Synchrotron Radiation, Cultural Heritage, Biomineralization

By: Catherine Dejoie,Pauline Martinetto,Nobumichi Tamura

Many areas of material science have been transformed by the use of synchrotron radiation X-rays, including the fields of cultural heritage materials and biomineralization. This book presents a selection of contributions that illustrate recent developments and applications of these tools, focused either on the main techniques used in the cultural heritage and biomineralization communities or on specific materials, studying their intrinsic properties or how they change with time. Each chapter can be read alone, and each individually demonstrates the intimate links between materials and methods. The chapters explore the main principles of synchrotron radiation, as well as techniques based on X-ray absorption and diffraction, and give an overview of how these approaches have developed in recent decades in the field of cultural heritage, with specific examples such as ancient ceramics, corrosion of iron-based materials, concrete used in Roman monuments and the biomineralization process in sea urchin spines.

No Tomorrow

The Ethics of Pleasure in the French Enlightenment

By: Catherine Cusset

In this ambitious book, Cusset reframes the often misunderstood genre that celebrates what Casanova calls "the present enjoyment of the senses." She contends libertine works are not, as is commonly thought, characterized by the preaching of sexual pleasure but are instead linked by an "ethics of pleasure" that teaches readers that vanity and sensual enjoyment are part of their moral being. Developing Roland Barthes's concept of "the pleasure of the text," the author argues that the novel is a powerful vehicle for moral lessons, more so that philosophical or moral treatises, because it conveys such lessons through pleasure." (Midwest).

Dynamic Dichotomy

The Poetic "I" in Fourteenth- and Fifteenth-century French Lyric Poetry

By: Catherine Attwood

The principal concern of this book (expounded in the first chapter) is to chart the development of literary awareness amongst poets of the later Middle Ages whose marked stance of professional independence led them increasingly to distinguish between their implied literary selves and the first-person speakers of their texts. Four chapters examine, by means of close stylistic analysis, the implications of such detachment taken as a model of binary opposition for the elaboration of the first-person speaker. Thus, in the case of Machaut, the essential distinction is between the first person and the second or third - the 'I' and the Other; with Froissart, between the 'I' of the present and the 'I' of the past; with Deschamps, between the internal 'I' of the poet and a vast array of external personae; with Christine de Pizan between the blueprint of a persona evolved by the poet for her internal 'I' and the transformations implied by its imposition on external personae. The final chapter, on the poetics of debate, explores the means by which the 'I' may be divided in order to arrive at an objective knowledge of both its own nature and of external truths, the ideal expression of which is the written record of the debate itself. It is the primacy of the Book as an autonomous entity which, ultimately, exercises the most far- reaching influence on the development of the poetic 'I' in this period.

La Dune

By: Catherine Muller de Schongor

Nous sommes ou nous serons tous confrontés au moment délicat de l'âge mûr à des séparations évoquées dans ce roman: La Dune.Hermine, artiste exaltée, revient après des années à Omaha Beach, un lieu qui lui est cher et où elle a vécu son enfance. Elle nous confie sa douleur de l'absence, nous livre avec un humour haut en couleur ses truculents souvenirs en écho avec les péripéties de la plage et exprime ses désirs de transmettre et réunifier.Avec ses jumelles, au rythme du flux et reflux, elle scrute le rivage, s'abreuve des moindres signes de vie ou indices, rassemble les morceaux de puzzle susceptibles de l'éclairer car son retour en cet endroit n'est pas un hasard. Quête ou enquête? Cette histoire énigmatique, vision métaphorique et pudique de l'absence s'inscrit dans un mouvement où le passé se conjugue avec le présent significatif.

Scents & Sensibility

Perfume in Victorian Literary Culture

By: Catherine Maxwell

Explores Victorian literature through scent and perfume, presenting an extensive range of well-known and unfamiliar texts in intriguing and imaginative new ways that make us re-think literature's relation with the senses. A selection of poems, essays, and fiction, exploring these texts with reference to both the little-known cultural history of perfume use and the appreciation of natural fragrance in Victorian Britain. It shows how scent and perfume are used to convey not merely moods and atmospheres but the nuances of the aesthete or decadent's carefully cultivated identity, personality, or sensibility.

Regarding Manneken Pis

Culture, Celebration and Conflict in Brussels

By: Catherine Emerson

Manneken Pis, a fountain featuring a bronze child urinating, has stood on the same Brussels street corner since at least the mid-fifteenth century. Since there is no consensus on its meaning, it has been used to express many different readings of social relations in a complex city and nation state. It has formed part of the festival culture of the city - from royal entries to gay pride - but has also been exploited in conflicts arising out of war and occupation, and the tensions inherent in modern Belgium. Drawing on archives, histories, police reports, devotional literature, ephemera and a wealth of other sources, Catherine Emerson examines how one smaller-than-lifesized water source has come to embody a certain sort of Brussels identity.
