This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Avoir la peau claire et des cheveux défrisés » - C’est à ce standard de beauté que longtemps la femme noire a dû se conformer. Présentées comme culturelles, ces pratiques reflètent en réalité un trauma qui se transmet de génération en génération. Cette étude sociologique se penche sur l’origine de cette représentation stéréotypée et les douleurs du passé qui ont amené la femme noire à renier son apparence. Documenté et érudit, cet essai déconstruit les mécanismes à l’œuvre derrière les injonctions esthétiques faites aux femmes noires. Il démontre comment des objets anodins sont devenus des emblèmes de discrimination. L’auteure cite ainsi le Brown Paper Bag Test mis en place dans la première moitié du siècle dernier en Louisiane : toute personne dont la peau était plus foncée que la teinte du papier kraft était interdite d’accès. Une plongée sans concession dans l’imagerie raciste et son inventivité sans complexe. Pourquoi les femmes noires célébrées dans les médias sont-elles claires de peau, avec une chevelure lisse ? C’est en comprenant qu’il s’agissait d’une norme arbitraire qu’Angélique Mukendi a progressivement voulu remonter aux sources de cette blessure qui oblige les femmes à se séparer de leurs attributs naturels, allant même jusqu’à mettre en danger leur santé. Étudiante en droit, ayant pour modèle la célèbre ancienne première dame des États-Unis Michelle Obama, Angélique Mukendi donne à son tour de la voix avec ce remarquable essai.

Book Synopsis Amour, passion, volupté, tragédie by : Annye Castonguay
Download or read book Amour, passion, volupté, tragédie written by Annye Castonguay and published by Séguier Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre offre un panorama historique du sentiment amoureux dans la littérature française, couvrant la période du Moyen Âge au XXe siècle. Les différentes contributions s'engagent dans cette perspective tout en ne se bornant pas stricto sensu au seul examen du thème de l'amour. En effet, elles abordent aussi bien ses dérivés, telles la passion, la volupté, que ses conséquences, comme la douleur voire le suicide. Elles permettent alors de montrer tant les évolutions que la permanence du sentiment amoureux, comme cela est également le cas de ses dérivés et de ses conséquences. Le thème de l'amour est, dans cet ouvrage, examiné à travers une très grande variété de genres littéraires, qui vont de la poésie au roman en passant par le théâtre, la chanson ou bien encore la nouvelle. De même, les auteurs de ce volume venant de divers horizons et de différents pays, les méthodes d'approches des textes ne sont pas toutes identiques, ce qui donne à ce recueil une dimension fort intéressante et somme toute novatrice.

Book Synopsis Invention of Hysteria by : Georges Didi-Huberman
Download or read book Invention of Hysteria written by Georges Didi-Huberman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-09-17 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English-language publication of a classic French book on the relationship between the development of photography and of the medical category of hysteria. In this classic of French cultural studies, Georges Didi-Huberman traces the intimate and reciprocal relationship between the disciplines of psychiatry and photography in the late nineteenth century. Focusing on the immense photographic output of the Salpetriere hospital, the notorious Parisian asylum for insane and incurable women, Didi-Huberman shows the crucial role played by photography in the invention of the category of hysteria. Under the direction of the medical teacher and clinician Jean-Martin Charcot, the inmates of Salpetriere identified as hysterics were methodically photographed, providing skeptical colleagues with visual proof of hysteria's specific form. These images, many of which appear in this book, provided the materials for the multivolume album Iconographie photographique de la Salpetriere. As Didi-Huberman shows, these photographs were far from simply objective documentation. The subjects were required to portray their hysterical "type"—they performed their own hysteria. Bribed by the special status they enjoyed in the purgatory of experimentation and threatened with transfer back to the inferno of the incurables, the women patiently posed for the photographs and submitted to presentations of hysterical attacks before the crowds that gathered for Charcot's "Tuesday Lectures." Charcot did not stop at voyeuristic observation. Through techniques such as hypnosis, electroshock therapy, and genital manipulation, he instigated the hysterical symptoms in his patients, eventually giving rise to hatred and resistance on their part. Didi-Huberman follows this path from complicity to antipathy in one of Charcot's favorite "cases," that of Augustine, whose image crops up again and again in the Iconographie. Augustine's virtuosic performance of hysteria ultimately became one of self-sacrifice, seen in pictures of ecstasy, crucifixion, and silent cries.
Book Synopsis The Violence of Modernity by : Debarati Sanyal
Download or read book The Violence of Modernity written by Debarati Sanyal and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Violence of Modernity turns to Charles Baudelaire, one of the most canonical figures of literary modernism, in order to reclaim an aesthetic legacy for ethical inquiry and historical critique. Works of modern literature are commonly theorized as symptomatic responses to the trauma of history. In a climate that tends to privilege crisis over critique, Debarati Sanyal argues that it is urgent to rethink literary experience in terms that recall its contestatory potential. Examining Baudelaire's poems afresh, she shifts the focus of critical attention toward an account of modernism as an active engagement with violence, specifically the violence of history in nineteenth-century France. Sanyal analyzes a literary current that uses the traditional hallmarks of modernism—irony, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, and formalism—to challenge the historical violence of modernity. Baudelaire and the committed ironists writing in his wake teach us how to read and resist the violence of history, and thereby to challenge the melancholy tenor of our contemporary "wound culture." In a series of provocative readings, Sanyal presents Baudelaire's poetry as an aesthetic form that contests historical violence through rhetorical strategies of complicity, counterviolence, and critique. The book develops a new account of Baudelaire's significance as a modernist by dislodging him both from his traditional status as a practitioner of "art for art's sake" and from his more recent incarnation as the poet of trauma. Following her extended analysis of Baudelaire's poetry, Sanyal in later chapters considers a number of authors influenced by his strategies—including Rachilde, Virginie Despentes, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre—to examine the relevance of their interventions for our current climate of trauma and terror. The result is a study that underscores how Baudelaire's legacy continues to energize literary engagements with the violence of modernity.
Book Synopsis The Consolations of Philosophy by : Alain De Botton
Download or read book The Consolations of Philosophy written by Alain De Botton and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of How Proust Can Change Your Life, a delightful, truly consoling work that proves that philosophy can be a supreme source of help for our most painful everyday problems. Perhaps only Alain de Botton could uncover practical wisdom in the writings of some of the greatest thinkers of all time. But uncover he does, and the result is an unexpected book of both solace and humor. Dividing his work into six sections -- each highlighting a different psychic ailment and the appropriate philosopher -- de Botton offers consolation for unpopularity from Socrates, for not having enough money from Epicurus, for frustration from Seneca, for inadequacy from Montaigne, and for a broken heart from Schopenhauer (the darkest of thinkers and yet, paradoxically, the most cheering). Consolation for envy -- and, of course, the final word on consolation -- comes from Nietzsche: "Not everything which makes us feel better is good for us." This wonderfully engaging book will, however, make us feel better in a good way, with equal measures of wit and wisdom.
