  jean grenier les iles: Empty and Full François Cheng, 1994 Chinese painting might be called philosophy in action, for it is one of the highest expressions of Chinese spirituality. Both a medium for contemplation leading to self-transcendence and a microcosm embodying universal principles and primal forces, it is a means for making manifest the Chinese worldview. At the heart of this worldview is the notion of emptiness, the dynamic principle of transformation. Only through emptiness can things attain their full measure and human beings approach the universe at the level of totality. Focusing on the principle of emptiness, Francois Cheng uses semiotic analysis and textual explication to reveal the key themes and structures of Chinese aesthetics in the practice of pictorial art. Among the many Chinese writers, poets, and artists whose writings are quoted, he gives special emphasis to a great Ch'ing dynasty theoretician and painter, Shih-t'ao. Twenty-seven reproductions of the words of Shih-t'ao and other masters illustrate the interpretive commentary.

  jean grenier les iles: The Other Side of the Island Allegra Goodman, 2009-05-14 A gripping and beautifully written dystopian page-turner from New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist ALLEGRA GOODMAN. In the eighteenth glorious year of Enclosure, long after The Flood, a young girl named Honor moves with her parents to Island 365 in the Tranquil Sea. Life on the tropical island is peaceful—there is no sadness and no visible violence in this world. Earth Mother and her Corporation have created New Weather. The sky is always blue and it almost never rains. Every family fits into its rightful, orderly, and predictable place… Except Honor’s. Her family does not follow the rules. They ignore curfew, sing songs, and do not pray to Earth Mother. Honor doesn’t fit in with the other children at the Old Colony School. Then she meets Helix, a boy with a big heart who slowly helps her uncover a terrible secret about the Island: Sooner or later, those who do not fit disappear, and they don’t ever come back. Honor knows her family could be next, and when the unthinkable happens, she must make the dangerous journey to the Other Side of the Island—before Earth Mother comes for her too…
  jean grenier les iles: A History of Little Havana Guillermo J. Grenier, Corinna J. Moebius, 2015 In the heart of Miami, Little Havana is a neighborhood buzzing with culture.

Find out how a location associated with old Cubans playing dominos has become a vibrant, multi-ethnic community and a birthplace of Miami's most exciting arts and music movements. Learn why Little Havana has continued to serve as a political stage for thousands of Cubans demonstrating on its streets, like the famous Calle Ocho. Authors Guillermo Grenier and Corinna Moebius trace the history and growth of this Latino epicenter in the first in-depth portrait of a world-renowned neighborhood.
  jean grenier les iles: Albert Camus: Les Extremes Et l'Equilibre , 2023-10-16 Le colloque dont nous publions ici les actes a marqué la première initiative en Angleterre de la Société des Etudes Camusiennes. Il a été accueilli par le Centre for Research in French Studies à l'Université de Keele en mars 1993, et a rassemblé des spécialistes venus des Etats-Unis, du Japon, d'Argentine, d'Irlande, de Belgique, d'Espagne, de Grèce, de Grande-Bretagne et de France. Les communications offrent une gamme d'approches méthodologiques et présentent des études approfondies sur les écrits philosophiques, politiques, polémiques et littéraires de l'auteur. Sollicité de toutes parts par ce que son époque avait de plus déréglé, et croyant avec Pascal que rien n'est vrai qui force à exclure, Albert Camus ne veut rien refuser des servitudes de son temps. 'Celui qui aborde sérieusement le problème moral doit finir dans les extrêmes', déclare-t-il. Il s'adresse de plein coeeur aux extrémités de la révolte, du désespoir, de la démence, donnant provisoirement raison à son adversaire afin de mieux le comprendre. Ainsi il en vient à connaître les démons de son temps et à préciser la plupart des contagions contemporaines. En même temps, se méfiant de ces tentations, il récuse cependant le 'tout est permis', cherchant à esquisser les limites en deçà desquelles un langage, une pensée et une oeuvre peuvent rester cohérents. OEuvre d'excès, donc, mais oeeuvre d'extrême mesure. D'autant plus qu'elle porte un témoignage sur son temps et sur son créateur, qui conçoit sa vocation comme exemplaire. 'L'effort que j'ai fait ... pour établir mon propre équilibre n'est pas entièrement vain. Ce que j'ai dit ou trouvé peut servir, doit servir à d'autres', dit Camus. Ce volume a pour but de réaffirmer l'actualité de ce souhait.
  jean grenier les iles: A Companion to World Literature Ken Seigneurie, 2020-01-10 A Companion to World Literature is a far-reaching and sustained study of key authors, texts, and topics from around the world and throughout history. Six comprehensive volumes present essays from over 300 prominent international scholars focusing on many aspects of this vast and burgeoning field of literature, from its ancient origins to the most modern narratives. Almost by definition, the texts of world literature are unfamiliar; they stretch our hermeneutic circles, thrust us before unfamiliar genres, modes, forms, and themes. They require a greater degree of attention and focus, and in turn engage our imagination in new ways. This Companion explores texts within their particular cultural context, as well as their ability to speak to readers in other contexts, demonstrating the ways in which world literature can challenge parochial world views by identifying cultural commonalities. Each unique volume includes introductory chapters on a variety of theoretical viewpoints that inform the field, followed by essays considering the ways in which authors and their books contribute to and engage with the many visions and variations of world literature as a genre. Explores how texts, tropes, narratives, and genres reflect nations, languages, cultures, and periods Links world literary theory and texts in a clear, synoptic style Identifies how individual texts are influenced and affected by issues such as intertextuality, translation, and sociohistorical conditions Presents a variety of methodologies to demonstrate how modern scholars approach the study of world literature A significant addition to the field, A Companion to World Literature provides advanced students, teachers, and researchers with cutting-edge scholarship in world literature and literary theory.

  jean grenier les iles: A Great and Noble Scheme: The Tragic Story of the Expulsion of the French Acadians from Their American Homeland John Mack Faragher, 2006-02-17 Altogether superb: an accessible, fluent account that advances scholarship while building a worthy memorial to the victims of two and a half centuries past. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In 1755, New England troops embarked on a great and noble scheme to expel 18,000 French-speaking Acadians (the neutral French) from Nova Scotia, killing thousands, separating innumerable families, and driving many into forests where they waged a desperate guerrilla resistance. The right of neutrality; to live in peace from the imperial wars waged between France and England; had been one of the founding values of Acadia; its settlers traded and intermarried freely with native Mikmaq Indians and English Protestants alike. But the Acadians' refusal to swear unconditional allegiance to the British Crown in the mid-eighteenth century gave New Englanders, who had long coveted Nova Scotia's fertile farmland, pretense enough to launch a campaign of ethnic cleansing on a massive scale. John Mack Faragher draws on original research to weave 150 years of history into a gripping narrative of both the civilization of Acadia and the British plot to destroy it.
  jean grenier les iles: Embodiment Ramona Fotiade, David Jasper, Olivier Salazar-Ferrer, 2016-05-06 This book examines a number of landmark shifts in our account of the relationship between human and divine existence, as reflected through the perception of time and corporeal experience. Drawing together some of the best scholars in the field, this book provides a representative cross-section of influential trends in the philosophy of religion (e.g. phenomenology, existential thought, Biblical hermeneutics, deconstruction) that have shaped our understanding of the body in its profane and sacred dimensions as site of conflicting discourses on presence and absence, subjectivity and the death of the subject, mortality, resurrection and eternal life.

  jean grenier les iles: The Cambridge Companion to Camus Edward J. Hughes, 2007-04-26 Albert Camus is one of the iconic figures of twentieth-century French literature, one of France's most widely read modern literary authors and one of the youngest winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature. As the author of L'Etranger and the architect of the notion of 'the Absurd' in the 1940s, he shot to prominence in France and beyond. His work nevertheless attracted hostility as well as acclaim and he was increasingly drawn into bitter political controversies, especially the issue of France's place and role in the country of his birth, Algeria. Most recently, postcolonial studies have identified in his writings a set of preoccupations ripe for revisitation. Situating Camus in his cultural and historical context, this 2007 Companion explores his best-selling novels, his ambiguous engagement with philosophy, his theatre, his increasingly high-profile work as a journalist and his reflection on ethical and political questions that continue to concern readers today.
  jean grenier les iles: The Bell-Tower Herman Melville, 2014-04-15 Bannadonna is an eccentric artist and architect who dreams up plans for a magnificent bell tower. After receiving approval from the city, Bannadonna happily begins construction, but local citizens begin to notice strange occurrences associated with the bell-tower, and complaints eventually reach the city magistrates. While touring the magistrates around the tower, Bannadonna shows off his work and readily answers their questions, but one curiosity remains unanswered—what lies beneath the shroud in the bell-tower. “The Bell-Tower” is a dark literary work that explores a mystery that is never fully revealed.

  jean grenier les iles: Albert Camus John Foley, 2008 Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing philosophy, literature, politics and history, John Foley examines the full breadth of Camus' ideas to provide a comprehensive and rigorous study of his political and philosophical thought and a significant contribution to a range of debates current in Camus research. Foley argues that the coherence of Camus' thought can best be understood through a thorough understanding of the concepts of 'the absurd' and 'revolt' as well as the relation between them. This book includes a detailed discussion of Camus' writings for the newspaper Combat, a systematic analysis of Camus' discussion of the moral legitimacy of political violence and terrorism, a reassessment of the prevailing postcolonial critique of Camus' humanism, and a sustained analysis of Camus' most important and frequently neglected work, L'Homme revolte (The Rebel).
  jean grenier les iles: Christian Metaphysics and Neoplatonism Albert Camus, 2007 Contemporary scholarship tends to view Albert Camus as a modern, but he himself was conscious of the past and called the transition from Hellenism to Christianity the true and only turning point in history. For Camus, modernity was not fully comprehensible without an examination of the aspirations that were first articulated in antiquity and that later received their clearest expression in Christianity. These aspirations amounted to a fundamental reorientation of human life in politics, religion, science, and philosophy. Understanding the nature and achievement of that reorientation became the central task of Christian Metaphysics and Neoplatonism. Primarily known through its inclusion in a French omnibus edition, it has remained one of Camus' least-read works, yet it marks his first attempt to understand the relationship between Greek philosophy and Christianity as he charted the movement from the Gospels through Gnosticism and Plotinus to what he calls Augustine's second revelation of the Christian faith. Ronald Srigley's translation of this seminal document helps illuminate these aspects of Camus' work. His freestanding English edition exposes readers to an important part of Camus' thought that is often overlooked by those concerned primarily with the book's literary value and supersedes the extant McBride translation by retaining a greater degree of literalness. Srigley has fully annotated Christian Metaphysics to include nearly all of Camus' original citations and has tracked down many poorly identified sources. When Camus cites an ancient primary source, whether in French translation or in the original language, Srigley substitutes a standard English translation in the interest of making his edition accessible to a wider range of readers. His introduction places the text in the context of Camus' better-known later work, explicating its relationship to those mature writings and exploring how its themes were reworked in subsequent books. Arguing that Camus was one of the great critics of modernity through his attempt to disentangle the Greeks from the Christians, Srigley clearly demonstrates the place of Christian Metaphysics in Camus' oeuvre. As the only stand-alone English version of this important work-and a long-overdue critical edition-his fluent translation is an essential benchmark in our understanding of Camus and his place in modern thought.

  jean grenier les iles: Right Behind You Lisa Gardner, 2018-06-12 THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Another twisty bestselling thriller from Lisa Gardner featuring Pierce Quincy and Rainie Conner as they take on a case that hits far too close to home. Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash's older brother beat their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be adopted by retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: They are all experts on monsters. Then the call comes in. A double murder at a local gas station, followed by reports of an armed suspect shooting his way through the wilds of Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie race to assist, they are forced to confront mounting evidence: The shooter may very well be Sharlah's older brother, Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree has only just begun. As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly, Quincy and Rainie must answer two critical questions: Why after eight years has this young man started killing again? And what does this mean for Sharlah? Once upon a time, Sharlah's big brother saved her life. Now, she has two questions of her own: Is her brother a hero or a killer? And how much will it cost her new family before they learn the final, shattering truth? Because as Sharlah knows all too well, the biggest danger is the one standing right behind you.

  jean grenier les iles: The Rebel Albert Camus, 2012-09-19 By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution that resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times. For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower.

  jean grenier les iles: Sea of Literatures Angela Fabris, Albert Göschl, Steffen Schneider, 2023-12-18 Mediterranean studies flourish in literary and cultural studies, but concepts of the Mediterranean and the theories and methods they use are very disparate. This is because the Mediterranean is not a simple geographical or historical unity, but a multiplicity, a network of highly interconnected elements, each of which is different and individual. Talking about Mediterranean literature raises the question of whether the connectivity of Mediterranean literature can or should be limited in some way by constructing an inside and an outside of the Mediterranean. What kind of connectivity and fragmentation do literary texts produce, how do they build and interrupt references (to the real, to fictional forms of representation, to history, but also to other texts and discourses), how do they create and deny communication, and how do they engage with and reflect literary and non-literary concepts of the Mediterranean? These and other questions are considered and discussed in the over twenty contributions gathered in this volume.
  jean grenier les iles: Palace of Books Roger Grenier, 2014-10-08 For decades, Roger Grenier has been charming readers with compact, erudite books that draw elegant connections between our lives and our love of the arts. Whether he's turning to literature and philosophy to help us see our canine companions anew in 'The Difficulty of Being a Dog' or mapping a life through cameras and photographers in 'A Box of Photographs', Grenier's books feels like a gift from a lost golden age of belles-lettres. With 'Palace of Books', Grenier invites us to explore the domain of literature, its sweeping vistas and hidden recesses alike.
  jean grenier les iles: Caligula Et Camus Sophie Bastien, 2006 Alors que le theatre d'Albert Camus recoit de plus en plus de consideration de la part des universitaires, cet ouvrage se consacre a la meilleure piece camusienne, Caligula. Il en propose une analyse structurelle, pour en faire ressortir toute la metatheatralite, et definit les rapports complexes que celle-ci entretient avec la folie et le politique: il cerne ainsi dans leur interaction les motifs qui sont au cour de l'ouvre. De plus, il etablit des liens aussi riches que varies avec des textes historiographiques et des ouvres-phares de la litterature occidentale, qui prefigurent le personnage si puissant qu'est Caligula. En somme, il situe la piece sur le triple plan d'une tradition philosophique et litteraire qui remonte a l'Antiquite, du renouveau theatral qui marque le milieu du XXe siecle, et de la production de Camus dans son ensemble.
  jean grenier les iles: Nouveaux Cahiers François Mauriac n°07 François Mauriac, 2014-04-01 Ce volume est le septième de la série des Nouveaux cahiers François Mauriac.
  jean grenier les iles: Violent Histories David Gascoigne, 2007 This volume presents selected papers from the conference 'Violence, Culture and Identity' held at St Andrews University in 2003. It seeks to explore the ways in which French writing since 1920 has registered and reflected on the violent national traumas of the World Wars, the Occupation and decolonisation. The essays consider how these crises have led French writers to a critical, often painful reassessment of national, cultural and individual identity. Contributors trace the different challenges offered to any comfortable consensual notions of Frenchness, and to the structures of authority which invest in such a consensus. A recurrent preoccupation is the problematic issue of 'memory culture', especially of how a post-conflict generation copes with an avowed or concealed inheritance of violence and guilt. The thematics, ethics, rhetoric and imagery of violence are charted through debates around surrealism and in writings by major figures, such as Malraux, Sartre, Camus, Genet and Modiano, while a final group of essays looks closely at how a new wave within the popular roman noir genre (the 'néo-polar') engages emphatically and controversially with these issues and their political implications.

  jean grenier les iles: Le messager des îles Hubert Damisch, 2018-01-25T00:00:00+01:00 Nous sommes peu de temps après mai 68. Les sciences humaines bouillonnent. En 1972, Paul Flamand demande à Hubert Damisch sa Théorie du nuage : un ouvrage devenu depuis un classique, traduit en plusieurs langues. 1972-2012 : c'était donc il y a quarante ans, Hubert Damisch ouvrait un commerce inédit dans le champ des sciences humaines, en même temps qu'il y introduisait un nouveau type d'objet théorique. La Théorie du nuage fut un succès au moins relatif (près de 12 000 exemplaires) qui connaît aujourd'hui un regain avec la vogue du Cloud Computing – l'informatique en nuage. C'est le moment que choisit Damisch pour réitérer l'opération sous une autre forme. Quel lien peut-il y avoir entre le marchand de nuages , cher au Baudelaire du Spleen de Paris, et ce nouveau Messager des îles ? La question est au centre d'un livre au style très différent. Là où naguère il lui semblait impossible de traiter de pareils objets sans l'assistance de la théorie , l'auteur développe, à l'aide de courtes fictions, de souvenirs d'enfance, de guerre, et de voyages, aussi bien que de multiples lectures et citations, un dispositif qui équivaut à une hypothèse en forme de question : un discours est-il même concevable sur les îles, avec elles ou entre elles ?
