La désobéissance civile

Différente de la résistance armée, la désobéissance civile s'inscrit dans la vie ordinaire des individus, qui l'utilisent pour marquer leur opposition à la force de la loi. Au XXe siècle, Gandhi et Martin Luther King en ont fait un instrument privilégié de protestation non violente. Initialement inspirées par des convictions religieuses ou philosophiques, les attitudes désobéissantes prennent aujourd'hui un tour plus politique. Demeureront-elles le registre protestataire d’une minorité ou s’imposeront-elles comme une forme nouvelle d’expression citoyenne? Dans un contexte où indignés, écologistes et altermondialistes, parmi bien d’autres mouvements, pratiquent la désobéissance civile, cet ouvrage en retrace l’histoire, tout en analysant ses modalités d’action et ses rapports ambigus avec la violence et le droit.

Vertraute Fremde? Jens Baggesens und H.C. Andersens Reisen durch Deutschland:Fremdheitswahrnehmung und ihre literarische Gestaltung in "Labyrinten" und "Skyggebilleder"

Jens Baggesen and H.C. Andersen are both aspiring young authors when they set out on their respective journeys to Germany. The literary accounts of their travels - Labyrinten and Skyggebilleder - show how the authors perceive a foreign country, which, despite having a culture closely linked to their own, still contains elements that strike them as being unfamiliar and even bizarre. Their curiosity towards the strange features they encounter is accompanied by a strong desire to reaffirm their own national and cultural identity, forever relying on the comfort of the familiar. When confronted with experiences of strangeness and unfamiliarity that threaten to alienate them, both authors develop similar literary strategies. The poetical programmes that both writers implicitly subscribe to are illustrated in the way they perceive strange and alien elements and are therefore fundamentally and intrinsically interlinked with their aesthetic convictions as writers.
