Drawing on an impressive construction of ingenuity and mastery, the author builds a bridge across the Atlantic, between America and Ireland, from the 19th century to the present day. Blending history and fiction, a dizzying fresco of haunting beauty. In Dublin in 1845, seventeen-year-old servant Lily Duggan meets the gaze of Frederick Douglass, the Dark Dandy, the runaway slave, the first to bear witness to the absolute horror in his memoirs. That day, Lily understands that she must change her life and embarks for the New World, thus changing her destiny and that of her descendants, over four generations. In Dublin, 150 years later, Hannah, his great-granddaughter, tries to draw from the story of her ancestors the strength to survive loss and loneliness. "This is what interests Colum McCann: at the heart of violence, lives lived in spite of everything; these invisible skeins that intertwine places, times and characters; this way the past has of resurfacing in the strangest way possible."

Title : Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality - Sigmund Freud - book Summary : "Given the widespread nature of sexual inclinations, the idea came to us that the predisposition to perversions was the original and universal predisposition of the human sexual drive, from which normal sexual behavior developed in the course of maturation under the influence of organic changes and psychic inhibitions. We hoped to identify the original predisposition in childhood; among the forces that delimit the orientation of the sexual drive, we highlighted modesty, disgust, compassion, and the social constructions of morality and authority. Thus, we were led to see in every fixed deviation from normal sexual life a degree of developmental inhibition and infantilism." Sigmund Freud.

Title : Working with Bourdieu - Rose-Marie Lagrave - book Summary They are sociologists, historians, anthropologists, linguists, economists... Some are fellow travelers, others have been close to Bourdieu, at one time or another. All bear witness to an experience of working with him in the double sense of the term: working together and theory in action that continues to regenerate scientific approaches and practices. Hence the diversity of contributions but also the singularity of the tone of this work, unclassifiable according to current academic rules: from the account of a fragment of life, passing through the anecdotal trait, to the analysis of theoretical and methodological contributions, all registers intersect, attesting that working with Bourdieu has not calibrated thought or ways of doing things. These different positions and objects reveal new facets and readings of Bourdieu, which concern as much reflexivity, the logic of practice, classifications as the economy of symbolic goods and forms of domination. In many contributions, the emotion of memory also emerges, through modest touches, a sort of reminder of the sensitive conditions of scientific production, often passed over in silence and yet which are part of the daily life of the researcher. If one had to speak of homage, it is an anti-academic homage that the authors of this book wanted to pay to the author of Homo academicus.
