Partie 1. Le Lieu

Le musée de l'Imprimerie est l’un des musées phares de Lyon. Ce lieu fait partie des grands centres européens de l’histoire de l’imprimerie. Il valorise, conserve, documente, enrichit le patrimoine graphique, typographique et livresque.
La notoriété du musée de l’imprimerie augmente d’année en année, et fait de cet espace culturel un lieu incontournable du patrimoine lyonnais. En effet on note une progression de 15% en ce qui concerne les visites entre 2010 et 2011. Cette évolution est due à la qualité, la diversité et la profusion des expositions proposées par le musée.

Depuis 1964 le musée prend place dans un magnifique bâtiment construit au XVe siècle, l'ancien Hôtel de la Couronne, qui abrita de 1604 à 1655 les séances des Échevins de la Ville de Lyon.
Photo plaque
Situé au centre de la ville, au cœur de la presqu'île entre Rhône et Saône, le Musée offre un panorama unique de cinq siècles d'écriture.
Le musée a été conçu par le maître imprimeur et historien Maurice Audin, en collaboration avec Henri-Jean Martin, historien du livre. Ce dernier était à cette époque conservateur en chef de la Bibliothèque de Lyon, dont le Musée est d’ailleurs partenaire aujourd’hui.

Si l’on s’attache à l’histoire du lieu, l’hôtel de la couronne a en fait été acheté en 1604 par les échevins (officiers municipaux-consuls de la ville de Lyon) et le prévôt des marchands (agent du roi). Dans ce lieu, se préparèrent alors les réceptions de Louis XIII à Lyon.
Cependant en 1646, le Consulat se trouve à l'étroit dans ce lieu qui abrite alors le bureau de la Santé, la police (hôtel de ville)... L'hôtel est vendu mais ce n'est qu'en 1655 que les services municipaux quittent réellement l'hôtel de la Couronne pour s’installer dans l’hôtel de ville actuel.
En 1957, le Crédit Lyonnais, propriétaire des lieux, fait don du bâtiment à la ville. Un des artisans principaux de l’entreprise de réhabilitation pour faire revivre ce monument est l’imprimeur Maurice Audin.
En 1963, Louis Pradel, maire de Lyon, inaugure le musée de la Banque à l'occasion du centenaire du Crédit lyonnais. Puis le 18 décembre 1964, c'est le musée de l'Imprimerie qui s'ouvre au public. Le conservateur est Maurice Audin et il le restera jusqu'à sa mort en 1975.
Le musée a vécu en 1988 une importante transformation. Grâce au matériel de l’imprimerie Audin, on installe dans le musée un atelier d'imprimerie en activité : casses, plombs, vignettes, initiales, presses à épreuves pour les démonstrations publiques et du matériel typographique du XXe siècle pour réaliser les publications internes de type catalogues d'exposition, cartes postales.
Au sein du musée un espace important, prolongeant les salles du musée, accueille également des expositions temporaires, comme la rétrospective sur Roger Excoffon.

Ce musée est remarquable à la fois par le souci didactique qui inspira son fondateur et par l'ensemble de ses précieuses collections : une importante collection des premiers livres français, livres de toutes les époques, documents anciens, estampes représentatives de tous les procédés du XVe au XXe siècle, outils, objets, matériel technique (large choix de caractères d’imprimerie, bois et cuivres gravés) et machines à imprimer appartenant à l'histoire de l'imprimerie et des arts graphiques. Le Musée de l'imprimerie est également un lieu d'exposition comme dit précédemment et de rencontres où régulièrement, la Salle Maurice Audin propose au public des œuvres qui embrassent toutes les formes de création se rattachant au livre et à l'édition.

Community Services

...point of view, Will Rogers principles about physically fit cities and on how we should shape our cities, the vision of growing a city honors equality and diversity. Recycling brownfields abandoned and underutilized property to create parks for the communities is one principle of community-based land conservation. Furthermore, great cities have great parks. These parks are the gathering places for cultural events, farmers’ markets, recreation and also brings communities together. Providing wonderful park system is just as much an ethical issue as providing quality education and mobility for all citizens. I came to agreement on this issue of recycling land to get a fairer balance. In principle two, individual health is directly tied to how we shape our cities and communities. I can as a result of this say, to avoid ‘chronic diseases’ we should construct better patterns for our new developments in the urban, which will create sidewalks and bike paths. It is true to say that our growth patterns are affecting the water quality, the water that we consume to our bodies, becoming a major threat to our health. The squeezed patterns lead to traffics which of course, pollutes our air from the car emissions. It is the same air we breathe. Therefore, our health is at risk. Protecting our farms and natural lands helps to protect our community character and keeps traditional landscapes from fragmentation. That makes a community physically fit, as it a healthy economy.

The Who

...a fan of The Who. Therefore, I was rather excited when I was assigned a research paper on The Who; a band who I really knew nothing about before American Popular Music. In the following paper, I will provide details about The Who’s individual band members’ lives, as well as information in relation to the band in general. The Who had four main members: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. In addition to being the band’s guitarist, Pete Townshend took on the roll as the primary song writer. The most interesting fact I found about Townshend, is that he owns his own book publishing company. He actually published a book of his own called “Horse’s Neck” which consisted of a variety of short stories. Townshend has maintained a musical interest throughout his life, even after The Who broke up in 1983 (The Who Official Band Website). Roger Daltrey has always been a passionate musician; to the point where he even designed many of the bands guitars (The Who Official Band Website). Recently, Daltrey’s passion for music resurfaced. According to Mayer Nissim, a reporter for Digital Spy, “Roger Daltrey has confirmed that he is to tour The Who's 1969 album Tommy in full.” This article is from April 27th, 2011. Through further research, I found that the band had joined again in 2006 and released their first album in twenty-four years (The Who Official Band Website). The upcoming tour will be made up of former band members Townshend and Daltrey, as well as five additional...

...Now that you have selected the movie you want to review and watched it bearing in mind the evaluative criteria listed above, you are ready to begin writing your review. 1.Format Your review should have a title page specifying the title of the movie you are reviewing, your name, the names of your instructor and class, your student ID number, and the date you are submitting the review. The title page should be followed by the body of the review, which should be about 750 words long – about three double-spaced pages using a 12-point font. If you cite any sources, the full citations should appear in a separate References section at the end.

Dialogue and action bring stories to life, and you can increase your readers’ interest by quoting revealing snippets of dialogue and describing the action that takes place during important scenes. These narrative elements are especially effective when used in the introductory paragraphs because they help to engage the reader.

But Andy does not crack: he has the hope of the truly innocent, which (together with his smarts) allow him to prevail behind bars. He uses his banking skills to win favor with the warden and the guards, doing the books for Norton's illegal business schemes and keeping an eye on the investments of most of the prison staff. In exchange, he is able to improve the prison library and bring some dignity and respect back to many of the inmates, including Red.” After many years and a pick axe Andy manages to escape from prison threw slowly chipping away at the hole in his cell wall where...

Carl Rogers

...In reading about the humanistic theory, psychologist Carl Rogers speaks of motivation, how we perceive the world, how we think about ourselves and others, and also how the world and the people can play a major role in our lives, changing our motivation, for better or worse, kind of like the "butterfly effect" or domino effect". In Carl Rogers opinion every who, what, where, or when is contributing to the person we are going to become in life. Abraham Maslow, on the other hand, seemed to believe quite the similar views but at the same time in a different perspective. Abraham's views on Humanistic Psychology were based around the self-actualization or knowing their own path very clearly being self motivated, starting from the bottom and working their way up. For example, we as people know that the first thing we have to do in life is go to school. After graduating high school the next thing in moving up is furthering our education through college courses. The next steps to moving up would be landing your dream job, getting married, having children, buying your first house until you've reached a comfort zone in your life which would be your personal point of self actualization. From what I've understood with the self concept process, in the first few months of a child's life self concept is born. In a set of perceptions and beliefs about themselves rooting from the influence of self enhancing experiences, such as, positive regard or the sense of being valued and loved by other...

Waiting for Superman

...and released in Hollywood, CA in the year 2010. The reviews I selected that were most compelling to me were “Waiting for Superman Movie Review,” published by Roger Ebert, “School Spirit Waiting for Superman,” published by the New Yorker, and “Waiting for Superman: Are Teachers the Problem?,” published by TIME Entertainment. I was able to access all three of my chosen reviews online, and they were published in the same year as the film was released. Through analyzing the three reviews on Waiting for Superman, one major trend between them is that they agree there is some problem with our nation’s public schools system, and the reforms such as No Child Left Behind and receiving tenure contribute to this problem. Agreeing with the ideas presented in Waiting for Superman and these reviews, I feel that the problems existing in our schools could be solved with more funding to provide teachers with higher pay. The first review, published by Roger Ebert, focuses on the main argument of how our nation’s funding could change to better our public education programs. For example, “Spend less money on prisons and more money on education. Reduce our military burden and put that money into education. In 20 years, you would have more useful citizens, less crime and no less national security. It's so simple”(Roger Ebert). This was Roger Ebert’s proposal on how to improve the problems of our public schools. His review offers strong evidence by using direct quotes from Geoffrey Canada and his strategies...
