Older Sister. Not Necessarily Related.: A Memoir
Par Jenny Heijun Wills. 2019
Winner of the 2019 Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for NonfictionA beautiful and haunting memoir of kinship and culture rediscovered.Jenny…
Heijun Wills was born in Korea and adopted as an infant into a white family in small-town Canada. In her late twenties, she reconnected with her first family and returned to Seoul where she spent four months getting to know other adoptees, as well as her Korean mother, father, siblings, and extended family. At the guesthouse for transnational adoptees where she lived, alliances were troubled by violence and fraught with the trauma of separation and of cultural illiteracy. Unsurprisingly, heartbreakingly, Wills found that her nascent relationships with her family were similarly fraught. Ten years later, Wills sustains close ties with her Korean family. Her Korean parents and her younger sister attended her wedding in Montreal, and that same sister now lives in Canada. Remarkably, meeting Jenny caused her birth parents to reunite after having been estranged since her adoption. Little by little, Jenny Heijun Wills is learning and relearning her stories and those of her biological kin, piecing together a fragmented life into something resembling a whole.Delving into gender, class, racial, and ethnic complexities, as well as into the complex relationships between Korean women--sisters, mothers and daughters, grandmothers and grandchildren, aunts and nieces--Older Sister. Not Necessarily Related. describes in visceral, lyrical prose the painful ripple effects that follow a child's removal from a family, and the rewards that can flow from both struggle and forgiveness.La loi de la jungle: l'agressivité chez les plantes, les animaux, les humains
Par Jean-Marie Pelt. 2003
"Compétition pour la lumière dans la forêt où les arbres les plus chétifs meurent étouffés par les plus forts ;…
conquête massive de territoires par de redoutables envahisseurs ; déploiement d'armes chimiques sophistiquées : les plantes ont mille manières de se faire la guerre. Mais nul ne dirige ces entreprises belliqueuses, car les plantes sont un monde sans chef. Les animaux s'affrontent pour la nourriture, le territoire, le partenaire sexuel, la protection des petits. Mais, à travers l'évolution, la nature a inventé d'habiles stratagèmes visant à réguler leur agressivité ; on les voit se mettre en place et se perfectionner chez les poissons, les oiseaux et même les loups. Ils échouent malheureusement chez les rats... et chez les humains. En effet, nous sommes loin de nos cousins les Bonobos, ces grands singes qui, fidèles au slogan de mai 1968, font l'amour mais pas la guerre. Les humains ont tenté de tout temps de maîtriser leur agressivité qui menace si dramatiquement notre espèce, mobilisant à cette fin les philosophies, les religions, la psychologie, la sociologie. Force est de constater qu'ils n'y sont point parvenus. Y parviendront-ils et comment ? Peut-être en s'inspirant des modèles que nous offre la nature... " -- 4e de couvHeroes for my son
