La Sacralisation littéraire et picturale de la montagne au XIXe siècle : (re)naissances et épiphanies by Françoise Dupeyron-Lafay

“…We shall see the various—and sometimes complementary and converging—approaches to mountains from the late 18th century on: those emphasizing their pristine, Edenic nature; those extolling their power, sublimity and elemental violence, Turner’s paintings being emblematic in this respect : and those bringing out their divine essence, their sacred and holy quality. The corpus will mainly pertain to the latter category and through the study of Novalis, De Quincey, Ruskin, and Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings, we shall discover stories of birth and rebirth, regeneration and redemption. …”

Les Dépravés de Dieu by Romain Simenel

“…This article begins with an analysis of a celibacy-treatment ritual practiced in many regions in southwest Morocco (a ritual that allows the “youth” category to be defined from the angle of both gender relations and religious relations) and then develops a more general study of representations linked to male youth—particularly as they relate to “licit” life and divine judgement. It is then demonstrated that in southern Morocco, from the religious point of view, men are “born twice”. …”

Paradigm shifters: tricksters and cultural science by Hartley John

The role of the ‘Go-Between’ is considered, both in the anthropological figure of the Trickster (Hyde 1998) and in the Schumpeterian entrepreneur. …”

Usages et limites de la violence de guerre à la haute époque hellénistique by Isabelle Pimouguet-Pédarros

“…The aim is therefore not only to consider the situations in which these acts occur, but also to highlight the vocabulary associated with them, likely to reflect the crossing of a moral boundary, or even an infringement of the rules governing man’s relationship with the divine. From this point of view, Polybios’ writings are particularly interesting in that they raise the question of a possible redefinition of the uses and limits of war violence in the Hellenistic period.…”

Early Modern Exemplars: Reading Strategies and the Assertion of Readerly Identity and Authority in the Life-writing of Mary Ward, Dionys Fitzherbert and Elizabeth Isham by Martin Thompson

“…This article combines close readings with material analysis of three female-authored autobiographical manuscripts to suggest that, contrary to Western, Protestant and masculine assumptions, these pious seventeenth-century women perceived of themselves primarily not only as authors but readers of their own divinely-authored life stories. Focusing primarily on the paratexts attached to life narratives of Mary Ward (1585-1645), Dionys Fitzherbert (c.1580-c.1642) and Elizabeth Isham (1609-1654), it identifies – across the Reformation confessional divide – common semantic and grammatical patterns which demonstrate that these texts advocated and illustrated particular reading strategies that encouraged their audiences too to see their own lives as texts to be read. …”
