La découverte puis la fouille en 2009, dans le parc du château de Baillet-en-France, près de Paris, des vestiges de sculptures monumentales du pavillon soviétiques de l'exposition de Paris 1937 font ...ressurgir des pans oubliés de l'histoire sociale et politique du lieu et nous documentent sur le contexte de création de cette oeuvre de propagande et son destin contrarié. L'exhumation des sculpture, leur présentation muséographique, la copie effectuée par les russes, sont l'occasion de questionner les visions contemporaine de cette oeuvre emblématique du réalisme socialiste, et des différentes facettes qu'elle renvoie sur l'histoire du xxe siècle et notre façon de l'appréhender.

Philosophers and cognitive scientists reassess systematicity in the post-connectionist era, offering perspectives from ecological psychology, embodied and distributed cognition, enactivism, and other ...methodologies.
In 1988, Jerry Fodor and Zenon Pylyshyn challenged connectionist theorists to explain the systematicity of cognition. In a highly influential critical analysis of connectionism, they argued that connectionist explanations, at best, can only inform us about details of the neural substrate; explanations at the cognitive level must be classical insofar as adult human cognition is essentially systematic. More than twenty-five years later, however, conflicting explanations of cognition do not divide along classicist-connectionist lines, but oppose cognitivism (both classicist and connectionist) with a range of other methodologies, including distributed and embodied cognition, ecological psychology, enactivism, adaptive behavior, and biologically based neural network theory. This volume reassesses Fodor and Pylyshyn's “systematicity challenge” for a post-connectionist era.
The contributors consider such questions as how post-connectionist approaches meet Fodor and Pylyshyn's conceptual challenges; whether there is empirical evidence for or against the systematicity of thought; and how the systematicity of human thought relates to behavior. The chapters offer a representative sample and an overview of the most important recent developments in the systematicity debate.

How does God think? How, ideally, does a human mind function? Must a gap remain between these two paradigms of rationality? Such questions exercised the greatest ancient philosophers, including those ...featured in this book: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics and Plotinus. This volume encompasses a series of studies by leading scholars, revisiting key moments of ancient philosophy and highlighting the theme of human and divine rationality in both moral and cognitive psychology. It is a tribute to Professor A. A. Long, and reflects multiple themes of his own work.
Purakayastha and Pandit present a posthumanist deconstruction of anthropocentrism in critical theory and in the disciplinary dispensation of humanities and social sciences. Using a number of sources ...and ideas from continental philosophy, especially the notion of "auto-reject," they call for a new materialist eco-sophical study that can decenter the human-oriented thinking in everyday life and in academia and help place the questions of environment and the animal in meaningful ways.
According to Arthur Redding, The hugely violent upheavals ... of the twentieth century ... might best be understood as massive efforts to 'homogenize' populations ... by exiling or exterminating ...undesirable elements, ensuring that the nation and its territories be composed of people who are 'just like us,' who 'share our values,' or at least can be bribed or compelled to. First and foremost, Carrie's "out of place"-ness has everything to do with her embodiment of abjection, a concept closely tied to Douglas's theories on pollution behaviors.3 In her highly influential essay Powers of Horror (1982), Julia Kristeva defines the abject as that which "disturbs identity, system, order. The gibe "Carrie White eats shit" thus in fact paints Carrie as doubly abject, as it not only mockingly accuses her of ingesting bodily waste, already abject in itself, but also confounds the traditional functions of two distinct bodily orifices. ...Carrie's extremely public failure to keep her menstrual blood contained within the body breaks social taboos and undoubtedly contributes to her demarcation as an abject figure, further isolating her from her peers. (231) Struggling to cope with this unexpected new station in life, Carrie finds herself haunted by both disorienting bodily change and increased social pressures, both of which threaten to further fragment her already fragile self-construction. ...as she already inhabits a space between "heaven and earth" as a tabooed menstruating woman (Delaney, Lupton, and Toth 29), as well as a space between the natural and the supernatural as a human born with telekinetic abilities, Carrie's haunted adolescence only re-emphasizes her embodiment of an uncanny figure caught betwixt several different dichotomies.
George Gershwin lived with purpose and gusto, but with melancholy as well, for he was unable to make a place for himself--no family of his own and no real home in music._x000B__x000B_He and his ...siblings received little love from their mother and no direction from their father. Older brother and lyricist Ira managed to create a home when he married Leonore Strunsky, a hard-edged woman who lived for wealth and status. The closest George came to domesticity was through his longtime relationship with Kay Swift. She was his lover, musical confidante, and fellow composer. But she remained married to another man while he went endlessly from woman to woman. Only in the final hours of his life, when they were separated by a continent, did he realize how much he needed her. Fatally ill, unprotected by (and perhaps estranged from) Ira, he was exiled by Leonore from the house she and the brothers shared, and he died horribly and alone at the age of thirty-eight._x000B__x000B_Nor was Gershwin able to find a satisfying musical harbor. For years his songwriting genius could be expressed only in the ephemeral world of show business, as his brilliance as a composer of large-scale works went unrecognized by highbrow music critics. When he resolved this quandary with his opera Porgy and Bess, the critics were unable to understand or validate it. Decades would pass before this, his most ambitious composition, was universally regarded as one of music's lasting treasures and before his stature as a great composer became secure. _x000B__x000B_In George Gershwin: An Intimate Portrait, Walter Rimler makes use of fresh sources, including newly discovered letters by Kay Swift as well as correspondence between and interviews with intimates of Ira and Leonore Gershwin. It is written with spirited prose and contains more than two dozen photographs.
In this collection of seventeen essays gathered from a symposium on children's literature held at the University of Maine in Le Mans, France (12-14 June 2013), Prince and Servoise fuse two ...problematic categories of literary theory: the concept study of characterization on the one hand, and the concept study of mythology on the other....as part of this generic reconfiguration, how do children benefit from becoming acquainted with such mythical figures and stories, and what are the writers' intentions in rewriting them?The section closes with Agathe Salha's reading of Nathaniel Hawthorne's A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys (1851), in which myths are refashioned as new sources of fantasy and wonder for children and embedded within national American landscapes as part of their "naturalization" (65).
This book explores American medical relief to Spain and China in the 1930s and 1940s as responses to the Spanish Civil War and the Second Sino-Japanese War. Although serving vastly different peoples ...in strikingly distant landscapes, the three aid organizations focused on here illustrate a transition in how Americans responded to foreign conflict and how humanitarian aid was used as a political tool. The story of these small and relatively unknown organizations can help refine historical understanding of the development of humanitarianism and the evolution of global citizenship in the twentieth century.
