"Parisians are renowned the world over for their elegance and savoir-faire, but few are more urbane and savvy than the feline denizens of the City of Light. Cats have captivated the city's imagination for hundreds of years, inspiring writers as diverse as Chateaubriand, Baudelaire, and Colette. From dainty kittens peering from shop windows to mysterious tomcats slinking across rooftops. This is a collection of black and white photographs by master photographers of the twentieth century, accompanied by whimsical words of French intellectuals.".--front cover matter.
A Paris, tous les chats sont loin d'être gris... Ils se promènent entre les immeubles haussmanniens et les monuments phares de la capitale, délicatement dessinés par l'illustratrice Eve Grosset. Redécouvrez la ville lumière en suivant les traces (de pattes) des chats qui l'habitent !
Un chat peut en cacher un autre et n'est pas chat qui veut.Que l'on soit dans les sous-sols remplis de mystères de l'Opéra de Paris, sur la butte Montmartre avec ses peintres amateurs, en pleine partie d'un jeu de l'Oie géant, un parcours initiatique semé d'embûches ou sous les ponts de Venise en compagnie d un gamin jouant du violon de facon magistrale mais inquiétante. Qui est qui ? Quelle est la raison de telle ou telle decision toujours dramatique ?Tout au long de l'aventure, la musique classique joue un rôle crucial et vous entraîne dans un enchaînement de pas curieux, hors du temps mais endiablés.... Où l'on ne decouvre et ne comprend que sur le tard les règles de ce jeu littéraire, ou ne serait-ce seulement qu'un jeu de rôles? Nous sommes infiniment plus que ce que nous croyons être!!
Chat y es-tu ? Les minets parisiens ne sont pas faciles à débusquer tant ils aiment se cacher dans les recoins les plus secrets. Des allées du Père-Lachaise aux venelles de Montmartre en passant par les gouttières vertigineuses, mais aussi devant les cafés, aux abords des loges de concierge ou même dans les vitrines des vieilles boutiques, c'est au prix d'une véritable partie de chat perché qu'on peut espérer leur tirer le portrait. Les plus grands photographes ne s'y sont pas trompés, qui ont saisi au gré de leurs promenades les images attachantes des matous des toits ou des minous-lecteurs. Kertész, Brassaï, Doisneau, Ronis, Cartier-Bresson, Boubat, Izis, Janine Niepce ou Martine Franck, entre autres, signent les photos de cette anthologie empreinte d'une grâce toute féline.
How did the avant-garde imagine its interconnected world? And how does this legacy affect our understanding of the global today? The writers and artists of the French avant-garde aspired to reach a global audience that would be wholly transformed by their work. In this study, Effie Rentzou delves deep into their depictions of the interwar world as an international and modern landscape, one marked by a varied cosmopolitanism. The avant-garde’s conceptualization of the world paralleled, rejected, or expanded prevailing notions of the global sphere. The historical avant garde—which encompassed movements like futurism, Dada, and surrealism—was self-consciously international, operating across global networks and developed with the whole world as its horizon and its public. In the heady period between the end of the Belle Époque and the tumult of World War II, both individual artists (including Guillaume Apollinaire, Blaise Cendrars, Francis Picabia, Louis Aragon, Leonora Carrington, and Nicolas Calas) and collective endeavors (such as surrealist magazines and exhibitions) grappled with contemporary anxieties about economic growth, imperialism, and colonialism, as well as various universalist, cosmopolitan, and internationalist visions. By probing these works, Concepts of the World offers an alternative narrative of globalization, one that integrates the avant-garde’s enthusiasm for, as well as resistance to, the process. Rentzou identifies within the avant-garde a powerful political language that expressed the ambivalence of living and creating in an increasingly globalized world—a language that profoundly shaped the way the world has been conceptualized and is experienced today.

Medicine and Maladies explores the socio-political and medical contexts that inform depictions of affliction in nineteenth-century France. It asks how cultural representations appropriate, critique, or develop medical discourse, and how medical writings incorporate literary examples to illustrate scientific hypotheses.
Whether pampered pet or fiercely independent stray, cats are an essential part of the rich pattern of Parisian life. They have captured the imagination of the city for hundreds of years, providing lively subjects for photographers and inspiring writers as diverse as Baudelaire, Chateaubriand and Colette.

In Genius Envy, Adrianna M. Paliyenko uncovers a forgotten history: the multiplicity and diversity of nineteenth-century French women’s poetic voices. Conservative critics of the time attributed the phenomenon of genius to masculinity and dismissed the work of female authors as “feminine literature.” Despite the efforts of leading thinkers, critics, and literary historians to erase women from the pages of literary history, Paliyenko shows how these female poets invigorated the debate about the origins of genius and garnered considerable recognition in their time for their creativity and bold aesthetic ideas. This fresh account of French women poets’ contributions to literature probes the history of their critical reception. The result is an encounter with the texts of celebrated writers such as Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, Anaïs Ségalas, Malvina Blanchecotte, Louisa Siefert, and Louise Ackermann. Glimpses at the different stages of each poet’s career show that these women explicitly challenged the notion of genius as gender specific, thus advocating for their rightful place in the canon. A prodigious contribution to studies of nineteenth-century French poetry, Paliyenko’s book reexamines the reception of poetry by women within and beyond its original context. This balanced and comprehensive treatment of their work uncovers the multiple ways in which women poets sought to define their place in history.
