    Abstract: International migration for temporary employment is key to South Asia's development path, in terms of both jobs and remittance flows. Overseas markets are a critical source of employment for South Asian economies that may not be able to absorb workers sufficiently or quickly enough into the domestic labor market. Migrant workers typically experience wage gains of at least three times their earnings back home, in addition to acquiring new skills and accumulating savings that can be used to start up entrepreneurial activities upon returning home. Remittances sent by migrants while abroad also boost household consumption and support macroeconomic stability in countries of origin. However, multiple challenges exist that prevent migration from achieving its full development potential. These challenges include high monetary costs, information gaps on employment opportunities in destination countries, a lack of protection while abroad, and high concentrations of migrants in few sectors and destinations. These often prevent the poorest from migrating overseas and may place those who actually migrate in situations of considerable vulnerability. Building on rigorous analytics, this book highlights policy actions that can be taken at all stages of the migration life cycle, including after return, to minimize the risks and maximize the benefits of migration for migrants themselves, their families, and the home economy. The book provides policy options to address information gaps on employment opportunities overseas at the departure stage, to prepare migrants adequately for their experience overseas, to diversify destinations and occupations abroad, and to maximize the benefits of return migration

    Abstract: A decade since the spark of the Arab Spring, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region continues to suffer from limited creation of more and better jobs. Youth face idleness and unemployment. For those who find jobs, informality awaits. Few women attempt to enter the world of work at all. Meanwhile, the available jobs are not those of the future. These labor market outcomes are being worsened by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 'Jobs Undone: Reshaping the Role of Governments toward Markets and Workers in the Middle East and North Africa' explores ways to break these impasses, drawing on original research, survey data, wide-ranging literature, and young entrepreneurial voices from the region. The report finds that a prominent reason behind MENA's unmet jobs challenge is a lack of market contestability in the formal private sector. Few firms in the region enter the market, few grow, and those that exit are not necessarily less productive. Moreover, firms in the region invest little in physical capital, human capital, or research and development, and they tend to be politically connected. At the macro level, economic growth has been mediocre, labor productivity is not being driven by structural change, and the growth of the stock of capital per capita has declined. New evidence generated for this report shows that the lack of dynamism is due to the prevalence of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). They operate in sectors where there is little economic rationale for public activity and they enjoy favorable treatment--flouting the principles of competitive neutrality. Meanwhile, labor regulations add to market rigidity, while gendered laws restrict women's potential. To change this reality, the state must reshape its relationship toward markets, toward workers, (...)

    Abstract: Bangladesh's vulnerability to the effects of climate change is well documented; the evidence on the direct relationship between climate change and health focusing on Bangladesh is less so. Global evidence suggests intensification of climate change will increase incidences and variations of infectious diseases. Climate Afflictions contributes to filling this important knowledge gap. It includes a systematic review of existing literature on the relationship between climate change and health, distinguishing between climate change and variability. It establishes the relationship between climate variability and infectious diseases and mental health using household-level data. It also documents changes in climate patterns in Bangladesh over the past 44 years using monthly meteorological data. Overall, the report finds a strong relationship between infectious diseases, mental health, and climate variability. Based on analyses of primary data, it concludes that the prevalence of vector-borne diseases is higher during the monsoon than dry seasons, while the opposite is true for waterborne illnesses. Meanwhile, rising humidity and mean temperature are positively associated with respiratory illnesses. In terms of mental health conditions, while temperature is negatively correlated to depression, anxiety among individuals is likely to increase with temperature and humidity. Irrespective of the season, morbidity and mental health issues are highest in densely populated urban hubs such as Dhaka and Chattogram compared to other areas. The mean temperature in Bangladesh has increased by 0.5 degree C between 1976 and 2019. Overall, summers are becoming hotter and longer, the monsoon season is extending, and winters are becoming warmer. Consequently, Bangladesh is on the path to (...)

    Abstract: Urbanization in East Asia and the Pacific has created enormous opportunity for many. Yet the rapid growth of cities can also create challenges as national and local governments try to keep up with the needs of their growing populations. Among these challenges is a lack of affordable housing, resulting in increasing slums, deficits in basic service provision, and widening inequality for urban dwellers. This study aims to better understand urban poverty and inequality in East Asian cities, recognizing that many countries of the region, particularly those of middle-income status, are at a critical juncture in their urbanization and growth process where potential social divisions in cities could harm prospects for future poverty reduction. The study uses a multidimensional approach to understand urban poverty and inclusion and draws on examples of programs and policies that have been successfully implemented in the East Asia region to develop a set of guiding principles for policy makers

    Abstract: Self-determination theory (SDT) provides a framework for understanding the factors that promote motivation and healthy psychological and behavioral functioning. In this authoritative work, the codevelopers of the theory comprehensively examine SDT's conceptual underpinnings (including its six mini-theories), empirical evidence base, and practical applications across the lifespan. The volume synthesizes a vast body of research on how supporting--or thwarting--people's basic needs for competence, relatedness, and autonomy affects their development and well-being. Chapters cover implications for practice and policy in education, health care, psychotherapy, sport, and the workplace.

    Abstract: Governments fail to provide the public goods needed for development when its leaders knowingly and deliberately ignore sound technical advice or are unable to follow it, despite the best of intentions, because of political constraints. This report focuses on two forces-citizen engagement and transparency-that hold the key to solving government failures by shaping how political markets function. Citizens are not only queueing at voting booths, but are also taking to the streets and using diverse media to pressure, sanction and select the leaders who wield power within government, including by entering as contenders for leadership. This political engagement can function in highly nuanced ways within the same formal institutional context and across the political spectrum, from autocracies to democracies. Unhealthy political engagement, when leaders are selected and sanctioned on the basis of their provision of private benefits rather than public goods, gives rise to government failures. The solutions to these failures lie in fostering healthy political engagement within any institutional context, and not in circumventing or suppressing it. Transparency, which is citizen access to publicly available information about the actions of those in government, and the consequences of these actions, can play a crucial role by nourishing political engagement

    Abstract: This volume offers a simple, systematic guide to creating a knowledge sharing practice in your organization. It shows how to build the enabling environment and develop the skills needed to capture and share knowledge gained from operational experiences to improve performance and scale-up successes. Its recommendations are grounded on the insights gained from the past seven years of collaboration between the World Bank and its clients around the world-ministries and national agencies operating in various sectors-who are working to strengthen their operations through robust knowledge sharing. While informed by the academic literature on knowledge management and organizational learning, this handbook's operational background and many real-world examples and tips provide a missing, practical foundation for public sector officials in developing countries and for development practitioners. However, though written with a public sector audience in mind, the overall concepts and approaches will also hold true for most organizations in the private sector and the developed world

    Abstract: Early Childhood Development in Tonga offers a comprehensive assessment of early child development across Tonga using the Tongan Early Human Capability Index instrument. The data has information on more than 6,600 children, ages three to five, living across 36 inhabited islands, and reported for 129 communities. On the basis of population figures from the Tongan census data collection provided by the Tonga Department of Statistics, 81 percent of three- to five-year-olds participated in the Tongan Early Human Capability Index. The report details the development of the instrument used to collect the child development data to ensure cultural validity and local relevance, while still capturing the fundamental aspects of child development that are consistent across countries and cultures. As well as the development of the instrument, other countries will also be interested in learning about h the method of data collection across a country with remote and isolated islands using an innovative partnership between health and education. Using existing systems and community governance structures, the data was not only collected but also disseminated back to communities to raise awareness and prompt community and government mobilization to support early child development. The process of developing and implementing the Tongan Early Human Capability Index across Tonga helped build national and district capacity, and is encouraging the establishment of community-based supports for children. Researchers, policy makers, and practitioners as well as advocates for the development and enhancement of systems to monitor early child development worldwide will find this publication highly significant

    Abstract: In Central and Eastern European countries, inequalities for Roma families living in marginalized communities start early and are striking. Some of these inequalities reflect hard-wired family circumstances such as being born in poverty. Others reflect lack of opportunities such as limited access to those basic goods and services that are necessary not only for realizing one's potential in life, but also for living with dignity. Gaps between Roma and non-Roma widen over the lifecycle in a way that reinforces and perpetuates disadvantage and translates into significantly unequal outcomes, despite the fact that Roma report having similar aspirations to those of their non-Roma neighbors. Promoting equal opportunities for disadvantaged Roma is not only an imperative for societies that want to call themselves fair, but it is also a smart economic choice, especially in those countries where populations are aging rapidly. Investing early, with a particular emphasis on supporting healthy and cognitive development for disadvantaged Roma children, is likely to go a long way in promoting fair chances. However, leveling the playing field in childhood is likely not enough: disadvantaged Roma continue being exposed to unequal opportunities at key nodes in their lives, such as when pursuing education or when looking for a job. Therefore, it is as important that a broader set of policies address some of the circumstances in which a large share of Roma children grow up, including access to employment and decent living conditions for their families. Implementing interventions that help overcome these interrelated barriers will require strong ownership at the national level, coordinated policies across different ministries and government levels, and an integrated delivery system that (...)

    Abstract: Work and Family Commitments of Low-Income and Impoverished Women explores a paradox in the contemporary work-life debate where dual-earner married mothers' decisions to limit or withdraw from the paid workforce to spend time with children yields understanding if not approval from the American public, while poor women who would otherwise limit paid work and rely on welfare are seen as shirking their responsibility to their children. This book explores the moral and ideological forces shaping poor mothers' response to this contradiction.

    Abstract: Award-winning nature writer John Leland offers a collection of twenty-seven short, poetic essays that marry science and the humanities as the author seeks meaning in trees. Readings in Wood is an investigation of trees and forests and also of wood as a material that people have found essential in the creation of society and culture. Leland views with wit and erudition the natural world and the curious place of human beings as saviors and destroyers of this world.At once personal memoir, natural history, and cultural criticism, the book reflects Leland's idiosyncratic vision. In one essay Leland asks the trees, "Do you, like us, rejoice in sunny days, dance with the wind, and blush to have your sexual desires known by prurient passersby? Why, like us, do you torture yourselves reaching for a heaven beyond your grasp? Why twist yourselves so that your grain becomes a record of your grief? What mystic patterns of science, math, and religion hide in your whirls of leaf and branch?"As vast as a forest, topics range from tree grain and leaf shape to economic theories, mathematics, and engineering. Readings in Wood is a hybrid testament of science, faith, superstition, and disbelief learned from sitting on tree trunks and peering at leaves and fungi. Leland hopes others will join him in nature's classroom. Quite aware of the irony, he reminds us, "These leaves you desultorily turn over once hung in a green wood gone to make this book. Touching a book, you touch a tree. I pray that Readings in Wood's essays, touching you, may justify in some small way the trees who died in their making.".

    Abstract: Women are not to blame for their lack of advancement at work. Failure to lean in and greater responsibility for childcare don't fully explain why women are not reaching the top levels of many corporations. The truth is, many senior male executives are reluctant to have a one-on-one meeting with a junior woman at work. They're afraid that an offhand remark will be misinterpreted as sexual harassment or that their friendliness will be mistaken for romantic interest. As a result, many male executives stick with other men, especially when it comes to dinners, drinks, late-night meetings, or business trips. When it's time for promotions or pay raises, these same executives are more likely to show preference to the employees with whom they feel most comfortable-other men. In Sex and the Office, Kim Elsesser delves into how issues as varied as workplace romance, spousal jealousy, organizational sexual harassment policies, and communication differences create barriers between the sexes at work. Since senior management is still largely dominated by men, these barriers-which Elsesser labels "the sex partition"-often leave female employees without the influential friends and mentors critical for career success. Fortunately, all hope is not lost. Elsesser offers practical advice on how to break down the sex partition and reveals the best strategies for networking with the opposite sex. Sex and the Office is sure to spark new dialogue on the sources of the gender gap as well as its solutions.

    DDC: 306.7662
    Abstract: Drawing on a rich array of source materials including previously unseen, fascinating (and often quite moving) oral histories, archival and news media sources, 'Curing queers' examines the plight of men who were institutionalised in British mental hospitals to receive 'treatment' for homosexuality and transvestism, and the perceptions and actions of the men and women who nursed them. The book begins in 1935 with the first official report on the use of aversion therapy to combat homosexual desire and continues until 1974, when the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its diagnostic manual as a category of psychiatric disorder. It thereby covers a critical period in British queer history during which the reigning public and professional discourse surrounding homosexuality shifted from crime to sickness to tolerance. The majority of nurses followed orders in administering treatment in spite of the zero success-rate in 'straightening out' queer men, but a small number surreptitiously defied their superiors by engaging in fascinating subversive behaviours. This book provides an in-depth examination of both groups, and offers some intriguing insights into the hidden gay lives of some of the nurses themselves, and the inevitable tension between their own identities and desires and the treatments they administered to others. 'Curing queers' makes a significant and substantial contribution to the history of nursing and the history of sexuality, bringing together two sub-disciplines that combine only infrequently. Therefore, it will be of interest to scholars and students in nursing, history, gender studies, health care ethics and law, as well as the general reader.

    Abstract: Erst war es ein Flirt, doch dann wurde daraus mehr. Andrea Tapper, deutsche Journalistin im besten Alter, lebt im Winter auf Sansibar und verliebt sich dort unerwartet in einen wesentlich jüngeren Mann. Wie lebt und liebt es sich auf der afrikanischen Märcheninsel zwischen Tradition und Internet, Schleier und Sünde? Sextourismus oder internationale Affäre? Ehrlich und ungeschönt berichten beide aus ihrer Sicht über ihre Affäre und erstellen so das sehr persönliche Psychogramm einer kulturübergreifenden Romanze mit allen Konflikten, aber auch mit viel Gefühl und Humor.

    Abstract: Racism has never been simple. It wasn't more obvious in the past, and it isn't less potent now. From the birth of the United States to the contemporary police shooting death of an unarmed Black youth, Beneath the Surface of White Supremacy investigates ingrained practices of racism, as well as unquestioned assumptions in the study of racism, to upend and deepen our understanding.In Moon-Kie Jung's unsettling book, Dred Scott v. Sandford, the notorious 1857 Supreme Court case, casts a shadow over current immigration debates and the "war on terror." The story of a 1924 massacre of Filipino sugar workers in Hawai'i pairs with statistical relentlessness of black economic suffering to shed light on hidden dimensions of mass ignorance and indifference. The histories of Asians, blacks, the Indigenous, and Latina/os relate in knotty ways. State violence and colonialism come to the fore in taking measure of the United States, past and present, while the undue importance of assimilation and colorblindness recedes. Ultimately, Jung challenges the dominant racial common sense and develops new concepts and theory for radically rethinking and resisting racisms.

    Abstract: In 2001 the first World Social Forum was held in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The meeting was viewed by many at the time as a new manifestation of the global Left, a people's opposition to the World Economic Forum that stood as the first real front to global capitalism since the collapse of the Soviet Union. While many activists and intellectuals on the left have since become deeply critical of the Forum, newer movements, such as Occupy, the Arab Spring and the indignados, have built upon its successes and innovations. Another World is Possible is the original collection of essays and demands from the heart of the 'movement of movements'. Based on the work of the first two annual meetings of the WSF, this classic collection not only set out the initial aims of the movements that came together, it also paved the way for the theoretical study of new social movements, their multiple and participatory character. Today, as many crises affect all our lives, it is time to revisit the original demands of a global solidarity movement, united in its determination to fight against the concentration of wealth, the proliferation of poverty and inequalities, and the destruction of our earth, and to reconstitute a global left.

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage se situe dans le prolongement du volume (Interactions et Intercompréhension : une approche comparative, EME Éditions, Collection Échanges, 2013) qui interrogeait les notions d'acceptabilité et d'intercompréhension entre l'homme, l'animal et la machine. Nous poursuivons ici ces interrogations et enrichissons la réflexion autour de la question d'incertitude en termes d'implications théoriques et méthodologiques pour optimiser à la fois l'intercompréhension et la connaissance scientifique interdisciplinaire. Chacune de ces contributions porte sur des terrains d'observation actuels et certains auteurs nous livrent les premiers résultats de programme de recherche financés.

    Abstract: This study traces the sociopolitical effects of immigration on Singapore and its population, a topic that has been the subject of intense debate in the nation as its population grows increasingly diverse. Beyond the logic of economic imperatives, the book aims to explore the larger consequences of taking in large numbers of immigrants, and its analysis should appeal to scholars of migration, social change, and public policy.

    Abstract: Hunting Down Social Darwinism addresses the manner in which free-market advocacy is often criticized as social Darwinism. It explores the term's meaning and the reasons such criticisms prove to be misleading. Hayashi examines whether it is fair to describe nineteenth-century free-market advocates Spencer and Sumner as social Darwinists.

    Abstract: In China, 'The Tomb-Sweeping Day' is a festival commemorating the ancestors and making sacrifices to gods and saints. This book - written as an English-Chinese bilingual text - introduces the origin, inheritance, traditions, and varied forms of this festival. As a festival that represents respect, its cultural distinction deserves to be highlighted. 'The Tomb-Sweeping Day' is seen as a significant component of Confucianism, showing the filialness and loyalty of Chinese people. Many folk tales and legends of sagacious heroes are the prototype of the sacred ceremonies during the festival, and these are vividly presented in the book. (Series: Chinese Festival Culture) [Subject: Anthropology, Chinese Studies, Asian Studies, Cultural Studies, Religious Studies].

    Abstract: We have witnessed a beginning, the birth of a new age of revolt and upheaval. In North Africa and the Middle East it took the people a matter of days to topple what were supposedly entrenched regimes. Now, to the west, multiple crises are etching away at a 'democratic consensus' that has, since the 1970s, plagued and suppressed any sparks of revolutionary potential. It is time to prepare for the coming insurrection. In this bold and beautifully written book, Eric Hazan and Kamo provide a short account of what is to be done in the aftermath of a regime's demise: how to prevent any power from restoring itself and how to reorganize society without a central authority and according to the people's needs. They argue that neither a leadership reshuffle, in the guise of constitutional progress, nor a transition period between a capitalist social order and a communist horizon will do. First Measures of the Coming Insurrection is more than the voice of a new generation of revolutionaries; it is the manual for the coming global revolution.

By comparing a variety of case studies, they demonstrate how similar acts accompanied by starkly different political language can create cognitive dissonance in the minds of the electorate and influence policy choices.

    Abstract: Reinhold Niebuhr helps us to understand why our politics is broken and research on the brain confirms his analysis: we are all vain and self-righteous, and far too quick to reject anyone who thinks otherwise. To restore a democracy that works, we need to understand ourselves better and develop the humility such knowledge should engender.

    Abstract: Si le culte spécifique rendu aux saints guérisseurs et leur cortège de processions ou de pèlerinages manifestent un très net essoufflement, ils sont loin d'avoir disparu.Le recours à celles et à ceux qui bénéficient d'un don privilégié leur permettant de soulager ou de guérir divers maux est, toujours aujourd'hui, très fréquent. Nos régions comptent encore de nombreux guérisseurs, empiriques ou mystiques, dont la réputation est parfois particulièrement bien assise. Les rebouteux, les r'pougneûs, les sègneûs et autres radiesthésistes ou magnétiseurs sont encore recherchés et fréquemment consultés ; leurs " pouvoirs " largement commentés. C'est à la rencontre de cet univers quasi intemporel que René Henry vous invite au travers de ce nouvel ouvrage entièrement constitué des milliers de communications reçues de ses lecteurs depuis qu'il signe La Petite Gazette dans Vlan - Les Annonces. Depuis toujours, les habitants de nos villages, à l'instar de tout qui vivaient dans le monde rural, ont eu recours aux pratiques de la médecine populaires transmises de génération en génération au sein des communautés villageoises. Aujourd'hui encore, dans toutes les familles certaines de ces pratiques sont toujours préconisées et scrupuleusement observées. Toutes les ressources de la nature sont mises à profit, les plantes, les animaux et même les minéraux, pour leurs vertus médicinales. Se pencher sur ces pratiques ainsi que le font, depuis des décennies, La Petite Gazette et ses innombrables lecteurs-collaborateurs, c'est montrer à quel point les remèdes et les médications que recommandent ces antiques traditions semblent immuables et, en tout point, comparables à ceux mis en œuvre il y a plusieurs siècles déjà.Ce livre ne se veut nullement un traité de médecine, pas plus qu'il ne prétend justifier la médecine populaire, il n'est qu'un document donnant un aperçu...
    Abstract: actuel des survivances de traditions anciennes dont la pérennité s'explique sans doute en partie par la situation économique et sociale.A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Fervent amoureux de nos vallées et de nos plateaux, René Henry leur a déjà consacré plus de vingt années de recherches et d'enquêtes. Auteur de plusieurs ouvrages d'histoire régionale et de folklore, il est aussi chroniqueur à succès pour l'hebdomadaire Les Annonces.EXTRAIT La simple comparaison entre les thérapeutiques consignées par les « médicinaires » du XVIIIe siècle et les remèdes collationnés aujourd'hui montre une ressemblance vraiment étonnante. Ainsi, en ce domaine, il n'est pas erroné de prétendre que, malgré les incroyables bouleversements que la société rurale a connus en 300 ans, la tradition orale a préservé, quasiment intacts, une multitude de croyances et d'usages ancestraux. À sa manière, La Petite Gazette entretient la transmission de cette tradition.

    Abstract: The world needs to improve its understanding of Chinese people's behavior and Chinese culture at the increasing contact zones. Values are the central channel to know and understand Chinese societies, people, and culture. In the context of globalization, values - as one of the cultural cores - play a central role in people's daily communication. This book explores intercultural communication, cross-cultural communication, social psychology, cross-cultural psychology, and Chinese culture in general. It starts with a psycholexical approach to extract an indigenous Chinese values structure and then relates the locally derived values structure with the cross-culturally and empirically validated content and structure. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Sociology, Asian Studies, Chinese Studies, Cultural Studies].

    Abstract: In China, 'The Maguai Festival' of the Zhuang People literally means 'worshipping frog to pray for peace, harmony, and a good harvest for the upcoming year,' since the frog is deemed an incarnation of gods. This book introduces the cultural background of the Zhuang people, along with the origin, development, and dissemination of the Maguai Festival. This ethnic minority has a comparably large population in China and its culture is an important part of Chinese civilization. The Zhuang people have a unique lifestyle, including ethnic costumes, folk singing and dancing, special cuisine, and indigenous religions. All these cultural elements can be observed in 'The Maguai Festival.' The book - written as an English-Chinese bilingual text - covers most aspects of the characteristic culture of Zhuang people, which is less known to the rest of the world, but should not be neglected. It offers a panoramic view of Zhuang culture to a global audience. (Series: Chinese Festival Culture) [Subject: Anthropology, Chinese Studies, Asian Studies, Cultural Studies, Ethnic Studies].

    Abstract: Une nouvelle manière de communiquer...La communication est un levier essentiel pour réaliser les objectifs d''un développement durable, que ce soit pour expliquer les enjeux, inciter à changer de comportement, ou encore valoriser les actions menées par une organisation. La créativité et la pertinence ont bien sûr leur importance, mais le défi est bien plus ambitieux : changer les pratiques de la communication pour limiter concrètement les impacts de ses actions. Autrement dit, il s''agit de définir les contours d''une nouvelle façon de communiquer.Nombreux sont ceux qui cherchent à faire « autrement » et font évoluer leurs pratiques. C''est à eux que nous avons voulu donner la parole : consultants, chefs d''entreprise, responsables associatifs, agents publics,... Loin des grands débats théoriques, ils se sont frottés à la réalité du terrain, ont acquis une expérience et des savoir-faire qu''ils vous partagent. Que vous soyez chargé de communication, dirigeant d''organisation, responsable d''agence, expert, consultant ou chercheur, et que vous exerciez votre activité dans le secteur privé, public ou associatif, cet ouvrage vous donnera des pistes concrètes pour mettre en oeuvre une communication plus responsable.Les droits d''auteurs de ce livre sont versés à l''association sans but lucratif ASHOKA Belgique, réseau d''Entrepreneurs Sociaux dont l''objectif est de faire émerger un monde où chacun est capable d''agir face aux défis sociétaux. http://belgium.ashoka.org Un ouvrage pratique à mettre entre toutes les mains. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE - "Un ouvrage concret pour faire évoluer pas à pas son entreprise et qui appelle également à la réflexion de chacun, qu'importe son secteur de compétence." - La Libre Entreprise À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURMagali Ronsmans est licenciée en sociologie (ULB) et a également suivi deux années de formations en...

    Abstract: Les rapports complexes qu'entretiennent les dynamiques sociospatiales, les discours épilinguistiques et topologiques, les normes urbanisées, la migrance, les marquages linguistiques et/ou langagiers et les identités ne sont certes plus à démontrer dès lors que l'on investit un terrain relatif aux situations urbaines d'un point de vue sociolinguistique ; il n'est évidemment pas davantage nouveau de constater la pluralité des espaces de ville - dans l'acception qu'en fait pour le moins la sociolinguistique urbaine - tant sur les plans culturels que plus largement structurels ; après quelques premiers travaux sur tout d'abord la discrimination des espaces comme processus complémentaire de celui de la ségrégation puis, plus nettement, sur la discrimination sociolinguistique comme vecteur/acteur de l'exclusion sociale, le volume tente d'élargir une conceptualisation émergente dans le champ de ladite discrimination. Il constitue un des deux volumes rassemblant certaines des contributions présentées lors des septièmes Journées Internationales de Sociolinguistique Urbaine qui ont eu lieu à l'université de La Réunion. Mylène LEBON-EYQUEM est Maître de conférences à l'Université de La Réunion (UMR CNRS LCF 8143). Ses travaux portent sur le développement langagier, sur les pratiques et usages langagiers dans une perspective dynamique du contact. Elle s'intéresse également à la sociolinguistique urbaine et notamment à la construction des processus identitaires urbains. Thierry BULOT est professeur des universités à l'Université Rennes 2 (EA PREFics 3207). Ses recherches portent sur la théorisation de la sociolinguistique urbaine, sur la mise en place d'une sociolinguistique prioritaire prenant en compte les discours topologiques. Il travaille également sur les situations de minoration sociolinguistique. Gudrun LEDEGEN est maître de conférences à...

    Abstract: The eighth edition of American Attitudes: Who Thinks What about the Issues That Shape Our Lives coaxes the results of the latest (2014) General Social Survey out of the shadows of academia and makes them readily available for researchers who want to explore Americans' changing attitudes. In hundreds of tables, the eighth edition of American Attitudes taps into the GSS gold mine, revealing what the public thinks about topics ranging from gay marriage to the American Dream, and the pros and cons of patriotism, how Americans feel about their financial status, their hopes for their children, how often they socialize and with whom, their religious beliefs, political leanings, and standard of living. It shows those answers by the demographics that shape perspective-sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, education, and region. American Attitudes reveals 2014 attitudes by demographic characteristic, and for every 2014 question for which historical data are available, it shows the history of response all the way back to the first appearance of the question on the General Social Survey. American Attitudes provides the latest data and is an invaluable resource for historic trends. The eighth edition of American Attitudes is organized into 10 chapters: Public Arena, Government and Politics, Patriotism, Science and Information, Religion, Work and Money, Family and Friends, Diversity, Personal Outlook, and Sexuality.

    Abstract: Siegfried Kracauer was a leading figure on the Weimar arts scene and one of the foremost representatives of the Frankfurt School of critical theory. Best known for a wealth of writings on sociology and film theory, his influence is felt in the work of many of the period's preeminent thinkers, including the critic Theodor W. Adorno, who once claimed he owed more to Kracauer than any other intellectual.Kracauer.Photographic Archive, a companion volume to The Past's Threshold: Essays on Photography, collects previously unpublished photographs by Siegfried and Elisabeth, "Lili," Kracauer. With its remarkably rich material, the book tells the story of the Kracauer's close working relationship, from their marriage in Germany to their escape to Paris and the war and postwar years in the United States. While neither Kracauer nor his wife trained in photography, their portraits, city views, and landscapes evince impressive aesthetic and technical skill, while simultaneously shedding light on their lives marked by exile and flight.

    Abstract: Eine erschreckend große Anzahl von Jugendlichen unterscheidet nicht zwischen der Welt der Pornos und der normalen Welt. Sie beziehen einen wesentlichen Teil ihrer Bildung aus der Boulevardpresse, von Pornorappern und aus Sexfilmen. Das Interesse an Pornographie an sich ist normal und zu jeder Zeit zu beobachten. Allerdings findet heutzutage in zunehmendem Maße keine Filterung mehr statt. Die Jugendlichen leben in Familien, in denen nicht über die Thematik gesprochen wird und die Bilder als etwas Irreales eingeordnet werden. Viele Jugendliche küssen sich nicht mehr, weil im Porno nicht geküsst wird. Sie verhüten nicht, weil im Porno nicht verhütet wird. Pornos bilden für sie Wirklichkeiten ab - in besonders eindrucksvoller Weise dann, wenn es sich um Realaufnahmen handelt. Diese Studie beschreibt sehr eindrücklich und lebensnah den Umgang mit Pornographie und Sexualität von Jugendlichen, die in schwierigen sozialen Verhältnissen aufwachsen und der bildungsfernen Schicht zuzuordnen sind. Dazu hat die Autorin Jugendliche aus sozialen Brennpunkten verschiedener deutscher Städte im Alter von 11 bis 21 besucht, ihren Alltag begleitet und eine Vielzahl an Gesprächen mit ihnen geführt.

    Series Statement: Chinese Festival Culture Series
    DDC: 394.26951
    Abstract: In China, 'The Saizhuang Festival' of the Yi ethnic group literally means 'the attire-competing festival' in the Yi language. This book - written in an English-Chinese bilingual text - introduces the festival's origin, dissemination, traditional contents, and forms in modern times, in order to generate a panoramic view for the culture of the Yi people. The festival is not only a grandiose party of the Yi people, but is also the epitome of their characteristic lives. During the festival, they have competitions in many areas, ranging from the performing arts, such as singing and dancing, to tasty cuisine, Yi liquor, embroidery art, costume-making, and symbolic pictograph writing. All elements of this ethnic group's culture are incarnated and can be found represented in 'The Saizhuang Festival.' (Series: Chinese Festival Culture) [Subject: Anthropology, Chinese Studies, Asian Studies, Cultural Studies, Ethnic Studies].
