Baleine sous Gravillon - Nomen (l'origine des noms du Vivant)

Jument vient du latin jumentum “attelage” lui-même issu de jugum “joug”. Jument a donc à l'origine le sens de “bête de somme ou de trait”. Le sens de “femelle du cheval” n'est attesté que vers la fin du XIIe siècle. Jusqu'à la découverte des avantages de la castration, qui permet de changer les étalons en "hongres". Dans les régions où cette pratique de la castration est refusée culturellement, les juments étaient préférées aux chevaux mâles pour les besoins utilitaires et pour la guerre, en raison de leur docilité. Certains peuples comme les Bédouins donnaient la préférence aux juments pour leurs raids à cheval. D'autres cultures ont préféré les étalons par volonté d'avoir une bête plus combative, ou en raison de l'inconvénient principal de la jument, qui est la perte de son potentiel de travail en cas de chaleurs, de grossesse, ou de mise-bas. Contrairement au terme “étalon” qui peut s'appliquer à d'autres espèces comme les ânes, le terme “jument” est exclusivement réservé à l'espèce chevaline. En général, une pouliche devient jument à partir de 3 ans. En sport hippique, le terme s'applique uniquement aux animaux de plus de 4 ans. Jument se traduit par mare en anglais, Stute en allemand et llegua en espagnol. En irlandais et en écossais, le mot est marc, et en breton marc'h. Toutes ces formes celtes seraient d'origine gauloise. Parmi les juments célèbres, le géant Gargantua monte la gigantesque Grand Jument dans les œuvres de Rabelais. Flicka, créée par Mary O'Hara, donne son nom à un célèbre livre pour la jeunesse. En bande dessinée, Arabesque est la rusée monture du Caporal Blutch. Marcel Aymé a intitulé l'un de ses romans La jument verte, dont Claude Autant-Lara tire un film scandaleux en 1959, avec Bourvil dans le rôle principal. Le terme peut avoir une connotation particulière en pornographie, où “étalon” désigne l'homme dominant, et “jument” la femme soumise._______

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult

Learn about the fascinating connection between François Rabelais' Gargantua and Aleister Crowley's Thelema. In Gargantua, Rabelais introduces the Abbey of Thélème, a utopian society governed by the motto 'Fay ce que vouldras' ('Do what you will'). This principle would later inspire Crowley's central Thelemic tenet, 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.' Learn how Rabelais' Renaissance humanism, satire, and vision of personal freedom profoundly influenced Crowley's esoteric philosophy, bridging the gap between literature and occult spirituality.

La pièce « Gargantua » est bien sûr une transposition théâtrale du chef d'œuvre de François Rabelais. Elle est adaptée et mise en scène par Pierre-Olivier Mornas. Elle transcrit bien la truculence de Rabelais, tout en nous le présentant d'une façon très moderne. La naissance du héros a été rocambolesque. Il est né de l'union de Grandgousier et de Gargamelle. Pour se rassasier, il lui faut des mets astronomiques, dont les nombres sont écrits sur un tableau. Gargantua a aussi soif de savoir et son éducation est assurée par le précepteur Ponocrates. S'il y a un message à retenir de son existence, ce serait celui-ci, profiter de la joie d'être au monde. « Gargantua », c'est jusqu'au 10 novembre, du mardi au samedi à 19 heures, ainsi que le dimanche à 15 heures.

Thanks so much for taking part!Questions:What was the inspiration for Hi Nay? The characters are so rich and fully realized, I'd love to know the origin of the story! How do you go about balancing character development/background with the more horror action scenes? Is there a reason Murphy is one of the last main characters to have his backstory explored? Also silly question what are the main characters favorite/go to breakfast foods? What was your favorite episode to write and/or record? We talk a lot about "Who is the Benefactor?" but I want to know "Why is the Benefactor?" Why is he trying to amass power? Why does he hide his identity? What is his end goal? Can we get more from the cannibal Elder? I support women's rights and women's wrongs.(Act 2 spoilers, suicide mention cw) I have some questions about Drosselmeyer for the Q&A: What were their true feelings for Petja? Why didn't they create a clockwork doll body for themselves like they did for Lori, or kill the Elders with the spell they used to destroy their brain? Why wasn't their body found with Lori's in the Gargantua? (Act 2 spoiler) The river, the in-between place where Mari traps Lori, do you imagine it looking like any particular location in the Philippines?If I were to introduce someone to this podcast and that someone has only ever listened to the Magnus archives, what could I say to convince them to listen in?Songs (all by Bessie Smith):Down Hearted BluesI Ain't Got Nobody Thinking BluesDyin By The HourBaby DollI'd Rather Be Dead And Buried In My GraveDevil's Gonna Git You Hosted on Acast.

Darren does a Carbon Tax analysis with his own bills and the projections from the Government.   Gov Canada helping Gates with blocking out the sun with our tax dollars. Meanwhile banning electric space heaters, and Alberta pauses on renewables to secure cheaper and more reliable energy for Alberta. Graham goes over a synchronicity with Theleme, Thelema, Rishi Sunak and the very old Fantasy / Symbolic book Gargantua and Pantagruel. Why aren't more people talking about the name Theleme?   Then we get into some pushback against "gender affirming care", Doctors and scientists raising the alarm. Some inadvertently with the descriptions and risks of the surgeries, and some post op stats that don't look very good. Whistleblower gets in trouble in Texas, and Danielle Smith re iterates her position on kids, trans and parents.   Darren plays part 2 of the Gulags....   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/ or Rokfin www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica or Patreon https://www.patreon.com/grimericaoutlawed   If you would rather watch: https://rumble.com/v4ga0kx-outlawed-round-up-8.28-alberta-wins-again-and-pushback-against-affirmative-.html https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/post/5326653/outlawed-round-up-8-28-alberta-wins-again-and-pushback-against-affirmative-harm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogXmaxBOPF8   See links to stuff we chatted about: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13092239/Top-Canadian-surgeon-unwittingly-reveals-TRUTH-sex-change-ops-unearthed-video-lifts-lid-ill-trained-doctors-dying-appendages-dreaded-complications.html https://palexander.substack.com/p/dr-alex-laungani-sex-change-surgeon?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=579356&post_id=141751939&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=24pqe&utm_medium=email https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/15/exclusive-prominent-trans-surgeon-admits-in-unearthed-video-that-complications-of-genital-surgery-can-be-pretty-bad/ https://twitter.com/bruce_mcgonigal/status/1758749632501547127 AMEN! 3000 doctors, scientists say NO!

Il déforme le visage, fait se mouvoir le haut du corps, produit un son plus ou moins fort, plus ou moins aigu...- Le rire est souvent lié à la transgression d'un interdit. Le cas extrême, le fou rire, montre ce que le rire peut avoir d'excessif, d'incontrôlable et aussi de transgressif sur le plan moral. On peut d'ailleurs chercher à le cacher, notamment pour respecter la civilité, la politesse.- Le rire est associé à la joie ou à la gaieté : c'est une émotion positive.- Le rire est communicatif : il crée ou renforce une communauté de rieurs (on rit avec, ensemble)- Le rire peut aussi être lié à la volonté de se moquer, qui peut aller jusqu'à la critique ou la satire.- Il y a aussi un rire mauvais, malveillant : on l'appelle souvent le rire sardonique ou diabolique.Hébergé par Ausha.

Tous ces éléments participent à présenter le pacte de lecture, c'est-à-dire le mode d'emploi pour lire le livre et l'interpréter. Bien sûr, Rabelais y définit et défend son œuvre et la manière de la lire.Loin d'être un mode d'emploi clair, le prologue empêche une compréhension simpliste de l'œuvre. En évoquant les différentes modalités de lecture possible (la lecture de pur plaisir comique, la lecture allégorique, la lecture philologique), Rabelais fait la promotion d'un nouvel art de lecture qui bouleverse les habitudes et les recettes toutes faites. C'est la figure de Socrate qui porte la sagesse : le bon lecteur est celui qui sait qu'il ne sait pas bien lire et, donc, réfléchit sans cesse pour mieux comprendre.Hébergé par Ausha.

Il attaque une conception conservatrice et, selon lui, rétrograde de la religion, incarnée par les théologiens de la Sorbonne, les moines et les pèlerins. Dans ce sens, il s'inscrit dans les mouvements qui critiquent le catholicisme à son époque, comme la réforme protestante ou l'évangélisme (auquel Rabelais est clairement rattaché). Il reproche notamment aux autorités religieuses de faire croire qu'il suffit d'accomplir bêtement des rituels comme la messe ou les pèlerinages pour être un bon chrétien. Selon lui, au contraire, être un bon chrétien consiste plutôt en une intention individuelle volontaire, une foi sincère face à Dieu qui conduit l'homme à avoir un bon comportement dans sa vie quotidienne, avec ses proches et avec les humains en général.Hébergé par Ausha.

Gargantua, personnage de géant déjà bien connu du public avant Rabelais, n'était pas un roi : c'est donc un élément significatif, qui conduit à se demander si Rabelais ne présenta pas à travers lui la figure d'un roi idéal, avec son père le sage Grandgousier, qui s'oppose clairement au roi colérique et tyrannique Picrochole.À travers le conflit entre Grandgousier/Gargantua vs. Picrochole, Rabelais dépeint aussi de manière allégorique les guerres qui opposent à son époque l'Espagnol Charles-Quint et le Français François Ier. La fiction permet d'humilier l'empereur espagnol et de prendre une revanche sur la réalité qui puisse faire oublier la défaite désastreuse de Pavie, où Charles-Quint a battu les troupes de François Ier.Hébergé par Ausha.

Rabelais, dans son premier livre Pantagruel, avait déjà abordé le sujet dans une lettre de Gargantua à son fils Pantagruel, qui proposait un programme complet d'éducation. Dans Gargantua, le message porté par l'auteur passe par des voies qui sont plus complexes, car le thème de l'éducation est disséminé dans l'ensemble des chapitres 14 à 24, et même au-delà.Dans les chapitres 14 à 24, qui forment le cycle de l'éducation de Gargantua, il est clair que s'oppose deux types de pédagogie : l'ancienne et la nouvelle, la nouvelle venant remplacer l'ancienne dans l'ordre des expériences de Gargantua.Hébergé par Ausha.

Gargantua et ses compagnons sont souvent représentés comme des buveurs et des amateurs de plaisirs gastronomiques. Ces scènes de banquets et de libations contribuent à créer une atmosphère de célébration et de convivialité, mettant en avant une communauté des buveurs au sein de l'œuvre.Rabelais engage souvent directement le lecteur, l'invitant à participer aux plaisirs et aux rires présentés dans le récit. Les nombreux passages où l'auteur s'adresse au lecteur contribuent à intégrer ce dernier à la communauté des rieurs et des buveurs. Tout cela crée un lien interactif entre l'auteur, les personnages et le lecteur, invitant ce dernier à partager le plaisir et l'humour.À la fin du prologue, le narrateur réclame au lecteur de boire à sa santé pour que lui fasse de même : cela signifie au sens figuré, pour les lecteurs, accepter de rire à ses traits d'humour et ne pas le prendre inutilement au sérieux.

https://www.aufonddelaclasse.com/Dans Gargantua, le comique n'est par toujours d'une grande subtilité... D'ailleurs, en 1549, le poète Du Bellay, dans la Défense et illustration de la langue française, évoque Rabelais comme « celui qui fait renaître Aristophane », en le plaçant dans la lignée du plus célèbre auteur grec de comédies, qui faisait jouer ses pièces à Athènes au Ve s. avant J.-C, et où il était très connu pour son comique grossier. Au XXe siècle, le poète Robert Desnos attaque même l'auteur de Gargantua en écrivant que "Le terme scatologie définit l'œuvre de Rabelais", mot qui désigne des propos grossiers, qui se rapportent aux excréments.On peut facilement montrer, en tout cas, que le rire repose souvent sur le bas corporel, c'est-à-dire à la fois sur le scatologique et sur les allusions sexuelles. Il suffit de s'appuyer sur les premiers chapitres pour s'en convaincre, où apparaissent les parents de Gargantua "se frottant joyeusement le lard" ou encore le petit bébé "barytonnant du cul".Hébergé par Ausha.

https://www.aufonddelaclasse.com/Le comique de décalage se produit lorsque quelque chose est présenté de manière inattendue ou décalée par rapport aux attentes normales. Cela peut créer un effet comique en raison du contraste entre la réalité anticipée et la réalité présentée. Dans Gargantua, le comique de décalage peut résulter de l'écart entre les situations extravagantes et absurdes vécues par Gargantua et les conventions habituelles de la littérature ou de la société de l'époque. En particulier, le comique héroïcomique se manifeste souvent par la parodie ou la satire des épopées traditionnelles. Il peut apparaître à travers la manière dont les aventures de Gargantua sont présentées de manière grandiose et héroïque, mais avec une tournure comique et grossière. Le discours médical très technique côtoie aussi de manière comique la grossièreté la plus grande.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

https://www.aufonddelaclasse.com/D'après le dizain initial, avant de lire/rire, le lecteur doit se « dépouiller de tout affection » et ne pas se « scandaliser ». Il s'agit d'oublier ses passions et son sens moral pour retrouver un rire pur. Les deux derniers vers évoquent la supériorité du rire sur les larmes, « parce que rire est le propre de l'homme ». Cette formule se présente, avec son présent de vérité générale et son allure de proverbe, comme une vérité philosophique. Elle marque la supériorité du rire sur les larmes et fait la promotion du rire comme composante essentielle de l'humanité : c'est une manière de vivre sa vie qui est ici défendue, qui se rapporte au modèle du grec Démocrite.Le poète Hugues Salel, en 1534, présentait l'auteur alors anonyme de Pantagruel comme un nouveau « Démocrite / Riant les faits de notre vie humaine ». Démocrite est un philosophe grec qui proposait une manière de vivre qui faisait du rire la méthode pour surmonter tous les soucis de la vie humaine.Le rire est une marque de recul à l'égard de la vie humaine, de l'existence, de l'humaine comédie.

(Volume 13) Arabian Nights - The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night by Anonymous audiobook. This is a collection of stories collected over thousands of years by various authors, translators, and scholars. They are an amalgam of mythology and folk tales from the Indian sub-continent, Persia, and Arabia. No original manuscript has ever been found for the collection, but several versions date the collection's genesis to somewhere between AD 800 and 900. The stories are wound together under the device of a long series of cliff-hangers told by Shahrazad to her husband to prevent him from executing her. In translating the Nights, R. F. Burton attempted to invent an English equivalent of medieval Arabic. In doing so, he drew upon Chaucerian English, Elizabethan English, and the 1653 English translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart of the first three books of Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel (1532-1546).

Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the second half of August's book, Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais published in the 1530s (book 2 ‘Pantagruel' if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that I take a book I've never read, split it in two and discuss each half on the second and last Fridays of the month. I'll do a first impressions summary alongside my thoughts and reactions and then raise any interesting ideas so far in the novel (be aware - there may be spoilers.)

Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the first half of August's book, Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais published in the 1530s (book one ‘Gargantua' if you're reading alongside). The idea is that I split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first episode, published on the second Friday of the month, we'll discuss the first half. And then in the second episode (published on the last Friday of the month - 25th August), we'll look at the book 2 ‘Pantagruel'). Of course, you don't have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I'll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers).

Many early modern humanists would balk at the proposition that what they did amounted to housework. They were far more likely to reach for the heroic image of a farmer striving in the fields, as immortalized in the ancient Roman poet Virgil's Georgics. But, as shown in Katie Kadue's book Domestic Georgic: Labors of Preservation from Rabelais to Milton (University of Chicago, 2021), the domestic practice of preservation offered a powerful metaphor for the often-menial, often-overlooked labor. These labors from pickling to correcting to tempering were largely imperceptible but were essential to ward off disorder. Domestic Georgic offers fresh close readings of Francois Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene, Andrew Marvell's “Upon Appleton House,” Montaigne's Essays, and John Milton's Paradise Lost. Through these readings, this study provides a compelling new framework for our understanding of early modern poetics, gender, and labor. Katie Kadue is an incoming professor at SUNY Binghamton and a former Harper-Schmidt Fellow in the University of Chicago Society of Fellows. Her scholarly articles have appeared in Modern Philology, Montaigne Studies, and Studies in Philology, and public-facing work can be found at The Philosopher and the Chronicle of Higher Education. John Yargo is Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Boston College. He earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in the environmental humanities and early modern culture. In 2023, his dissertation won the J. Leeds Barroll Prize, given by the Shakespeare Association of America. His peer-reviewed articles have been published or are forthcoming in the Journal for Early Modern Culture Studies, Early Theatre, Studies in Philology, and Shakespeare Studies.

Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the second half of June's book, The Trilogy: Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett (translated from the French by the author and Patrick Bowles) published in 1951 (from Page 209 "I fear I may have fallen asleep again" if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that I take a book I've never read, split it in two and discuss each half on the second and last Fridays of the month. I'll do a first impressions summary alongside my thoughts and reactions and then raise any interesting ideas so far in the novel (be aware - there may be spoilers.) And then on the last Friday of the month, I'll discuss the second half of the book. We'll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it's a book we'd recommend to a friend - or not.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 6, 2022 is: gargantuan • gahr-GAN-chuh-wuhn • adjective Gargantuan means "very large in size or amount." // Bigfoot is said to be a creature of gargantuan proportions. See the entry > Examples: "We rode a horse-drawn carriage up to the gargantuan Grand Hotel, still embracing its luxury 1887 roots. After a tour of the quirkily colored suites, we settled in for a lunch of local smoked whitefish in the airy restaurant." — Simon Peter Groebner, The Star Tribune (Minneapolis, Minnesota), 14 Aug. 2022 Did you know? Gargantua is the name of a giant king in François Rabelais's 16th-century satiric novel Gargantua, the second part of a five-volume series about the giant and his son Pantagruel. All of the details of Gargantua's life befit a giant. He rides a colossal mare whose tail switches so violently that it fells the entire forest of Orleans. He has an enormous appetite, such that in one incident he inadvertently swallows five pilgrims while eating a salad. The scale of everything connected with Gargantua led to the adjective gargantuan, which since William Shakespeare's time has been used for anything of tremendous size or volume.
