Sommario/riassunto

Les chroniques de langage publiées dans les journaux restent toujours un témoignage précieux pour un historien de la langue. Celles qui sont accueillies, depuis bientôt une dizaine d'années, dans la rubrique Le bon français dans «Le Figaro», tracent une image vivante et passionnée du français actuel. Plusieurs auteurs décrivent, critiquent et corrigent  les faits de langue que l'usage impose. Leurs «billets d'humeur», souvent pleins d'humour et d'ironie, instruisent et amusent. A travers les observations relatives à la langue,  l'image de la société contemporaine se laisse percevoir, dessinée

Sommario/riassunto

Shakespeare in Singapore provides the first detailed and sustained study of the role of Shakespeare in Singaporean theatre, education, and culture. This book tracks the role and development of Shakespeare in education from the founding of modern Singapore to the present day, drawing on sources such as government and school records, the entire span of Singapore's newspaper archives, playbills, interviews with educators and theatre professionals, and existing academic sources. By



uniting the critical interest in Singaporean theatre with the substantial body of scholarship that concerns global Shakespeare, the author overs a broad, yet in-depth, exploration of the ways in which Singaporean approaches to Shakespeare have been shaped by, and respond to, cultural work going on elsewhere in Asia. A vital read for all students and scholars of Shakespeare, Shakespeare in Singapore offers a unique examination of the cultural impact of Shakespeare, beyond its usual footing in the Western world.

Sommario/riassunto

What is the object of comedy? What makes us laugh and why? Is comedy subversive, restorative or reparative? What is at stake politically, socially and metaphysically when it comes to comedic performances? This book investigates not only the object of comedy but also its objectives - both its deliberate goals and its unintended side effects. In researching the object of comedy, the contributions gathered here encounter comedy as a philosophical object: instead of approaching comedy as a genre, the book engages with it as a language, a medium, an artifice, a weapon, a puzzle or a trouble, a vocation and a repetition. Thus philosophy meets comedy at the intersection of various fields (e.g. psychoanalysis, film studies, cultural studies, and performance studies) -regions that comical practices and theories in fact already traverse.
