This book reframes the debate around migration in the Mediterranean, and specifically around Lampedusa, by exploring how art forms - including works by Aida Silvestri, Bouchra Khalili, Isaac Julien, Maya Ramsay, Dagmawi Yimer and Broomberg & Chanarin - have become a platform for subverting the dominant narrative of migration.

Perhaps because of his stature and influence as a comic playwright, Goldoni has rarely been considered as an innovator in the musical sphere. This study aims to shed new light on his primary role in the evolution of Classical opera, and on the legacy of his innovations in the European musical tradition.

En Grande Grèce, le bel Adonis a largement inspiré les peintres, en majorité apuliens, qui ont illustré les différents épisodes du mythe, dont la remontée des Enfers, assimilable au renouveau de la végétation, thème en rapport avec la destination funéraire des vases.Hormis l'arbre à myrrhe, qui lui a donné naissance, trois plantes sont particulièrement associées à Adonis, le myrte, le laurier et le grenadier. Leur représentation est le sujet de cette étude.

Die externe Wissenschaftskommunikation ¿ also die Wissenschaftskommunikation über die jeweilige Forschungsgemeinschaft hinaus ¿ hat in den letzten etwa 20 Jahren stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. In besonderem Masse gilt dies für die Geisteswissenschaften, die ihre Existenzberechtigung zunehmend öffentlich legitimieren müssen. Der Band legt einen Grundstein für die systematische linguistische Erforschung der externen Kommunikation der Geisteswissenschaften, die bisher weitgehend ein Desiderat geblieben ist. Seine Beiträge untersuchen das kommunikative Verhältnis zwischen Geisteswissenschaften und Öffentlichkeit(en) ausgehend von konkreten empirischen Beispielen. Direkt oder indirekt zeigen sie auch Möglichkeiten auf, wie sich die externe Kommunikation der Geisteswissenschaften in Zukunft zu deren Vorteil verändern könnte.

How can we look at a picture in order to rethink aesthetics as a discipline that allows us to look at pictures from a philosophical point of view? Diderot's Salons demonstrate that the "imaginal" process leading to knowledge emerges from the picture itself, and that this process needs to be supported by a philosophical method.

In occasione del centenario della nascita di Giorgio Bassani, il convegno Giorgio Bassani, scrittore europeo, organizzato dall'Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Bruxelles in collaborazione con l'Université de Caen-LASLAR e con il sostegno del Comitato Nazionale per le Celebrazioni, ha indagato una dimensione fondamentale dello scrittore di Ferrara: la sua eccezionale apertura europea. Prosatore, poeta, sceneggiatore, editore, Bassani dialoga nelle sue opere con i grandi modelli della letteratura tra Ottocento e Novecento (da Stendhal a Proust, da Baudelaire a Valéry, da Rimbaud a Dickinson) e attraverso il suo lavoro di traduttore dal francese e dall'inglese si confronta con il problema di traghettare un'opera da una lingua all'altra. In una pluralità e ricchezza di approcci, che investono non solo le opere più celebri, ma anche le prime prove, gli interventi presentati in questa sede delineano, nelle opere di Bassani, un articolato sistema di citazioni e assonanze e mettono in valore la complessità dell'idea di "traduzione" concepita dallo scrittore.Arricchisce il volume l'articolo « Dalla poesia pura all'assenza di poesia » pubblicato da Bassani nel luglio del '47 sulle pagine de Il Popolo e mai più riproposto. Un testo importante che illumina la concezione bassaniana della parola poetica.

Der vorliegende Band 28 der Zeitschrift Morgen-Glantz enthält die überarbeitete Fassung der Vorträge, die an der 27. Tagung der Christian Knorr von Rosenroth-Gesellschaft gehalten wurden. Anlässlich des Gedenkjahrs zur 500. Wiederkehr der durch die 95 Thesen Martin Luthers eingeleiteten Reformation, beschäftigte sich die Tagung mit dem Ringen um den rechten Glauben. Orthodoxie, Konfession und Toleranz 150 Jahre nach der Reformation. Tatsächlich wirkte der Aufruf des Reformators weit in das 17. Jahrhundert hinein und hatte gerade für die Zeitgenossen Christian Knorrs noch Auswirkungen auf ihren Alltag. Der vorliegende Band stellt deshalb die Frage nach den Wirkungen der Reformation und der auf sie reagierenden Reformbestrebungen auf der einen Seite und Rekatholisierungsbemühungen auf der anderen Seite. In diesem Band werden außerdem weitere Beiträge und Rezensionen veröffentlicht, die zum Aufgabenbereich der Gesellschaft und ihrer Zeitschrift gehören.

This book provides a nexus between research and practice through teachers' narratives of their experiences with telecollaboration. The projects described in the volume serve as excellent examples for any teacher or education stakeholder interested in setting up their own telecollaborative exchange.

Du fait de leur intrigante variété formelle, les interrogatives totales et partielles du français ont fait l'objet, au cours des années écoulées, d'une foule de recherches en syntaxe et en sociolinguistique, alors que d'autres courants tels que la rhétorique ou la pragmatique rivalisaient d'ingéniosité pour rendre compte de leur variabilité sémantique. Afin d'enrichir le débat, le présent ouvrage propose une réflexion à large spectre sur les tours interrogatifs du français, leur marquage syntaxique et intonatif, les paramètres linguistiques ou sociaux susceptibles de déclencher, dans un contexte donné, le choix d'une variante interrogative plutôt qu'une autre ; l'ouvrage traite en outre des propriétés sémantiques et inférentielles des interrogatives, ainsi que des fonctions discursives et narratologiques qui leur sont dévolues.Les auteurs appuient leurs analyses sur des exemples attestés, parfois tirés de corpus spécifiques (dialogues de films de banlieue, textos, Fables de La Fontaine, bandes dessinées...). Ils manifestent un éclectisme théorique qui nous semble nécessaire pour appréhender de manière non réductrice cet objet complexe, aux multiples facettes.

This book gives an overview of telephone interpretation, a modality of remote interpretation that is becoming more and more popular for its benefits. It focusses on many of the aspects that shape this new modality of interpretation from a professional, innovative and pedagogical approach.

This book presents the Book of Ecclesiastes as a single coherent work. Koheleth's fault-finding is aimed at people who persist in missing out on the present. Contrasting with these are Koheleth's positive perscriptions of the present. The two aspects come together in this investigation, which is founded on an acceptance of all that God has created.
