Remy Charlip: Histoire de performance dans l’album pour enfants
No full textInternational audienceThis paper explores how dancer and choreographer Remy Charlip used his dance performances as an inspiration to illustrate children’s picture books. Working along with John Cage and Merce Cunningham, he was involved in various artistic fields. He was a dancer, both an author and an illustrator of picture books, as well as a costume designer. His picture books were deeply influenced by dance and his choreographic process was stimulated by his design practices. His performances on stage were important sources of inspiration for his visual storytelling for children. Books were also used as “visual scores” to enhance his dance creations. In his artistic practice, both dance and picture books are attempts to translate a child’s energy and an exploration of spatial and graphic possibilities.Cet article vise à explorer comment le danseur et chorégraphe Remy Charlip a utilisé son expérience de la performance comme source d’inspiration pour illustrer ses albums pour enfants. Ayant collaboré avec John Cage et Merce Cunningham, il s’est investi dans multiples domaines artistiques que ce soit la dance, l’écriture et l’illustration de livres ainsi que la création de costumes. La danse et son écriture chorégraphique ont eu une telle influence sur ses albums que certains sont comparables à des “partitions visuelles”. La danse et les albums ont constitué des tentatives pour traduire l’énergie enfantine tout comme ils ont révélé des explorations graphiques dans le monde de cet artiste total
Organizational Factors and Office Workers’ Health After the World Trade Center Terrorist Attacks: Long-Term Physical Symptoms, Psychological Distress, and Work Productivity
No full textObjective: To assess if organizational factors are predictors of workers' health and productivity after the World Trade Center attacks.Methods: We conducted a survey of 750 workers and compared those who had direct exposures to the World Trade Center attacks (south of Canal Street workers; primary victims) with those less directly exposed (north of Canal Street workers; other victims and non-victims).Results: South of Canal Street workers reported headache more frequently than north of Canal Street workers did (P = 0.0202). Primary victims reported headache and cough more frequently than did other victims and non-victims (P = 0.0086 and 0.0043, respectively). Defensive organizational culture was an independent predictor of cough and job stress, and job stress was an independent predictor of on-the-job productivity losses.Conclusion: Organizational variables may modify health and productivity outcomes after a large-scale traumatic event in the workplace.This research was supported in part by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Grant 5 R21 OH007713-02, and the NIEHS sponsored UMDNJ Center for Environmental Exposures and Disease, Grant NIEHS P30ES005022.This is a non-final version of an article published in final form in Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (50(2):112-25, 2008 Feb) a publication of Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins.

Samuel Richardson’s Views of Women in Pamela
No full textPamela is the first epistolary novel by Samuel Richardson, a masterpiece of sentimentalist literature. This paper mainly attempts to analyze Samuel Richardson’s views of women based on the image of Pamela. The paper begins with introducing the life experience and literary career of Samuel Richardson, and the situation in which Richardson created Pamela. And then, it discusses traditional virtues, such as chastity, diligence and modesty embodied in Pamela. These virtues are the base of rewards of women in society. Then the present author focuses on self-pursuit of Pamela as a modern woman who does not depend on men and make livings on their own, and comes to the conclusion that, on the one hand, Richardson praises traditional virtues of women; on the other hand, he expects women to get independence from men, which is contradictory part of Richardson’ views of women
Traces du gothique anglo-saxon dans Les Autres (2001) d’Alejandro Amenábar et Fragile (2005) de Jaume Balagueró
No full textThe article sets out to examine the ways in which the films The Others (2001)by Alejandro Amenábar and Fragile (2005) by Jaume Balagueró take their inspiration from Anglo-Saxon Gothic tradition. We will analyse how the fantastic elements of these two ghost stories are based on the transposition of emblematic themes of the English Gothic literary genre in which the dwelling is the locus. The themes of isolation, the vertiginous aspect of the architecture, and the labyrinthine organisation of the setting are transposed to define the dramatisation of the haunted space while the use of darkness and veiling create visual uncertaintyEste artículo se propone analizar de qué manera las películas Los otros (2001)de Alejandro Amenábar y Frágiles (2005) de Jaume Balagueró se inscriben en la herencia gótica anglosajona. Analizaremos cómo lo fantástico de ambas historias de fantasmas se nutre de la transposición de temas emblemáticos del “gótico» literario inglés, dentro de los cuales, la mansión es el hilo conductor. Los temas del aislamiento, del aspecto vertiginoso de la arquitectura y de la organización laberíntica del lugar se utilizan para crear la dramatización del espacio encantado mientras la oscuridad y el velo se emplean como estrategia de la indeterminación visua
Le néogothique de Notre-Dame de Paris de Victor Hugo à L’invention de Hugo Cabret de Brian Selznick : le livre comme outil du voir
No full textInternational audienceVictor Hugo’s Hunchback of Notre‑Dame (1831) and Brian Selznick’s Invention of Hugo Cabret (2007) were written almost two centuries apart from each other. However, both explore the book as a technical object by using Neo-Gothic elements. From the cathedral to printing techniques, from the train station to movies, the book is both a novel and a seeing tool. This paper aims at showing how a children’s novel renews the tradition of a classic illustrated novel. In both novels, darkness is a texture that helps to capture the past and experiential memory. The book serves as a panoramic locus where some pictures haunt others through ghostly traces.Publiés à presque deux siècles d’écart, Notre-Dame de Paris (1831) de Victor Hugo et L’Invention de Hugo Cabret (2007) partagent un discours néogothique au cœur même du livre. De la cathédrale à l’imprimerie, de la gare au cinéma, le livre est à la fois une lecture et un outil du voir. La présente étude propose une rencontre inédite entre ces deux romans, montrant comment un roman jeunesse prolonge la tradition d’un grand roman illustré, à bien des égards. Les teintes sombres composent une texture qui rend compte du passé et d’une expérience mémorielle. Le livre se déploie sous la forme d’une « mise en site » tandis que l’empreinte picturale agit comme une trace fantôme

Morality of Pamela and Richardson
No full textMany of the objections to Samuel Richardson's Pamela: or Virtue Rewarded have come about because of its alleged middle-class morality. Responsibility for the early propagation of this idea can be traced to Henry Fielding's brilliant satire of the work, Shamela. The purpose of this paper is to examine both the morality of Pamela and its most influential criticism in light of the purpose of the book and the personality of its author. Also examined is the effect of the epistolary form of writing on the clarity of Richardson's ideas. Samuel Richardson wrote Pamela as an example of the value of moral behavior. Believing in the direct intervention of God, Richardson felt that virtuous actions led to success on earth as well as in heaven. Much of his justification for this theory came from his own experience. Richardson was already a successful printer when he undertook the writing of his first novel. That success, he felt, came through honest business practices and the resultant help of God.
Richardson's novel was certainly liable to the criticism of Fielding, but to make a satiric point the intended emphasis of Pamela was changed to show Pamela as a calculating female instead of an example of virtue. A close examination of Richardson's work reveals that he did espouse middle-class values; but those values were not necessarily detrimental to the purpose of his writing

Perfecting Pamela: Samuel Richardson\u27s Final Revisions to his Earliest Novel
No full textThis author details Richardson’s revision process as he edits his first novel Pamela as the last thing he does before dying. There are three chapters detailing Richardson’s motives behind revising his first novel and his actual revision process, which included three main techniques—substitution, addition, and deletion. Motives considered and argued were: moral purpose and criticism received from others—especially analyzing Shamela, a satire of Pamela—which undermines the morality that Richardson had hoped Pamela accomplished. At the end of the essay, there is an extensive chart complied by the author, spanning a total of 55 pages, of all of Richardson’s revisions as well
