L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s)

L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s)

McGill-Queen's University Press
2018
nidottu
L.M. Montgomery's writings are replete with enchanting yet subtle and fluid depictions of nature that convey her intense appreciation for the natural world. At a time of ecological crises, intensifying environmental anxiety, and burgeoning eco-critical perspectives, L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) repositions the Canadian author's relationship to nature in terms of current environmental criticism across several disciplines, introducing a fresh approach to her life and work. Drawing on a wide range of Montgomery's novels as well as her journals, this collection suggests that socio-ecological relationships encompass ideas of reciprocity, affiliation, autonomy, and the capacity for transformation in both the human and more-than-human worlds, and that these ideas are integral to Montgomery's vision and her literary legacy. Framed by the twin themes of materiality and interrelationships, essays by scholars of literature, law, animal studies, anthropology, and ecology examine place, embodiment, and difference in Montgomery's works and embrace the multiplicities embedded in the concept of nature. Through innovative critical approaches, L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) opens up conversations about humans' interactions with nature and the material environment.

L' Église et la politique québécoise, de Taschereau à Duplessis

L' Église et la politique québécoise, de Taschereau à Duplessis

Alexandre Dumas

McGill-Queen's University Press
2019
sidottu
Si l'on en croit l'historien Denis Vaugeois, les gens inventent des histoires depuis soixante ans à propos du gouvernement de Maurice Duplessis. Dans le domaine de la politique, l'image généralement acceptée du Québec d'avant la Révolution tranquille est celle d'une société écrasée par une Église catholique omniprésente, avec la complicité d'un gouvernement de l'Union nationale corrompu. L'arrivée au pouvoir du Parti libéral de Jean Lesage en 1960 devait mettre un terme à cette puissante alliance et permettre ainsi au Québec d'entrer dans l'ère moderne. Se peut-il que les tendances politiques du clergé catholique se démarquaient alors de cette idée populaire et l'avaient toujours fait? L'Église et la politique québécoise, de Taschereau à Duplessis jette un nouveau regard sur des préjugés concernant le rôle historique joué par l'Église catholique dans la politique du Québec. Le soutien électoral du clergé à l'Union nationale, la ferme opposition de l'Église au droit de vote des femmes, l'origine cléricale de la Loi du cadenas et le soutien accordé par l'archevêque de Montréal au dirigeant fasciste Adrien Arcand sont toutes des notions qui ont reçu l'aval inconditionnel des historiens – des idées remises en question dans cet ouvrage. En ce qui a trait à la relation entre l'Église et l'État, Maurice Duplessis s'inscrivait dans la continuité de ses homologues libéraux. Après avoir consulté des archives jusqu'ici inaccessibles, Alexandre Dumas en vient à la conclusion surprenante que l'Église catholique était peut-être plus sympathique à la cause du Parti libéral qu'à celle de l'Union nationale.

L.A. Noir

L.A. Noir

William Hare

McFarland Co Inc

pokkari
Los Angeles is an ideal city for film noir for both economic and aesthetic reasons. The largest metropolitan area in the country, home to an ever-changing population of the disillusioned and in close proximity to city, mountains, ocean, and desert, the City of Angels became a center of American film noir. This detailed discussion of nine films explores such topics as why certain settings are appropriate for film noir, why L.A. has been a favorite of authors such as Raymond Chandler, and relevant political developments in the area. The films are also examined in terms of story content as well as how they developed in the project stage. Utilizing a number of quotes from interviews, the work examines actors, directors, and others involved with the films, touching on their careers and details of their time in L.A. The major films covered are The Big Sleep, Criss Cross, D.O.A., In A Lonely Place, The Blue Gardenia, Kiss Me Deadly, The Killing, Chinatown, and L.A. Confidential.

L'archéologie du monde

Dominique Pradelle

Kluwer Academic Publishers
2000
sidottu
Ce livre étudie la refonte husserlienne de l'esthétique transcendantale kantienne, pour mettre en évidence sa fonction fondatrice dans l'idéalisme phénoménologique et interroger sa légitimité. On part donc des points essentiels de la critique husserlienne de Kant (refus du renversement copernicien, du caractère originaire des intuitions pures et de toute idéalisation des structures perceptives), pour dégager à partir d'eux les axes de la méthode husserlienne: dégager les intuitions pures depuis leur connexion essentielle avec les qualités sensibles, retracer leur engendrement synthétique par les actes de la conscience, et séparer l'espace perceptif des espaces catégoriaux pour reconduire ces derniers à leur mode propre de production. Husserl parvient-il, dans cette esthétique transcendantale progressant de bas en haut de la hylè sensible aux objets complexes, à éviter toute présupposition et à rester fidèle à son exigence d'intuitivité? Il semble aucontraire que la méthode husserlienne repose sur nombre d'actes abstractifs et idéalisants. Par là, c'est la possibilité d'une philosophie purement descriptive qui est mise en question.

L'Enfant's Legacy

L'Enfant's Legacy

Michael Bednar

Johns Hopkins University Press
2006
sidottu
Many American democratic ideals are embodied in the public spaces of its cities, especially in Washington, D.C. In L'Enfant's Legacy architect and scholar Michael Bednar explores the public spaces of the nation's capital, examining the context of the surrounding architecture and the roles of the spaces in the changing functional life of the city. Bednar examines the ways in which L'Enfant's innovative plan of 1791, along with later developments, symbolizes and encourages democratic freedoms and traditions. In the spaces of Capitol Square, citizens expect to encounter their government directly in a dignified setting, a symbolic public forum. On the White House grounds they expect to meet the president where he works and lives. At the National Mall-America's front lawn-citizens exercise their rights of assembly and free speech, as well as play football, eat lunch, and socialize. From historic Lincoln Square, Dupont Circle, and Judiciary Square to the newly developed Freedom Plaza, Pershing Park, and Market Square, Bednar's thoughtful study provides a fresh perspective on the role of public space in the expression of democratic ideals.

L.M. Montgomery and Canadian Culture

L.M. Montgomery and Canadian Culture

University of Toronto Press
1999
sidottu
Despite the enormous popularity of her books, particularly Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery's role in the development of Canada's national culture is not often discussed by literary historians. This is curious as some of Canada's leading writers, including Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, and Jane Urquhart, have acknowledged their indebtedness to Montgomery's fiction. That scholars have not mined the 'Canadianness' of Montgomery's writing is redressed by this collection. It is the first systematic effort to investigate and explore Montgomery's active engagement with Canadian nationalism and identity, including regionalism, canon formation, and Canadian-American cultural relations. It examines her work in relation to the many dramatic changes of her day, such as the women's movement and the advent of new technologies; and it looks at the national and international consumption of Anne of Green Gables, in the form of both 'high' culture and cultural tourism. The wide range of contributors represent views from across disciplines and boundaries, including feminist, biographical, psychoanalytical, historical, and cultural approaches. The scholarly reflections are punctuated to great effect by creative pieces, personal reflections, and interviews. This ground-breaking collection will appeal to all fans of Montgomery's work and to students of Canadian letters. It places Montgomery and her work squarely in the mainstream of Canadian literary history, affirming her importance to our country's cultural development.

L'Italiano D'oggi

L'Italiano D'oggi

Luisa P. Karumanchiri

University of Toronto Press
1988
pokkari
For use in intermediate and advanced courses of Italian for English-speaking students, this book reviews the basics of Italian grammar and explains in detail aspects of the morphology, syntax, and semantics of contemporary Italian. Rather than presenting the material within the single framework of a school of linguistics, the authors focus on different problems with a variety of approaches that they have found to be effective over the course of their teaching careers. The coverage of Italian morphology and syntax is comprehensive and the various areas of grammar are presented systematically in `blocks.' The book also offers innovative analyses of verb morphology, mood and tense system, as well as extensive word lists for the various grammatical categories. The language used in the explanations is simple; the material presented in an organic but unobtrusive way, aimed at offering instructors a guide for their lesson in class, and students a tool for their preparation and follow-up at home.

This book is an outstanding collection of readings in Italian designed to introduce language students to contemporary Italian culture while developing their skills in reading, speaking, writing, and listening.

Although it requires a knowledge of basic grammar, L'Italia verso il Duemila may be used as early as the second semester of an intensive beginning Italian course.

Definitions are given for vocabulary that is likely to be unfamiliar to students.

L. Frank Baum's World of Oz

L. Frank Baum's World of Oz

Suzanne Rahn

Scarecrow Press
2003
sidottu
Although L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published one hundred years ago, literary critics and historians continue to discover new approaches to the fantastic world of Oz. The second in a new series of anthologies sponsored by the Children's Literature Association, this collection of essays represents some of the most interesting of these new approaches. Beginning with a glance back over the entire history of research and commentary on the Oz books, this work is organized in three main sections. Essays in the "Origins of Oz" examine Frank Baum's personal history and unlock the mystery of one of the most bizarre episodes in the Oz books. "The World of Oz" looks at three very different aspects of Baum's world: its concept of home and family, its sense of humor, and its relationship to its young readers. "Oz on Screen" features both the silent films Baum produced himself and MGM's classic movie The Wizard of Oz.

L.A. Private Eyes

Rutgers University Press
2019

L.A. Private Eyes examines the tradition of the private eye as it evolves in films, books, and television shows set in Los Angeles from the 1930’s through the present day. It takes a closer look at narratives—both on screen and on the printed page—in which detectives travel the streets of Los Angeles, uncovering corruption, moral ambiguity, and greed with the conviction of urban cowboys, while always ultimately finding truth and redemption. With a review of Los Angeles history, crime stories, and film noir, L.A. Private Eyes explores the metamorphosis of the solitary detective figure and the many facets of the genre itself, from noir to mystery, on the screen. While the conventions of the genre may have remained consistent and recognizable, the points where they evolve illuminate much about our changing gender and power roles.
