Par-Delà le Mental
Author: Bernard De MontréalPublisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450297463
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Par-delà le Mental introduit le lecteur à l'étude de la psychologie évolutionnaire. Bernard de Montréal entreprend d'explorer les implications du supramental, portant sur l'inexorable éveil de la conscience mentale et sur son déplacement de la primauté de l'intellect et de ses fonctions historiques, à titre de source principale d'intelligence et de savoir. Cette oeuvre fondamentale met en exergue les eff ets de la pollution de la pensée sur le mental et les dangers de la séduction psychique, telle qu'exercée pas les idéologies sectaires et l'occultisme. Sa redéfi nition du mental opère la transition psychique de l'involution à l'évolution, de l'intellect et du libre arbitre inconscients à la pensée créative réelle ; de la spiritualité naïve et de la croyance à la conscience mentale, et de l'âme à l'esprit.

Author: Ursula Mathis-MoserPublisher: University of Alberta
ISBN: 1772125075
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
This collection of essays examines how the sense of crisis that occasionally seems to overwhelm us directs and transforms Canadian and Quebec writings in English and French, and conversely, how literature and criticism set out to counterbalance the social, economic, and ideological insecurities we live in. Ce recueil de textes étudie les manières dont le sentiment de crise qui peut parfois sembler nous submerger, oriente et transforme les écrits canadiens et québécois d’expressions anglaise et française, et inversement, comment la littérature et la critique s’efforcent de contrebalancer les insécurités sociales, économiques et idéologiques dans lesquelles nous vivons.

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
In 17th and 18th century Europe, folding fans were important, socially-coded fashion accessories. In the course of the 18th century, painted and printed fan leaves displayed an increasing variety of visual motifs and artistic subject matter, while many of them also addressed contemporary political and social topics. This book studies the visual and material diversity of fans from an interdisciplinary perspective. The individual essays analyze fans in the context of the fine and applied arts, discussing the role of fans in cultures of communication and examining them as souvenir objects and vehicles for political and social messages.

The present volume looks at the relation between travel writing and cultural memory from a variety of perspectives, ranging from theoretical concerns with genres and conventions to detailed analyses of single texts. As befits the topic, the contributions roam far and wide, both geographically and historically. Some detail early Portuguese voyages of discovery, particularly to the East. Others depict encounters between Early, and not so early, Modern Western travelers and their Other interlocutors. Still others focus on travel writings as literature. Voyages and voyaging in literature form the subject of the last category of essays gathered here. Amongst the authors discussed are Fernão Mendes Pinto, Jean de Sponde, Furtado de Mendonça, Sor Juana Inéz de la Cruz, Elsa Morante, Ingeborg Bachmann, Sophia Andresen, Paul Claudel, Graham Greene, Valéry Larbaud, David Mourão-Ferreira, J.M.G. le Clézio, José Saramago, Michel Leiris, and Claude Lévi-Strauss. The volume concludes with an essay by the French-Lebanese author Salah Stétié.
Politics of Pasts and Futures in (Post-)Imperial Contexts
Author: Sebastian FahnerPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3111232654
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
Although empires have played a decisive role in political thinking and the orientation of political goals at all times, the focus of research has so far mostly been on spatial and ideological aspects. This volume, on the other hand, offers a multi-disciplinary collection of studies that deal with the instrumentalization and ongoing impacts of perspectives on empire and their place in time. Coming from archaeology, history, art history, literary studies, and social sciences, the individual case studies discuss perceptions of imperial histories and imagined futures of empires, both in imperial and in post-imperial contexts. The transcending historical significance of the imperial ideas and ideals shows the deep and long-lasting effects of empire in landscapes, mindscapes, and social structures. The diachronic cut through all epochs from antiquity to modern times is complemented by a broad global view to deepen the temporal understanding of imperial imaginaries as well as their political implications.
