La chanson est au cœur de la pensée littéraire du XIXe siècle : de Chateaubriand à Verlaine en passant par Lamartine, Stendhal, Hugo, Musset, Michelet, Flaubert et Rimbaud, toute la littérature en parle. Populaire, politique, proche et inatteignable, celle qui a tant fasciné reste pourtant trop mal connue et rarement étudiée, considérée souvent et par beaucoup comme un genre mineur. Expression |

privilégiée de l’affectivité la plus intime mais aussi d’enjeux plus collectifs, la chanson dite « populaire » au XIXe siècle est au centre de cette étude très documentée dont le corpus est essentiellement composé de chansons à thématiques sociales ou politiques, en prise avec l’actualité. Au-delà du prolifique Béranger – célèbre chansonnier français qui connut un large succès dans la première partie du XIXe siècle et dont beaucoup aujourd’hui ne connaissent que le nom – qui l’écrit, qui la chante, quels sont ses enjeux, quelles sont ses formes, quels sont ses thèmes ? Ce livre a une triple ambition : offrir la première approche textuelle minutieuse de la chanson française du XIXe siècle, montrer comment se construit et s’affirme, au cours de la première moitié du siècle, l’idée même de chanson populaire devenue si commune de nos jours, et exploiter un corpus méconnu d’une rare richesse. Songs play a key role in 19th-century literary thinking: Chateaubriand, Lamartine, Stendhal, Hugo, Musset, Michelet, Flaubert, Rimbaud, Verlaine: every famous French author wrote about them. Expressions of daily life as well as political writings, be it familiar or hard to grasp, songs remain a fascinating yet understudied subject. This is partly due to their commonly acknowledged status as minor artistic productions. Yet, songs were an essential form of expression of both intimate and collective issues. This study, based on a large set of archival documents, focuses on 19th-century “popular” songs, mainly through social and political songs inspired by contemporary events. Apart from the… |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
At the heart of evolution lies a bewildering paradox. Natural selection favors above all the individual that leaves the most offspring-a superorganism of sorts that Jonathan Silvertown here calls the "Darwinian demon." But if such a demon existed, this highly successful organism would populate the entire world with its own kind, beating out other species and eventually extinguishing biodiversity as we know it. Why then, if evolution favors this demon, is the world filled with so many different life forms? What keeps this Darwinian demon in check? If humankind is now the greatest threat to biodiversity on the planet, have we become the Darwinian demon? Demons in Eden considers these questions using the latest scientific discoveries from the plant world. Readers join Silvertown as he explores the astonishing diversity of plant life in regions as spectacular as the verdant climes of Japan, the lush grounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, the shallow |

wetlands and teeming freshwaters of Florida, the tropical rainforests of southeast Mexico, and the Canary Islands archipelago, whose evolutionary novelties-and exotic plant life-have earned it the sobriquet "the Galapagos of botany." Along the way, Silvertown looks closely at the evolution of plant diversity in these locales and explains why such variety persists in light of ecological patterns and evolutionary processes. In novel and useful ways, he also investigates the current state of plant diversity on the planet to show the ever-challenging threats posed by invasive species and humans. Bringing the secret life of plants into more colorful and vivid focus than ever before, Demons in Eden is an empathic and impassioned exploration of modern plant ecology that unlocks evolutionary mysteries of the natural world. |
