Missive à François Tatou, mon père. Essai d'anthropographie du quotidien

Short Description:
Une malle s’ouvre. De précieux vestiges s’en échappent : photos impeccablement conservées par la douce vigilance d’une épouse, ouvrages jadis passionnément annotés, polycopiés aux signatures illustres, agendas nimbés de la patine du temps. Voilà le matériau à partir duquel l’autrice construit l’épistémologie particulière de cette si longue lettre par laquelle, portée par la fratrie, une fille parle à son père. Et voici lancée non pas une saga familiale, mais une anthropographie du quotidien de leurs vies. Réflexivité et catharsis. NewParaD’abord Dschang, sur les plateaux verdoyants de l’ouest du Cameroun où est né François Tatou « vers 1928 ». Son parcours de vie s’acheva aux confins du Sahel, dans une ville rebaptisée tendrement ici Garoua la Belle. Entre les deux, juste après les Indépendances, Paris où François Tatou acheva sa formation à l’Institut des Hautes Études d’Outre-mer, ce lieu qui forma de nombreux cadres de la haute fonction publique d’Afrique francophone. NewParaAu fil de la missive, sa fille met en scène un ressenti commun sur des enjeux toujours d’actualité : la femme dans la cité, les défis et dépits du multilinguisme, la scénarisation - brutale ou feutrée - des chocs culturels, l’assignation à résilience, le développement humain et social, l’urgence primordiale de la gestion pertinente des savoirs.

D’abord Dschang, sur les plateaux verdoyants de l’ouest du Cameroun où est né François Tatou « vers 1928 ». Son parcours de vie s’acheva aux confins du Sahel, dans une ville rebaptisée tendrement ici Garoua la Belle. Entre les deux, juste après les Indépendances, Paris où François Tatou acheva sa formation à l’Institut des Hautes Études d’Outre-mer, ce lieu qui forma de nombreux cadres de la haute fonction publique d’Afrique francophone.

Au fil de la missive, sa fille met en scène un ressenti commun sur des enjeux toujours d’actualité : la femme dans la cité, les défis et dépits du multilinguisme, la scénarisation – brutale ou feutrée – des chocs culturels, l’assignation à résilience, le développement humain et social, l’urgence primordiale de la gestion pertinente des savoirs.

ETH 101: Ethics and Society
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a suggested course syllabus for a 100-level introductory ethics course. I have focused primarily on primary source readings when possible, and using secondary or summary readings to supplement students' understanding of the primary sources. The only exception to this general rule, however, is the readings for Immanuel Kant, as his writings are far more dense and technical, and can be very difficult for the average undergraduate to parse through. For this reason I have included only secondary and summary readings for Kant's ethics. The suggested syllabus is formatted on the assumption that the readings are primarily a springboard for class discussion, and for each week's selections I have included suggested discussion starters which correlate to that week's readings. As I continue to build on and modify this resource I plan to attach some of my Google Slides for each section, as well as editable Mid Term and Final materials, so feel free to contact me about those or simply check back.

The open resources that I drew from each have additional selections which I chose not include but may be of interest to others, particularly "Introduction to Ethics" from Lumen Learning which contains various chapters exploring specific ethical dilemmas. So I encourage anyone who finds my course helpful to explore these other resources to see what else you may want to include for your students. Below are the various open sources I relied on to create this course.

Eighteenth-Century Literature: Versions of the Self in 18th-C Britain
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

When John Locke declared (in the 1690 Essay Concerning Human Understanding) that knowledge was derived solely from experience, he raised the possibility that human understanding and identity were not the products of God's will or of immutable laws of nature so much as of one's personal history and background. If on the one hand Locke's theory led some to pronounce that individuals could determine the course of their own lives, however, the idea that we are the products of our experience just as readily supported the conviction that we are nothing more than machines acting out lives whose destinies we do not control. This course will track the formulation of that problem, and a variety of responses to it, in the literature of the "long eighteenth century." Readings will range widely across genre, from lyric poetry and the novel to diary entries, philosophical prose, and political essays, including texts by Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, Mary Astell, David Hume, Laurence Sterne, Olaudah Equiano, Mary Hays, and Mary Shelley. Topics to be discussed include the construction of gender identities; the individual in society; imagination and the poet's work. There will be two essays, one 5-6 pages and one 8-10 pages in length, and required presentations.

End of Nature
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This subject offers a broad survey of texts (both literary and philosophical) drawn from the Western tradition and selected to trace the growth of ideas about nature and the natural environment of mankind. The term nature in this context has to do with the varying ways in which the physical world has been conceived as the habitation of mankind, a source of imperatives for the collective organization and conduct of human life. In this sense, nature is less the object of complex scientific investigation than the object of individual experience and direct observation. Using the term "nature" in this sense, we can say that modern reference to "the environment" owes much to three ideas about the relation of mankind to nature. In the first of these, which harks back to ancient medical theories and notions about weather, geographical nature was seen as a neutral agency affecting or transforming agent of mankind's character and institutions. In the second, which derives from religious and classical sources in the Western tradition, the earth was designed as a fit environment for mankind or, at the least, as adequately suited for its abode, and civic or political life was taken to be consonant with the natural world. In the third, which also makes its appearance in the ancient world but becomes important only much later, nature and mankind are regarded as antagonists, and one must conquer the other or be subjugated by it.

This course introduces the theory and the practice of engineering ethics using a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach. Theory includes ethics and philosophy of engineering.
