Theresa Fulgenzi - Stereotypes
"Sonnet 4 - Unthrifty Loveliness, Why Dost Thou Spend..." by William Shakespeare (poetry reading)
Shakespeare was fond of puns. At the time this was written, the word "spend" at the end of the first line had a double meaning. It meant to ejaculate. They had the idea that the body made only a limited supply of procreative fluid - and that it deteriorated in quality with expenditure. The poem advises the young man to ration his usage of semen to create an heir and pass on his beauty - and not use it "for having traffic with thyself alone".
It's interesting that they were aware that se

Les enjeux de l’individualisme (video)
Jusque dans les années 60, le modèle d’intégration sociale dominant était un modèle « corporatiste » qui assurait une place, une position garantie à chaque individu au sein de la société. Chacun était alors acteur du système, chacun était à sa place: le médecin, l’ouvrier, la femme au foyer…
Aujourd’hui cet idéal de stabilité est mis à mal: les catégories sociales sont bousculées (les ouvriers sont moins nombreux, les femmes travaillent de plus en plus),

With bombs and guns and shovels and battle-gear,
Men jostle and climb to meet the bristling fire.
Lines of grey, muttering faces, masked with fear,
They leave their trenches, going over the top,
