<p>Harnessing Paulo Freire’s critical analysis of education and society, In Search of a Canon explores Africa and Asia, and their relationship to Europe, and Europe’s connection to the rest of the western world. As such, this book is situated in the tradition of critical scholars as it explores the relationship between historical processes and the development of a canon, or literature that is considered as sacred or accepted. In doing so, it intricately explores the intersection of history, religion (sacred text), race relations and education. The book uncovers the origins of the human family tree and the historical context related to the emergence of sacred literature and institutionalized systems of thought and educational processes. It presents critical dates, timelines and perspectives that are aimed at raising awareness in order to make schools and society more humane and democratic. </p> <p>Greg Wiggan is Associate Professor of Urban Education, Adjunct Associate Professor of Sociology, and Affiliate Faculty Member of Africana Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His research addresses urban education and urban sociology in the context of school processes that promote high achievement among African American students and other underserved minority student populations. In doing so, his research also examines the broader connections between the history of urbanization, globalization processes and the internationalization of education in urban schools. His books include: Global Issues in Education: Pedagogy, Policy, Practice, and the Minority Experience; Education in a Strange Land: Globalization, Urbanization, and Urban Schools – The Social and Educational Implications of the Geopolitical Economy; Curriculum Violence: America’s New Civil Rights Issue; Education for the New Frontier: Race, Education and Triumph in Jim Crow America 1867–1945; Following the Northern Star: Caribbean Identities and Education in North American Schools; and Unshackled: Education for Freedom, Student Achievement and Personal Emancipation.</p>

<b>Ce passionnant roman historique revient sur les terribles épisodes de chasse au sorcière au Moyen âge.</b> <br> <br>Un habitant du village qui meurt accidentellement ou qui tombe malade, le bétail qui dépérit: tout prétexte est bon pour soupçonner quelqu’un de sorcellerie. Les autorités profitent alors de l’occasion pour juger des individus marginaux ou « gênants », femmes et hommes confondus, et montrer ainsi qu’elles font leur travail. Un geste mal interprété, un comportement étrange, voire une simple allusion à un chat noir, suffisent pour finir entre les mains du tribunal. Sous la torture, la plupart des personnes accusées avouent contre leur gré leur présumée connivence avec le diable... <i>La Sorcière de Dentervals</i> s’inspire des évènements qui se produisirent autour d’un procès pour sorcellerie en 1675 dans les Grisons. <br>Avec un effrayant réalisme, l’auteur nous raconte cette période noire, où le soupçon de sorcellerie était un motif suffisant pour condamner à mort les plus faibles <br> <br> <b>Un premier roman richement documenté et d'une vraie qualité littéraire !</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>La pie jacasse. <br>Les cerfs lèvent la tête.

Est-ce un enfant en blanc qui se tient sur le pas de la porte de l’église ? <br>Le croque-mitaine semble pétrifié.

This book argues that nineteenth-century editors created the modern idea of English Renaissance literature. The book analyses the theories and practices of editors who worked on Shakespeare, but also on complete editions of a remarkable range of early modern writers, from the early nineteenth century through to the early twentieth century. It reassesses the point at which purportedly more scientific theories of editing began the process of obscuring the work of these earlier editors. In recreating this largely ignored history, this book also addresses the current interest in the theory and practice of editing as it relates to new approaches to early modern writing, and to literary and book history, and the material conditions of the transmission of texts. Through a series of case studies, the book explores the way individual editors dealt with Renaissance literature and with changing ideas of how texts and their contexts might be represented.

<b>Atalante, Cassandre, Gaspard, Théodore</b> <br> <br>Atalante - Les mains expertes et agiles de Clotho courent sur le fuseau, se hâtant de créer cette nouvelle vie avant qu’Althée ne mette au monde son enfant. De ses doigts aériens comme des papillons, elle peigne les brins avec habileté, car le fil du destin du garçon qui va naître se doit d’être solide, satiné et brillant… <br>Cassandre - Une lumière vive coule à flots des flambeaux, des torches et des chandelles de cire couronnant les lustres circulaires.

<p>This book explores the evolution of male writers marked by peculiar traits of childlike immaturity. The ‘Boy-Man’ emerged from the nexus of Rousseau’s counter-Enlightenment cultural primitivism, Sensibility’s ‘Man of Feeling’, the Chattertonian poet maudit, and the Romantic idealisation of childhood. The Romantic era saw the proliferation of boy-men, who congregated around such metropolitan institutions as <i>The London Magazine</i>. These included John Keats, Leigh Hunt, Charles Lamb, Hartley Coleridge, Thomas De Quincey and Thomas Hood. In the period of the French Revolution, terms of childishness were used against such writers as Wordsworth, Keats, Hunt and Lamb as a tool of political satire. Yet boy-men writers conversely used their amphibian child-adult literary personae to critique the masculinist ideologies of their era. However, the growing cultural and political conservatism of the nineteenth century, and the emergence of a canon of serious literature, inculcated the relegation of the boy-men from the republic of letters. </p>

<p>This book argues that ‘deviance’ represents a central issue in neo-Victorian culture, and that the very concept of neo-Victorianism is based upon the idea of ‘diverging’ from accepted notions regarding the nineteenth-century frame of mind. However, the study of the ways in which the Victorian age has been revised by contemporary authors does not only entail analogies with the present but proves – by introducing what is perhaps a more pertinent description of the nineteenth century – that it was much more ‘deviant’ than it is usually depicted and perceived.</p> <p><i>Deviance in Neo-Victorian Culture: Canon, Transgression, Innovation</i> explores a wide variety of textual forms, from novels to TV series, from movies and graphic novels to visual art. The scholarly and educational purpose of this study<i> </i>is to stimulate readers to approach neo-Victorianism as a complex cultural phenomenon.</p> <br>

<p></p> <p>Any contemporary state presents itself as committed to the “rule of law”, and this notion is perhaps the most powerful political ideal within the current global discourse on legal and political institutions. Despite being a contested concept, the rule of law is generally recognised as meaning that government is bound in all its actions by fixed and public rules, and that these rules respect certain formal requirements and are enforced by an independent judiciary. </p> This book focuses on formal legality and the question of how to achieve good laws—a topic that was famously addressed by the 18th century enlightened thinkers, but also by prominent legal scholars of our time. Historically, the canon of “good legislation” demanded generality, publicity and accessibility, and comprehensibility of laws; non-retroactivity; consistency; the possibility of complying with legal obligations and prohibitions; stability; and congruency between enacted laws and their application. All these are valuable ideals that should not be abandoned in today’s legal systems, particularly in view of the silent revolution that is transforming our legality-based “states of law” into jurisdictional states. Such ideals are still worth pursuing for those who believe in representative democracy, in the rule of law and in the dignity of legislation. The idea for the book stemmed from the author’s parliamentary and governmental experience; he was responsible for the Government of Spain’s legislative co-ordination from 1982 to 1993, which were years of intensive legislative production. The more than five hundred laws (and thousands of decrees) elaborated in this period profoundly changed all sectors of the legal order inherited from Franco’s dictatorship, and laid the foundations of a new social and democratic system. For an academic, this was an exciting experience, which offered a unique opportunity to put the theory of legislation to the test. Reflecting and elaborating on this experience, the book not only increases scholarly awareness of how laws are made, but above all, improves the quality of legislation and as a result the rule of law. <p></p> <br> <p></p>
