Résumé : Les derniers jours d'une relation amoureuse sur le point de sombrer sont relatés à travers ses non-dits, ses doutes et ses regrets.

Résumé : L'instrument vocal est situé dans le corps tout entier. Sans un corps d'aplomb, on ne peut pas bien émettre. L'art du chant exige que l'homme extérieur soit absorbé dans l'homme intérieur, là ou se produit le prodige de la voix chantée. Ce livre propose des solutions radicales pour régler tous les éléments atteints : respiration, cordes vocales, larynx, synergie entre souffle et son...

Résumé : In this sophisticated, accessible, and invaluable work, Pearson (Univ. of Liverpool, UK) explores the transformation of dog and human lives in modern Western urban spaces. Comparing the “globally significant metropolises” (p. 2) of London, New York, and Paris from the 19th century to the 1930s, Pearson points to the experiences and emotions negotiated in the creation of “dogopolis”: a city of dogs with defined roles, discrete lives, distinct boundaries, and unique relationships to human counterparts. This is a history of growing intimacy and of discipline and killing on an enormous scale. Pearson considers behaviors—straying, biting, suffering, thinking, and defecating—and the ensuing human emotional responses in eponymous chapters. Chapter 5 (“Defecating”) is a scholarly triumph, showing that only after these cities had done much to remove animals, waste, and dirt from their streets did a once insignificant nuisance—to use a contemporary nicety for dog shit—become a grave concern. Importantly, Pearson knows dogopolis was “a provincial rather than a universal manifestation of human-canine relatedness” (p. 5). Specialists will relish almost 50 pages of notes and a welcome methodological essay on animals, history, and emotions. Suitable for courses on modern urban history.
