Astonvilla (Un million de lézards)

Rapporte-moi d'où tu iras,
Tout c'qu'il y a de bien en nous,
Des signes d'intelligence rare,
D'où sortent ces nuages trop lourds.
J'ai souvent dû faire la route
Des chemins qu en savent long
Sur notre époque trouble,
Sans jamais poser de questions.
Comme c'est con.

Un million de lézards
Pour un milliard de raisons
Un million de lézards
Pour un milliard de raisons
Un million de lézards

Rapporte-moi d'où tu iras,
Un truc qui fait battre nos cÂœurs
Allez va donc voir sur Mars,
Si l'existence est mieux ailleurs
Ici le bonheur tourne a vide.
De prières en télévisions.
Dans quel chaos se cache-t-il ?
C'est pour nos filles est nos garçons,
La missionÂ...


Un million de lézards
Pour un milliard de raisons
Un million de lézards
Pour un milliard de raisons
Un million de lézards

Rapporte-moi d'où tu iras,
De prières en télévisions,
Des signes d'intelligence rare,
C'est pour nos filles et nos garçons
J'ai souvent dû faire la route
Des chemins, qui en savent long
Sur notre époque trouble,
Sans jamais poser de questions.

The Immediacy of Rhetoric: Definitions, Illustrations, and Implications

The Immediacy of Rhetoric: Definitions, Illustrations, and Implications

Abstract:

Alice H. Calderonello, Advisor

"This dissertation theorizes about "Immediacy," a concept that is concerned with the destabilizations and ruptures that occur in con temporary rhetorical situations. I argue that when we examine how discourse functions in the current postmodern condition (where ideologies are in flux, borders are questioned, and technologies such as the Internet are radically changing the ways we com municate), we must re(con)figure our assumptions concerning such fundamental concepts as "rhetor," "audience," and "message."

Chapter one, "The Context of Context," discusses the ancient Greek notion of "kairos" in order to examine the connections and disconnections between the ancient past and the postmodern present and to set the context for contemporary debates on the rhetorical situation. Chapter two, "Postmodernity, Rhetorical Situations, and a Definition of Immediacy," which is heavily influenc ed by the theories of Derrida, Foucault, and Baudrillard, concerns the relationship between "immediacy" and "situation" within our contemporary postmodern condition, where the assumed distinctions between the roles of rhetors, audiences, and messages have been questioned, where the "wholly contained" self has dissolved, and where differences between the "real" and the "hyperreal" and simulation are indeterminate.

The second part of this dissertation (chapters three and four) examines the Internet as both an example of and a site for creating immediate rhetorical situations. Since the Internet is currently in a state of rapid change, chapter three, "Defining the Internet," explains in some detail the components of the Internet relevant for this work and describes the rhetors and audiences who inhabit this environment. Chapter four, "The Internet as an Immediate Rhetorical Situation," is a synthesis of what has come previously; it explains why the Internet is an immediate rhetorical situation. The closing chapter, "The Immediate Future," is a discussion of the implications of immediacy in general and for the Internet in particular".

Louise Attaque (La plume)

j'te donne la plume pour qu'tu dessines
la plus belle ville que t'aies connue
le plus bel hymne que t'aies voulu
j'te donne la plume
moi j'en veux plus
j'te donne la plume pour savoir vivre
parler, écrire et danser
pour rester livre, bien éveillé
j'te donne la plume et mes conneries,
garde-les
j'te donne la plume pour que t'inscrives
perpétuellement la vie à construire
ce mouvement si dur
j'te donne la plume
moi j'en veux plus
voilà une heure
que je t'attends
voilà mon cœur prudence en sortant
compter les heures
depuis longtemps
est revenu mon cœur
déposé en sortant

Breakdown (Jack Johnson)

I hope this old train breaks down /Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see /And time is just a melody
All the people in the street/ Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town/ And though my windows got a view
The frame I'm looking through/ Seems to have no concern for now
So for now/ I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just/ Let me please breakdown

This engine screams out loud/ Centipede gonna crawl westbound
So I don't even make a sound/ Cause it's gonna sting me when I leave this town
All the people in the street/ That I'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow/ And I got no time
That I got to get to/ Where I don't need to be

So I /I need this/ Old train to breakdown
Oh please just/ Let me please breakdown
I need this/ Old train to breakdown
Oh please just/ Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down/ But I cant stop now
Let me break on down/ But you cant stop nothing

If you got no control/ Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in, you know/ You don't know nothing
But you don't need to know/ The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows/ You cant stop wishing
If you don't let go/ But things that you find
And you lose, and you know/ You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold/ The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low

I need this/ Old train to breakdown
Oh please just/ Let me please breakdown
I need this/ Old train to breakdown
Oh please just/ Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down/ But I cant stop now

Résumé:

Après une présentation du monde virtuel Second Life et des entretiens de groupe hors ligne et en ligne, nous identifions les variables à prendre en considération afin d’adopter une démarche scientifique dans ce type d’espace et, plus particulièrement, celles pertinentes pour réaliser des entretiens de groupe. Nous présentons par la suite les particularités à connaître pour organiser un entretien de groupe sur Second Life. Puis, en nous basant sur notre vécu, nous proposons plusieurs implications permettant d’utiliser cette méthode de recherche de façon optimale.
