  1. Fire

    Author: Pyne, Stephen J.
    Published: 2012
    Publisher:  Reaktion Books, London

    "Fire has been an integral feature of our planet for over 400 million years. It has defined human culture from the beginning; it is something without which we cannot survive. For while fire is among the most destructive forces on earth, it has equally tremendous powers of cleansing renewal and controlled energy. In this book the author delivers a masterclass history of fire and its use by humanity, explaining how fire has always been at the core of how people have made their world habitable, whether hunting, foraging, farming, herding or urbanizing, and of course in managing nature reserves. Fire was deployed in the bast by aboriginal communities, and early agricultural societies began to control and contain fire and fuel. But our mastery of the science and art of fire has not given us absolute power: fire disasters have altered the course of history, and unexpected fires that begin as the result of other disasters can have shocking efffects. In addition, wildfires are a crucial component of natural regeneration. The past 200 years has also seen the growth of a massive new role of combustibles in the form of fossil biomass: 'people burn fuels from the geological past and release their effluents into the geological future. The present they overload with noxious emissions and greenhouse gases.' New combustion practices have radically changed the world's ecological balance

    "Fire has been an integral feature of our planet for over 400 million years. It has defined human culture from the beginning; it is something without which we cannot survive. For while fire is among the most destructive forces on earth, it has equally tremendous powers of cleansing renewal and controlled energy. In this book the author delivers a masterclass history of fire and its use by humanity, explaining how fire has always been at the core of how people have made their world habitable, whether hunting, foraging, farming, herding or urbanizing, and of course in managing nature reserves. Fire was deployed in the bast by aboriginal communities, and early agricultural societies began to control and contain fire and fuel. But our mastery of the science and art of fire has not given us absolute power: fire disasters have altered the course of history, and unexpected fires that begin as the result of other disasters can have shocking efffects. In addition, wildfires are a crucial component of natural regeneration. The past 200 years has also seen the growth of a massive new role of combustibles in the form of fossil biomass: 'people burn fuels from the geological past and release their effluents into the geological future. The present they overload with noxious emissions and greenhouse gases.' New combustion practices have radically changed the world's ecological balance

    "This detailed study of fire metaphors provides a deep understanding of the purposeful work of metaphor in discourse. It analyses how and why fire metaphors are used in discourses of awe (mythology and religion) and authority (political speeches and media reports). Fire serves as a productive and salient lexical field for metaphors that seek to create awe and impose authority. These metaphors offer a rich linguistic and conceptual resource for authors of mythologies, theologies, literature, speeches and journalism, and provide insight into the rich interplay of thought, language and culture. This book explores the purpose of fire metaphors in genres ranging from the Norse sagas to religious texts, from Shakespeare to British and American political speeches. Ultimately it arrives at an understanding of the rhetorical work that metaphor accomplishes in communicating evaluations and ideologies."--Bloomsbury Publishing pt. 1. Fire in culture, language and thought -- pt. 2. Fire in religious discourse -- pt. 3. Fire in political discourse

    Dans l'imaginaire collectif, la fumée reste étroitement liée au contexte privé. Nos références nous rappellent les volutes épaisses et chaleureuses qui s'échappent de la cheminée ou qui s'entortillent autour de la flamme d'une bougie. On songe aussi à la délicate odeur du tabac que dégageaient les fourneaux des pipes de nos grands-pères, ou à l'odeur âcre de la cigarette ... Mais que représente la fumée au Moyen Âge et aux Temps modernes? Quelles symboliques revêt-elle pour les hommes et la société de l'époque? Comment est-elle alors représentée et dans quel contexte? Très tôt associée aux puissances surnaturelles, la fumée rend visibles, tangibles, les relations entre l'homme et les puissances divines, entre la terre et le ciel. L'exposition décline la fumée sous ses aspects religieux et profanes pour lever le coin du voile sur quelques thématiques: les fumées symboliques (offrande, prière, colère divine) cotoyent les fumées physiques issues de la combustion du tabac, des résines odoriférantes, des épices et essences animales et de la poudre noire.

    Fire and divine presence -- Fire and secondary agents -- Fire in worship. "In biblical literature, fire is an indicator of divine status. Fiery motifs include storm and war imagery, and occasional references to cultic fires of sacrifice. In some narratives, fire embodies the localized presence of Yhwh. In other narratives, fire represents divine agency working at a distance from the divine presence. This is true both for historical narratives and for descriptions of the cult"--

    In Donegal in the spring of 1945, a farmhand runs into a burning barn and does not come out alive. The farm's owner, Barnabas Kane, can only look on as his friend dies and all 43 of his cattle are destroyed in the blaze. Following the disaster, the bull-headed and proudly self-sufficient Barnabas is forced to reach out to the community for assistance. But resentment simmers over the farmhand's death, and Barnabas and his family begin to believe their efforts at recovery are being sabotaged. Barnabas is determined to hold firm. Yet his teenage son struggles under the weight of a terrible secret, and his wife is suffocated by the uncertainty surrounding their future. As Barnabas fights ever harder for what is rightfully his, his loved ones are drawn ever closer to a fate that should never have been theirs. In The Black Snow, Paul Lynch takes the pastoral novel and -- with the calmest of hands -- tears it apart. With beautiful, haunting prose, Lynch illuminates what it means to live through crisis, and puts to the test our deepest certainties about humankind.
