        gestalten continues to actively reimagine the way in which we approach publishing. With our extensive range of titles, we not only seek to enhance and to enrich our reader's lives, but to continually engage with the surrounding creative landscape. Our origin story began with a focus on the aesthetic, particularly that of graphic design and, over the last two decades, the scope of both our content and our expertise has widened. Today, using a myriad of observations of culture, people, art, and other intimate, inspirational informants, we document and anticipate vital movements in architecture, visual culture, design & fashion, escapism, food & beverages, travel, and contemporary art. In 2014, Little Gestalten joined the literary ranks and ensured that there was a place for readers of all ages within the world of gestalten. The gestalten narrative exists beyond the textual realm; regardless of the medium at hand, gestalten wishes to inform and inspire our community. We welcome you to enter gestalten's world of creative culture, whether between our pages, indulging in images and films online or at one of our international events. We look forward to the result: mutual inspiration.

        Y avait-il des limites si oui je les ai franchies mais c'était par amour ok

        by Michelle Lapierre-Dallaire

        WERE THERE LIMITS IF SO I CROSSED THEM BUT IT WAS OUT OF LOVE OK? In this uncompromising work of autofiction, the author attempts to reconcile herself to a world that endlessly denies her voice, her femininity and her trauma.  Summary Michelle’s life starts in early childhood with unspeakable abuse that will haunt her into adulthood.  The narrator suffers from borderline personality disorder, which blurs the line between excessive behaviour and hypersensitivity, revealing a woman furiously attached to the need to love and be loved.  The first book by Michelle Lapierre is disarmingly, unsettlingly frank. A rare incursion into the borderline psyche, Were There Limits… features a kaleidoscope of barely bearable scenes and luminous reflections on mental illness, family, romantic relationships—told in breathtakingly beauty prose.  *** French sample : https://flipbook.cantook.net/?d=%2F%2Fwww.entrepotnumerique.com%2Fflipbook%2Fpublications%2F111787.js&oid=255&c=&m=&l=&r=&f=pdf See other PDF for English sample.

        Variation linguistique et enseignement des langues

        Le cas des langues moins enseignées

        by Gilles Forlot, Louise Ouvrard (dir.)

        Dans cet ouvrage, l’appellation « langues moins enseignées » fait référence à celle de « langues modimes ». Tantôt appelées « langues rares », tantôt « langues moins diffusées » et parfois même « petites langues », ces langues n’entrent dans aucune des catégories préconstruites des institutions éducatives. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est donc de problématiser les tenants et les aboutissants des statuts qu’elles assument dans les systèmes éducatifs, et notamment de s’intéresser à la question de la variation linguistique dans leur enseignement‑apprentissage. En effet, l’enseignement des langues vivantes étrangères se construit souvent autour d’une norme imaginée et conçue comme étant celle de la langue légitime à enseigner/apprendre. De l’Asie aux Amériques, en passant par bon nombre de pays africains et européens, les décideurs éducatifs et les enseignants eux‑mêmes doivent composer avec ce phénomène qui, au delà de questions proprement pédagogiques, contribue à hiérarchiser les formes langagières. Au travers de l’examen de situations touchant à l’amazighe, à l’arabe, au chinois, à l’indonésien, au japonais, au ghɔmálá’, au malgache, au tchèque et à plusieurs des langues régionales de France (alsacien, basque, corse, occitan, picard et parler saint-martinois), les entrées épistémologiques des contributions relèvent ici de diverses disciplines des sciences du langage et/ou des sciences de l’éducation. Les contributions s’articulent, entre autres, autour d’axes tels que la variation et ses différentes formes dans l’espace éducatif, l’histoire des politiques linguistiques éducatives au regard du corpus des langues, la variation linguistique en lien avec différents systèmes éducatifs au sein d’espaces nationaux ou régionaux donnés, la gestion pédagogique de la variation, ses ramifications identitaires, la question du couple oral/écrit et des registres en didactique des langues moins enseignées, ou encore la problématique centrale des normes, de la légitimité et de l’authenticité dans l’enseignement de ces langues.
