![]() ![]() The play fortifies the brilliant righteousness of ‘balance in every way’. ![]() The responses of the different characters of the play to the wolf in sheep’s clothing, serve to help the gathering of people to remember the significance of unwavering discernment in reality as we know it where a few people will exploit basic reasoning and visually impaired trust. ![]() The play’s significant accentuation is on the senseless yet genuine consequences of neglecting to act with good judgment. However, Moliere’s Tartuffe, despite its endorsement of theologically grounded political absolutism, represents an important waystation on the road to “enlightenment”. ![]() Works, for example, like this is a true help to secure and advance religion by uncovering impostors for who they truly are and showing the genuine peril they posture to society when they go unchallenged. Religion isn’t the issue rather, the abuse of religion for an individual increase to the detriment of innocent, unwary individuals is the author’s main target audience. In spite of the fact that the play was initially denounced as a through and through an assault on religion and passionate individuals, an appropriate perusing recommends the polar opposite. Molière composed Tartuffe not to censure religion or religious individuals but instead to convict bad faith and to teach groups of onlookers, using humor, on the significance of balance, good judgment, and unwavering discernment in all everyday issues. ![]() ![]() Thanks to everyone who supports the podcast financially-we hope you’ve been loving recent treats like the Minisodes from Jess: What Really Sells Books and KJ: Why I Love Plotting Books (and which to grab) and the Top 5 Things to Know About Using a Pseudonym.

Despite the growing importance of zines in the cultural sphere of Quebec and Canada, they remain relatively unknown to the general public. Zines and the Politics of Alternative Culture by Stephen Duncombe, published in the United States in 1997 and republished more than once. Zines have rarely been the subject of in-depth analysis in Quebec, unlike American or European researchers who have been studying them for the past twenty years – one of the main scientific studies on the zine remains Notes from Underground. “Perspectives on the zine and the alternative publishing scenes” Conference – CRILCQ, Université de Montréal – October 6 and 7, 2022 A much overdue update from the Toronto Zine Library will be coming next week, but in the meantime TZL is happy to share the following Call For Contributions: ![]() ![]() This popularity, I argue, makes the story something of a queer oddity.

In the canon of American holiday fiction, perhaps no other piece is as fondly remembered by so many as among the most enduring as Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory." First published alongside advertisements for perfume and Cartier in the now defunct women's magazine Mademoiselle in December of 1956, the story initially seems to have made few waves. ![]() ![]() ![]() Those expecting naughty nuns and frolicsome friars will be disappointed. ![]() ![]() Sir Josse's respect for the abbess's intelligence and integrity is just one of his charms, while the struggle both characters go through to reconcile their religious convictions with the superstitions surrounding the night forest adds more than usual interest. ![]() A missing novice and a second body deepen the mystery. Determined to discover what really happened that night, Sir Josse finds evidence that the murdered man and his cohorts had more to poach than small game, and that life in the forest and life in the abbey are not as separate as they may seem. The abbess thinks the sheriff a fool, but until the arrival of her friend, enlightened knight Sir Josse d'Acquin, she must remain content with the official version of events. Abbess Helewise of neighboring Hawkenlye Abbey sends for the sheriff, who dismisses the murder as the work of the "Wild People," a strange band of wanderers who come to the forest every June, according to local lore. One summer night in the Wealden Forest, an expertly thrown spear with a well-chiseled flint point pierces the heart of a poacher.

There are all kinds of ways of translating a classical text. New audiences will find the poem newly topical, since the poem is about refugees trying to make a home in a place they had never heard of before their exile it is about immigrants and nation-building it is about the Roman idea of citizenship, which saw the citizen body not as an ethnic concept but as a political compact, always potentially open to new groups, in a way that was radically different from the blood-and-soil mystique of Athens. One immediate justification is that each translation is the contemporary way of bringing the poem back to the public’s attention. The inevitable question: Do we need another translation of Virgil’s “Aeneid”?
