Ce stéréotype s'associe très bien avec la femme géante.Celle-ci créé l'homme objet par sa façon ludique et joueuse de s'afficher en tant que nouvelle garçonne. Au fond, elle joue le rôle de l'homme pour se mettre elle-même en valeur et donc, vient confirmer son habituelle soumission.

• Disputed Presidential Election of 2000 - U.

  counts. At oral arguments on November 20, the justices seemed to be most interested in one issue: At what point did allowing re-counts risk making Florida too late toparticipate in the electoral college vote?

Electors from each state would meet on December 18 to cast their votes. The next day the court ruled unanimously for Gore and granted a five-d...

• Bien des personnages créés pour et par la littérature, le théâtre ou le cinéma peuvent acquérir la dimension d'un véritable mythe. Leur nom propre devient même, parfois, un nom commun, un tartuffe, un tarzan, par exemple... A quoi cela est-il dû ? A quoi cela répond-il ? A quelles conditions est-ce possible ?

  • Ils sont bien des mythes, leur filiation est certaine, mais c'est ordinairement la légende qui est passée à l'art (10).S'ils se trouvent dans ce royaume si intense et exceptionnel où ils existent à part entière, c'est que le créateur estparvenu par le biais de son art à « orchestrer ce qui était déjà un mythe à l'état latent » Id.)

If other light elements, particularly sulfur, exist there as well, thecore may be larger than presently thought. From studying Earth’s magnetic field and core, scientists theorize that the motions of the liquid rock in Earth’s core generateits magnetic field. Mars does not have a significant magnetic field, so scientists believe that Mars’s core is probably solid. However, spacecraft data in...

• l'imagination est-elle synonyme de liberté ?

  Ainsi, l'art comme la science exigent le recours à l'imagination. Le mot s'attache, chez le savant et chez l'artiste, à cette capacité particulière d'inventivité et de créativité qu'ils manifestent dans leurs activités. René Thom, mathématiciencontemporain, dit que l'esprit scientifique doit « prolonger le réel par l'imaginaire, et éprouver ensuite ce halo d'imaginaire qui complète le réel ».Le réel est récupéré au profit d'un dessein spirituel : l'imagination témoigne alors de cet effort singul...
