"Our Little Ghost" by Louisa May Alcott (poetry reading)
Maybe this is a poem about a living child expressed in a somewhat macabre way, but on close examination that seems less likely. Louisa May Alcott is better known for her novel Little Women, published in 1865, one of the first novels of the movement called Literary Realism. When reality is harsh, literature and art tend to be idealised. Little Women is about a family of four sisters. Beth, the youngest, becomes ill and she actually dies.

Entrepreneurship as a Nexus of Enterprise ENS Lyon - La peur détruira-t-elle la ville? (Sophie Body-Gendrot)
La peur facilite la gouvernance des peuples, mobilise les citoyens, légitime un séparatisme social spontané. Son instrumentalisation politique et médiatique est ciblée sur la ville, car celle-ci est la métaphore des tensions sociales. L'«insécurité» cache un refoulé de questions majeures pour les sociétés et pour les habitants des villes, en particulier.
