The Culture of Disaster

The Culture of Disaster

Marie-Helene Huet

University of Chicago Press
2012
sidottu
From antiquity through the Enlightenment, disasters were attributed to the obscure power of the stars or the vengeance of angry gods. As philosophers sought to reassess the origins of natural disasters, they also made it clear that humans shared responsibility for the damages caused by a violent universe. This far-ranging book explores the way writers, thinkers, and artists have responded to the increasingly political concept of disaster from the Enlightenment until today. Marie-Helene Huet argues that post-Enlightenment culture has been haunted by the sense of emergency that made natural catastrophes and human deeds both a collective crisis and a personal tragedy. From the plague of 1720 to the cholera of 1832, from shipwrecks to film dystopias, disasters raise questions about identity and memory, technology, control, and liability. In her analysis, Huet considers anew the mythical figures of Medusa and Apollo, theories of epidemics, earthquakes, political crises, and films such as "Blow-Up" and "Blade Runner". With its scope and precision, "The Culture of Disaster" will appeal to a wide public interested in modern culture, philosophy, and intellectual history.

Saving the Souls of Medieval London

Saving the Souls of Medieval London

Marie-Hélène Rousseau

Routledge
2020
nidottu
St Paul's Cathedral stood at the centre of religious life in medieval London. It was the mother church of the diocese, a principal landowner in the capital and surrounding countryside, and a theatre for the enactment of events of national importance. The cathedral was also a powerhouse of commemoration and intercession, where prayers and requiem masses were offered on a massive scale for the salvation of the living and the dead. This spiritual role of St Paul's Cathedral was carried out essentially by the numerous chantry priests working and living in its precinct. Chantries were pious foundations, through which donors, clerks or lay, male or female, endowed priests to celebrate intercessory masses for the benefit of their souls. At St Paul's Cathedral, they were first established in the late twelfth century and, until they were dissolved in 1548, they contributed greatly to the daily life of the cathedral. They enhanced the liturgical services offered by the cathedral, increased the number of the clerical members associated with it, and intensified relations between the cathedral and the city of London. Using the large body of material from the cathedral archives, this book investigates the chantries and their impacts on the life, services and clerical community of the cathedral, from their foundation in the early thirteenth century to the dissolution. It demonstrates the flexibility and adaptability of these pious foundations and the various contributions they made to medieval society; and sheds light on the men who played a role which, until the abolition of the chantries in 1548, was seen to be crucial to the spiritual well-being of medieval London.

At the moment when Voyager 1 is launched into space carrying its famous golden record, a baby of unusual perception is born to a single mother in Philadelphia. Adina Giorno is tiny and jaundiced, but she reaches for warmth and light. As a child, she recognizes that she is different: She possesses knowledge of a faraway planet. The arrival of a fax machine enables her to contact her extraterrestrial relatives, beings who have sent her to report on the oddities of Earthlings. For years, as she moves through the world and makes a life for herself among humans, she dispatches transmissions on the terrors and surprising joys of their existence. Then, at a precarious moment, a beloved friend urges Adina to share her messages with the world. Is there a chance she is not alone? Marie-Helene Bertino's Beautyland is a novel of startling originality about the fragility and resilience of life on our Earth and in our universe. It is a remarkable evocation of the feeling of being in exile at home, and it introduces a gentle, unforgettable alien for our times.

Oogenesis

Oogenesis

Marie-Helene Verlhac; Anne Villeneuve

John Wiley Sons Inc
2010
sidottu
Oogenesis - the process by which female germ cells develop into mature eggs, or ova - is a complex process involving many important elements of developmental and cellular biology: from cell-cell interactions, complex signalling cascades, specialized cell cycles and cytoskeleton organization. Oocytes from various species (including clam, starfish, xenopus and mouse) are excellent model systems to study the biochemistry of cell division with important implications for basic and clinical research. This book describes the entire process of oogenesis in chronological order with contributions from leading international researchers and chapters covering medical and ethical considerations in oogenic biology. Topics include sex determination and gonadal development, control of meiotic chromosome pairing and homologous recombination, control of meiotic divisions and the remodelling of the oocyte into a totipotent zygote as well as medically-assisted reproduction. This volume is an essential resource for all students, researchers and clinicians in developmental and reproductive biology. Key features: Reaches beyond the study of simply meiosis to cover all aspects of oogenesisSynthesizes recent advances in the field, drawing on studies from different model speciesChapter sequence designed to follow the time line in vivoWritten by an international panel of expert researchers

Monstrous Imagination

Monstrous Imagination

Marie-Hélène Huet

Harvard University Press
1993
nidottu
“What woeful maternal fancy produced such a monster?” This was once the question asked when a deformed infant was born. From classical antiquity through the Enlightenment, the monstrous child bore witness to the fearsome power of the mother's imagination. What such a notion meant and how it reappeared, transformed, in the Romantic period are the questions explored in this book, a fascinating study of theories linking imagination, art, and monstrous progeny.Down through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, philosophers and men of science rendered their learned opinions on the power of the female imagination to dominate, and thus distort, the act of procreation. Drawing on biological and physiological texts from classical times through the nineteenth century, Marie-Hélène Huet presents this argument as it evolved and as it reflected doubts about the force of paternity. She shows how, in the late eighteenth century, the discussion shifted from the scientific sphere to the aesthetic, and how the idea of imagination as monstrous progenitor eventually became a Romantic conceit. In reinterpreting art as teratology, however, Romanticism reclaimed the subversive power of imagination as a masculine attribute; it was now the artist as monstrous father who would generate new forms. From Ambroise Pare to Diderot, from Shelley to Hawthorne, Balzac and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, as Huet demonstrates, the monster and the work of art challenged preconceived ideas of the natural order of things—and disclosed, for all to see, the silent desire of their makers: to procreate without the other.In this analysis of monstrous genesis Huet examines anew such questions as the authorship of Frankenstein, the birth of the Tussaud wax museum, and the ancient legend of the golem. Bringing together philosophy and science, aesthetics and popular culture, Monstrous Imagination is a marvel of intellectual history—a remarkable account of how the imagination has manifested itself, above all, in theory.

Correspondance de Frédéric II avec Louise-Dorothée de Saxe-Gotha (1740-1767)

Marie-Hélène Cotoni

Voltaire Foundation
1999
sidottu
Voici éditées pour la première fois intégralement les lettres échangées par Frédéric II et la duchesse de Saxe-Gotha, à partir des manuscrits conservés à Berlin et à Gotha. On y découvre comment Louise-Dorothée a cherché à aider Frédéric II par ses renseignements, ses interventions politiques ou ses démarches en faveur de la paix. Cette femme d'action était aussi une femme cultivée, qui fit connaître à son correspondant des ouvrages de Hume, Voltaire, Rousseau, Boulanger, ainsi que la Correspondance littéraire de Grimm. Le roi, souvent caustique dans ses jugements, lui adressa, de son côté, poèmes et œuvres satiriques. Il s'ensuit, à côté d'éloges sincères, des discussions philosophiques où la duchesse n'hésite pas à défendre parfois, sur la Providence ou la survie, des opinions opposées à celles de son royal correspondant. Leurs lettres, de plus en plus riches, révèlent en outre une admiration réciproque, une estime, une amitié qui vont croissant.

Les Dégoûts de Voltaire

Les Dégoûts de Voltaire

Marie-Hélène Cotoni

Voltaire Foundation
2017
nidottu
Les œuvres de Voltaire, et particulièrement sa correspondance, recèlent une thématique inattendue peu analysée par la critique: l’expression de ses dégoûts. Voltaire y dévoile ses dépits et déboires devant l’oppression politique et religieuse, ses exigences d’homme de lettres et d’historien, ses désillusions, exprimant ainsi sa vision pessimiste de la condition humaine. La révélation par Marie-Hélène Cotoni de l’importance que donnait Voltaire à ses dégoûts, de la vie à l’œuvre, a fait naître un nouveau champ de recherche: comment appréhender, si longtemps après, la sincérité d’une émotion à partir de traces écrites, laissées par un maître dans l’art d’écrire, mais aussi dans l’art de feindre?Dans ce livre, l’auteur évalue la diversité des dégoûts de Voltaire, dans ses rapports au monde et à soi-même, selon les situations qui les ont provoqués: dégoûts exagérés dans les jugements sévères que l’écrivain porte sur le monde des Lettres; sarcastiques ou hargneux devant qui s’écarte de la vérité; obsédants dans certaines polémiques; à peine chuchotés lors des désillusions de sa vie privée; allant jusqu’à l’horreur face à la ‘barbarie’ de son siècle.Marie-Hélène Cotoni analyse les motivations qui poussent Voltaire à exprimer ainsi ses dégoûts. Elle trace la frontière entre impressions réellement éprouvées et expression, afin de mesurer, autant que possible, la sincérité de l’homme tout comme l’habileté de l’écrivain. S’il plonge bien souvent ses lecteurs dans un monde de laideur, en employant un vocabulaire grossier et des métaphores brutales, il souhaite cependant les amener à épouser ses combats pour le Juste, le Beau et le Vrai. L’expression de sa répulsion devant les croyances erronées est pour Voltaire une autre manière de défendre le classicisme et la civilisation.
