La bande dessinée

Auteure: Elissa Pustka

Nombre de pages: 518

Pour la première fois, un ouvrage collectif traite de la bande dessinée francaise et francophone d'un point de vue linguistique et didactique. 17 contributions de romanistes, d'expert.e.s en bandes dessinées et d'enseignant.e.s de FLE présentent un tour d'horizon de ce vaste domaine, allant de classiques comme Tintin, Astérix ou Les Schtroumpfs à des publications plus récentes comme Les Cahiers d'Esther, Les Vieux Fourneaux ou la BD de non-fiction féministe. Les contributions linguistiques analysent la grammaire de l'oral mise en scène (négation, dislocations, etc.), différentes variétés (langage des jeunes, francais québécois) et des problèmes de traduction. Les contributions didactiques montrent le potentiel de la BD pour l'enseignement du FLE au lycée et à l'université (notamment dans les pays germanophones).

Voyages en nostalgie

Auteure: Denis Bachand

Nombre de pages: 149

Voyages en nostalgie explore un corpus de productions culturelles et artistiques choisies en fonction de leur pouvoir évocateur et de leur capacité à faire ressurgir des moments privilégiés grâce à des lectures, des musiques, des publicités, des fictions télévisuelles, des films et des jeux vidéo. Si notre existence est faite de rencontres avec des personnes en chair et en os, elle est également modelée par d’innombrables rencontres virtuelles, médiatisées par les propositions artistiques que leurs auteurs soumettent à notre attention. À travers celles-ci, nous construisons notre identité. Nous apprenons à vivre et à nous connaître en découvrant plusieurs visions du monde. Certaines créations éveillent spontanément des émotions liées à nos expériences personnelles. D’autres se déposent dans notre inconscient, prêtes à surgir de façon inattendue ou à la suite d’un travail volontaire d’excavation des souvenirs et d’exercice de la mémoire. Elles constituent des écrans sur lesquels nous nous projetons et des tremplins favorisant l’exercice de notre propre expression. Voici un texte hybride dans lequel le ton alterne entre le registre de...

Give Peace a Chant

Auteure: Dario Martinelli

Nombre de pages: 188

This monograph offers a unique analysis of social protest in popular music. It presents theoretical descriptions, methodological tools, and an approach that encompasses various fields of musicology, cultural studies, semiotics, discourse analysis, media studies, and political and social sciences. The author argues that protest songs should be taken as a musical genre on their own. He points out that the general approach, when discussing these songs, has been so far that of either analyzing the lyrics or the social context. For some reason, the music itself has been often overlooked. This book attempts to fill this gap. Its central thesis is that a complete overview of these repertoires demands a thorough interaction among contextual, lyrical, and musical elements together. To accomplish this, the author develops a novel model that systemizes and investigates musical repertoires. The model is then applied to four case studies, those, too, chosen among topics that are little (or not at all) frequented by scholars.

Jazz Italian Style

Auteure: Anna Harwell Celenza

Nombre de pages: 269

Jazz Italian Style explores a complex era in music history, when politics and popular culture collided with national identity and technology. When jazz arrived in Italy at the conclusion of World War I, it quickly became part of the local music culture. In Italy, thanks to the gramophone and radio, many Italian listeners paid little attention to a performer's national and ethnic identity. Nick LaRocca (Italian-American), Gorni Kramer (Italian), the Trio Lescano (Jewish-Dutch), and Louis Armstrong (African-American), to name a few, all found equal footing in the Italian soundscape. The book reveals how Italians made jazz their own, and how, by the mid-1930s, a genre of jazz distinguishable from American varieties and supported by Mussolini began to flourish in northern Italy and in its turn influenced Italian-American musicians. Most importantly, the book recovers a lost repertoire and an array of musicians whose stories and performances are compelling and well worth remembering.

Montréal dans les bulles: représentations de l'espace urbain et du français parlé montréalais dans la bande dessinée

Auteure: Anna Giaufret

Nombre de pages: 300

Comment les jeunes bédéistes francophones du Québec représentent-ils la ville de Montréal et comment mettent-ils en scène le français parlé montréalais dans leurs œuvres ? Voici les deux grandes questions qui sont au cœur de cet ouvrage consacré à la bande dessinée indépendante montréalaise contemporaine. Après avoir tracé un panorama général de la production montréalaise contemporaine de bandes dessinées, l’auteure se penche sur un corpus constitué d’albums de jeunes auteures et auteurs publiés après 2010. Les analyses s’intéressent aux stratégies mises de l’avant par les bédéistes pour représenter les divers espaces urbains montréalais ainsi qu’aux particularités – lexicales, syntaxiques et néographiques – de la langue que ces auteurs choisissent de mettre dans la bouche de leurs personnages.

Jazz Italiano

Auteure: David Chapman

Nombre de pages: 263

Italy has always been a land enamored of music, but in the early 20th century it was jazz that seduced many Italian music lovers. Loud, brash and syncopated, it was an imported passion that came from across the Atlantic; it was first performed by visiting American troupes and returning emigrants. Eventually Italians began creating their own jazz. From ragtime to big bands, Italy has foxtrotted and boogie-woogied through periods of war and peace, poverty and prosperity, Fascism and democracy. Italy often had a mixed opinion of jazz, and that suspicion and active hatred of foreign musical novelties reached its apex during Mussolini’s era – and yet jazz survived and even flourished despite political and social disapproval. This illustrated book records the story of Italian jazz from the early period of imitation to the time when the country’s own jazz geniuses made the genre uniquely Italian. Musicologists, historians and jazz lovers will find much to enjoy here.

The Canadian Alternative

Auteure: Dominick Grace , Eric Hoffman

Nombre de pages: 309

Contributions by Jordan Bolay, Ian Brodie, Jocelyn Sakal Froese, Dominick Grace, Eric Hoffman, Paddy Johnston, Ivan Kocmarek, Jessica Langston, Judith Leggatt, Daniel Marrone, Mark J. McLaughlin, Joan Ormrod, Laura A. Pearson, Annick Pellegrin, Mihaela Precup, Jason Sacks, and Ruth-Ellen St. Onge This overview of the history of Canadian comics explores acclaimed as well as unfamiliar artists. Contributors look at the myriad ways that English-language, Francophone, Indigenous, and queer Canadian comics and cartoonists pose alternatives to American comics, to dominant perceptions, even to gender and racial categories. In contrast to the United States' melting pot, Canada has been understood to comprise a social, cultural, and ethnic mosaic, with distinct cultural variation as part of its identity. This volume reveals differences that often reflect in highly regional and localized comics such as Paul MacKinnon's Cape Breton-specific Old Trout Funnies, Michel Rabagliati's Montreal-based Paul comics, and Kurt Martell and Christopher Merkley's Thunder Bay-specific zombie apocalypse. The collection also considers some of the conventionally "alternative" cartoonists, namely Seth, Dave...

Musiques dans l'Italie fasciste (1922-1943)

Auteure: Charlotte Ginot-slacik

Nombre de pages: 372

Plus de vingt ans séparent la marche sur Rome (1922) de la chute de Mussolini (1943), au cours desquels les instances politiques et culturelles de l’Italie sont refondées. Dans le domaine musical, les conséquences du fascisme s’avèrent décisives : ambivalent à l’égard de la modernité européenne, désireux d’exalter la nation et ses mythes, le régime suscite d’abord l’intérêt de compositeurs en quête d’unité et de récit national. Aviateurs et tyrans de la Rome antique hantent alors les scènes d’opéra, tandis que musiques de film et chansons se font l’écho des conquêtes coloniales. Ni les musiques savantes ni les genres populaires ne sont étrangers au fascisme : sans imposer de canons esthétiques, le régime accompagne la réforme des conservatoires et subventionne des événements majeurs tels la Biennale de Venise ou le Mai musical florentin. Si l’attitude des musiciens est dominée par une profonde ambiguïté liée aux contraintes imposées par l’État, pour la jeune génération, néanmoins, celle de Dallapiccola et de Petrassi, l’adoption des lois antisémites constitue une rupture existentielle dont des œuvres telles que Le...

The Hornet's Sting

Auteure: Mark Ryan

Nombre de pages: 377

The exploits of Tommy Sneum, the Danish-born spy who died in 2007, made him a legend in espionage circles. But until now, the full extraordinary story of Sneum's action-packed career as a British-run spy has never been told. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with Sneum, Mark Ryan describes how Tommy made an incredible escape from Denmark in a battered old Hornet Moth aircraft - which he had to refuel in mid-air by climbing out on the wing. Later, he escaped from Denmark again - by walking across a treacherous frozen sea on which two of his companions died. Tommy brought over precious intelligence about the Nazi radar installations in Denmark and their atom bomb - his reward was to be imprisoned in Brixton as a suspected double agent and threatened with execution. He cheated the hangman - but it is only with the publication of this enthralling book that Sneum can be celebrated as, in the words of Professor R.V. Jones, Churchill's chief of scientific intelligence, 'one of the true heroes of World War II'.

Laugh or Fly

Auteure: Peter Hart , Gary Bain

Nombre de pages: 282

A rip-roaring gallop through the lives of the Royal Flying Corps air crew in the Great War. They lived their lives amidst a strange dichotomy as they moved from safety to dire danger, and back again in a matter of hours. This created a dreadful strain that could soon shred anyone’s mental health. On the ground they were cloistered in simple but adequate accommodation several miles behind the lines. Farmhouses, barns and huts were used, but they were all far better than the squalor faced by the infantry scurrying in their muddy trenches. Flying personnel were blessed with beds and blankets. They could set up a decent mess and socialise to their heart’s content. A smorgasbord of entertainments, with perhaps an old out of tune piano, access to drink and occasional vigorous games of mess rugby. There were visits to local towns which offered tantalizing glimpses – and sometimes more - of the female of the species. A glimpse was probably never enough for most of these very young men. What more could a chap want? But when they were flying over the front it was no laughing matter. Death lurked in the skies, zooming in its ‘winged chariots’ out of the sun, or bursting from the...

Wings

Auteure: Patrick Bishop

Nombre de pages: 395

The Royal Air Force is synonymous with its heroic achievements in the summer of 1940, when Winston Churchill's 'famous few' - the Hurricane and Spitfire pilots of RAF Fighter Command - held Goering's Luftwaffe at bay in the Battle of Britain, thereby changing the course of the war. For much of the twentieth century, warplanes were fixed in the world's imagination, a symbol of the perils and excitements of the modern era. But within the space of a hundred years, military aviation has morphed from the exotic to the mundane. An activity which was charged with danger - the domain of the daring - is now carried out by computers and pilotless drones. Aviators have always seemed different to soldiers and sailors - more adventurous, questing and imaginative. Their stories gripped the public and in both wars and air aces dominated each side's propaganda, capturing hearts and dreams. Writing with the verve, passion and the sheer narrative aplomb familiar to many thousands of readers from his bestselling Second World War aerial histories, Fighter Boys and Bomber Boys, Patrick Bishop's Wings is a rich and compelling account of military flying from its heroic early days to the present.

One in a Thousand

Auteure: Graham Broad

Nombre de pages: 202

This short microhistory details the life and death of Eddie McKay, a varsity athlete at Western University, who flew with the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War. Graham Broad switches creatively from telling McKay's fascinating story to teaching valuable lessons on how to do history: why the past matters, why historians take different approaches, how to pose historical questions, how to identify relevant source materials, and the importance of thoughtful, intelligent, and respectful treatment of historical subjects. The book includes a timeline of the subject's life, a map of relevant combat areas in the Battle of the Somme, and nine illustrations. It concludes with four unsolved events in McKay's life: a mysterious woman, a strange advertisement for batteries, an empty envelope, and an unknown grave—demonstrating that even a detailed history about one person's life is never really complete.

Fighters Over Malta

Auteure: Brian Cull , Frederick Galea

Nombre de pages: 495

All known combat claims and lossesMany personal accounts and memories of the battleIllustrated with new and rarely seen photographs Brian Cull and Frederick Galea’s definitive Fighters over Malta: Gladiators and Hurricanes 1940-1942 is a highly-detailed account of the gallant band of RAF and Commonwealth pilots who flew in defence of Malta between June 1940 and April 1942, when help in the guise of Spitfires finally arrived. Most of the Hurricanes, which held this tiny outpost of the British Empire in the heart of Axis-dominated territory, had been flown from the decks of aircraft carriers or from bases in North Africa, while a handful of fighter pilots arrived by Sunderland flying boats or other aircraft in transit from the UK via Gibraltar. Many of these pilots were inexperienced and quickly paid the supreme price, particularly when Messerschmitt Bf 109 pilots of the elite 7/JG26 arrived in Sicily in early 1941, and later in the year when JG53 made their presence felt. Important personal diaries and journals have come to light, and these have been widely quoted to provide the atmospheric background and thoughts and hopes of Hurricane pilots who defended Malta. Not all diarists ...

Le Québec, connais-tu ? La vie privée

Auteure: Aleksandra Grzybowska

Nombre de pages: 148

ATD Quart Monde, une histoire transnationale

Auteure: Axelle Brodiez-dolino

Nombre de pages: 583

Que peuvent les associations de solidarité, souvent présentées comme des bonnes consciences citoyennes, des pis-aller, des sous-traitantes de l’impuissance publique ? Certaines sont pourtant très puissantes : elles sont un levier fondamental d’innovations, de sensibilisation et d’avancées sociales, et notre protection sociale serait sans elles peu de chose. Cet ouvrage le démontre en suivant l’histoire d’ATD Quart Monde, créée en 1957 par scission d’Emmaüs dans un bidonville de la région parisienne et devenue internationale par des approches et des méthodes innovantes. Elle a joué un rôle clé dans l’édification de nombre de droits actuels, depuis le RMI/RSA jusqu’au logement opposable. Au niveau onusien, on lui doit la Journée mondiale de lutte contre la misère et l’approche de la grande pauvreté comme violation des droits de l’Homme.

America in Italian Culture

Auteure: Guido Bonsaver

When Italy unified in 1861, America was emerging as a world power, and advances in communication allowed Italians a view of American life to which they could aspire.

Hurricane

Auteure: John Dibbs , Tony Holmes , Gordon Riley

Nombre de pages: 258

2017 marks the 80th anniversary of the remarkable Hawker Hurricane formally entering service. The RAF's first monoplane fighter, it dragged the Air Force into a position where it could defend Britain in her 'hour of need'. The true workhorse of the RAF, the Hurricane came into its own in the hot summer months of 1940 valiantly defending the skies above Britain. Outnumbering Spitfires three to one, the Hurricane also downed far more enemy aircraft. Without the obvious elegance of the Me 109 or the Spitfire, the Hurricane was nonetheless beloved by its pilots for its ability to simultaneously take a battering and inflict serious damage from its remarkably stable gun platform. This stunning book reveals the Hurricane in all its glory – from fascinating first-hand accounts from the men who flew her to the truly breath-taking images from John Dibbs of the Hurricanes still in flight today. This lavish, fully illustrated edition is a must-have for all fans of aviation history.

Soggetti cinematografici mai realizzati

Auteure: Cesare Zavattini

Nombre de pages: 604

In questo primo volume dell’Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Cesare Zavattini presentiamo un’ampia selezione di soggetti cinematografici mai divenuti film, tutti corredati da note storico-critiche e note filologico genetiche, e confrontabili con alcune varianti raccolte online nel portale dell’Edizione Nazionale. Presso l’Archivio Cesare Zavattini conservato alla Biblioteca Panizzi di Reggio Emilia si trovano documenti relativi a circa duecentotrenta film scritti e firmati da Zavattini (anche come co-autore), tra i quali sono circa centosessanta i soggetti cinematografici mai realizzati, molti dei quali ancora inediti. Del lavoro incessante di Cesare Zavattini di stesura di soggetti e sceneggiature per il cinema (e a volte per la televisione) ci interessa mostrare l’officina delle scritture, anche nel loro divenire. Di fondo c’è una scommessa teorica: entrare nell’ecosistema Zavattini non dai testi più autorevoli, come le opere letterarie e poetiche, ma attraverso quelli più dimenticati e misteriosi, come i soggetti e i progetti per film non realizzati. Questo permette anche una rilettura della storia del cinema e della cultura attraverso i materiali d’archivio.
