L'émission 28 minutes du 28/01/2025 Posy Simmonds, “queen” du roman graphique et du monde des bulles Bandes dessinées, contes pour enfants, dessins de presse, romans graphiques : Posy Simmonds est connue pour son regard satirique. Dessinatrice pendant plus de trente ans au “Guardian”, une exposition lui sera consacrée au festival d'Angoulême du 30 janvier au 2 février : "Posy Simmonds Herself". En 2024, son œuvre avait déjà été couronnée du Grand prix du festival d'Angoulême. “Gemma Bovery”, “Tamara Drewe” et “Cassandra Darke” figurent parmi les romans graphiques qui ont fait sa renommée. Posy Simmonds s'intéresse notamment aux figures féminines qui ont marqué notre imaginaire collectif : “Avec Gemma Bovery, ça m'amusait aussi de faire des parallèles entre Emma Bovary et mon héroïne qui est moderne, qui est libre sexuellement, qui est indépendante, et la pauvre Emma qui endurait toutes les privations d'une femme du 19e.”  Derrière la fièvre du Bitcoin, la menace d'une bulle financière mondiale ? Les cryptomonnaies désignent des formes d'argent numériques et virtuelles reposant sur une technologie appelée “blockchain”. Depuis la création du bitcoin en 2009, leur valeur financière a pris de l'ampleur, suscitant de nombreuses convoitises. David Balland, entrepreneur français de 36 ans, a été enlevé avec sa compagne mardi 21 janvier par des ravisseurs qui réclamaient une rançon de 10 millions d'euros à son associé. Ce dernier est le cofondateur de Ledger, start-up française spécialisée dans les cryptomonnaies. David Balland et sa compagne ont été libérés grâce à l'intervention du GIGN. Le nouveau président des États-Unis, Donald Trump, a lui-même créé une cryptomonnaie à son effigie avant son investiture, le “$Trump”. Alors, les cryptomonnaies représentent-elles un eldorado ou le risque d'une nouvelle bulle financière mondiale ? Enfin, Xavier Mauduit nous emmène au musée du Louvre, où Emmanuel Macron prononce un discours après des alertes sur la vétusté du bâtiment. Et Marie Bonnisseau met le cap sur la Thaïlande où les collégiens et lycéens peuvent désormais décider de leur coupe de cheveux. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 7, 2024 is: lèse-majesté • layz-MAJ-uh-stee • noun Lèse-majesté (less commonly spelled lese majesty) can refer to a true crime or offense, or to something likened to a crime or offense. Most often, it's the latter, with lèse-majesté referring—seriously or playfully—to an act of disrespect that diminishes the dignity or importance of someone or something. In the former use, lèse-majesté refers to a crime (such as treason) that is committed against a sovereign power, or to an offense that violates the dignity of a ruler as the representative of a sovereign power. // Their less-than-formal attire at the wedding was regarded in jest as lèse-majesté. See the entry > Examples: "The graphic novelist Posy Simmonds has won the Grand Prix at France's Angoulême International Comics festival—the first time a British artist and author has been awarded the world's most prestigious prize for lifetime achievement in comics. … "I wanted to take the story of Madame Bovary but update it and it would be my story," she said. "When it was published in French, I was rather frightened. I was worried it would be seen as lèse-majesté that I had appropriated this great French classic. But they really liked the book, which was wonderful." — Angelique Chrisafis, The Guardian (London, England), 24 Jan. 2024 Did you know? Lèse-majesté (or lese majesty, as it is also styled in English publications) came into English by way of Middle French, from the Latin laesa majestas, which literally means "injured majesty." The English term can conceivably cover any offense against a sovereign power or its ruler, from treason to a simple breach of etiquette, but lèse-majesté has also acquired a more lighthearted or ironic meaning, referring to something that insults or shows disrespect, especially to a particularly pompous or self-important person or organization. As such, it may be applied to a relatively inoffensive act that has been exaggeratedly treated as if it were a great affront.

durée : 00:54:02 - La librairie francophone - par : Emmanuel Kherad - Voici une émission spéciale littérature et dessin à l'occasion du Festival international de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême.

Since 1974, the international comics festival in the French town of Angoulême has welcomed the best of the world's illustrators. This year the top prize was awarded to Britain's Posy Simmonds, making her just the fifth woman in the festival's history to receive the honour. She spoke to Alison Sargent about her work, her connection to Paris and her joy at being one of the first women to "infiltrate" the predominantly male world of comics. We also look at a new graphic novel from FRANCE 24's Stéphanie Trouillard, based on a photo taken at Auschwitz of a young member of the French Resistance defiantly smiling at her Nazi captors. We end with drawings by Japanese illustrator Moto Hagio, a pioneer of Shōjo manga, created for adolescent girls and young women.

Les sorties BD de Xavier Vanbuggenhout : - « True Love : Une Romance graphique » de Posy Simmonds (Denoël Graphic). Posy Simmonds vient de remporter le Grand Prix du Festival de la bande dessinée d'Angoulême - « Le Roi méduse Tome 1 » de Brecht Evens (Actes Sud) - « Le Canari » de Constance Lagrange (Seuil) Bianca Casady, du groupe américain de folk psychédélique, CocoRosie, pour son livre "Au bord du ciel" (Au Diable Vauvert). La poésie de Bianca Casady est une clé pour pénétrer dans une nature pleine de beauté noire, cousue de scènes solennellement décadentes aussi sacrées qu'obscènes. Au bord du Ciel nous rapproche de personnages parfois muets et immobiles, perpétuellement suspendus entre la vie et la mort, le ciel et la terre. Ce vendredi, c'est les 200 ans de la mort du peintre, sculpteur, dessinateur et lithographe français Théodore Géricault, dont le chef d'oeuvre est "Le Radeau de la Méduse", exposé au Musée du Louvre à Paris. On en parle avec Bruno Chenique, Docteur en Histoire de l'art, spécialiste Théodore Géricault et commissaire général de la future exposition "Les Chevaux de Géricault", qui s'ouvrira le 15 mai au Musée de la Vie romantique à Paris. "Machins Machines" d'Hélène Maquet : Les smartphones vont-ils disparaître ? Le talk-show culturel de Jérôme Colin.

As Halloween draws closer and closer, we delve deeper and deeper into the macabre. We kicked off the month of October with Edward Gorey. Now we're following him up with his spiritual cousin, none other than Hilaire Belloc himself. We're looking at two different editions of the Struwwelpeter-inspired (surely) poem Matilda, Who Told Lies and Was Burned to Death. One edition, illustrated by Steven Kellogg, was produced in 1970. The other, created in 1991 (and originally published in Great Britain), illustrated by Posy Simmonds, is the far tamer titled picture book Matilda: Who told such Dreadful Lies . . . (note that the original title is on the title page, not the cover). A lot can change in the intervening 20 years, and so we compare the two editions, their oddities and similarities, and come to the almost certain conclusion that Hilaire Belloc was . . . quite the interesting fella. But are these good books? That is the real question. Show Notes: Here's where Betsy will be interviewing Tom Felton. If you'd like to attend and you live in the Chicago area, you can go here and do so: https://northshorecenter.org/event/tom-felton/ For the full Show Notes, please visit: https://afuse8production.slj.com/2022/10/17/fuse-8-n-kate-matilda-who-told-lies-and-was-burned-to-death-by-hilaire-belloc/

By gum we haven't had one of these since our own mother came on the show. Today it is our infinite pleasure to present to you the fantastic author/illustrator/cartoonist Ursula Murray Husted of, amongst other things, the marvelous graphic novel A Cat Story. A fan of the podcast, it seemed only fitting to ask her to suggest a title for the show today. Her choice? A book that honestly I've never seen before. Lulu and the Flying Babies is an obvious homage to, say, The Snowman by Raymond Briggs, and its creator started out by making comics before she made books for kids. And as it just so happens Ursula started out that way too! This is an absolutely fascinating example of a picture book working with this level of comic book paneling. And, of course, at some point we do include the line, "I had no idea how easy it was to decapitate a cat." Show Notes: You can check out some of the range of Posy Simmonds' when it comes to her darker adult comics here: https://www.lambiek.net/artists/s/simmonds_posy.htm We bring up the question of which Posy Simmonds books are available for purchase in the states. If you're only interested in her children's books then besides this title check out Lulu and the Chocolate Wedding and Fred. It's not a lot but it's what we got! Ursula Recommends: The King of Confidence by Miles Harvey Kate Recommends: Songfinch, Putt Shack, and the new Bob's Burgers movie. Betsy Recommends: Making a birthday cake based on Erin Hunter's Warriors series.

Posy Simmonds chooses The Tale of Mr Tod by Beatrix Potter.Potter, born in 1866, didn't publish her first book, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit,” until her mid-30s. Having grown up isolated from other children, she had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District. She would go on to write 23 tales for children, but as early as 1913, at the height of her fame, she began to wind down her career to devote herself to sheep farming in England's Lake District. Previous to her career writing children's books, Potter's study and watercolours of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. Due to purchasing farms and parcels of land over her decades living in the Lake District and subsequently leaving them to the National Trust after her death, she is credited with preserving much of the land that now constitutes the Lake District National Park.Twice Upon A Time is hosted by Janet EllisProduced by Caroline RaphaelRecording and editing by John Wakefield and Diggory Waite.It is a Hat Trick Podcast.

durée : 00:02:29 - BD bande dessinée - par : Jean-Christophe OGIER - Le festival BD Boum met à l'honneur la britannique Posy Simmonds. Hasard : cet automne, le prix de la BD historique des rendez-vous de l'Histoire de Blois récompensait un travail sur les suffragettes anglaises. God save the Queens !

The cartoonist, writer and illustrator Posy Simmonds brilliantly captures the ambitions and pretensions of the literary world, and the journalist and curator Paul Gravett has worked in comics publishing for decades. Together they bring graphic novels and comic books to the foreground with the Slightly Foxed team. We draw moral lessons from the Ally Sloper cartoons of the 1870s, glimpse Frans Masereel's wordless woodcut stories of the 1920s, view the pictorial politics of Citizen 13660 by Miné Okubo in the 1940s and revisit Art Spiegelman's 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus before taking a closer look at more contemporary works. From a tragicomic summer with Joff Winterhart, nuclear explosions with Raymond Briggs, the shadow of James Joyce with Mary and Bryan Talbot and an Iranian childhood with Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, the discussion moves through panels, frames, splashes and spreads to Posy Simmonds's own methods in bringing literature to life, including crosshatching to Vivaldi. Originally serialized in the Guardian, Posy's Gemma Bovery builds on the bones of Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Tamara Drewe draws from Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, while Cassandra Darke takes inspiration from Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Though rooted in the classics, the devil is in Posy's detail, be it real French coffee pots, the joy of characters' names, such as Kevin Penwallet, and fictional places, such as Tresoddit. We continue our travels off the beaten track with our usual round-up of reading recommendations, and a trip to Gilbert White's House and Gardens in Hampshire, where we view the landscapes that sparked his evergreen classic The Natural History of Selborne.

People in the UK have a worrying lack of knowledge about what constitutes a crime when it comes to the sexual abuse of children, according to a YouGov survey commissioned by Barnardo's. The children's charity has been working with ITV's Emmerdale on a story-line about a teacher who grooms and has sex with a pupil. Jenni is joined by Amanda Naylor, Head of Child Sexual Abuse at Barnado's and Cris McCurley, a partner at BenHoareBell Solicitors in Newcastle to discuss adults in positions of trust and how the Sexual Offences Act 2003 relates to them. The Chelsea Flower Show has started. Women and children are at the heart of one of the gardens that has achieved gold. It's a recreation of a village in Zimbabwe with crops rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients especially good for women, teenage girls and children under five. Siobhann Tighe has been to see it.Today India learns the outcome of its general election. For the first time ever more women are likely to have voted than men. Political parties sought to appeal to women, offering educational loans, free cooking gas cylinders and bikes for girls. Eight percent of parliamentary candidates were women. In one party, the Trinamool Congress Party (TMC), 41 per cent of its candidates were women. Jenni is joined by the BBC's India correspondent Yogita Limaye in Varanasi and Dr Champa Patel, Head of the Chatham House Asia-Pacific programme.To mark the opening of a new retrospective of the work of Posy Simmonds at the House of Illustration in London, Jenni talks to its co-curator Paul Gravett, to comic laureate Hannah Berry and to cartoonist and winner of last year's Observer Cape graphic short story prize, Edith Pritchett. How did Posy become a trailblazing female cartoonist in a male-dominated field? And what impact has her work had on the next generation of women cartoonists and graphic novelists?

Gail, Hazel and Jennie talk to the artist and illustrator (and master of pastiche) David Eccles about the craft of marrying image and text. The actress Petra Markham takes to the airwaves with Posy Simmonds, and the printmaker Angie Lewin recalls her experience of being commissioned for a Slightly Foxed cover. **Books Mentioned** * Hugh Trevor-Roper, [The Last Days of Hitler](https://foxedquarterly.com/shop/hugh-trevor-roper-last-days-of-hitler/) * Richard Kennedy, [A Boy at the Hogarth Press & A Parcel of Time](https://foxedquarterly.com/shop/hogarth-press-richard-kennedy-plain-foxed/)  * Gwen Raverat, [Period Piece](https://foxedquarterly.com/shop/period-piece-plain-foxed-edition-published-1-sept/) * E.

Mike Leigh's film Peterloo is his biggest budget film. 200 years ago mounted yeomanry massacred unarmed protesters in Manchester who had gathered to demand their rights. The story is not often taught in schools and this film aims to increase public awareness of the barbarity and indifference of the authorities. We're reviewing 2 illustrated story books; Booker Prize winner George Saunders follows up Lincoln In The Bardo with a story apparently written by a fox. Also Posy Simmonds "Cassandra Darke" about love and dark machinations in world of fine art trading. Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele were near-contemporaries on the Viennese art scene if the late 1800s. A new exhibition at London's Royal Academy shows a selection of their drawings; erotic, tender, explicit, ethereal, beautiful and intimate Olivier and BAFTA award-winning playwright debbie tucker green's new play at The Royal Court Theatre in London is ear for eye, described as "a play about protest and the black body in the UK and US today” containing “snapshots of some experiences of protest; violence versus non-violence, direct action versus demonstrations”. Doing Money is a one-off drama for BBC TV about sex trafficking of Eastern European women. The writer Gwyneth Hughes also recently adapted Vanity Fair; the contrast could hardly be greater. Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Ayesha Hazarika, Liz Jensen and Robert Hanks. The producer is Oliver Jones Podcast Extra selections: Liz recommends The British Library's selection of Mervyn Peake's manuscripts Ayesha recommends Tunng Robert recommends Day Of The Outlaw Tom recommends Room 237

Vintage Podcast goes on the road with graphic novelist Joff Winterhart to talk about illustration, storytelling and see the sights of London!Take a look at the book itself: http://po.st/DrivingShortDistancesFollow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/vintagebooksSign up to our bookish newsletter to hear all about our new releases, see exclusive extracts and win prizes: https://www.penguin.co.uk/vintageMore about Driving Short Distances by Joff WinterhartSam is 27 and needs to get a job. Keith, who claims to be a second cousin of his (absent) father, offers him one. On Keith’s card it says he does ‘distribution and delivery’, which seems to consist of ‘a lot of driving around, getting out of the car for a few minutes and then getting back in’, Sam tells his mother. And so the days go by, Keith driving to a trading estate, ducking into a portakabin, all the while telling Sam stories about his first boss, Geoff Crozier, his mentor in distribution and delivery. As the weeks pass, Sam gets to know Keith’s friends, flirty Hazel-Claire from whom they buy two pasties every day at lunchtime, a variety of receptionists, and a few tantalising secrets from Keith’s past…As in Days of the Bagnold Summer, Joff Winterhart is a master at depicting ordinary life in all its utterly poignant and funny mundanity.Driving Short Distances is the new book by Joff Winterhart, whose first graphic novel, Days of the Bagnold Summer, was described by Posy Simmonds as ‘original, funny, touching and beautifully observed’ and was shortlisted for the Costa Award for Best Novel."In Driving Short Distances Joff Winterhart has created an unforgettable central player, Keith Nutt, who deserves to join Keith Talent in the short but potent list of great British literary Keiths. He is an unforgettable character, beautifully drawn and exquisitely written, and he confirms Winterhart as one of the most talented graphic novelists in the UK." (Zadie Smith)"Masterpiece is an overused word in reviews and ordinarily I avoid it… In this case, however, it is the only one that will do. Winterhart has delivered a perfect book, as good as mostly much better than any of the regular novels I’ve read so far this year. Like his first… its characters are superbly drawn. But with its themes of depression and its tender examination of the ways men talk (and fail to talk) to one another, it has a depth that book perhaps lacked. Days of the Bagnold Summer was shortlisted for the 2012 costa Novel award. This time around, Winterhart deserves to win it."

This show was recorded live at the Illustrato.rs Lineup show at the Mall Galleries, London on the 4th May.Dan Berry spoke to Richard Short, Karrie Fransman and Posy Simmonds about their work, their approach and the challenges in creating long-form work. A word of warning though - this was recorded in an art gallery, so the acoustics were terrible. The recording is actually better than the live sound on the day though. Big echoey white walls may be great for hanging art, but they aren't so good for reproducing those soft intimate Make It Then Tell Everybody tones that you've grown accustomed to.

Kirsty Young's castaway this week the cartoonist, writer and illustrator Posy Simmonds. Her social observation and sharp wit gained a loyal following in The Guardian where - among their stripped pine, lentils and patchwork - she depicted the lives of prototype woolly liberals Wendy and George Weber. Since then she's gone on to create highly acclaimed children's books and also graphic novels Gemma Bovary and Tamara Drew. Posy says she started drawing as soon as she could pick up a pencil and as a child was making magazines and little comics with titles like How to Turn Yourself Into an Up-to-Date Ted and How to Make Love and Be Loved in Four Easy Lessons. She remembers drawing as the perfect thing to do, because she could sit on her own and talk to herself.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: The opening of the prelude from Cello Suite No 1 in G Major by Johann Sebastian Bach Book: Four volumes of the London Telephone Directory Luxury: The Crown Jewels.
