by edited with introductions by Penelope Rosemont (1998)

About this book

This anthology, the first of its kind in any language, displays the range and significance of women's contributions to surrealism. Letting surrealist women speak for themselves, Penelope Rosemont has assembled nearly three hundred texts by ninety-seven women from twenty-eight countries in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and the African diaspora. Their works include poems, tales, dreams, essays of radical social criticism, inquiries into psychoanalysis, critical approaches to philosophical as well as topical problems, celebrations of the work of particular poets and painters, and several examples of surrealist games.

Cover of Gender and art

Gender and art

Gill Perry

"Gender and Art is the third of six books in the series Art and its Histories, which form the main texts of an Open University course. The course has been designed for students who are new to the discipline but will also appeal to those who have undertaken some study in this area. This third volume examines the role of gender difference in the production, consumption and interpretation of works of art. Encompassing European art, architecture and design from the sixteenth century to the present day, it explores both the work of women artists and the ways that visual representation by male and female artists may be gendered."--BOOK JACKET.

Stop talking, start doing action book

Shaa Wasmund

"A motivational kick in the pants to get the most out of your life Have you got an itch? To start your own business, go to the North Pole, retrain, lose weight, get promoted, learn to play the ukulele? Or do you just have a nagging sense that there must be more to life? If there is something you really want to do, but secretly fear you'll never do it then you need this book. The original Stop Talking Start Doing helped readers to move from talking to doing. To climb into the ring and face their fears about making their thing happen. It helped readers to understand why they had fears and why starting was easier than they thought. It encouraged them to start somewhere, anywhere. The Stop Talking Start Doing Action Book will help you to identify where or what that starting point should be, and how to build from there to make your thing happen. It will help you to evaluate why you have procrastinated until now and identify the small steps you need to take to make it happen. But it will help you to plan beyond that. It will help you see how you can execute your idea through small, simple steps that are right for you, rather than one undefined, daunting task. Find sources of inspiration that work for you and learn how you can draw upon them as you go, draw confidence from previous experiences, and find the self-?? discipline you need to make swift decisions along the way. Identify your personal starting point Take the first steps to set your plan into motion Find your inspiration and self-discipline Build confidence in your quick decisions along the way "-- "Motivation is a perennial selling topic and activity books are proving highly popular at the moment. This topic combined with a guide to practical action planning will appeal across these markets"--

Freud, l'antisémitisme et la langue-mère

Sabine Raillard

La langue des Hébreux, le pouvoir évocateur des images araméennes, intraduisibles dans la langue-culture grecque, auraient gardé pour l'Occident judéo-chrétien, la force surdéterminante de la langue-mère de l'origine. Pourquoi le discours Race et Culture, prononcé par Claude Lévi-Strauss à l'Unesco en 1971, fit-il un tel scandale ? regard rapproché visant à investiguer la place de la phylogenèses dans la langue maternelle au regard de la langue étrangère
