Through Strangers' Eyes

Fictional Foreigners in Old Regime France

By: Sylvie Romanowski

Considering the "stranger" as a figure of ambiguity, Sylvie Romanowski explains why the genre was so useful to the Enlightenment. The question of why showing ambiguous strangers is important in that period is addressed in the book's introduction by setting the Enlightenment in the historical context of the seventeenth century. Romanowski then examines Montaigne's "Des Cannibales," showing how these first "outsiders" relate to their eighteenth-century successors. She next considers Montesquieu's Lettres persanes in its entirety, studying the voices of the men, the women, and the eunuchs. She also studies other examples of the genre."--Jacket.

Histoire, archéologies littératures du monde musulman

mélanges en l'honneur d'André Raymond

By: Sylvie Denoix,Michel Tuchscherer

Réunis à Aix-en-Provence, au sein du laboratoire qu’il fonda en 1986, ces 'Mélanges en l’honneur d’André Raymond' sont d’abord l’hommage affectueux d’élèves, de collègues et d’amis, liés à l’historien comme à l’homme. Ils se veulent aussi une reconnaissance de sa contribution intellectuelle et institutionnelle au développement des études sur le monde arabe et musulman, et le témoignage de la vitalité d’un réseau de chercheurs qu’il a profondément marqué de sa personnalité. Les contributions qu’ils rassemblent embrassent très largement l’histoire du Bassin méditerranéen, de l’Antiquité au XXe siècle. Elles s’inscrivent dans des disciplines variées et portent sur des objets que l’on n’assemble guère (des opéras et des fours de potiers, par exemple), mais dont la diversité même est un hommage rendu à l’esprit d’ouverture qui a toujours marqué l’action d’André Raymond dans sa gestion des politiques de recherche. Pour le lecteur et par souci de simplicité, on les a distribuées en quatre sections thématiques dont la composition, du reste, pourrait servir à décrire aussi l’œuvre savante de celui à qui elles sont offertes : 1. Villes et architectures d’Orient; 2. Histoire, économies, sociétés; 3. Lettres et arts; 4. Sources, manuscrits, archives.

The Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools

By: Ashley Thomson,Sylvie Lafortune

Private schools have frequently provided innovative, experimental, and creative programunavailable to students in the public system. The most successful have survived and expanded by offering an educational experience widely perceived to be not just as good as that available in the public system, but better. In Canada, private schools are enjoying an unprecedented popularity and while most are day-only, over sixty sustain boarding programs, as do two off-shore Canadian schools. The Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools presents information on the educational environment of each province,then offers comparative information on each boarding school. The information on each school includes: basic data, location, history, philosophy, the campus, boarding facilities, health and safety, administration and faculty, student body and student conduct, academic calendar and program, information technology, student activities and student conduct, admission and costs. The Handbook also supplies several appendices outlining important programs often available through boarding schools, such as Advanced Placement courses and the International Baccalaureate. For parents in Canada and abroad about to commit substantial sums to their children's education, the Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools is an essential tool to help them make the right decision. It is also an indispensable resource for supporters of the public system looking for ideas that have worked elsewhere.
