 2017 McGuire Proscenium Stage There’s broad comedy, and there’s also beautiful nuance to be found in this nearly century-old King Lear story in terms of what’s uplifting and what can February 11 – April 2, 2017 be heartbreaking about a theatrical pursuit.
