Author: Paul Pelckmans File Type: pdf Les Lumieres amorcent brillamment la plupart de nos ideologies modernes. Elles se delectent en meme temps dune production romanesque devenue largement illisible puisque desservie par un pathetique aussi outrancier que stereotype. Ce pathetique envahit aussi le theatre et impregne dabondantes correspondances. La verve critique des Philosophes fait ainsi bon menage avec un esprit de serieux sentimental, auquel meme Voltaire, si doue pour saisir au premier coup dil le ridicule de tous engouements, sacrifie au long dune vingtaine de tragedies. Reputees aujourdhui injouables, elles auront ete au cur de sa popularite depoque. Il y a la une maniere de scandale, ou du moins de paradoxe irritant. Lacces de mauvais gout le plus impardonnable de toute la litterature francaise (ce qui nest pas peu dire) se trouve etre le fait de ceux qui auront fonde aussi par ailleurs ou du meme mouvement, cest selon notre monde moderne. Il simpose donc de chercher a comprendre, a defaut de pouvoir encore les partager, les delices de la sensibilite. Le present recueil y tache pour sa part en relisant ce corpus devenu indigeste devant lhorizon des mentalites. Paul Pelckmans (1953) est professeur de litterature francaise et generale a lUniversite dAnvers. Recherches sur le roman dAncien Regime. Auteur de plusieurs monographies, dont Cleveland ou limpossible proximite (Amsterdam, Rodopi, 2002) et Le probleme de lincroyance au XVIIIe siecle (Quebec, CIERL, 2010).

Author: Lawrence J. Vale File Type: pdf The building and management of public housing is often seen as a signal failure of American public policy, but this is a vastly oversimplified view. InPurging the Poorest, Lawrence J. Vale offers a new narrative of the seventy-five-year struggle to house the deserving poor. In the 1930s, two iconic American cities, Atlanta and Chicago, demolished their slums and established some of this countrys first public housing. Six decades later, these same cities also led the way in clearing public housing itself. Vales groundbreaking history of these twice-cleared communities provides unprecedented detail about the development, decline, and redevelopment of two of Americas most famous housing projects Chicagos Cabrini-Green and Atlantas Techwood Clark Howell Homes. Vale offers the novel concept ofdesign politicsto show how issues of architecture and urbanism are intimately bound up in thinking about policy. Drawing from extensive archival research and in-depth interviews, Vale recalibrates the larger cultural role of public housing, revalues the contributions of public housing residents, and reconsiders the role of design and designers. **
