D'une écriture à l'autre: Les femmes et la traduction sous l'Ancien Régime
Author: Jean-Philippe Beaulieu
La quinzaine detudes qui composent ce collectif proposent un ensemble de reflexions sur le role joue par la traduction dans lacces des femmes aux lettres et, plus largement, a lunivers culturel de lAncien Regime francais. Signees par des specialistes nord-americains et europeens, ces etudes nous font decouvrir ou redecouvrir, entre autres, des femmes telles que Christine de Pizan, Marguerite Porete, Jeanne de la Font, Anne de Graville, Marie de Cotteblanche, Susanna Centlivre, Sophie de Grouchy ou Betje Wolff. Pratique souvent autodidacte, la traduction est apparue aux femmes de la periode etudiee comme une voie privilegiee pour parfaire leur connaissance des langues et des litteratures anciennes ou etrangeres. Outre un exercice de formation, la traduction a ete aussi pour elles un moyen de diffusion de leurs propres ecrits a travers des pratiques de reecriture auxquelles dautres auteurs, scripteurs ou traducteurs ont juge bon de soumettre leurs textes. Debordant lactivite de traduction proprement dite, cet ouvrage jette un eclairage original sur des phenomenes de traduction et de transfert culturel, dont les femmes sont a la fois le sujet et lobjet. Envisagee sous cet angle, la translation revele lampleur de ses enjeux pour toute une frange de la population qui, a partir du XVIe siecle surtout, cherche a faire entendre sa voix sur la scene publique. Les etudes reunis ici montrent a quel point, depuis le Moyen Age jusqua lepoque de la modernite, les voies par lesquelles la traduction a permis aux femmes de participer a la vie culturelle sont multiples et souvent indirectes. Sans pretendre epuiser le sujet, dailleurs peu etudie jusquici mais qui suscite un interet grandissant, ce recueil propose un ensemble riche et varie dobservations a la fois porteuses de considerations pertinentes pour le present et riches en pistes pour lavenir.

LAZY,
160592
Author: Alexandra Brewis and Amber Wutich
Stigma is a dehumanizing process, a method of shaming and blaming that is embedded in our beliefs about who does and does not have value within society. In Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting, medical anthropologists Alexandra Brewis and Amber Wutich explore another side of the issue: the startling fact that well-intentioned public health campaigns can create new and sometimes damaging stigma, even when they are successful. Brewis and Wutich present a novel, synthetic argument about how stigmas act as a massive driver of global disease and suffering, killing or sickening billions every year. They focus on three of the most complex, difficult-to-fix global health efforts: bringing sanitation to all, treating mental illness, and preventing obesity. They explain how and why humans so readily stigmatize, how this derails ongoing public health efforts, and why this process invariably hurts people who are already at risk. They also explore how new stigmas enter global health so easily and consider why destigmatization is so very difficult. Finally, the book offers potential solutions that may be able to prevent, challenge, and fix stigma. Stigma elimination, Brewis and Wutich conclude, must be recognized as a necessary and core component of all global health efforts. Drawing on the authors' keen observations and decades of fieldwork, Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting combines a wide array of ethnographic evidence from around the globe to demonstrate conclusively how stigma undermines global health's basic goals to create both health and justice.

ROMAN
160966
Author: Orrin N. C. Wang
Romantic Sobriety explores the relationship among Romanticism, deconstruction, and Marxism by examining tropes of sensation and sobriety in a set of exemplary texts from Romantic literature and contemporary literary theory. Orrin N. C. Wang explains how themes of sensation and sobriety, along with Marxist-related ideas of revolution and commodification, set the terms of narrative surrounding the history of Romanticism as a movement. The book is both polemical and critical, engaging in debates with modern thinkers such as Paul de Man, Jacques Derrida, Walter Benn Michaels, and Slavoj Zizek, as well as presenting fresh readings of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century writers, including Wordsworth, Kant, Shelley, Byron, Bronte, and Keats. Wang first explores the meta-critical nature of Romantic periodization through the literary images of sensation and sobriety. He next investigates what he terms a Romantic sensation of meaning that actively structures contemporary discourse of the postmodern left. Wang follows with an exposition of how different forms of sensation and their repudiation operate in a set of second-generation Romantic and early Victorian writings. Romantic Sobriety combines deeply complex, close readings with a broader reflection on Romanticism and its implications on literary study. It will interest scholars who study Romanticism from a number of perspectives, including those interested in bodily and social consumption, the roles of addiction and abstinence in literature, the connection between literary and visual culture, the intersection of critical theory and Romanticism, and the relationships among language, historical knowledge, and political practice.

Author: Mark Gerard Hengesbaugh
From flying squirrels on high wooded plateaus to hanging gardens in redrock canyons, the Intermountain West is home to some of the world's rarest and most fascinating animals and plants. Creatures of Habitat details many unique but little-known talents of this region's strange and wonderful wild inhabitants and descibes their connections with native environments. For example, readers will learn about the pronghorn antelope's supercharged cardiovascular system, a brine shrimp-powered shorebird that each year flies nonstop from the Great Salt Lake to Central Argentina, and a rare mustard plant recently discovered on Mount Ogden. Emphasizing how increasing loss and degradation of habitat hinders native species' survival, Mark Gerard Hengesbaugh discusses what is happening to wildlife and wild places and what is being done about it. Well illustrated, this book has habitat maps, pen-and-ink illustrations, and fifty photos of wildlife and wild places selected by photo editor Dan Miller. Also included are guides to wildlife viewing and lists of Utah species, including those considered sensitive, threatened, or endangered.

SACRA
161749
Author: Margaret Y. MacDonald
No two works in the Pauline Epistles resemble each other as closely as Colossians and Ephesians. Often recognized for their majestic tone and powerful theological statement, Colossians and Ephesians also present many challenges of interpretation. Most commentaries on these letters seem preoccupied with the same few issues, particularly the question of authorship. As MacDonald addresses these classic questions, she offers a fresh perspective on Colossians and Ephesians by making use of insights from the social sciences. Moreover, by paying attention to subtle differences between the two letters, she brings their distinct perspectives into sharp relief.MacDonald highlights the interplay between Colossians and Ephesians and the social life of New Testament communities. She illustrates how the texts reflect ancient cultural values and are influenced by particular aspects of community life such as worship and household existence. In particular, she reflects on the issues faced by these communities as they formed institutions and interacted with the society around them. She shows the struggles of the New Testament communities to survive and maintain a distinct identity in first-century society.Margaret Y. MacDonald is a professor in the department of religious studies at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia. She and Carolyn Osiek have coauthored (with Janet H. Tulloch) A Women's Place: House Churches in Earliest Christianity (Fortress, 2006). Her research has been supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

MENTA
162911
Author: Kourken Michaelian
In this book, Kourken Michaelian builds on research in the psychology of memory to develop an innovative philosophical account of the nature of remembering and memory knowledge. Current philosophical approaches to memory rest on assumptions that are incompatible with the rich body of theory and data coming from psychology. Michaelian argues that abandoning those assumptions will result in a radically new philosophical understanding of memory. His novel, integrated account of episodic memory, memory knowledge, and their evolution makes a significant step in that direction. Michaelian situates episodic memory as a form of mental time travel and outlines a naturalistic framework for understanding it. Drawing on research in constructive memory, he develops an innovative simulation theory of memory; finding no intrinsic difference between remembering and imagining, he argues that to remember is to imagine the past. He investigates the reliability of simulational memory, focusing on the adaptivity of the constructive processes involved in remembering and the role of metacognitive monitoring; and he outlines an account of the evolution of episodic memory, distinguishing it from the forms of episodic-like memory demonstrated in animals.Memory research has become increasingly interdisciplinary. Michaelian's account, built systematically on the findings of empirical research, not only draws out the implications of these findings for philosophical theories of remembering but also offers psychologists a framework for making sense of provocative experimental results on mental time travel.
