Les petits maîtres du burlesque américain

Autor: Jean-jacques Couderc

Número de Páginas: 712

Zigoto, Beaucitron, Picratt, Calouchon, Dudule... Autant de sobriquets inconnus du grand public, malgré leurs cocasses et alléchantes connotations. C'est qu'ils dissimulent nombre de comédiens américains de talent qui ont considérablement diverti nos parents et grands-parents, mais qui sont restés souvent dans l'ombre des Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton et autres Harold Lloyd. Il y a là une injustice notoire que Jean-Jacques Couderc s'est donné pour tâche de réparer. Consacré à ces comiques oubliés ou peu connus du cinéma muet américain, ce livre retrace tout d'abord leurs vies agitées et souvent trop courtes d'étoiles mélancoliquement filantes au firmament du burlesque. Pour chacun d'eux, il fallait impérativement sauver de l'oubli quelques séquences, réalistes ou loufoques, géniales ou démodées, grotesques ou subtiles, dans tous les cas débordantes de drôlerie, d'imagination ou de fantaisie et les replacer dans leur contexte. Et certes, la lecture de leurs biographies et des scénarios de leurs films et courts-métrages, poétiques ou rocambolesques, suscite en nous autant de gaieté que d'étonnement incrédule. Par ailleurs, cet ouvrage de référence...

Diaspora and Identity

Autor: Mieko Nishida

Número de Páginas: 314

São Paulo, Brazil, holds the largest number of Japanese descendants outside Japan, and they have been there for six generations. Japanese immigration to Brazil started in 1908 to replace European immigrants to work in São Paulo’s expanding coffee industry. It peaked in the late 1920s and early 1930s as anti-Japanese sentiment grew in Brazil. Approximately 189,000 Japanese entered Brazil by 1942 in mandatory family units. After the war, prewar immigrants and their descendants became quickly concentrated in São Paulo City. Immigration from Japan resumed in 1952, and by 1993 some 54,000 immigrants arrived in Brazil. By 1980, the majority of Japanese Brazilians had joined the urban middle class and many had been mixed racially. In the mid-1980s, Japanese Brazilians’ “return” labor migrations to Japan began on a large scale. More than 310,000 Brazilian citizens were residing in Japan in June 2008, when the centenary of Japanese immigration was widely celebrated in Brazil. The story does not end there. The global recession that started in 2008 soon forced unemployed Brazilians in Japan and their Japanese-born children to return to Brazil. Based on her research in Brazil and...

The Portuguese in India and Other Studies, 1500-1700

Autor: A.r. Disney

Número de Páginas: 355

The studies brought together in this volume were published over the last thirty years and are concerned, directly or indirectly, with the Portuguese presence in India between about 1500 and 1650. They have been arranged into four groups of which the first, 'The Portuguese in India', includes pieces on the changing character of the empire in India, Goa in the 17th century, the Portuguese India Company of 1628-33, smugglers, the great famine of the early 1630s and the ceremonial induction process for new viceroys. A second group focuses on the life, career and background of the count of Linhares, before, during and after his term as viceroy at Goa. The third group consists of studies on travel and communications between India and Portugal, both by sea and by land. The collection concludes with studies under the heading of 'historiography and problems of interpretation', on Charles Boxer as a biographer, and on Vasco da Gama's reputation for violence.

Autor: Dominique Auzias , Jean-paul Labourdette

Número de Páginas: 466

Petit pays lusophone, le Cap Vert n'est plus la destination confidentielle qu'elle était il y a quelques années. Popularisé par Cesaria Evora qui le chante si bien, cet archipel de l'océan Atlantique, à quelque 450 km des côtes du Sénégal, a en effet beaucoup à offrir : des paysages à la teinte ocre et brûlée, des volcans actifs ou non pour les trekkeurs, des plages de sable blanc ou noir qui s'arc-boutent dans des eaux turquoises, une architecture issue de la période coloniale portugaise à Mindelo à São Vicente ou São Filipe a Fogo, un climat chaud et ensoleillé... C'est ce kaléidoscope d'ambiances et de paysages que le Petit Futé vous fait découvrir à travers une édition entièrement consacré à l'archipel.
