Pourquoi le mot « dandy » serait-il réservé aux hommes ?
L'histoire de cette mouvance d'origine anglo-française apparue vers 1800 montre que ce sont les hommes qui en ont posé les bases. Mais, près de deux siècles plus tard, n'est-il pas nécessaire de leur présenter celle qu'ils n'ont jamais vraiment reconnue : la « Lady Dandy » ?
Car aucun de ce qu'on pourrait appeler les « dandy commandements » - élégance formelle, esprit, anticonformisme et surtout le fameux je-ne-sais-quoi, cette arme secrète qui permet de rester insaisissable - n'échappe aux compétences féminines.
Des salons parisiens aux cocktails new-yorkais, de Sarah Bernhardt à Dorothy Parker en passant par Marlène Dietrich, de l'art de porter le pantalon à celui de faire scandale, du sens de la répartie aux mille et une façons de claquer son argent, ce livre démontrera que, oui, décidément, les femmes savent y faire.

Le dernier des gentlemen

- Vous savez ce que mangent les girafes ? me demanda-t-elle.

- Non, répondis-je prudemment, en m'essuyant la bouche avec un keffieh traînant sur le divan. Et en me protégeant la jugulaire.

C'était alors une fatiguée de la plus belle espèce. Je me surprenais à la redéfinir, poussé par un désir sans sexe. Avec ces yeux qui paraissaient n'avoir jamais pleuré et ce rire coupant comme un jeu d'échecs en cristal. Elle m'offrit, pour finir cette agape introductive, un thé déculpabilisant. Et commença un laïus qui semblait longuement mûri, au point qu'elle donnait parfois l'impression de réciter.

Se disant « travaillée par le doute », elle m'annonça qu'elle avait décidé de dissoudre le gang des Gentlemen. Pour ma part, après dix-huit mois de service, et pour récompenser mon implication et mon culot, elle faisait donc de moi « le dernier des Gentlemen ». « Et en quoi cela m'oblige ? » lui rétorquai-je. Elle me tendit une espèce d'in-folio jauni, voire orangé : « Cette partition ne va nulle part, mais elle va loin », me dit-elle. Elle m'embrassa le front, me caressa les cheveux, comme une mère sûre de ses sentiments le ferait, puis disparut de ma vie.

Alister est auteur, compositeur, interprète ayant à son actif trois albums (Aucun mal ne vous sera fait, Double détente, Mouvement perpétuel), des sketches pour la télévision (« La Minute blonde », « Un gars, une fille »), des essais (Anthologie des bourdes et autres curiosités de la chanson française, Anthologie des méchants et autres salauds du cinéma français, La femme est une dandy comme les autres, La Bibliothèque impossible), et une revue (Schnock, dont il s'occupe depuis 2011). Le Dernier des Gentlemen est son premier roman.

Navigating the Changing Landscape of Formal and Informal Science Learning Opportunities

John Loughran, Deborah Corrigan, Cathy Buntting
- Springer
- 27 Juin 2018
- 9783319897615
This book presents research involving learning opportunities that are afforded to learners of science when the focus is on linking the formal and informal science education sectors. It uses the metaphor of a "landscape" as it emphasises how the authors see the possible movement within a landscape that is inclusive of formal, informal and free-choice opportunities. The book explores opportunities to change formal school science education via perspectives and achievements from the informal and free-choice science education sector within the wider lifelong, life-wide education landscape. Additionally it explores how science learning that occurs in a more inclusive landscape can demonstrate the potential power of these opportunities to address issues of relevance and engagement that currently plague the learning of science in school settings.

Combining specific contexts, case studies and more general examples, the book examines the science learning landscapes by means of the lens of an ecosystem and the case of the Synergies longitudinal research project. It explores the relationships between school and museum, and relates the lessons learned through encounters with a narwhal. It discusses science communication, school-community partnerships, socioscientific issues, outreach education, digital platforms and the notion of a learning ecology.

Valuing Assessment in Science Education: Pedagogy, Curriculum, Policy

Deborah Corrigan, Richard Gunstone
- Springer
- 5 Juin 2013
- 9789400766686
Assessment is a fundamental issue in research in science education, in curriculum development and implementation in science education as well as in science teaching and learning.
This book takes a broad and deep view of research involving assessment in science education, across contexts and cultures (from whole countries to individual classrooms) and across forms and purposes (from assessment in the service of student learning to policy implications of system wide assessment). It examines the relationships between assessment, measurement and evaluation; explores assessment philosophies and practices in relation to curriculum and scientific literacy/learning; and details the relationships between assessment and science education policy.
The third in a series, Valuing Assessment in Science Education has chapters from a range of international scholars from across the globe and staff from Monash University, King's College London and University of Waikato. The two previousbooks in the series examined research relevant to the re-emergence of values in science education and teaching across the spectrum of science education as well as across cultural contexts through the professional knowledge of science teaching. This third book now moves to examine different aspects of generating understanding about what science is learnt, how it is learnt, and how it is valued.
Valuing Assessment in Science Education will appeal to all those with some engagement with and/or use of research in science education, including research students, academics, curriculum development agencies, assessment authorities, and policy makers. It will also be of interest to all classroom science teachers who seek to keep abreast of the latest research and development and thinking in their area of professional concern.

The Future of Technology Education

P John Williams, Cathy Buntting
- Springer
- 17 Novembre 2014
- 9789812871701
Twenty-five years ago there was increasing optimism in policy, curriculum and research about the contribution that technology education might make to increased technological literacy in schools and the wider population. That optimism continues, although the status of technology as a learning area remains fragile in many places. This edited book is offered as a platform from which to continue discussions about how technology education might progress into the future, and how the potential of technology education to be truly relevant and valued in school learning can be achieved. The book results from a collaboration between leading academics in the field, the wider group of authors having had input into each of the chapters. Through the development of a deep understanding of technology, based on a thoughtful philosophy, pathways are discussed to facilitate student learning opportunities in technology education. Consideration is given to the purpose(s) of technology education and how this plays out in curriculum, pedagogies, and assessment. Key dimensions, including design, critique, students' cultural capital are also explored, as are the role and place of political persuasion, professional organisations, and research that connects with practice. The discussion in the book leads to a conclusion that technology education has both an ethical and moral responsibility to support imaginings that sustain people and communities in harmony and for the well being of the broader ecological and social environment.

Tractations en eaux troubles

"Sur la large bande de béton qui surplombait le vide, déjà encombrée par la cohorte des passagers en plein débarquement, je pris quelques instants pour laisser les chauds rayons d'un soleil ardent me caresser doucement la peau. Ici, les bienfaits de l'astre céleste ne se voyaient altérés par aucune couche de pollution. De la Mer Intérieure, qui s'ouvrait sous nos pieds, un vent du sud charriait jusqu'à nos narines une forte odeur iodée. Dans le ciel, en louvoyant prudemment entre les nombreux Zeppelins qui y manoeuvraient, volaient de blanches mouettes, en bandes désordonnées."

Philip Konstantine et son assistante, Olyvia Drakenholme, des agents très spéciaux chargés d'éradiquer l'usage de la magie sur tout le territoire de l'Empire de Woltany, débarquent à Sérenissimia afin de s'assurer que rien ne vienne perturber le sommet économique international qui doit s'y dérouler.
Diane d'Elmëané, ambassadrice du Duché d'Araakonie, arrive à ce même congrès accompagné par sa suite, avec la ferme intention d'expliquer que si l'Empire ne cesse pas son exploitation systématique des ressources naturelles, dans les seuls buts de croître et de se développer, il finira par raviver l'ancestrale colère des Fées de Lumière, qui depuis toujours, veillent sur l'équilibre du Monde et sur sa biodiversité.
Mais Sérenissimia, antique Cité-État bâtie sur une lagune, dont les rues ne se parcourent qu'en bateau, dissimule bien d'autres secrets dans les eaux troubles de ses canaux.

Cette première enquête de Philip Konstantine vous ouvrira les portes du 7ème Monde, au cours d'un thriller trépidant et plein de rebondissements, teinté de politique, de fantastique et de magie.
