Contrairement à ce que laissent régulièrement entendre les discours journalistiques sur l’introduction du numérique au sein des établissements culturels et patrimoniaux, débats, projets et expérimentations sur l’équipement informatique des institutions culturelles agitent les professionnels depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années. Ainsi, pour s’adresser à leurs différents publics, monuments, musées, archives et bibliothèques ont aujourd’hui massivement investi la communication en ligne par l’intermédiaire des sites web et des réseaux sociaux numériques. Cette appropriation de plus en plus manifeste par les professionnels de la culture des technologies numériques et des pratiques de dissémination de contenus sur des plateformes en ligne prend place dans un écosystème médiatique qui se voit redéfini par la circulation des contenus multimédiatiques et par l’activité en ligne des usagers qui réagissent, prennent la parole et produisent des contenus. Entre concurrence attentionnelle et reconfiguration des prises de parole, les pratiques de valorisation des patrimoines sont ainsi massivement influencées par ces évolutions techniques et culturelles. En donnant la parole à des scientifiques comme à des acteurs et professionnels de terrain, cet ouvrage se concentre sur les pratiques transmédiatiques que génère l’environnement numérique dans lequel nous interagissons et communiquons.

Covering key developments in bibliography and publishing, from the history of writing and paper manufacture to the origins of typefaces and printing up to the 1940s.Bibliography and Modern Book Production is a fascinating historic journey through the fields of print history, librarianship and publishing. It covers key developments from 1494 to 1949 in bibliography and book production from the history of scripts and paper manufacture to the origins of typefaces and printing. Although not a textbook, the book was a guide for library students in the 1950s on the essential literature of librarianship. As the first librarian appointed to Wits University in 1929, Percy Freer’s near encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject of bibliography enabled him to develop a key resource for relevant library examinations in South Africa and abroad. Due to its immense value as a historic record, and to acknowledge Freer’s contributions as scholar, librarian and publisher, it is being reissued as part of the Wits University Press Re/Presents series to make it accessible to scholars in book histories, publishing studies and information science.Introduction by Veronica Klipp Acknowledgments Foreword Introductory Note Addenda PART 1.

Gen-X author and Oldster Magazine/Memoir Land editor Sari Botton reads her celebrated memoir, "And You May Find Yourself...", about finding yourself later in life—after first getting lost in all the wrong places. As Botton discovers, the wrong places famously include her own self-suppression and misguided efforts to please others (mostly men). In a series of candid, reflective, sometimes humorous essays, Botton describes coming to feminism and self-actualization as an older person; second (and third and fourth) chances; and how maybe it's never too late to find your way...assuming you're lucky enough to live long. "In her edgy, tender, witty way, Sari Botton has written a book for any woman who ever contorted herself to fit culturally imposed ideals, in other words, all of us. In witnessing the ways Sari has fought and failed and flourished, in the poignancy and laughter, there is deep wisdom and an abundance of spirit."—Beverly Donofrio, author of "Riding in Cars with Boys""A fresh and humorous meditation on the trials and tribulations of a smart Gen-X young woman who tries to extricate herself from a straitlaced suburban upbringing to become a cool, East Village girl, only to keep falling for the wrong man, the wrong therapist, and the wrong job... until she doesn't. Botton's hilarious and self-aware pages on dating all the wrong men recall some of Candace Bushnell's original Sex and the City essays and Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones' Diary." —Catherine Texier, author of "Breakup""A humanizing, humble, and hard look at a life. Investigative journalism of the soul. Sari Botton's And You May Find Yourself is like the older sister of My Misspent Youth by Meghan Daum. You will absolutely find yourself in this intelligent, clever, and clear-hearted book."—Chloe Caldwell, author of "The Red Zone: A Love Story"

This multi-authored volume offers a deep dive into the history, sociology, and politics of the oldest South African university press.In 2022 Wits University Press marked its centenary, making it the oldest university press in sub-Saharan Africa. While in part modelled on scholarly publishers from the global North, it has had to contend with the constraints of working under global South conditions: marginalisation within the university, budgetary limitations, small local markets, unequal access to international distribution and sales channels, and the privileging of English language publishing over indigenous languages. This volume showcases the history and achievements of the Press: from documenting its evolution through book covers and giving credence to some of the leading black intellectuals and writers of the early 20th century and the success of their works in spite of their authors’ racial marginalisation, to the role of women both in publishing and in the spaces afforded to women’s writing on the Press’s list. The collection concludes with author essays on the politics and experiences of choosing and working with a global South publisher. The collection shows the strategies deployed by the Press to professionalise Southern knowledge making and how local university presses support the scholarly mission of their universities for local and global audiences.Figures Acknowledgements Introduction: Experiments in Writing the History of a University Press – Sarah Nuttall and Isabel Hofmeyr Part 1 Covers and Contracts Chapter 1 Uncovered: One Hundred Years of Book Covers – Kirsten Perkins and Corina van der Spoel Chapter 2 Relations, Contracts, and Books at Wits University Press: 1922–1962 – Jonathan Klaaren Part 2 Southern Contradictions and Black Contributors Chapter 3 B.

The episode traces the history of a single word, serendipity, across seven centuries and just as many countries. A "serendipity" is a "happy and unexpected discovery", and the history of the word is itself full of happy and unexpected discoveries, including the history of horror and the origins of crime fiction. Along the way, we meet such fascinating figures as Edgar Allan Poe, the English writer Horace Walpole, the French philosopher Voltaire, and the Sufi poet Amir Khusrau.Hosted and written by Sophus HelleSound editing by Simone Nystrup-LarsenEdited by Andreas Lindinger SaxildFind out more at sophushelle.com/monkeymindMonkey Mind Combining wit and wisdom, silliness and seriousness, the podcast Monkey Mind by Sophus Helle takes the audience on a weekly jaunt through the jungle of the mind.

SONGS OF THE SOUL Original Writings of Paramhansa Yogananda Paramhansa Yogananda is best known for his Autobiography of a Yogi, a book that he said the Lord Himself commissioned him to write, in response to a silent call among many souls for a “practical religion” that would enable them to know the Divinity that dwells in their own hearts and souls. Those who met Yogananda were overwhelmed by the magnetic power of his love. Saints and sages recognized him as one of their own. Sri Ananda Moyi Ma, Ramana Maharshi, Sri Rama Yogi, and Mahatma Gandhi—these and many other great souls perceived in him an avatar, God incarnated with the power to redeem not only a few close disciples but a vast flock who would be transformed by his divine ray. “As a bright light shining in the midst of darkness, so was Yogananda’s presence in this world. Such a great soul comes on earth only rarely, when there is a real need among men.” – The Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram, spiritual leader of millions of Hindus. Though divinely tasked with bringing a practical teaching, Yogananda preferred to express his wisdom not in dry intellectual terms but as pure, expansive feeling. To drink his poetry is to be drawn into the web of his boundless, childlike love. Nor was his vision limited to this earthly plane – in one moment his Songs of the Soul invite us to join him as he plays among the stars with his Cosmic Beloved. Then they call us to discover that portion of our own hearts that is eternally one with the Nearest and Dearest. Like his famous Whispers From Eternity, this volume is a bubbling, singing wellspring of spiritual healing that we can bring with us everywhere.

Throughout the history of film, censorship has existed everywhere—in all shapes, colours, and dimensions. The act of restricting the free production, circulation, screening, and consumption of movies was never unique to authoritarian regimes. Censorship has had far-reaching implications for filmmakers, distributors, exhibitors, and audiences across generations and across genres, including the self-censorship of audiences disciplined into particular viewership positions. Today, soft and hard censorship coexist in ever-more fluid forms; the banning, regulating, trimming, and tailoring of films for ‘harmless’ consumption all exemplify wider debates about access to media. This companion brings together contemporary and historical views on censorship, covering Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The book considers Hollywood’s practices and the United States’ legislative context as important frames of reference for the study of filmed entertainment censorship, be they concerned with obscene materials or plain mainstream movie fare. American cinema remains a wider compass, as evidenced by how studies in this companion, which deal with local and regional censorship, appear to have American movies as their targets. This volume showcases the broad international scope of censorship through detailed examinations of censorship practices. The diversity of case studies is an indication of the global reach of censorship—nothing can escape its grasp. Ultimately, the censorship of screen access is a struggle for power and control; this book demonstrates how intense this struggle can become, and how compromises and solutions are found.Cinema, Screen Media and Censorship: An Introduction Daniel Biltereyst and Ernest Mathijs DOI:10.47788/RSDL4520 1. ‘Forestalling Controversy’: The Production Code Administration and the Mediation of Political Censorship Richard Maltby DOI:10.47788/AJXR2557 2.

Si vous pensez que tous les auteurs maîtrisent la langue française, qu’ils écrivent plusieurs heures par jour en enchaînant les tasses de café, et qu’ils manient l’art de la communication comme personne, vous vous trompez. Écrire ne rend ni sage ni charismatique. Ancrés dans leurs habitudes, que ce soit devant leurs textes ou sur les réseaux sociaux, les auteurs sont tous dotés d’un petit côté « à la noix » : spammeur, donneur de leçons, perfectionniste, profiteur… La liste s’allonge et ne s’arrête pas là ; un peu comme les genres littéraires. Quand on écoute trop son ego, on en perd ses (bons) mots… Quelles sont les idées reçues, développées par les auteurs eux-mêmes ? Comment gommer son côté « à la noix » pour devenir un meilleur auteur ? Découvrez des citations motivantes et des anecdotes qui vous dévoileront, avec humour, les coulisses de la vie d’auteur.

"The Elements of Style is an American English writing style guide in numerous editions. The original was written by William Strunk Jr. in 1918, and it was published by Harcourt in 1920, comprising eight "elementary rules of usage," ten "elementary principles of composition," "a few matters of form," a list of 49 "words and expressions commonly misused," and a list of 57 "words often misspelled." Strunk concentrated on the cultivation of good writing and composition; the original 1918 edition exhorted writers to "omit needless words," use the active voice, and employ parallelism appropriately."

He and his friend Du Fu (712–770) were two of the most prominent figures in the flourishing of Chinese poetry under the Tang dynasty, which is often called the "Golden Age of Chinese Poetry". The expression "Three Wonders" denotes Li Bai's poetry, Pei Min's swordplay, and Zhang Xu's calligraphy. - From the wiki
