Lancelot Andrewes constructed visually intense scenes and symbolic images to capture his auditors’ interest, but he never let them forget that his visual enargia was rooted in the words of scripture and had no reality outside that given by God’s Word. His strategy was, therefore, not only to make Christ’s presence concrete and accessible to his listeners, but also to hint at how God will always be out of reach, a truth that cannot be seen. In exploring this rhetorical strategy, I focus especially on Andrewes’s 1604 Good Friday sermon, 1620 Easter sermon, and 1620 consecration rite. The two sermons were delivered at opposite ends of Andrewes’s career in James’s court, but both are notable for their intense scrutiny of what it means to see Christ in the eyes of the mind, body, and soul.

In order to understand the emergence of modernist movements in Japanese and Chinese modern literature, “modernism,” “Neo-Perceptionist School” and “Paul Morand” are three keywords closely intertwined. This article proposes to compare the Japanese and Chinese modernist movements from a more original step – the translation, by focusing on Paul Morand's two short novels: The Roman Night and The Night of Six-days, which were simultaneously translated into Japanese and Chinese during the modernist movement in 1920s and 1930s. Through the comparison, we try to answer the following questions: how did the cultural roles of translators influence their translation strategies? In what way have the Japanese and Chinese translation strategies shown modernity? How did the differences of Japanese and Chinese translation strategies reveal different facets of modernity in these two countries?
Keywords: modernisme japonais, modernisme chinois, école des sensations nouvelles, traduction, japanese modernism, chinese modernism, neo-perceptionist school, translation

AbstractThe ecological thesis in urban sociology has long treated suicides as a symptom of urban pathology. Historians who have studied the problem in Paris in the nineteenth century have accepted that official statistics mirrored reality and have explained higher rates in the capital than elsewhere in France by the failure of immigrants, marginal groups and working classes to adapt to the urban milieu. The purpose of this article is to determine the validity of these conclusions. The method adopted to do so consists, first of all, in creating a reliable data base using three different sources: the Morgue registers, statistics published annually by the Ministry of Justice and compilations made from individual suicide dossiers in the 1850s. It consists, secondly, of an analysis of crude data and global rates, and a more detailed examination of the incidence of suicide by gender, civil status, age group and profession and across Parisian space. The argument that is presented denies the validity of the ecological thesis. It is argued that rates do not increase across the period and that immigrants, the marginal, the working class are not overrepresented among suicides. It is further argued that the methods used to end one's life were more passive than brutal and that suicides were less important among causes of death than they would be in the twentieth century when Parisian rates had become the lowest in France.
