Cours de linguistique générale (Payothèque)
Par Ferdinand De Saussure. 1978
Le Cours de Saussure constitue un ouvrage clé pour quiconque s'intéresse au langage et aux langues ; il est considéré…
comme fondateur de la linguistique moderne. C'est là que se trouvent exprimés pour la première fois certains des concepts les plus féconds de la linguistique : oppositions binaires (langue/parole, signifiant/signifié, synchronie/diachronie), arbitraire du signe. Ces concepts seront largement affinés ou contestés, et nourriront la réflexion de générations de linguistes. Avec la reproduction de l'édition originale de 1916 établie par les élèves de Saussure d'après leurs notes, le lecteur trouvera un appareil critique complet dû à Tullio de Mauro, dont une biographie de Saussure et des notes. Les commentaires sont particulièrement instructifs, car ils font apparaître les violentes critiques qui ont suivi la publication du Cours, ainsi que l'influence considérable qu'il a exercée et continue d'exercer. Ce livre peut être lu sans connaissances préalables en linguistique.Big Brother: ma vie revue et corrigée par le FBI (Roman)

Looking for the enemy: Mullah Omar and the unknown Taliban
Par Bette Dam. 2021
"For twenty years, the Taliban was the number one enemy of Western forces in Afghanistan. But it was an enemy…
that they knew little about, and about whose founder and leader, Mullah Omar, they knew even less. Armed with only a fuzzy black-and-white photo of the man, investigative journalist Bette Dam decided to track down the reclusive Taliban chief a decade back. But in the course of what had seemed an almost impossible job, she got to know the Taliban inside out, realized how dangerously misinformed the global forces fighting it were, and made a startling discovery about the elusive Omar's whereabouts. The outcome of a five-year-long pursuit, Looking for the Enemy is a woman journalist's epic story that takes the reader deep into the dangerous mountains and war-ravaged valleys of Afghanistan as it throws up several unknowns about an organization that is now once again at the helm in one of the world's most fragile states." -- Provided by publisherThe view from Split Rock: a lighthouse keeper's life
Par Lee Radzak. 2021
Split Rock Lighthouse is a Minnesota icon: a handsome structure perched atop a cliff on Lake Superior's North Shore, gorgeous…
in every weather, a lonely outpost overlooking the vastness of the lake. Except that this lighthouse is not lonely. It's one of the state's most visited historic sites. In 1982, Lee Radzak and his wife, Jane, moved into the middle keeper's house at Split Rock Lighthouse, launching Lee's career as the site's resident manager. Over the next 36 years, they raised a family, marveled at the lake's beauty, endured gigantic storms, and answered the questions posed by more than four million visitorsHang on and fly: a post-war story of plane crash tragedies, heroism, and survival
Par Timothy W Lake. 2015
"Hang on and Fly: A Post-War Story of Plane Crash Tragedies, Heroism, and Survival. Passenger planes are crashing three and…
four times a month in 1951 just as Americans are beginning to fly. Then, a loaded plane disappears in the night and can't be found. Panic and frustration reach all the way to the White House. Twenty-six are killed in the most spectacular crash that no one heard on a mountain frosted with snow and fog. Fourteen survivors are the largest group of plane crash victims to be lost and stranded in North America. The stewardess holds a baby in her arms until it dies. They huddle beneath a parachute tent, arguing over food and how to get out. One commits a dastardly criminal act upon the dead. When rescuers don't arrive after 40 hours, a hero passenger stumbles out of the snow-filled woods to find help from a farmer's wife with a secret deadly threat of her own. Distracted by blazing headlines, crash tourists, and a federal probe, simple farm families are intertwined with urban crash survivors leading up to more tragedy on the plane crash mountain. Hang on and Fly is a dramatic tale of the most incredible year of aviation disasters that made Americans plane crash jumpy. Passengers in rope seat belts are eaten by sharks; a pilot with heart disease flies into a hill; three crashes close a major airport; a lost pilot mistakes Lake Ontario for the Atlantic. It's the origin of our belief that we're safest in the back of the plane. It's the beginning of modern plane crash investigations, inspired Hollywood's airplane disaster movie genre, and caused safety regulations we all take for granted today. Journalist Tim Lake tells the gripping story of America's first budget airlines as only he can. His family was there." -- Provided by publisherBingo night at the fire hall: the case for cows, orchards, bake sales, & fairs

Mythologies
Par Roland Barthes. 1970
Essais. Mythologies. Notre vie quotidienne se nourrit de mythes : le catch, le strip-tease, l'auto, la publicité, le tourisme... qui…
bientôt nous débordent. Isolés de l'actualité qui les fait naître, l'abus idéologique qu'ils recèlent apparaît soudain. Roland Barthes en rend compte ici avec le souci - formulé dans l'essai sur le mythe aujourd'hui qui clôt l'ouvrage - de réconcilier le réel et les hommes, la description et l'explication, l'objet et le savoir.. «Nous voguons sans cesse entre l'objet et sa démystification, impuissants à rendre sa totalité : car si nous pénétrons l'objet, nous le libérons mais nous le détruisons ; et si nous lui laissons son poids, nous le respectons, mais nous le restituons encore mystifié.» Roland Barthes.Que transmettre à nos enfants?

Par Ronald J Daniels. 2021
"Universities have historically been integral to democracy. What can they do to reclaim this critical role? Universities play an indispensable…
role within modern democracies. But this role is often overlooked or too narrowly conceived, even by universities themselves. In What Universities Owe Democracy, Ronald J. Daniels, the president of Johns Hopkins University, argues that--at a moment when liberal democracy is endangered and more countries are heading toward autocracy than at any time in generations--it is critical for today's colleges and universities to reestablish their place in democracy. Drawing upon fields as varied as political science, economics, history, and sociology, Daniels identifies four distinct functions of American higher education that are key to liberal democracy: social mobility, citizenship education, the stewardship of facts, and the cultivation of pluralistic, diverse communities. By examining these roles over time, Daniels explains where colleges and universities have faltered in their execution of these functions--and what they can do going forward. Looking back on his decades of experience leading universities, Daniels offers bold prescriptions for how universities can act now to strengthen democracy. For those committed to democracy's future prospects, this book is a vital resource." -- Provided by publisherMélie quelque part au milieu
Par Mylène Goupil. 2022
- D’où je viens, il faut dire comme tout le monde ou bien se taire. Et ton père, ce n’est…
pas quelqu’un qui sait se taire. Ni quelqu’un qui aime dire comme tout le monde. Alors on a eu des ennuis.Pourtant, depuis qu’il est arrivé dans la vie de Mélie, se taire, c’est tout ce que son père sait faire. C’est que Sami, arrivé de loin, ne parle pas la même langue que sa fille et ne sait plus vivre en homme libre. Mélie devra l’apprivoiser, comme le chaton qu'elle a trouvé, et comme devront le faire monsieur Xavier et son amoureux avec la petite Mei-Li qu’ils viennent d’adopter. Décidément, les choses qui en valent la peine ne sont pas toujours faciles.Bienvenue dans la machine: enseigner à l'ère numérique (Collection Polémos)
