  • Casse Tête Au Club Des Veufs Noirs
    1 CASSE-TETE AU CLUB DES VEUFS NOIRS PAR Isaac ASIMOV Traduit de l’anglais par Michèle VALENCIA 2 À Alex Zupnick, Don Laventhal et Bob Zicklin, qui se donnent beaucoup de mal pour m’éviter de me fourrer dans le pétrin. 3 INTRODUCTION Pour une raison ou une autre, peut-être à cause de la douce et sympathique modestie qui me caractérise, je vis constamment dans la crainte que quelqu’un ne parvienne à endiguer le flot incessant des ouvrages que je publie. Ainsi, par exemple, en mars 1971, j’ai écrit, pour Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine (EQMM), une nouvelle policière sur un club que j’ai appelé « les Veufs Noirs ». Je n’avais pas l’intention de poursuivre, mais Frédéric Dannay (« Ellery Queen »), l’a présentée comme « la première d’une nouvelle série ». J’en ai donc écrit une deuxième… puis une troisième… Et chaque fois je tremblais de peur en pensant que Fred, ou quelqu’un d’autre, pouvait me dire : « O.K. ! maintenant, ça suffit. » Heureusement pour moi, personne ne l’a fait. Finalement, après avoir écrit douze nouvelles de cette série, je me suis dit que j’en avais assez pour publier un recueil que j’ai intitulé Tales of the Black Widowers (Doubleday, 1974)1. Les douze nouvelles suivantes ont donné lieu à la publication de More Tales of the Black Widowers (Doubleday, 1976).2 Je sais que vous m’avez devancé : je viens de terminer une troisième douzaine de nouvelles, donc, voici Casebook of the Black Widowers. Et personne ne m’a encore demandé de m’arrêter.

  • A Case Study Exploring a Women's and Gender
    COLONNA, SARAH ELIZABETH, Ph.D. There’s More to It than Just Girl Power: A Case Study Exploring a Women’s and Gender Studies Class Taught with The Hunger Games. (2016) Directed by Dr. Leila Villaverde. 303pp. In this qualitative case study dissertation, the researcher explored students’ perspectives on young adult dystopian fiction in the feminist classroom. Through the lens of popular culture and storytelling, the researcher considers the powerful pedagogical possibilities that lie within these stories. Using a single class as a case study, students were interviewed about their experience in a class taught using The Hunger Games trilogy. Data was also collected from student assignments, class documents, and the researcher’s field journal. The results of this study include five categories that exemplified the students’ experience learning with young adult dystopian fiction: the power of storytelling; students’ reflections on class experiences; the need for imagination; fiction as educational space; and continuing to think with The Hunger Games. Further, this study showed there is room for additional study of the intersection of young adult dystopian fiction and feminist pedagogy and highlights the place of imagination and storytelling in higher education. THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN JUST GIRL POWER: A CASE STUDY EXPLORING A WOMEN’S AND GENDER STUDIES CLASS TAUGHT WITH THE HUNGER GAMES by Sarah Elizabeth Colonna A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Greensboro 2016 Approved by _______________________________ Committee Chair For PJ Colonna because you have always believed in me.

Sprague de Camp, Lester del Rey. - 3 - Quand nul ne les poursuit Thomas Trumbull prit son air féroce habituel et demanda : — Monsieur Stellar, comment justifiez-vous votre existence ? Mortimer Stellar haussa les sourcils de surprise et son regard fit le tour de la table à laquelle étaient assis les six Veufs Noirs qui l’avaient invité pour cette soirée. — Vous voulez bien répéter ? dit-il. Avant que Trumbull puisse le faire, Henry, le formidable serveur, s’était approché en silence pour déposer un brandy devant Stellar qui prit le verre en murmurant un « merci » d’un air distrait. — C’est une question bien simple, dit Trumbull. Comment justifiez-vous votre existence ? — J’ignorais que j’avais à le faire, dit Stellar. — Supposez que ce soit le cas, dit Trumbull. Supposez que vous vous trouviez devant Dieu le jour du Jugement dernier. — On croirait entendre parler un directeur de publication, dit Stellar sans paraître impressionné. Emmanuel Rubin, qui faisait office d’hôte ce soir-là et était écrivain lui aussi, se mit à rire et dit : — Non, Mortimer. Trumbull est désagréable, c’est vrai, mais tout de même pas à ce point-là. — Ne vous mêlez pas de ça, Manny, dit Trumbull en désignant Rubin du doigt. — Bon, dit Stellar. Je vais vous donner une réponse. J’espère que mon passage sur terre aura eu pour résultat de faire mieux connaître la science à quelques personnes et qu’elles seront ainsi un peu plus informées qu’elles ne l’auraient été si je n’avais pas vécu.
