Stereo: Comparative Perspectives on the Sociological Study of Popular Music in France and Britain

By: Philippe Le Guern

The term 'Popular Music' has traditionally denoted different things in France and Britain. In France, the very concept of 'popular' music has been fiercely debated and contested, whereas in Britain and more largely throughout what the French describe as the 'Anglo-saxon' world 'popular music' has been more readily accepted as a description of what people do as leisure or consume as part of the music industry, and as something that academics are legitimately entitled to study. French researchers have for some decades been keenly interested in reading British and American studies of popular culture and popular music and have often imported key concepts and methodologies into their own work on French music, but apart from the widespread use of elements of 'French theory' in British and American research, the 'Anglo-saxon' world has remained largely ignorant of particular traditions of the study of popular music in France and specific theoretical debates or organizational principles of the making and consuming of French musics. French, British and American research into popular music has thus coexisted - with considerable cross-fertilization - for many years, but the barriers of language and different academic traditions have made it hard for French and anglophone researchers to fully appreciate the ways in which popular music has developed in their respective countries and the perspectives on its study adopted by their colleagues. This volume provides a comparative and contrastive perspective on popular music and its study in France and the UK.

From First Unprovoked Seizure to Newly Diagnosted Epilepsy

By: Philippe Ryvlin,Ettore Beghi,Peter Camfield,Dale Hesdorffer

This new edition of the book series dedicated to “Progress in Epileptic Disorders” is the result of a recently held unique gathering of international experts that debated on the prognostic and therapeutic issues raised by the management of first unprovoked seizures and of newly diagnosed epilepsy. Current knowledge on natural evolution of a first seizure, the role of co-morbid conditions, the impact of immediate versus delayed treatment and recent guidelines are thoroughly addressed. The new ideas and suggestions that emerge from this book offer challenging perspectives for both patient care and clinical as well as fundamental research. The first section of the book includes an up to date review of epidemiological data, encompassing the natural evolution of single unprovoked seizures, risk factors for recurrent seizures, and the potential for comorbid conditions such as depression, migraine, ADHD, and dysimmune metabolic disorders to promote the development of epilepsy. The impact of febrile convulsions on long-term brain hyperexcitability is also discussed. The second section concentrates on therapeutic issues, concerning the management of single unprovoked seizures and newly diagnosed epilepsy. These include the impact of immediate versus deferred treatment and the choice of the most appropriate antiepileptic drug therapy. Several methodological issues are addressed in parallel with the chapters, providing new insights into domains, such as the representativeness of the patient population in the studies under consideration, as well as the limitations and pitfalls of most randomised controlled trials. The value of these trials in the development of treatment guidelines is also discussed.

Little Black Dress Diet

By: Pierre Philippe

Au temps où le cinématographe faisait encore de certaines actrices bien plus que les interprètes de drames sur pellicule, où certaines se faisaient idoles des temps modernes, une superbe Mexicaine apparut, du nom de Maria Félix. Elle possédait cette beauté sombre et hautaine qui dispense les héroïnes de l'écran de s'encombrer de prétextes ambitieux : elle seule suffisait à ce que les foules se précipitent devant ses films et en fassent une déesse à l'égal de Garbo ou de Dietrich. Mais c'est sa vie - privée et publique - qui fut le meilleur mélodrame que, bon scénariste, le destin lui offrit. Elle y excella en son image de doña, dominatrice et rebelle, aussi indestructible que les joyaux qu'elle se plut ) faire ruisseler sur un corps de femme où battait un cœur d'homme.
