Blurring the line between prose poem sequence and the tiniest of postmodern novels, Christine Stroud's Sister Suite captures the emotional and narrative fragmentation emanated by grief.

An anthology of contemporary poetry and stories.

"I have written a manuscript based on my own experiences as a queer woman raised in the South and how these experiences affected my idea of gender expectations and sexuality. Instead of writing overtly political poems about the contemporary woman, I have written a series of poems that focus on specific instances. I want to explore a lifestyle, not make grand statements about gender or sexuality. I hope my collection of poems is subtly political, speaking to a new generation of changing perceptions, one where gender is more fluid, and sexuality less taboo. ..." -- from Introduction.

Un voyage fascinant à la découverte des concept cars légendaires de l'histoire de l'automobile, qui commence avec la Buick Y-Job des années 1930 et s'égrène ensuite dans le sillage des évolutions du design inspiré de l'industrie aérospatiale des années 1950.L'histoire des super cars se poursuit avec les lignes fuselées des années 1970 et se conclut avec les projets du nouveau millénaire, à la mesure des enjeux contemporains. Les concepteurs n'ont à leur disposition qu'une table à dessin, un crayon et une règle, mais le concept car, lui, ne voit le jour que lorsqu'un designer se débarrasse des contraintes des règles et commence à dessiner avec son imagination, le meilleur outil dont il dispose.Tous les concept cars ne se transforment pas en modèles de série. Un concept car peut offrir à un designer, mais aussi à un constructeur, une extraordinaire liberté artistique, affranchie des exigences de la praticabilité. Il peut servir de plateforme de test aux technologies d'ingénierie et de construction nouvelles. II peut démontrer que l'utilisation de carburants alternatifs plus propres et compatibles avec l'environnement ne restera pas lettre morte.Mais un concept car peut surtout nous permettre de rêver, d'espérer et de découvrir à l'avance la forme des automobiles de demain.

The emotions we experience are crucial to who we are, to what we think, and to what we do. But what are emotions, exactly, and how do they relate to agency? The aim of this book is to spell out an account of emotions, which is grounded on analogies between emotions and sensory experiences, and to explore the implications of this account for our understanding of human agency. The central claim is that emotions consist in perceptual experiences of values, such as the fearsome, the disgusting or the admirable. A virtue of this account is that it affords a better grasp of a variety of interconnected phenomena, such as motivation, values, responsibility and reason-responsiveness. In the process of exploring the implications of the Perceptual Theory of emotions, several claims are proposed. First, emotions normally involve desires that set goals, but they can be contemplative in that they can occur without any motivation. Second, evaluative judgements can be understood in terms of appropriate emotions in so far as appropriateness is taken to consist in correct representation. Third, by contrast with what Strawsonian theories hold, the concept of moral responsibility is not response-dependent, but the relationship between emotions and moral responsibility is mediated by values. Finally, in so far as emotions are perceptions of values, they can be considered to be perceptions of practical reasons, so that on certain conditions, acting on the basis of one's emotions can consist in responding to one's reasons.
