Mémoires - L'envers d'une vie

Autor: Demi Moore

Número de Páginas: 198

L'autobiographie d'une icône Ghost, Des hommes d'honneur, A armes égales... Depuis les années 1990, Demi Moore décroche les plus grands rôles au cinéma et fait la Une des magazines, devenant le sex symbole d'une génération. Cependant, l'actrice la mieux payée d'Hollywood fait face à de nombreux obstacles : traumatismes de l'enfance, dépendances à la drogue, histoires d'amour aussi tumultueuses que destructrices. Aujourd'hui proche de la soixantaine, Demi s'ouvre sur sa carrière et sa vie personnelle. Dans ces Mémoires intimes et chargés d'émotion, elle décrit sa jeunesse difficile entre une mère suicidaire et un père biologique caché, le viol dont elle a été victime, ses tentatives pour trouver un équilibre dans sa vie familiale, sa séparation avec Bruce Willis et Ashton Kutcher, le rapport compliqué qu'elle entretient avec ses trois filles. Derrière l'actrice, on découvre la vie d'une femme, faite de célébrité, de failles et de résilience.

La mode est politique

La mode est politique

Autor: Mélody Thomas

Número de Páginas: 290

Contrairement à ce que l’on veut nous faire croire, la mode est politique, et ce depuis le moment où il a été décidé que les hommes et les femmes ne s’habilleraient pas de la même manière. Elle impacte profondément la vision que la société a des femmes, et détermine souvent leur présence et leur poids dans l’espace public. Aujourd’hui, la mode est bousculée par la rapidité de l’information et l’appétence de certains à changer le monde qui nous entoure. Mais difficile de changer sans comprendre les notions et les codes de ce milieu qui sont multiples et complexes à appréhender. C’est la raison de ce lexique. Classées par ordre alphabétique, les différentes entrées ne sont pas de simples définitions mais bien de courts essais, dans lesquels Mélody Thomas interroge librement les différents concepts présentés. Elle revient sur des notions fortes, des moments marquants et des pièces emblématiques de l’histoire de la mode – qui est le miroir de l’histoire de nos sociétés – et nous aide à décrire les problèmes du présent pour dessiner ensemble l’avenir.
