“‘There’s only one piece of white meat in him and that’s his neck. The rest of the meat is dark meat. If you fry it, it’s still like a white piece of meat, like a chicken breast.

Nestled between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, and stretching from Hampton Roads to Assateague Island, Virginia’s Eastern Shore is a distinctly southern place with an exceptionally southern taste. In this inviting narrative, Bernard L. Herman welcomes readers into the communities, stories, and flavors that season a land where the distance from tide to tide is often less than five miles. Blending personal observation, history, memories of harvests and feasts, and recipes, Herman...

In this abundantly illustrated volume, Bernard Herman provides a history of urban dwellings and the people who built and lived in them in early America. In the eighteenth century, cities were constant objects of idealization, often viewed as the outward manifestations of an organized, civil society. As the physical objects that composed the largest portion of urban settings, town houses contained and signified different aspects of city life, argues Herman.Taking a material culture ...

The essays that comprise Elusive Archives raise a common question: how do we study material culture when the objects of study are transient, evanescent, dispersed or subjective? Such things resist the taxonomic protocols that institutions, such as museums and archives, rely on to channel their acquisitions into meaningful collections. What holds these disparate things together here are the questions authors ask of them. Each essay creates by means of its method a provisional colle...

Internet n’est pas une soft démocratie universelle, ouverte et autocontrôlée, l’affaire Snowden nous l’a rappelé. Sa déjà fameuse « gouvernance » reste à définir : les modèles classiques sont directement questionnés par l’évolution des usages et des technologies. L’accumulation et le traitement des big data – ou données de masse – promettent de changer profondément notre approche même des faits s...

Thornton Dial (1928-2016), one of the most important artists in the American South, came to prominence in the late 1980s and was celebrated internationally for his large construction pieces and mixed-media paintings. It was only later, in response to a reviewer's negative comment on his artistic ability, that he began to work on paper. And it was not until recently that these drawings have received the acclaim they deserve. This volume, edited by Bernard L. Herman, offers the first sustain...

«J’aimerais mieux ne pas» répond invariablement le scribe Bartleby quand on lui confie un travail. Cette phrase, devenue culte, est un cri de résistance puissant. L’obstination de Bartleby à refuser toutes les tâchesqu’on lui demande nous fascine et nous émeut, jusqu’à nous guider vers une forme d’audace et de liberté jamais explorée.« Rien n’exaspère autant une personne sérieuse que la résistance passive. »Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Bernard Hoepffner.
