She demystifies the French way of life in an entertaining and personal narrative that carries us from the neighborhood shops of Paris to the halls of government, from the gardens of Versailles to the agricultural heartland. In La Seduction, Sciolino gives us an inside view of how seduction works in all areas, analyzing its limits as well as its power. While sexual repartee and conquest remain at the heart of seduction, for the French seduction has become a philosophy of life, even an ideology, that can confuse outsiders. Seduction plays a crucial role in how the French relate to one another-not just in romantic relationships but also in how they conduct business, enjoy food and drink, define style, engage in intellectual debate, elect politicians, and project power around the world. But Elaine Sciolino, the longtime Paris bureau chief of The New York Times, has discovered that seduction is much more than a game to the French: it is the key to understanding France. The hidden truth about the French way of life: it's all about seduction-its rules, its pleasures, its secretsįrance is a seductive country, seductive in its elegance, its beauty, its sensual pleasures, and its joie de vivre.

Around 1945, however, Roszak abandoned Constructivism because it reflected a view of the world he took to be falsely harmonious. Between 19, Roszak created constructions-three-dimensional and wall-mounted sculpture in which he eliminated all subject matter other than the uncompromising geometric form of the pieces themselves. After two years, Roszak returned to New York and in 1938 taught at the Design Laboratory, an experiment to transplant Bauhaus principles and methods to the United States. He set up a studio in Prague, and on trips to France, Germany, and Austria learned of Purism and Constructivism and became fascinated with the Bauhaus principles of the integration of art and life. After art school, Roszak received a fellowship to go to Europe in 1929. Should he want his ex back, and he got him, it was excellent.

Such issues are particularly pertinent with regard to a scholar whose sense of the early medieval past is rooted in the array of memories of places and the lived experience of places. 2 A range of work on Anglo-Saxon landscapes, addressing the context of place-names, settlement, and perception has proved particularly fruitful in the last decade or so. 1 The development of the spatial turn has proved a particularly rich field in the study of Anglo-Saxon history and culture: Nicholas Howe showed the ways in which the experiences of place-those of the modern scholar and the medieval sense of place-can collide in a visit to a location, often in a way that forces us to consider how we approach the past. This has been demonstrated in neuroscientific terms over the last four decades by the identification of the role of ‘place cells’ within the hippocampus of the brain linked to the subjective ‘sense of place’, in part linked to the creation of personal memory, while the significance of Lieux de mémoire in French historiography provides an endorsement of what many of us already feel. Those memories which shape us, as so many studies have shown, are shaped by place, and the places themselves are shaped by memory. That statement may be a truism, but there are few places better than a Festschrift where one can get away with starting a paper in such a manner. We are shaped by our memories and by others’ memories of us. |
