Coq-à-l’âne et affaires du temps (1565-1622)
Pendant les guerres de Religion et au-delà, des auteurs anonymes se sont attaqués aux affaires du temps par le prisme du rire et de l’incohérence du coq-à-l’âne. Tous les camps du conflit – protestant, catholique, ligueur et politique – ont repris le genre inventé par Marot. Cet article cherche à mettre en lumière une sélection de ces textes peu connus pour aborder la question du lien entre le rire, le non-sens et l’actualité. Le coq-à-l’âne est …

« Tant serieux que facecieux »
Cet article examine en quoi les prologues de Bruscambille ( ?-ca. 1634) relèvent du mélange sério-comique. Ces textes, adressés au public de l’Hôtel de Bourgogne à Paris ainsi qu’à de nombreux lecteurs, participent dans cette forme héritée de l’Antiquité qui fait osciller les propos entre la farce et la philosophie, la gauloiserie et l’érudition. Le comédien-auteur affiche son appartenance au sério-comique dans les titres de certains recueils, y …

Gossip and nonsense in Renaissance France and England
Published
Comparative nonsense
Two similar types of nonsense, ‘galimatias’ and ‘fustian’, emerged in late sixteenth‐ and early seventeenth‐century France and England respectively. Although they are far from being the earliest forms of nonsense, they reveal the period's concerns about obscure language and those who speak and write it. While both involve the parody of academic jargon, seen in, among others, Montaigne and Ben Jonson, galimatias and fustian are not limited to this…
Chance, Providence, and Imperial Ennui in Alfred Domett’s Ranolf and Amohia
“I have read your poems – you can do anything” wrote Robert Browning to his close friend Alfred Domett on May 22, 1842, shortly after the latter had emigrated to New Zealand (Browning, Domett and Arnould 35). If this was in part friendly overpraise of Domett's verse, it was also a prognostication as to the effect of emigration. The idea (which also underlies Browning's poetic treatment of Domett's departure in the figure of Waring who “gave us al…
Obscenity and the Politics of Authorship in Early Seventeenth-Century France
In 1635 the poet Guillaume Colletet (1598-1659) became a founding member of the Académie française. Yet only a dozen years before this he had been exiled as a result of the poems he signed in Le Parnasse des poetes satyriques (1622), the same collection that provoked the trial of Théophile de Viau in 1623-25. Focusing on Colletet's contributions to the collections of lewd poetry known as the recueils satyriques , I argue that he uses obscenity as…

Obscenity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century France
In 1702 Pierre Bayle devoted nineteen folio pages of the second edition of his Dictionnaire historique et critique to answering accusations that he had let obscenities slip into his monumental work of erudition. 1 Almost two centuries before this, Erasmus had raised a similar set of issues in his Christiani matrimonii institutio (1526), not at such length as Bayle, but in a more wide-ranging way and from a different starting point, as the great h…

Medicine and Nonsense in French Renaissance Mock Prescriptions
This article analyzes nonsensical mock prescriptions, especially from sixteenth-and early seventeenth-century France, situating these in a context of both medical and literary history. Mock prescriptions shed light on the writing and performance of nonsense, in particular in their use of the adynaton, and on how such nonsense appealed to a mixed audience, including that of Bruscambille. They are also prominent in representations of mountebanks an…
The Single Assessment Process in Primary Care
Recent government policies have been active in addressing social inclusion and active participation of older people in many aspects of societal life. Independence and wellbeing animate these developments and are evident in the emphasis on person-centred services within the single assessment process for older people (Department of Health, 2002b). Drawing on a feasibility study of the Single Assessment Process as a ‘case-finding’ approach, this pap…

Evidence, hierarchies, and typologies
Debate is ongoing about the nature and use of evidence in public health decision making, and there seems to be an emerging consensus that the “hierarchy of evidence” may be difficult to apply in other settings. It may be unhelpful however to simply abandon the hierarchy without having a framework or guide to replace it. One such framework is discussed. This is based around a matrix, and emphasises the need to match research questions to specific …
The Battlefield
The violence that has ravaged Algeria has often defied explanation. Regularly invoked in debates about political Islam, transitions to democracy, globalization, and the right of humanitarian interference, Algeria's tragedy has been reduced to a clash of stereotypes: Islamists vs. a secular state, terrorists vs. innocent civilians, or generals vs. a defenseless society. The prevalence of such simplistic representations has disabled public opinion …
Dancing in the Dark
Perspectives on Berber Politics
An important element of Ernest Gellner's defence of his segmentarity theory of Berber politics was his claim that this theory can trace its origins to the work of the nineteenth-century French ethnologist Émile Masqueray, whose study of the Berbers of Algeria was cited by Durkheim to illustrate his concept of 'segmental social organization'. The implication of Gellner's claim was that the segmentarity theory applied to Algerian as well as Morocca…

The Algerian State and the Challenge of Democracy
THE PUBLIC REACTION OF WESTERN GOVERNMENTS AND commentators to the suspension of the electoral process in Algeria following President Chadli's resignation on 11 January was profoundly mixed. Relief at the fact that Algeria was not about to become ‘a second Iran’ very quickly gave way to disapproval of the manner in which this prospect had been conjured away at the last moment, as numerous leader writers in London and Paris and no doubt elsewhere …
Sound Stupidity
The purpose of this article is to draw attention to a fact about the situation in Northern Ireland which has been almost universally overlooked or misunderstood where, that is, it has not been deliberately concealed, and to draw out its principal implications. This is that the people of Northern Ireland are excluded from the party political System which determines the government of the United Kingdom (the State of which Northern Ireland nominally…

Algeria's ruinous impasse and the honourable way out
This article examines the nature of the continuing conflict within Algeria. The author considers in detail and rejects the main elements of the official French position on the conflict. He suggests that an accurate analysis of its component factors and of recent attempts at moves towards a resolution indicates that a valid, internally achieved solution is by no means impossible. For this to happen, the army needs to reconsider its position as the…

The Unforeseen Development of the Kabyle Question in Contemporary Algeria
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INHABITANTS OF GREATER Kabylia and their Arabic-speaking compatriots constitutes one of the fundamental issues of contemporary Algerian politics. This relationship has been neither accurately conceived nor adequately taken into account in the existing literature on modern Algeria. The growth of popular Berberism in Kabylia, articulating widespread opposition to the government's Arabization policy and the demand for of…
The international gallery and the extravasation of factional conflict in Algeria
The crisis of the Algerian state since the riots of October 1988 has entailed a massive expansion of the terrain on which political battle has been joined. Prior to the riots, political conflicts in Algeria were contained by the institutional framework of the FLN‐state and essentially confined to the factions within the regime. The promulgation of a pluralist constitution and the legalisation of political parties in 1989 established a new politic…

The Algerian bureaucracy
Algeria has a form of ‘state capitalism’ and thus the role of the bureaucracy is crucial. The approach here to this question rejects as simplistic the two polar views: on the one hand, the belief that Algeria is undergoing some kind of transition to socialism and though there may be a ‘problem of bureaucracy’, this is treated outside the class structure; on the other, the notion that if there is state capitalism then the bureaucracy is a ruling c…

The Islamists, the democratic opposition and the search for a political solution in Algeria

The reported death toll since January 1992 now exceeds 35,000, and the majority of these have been killed in the last year. But, as was amply demonstrat…

The Construction of Consciousness
Consciousness is analyzed after a brief review of some aspects of the present stage of understanding of consciousness. Discerned as its elements are brain configurations, in principle as described by Wolfgang Koehler or D. O. Hebb, and which are functionally termed “schemata.” Basic schemata represent, that is, are activated by and associated with, environmental, somatic, and psychic conditions. Self, being, and relation schemata are defined. Pri…
Consciousness in Animals and Automata
Consciousness, which has a superordinate function in very complex, very active servomechanisms, is explicated cybernetically and semantically, these parallel explications being empirically testable respectively by bionics and psychology. Certain configurations of encephalic conductions of neural impulses are regarded functionally as ‘schemata.’ Certain organizations of schemata are grades of consciousness, “are” denoting identity. Consciousness i…
