Bien que l’ecart entre la realite et la rhetorique des annees Reagan fasse toujours l’objet de debats historiographiques, l’expression est utilisee aujourd’hui aussi bien par les adversaires que par les defenseurs de Ronald Reagan. Cet article soutient l’idee que l’utilisation d’un discours revolutionnaire par les conservateurs americains est une arme ideologique qui tend a vider le terme « revolution » de son sens et a eliminer symboliquement toute alternative susceptible de porter des changements consequents. Cette hypothese est exploree selon deux angles d’approche : d’une part, en analysant la maniere dont Reagan a presente son programme politique et son role dans l’histoire americaine en termes de « revolution » ; d’autre part, en dressant un bilan synthetique de la veritable portee d’une selection de changements qui se sont produits pendant et apres les annees 1980, de facon a determiner s’il convient d’employer le terme « revolution » pour decrire les annees Reagan.","PeriodicalId":422366,"journal":{"name":"Transatlantica : Revue d'Études Américaines","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129746344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article I argue that although Elvis fans are not substituting him for a deity, we can use one mechanism from Emile Durkheim’s theory of totemic religion to understand the human chemistry of his phenomenon. Specifically, I argue that fans offer their collective attention to Elvis in exchange for the thrill of a real or imagined individual encounter with him as a star of such magnitude. In other words, Elvis’s popularity is not incidental to his phenomenon, but has always been the medium through which his music talent has actualized itself. This does not make Elvis “sacred,” like a “god” or an object of worship. His entertainment is so thrilling because he, as an individual, adeptly channels the “buzz” of meeting someone so famous. His myth as a humble country boy also intensifies the thrill, making Elvis the ultimate popular icon.","PeriodicalId":422366,"journal":{"name":"Transatlantica : Revue d'Études Américaines","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124640023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depuis plus d’un siecle, les causes de cette domination sportive donnent lieu a des controverses virulentes recourant en general a des arguments genetiques (les noirs sont athletiquement superieurs) ou environnementaux (la pauvrete urbaine pousse les noirs vers le sport). Neanmoins, on peut plutot voir dans cette domination une volonte politique de lutter pour l’egalite, la dignite et la reconnaissance. Que la communaute noire americaine les celebre comme une chance d’integration ou les critique comme une dangereuse illusion, le sport et le basket-ball ont ainsi ete un aspect essentiel des luttes politiques africaines-americaines.","PeriodicalId":422366,"journal":{"name":"Transatlantica : Revue d'Études Américaines","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114751760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Le savoir est sa marque distinctive. Cependant, dans ses confrontations avec les animaux, particulierement en des circonstances impliquant la mort, le savoir humain s’avere insuffisant. D’autres formes de savoir doivent etre prises en compte. Le cas d’Oscar, le chat qui anticipe la mort des patients d’un hopital du Rhode Island, montre que les animaux savent des choses que nous ignorons. Notre savoir est limite, c’est le point de depart de la reflexion de Derrida dans L’animal que donc je suis, dans lequel il constate que la litterature philosophique sur les animaux ne suffit pas a justifier son humaine difference. Barry Lopez montre que notre savoir est insuffisant pour rendre compte de l’agonie d’un groupe de baleines echouees ; il n’est qu’un expedient assez faible pour dissimuler notre perplexite devant la mort. L’analyse de Heidegger dans L’etre et le temps presente une conception positive de la confrontation avec la mort. Loin d’etre un neant destabilisateur qui menace notre existence, la mort est source de savoir. L’etude en miroir de deux textes de Dickey et Dillard nous aide a nuancer la conception heroique de la mort selon Heidegger. Finalement, Loren Eiseley signale une autre possibilite que seule la litterature est en mesure d’offrir. Au lieu d’apprehender le monde a travers leur culture ou d’envier l’authenticite des animaux, les etres humains beneficient de visees tangentielles sur le monde et sur les animaux.","PeriodicalId":422366,"journal":{"name":"Transatlantica : Revue d'Études Américaines","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130485319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
