"Fleet-footed and capricious, the essays in Glass, Light & Electricity wander through landscapes both familiar and unfamiliar, finding them equal parts magical and toxic, exploring and merging public and private history through lyric meditations that use research, association, and metaphor to examine subjects as diverse as neon signs, scalping, heartbreak, and seizures. The winner of the 2019 Permafrost Prize in nonfiction, Shena McAuliffe expands the creative possiblities of form"-- Provided by publisher.

"Comment un Français sans éclat est-il devenu le Weinstein nordique ? En plein #MeToo, dix-huit femmes accusent l'époux d'une célèbre poétesse suédoise de harcèlement sexuel et de viol. Il est aussi soupçonné d'avoir révélé les noms de plusieurs futurs lauréats du prix Nobel de littérature, décerné par l'Académie... dont sa femme est un membre éminent. C'est le drame. En Suède, la fureur gronde et l'Académie se déchire comme jamais. Sidéré par ce fait divers à mille lieues de l'image paisible de son pays d'adoption, Olivier Truc nous entraîne dans l'histoire et les coulisses du prix littéraire le plus célèbre mais aussi le plus opaque du monde. D'un oeil aiguisé, surprenant, parfois cocasse, toujours affectueux, il dévoile les contradictions profondes de la société suédoise, si policée et progressiste en apparence. Vous ne verrez plus jamais le Nobel de littérature comme avant."--Page 4 of cover.

The Anglosphere - a transnational imagined community consisting of the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK - came to international prominence in the wake of Brexit. The Anglosphere's origins lie in the British Empire and the conflicts of the 20th century. It encompasses an extensive but ill-defined community bonded by language, culture, media, and 'civilisational' heritage founded on the shared beliefs and practices of free-market economics and liberal democracy. Supporters of the Anglosphere argue that it provides a better 'fit' for English-speaking countries at a time when global politics is in a state of flux and under strain from economic crises, conflict and terrorism, and humanitarian disasters. This edited volume provides the first detailed analyses of the Anglosphere, bringing together leading international academic experts to examine its historical origins and contemporary political, social, economic, military, and cultural manifestations. They reveal that the Anglosphere is underpinned by a range of continuities and discontinuities which are shaped by the location of its five core states. The volume reveals that although the Anglosphere is founded on a common view of the past and the present, it continually seeks to realise a shared future which is never fully attained. The volume thus makes an important contribution to debates about the future of the UK outside of the EU, and the potential for the English-speaking peoples to shape the 21st century.

Marking the fifth centenary of the publication of the first edition of the Italian masterpiece, Ariosto, the Orlando Furioso and English Culture brings together an international team of Renaissance scholars from a wide variety of disciplines to analyse in detail the diffuse impact which the epic poem had upon English culture from the Tudor century to the present day. Translated into English in the 1590s by Sir John Harington, godson of Elizabeth I, the influence of Ariosto's poem can be traced in literature, music and the visual arts, from Spenser and Milton to modern media adaptations. In addition, the collection reflects upon the ways in which successive editions and translations, examples of critical reception, rewritings and adaptations in different media (in particular opera) all shaped the rich and evolving understanding of the adventures of Orlando, Angelica, Medoro, Olympia, and Sacripante in the cultural and artistic production of England across the centuries.

Beat Literature in Europe offers twelve in-depth analyses of how European authors and intellectuals on both sides of the Iron Curtain read, translated and appropriated American Beat literature. The chapters combine textual analysis with discussions on the role Beat had in popular music, art, and different subcultures. The book participates in the transnational turn that has gained in importance during the past years in literary studies, looking at transatlantic connections through the eyes of European authors, artists and intellectuals, and showing how Beat became a cluster of texts, images, and discussions with global scope. At the same time, it provides vivid examples of how national literary fields in Europe evolved during the cold war era. Contributors are: Thomas Antonic, Franca Bellarsi, Frida Forsgren, Santiago Rodriguez Guerrero-Strachan, Jozsef Havasreti, Tiit Hennoste, Benedikt Hjartarson, Petra James, Nuno Neves, Maria Nikopoulou, Harri Veivo, Dorota Walczak-Delanois, Gregory Watson.

Le présent recueil s'attache à évoquer les différentes manières, contrastées, paradoxales, ambiguës parfois, mais toujours intenses, qu'André Beucler a eu de décliner le motif de ± l'affiche ?, au propre comme au figuré, dans ses romans comme dans ses articles ou ses émissions de radio, que ce soit sur le ton de l'éloge ou du sarcasme. André Beucler (1898-1985) est en effet aujourd'hui plus connu du grand public pour avoir partagé l'affiche avec Jean Gabin (en tenue de spahi) dans le film de Jean Grémillon, adapté de son roman Gueule d'amour, que comme romancier-phare des Années folles. Entré en littérature en 1925 par la grande porte des Éditions Gallimard avec La Ville anonyme, ce jeune auteur du groupe des ± moins de trente ans ? enchaîne alors nouvelles et romans. Habité depuis toujours par la passion du cinéma, il cède bientôt aux séductions du journalisme et s'éprend au passage de la 'fée Publicité'. Dès le début des années trente, son nom côtoie celui des stars de l'époque (Pierre Brasseur, Charles Boyer, Brigitte Helm...) sur les affiches des films auxquels il participe en tant que scénariste, dialoguiste ou coréalisateur, tandis que, dans les colonnes de Marianne ou même de Paris-Soir, il se fait un nom comme grand reporter.

"English joiner John Head (1688–1754) immigrated to Philadelphia in 1717 and became one of its most successful artisans and merchants. However, his prominence was lost to history until the author’s discovery of his account book at the Library of the American Philosophical Society. A find of great historical importance, Head’s account book is the earliest and most complete to have survived from any cabinetmaker working in British North America or in Great Britain. It chronicles the commerce, crafts, and lifestyles of early Philadelphia’s entire community: its shopkeeping, cabinetmaking, chairmaking, clockmaking, glazing, metalworking, needleworking, property development, agriculture, botany, livestock, transport, foodstuffs, drink, hardware, fabrics, furnishings, household wares, clothing, building materials, and export trade. Jay Robert Stiefel, historian of Colonial Philadelphia society and its material culture, presents the definitive interpretation of the John Head account book and introduces many other discoveries. The culmination of nearly 20 years of research, this new volume serves as an essential reference work on 18th-century Philadelphia, its furniture and material culture, as well as an intimate and detailed social history of the interactions among that era’s most talented artisans and successful merchants. Profusely illustrated and in large format, the book includes a foreword from furniture historian Adam Bowett and an introduction by historian Patrick Spero, Librarian and Director of the American Philosophical Society Library" -- Provided by publisher.

"Fondé en 1946 par Michel Asmar, le Cénacle libanais, tribune, centre de réflexion, forum de rencontres, d'échanges et maison d'édition, représente, entre 1946 et 1984, un excellent cas d'étude pour décrire la formation culturelle et intellectuelle du Liban en tant qu'identité, nation, peuple et État. Faisant du Liban son sujet central, comme en témoigne le titre adopté pour un grand nombre de conférences organisées entre les années 1946 et 1968, "l'édification de la Maison libanaise", le Cénacle a réussi à se présenter non seulement en tant qu'"expression de la conscience libanaise", mais aussi en tant que centre de réflexion dont le plus grand mérite consiste à créer une "libanologie" ou une "science du Liban". Le Cénacle accueille des intellectuels dont la tâche consiste à préciser les besoins de la société libanaise dans tous les domaines d'une façon scientifique et objective. Reconstruire la "Maison libanaise" veut dire à la fois une construction de l'identité libanaise, de la mythologie libanaise, de la nation libanaise et de l'être libanais. Autrement dit, c'est une prise de conscience du "soi libanais", une volonté de se choisir, de décider de tracer sa propre histoire."--Page 4 of cover.

Changing Names investigates, in relation to the ancient Greek world, the ways in which preferences in personal name-giving change: through shifts in population, cultural contact and imperialism, the popularity of new gods, celebrity status of individuals, increased openness to external influence, and shifts in local fashion. Several major kinds of change due to cultural contact occurred: Greek names spread in regions outside Greece that were subject to Greek cultural influence (and later conquest), while conversely the Roman conquest of the Greek world led to various degrees of adoption of the Roman naming system; late in antiquity, Christianisation led to a profound but rather gradual transformation of the name stock. Individuals in culturally mixed societies sometimes bore two names, one for public or official use, one more domestic; but women of non-Greek origin were more likely to stick with indigenous names. 'Structural' changes (such as the emergence of the English surname) did not occur, though in late antiquity an indication of profession tended to replace the father's name as a secondary identifier; in some regions 'second' names became popular, perhaps in imitation of the longer Roman naming formulae. The volume is arranged partly thematically, partly through regional case studies (from within and beyond old Greece). Individuals who change their names (typically slaves after manumission) are also considered, as is the possibility that a name might change its 'meaning'.
