Une oeuvre de fiction peut-elle etre vraie? C'est ce que de
nombreux auteurs du dix-huitieme siecle ont pretendu dans les
prefaces de leurs romans. Il est communement admis que cette
revendication tente de deguiser la fictionnalite de la fiction, et
de tromper le lecteur dans le but de lui faire prendre une illusion
pour une verite. Dans cet ouvrage, Herman, Kozul et Kremer
examinent d'un oeil neuf ce point de vue, et analysent tout un
eventail de prefaces sous deux perspectives: semantique et
pragmatique. La lecture semantique developpe celle de G. May dans
son etude pionniere, Le Dilemme du roman (1963), et situe la
preface ainsi que sa pretention a la verite a l'interieur du recit
fictionnel lui-meme, ou elle joue son role dans cette supercherie
dont le lecteur est la cible. L'approche pragmatique, cependant,
mene a une lecture absolument nouvelle de ces pretentions
prefacielles, et revele comment elles soulignent la fictionnalite
du roman. Les auteurs avancent l'argument que cette declaration qui
nous est si familiere 'ceci n'est pas un roman', sert a legitimer
l'artifice du roman, et a etablir une sorte de pacte de complicite
avec le lecteur. Herman, Kozul et Kremer nous permettent de voir
d'une facon entierement neuve l'ecriture et la lecture de la
fiction au dix-huitieme siecle. Ils explorent les problemes de
legitimation et d'accreditation qui caracterisent non seulement les
prefaces des romans, mais aussi bien d'autres discours de la
premiere modernite.
A fascinating look at the role of the media in fostering
nationalism, with a comparative approach that shows the
interactions between American, Russian and German nationalism.
Extreme nationalism is a subject of enormous contemporary
significance today. Does patriotic pride inevitably develop into
nationalistic aggression? Is this exacerbated by the global
outreach of the media? And what is the relationship between
mainstream politics and increasingly vocal far-right groups in
Britain, the US, Germany and Russia? This book addresses these
questions from a variety of angles, exploring topics ranging from
the War on Terror to Holocaust denial, from the 'sanctity' of
Rasputin to the 'martyrdom' of Rudolf Hess.
L'abbe Lenglet-Dufresnoy a publie de son vivant deux essais
consacres a l'esthetique romanesque: De l'usage des romans,
communement percu comme un plaidoyer en faveur du roman, et
L'Histoire justifiee contre les romans, a premiere vue un rejet des
theses de l'ouvrage precedent. La decouverte de deux manuscrits
autographes de Lenglet-Dufresnoy, les Observations critiques de M.
le C. Gordon de Percel sur son livre 'De l'usage des romans' et De
l'utilite des romans: seconde partie, remet en question cette
interpretation et eclaire de facon inattendue une etape cruciale de
l'histoire du roman francais. Dans cette premiere edition
integrale, Jan Herman et Jacques Cormier presentent les fondements
d'une reflexion qui permet d'observer l'interaction entre les
differents modeles romanesques de 1660 a 1750. Dans la premiere
partie du volume, ils exposent le contexte polemique dans lequel
s'inscrivent les idees de Lenglet-Dufresnoy. Examinant et
confrontant un grand nombre de textes theoriques avec lesquels les
manuscrits entrent en dialogue, J. Herman et J. Cormier saisissent
sur le vif les mouvances d'une pensee qui nait dans l'ecriture
meme. La seconde partie de l'ouvrage comporte les manuscrits
eux-memes, accompagnes de variantes textuelles et de notes
explicatives. L'etude des manuscrits revele en effet plusieurs
strates d'elaboration, dont l'apparat critique permet d'entrevoir
la superposition, strates auxquelles viennent s'ajouter
interpolations et corrections. J. Herman et J. Cormier devoilent
dans l'ensemble du texte comment Lenglet-Dufresnoy articule une
dialectique entre discours theorique et pratique romanesque.
La construction du recit en tant que verite est l'ambition
essentielle du roman du dix-huitieme siecle. Mais dans quelle
mesure les mots sur la page cachent-ils ou, au contraire,
revelent-ils la genese de l'histoire qu'ils pretendent representer?
Telle est la question que J.Herman aborde en regardant sous la
surface du recit pour explorer les traces de ses origines. Faisant
appel a des theories de l'ecriture allant de Platon a Derrida et a
Genette, J.Herman offre une facon entierement neuve de lire les
romans-memoires. Il montre comment les textes utilisant cette forme
narrative reactivent des questions sur les rapports de l'ecriture
avec la verite et avec la memoire. Se concentrant sur le motif
recurrent de l'enfant trouve, sollicite a la fois en tant que theme
et en tant que metaphore pour le texte lui-meme, J.Herman explore
la maniere dont les romans utilisent cette figure pour representer
leur propre quete de legitimite et de reconnaissance. Apres une
exposition fouillee de ses concepts theoriques, l'auteur apporte
une analyse systematique de plusieurs romans d'importance majeure
dus a des ecrivains allant de Marivaux et de Prevost a Laclos et a
Potocki, a travers laquelle il offre une nouvelle methode de
dechiffrement rhetorique du roman au dix-huitieme siecle.

On May 21-24, 1997 the Second International Symposium on Algorithms for Macromolecular Modelling was held at the Konrad Zuse Zentrum in Berlin. The event brought together computational scientists in fields like biochemistry, biophysics, physical chemistry, or statistical physics and numerical analysts as well as computer scientists working on the advancement of algorithms, for a total of over 120 participants from 19 countries. In the course of the symposium, the speakers agreed to produce a representative volume that combines survey articles and original papers (all refereed) to give an impression of the present state of the art of Molecular Dynamics.The 29 articles of the book reflect the main topics of the Berlin meeting which were i) Conformational Dynamics, ii) Thermodynamic Modelling, iii) Advanced Time-Stepping Algorithms, iv) Quantum-Classical Simulations and Fast Force Field and v) Fast Force Field Evaluation.
This is a study of the growth of the right wing in a reunited
Germany. Since the end of the Cold War, an explosion of xenophobia
and attacks on foreigners - some of them asylum-seekers - has
attracted world-wide media attention. Coming after the seemingly
miraculous celebration of freedom accompanying the fall of the
Berlin Wall and the country's reunification, these events have
caused acute anxiety within Germany itself. These phenomena are not
exclusive to Germany, but their undertones of Nazism have prompted
the question: how could this happen in a country that had so firmly
repudiated its past and rightly prided itself on its anti-fascism
and liberal democracy? The author sets this development in its
historical context, showing the long-established continuity of
right-wing influence and power in German conservative politics, and
he explores the effects of the end of the Cold War on German
society and politics. He also examines the growth of xenophobia and
right-wing attitudes in the former GDR since the implosion of
communism. Germany's current position as a regional super-power and
its contribution to European economic progress, make this text a
significant and topical contribution.
Does patriotic pride inevitably develop into nationalistic
aggression? Is this exacerbated by the global outreach of the
media? And what is the relationship between mainstream politics and
increasingly vocal anti-immigrant and far-right groups? This book
tackles these thorny questions, from Europe, the US and post-Soviet
Russia, to probe the overlaps between national and racial pride,
propaganda, political power and the press. Its findings explore
diverse topics ranging from the 'War on Terror' to Holocaust
denial, from the 'sanctity' of Rasputin to the 'martyrdom' of
Rudolf Hess. It gives vital insight into the way the press can be
used to propagate nationalist agendas and how old myths can gain
new currency through modern forms of media.
The films of William Wyler (1902-1981) include some of the most
memorable and honored motion pictures of all time Jezebel, The
Letter, The Little Foxes, The Best Years of Our Lives, The Heiress,
Detective Story, Roman Holiday, Ben-Hur, Funny Girl, and more than
two dozen others. His great ability to conceal his directorial
presence in order to better serve his material, coupled with the
variety of genres in which he excelled, have earned his films 127
Academy Award nominations, winning Wyler three best-director
Oscars. Based on his previously undiscovered papers, and hundreds
of interviews, this perceptive, spellbinding biography reveals both
the director and the private man in startling close-ups as he lived
his turbulent life at a bit more than twenty-four frames per
second.
