De l'Antiquite aux tortures americaines en Irak, en passant par l'Inquisition, les supplices chinois, la guerre d'Algerie, les dictateurs sud americains, sovietiques, chinois..., la torture est une constante de l'humanite. Mais pourquoi? Pourquoi cette constance? Pourquoi meme les democraties ? Pourquoi des hommes ordinaires? La torture persiste malgre son interdiction mondiale, malgre les conventions internationales, malgre les inspections de l'ONU. Ne serait-elle pas necessaire, en definitive? Rien qu'un peu, evidemment? A titre exceptionnel? Juste pour les crimes les plus graves? Juste pour le terrorisme? Juste pour... Mais l'histoire de la torture n'est jamais qu'une longue liste d'exceptions, concedees, la main sur le coeur, pour le plus grand bien de l'humanite. Alors pourquoi? Des facteurs politiques? Ideologiques? Individuels? En definitive, la torture ne participe-t-elle pas a cette vaste et permanente entreprise de demolition de l'homme dont parle Primo Levi? Une machine de guerre, minutieuse et perverse, tournee par l'homme contre son essence-meme. Inutile d'argumenter. Le combat ne peut etre qu'absolu, la condamnation categorique. Et pour ce combat, sans concession, il faut connaitre son adversaire, notre part sombre d'humanite.

Torture is not as universally condemned as it once was. From Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib prisons to the death of Giulio Regeni, countless recent cases have shocked public opinion. But if we want to defend the human dignity that torture violates, simple indignation is not enough. In this important book, Donatella Di Cesare provides a critical perspective on torture in all its dimensions. She seeks to capture the peculiarity of an extreme and methodical violence where the tormentor calculates and measures out pain so that he can hold off the victim’s death, allowing him to continue to exercise his sovereign power. For the victim, being tortured is like experiencing his own death while he is still alive. Torture is a threat wherever the defenceless find themselves in the hands of the strong: in prisons, in migrant camps, in nursing homes, in centres for the disabled and in institutions for minors. This impassioned book will appeal to students and scholars of philosophy and political theory as well as to anyone committed to defending human rights as universal and inviolable.

Women Writing Antiquity written by Helena Taylor and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2024-04-30 with Literary Criticism categories.
Women Writing Antiquity argues that the struggle to define the female intellectual in seventeenth-century France lay at the centre of a broader struggle over the definition of literature and literary knowledge during a time of significant cultural change. As the female intellectual became a figure of debate, France was also undergoing a shift away from the dominance of classical cultural models, the transition towards a standardized modern language, the development of a national literature and literary canon, and the emergence of the literary field. This book explores the intersection of these phenomena, analyzing how a range of women constructed the female intellectual through their reception of Greco-Roman culture. Women Writing Antiquity offers readings of known and less familiar works from a diverse corpus of translators, novelists, poets, linguists, playwrights, essayists, and fairy tale writers, including Marie de Gournay, Madeleine de Scud?ry, Madame de Villedieu, Antoinette Deshouli?res, Marie-Jeanne L'H?ritier, and Anne Dacier. Challenging traditionally formalist and source-text orientated approaches, the study reframes classical reception in terms of authorial self-fashioning and professional strategy, and explores the symbolic value of Latin literacy to an author's projected identity. These writers used reception of Greco-Roman culture to negotiate the value attributed to different genres, the nature of poetics, the legitimacy of varied modes of authorship, the qualities and properties of French, and even how and by whom these topics might be debated. Women Writing Antiquity combines a new take on the literary history of the period with a retelling of the history of the figure of the 'learned woman'.

In recent scholarly work, T.S. Eliot has usually been associated with cultural elitism and political conservatism, or even with proto-fascism and anti-Semitism. This book proposes a different view. During the Interbellum, Eliot and his review The Criterion were part of an international network of intellectuals that shared an open-minded Europeanness. Authors like T. Mann, Benda, Ortega y Gasset, Curtius and Hofmannsthal emphasized their common European roots and shared cultural legacy. Their 'classicism' stands in the European tradition of humanism and has remained highly relevant. Classicist ideas about literature, education and human culture in general continue to inspire contemporary humanist thinkers, as the second part of this book demonstrates by discussing the work of Ferry, Todorov, Steiner, Scruton, Toulmin and others.

Alors que la torture est proscrite parce qu'elle est cruelle et inhumaine, l'idée qu'elle peut fonctionner ressurgit régulièrement, pas seulement dans la tête de certains politiciens, officiers et policiers. Dans la culture populaire, telle qu'elle est véhiculée par de nombreux films et romans, la torture est régulièrement présentée comme une nécessité de dernier recours pour arracher aux personnes interrogées des secrets, souvent pour sauver des vies. Les agents de la CIA et autres interrogateurs se justifient ainsi quand ils recourent à la cruauté pour faire parler les suspects. Mais l'idée est fausse. Le cerveau sous stress ne fonctionne pas comme les tortureurs le supposent. Les résultats des neurosciences concernant nos réactions cérébrales face à la peur, aux températures extrêmes, à la privation de nourriture, d'eau ou de sommeil, et aux nombreux autres outils de torture sont bien établis. Ces stresseurs affectent la mémoire, l'humeur et la pensée au point de priver l'information obtenue de toute fiabilité. Les capacités cognitives de la personne torturée se trouvent si sévèrement réduites qu'elle ne peut même plus restituer ce qu'elle sait. O'Mara nous guide à travers les neurosciences de la souffrance et montre en détail qu'aucun argument en faveur de la torture ne résiste à l'examen scientifique. Pour qu'un interrogatoire soit efficace, il faut tenir compte du fonctionnement du cerveau et opter pour des techniques non-violentes proposées par les psychologues et neuroscientifiques.
