    Keywords: Islam ; Stammesgesellschaft ; Naher Osten
    Abstract: This book is the first comprehensive study in German on tribal identity in the Middle East. It includes a comparative and theoretical survey of Muslim tribal societies and a detailed empirical case-study. A separate identity within wider political and cultural communities is one of the most characteristic aspects of Middle Eastern tribes. It is typically expressed in tribal striving for political autonomy - an autonomy practically realized in varying degrees according to historical conditions. The book examines cultural dimensions and practical manifestations of tribal identity in this tension between local particularism and wider belonging. A critical discussion of the anthropological notion of tribe serves as an introduction to the theoretical part of the book. The insight that the most important common traits of Muslim tribes are located in the cultural and ideological sphere leads on to an examination of the general characteristics of Middle Eastern tribal societies. Then specific cultural models of tribal identity, such as the ideological and practical role of kinship and marriage relations, are examined, and the highly variable practical manifestations of tribal organization are outlined. The first part of the book is concluded by a critical appraisal of competing theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of tribal identity, which forms the basis for the empirical case study. In the second part, the theoretical approach elaborated in the first part is applied to a case study of a specific tribal society, a central Moroccan Berber tribe. First, the historical and geographical conditions are analyzed. Then the history of the tribe and the various kinds of sources for its understanding are discussed. Further chapters are devoted to the traditional political and legal ...
    Abstract: Das Buch stellt die erste umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit dem Phänomen tribaler Identität im Vorderen Orient in deutscher Sprache dar. Es verbindet eine komparativ und theoretisch orientierte Untersuchung von Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden islamischer Stammesgesellschaften mit einer eingehenden empirischen Fallstudie. Die separate Identität im Inneren umfassenderer politisch-kultureller Gemeinschaften, die Stämme im Vorderen Orient kennzeichnet, drückt sich typischerweise im Streben nach politischer Autonomie aus, das sich je nach historischen Bedingungen in sehr unterschiedlichem Ausmaß realisieren läßt. Das Buch untersucht kulturelle Dimensionen und praktische Erscheinungsformen tribaler Identität in diesem Spannungsfeld. Am Anfang steht eine kritische Aufarbeitung des sozial- und kulturanthropologischen Stammesbegriffes. Ausgehend von der Einsicht, daß die wesentlichen Übereinstimmungen verschiedener islamischer Stämme im kulturell-ideologischen Bereich zu finden sind, werden allgemeine Charakteristika nahöstlicher Stammesgesellschaften herausgearbeitet. Spezifische kulturelle Modellen tribaler Identität, besonders die ideologische und praktische Rolle der Beziehungen von Verwandtschaft und Heirat, werden ebenso untersucht wie die variablen praktischen Erscheinungsformen tribaler Organisation. Der erste Teil schließt mit einer kritischen Aufarbeitung unterschiedlicher theoretischer Zugänge. Der zweite Teil wendet am Beispiel eines zentralmarokkanischen Berberstammes die im ersten Teil erarbeiteten theoretischen Perspektive an. Nach einer Analyse der historischen und geographischen Rahmenbedingungen werden die Geschichte des Stammes und die Quellen für ihre Kenntnis sowie traditionelle politische und rechtliche Institutionen untersucht und die Veränderungen skiz ...

    Abstract: This book provides a self-contained and systematic introduction to classical electron theory and its quantization, non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics. The first half of the book covers the classical theory. It discusses the well-defined Abraham model of extended charges in interaction with the electromagnetic field, and gives a study of the effective dynamics of charges under the condition that, on the scale given by the size of the charge distribution, they are far apart and the applied potentials vary slowly. The second half covers the quantum theory, leading to a coherent presentation of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics. Topics discussed include non-perturbative properties of the basic Hamiltonian, the structure of resonances, the relaxation to the ground state through emission of photons, the non-perturbative derivation of the g-factor of the electron and the stability of matter

    Abstract: La recherche des principes, et plus particulièrement, d'un Principe, d'un terme premier auquel le monde, en son devenir ou en son être, se trouve suspendu, peut être considérée comme le projet originel de la philosophie. On n'en trouvera pas dans cet ouvrage à proprement parler l'histoire. Celui-ci se propose plutôt d'insister sur le sens et les conséquences de cette exigence du principe, à partir de laquelle la philosophie a organisé son développement et en laquelle s'enracine son questionnement. C'est en étudiant les rapports - faits d'emprunts et de critiques - qu'entretiennent Platon, Aristote et Plotin, qu'on peut apercevoir le mieux les tensions qui travaillent la notion même de principe : comment concilier sa nécessaire transcendance avec l'égale nécessité de son rattachement aux choses qui dépendent de lui ?

    Abstract: Le présent ouvrage collectif Du partage au marché, regards croisés sur la circulation des savoirs est à tous égards un essai portant sur l'émergence d'une économie de la connaissance dans laquelle se pose la question de la marchandisation du savoir. Ce choix résulte du fait incontestable de changement de position des connaissances, qu'elles soient scientifiques ou qu'elles relèvent de la simple activité quotidienne. Il est clair d'abord que la connaissance scientifique est devenue la première des « matières premières ». Il est clair aussi que dans le monde du travail, les facteurs de la compétitivité s'expriment désormais en termes d'innovation et de management des connaissances. Il est clair, enfin, que, dans nos sociétés, la circulation de biens tels que les connaissances pratiques, professionnelles, scientifiques, mais aussi culturelles et éducatives, passe pour une part importante par le marché, tendance que refusent vigoureusement les « alter-mondialistes ». Comment, dès lors, dépasser ces constats pour comprendre la nature globale des dynamiques à l'œuvre, notamment dans les domaines de la recherche, de l'éducation et de la formation ? Economistes, sociologues, spécialistes des sciences de l'information et de la communication et des sciences de l'éducation ont mis en commun leurs réflexions sur ce sujet

    Abstract: Le fait autonymique est ce qui inscrit, dans les langues naturelles et sous diverses formes, la possibilité de « parler des mots ». Il est ainsi forcément présent dans les discours dont l’objet porte sur le langage ou qui s’interrogent sur la langue : dans les grammaires, les dictionnaires, ou les interactions dans les cours de langue, par exemple. Mais il surgit également dans les situations les plus diverses dès que les discours ne se contentent pas de parler des « choses » avec des mots, échangeant alors des mots à propos des mots : je ne comprends pas ce mot, comme vous dites, etc. Les études rassemblées dans ce volume analysent des pratiques langagières variées, des conversations familières, des dialogues de théâtre, des débats idéologiques, des journaux télévisés, des écrits psychanalytiques, des récits romanesques, etc., saisissant, au-delà de la variété des formes, les différents enjeux (didactiques, esthétiques, subjectifs, idéologiques, etc.) du fait autonymique. Il apparaît ainsi une « rhétorique de l’autonymie », qui se décline différemment selon les époques, les genres, les situations, les styles, et qui constitue désormais une « entrée » opératoire dans la description des discours

    Abstract: Franz Mayr was "one of the most interesting of catholic missionaries in Southern Africa" states Professor Joy Brain ("University of Durban") in the foreword she wrote for this first edition of his writings. Mayr was born in the Austrian province of Tyrol in 1865, educated as a priest in the diocese of Brixen and arrived in Natal (South Africa) at the beginning of May 1890, inspired by the work being done there by the Trappist-Monks led by Abbot Franz Pfanner. Mayr was physically handicapped and soon left the trappists but just to offer his services to the vicar apostolic of Natal, Bishop Charles Jolivet, who accepted him for work among the African population. He was sent to Pietermaritzburg then capital of the British colony to take over the care of the African parishioners to bring the "good news" to those who had never heard it. He founded several new mission-stations in Natal, Southern Rhodesia (present day Zimbabwe) and Swaziland where he was killed by a native robber in 1914. Mayr - a man of many talents - was a gifted linguist, studied and published books in several African languages. He was interested in cultural anthropology and collected information about African customs. It is now more than a hundred years since Franz Mayr began his work of evangelisation and scholarship in Southern Africa. Publishing his letters and articles - kept by several archives in Europe - should help to remember a man of the Habsburg-Monarchy who went to preach the gospel to the so called heathen of Africa. Although Austria or Austria-Hungary never owned colonies in Africa many of its inhabitants left their homes to work in catholic mission-stations around the continent. Several introductory chapters in this book explain the particular historical context which has to be put into cons ...
    Abstract: Als "einen der interessantesten katholischen Missionare im Südlichen Afrika" bezeichnet die Historikerin Joy Brain den Tiroler Priester Franz Mayr in ihrem Vorwort zu dieser umfangreichen Quellenedition. Die gesammelten, aus zahlreichen Archiven im In- und Ausland stammenden Schriften Mayrs, umfassen Briefe, Tagebucheinträge, Auszüge aus Chroniken, seine in Missions- und ethnologischen Zeitschriften und Tageszeitungen erschienenen Artikel sowie zahlreiche zeitgenössische Photographien. Obwohl unser Land bzw. die Habsburger-Monarchie selbst keine Kolonien auf diesem Kontinent besaß, wirkte doch eine beträchtliche Anzahl von ihnen u. a. in katholischen Stationen. Ihre Rolle in der Interaktion mit der einheimischen Bevölkerung und die Wirkung ihrer Missionsartikel auf das Afrikabild ist bisher nahezu unerforscht geblieben. Mayr war nur einer jener Österreicher und Österreicherinnen, die im Zuge der katholischen Missionseuphorie des 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts ausreisten, um Afrikaner und Afrikanerinnen zum Christentum zu "bekehren". Er wurde 1865 in der Osttiroler Gemeinde Nussdorf geboren und verbrachte seine Gymnasialzeit in Brixen, wo er auch das Priesterseminar absolvierte. Ab 1890 wirkte er in der ehemaligen britischen Kolonie Natal (Südafrika), in Südrhodesien (heutiges Zimbabwe) und in Swaziland, wo er 1914 einem Mordanschlag zum Opfer fiel. Unter seiner Leitung entstanden mehrere Missionsstationen u. a. das Projekt "Maryvale", ein Dorf für die einheimischen katholischen Zulus, heute ein Stadtteil von Pietermaritzburg. Über die vorhandenen Quellen erhält man Einblick in den Alltag des Missionars, Informationen über Hemmnisse seiner Arbeit und über Erfolgserlebnisse, seine Einstellung zur afrikanischen Bevölkerung, zur jeweiligen Kolonialregierung, zu ande ...

This report evaluates these arguments and asserts that a new approach is needed. This new approach offers a more comprehensive view of how the arts create private and public value, underscores the importance of the artsÂ' intrinsic benefits, and links the creation of benefits to arts involvement

    Abstract: Over the past decade, the United States has endeavored to increase its ability to detect, prevent, and respond to terrorist threats and incidents. The agriculture sector and the food industry in general, however, have received comparatively little attention with respect to protection against terrorist incidents. This study aims to expand the current debate on domestic homeland security by assessing the vulnerabilities of the agricultural sector and the food chain to a deliberate act of biological terrorism and exploring the likely outcomes of a successful attack

    Abstract: This report discusses a design for a prospective payment system (PPS) for inpatient rehabilitation facilities. Such systems pay providers a predetermined, fixed price (per day, per episode, or per case). Since the payment is independent of the amount of service provided, these systems are thought to create an incentive for efficient, cost-conscious care. A new assessment tool has been developed for PPS for rehabilitation facilities and this study provides an evaluation of it

Among their lessons are the importance of building the capacity to implement and sustain the reforms, adjusting for local culture and policy, ensuring quality control, providing the necessary infrastructure, and fostering a sense of ownership. The process is iterative and complex and requires cooperation among many actors who must ensure that the results align with goals

    Abstract: The Ford Foundation developed the Collaborating for Education Reform Initiative, providing grants to collaboratives in urban settings to improve the quality of teaching. Eight sites signed on, and the RAND Corporation assessed their progress. The authors found that, while none had met final goals, the collaboratives had varying degrees of success and some offered promise. By adopting such techniques as clear communication of expectations and involvement of school staff, collaboratives stand a better chance of success

    Series Statement: Film Culture in Transition
    Keywords: Film, TV & radio
    Abstract: For more than thirty years Farocki has been a filmmaker, documentarist, film-essayist and installation artist. What preoccupies him above all is not so much an image of life, but the life of images, as they surround us in the newspapers, the cinema, history books, user manuals, posters, CCTV footage and advertising. His vast oeuvre of some sixty films includes three feature films (Zwischen den Kriegen/Between the Wars, Etwas wird sichtbar: Vietnam/In Your Eyes: Vietnam, Wie Man sieht/As You See), essay films (e.g. Images of the World-Inscription of War), critical media-pieces, experimental work, children's features for television, historical film essays (e.g. on Peter Lorre), `learning-films' in the tradition of Brecht (e.g. Workers Leaving the Factory) and installation pieces (e.g. Still Life). In this monograph, Elsaesser approaches Farocki's work from different critical perspectives, as well as reflecting on his extraordinary biography. The volume is complemented by interviews, a selection of writings by Farocki and an annotated filmography. £22,50 $39,95 This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org

    Series Statement: Changing Welfare States
    Keywords: Politics & government
    Abstract: As a result of its political and economic turmoil for much of the postwar period, Italy was considered the "bad seed" in the European community. Harsh ideological divisions, chronic executive instability, inefficient bureaucracy, uneven socio-economic development, organized crime and unbalanced public finances all contributed to this negative perception. Yet a massive economic and social overhaul was launched in the 1990s as part of Italy's efforts to meet the famous Maastricht requirements in order to join the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). This book examines those processes and skillfully analyzes their consequences by exploring the effect they had on governmental and social actions. "Two of Italy's foremost public policy specialists, Ferrera and Gualmini are well placed to tell the story of how Italian political élites, long oriented towards buying off opposition and vested interests by expanding a bloated public debt,were finally confronted with reality by EMU membership criteria. Rescued by Europe is both a fascinating narrative of how governments, employers and unions responded to the EMU imperatives, and an in-depth analysis of how Italy's idiosyncratic labour markets and welfare system function, both for good and ill." Martin Rhodes Professor of European Public Policy, European University Institute, Florence, Italy Maurizio Ferrera is professor of social policy at the University of Pavia, Italy, and a member of the Italian National Commission on Social Exclusion. Elisabetta Gualmini is professor of administrative science at the University of Bologna, Italy. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org

    Abstract: The Netherlands played a remarkable role during the October War and the oil crisis of 1973. In secret, the Dutch government sent a substantial amount of ammunition and spare parts to Israel. The Dutch supported Israel also politically. Within the EC they vetoed a more pro-Arab policy. The Arab oil producing countries punished The Netherlands by imposing an oil embargo. The embargo against the Netherlands was intimidating. The Netherlands was dependent on Arab oil. The embargo seemed to threaten the Dutch position in the international oil sector. The government introduced several measures to reduce oil consumption. However, within two months it became clear that oil continued to arrive in Rotterdam. There was in fact no oil shortage in the Netherlands. The Netherlands even profited from the oil crisis. The energy situation in The Netherlands was much better than in other West European countries. The Dutch, therefore, rejected French plans for a more interventionist energy policy. Atlanticism and liberalism were the key words of the Dutch policy during the oil crisis. This book is the result of intensive research in all relevant Dutch archives. The authors had free access to all the files they wanted to see. They also used resources from other countries involved. Many politicians were interviewed. The result is a surprising analysis of the oil crisis of 1973, and of the Dutch role in particular. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org

    Abstract: Seit 1998 sind wettbewerblich organisierte Energiemärkte Wirklichkeit geworden. Vor allem die Initiativen der Europäischen Union haben dazu geführt, daß die alten Monopolstrukturen aufgelöst worden sind und sich die Anbieter auf Strom- und in Zukunft auch auf Gasmärkten der Konkurrenz stellen müssen. Doch wie erfolgreich waren die bisherigen Liberalisierungsbemühungen? Die Meinungen gehen hier auseinander. Für die Arbeitsgruppe Wettbewerb im Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschuss des Vereins für Socialpolitik war dies der Anlass, im Rahmen ihrer Jahrestagung 2003 die bisherigen Liberalisierungserfahrungen zu bilanzieren und eine Diskussion möglicher Zukunftsperspektiven zu führen. Carl-Christian von Weizsäcker, Universität Köln, zeigt auf, inwieweit die Wettbewerbspotentiale auf Energiemärkten bereits ausgeschöpft sind und wo die ökonomische Theorie noch Nachholbedarf sieht. Die Erfahrungen eines der großen Unternehmen im deutschen Strommarkt resümiert Dietmar Kuhnt, ehemals Vorstandsvorsitzender der RWE AG. Michael Schöneich, Hauptgeschäftsführer des Verbandes kommunaler Unternehmen, legt die Chancen und Risiken kommunaler Unternehmen dar. Die europäische Dimension der Thematik beleuchtet Eberhard Meller, Hauptgeschäftsführer des Verbandes der Elektrizitätswirtschaft. Eine Energiebörse spielt eine wichtige Rolle für die Funktionsfähigkeit liberalisierter Energiemärkte, wie der Vorstand der European Energy Exchange Leipzig, Carlhans Uhle, berichtet. Bernd Rudolph, Vorstand der Thüga AG, setzt sich näher mit dem Gasmarkt auseinander und zeigt die damit verbundenen politischen und unternehmerischen Herausforderungen auf. Alfred Richmann, Hauptgeschäftsführer des Verbandes der Industriellen Energie- und Kraftwirtschaft, referiert die Wirklichkeit auf den Strom- und Gasmärkten aus seiner Sicht. Robert Werner, Vorstand der im Markt für grünen Strom tätigen Greenpeace energy eG, arbeitet die Erfahrungen seines Unternehmens auf. Die Einordnung der Praxisreferate in die Wettbewerbstheorie und -politik nimmt Carl-Christian von Weizsäcker in seinem wissenschaftlichen Abschlussreferat vor. Der Band bietet Wissenschaftlern und Praktikern einen Überblick der aktuellen Wettbewerbssituation und Interessenlage auf den Strom- und Gasmärkten

    Abstract: Der vorliegende Band enthält die überarbeiteten und ausschussintern - anonym - begutachteten Beiträge eines großen Teiles der Vorträge, die während zweier Sitzungen des Ausschusses "Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik" im Verein für Socialpolitik gehalten worden sind. Die Sitzungen fanden in den Jahren 2002 und 2003 in Erfurt und Oldenburg statt. In diesem Ausschuss diskutierten Volks- und Betriebswirte, Philosophen und Theologen beider Konfessionen sowohl theoretische wie auch praxisbezogene Themen mit wirtschafts- und unternehmensethischen Bezügen. Die Beiträge des nunmehr vorliegenden siebten Bandes der "Wirtschaftsethischen Perspektiven" enthalten mit Themen zur Gentechnik und zur medizinischen Ethik einen Schwerpunkt (Steinvorth, Neumärker, Staffelbach und Pohl-Eckerstorfer, Aumann und Gaertner). Darüber hinaus wurde aber auch erneut ein weites Spektrum an Fragestellungen behandelt: Methodische Grundsatzfragen der Wirtschafts- und der Unternehmensethik (Sautter, Homann, Pies, Suchanek), Probleme der Messung von Ungleichheiten (Ebert), Verteilungsfragen (Sturn) sowie empirische Fragen der Unternehmensethik (Tebroke). Insgesamt gesehen zeugt der Band einerseits von dem Bemühen des Ausschusses, die Wirtschaftsethik in die moderne Ökonomik zurückzuholen, und andererseits Fragen anderer Disziplinen mit ökonomischem Bezug mit den Methoden der Ökonomik zu behandeln

    Abstract: As this critical, independent history, which ends with the ordination of one of the first women bishops in the nation, shows, Utah Episcopalians have had, despite small numbers, a remarkably eventful and significant history, which included complex relations with Mormons and Native Americans, early experience of women and homosexuals in the ministry, and a fascinating set of bishops. Among the latter were Daniel Tuttle, a leading figure in Episcopal history; Christian socialist and Social Gospel proponent Frank Spencer Spalding; and Paul Jones, forced to resign because of his pacifism during WWI. Frederick Quinn, an Episcopal priest and historian, is adjunct professor of history at Utah State University and adjunct professor of political science at the University of Utah. His previous books include Democracy at Dawn, Notes From Poland and Points East, a TLS International Book of the Year, and African Saints, Martyrs, and Holy People, a Black Catholic Congress Book of the Month. A former chaplain at Washington National Cathedral, he holds a doctorate in history from the University of California at Los Angeles

As time passes, however, decisionmakers have begun to ask whether and how such information specifically helps potential attackers, including terrorists, to select U.S. homeland sites and prepare for better attacks. The research detailed in this book aims to assist decisionmakers tasked with the responsibility of choosing which geospatial information to make available and which to restrict

    Abstract: The central issue Bush finds in these works is how their authors have dealt with the authority of Mormon Church leaders. As she puts it in her preface, "I use the phrase 'faithful transgression' to describe moments in the texts when each writer, explicitly or implicitly, commits herself in writing to trust her own ideas and authority over official religious authority while also conceiving of and depicting herself to be a 'faithful' member of the Church." Bush recognizes her book as her own act of faithful transgression. Writing it involved wrestling, she states, "with my own deeply ingrained religious beliefs and my equally compelling education in feminist theories that mean to liberate and empower women." Faithful Transgressions examines a remarkable group of authors and their highly readable and entertaining books. In producing the first significant book-length study of Mormon women's autobiographical writing, Bush rides a wave of memoir publishing and academic interest in autobiography and other life narratives. As she elucidates these works in relation to the religious tradition that played a major role in shaping them, she not only positions them in relation to feminist theory and current work on women's life writings but ties them to the long literary tradition of spiritual autobiography

    Abstract: Momentous events since September 11, 2001-Operation Enduring Freedom, the global war on terrorism, and the war in Iraq-have dramatically altered the political environment of the Muslim world. Many of the forces influencing this environment, however, are the products of trends that have been at work for many decades. This book examines the major dynamics that drive changes in the religio-political landscape of the Muslim world-a vast and diverse region that stretches from Western Africa through the Middle East to the Southern Philippines and includes Muslim communities and diasporas throughout the world-and draws the implications of these trends for global security and U.S. and Western interests. It presents a typology of ideological tendencies in the different regions of the Muslim world and identifies the factors that produce religious extremism and violence. It assesses key cleavages along sectarian, ethnic, regional, and national lines and examines how those cleavages generate challenges and opportunities for the United States. Finally, the authors identify possible strategies and political and military options for the United States to pursue in response to changing conditions in this critical and volatile part of the world

    Abstract: As the war on terrorism wages on, our nation's policymakers will continue to face the challenge of assessing threats that various terrorist groups pose to the U.S. homeland and our interests abroad. As part of the RAND Corporation's yearlong "Thinking Strategically About Combating Terrorism" project, the authors of this report develop a way to assess and analyze the danger posed by various terrorist organizations around the world. The very nature of terrorism creates a difficulty in predicting new and emerging threats; however, by establishing these types of parameters, the report creates a fresh foundation of threat analysis on which future counterterrorism strategy may build

    Abstract: This is American history told through the stories of an atypical, for Utah, region. Castle Valley is roughly conterminous with two counties, Carbon and Emery, which together formed a rural, industrial enclave in a mostly desert environment behind the mountain range that borders Utah's principal corridor of settlement. In Castle Valley, coal mining and the railroad attracted diverse, multiethnic communities and a fair share of historic characters, from Butch Cassidy, who stole its largest payroll, to Mother Jones, who helped organize its workers against its mining companies. Among the last major segments of the state to be settled, it was also a generally poor region that stretched the capabilities of people to scratch a living from a harsh landscape. The people of Castle Valley experienced complex, unusual combinations of both social cohesion and conflict, but they struggled through poverty, labor disputes, major mining disasters, and other challenges to build communities whose stories reflected the historical course of the nation as a whole. In order to convey her subject's both unique and representative qualities, Nancy Taniguchi has written an epic history that is not just local history, but American history written locally. Nancy J. Taniguchi, who lived for thirteen years in Castle Valley and was previously on the faculty of the College of Eastern Utah in Price, is professor of history at California State University, Stanislaus. She is the author of numerous published articles in mining, legal, women's, western, and Utah history and of one book, Necessary Fraud: Progressive Reform and Utah Coal

    Abstract: This collection of essays is about tourism and social, political, and economic relations in coastal locations in various parts of the world. The starting point of each chapter is the ethnographic study of one particular place. However, the authors are also concerned with wider regional, national, and global forces which shape and influence the local economies and societies under review. Although most of the essays focus on the European coastline, the book is intended to have implications for other geographical areas. In most parts of the world, coastal settlements and contexts are changing rapidly and markedly. These contexts are routinely characterised by conflict between different interest groups contesting the ownership and control of the foreshore and its resources. One of the threads running through the volume is that coastal regions are often sites of fishing and related 'traditional' activities. The chapters discuss the relationships between traditional stakeholders, such as fishermen and local residents, and new stakeholders including new residents, second-home owners, tourists and tourism property developers, and fish farm managers as they vie for status, influence, and ultimately for space on the foreshore. The underlying preoccupation of the volume as a whole is the extent of penetration and transformation resulting from the onward march of capitalism and the market system in the coastal locations studied.

    Abstract: The Last Great American Picture Show brings together essays by scholars and writers who chart the changing evaluations of the American cinema of the 1970s, sometimes referred to as the decade of the lost generation, but now more and more recognized as the first New Hollywood, without which the cinema of Francis Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, Tim Burton or Quentin Tarantino could not have come into existence. Identified with directors such as Sam Peckinpah, Arthur Penn, Peter Bogdanovich, Monte Hellman, Bob Rafelson, Hal Ashby, Robert Altman and James Toback, American cinema of the 1970s is long overdue for this re-evaluation. Many of the films have not only come back from oblivion, as the benchmark for new directorial talents. They have also become cult films in the video shops and the classics of film courses all over the world. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org

    Abstract: Does the fact that the majority of Turkey's population is Muslim form a hindrance to its EU membership? According to a recent policy advice by the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR), the answer is an adamant 'no'. Why is this issue of Turkish Islam relevant? After all, Turkey should not be judged by standards other than the Copenhagen criteria. The answer is that the public debate outside 'Brussels' will not be limited to these official criteria. Many people in Europe are worried about Turkey's 'Islam factor'. They believe that Muslims are (potentially violent) fundamentalists who want to establish a theocracy. By explicitly examining the role of Turkish Islam and Muslims in Turkey, the WRR wants to contribute to a well-informed European public debate on Turkey's accession.

    Abstract: In Process and Reality and other works, Alfred North Whitehead struggled to come to terms with the impact the new science of quantum mechanics would have on metaphysics. This ambitious book is the first extended analysis of the intricate relationships between relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and Whitehead's cosmology. Michael Epperson illuminates the intersection of science and philosophy in Whitehead's work-and details Whitehead's attempts to fashion an ontology coherent with quantum anomalies. Including a nonspecialist introduction to quantum mechanics, Epperson adds an essential new dimension to our understanding of Whitehead-and of the constantly enriching encounter between science and philosophy in our century

    Abstract: Programs in technical writing, technical communication, and/or professional communication have recently grown in enrollment as the demand among employers for formally prepared technical writers and editors has grown. In response, scholarly treatments of the subject and the teaching of technical writing are also burgeoning, and the body of research and theory being published in this field is many times larger and more accessible than it was even a decade ago. Although many theoretical and disciplinary perspectives can potentially inform technical communication teaching, administration, and curriculum development, the actual influences on the field's canonical texts have traditionally come from a rather limited range of disciplines. Innovative Approaches to Teaching Technical Communication brings together a wide range of scholars/teachers to expand the existing canon

    Abstract: Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, critics have charged that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, while qualified to investigate terrorist incidents after the fact, is not well equipped enough to adequately gather and assess information to prevent attacks. More intrinsically, many believe that given a predominant and deeply rooted law enforcement and prosecutorial culture, the bureau may not be able to change operational focus toward dedicated counterterrorism intelligence gathering and analysis. To better inform debate, researchers analyzed the domestic security structures of four allied countries--the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Australia--weighing both their positive and negative aspects.

    Abstract: Military operations in urban areas are among the most complex challenges confronting the U.S. Army. Compared to a number of other nations, the Army has relatively less experience operating in this environment. To that end, this monograph analyzes sustained campaigns of urban terrorism in Sri Lanka, India, and Pakistan, identifying key innovations of the militant organizations. It also details the three states' responses to the threats, noting successful as well as unsuccessful efforts

    Abstract: At the 2003 "Rock the Vote" debate, one of the questions posed by a student to the eight Democratic candidates for the presidential nomination was "have you ever used marijuana?" Amazingly, all but one of the candidates voluntarily answered the question. Add to this example the multiple ways in which we now see public intrusion into private lives (security cameras, electronic access to personal data, scanning and "wanding" at the airport) or private self-exposure in public forums (cell phones, web cams, confessional talk shows, voyeuristic "reality" TV). That matters so private could be treated as legitimate-in some cases even vital-for public discourse indicates how intertwined the realms of private and public have become in our era. Reverse examples exist as well. Around the world, public authorities look the other way while individual rights are abused--calling it a private matter--or officials appeal to sectarian morés to justify discrimination in public policies. The authors of The Private, the Public, and the Published feel that scholarship needs to explore and understand this phenomenon, and needs to address it in the college classroom. There are consequences of conflating public and private, they argue--consequences that have implications especially for what is known as the public good. The changing distinctions between "private" and "public," and the various practices of private and public expression, are explored in these essays with an eye toward what they teach us about those consequences and implications

    Abstract: In Process This, Nancy DeJoy argues that even recent revisions to composition studies, cultural studies, service learning, and social process movements--continue to repress the subjects and methodologies that should be central, especially at the level of classroom practice. Designed to move student discourses beyond the classroom, these approaches nonetheless continue to position composition students (and teachers) as mere consumers of the discipline. This means that the subjects, methodologies, and theory/practice relationships that define the field are often absent in composition classrooms. Arguing that the world inside and outside of the academy cannot be any different if the profession stays the same, DeJoy creates a pedagogy and a plan for faculty development that revisions the prewrite/write/rewrite triad to open spaces for participation and contribution to all members of first-year writing classrooms

    Abstract: Even before September 11, 2001, threat assessments suggested that the United States should prepare to respond to terrorist attacks inside its borders. This monograph examines the use of military medical assets to support civil authorities in the aftermath of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or conventional high explosives attack inside the United States. The authors focus on key questions, including under what circumstances military medical assets could be requested and what assets are likely to be requested

    Abstract: In a provocative book-length essay, Patricia Lynne argues that most programmatic assessment of student writing in U.S. public and higher education is conceived in the terms of mid-20th century positivism. Since composition as a field had found its most compatible home in constructivism, she asks, why do compositionists import a conceptual frame for assessment that is incompatible with composition theory? By casting this as a clash of paradigms, Lynne is able to highlight the ways in which each theory can and cannot influence the shape of assessment within composition. She laments, as do many in composition, that the objectively oriented paradigm of educational assessment theory subjugates and discounts the very social constructionist principles that empower composition pedagogy. Further, Lynne criticizes recent practice for accommodating the big business of educational testing-especially for capitulating to the discourse of positivism embedded in terms like "validity" and "reliability." These terms and concepts, she argues, have little theoretical significance within composition studies, and their technical and philosophical import are downplayed by composition assessment scholars. There is a need, Lynne says, for terms of assessment that are native to composition. To open this needed discussion within the field, she analyzes cutting-edge assessment efforts, including the work of Broad and Haswell, and she advances a set of alternate terms for evaluating assessment practices, a set of terms grounded in constructivism and composition. Coming to Terms is ambitious and principled, and it takes a controversial stand on important issues. This strong new volume in assessment theory will be of serious interest to assessment specialists and their students, to composition theorists, and to those now mounting assessments in their own programs

    Abstract: Die hier abgedruckten Beiträge lassen sich in drei große Themengruppen einordnen. In der ersten Themengruppe mit den Arbeiten von v. Weizsäcker, Beckenbach und Hanappi stehen theoretische und normative Grundsatzfragen der Evolutorischen Ökonomik im Vordergrund. Wie können normative Bewertungen vorgenommen werden bzw. wie kann "Fortschritt" definiert werden, wenn man - wie in der Evolutorischen Ökonomik - der neoklassischen Wohlfahrtsökonomik grundsätzlich kritisch gegenübersteht? Dies ist eines der zentralen Probleme, mit denen sich die Evolutorische Ökonomik seit langem auseinander setzt. Carl Christian von Weizsäcker entwickelt in seinem Beitrag einen eigenen Vorschlag für eine evolutionäre Wohlfahrtsökonomik. Ein weiteres Grundlagenproblem der Evolutorischen Ökonomik stellt die Frage nach dem geeigneten Handlungsmodell dar, der Frank Beckenbach in seinem Aufsatz nachgeht. Gerhard Hanappi setzt sich mit grundsätzlichen Fragen über das Selbstverständnis und die Methodologie der Evolutorischen Ökonomik auseinander. In der zweiten Themengruppe werden mit den Beiträgen von Rainer Voßkamp und Carsten Schreiter grundsätzliche Fragestellungen zur evolutorischen Wachstumstheorie und Makroökonomik aufgegriffen, wobei Voßkamp ein komplexes evolutionsökonomisches Wachstumsmodell in der Tradition von Nelson/Winter vorstellt und Schreiters Aufsatz als ein Beitrag zur Entwicklung einer Evolutorischen Makroökonomik verstanden werden kann. Mit Fragestellungen im Schnittfeld von Institutionen und Evolutorischer Ökonomik beschäftigt sich eine dritte Themengruppe. Die Theorie der Entstehung und des Wandels von Recht ist bisher relativ wenig ausgearbeitet. Martina Eckardt untersucht kritisch, welchen Beitrag institutionen- und evolutionsökonomische Ansätze für die Erklärung der Erzeugung und Verbreitung von Rechtsinnovationen, für Aussagen über die Akteure, Mechanismen und Determinanten des Rechtswandels sowie zur Frage der Richtung des Rechtswandels leisten können. Fritz Rahmeyer geht der Frage nach, inwieweit sich innerhalb der Evolutorischen Ökonomik bereits eine eigenständige evolutorische Theorie der Unternehmung entwickelt hat, und Peter Weise untersucht, inwieweit das aus der Physik stammende Konzept der Selbstorganisation für die Evolutorische Ökonomik genutzt werden könnte.

    Abstract: Den Humanressourcen einer Volkswirtschaft kommt im globalen Wettbewerb und mit stetig schnelleren Innovationszyklen eine immer größere Bedeutung im Hinblick auf die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Nationen und Unternehmen zu. Nationale Bildungseinrichtungen stellen einen wichtigen Faktor zur Schaffung und Erhaltung des erforderlichen Humankapitals dar. Aufgrund der seit vielen Jahren schwierigen öffentlichen Haushaltslage haben die Bildungsbudgets mit den gestiegenen Anforderungen aber kaum Schritt halten können, so dass einer effizienten Verwendung der eingesetzten Mittel eine immer stärkere Beachtung zukommt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Evaluation von Bildungseinrichtungen allgemein und von Schulen und Hochschulen im Besonderen immer wichtiger. Spätestens seit den ersten Ergebnissen der PISA-Studie ist aber auch die Erfordernis von wissenschaftlich untermauerten und ökonometrisch zuverlässigen Evaluationen unübersehbar, damit nicht aus deskriptiven Befunden gezogene vorschnelle Schlussfolgerungen mehr Schaden als Nutzen anrichten. Deshalb hat der bildungsökonomische Ausschuss des Vereins für Socialpolitik sich auf seiner 28. Sitzung der Evaluation von Schulen und Hochschulen aus ökonomischer Perspektive angenommen. Die Beiträge basieren auf Vorträgen der Jahrestagung 2003, die auf Einladung von Prof. Dr. Andrea Schenker-Wicki (organisatorische Vorbereitung) und Prof. Dr. Uschi Backes-Gellner (inhaltliche Vorbereitung) am 27./28.03.2003 an der Universität Zürich stattfand. Alle Texte wurden - wie in den vorhergehenden Jahren auch - einer doppelten Begutachtung und entsprechenden Revisionen unterzogen. Während sich die ersten drei Beiträge auf die Evaluation von Schulleistungen konzentrieren, beschäftigen sich die letzten drei mit der Messung von Lehr- und Forschungsleistungen von Universitäten. Dabei widmen sich die Autoren nicht nur Fragen der Messung von Schul- und Hochschulleistungen, sondern auch den organisatorischen und sozioökonomischen Einflussfaktoren variierender Bildungsleistungen. Außerdem werden die makroökonomischen Konsequenzen variierender Bildungsqualität - insbesondere auch im Vergleich zu rein schüler- oder schuljahresbezogenen Indikatoren - erstmals detailliert empirisch analysiert

    Abstract: Der Tagungsband 2003 des Finanzwissenschaftlichen Ausschusses zum Thema "Finanzpolitik und Umverteilung" bietet einen kompetenten Überblick über neuere Entwicklungen auf dem politisch aktuellen Forschungsfeld der Umverteilungspolitik, den in dieser synoptischen und kompakten Form Fachzeitschriften und Monographien nicht bieten können. (http://www.socialpolitik.org/aussch.htm bietet eine Dokumentation der Tagungsbände der letzten Jahre.) Johann Brunner (Universität Linz) analysiert aus verteilungspolitischer Perspektive die Theorie der Optimalbesteuerung und deren Erweiterungsansätze wie das Zusammenwirken von direkter und indirekter Besteuerung, dynamische Modelle mit dynastischer und überlappender Generationenstruktur sowie die Einbeziehung von Vermögenstransfers. Giacomo Corneo (Universität Osnabrück) analysiert das individuelle Verhalten von Bürgern gegenüber öffentlichen Umverteilungsprogrammen und betont die Relevanz von Altruismus, Streben nach gesellschaftlichem Status und von Vertrauen in die Fairness von Marktergebnissen für die Ausbildung von Umverteilungspräferenzen. Diese Hypothesen werden in neueren Untersuchungen auch für Deutschland bestätigt. Wolfgang Peters, Silke Gottschalk und Christine Schuler (Universität Viadrina Frankfurt a. d. Oder) untersuchen die Frage, ob die Globalisierung Ursache für eine Verringerung der Steuer- und Abgabenbelastung und einen schleichenden Sozialabbau ist. Im theoretischen Teil ihrer Arbeit entwickeln sie Hypothesen über die Auswirkungen der Globalisierung auf das Wählerverhalten und die nationale Steuerpolitik, die sie dann empirisch überprüfen. Dietmar Wellisch (Universität Hamburg) analysiert an Hand eines theoretischen Modells die Auswirkungen von Zuwanderung auf die Verteilung. Bürger, die endogene Bildungsentscheidungen treffen, werden trotz verschärfter Konkurrenz auf dem Arbeitsmarkt bereit sein, die Grenzen für Migranten zu öffnen, werden aber gleichzeitig die Finanzierung ihres Bildungssystems auf die Immigranten überwälzen, die in ihrem Gastland keine Bildungsleistungen in Anspruch nehmen können

    Abstract: Die Europäische Union steht vor großen Herausforderungen. Erweiterung und Vertiefung der Union stehen auf der Politikagenda. Ob die Vorschläge des Europäischen Verfassungskonvents für eine grundlegende Erneuerung des Unionsvertrages diesbezüglich zukunftsfähig sind, bedarf einer intensiven Diskussion. In den Beiträgen des vorliegenden Bandes stehen Probleme speziell der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung im Mittelpunkt. Obwohl der Begriff der Wirtschaftsverfassung nicht eindeutig definiert ist, sind juristische und vor allem verfassungs- und institutionenökonomische Analysen von Belang. Dabei spannen die Beiträge einen Bogen über die wichtigsten Problembereiche. Grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu einer europäischen Verfassung führen zu den Fragen: Benötigen wir überhaupt eine Verfassung für Europa? Wie ist das Verhältnis zwischen den Nationalstaaten und der Union zu regeln? Freiheit, Bürgersouveränität und Subsidiarität - als eine spezielle Ausprägung des Prinzips der komparativen Wettbewerbsvorteile - spielen in der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung eine zentrale Rolle. Sie ergänzen sich mit Überlegungen zur europäischen Finanzverfassung, in der auch die Frage nach den institutionellen Ebenen gestellt wird, die für die Bereitstellung und Finanzierung unterschiedlicher Güter in der Union verantwortlich sind. Gefragt wird auch, ob eine Koordination der nationalen Arbeitsmarktpolitiken auf EU-Ebene sinnvoll ist, oder ob die Bekämpfung der Arbeitslosigkeit im nationalen Politikbereich verbleiben sollte. Zudem: Welche konstitutionen- und institutionenökonomischen Dimensionen hat der Stabilitäts- und Wachstumspakt? Behandelt wird auch das Problem, ob im europäischen Strukturwandel ein Konflikt existiert zwischen ökonomischer Effizienz und sozialer Sicherheit. Vor dem Hintergrund der Theorie optimaler Jurisdiktionen stellt sich die Frage nach der optimalen Länderzahl für die EU-Erweiterung. Optimalitätsprobleme aufgrund der Erweiterung des Euro-Raumes werden hinsichtlich der Entscheidungseffizienz des Rats der Europäischen Zentralbank erörtert. Schließlich behandelt der Band spezielle Aspekte der Subsidiarität sowie der kollektiven Marktbeherrschung in der Wettbewerbspolitik innerhalb der Union

    Abstract: When the end of the Castro era arrives, the successor government and the Cuban people will need to answer certain questions: How is Castro's more than four-decade rule likely to affect a post-Castro Cuba? What will be the political, social, and economic challenges Cuba will confront? What are the impediments to Cuba's economic development and democratic transition? The authors examine Castro's political legacies, Cuba's generational and racial divisions, its demographic predicament, the legacy of a centralized economy, and the need for industrial restructuring

    Abstract: Viet Nam has seen consistent rapid economic growth and impressive declines in poverty since it initiated its Doi Moi economic reforms in the late 1980s. Viet Nam has taken a selective, step-by-step approach to reform—an approach often criticised by proponents of the Washington Consensus. That this approach has been so successful has come as something of a surprise to much of the international community. Analysing closely aspects of Viet Nam's reform process, enterprise development, income growth and poverty alleviation, Viet Nam: a transition tiger? argues that Viet Nam's remarkable development is not readily explained by the more orthodox versions of the Washington Consensus. Successful policy is not built on mechanistic replication of some general reform blueprint, but on responding pragmatically to specific national circumstances. Government policy has had an impact on economic performance but economic experience has also guided the formulation of economic policy. Faced with increasingly complex economic conditions, Vietnamese policymakers will need to rely more than ever on their flexibility and pragmatism if Viet Nam's remarkable economic performance is to be sustained

    Abstract: In this heavily illustrated book, Mike Milligan has captured the still developing story of one of those remote, but no longer secluded, corners of the Colorado Plateau. Upstream from Moab on the Colorado River, near the Colorado state line, there is a relatively short, deep canyon that has become one of the most popular river-running destinations in America. The canyon is known as Westwater. Its popularity is largely due to the thrill provided by one of the most dangerous and challenging stretches of white water on the Colorado---Skull Rapid. Near the head of the canyon are the remnants of the tiny town of Westwater, which has had an interesting and eventful history of its own, partly because of the river and canyon, partly because of the railroad that passes through it, and partly because of its remoteness. It has attracted over the years more than its fair share of colorful characters---government explorers and agents, boosters and get-rich-quick dreamers, cattle and sheep men, outlaws and bootleggers, and, of course, river runners. Mike Milligan, who came to know the area as a river guide, has written a thorough history of this out-of-the-way place. While it has a colorful history that makes its story interesting in and of itself, Westwater's significance derives more from a phenomenon of the modern West-thousands of recreational river runners. They have pushed a backwater place into the foreground of modern popular culture in the West. Westwater seems to represent one common sequence in western history: the late opening of unexplored territories; sporadic, often unsuccessful attempts to develop them; renewed obscurity when development doesn't succeed; their attraction of a marginal society of misfits or loners; and modern rediscovery due to new cultural motives, especially outdoors recreation, which has brought a great number of people into thousands of remote corners of the West

    Abstract: Las crisis de Líbano y ahora la de Iraq ponen de manifiesto la dificultad de construir Estado nacionales en Medio Oriente. A comienzos del siglo XX Gran Bretaña, en Mesopotamia y Palestina y Francia, en Siria y Líbano, se arrogaron el mandato de la Liga de las Naciones para intentar trasplantar la democracia y los valores occidentales al mosaico de comunidades, sectas y grupos étnicos de la región. El objetivo era "civilizarlos", llevándolos del sistema comunitario del Imperio Otomano a integrar Estados modernos, democráticos y estables. Este libro analiza los encuentros y desencuentros de las comunidades confesionales (maronitas, drusos, cristianos, orientales, sunitas, shiitas, alawitas) inmersas en el enfrentamiento milenario del cristianismo y el Islam, y sujetas a la constante interferencia de poderes hegemónicos externos. El objetivo es desmontar las historias superpuestas de Líbano. La cuestionable restauración del Estado libanés, tras las intervenciones de Israel y Siria en los años ochenta y noventa, debería servir de advertencia a la que ahora intentará Estados Unidos en Iraq, mientras políticos, diplomáticos y militares, propios y ajenos de la región, continúen evadiendo o ignorando la realidad comunitaria confesional y la identidad fragmentaria de Medio Oriente, difícilmente podrán encontrar soluciones viables y duraderas para los conflictos de la región

    Abstract: La musique de Debussy — cet art fait de « touches successives reliées par un lien mystérieux » — interroge les arcanes de la nature pour mieux en retenir la singulière temporalité traduction d'un jeu de formes suggérées qui semblent prendre corps un instant et préfèrent néanmoins s'esquiver. Ce langage est celui d'un visionnaire, sur les pas de Baudelaire et de Poe. Nombreuses sont les configurations esthétiques qui se créent autour de Debussy (Schaeffner, Boulez, Pesson) : elles démontrent l'actualité de sa pensée compositionnelle et invitent à dépasser une catégorisation en termes de symbolisme, d'impressionnisme ou de modernité. Ce collectif où dialoguent musicologie, composition et interprétation présente une réflexion générale sur la multiplicité de l'art debussyste, aux fondements de la musique du XXe siècle

    Abstract: The ancient Dormition and Assumption traditions, a remarkably diverse collection of narratives recounting the end of the Virgin Mary's life, first emerge into historical view from an uncertain past during the fifth and sixth centuries. Initially appearing in Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, these legends spread rapidly throughout the Christian world, resulting in over 60 different narratives from before the tenth century preserved in nine ancient languages. This study presents a detailed analysis of the earliest traditions of Mary's death, including the evidence of the earliest Marian liturgical traditions and related archaeological evidence as well as the numerous narrative sources. Most of the early narratives belong to one of several distinctive literary families, whose members bear evidence of close textual relations. Many previous scholars have attempted to arrange the different narrative types in a developmental typology, according to which the story of Mary's death was transformed to reflect various developments in early Christian Mariology. Nevertheless, evidence to support these theories is wanting, and the present state of our knowledge suggests that the narrative diversity of the early Dormition traditions arose from several independent ‘origins’ rather than through ordered evolution from a single original type. Likewise, scholars have often asserted a connection between the origin of the Dormition traditions and resistance to the council of Chalcedon, but the traditions themselves make this an extremely unlikely proposal. While most of the traditions cannot be dated much before the fifth century, a few of the narratives were almost certainly in composed by the third century, if not even earlier. These narratives in particular bear evidence of contact with gnostic Christianity. Several of the most important narratives are translated in appendices, most appearing in English for the first time

    Abstract: Il y a une grande esthétique romantique, c'est celle de Karl W. E Solger (1780-1819) — une esthétique qui accepte la fragilité du beau et fait de l'ironie l'attitude de l'artiste moderne. Philologue (il œuvra à une somme sur la mythologie grecque et sa traduction des tragédies de Sophocle, adaptée pour la scène par Goethe, reste une référence) et philosophe (il occupa la chaire de philosophie à Berlin durant l'interrègne entre Fichte et Hegel), Solger installe les arts dans un rôle propédeutique. Sans renoncer à la rigueur d'un système, il privilégie la mise à l'épreuve de la pensée dans l'entretien, restituant dans ses écrits la force de son amitié et la vivacité de ses échanges intellectuels avec le poète Ludwig Tieck. Un dialogue, Erwin. Quatre entretiens sur le beau et l'art, paru en 1815, des Cours d'esthétique rédigés en 1819 et publiés dix années plus tard, une longue critique des Cours sur l'art et la littérature dramatiques d'A. W. Schlegel, une correspondance largement inédite, tel est l'essentiel de l'oeuvre esthétique de Solger que ce volume propose pour la première fois en français

    Abstract: Au terme de leurs études, les étudiants sont aptes à embrasser différentes professions scientifiques ou techniques et, parmi elles, celles de la recherche. Pour comprendre les choix entre les types de carrière vers lesquels se dirigent le bachelier, il importe de connaître ces derniers, de distinguer les différents cursus qui s'offrent à eux et de rapporter ces enjeux aux conditions générales de production et de recrutement des diplômés. Pour baser ces connaissances sur des données validées, par-delà les seules affirmations fréquemment répétées d'une désaffection pour les sciences, le groupe constitué de membres de l'Académie des sciences, en collaboration avec les services rectoraux de l'académie de Paris, a examiné différentes données statistiques nationales (France métropolitaine) et analysé, de façon plus approfondie encore, celles relatives à l'Ile-de-France. Les conclusions de ce travail remettent en question un certain nombre d'idées reçues

    Abstract: Visões imaginárias da cidade da Bahia é um trabalho surpreendente. Ele rompe com a aridez de uma geografia clérica, seguindo a orientação de Milton Santos, para o qual "o maior erro que a geografia cometeu foi o de querer ser ciência, em vez de ciência e arte". A proposta dos autores é a de retornar ao pensamento sartreano, tão caro a Milton. Pensamento que expressa em Esboço de uma teoria das emoções, no qual "... uma emoção remete ao que ela significa. E, o que ela significa é a totalidade das relações da realidade-humana com o mundo", através da "...queda brusca da consciência no mágico". (Retirado da apresentação do livro)

    Abstract: Selon une boutade d’Amartya Sen, la théorie économique traite l’homo œconomicus comme un rational idiot : c’est parce qu’il est un calculateur rationnel qu’il produit dans maintes circonstances des résultats indésirables, non seulement d’un point de vue collectif, mais même de son propre point de vue. En outre, ce modèle rend inintelligible une multitude de comportements pourtant banals, comme le vote. S’inspirant de la boutade de Sen, on peut avancer que la sociologie, la science politique, la psychosociologie et l’anthropologie prêtent souvent a contrario à leur homo sociologicus les traits d’un irrational idiot, croyant ce qu’il croit ou faisant ce qu’il fait sous l’effet de forces sociales et culturelles, de forces psychologiques ou de forces biologiques : par exemple parce que c’est ce qu’on croit ou fait autour de lui. Les deux modèles ont un intérêt scientifique qui transcende les disciplines particulières. Cela explique qu’ils soient solidement installés. Mais ils sont souvent utilisés à contre-emploi. Or, comme l’ont enseigné les plus grands, les sciences sociales ne sont pas condamnées à un dilemme porteur à la fois d’inefficacité scientifique et d’une représentation schizophrénique de l’acteur social

    Abstract: The volume presents a key to understanding the current distribution of arable lands in Italy (based on an analysis conducted on 1994-1997 data) in relation to community disciplines and future prospects. In Italy, on over 14 million hectares of UAA (Usable Agricultural Area), about 57% is characterised by arable land. The importance of these crops, in addition to this visible global figure, is also confirmed at the level of individual production structures. In the short-term future, however, it is the arable lands that will be fully affected by the need to reduce surpluses and by the issues related to the environmental sustainability of production systems

    Abstract: The relationships between adults and children requires the presence of two parties involved, but one of the two, the children, has all the rights on their side, while the other, the parents, the adults, has all the duties and many responsibilities towards the first. "Who has the power?". This is the question around which the essays in this volume revolve: they are dedicated to the analysis of the relationships between adults and children as a question of "power", considered on Foucault's basis not as something that is shared between those who possess it and those who suffer it, but as something that "circulates". The analysis is carried out not only through the work of childhood and family historians, the critique of Freudian psychoanalysis, and Gregory Bateson's theory on the "double bind", but above all through the reading of works of Italian (Collodi, De Amicis, Vamba) and foreign fiction (Flaubert, Kafka, Bernhard)

    Abstract: Netzwerkbeziehungen tragen dazu bei, dass sich neue Unternehmen am Markt legitimieren. Sie ermöglichen einen raschen und oft exklusiven Informationsaustausch und leisten emotionale wie technische Unterstützung, insbesondere auch in der Gründungsphase eines Unternehmens. Gerade in den neunziger Jahren hat sich in Deutschland eine Vielzahl neuer - regionaler wie nationaler - Netzwerke für berufstätige und selbständige Frauen gegründet, zusätzlich zu den Wirtschafts- und Berufsverbänden. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersuchen Friederike Welter, Ursula Ammon und Lutz Trettin, in welcher Hinsicht und inwieweit Unternehmerinnen-Netzwerke den Erfolg von Gründungen beeinflussen können und welche Faktoren ein erfolgreiches und nachhaltig effektives Netzwerk ausmachen (können). Obschon aufgrund der lokalen und regionalen Einbettung der Netzwerke und ihrer spezifischen Entstehungsgeschichte keine »Patentrezepte« für einen idealen Entwicklungspfad zu finden sind, lassen die Ergebnisse dieser Studie eine Reihe personen-, prozess-, organisations- und vernetzungsbezogene Stärken und Schwächen verschiedener Netzwerktypen erkennen. Aus diesen sowie aus internationalen Vergleichen lassen sich Empfehlungen ableiten, was beachtet werden sollte, wenn neue Netzwerke entstehen oder wenn sich existierende veränderten Gegebenheiten anpassen

It addresses the problem of the creation of borders (political, administrative, linguistic, religious) in Europe and in Brazil from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century, with particular regard to the period between the 17th and 18th centuries. The theme of the constitution of borders is a classic of the relationship between history and geography and involves the entire range of human sciences, enabling the comparison with international research results

    Abstract: Le Fou d’Elsa (1963) occupe une place particulière à la fois dans l’œuvre d’Aragon et dans l’histoire de la poésie française. L’ampleur de l’ouvrage et la portée des ambitions du plus monstrueux des cinq grands poèmes écrits par Aragon à partir de 1954 l’apparentent certes aux grandes épopées romantiques dont il serait le dernier avatar. Reste que cette monstruosité bouleverse, d’une façon inédite chez le poète et ceux dont il se fait l’héritier, lois et fonction du genre poétique : poème-roman sans rivage, brassant la fiction avec une documentation historique peu commune dans le continent poétique, Le Fou d’Elsa produit également des thèses d’auteur, prises de position argumentées dans le champ de l’histoire, de la politique et de la littérature. Le propos de cet ouvrage, premier essai consacré au Fou d’Elsa depuis quarante ans, est de lier l’étude des thèses développées dans ce poème à celle de son armature déconcertante : jouant à la fois de la cohérence et de l’opacité de ses propos, le poème s’offre en effet à lire tel une citadelle demandant qu’on l’investisse. La description de cette citadelle nécessite aussi bien l’étude des matériaux à partir desquels le poète l’a édifiée que celle des voies d’accès qu’il ménage à son lecteur

Il parlait de son étude, de ses recherches, de son atelier, de son laboratoire. Il parlait de faits, de gestes, d’actes et de textes. Il parlait de « poésie tapée aplatie en prose » ou de « prose aplatie ». Il disait qu’il n’aimait pas les « questions de cours ». Il disait qu’il voulait parler d’autre chose. Nous savons bien aujourd’hui qu’il ne s’agit pas de fabriquer de jolis petits ou grands poèmes. Que l’écriture a pour but la vérité pratique. Que la pensée se fait dans la bouche et dans les mains. Francis Ponge est bien, comme il le prétendait, un « suscitateur »
