L'Empire romain. Tome 1 (31 av. J.C. - 96 ap. J.C.)

Le Bas-Empire romain (284-491) est la période de rupture et de transition entre l'Antiquité et le Moyen-Age : du Paganisme au Christianisme, de la civilisation urbaine vers le système seigneurial. Fin d'une période pour certains, pré-histoire pour d'autres, des mutations qui ont fait notre monde ont marqué cette époque.

Résumé : Who would care about one more book on any weird ways to interpret dreams ? As an experienced practitioner of the powerful ?Therapy by the Imaginary in Action? (TIA), Michel Depeyrot is attempting to overcome a double challenge through the publication of the fi rst two-way lexicon of the language of the imaginary. Starting from the psychotherapeutic technique developed by Georges Romey over the last thirty years as Free Wakeful dreaming (FWD), this author has broadened its reach thanks to Carl-Gustav Jung's "Active Imagination" and Georges Vaillant's illustration of mechanisms of defense. It results in this "Vocabulary of Concepts and Processes" for a Therapy by the Imaginary in Action, namely Tome 1 of a Lexicon in love with the Psyche. The grammar of productions from the imaginary, discovered by Georges Romey, is the fi rst breakthrough in fi fty years after the pioneering and celebrated work of Noam Chomsky on the syntax of spoken languages. The structure of dream scenarios, both wakeful and sleeping, is presented in Tome 1 to turn it into the preferred reference for studying new therapeutic processes. This Lexicon is the fi rst of its kind, after numerous encyclopedia of symbols and dictionaries of dreams, which were never made consistent at once with a therapeutic process and with their translation in reverse. Indeed a lexicon must enable the practice of linguistic interpretation for a theme and not only a version. The latter is enabled by Tome 2, the "Vocabulary of Symbols and Images" for a therapy by the Imaginary in Action. A practical template for decrypting methodically any TIA scenario is presented in Tome 2. It is readily usable for scenarios dreamt in any culture and expressed in any spoken language, as dream scenarios are expressed in words, which serve merely as pointers to symbolic images. This active and effi cient therapy consists in exploiting the natural healing function of the imaginary, more effi cient than any psychotherapist' attempt at directing the patient's consciousness, which can only be a hindrance. Transference and counter-transference in TIA are nurtured only between the dreamers and their own unconscious, adding to the cure an astounded discovery of the Self by the patient.

La colonne de Marc Aurèle, construite par son fils Commode, raconte, comme celle de Trajan, les victoires impériales. Ce sont, en fait, les derniers moments d?un Empire conquérant, capable de mener de vastes opérations offensives. Parties des rives du Danube, les légions partent à la poursuite des Barbares d?Europe Centrale. La colonne ne raconte pas toute les guerres de Marc Aurèle, mais uniquement quelques années, celles où est associé son fils, le futur empereur Commode. Les gravures nous présentent une armée romaine très différente de celle de Trajan. Davantage d?auxiliaires, des soldats portant de longues épées, des cottes de mailles. L?adversaire est plus difficile à vaincre, capable de défaire ou d?assiéger les Romains. La diversité des tribus montre une Europe centrale en pleine recomposition.L?ouvrage présente l?intégralité des scènes de la colonne. La narration est découpée en 126 scènes, toutes illustrées et commentées. Un chef d?oeuvre de la sculpture romaine, un document d?époque exceptionnel.
