    Heritage Movements in Asia : Cultural Heritage Activism, Politics, and Identity (2019)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781789204827
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 230 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Series Statement: Explorations in Heritage Studies 2
    Keywords: Heritage Formation; Heritage Use; Heritage Contestation; Social Movements; Heritiage Activism; Contested Heritage; Dissonant Heritage
    Abstract: Heritage processes vary according to cultural, national, geographical, and historical contexts. This volume is unique in that it is dedicated to approaching the analysis of heritage through the concepts of social movements. Adapting the latest developments in the field of social movements, the chapters examine the formation, use and contestation of heritage by various official, non-official and activist players and the spaces where such ongoing negotiations and contestation take place. By bringing social movements into heritage studies, the book advocates a shift of perspective in understanding heritage, one that is no longer bound by (at times arbitrary) divisions such as those assumed between the state and people or between experts and non-experts.

    Engaging Evil : A Moral Anthropology (2019)

    Keywords: methods of anthropology;anthropology history;academic debate;new developments;new methods;academic studies;history reference;social;moral;ethics of knowledge;non knowledge;alterity;kingship;african kingship;kilimanjaro;durkheim;anthropology
    Abstract: Anthropologists have expressed wariness about the concept of evil even in discussions of morality and ethics, in part because the concept carries its own cultural baggage and theological implications in Euro-American societies. Addressing the problem of evil as a distinctly human phenomenon and a category of ethnographic analysis, this volume shows the usefulness of engaging evil as a descriptor of empirical reality where concepts such as violence, criminality, and hatred fall short of capturing the darkest side of human existence.

    Inward Looking : The Impact of Migration on Romanipe from the Romani Perspective (2019)

    Edition: 1st edition
    Series Statement: Romani Studies 2
    DDC: 306.09
    Keywords: Europe; Bulgaria; Roma; Structural and Social Inequalities; Identity
    Abstract: At present, Roma are an integral part of Europe, though they face structural and social inequalities and different forms of exclusion and discrimination. Inward Looking seeks to understand the relationship between Romani identity, performance and migration. Particularly, it studies the idea of ‘Romanipe’ through the prism of the personal accounts of Romani migrants. It also seeks to understand the relationships between the Romani groups in Europe, due to their increased travel and convergence, and predict the effects of migration on (new) Romani consciousness. The findings are based on qualitative data gathered from Romani migrants from three towns in Bulgaria.

    Pages: 212 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Pacific Rim;Ethnographic Studies of Plant Materials;Anthropology of Design and Material Culture;New Materialities;Making
    Abstract: How does design and innovation shape people’s lives in the Pacific? Focusing on plant materials from the region, How Materials Matter reveals ways in which a variety of people – from craftswomen and scientists to architects and politicians – work with materials to transform worlds. Recognizing the fragile and ephemeral nature of plant fibres, this work delves into how the biophysical properties of certain leaves and their aesthetic appearance are utilized to communicate information and manage different forms of relations. It breaks new ground by situating plant materials at the centre of innovation in a region.

    Abstract: Exploring some of the ways in which repair practices and perceptions of brokenness vary culturally, Repair, Brokenness, Breakthrough argues that repair is both a process and also a consequence which is sought out—an attempt to extend the life of things as well as an answer to failures, gaps, wrongdoings, and leftovers. This volume develops an open-ended combination of empirical and theoretical questions including: What does it mean to claim that something is broken? At what point is something broken repairable? What are the social relationships that take place around repair? And how much tolerance for failure do our societies have?

    Keywords: Black Atlantic; Atlantic Studies; Transatlantic Anthropology; Transatlantic History; Religion; Mobility; Belonging; Cultural Heritage; Placemaking
    Abstract: Focusing on mobility, religion, and belonging, the volume contributes to transatlantic anthropology and history by bringing together religion, cultural heritage and placemaking in the Atlantic world. The entanglements of these domains are ethnographically scrutinized to perceive the connections and disconnections of specific places which, despite a common history, are today very different in terms of secular regimes and the presence of religion in the public sphere. Ideally suited to a variety of scholars and students in different fields, Atlantic Perspectives will lead to new debates and conversations throughout the fields of anthropology, religion and history.

    Keywords: Gastronationalism; Spanish Regional Cuisine; Catalan Identity; Culinary Nationalism; Josep R. Llobera; Detailed Ethnographic Monographs of Nationalisms; Autonomy of Catalonia; Independence Movement; Everyday Experience of Nationalism in Catalonia
    Abstract: In the early twenty-first century, nationalism has seen a surprising resurgence across the Western world. In the Catalan Autonomous Community in northeastern Spain, this resurgence has been most apparent in widespread support for Catalonia’s pro-independence movement, and the popular assertion of Catalan symbols, culture and identity in everyday life. Nourishing the Nation provides an ethnographic account of the everyday experience of national identity in Catalonia, using an essential, everyday object of consumption: food. As a crucial element of Catalan cultural life, a focus on food provides unique insight into the lived realities of Catalan nationalism, and how Catalans experience and express their national identity today.

    Les échanges savants franco-allemands au xviiie siècle : Transferts, circulations et réseaux (2019)

    Series Statement: Histoire
    Keywords: European history ; Modern history to 20th century: c 1700 to c 1900
    Abstract: Cet ouvrage applique pour la première fois de façon ample et réflexive la notion de transferts culturels créée par Michel Espagne et Michael Werner en 1985 au champ de l'histoire des savoirs entre aires francophones et germanophones au xviiie siècle. Si, en effet, dans son projet, la République des lettres s'étend à l'ensemble de l'Europe et fait fi des frontières politiques, elle est traversée de tensions notamment nationales. Or, les échanges savants mettent en relation des acteurs fortement mobiles et des aires linguistiques et culturelles autant ou plus que proprement politiques, si bien que les Cantons helvétiques et les Provinces-Unies sont inclus dans l'analyse. La complexité des frontières et l'emboîtement des espaces mènent à distinguer des échelles d'analyse fluctuantes selon les objets envisagés et dans le temps, et à insérer les transferts dans des ensembles de circulations et de réseaux. Seule une telle mise en contexte, qui réinterprète la notion de transferts, permet d'analyser les biais linguistiques et les clichés, de cerner le développement de médias particuliers (correspondances, périodiques savants, encyclopédies, littérature clandestine) ou de réseaux connexes (huguenots, francs-maçons, clandestins par exemple). On souligne à terme la porosité ou les hiatus entre types de savoirs (locaux et globaux, écrits et pratiques), la malléabilité des identités savantes et la complexité de ce que l'on résume habituellement sous le nom unifiant de Lumières

    Series Statement: Æsthetica
    Keywords: Theory of art ; Film theory & criticism
    Abstract: Qu'est-ce qu'une « mise en abyme » et en quoi consiste sa puissance de jeu et de réflexion ? Dans une image, un tableau ou un texte, sait-on toujours déterminer où commence et où s'achève cet enchâssement étonnant, voire vertigineux, de représentations à l'intérieur d'autres représentations ? Quelle est la place, la fonction et la portée de la mise en abyme au sein de la grande famille des phénomènes réflexifs ? Jusqu'où doit-on différencier les approches de la mise en abyme dans tel ou tel art ou dans tel ou tel média : dans la littérature ou dans le cinéma, dans la bande dessinée ou au sein du jeu vidéo ? Pour répondre à ces questions, l'ouvrage collectif - inédit dans sa vocation ouvertement interdisciplinaire - croise non seulement les objets d'étude mais aussi les méthodes d'analyse. À travers la diversité des points de vue, se révèle alors l'idée rectrice selon laquelle la mise en abyme semble guetter toute représentation et devient par là même un principe incontournable de notre expérience et de notre intelligence de nous-mêmes comme du monde

    Keywords: China; Domestic Dislocation in the Contemporary Countryside; Dispossession; Red Capitalism; Socialist Sovereignty
    Abstract: Chinese citizens make themselves at home despite economic transformation, political rupture, and domestic dislocation in the contemporary countryside. By mobilizing labor and kinship to make claims over homes, people, and things, rural residents withstand devaluation and confront dispossession. As a particular configuration of red capitalism and socialist sovereignty takes root, this process challenges the relationship between the politics of place and the location of class in China and beyond.

    Abstract: Growing up with social and economic upheaval in the peripheries of global neoliberalism, children in rural Zambia are presented with diverging social and moral protocols across homes, classrooms, church halls, and the streets. Mostly unmonitored by adults, they explore the ambiguities of adult life in playful interactions with their siblings and kin across gender and age. Drawing on rich linguistic-ethnographic details of such interactions combined with observations of school and household procedures, the author provides a rare insight into the lives, voices, and learning paths of children in a rural African setting.

    Abstract: Going beyond the frameworks of the anthropology of death, Articulate Necrographies offers a dramatic new way of studying the dead and its interactions with the living. Traditional anthropology has tended to dichotomize societies where death “speaks” from those where death is “silent” – the latter is deemed “scientific” and the former “religious” or “magical”. The collection introduces the concept of “necrography” to describe the way death and the dead create their own kinds of biographies in and among the living, and asks what kinds of articulacies and silences this in turn produces in the lives of those affected

    Bourdieu and Social Space : Mobilities, Trajectories, Emplacements (2019)

    Series Statement: Worlds in Motion 6
    DDC: 304.8
    Keywords: European Union; Mobility; Structured Inequalities; Spatial Choices and Practices; Habitus
    Abstract: French sociologist and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu’s relevance for studies of spatiality and mobility has received less attention than other aspects of his work. Here, Deborah Reed-Danahay argues that the concept of social space, central to Bourdieu’s ideas, addresses the structured inequalities that prevail in spatial choices and practices. She provides an ethnographically informed interpretation of social space that demonstrates its potential for new directions in studies of mobility, immobility, and emplacement.  This book traces the links between habitus and social space across the span of Bourdieu’s writings, and places his work in dialogue with historical and contemporary approaches to mobility.

    Abstract: Co-authored by three anthropologists with long–term expertise studying Pentecostalism in Vanuatu, Angola, and Papua New Guinea/the Trobriand Islands respectively, Going to Pentecost offers a comparative study of Pentecostalism in Africa and Melanesia, focusing on key issues as economy, urban sociality, and healing. More than an ordinary comparative book, it recognizes the changing nature of religion in the contemporary world – in particular the emergence of “non-territorial” religion (which is no longer specific to places or cultures) – and represents an experimental approach to the study of global religious movements in general and Pentecostalism in particular

    Abstract: Combining theoretical and empirical discussions with shorter “thick description” case studies, this book offers an anthropological exploration of the emergence in Malaysia of lifestyle bloggers – precursors to current social media “microcelebrities” and “influencers.” It tracks the transformation of personal blogs, which attracted readers with spontaneous and authentic accounts of everyday life, into lifestyle blogs that generate income through advertising and foreground consumerist lifestyles. It argues that lifestyle blogs are dialogically constituted between the blogger, the readers, and the blog itself, and challenges the assumption of a unitary self by proposing that lifestyle blogs can best be understood in terms of the “dividual self.”

    Abstract: Having long been stigmatized as an immoral and even illegal “superstition”, the popular practice of divination is experiencing a revival in contemporary China. Fate Calculation Experts explores how diviners attempt to achieve legitimation in a society which identifies strongly with modernity, science, and rationality. As well as associating with modern knowledge production systems, diviners build a positive social image for their occupation via claims to moral authority and appeals to “tradition”. Beyond matters of image management, diviners’ efforts towards legitimation also figure in the social relationships and fundamental cultural values they develop in their practice

    Abstract: Recent world-wide political developments have persuaded many people that we are again living in what Hannah Arendt called “dark times.” Jackson’s response to this age of uncertainty is to remind us how much experience falls outside the concepts and categories we habitually deploy in rendering life manageable and intelligible. Drawing on such critical thinkers as Hannah Arendt, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, and Karl Jaspers, whose work was profoundly influenced by the catastrophes that overwhelmed the world in the middle of the last century, Jackson explores the transformative and redemptive power of marginalized voices in the contemporary conversation of humankind

    Abstract: The increased presence of Somalis has brought much change to East African towns and cities in recent decades, change that has met with ambivalence and suspicion, especially within Kenya. This volume demystifies Somali residence and mobility in urban East Africa, showing its historical depth, and exploring the social, cultural and political underpinnings of Somali-led urban transformation. In so doing, it offers a vivid case study of the transformative power of (forced) migration on urban centres, and the intertwining of urbanity and mobility. The volume will be of interest for readers working in the broader field of migration, as well as anthropology and urban studies

    Abstract: Heritage processes vary according to cultural, national, geographical, and historical contexts. This volume is unique in that it is dedicated to approaching the analysis of heritage through the concepts of social movements. Adapting the latest developments in the field of social movements, the chapters examine the formation, use and contestation of heritage by various official, non-official and activist players and the spaces where such ongoing negotiations and contestation take place. By bringing social movements into heritage studies, the book advocates a shift of perspective in understanding heritage, one that is no longer bound by (at times arbitrary) divisions such as those assumed between the state and people or between experts and non-experts

    Abstract: The Museum of Mankind was an innovative and popular showcase for minority cultures from around the non-Western world from 1970 to 1997. This memoir is a critical appreciation of its achievements in the various roles of a national museum, of the personalities of its staff and of the issues raised in the representation of exotic cultures. Issues of changing museum theory and practice are raised in a detailed case-study that also focuses on the social life of the museum community. This is the first history of a remarkable museum and a memorable interlude in the long history of one of the world’s oldest and greatest museums. Although not presented as an academic study, it should be useful for museum and cultural studies as a well as a wider readership interested in the British Museum

    Abstract: About 150 years ago L. H. Morgan compared relationship terminologies, societal forms, and ideas of property to recognize the interdependence of the three domains. From a new perspective, the book will re-examine, confirm and criticize, Morgan’s findings to conclude that reciprocal affinal relations determine most ‘classificatory’ terminologies and regulate many non-state societies, their property notions, and their rituals. Apart from references to American and Australian features, such holistic socio-cultural constructs will be exemplified by elaborate descriptions of little-known contemporary indigenous societies in highland Middle India, altogether comprising many millions of members

    Abstract: The most clearly identifiable and popular form of Japanese hip-hop, “ghetto” or “gangsta” music has much in common with its corre ponding American subgenres, including its portrayal of life on the margins, confrontational style, and aspirational “rags-to-riches” narrati es. Contrary to depictions of an ethnically and economically homogeneous Japan, gangsta J-hop gives voice to the suffering, deprivation, and social exclusion experienced by many modern Japanese. 24 Bars to Kill offers a fascinating ethnographic account of this music as well as the subculture around it, showing how gangsta hip-hop arises from widespread dissatisfaction and malaise

    Abstract: For Haredi Jews, reproduction is entangled with issues of health, bodily governance and identity. This is an analysis of the ways in which Haredi Jews negotiate healthcare services using theoretical perspectives in political philosophy. This is the first archival and ethnographic study of Haredi Jews in the UK and sits at the intersection of medical anthropology, social history and Jewish studies. It will allow readers to understand how reproductive care issues affect this growing minority population

    Abstract: Petra, Jordan became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, and the semi-nomadic Bedouin inhabiting the area were resettled as a consequence. The Bedouin themselves paradoxically became UNESCO Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2005 for the way in which their oral traditions and everyday lives relate to the landscape they no longer live in. Being Bedouin Around Petra asks: How could this happen? And what does it mean to be Bedouin when tourism, heritage protection, national discourse, an Islamic Revival and even New Age spiritualism lay competing claims to the past in the present?

    Abstract: Set in Tanga, a city on the Tanzanian Swahili coast, Dominik Mattes examines the implementation of antiretroviral HIV-treatment (ART) in the area, exploring the manifold infrastructural and social fragilities of treatment provision in public HIV clinics as well as patients’ multi-layered struggles of coming to terms with ART in their everyday lives. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the book shows that, notwithstanding the massive rollout of ART, providing treatment and living a life with HIV in settings like Tanga continue to entail social, economic, and moral challenges and long-term uncertainties, which contradict the global rhetoric of the “normalization of HIV”

    Abstract: For more than half a century, discourses on the Nazi past have powerfully shaped German social and cultural policy. Specifically, an institutional determination not to forget has expressed a “duty of remembrance” through commemorative activities and educational curricula. But as the horrors of the Third Reich retreat ever further from living memory, what do new generations of Germans actually think about this past? Combining observation, interviews, and archival research, this book provides a rich survey of the perspectives and experiences of German adolescents from diverse backgrounds, revealing the extent to which social, economic, and cultural factors have conditioned how they view representations of Germany’s complex history

    Abstract: 50 years ago, World Bank President Robert McNamara promised to end poverty. Alleviation was to rely on economic growth, resulting in higher incomes stimulated by Bank loans processed by deskbound Washington staff, trickling down to the poorest. Instead, child poverty and homelessness are on the increase everywhere. In this book, anthropologist and former World Bank Advisor Glynn Cochrane argues that instead of Washington’s “management by seclusion,” poverty alleviation requires personal engagement with the poorest by helpers with hands-on local and cultural skills. Here, the author argues, the insights provided by anthropological fieldwork have a crucial role to play

    Abstract: In the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of porters carried ivory every year from the African interior to Bagamoyo, a port town at the Indian Ocean. In the opposite direction, they carried millions of meters of cloth, manufactured in the USA, Europe, and India. This book examines the centrality of the caravan trade, both culturally and economically, to Bagamoyo’s development and cosmopolitan character, while also exploring how this history was silenced when Bagamoyo was instead branded as a slave route town in 2006 in an attempt to qualify it for the UNESCO World Heritage List

    Abstract: Le journaliste sportif serait un « beauf » populiste, proche de la figure du supporter. À rebours de ce cliché, et des analyses qui réduisent la spécialité à un journalisme de connivence sous l'emprise des intérêts marchands, ce livre restitue la pluralité des pratiques et la complexité des logiques qui les sous-tendent. Des rédactions de médias nationaux aux terrains sportifs, en passant par les écoles de journalisme et les associations professionnelles, l'enquête lève le voile sur ce métier un peu singulier, caractéristique de la double évolution du journalisme contemporain. D'un côté, la concurrence médiatique et le renouvellement du personnel ont pour effet une diversification des modèles d'excellence avec notamment le déploiement de registres critiques et caustiques. Cette tendance est d'autant plus forte que les institutions (sportives) médiatisées renforcent leur contrôle sur l'information engendrant, en réponse, des stratégies de contournement de la part des reporters. De l'autre, cette autonomisation est très fortement limitée par les contraintes pesant sur le travail quotidien des producteurs de l'information de grande diffusion (pression managériale, alignement sur les attentes supposées du public, course au scoop, écriture dans l'urgence, dépendance aux sources officielles...). Produit d'un ensemble de facteurs mis en évidence dans cet ouvrage, l'offre médiatique dominante nourrit un spectacle dit « populaire », participant, ainsi, à la reproduction du sport professionnel et de son ordre socio-économique inégalitaire

    Abstract: Les dernières décennies ont vu se multiplier les situations conflictuelles liées aux interventions publiques visant à requalifier les espaces, à leur prescrire une vocation ou à encadrer leurs usages. Si les conflits autour des grands projets d'aménagement ont été assez largement analysés, les mobilisations locales ont beaucoup moins attiré l'attention des chercheurs, laissant ainsi le champ libre à des interprétations générales, souvent réductrices, voire dépréciatives. Essayer d'en restituer la richesse, et de mieux saisir leurs significations, leurs modes d'ancrage et leurs dynamiques est l'objectif de cet ouvrage. Les contributions qu'il rassemble reposent sur des enquêtes de type ethnographique, à la croisée de plusieurs champs académiques (science politique, sociologie, anthropologie, géographie), mais guidées par une préoccupation commune : considérer les mondes familiers comme des espaces de critique sociale et de revendication politique. Une hypothèse centrale parcourt l'ouvrage : ce qu'expriment les mobilisations étudiées est moins une « crise de l'intérêt général », entendue dans le sens d'un repli vers le cadre de vie, que l'inverse, c'est-à-dire la revendication de prendre part à l'action publique à partir d'une attention au proche. Elles témoignent des transformations des espaces du politique, dont elles sont une expression renouvelée plutôt que le symptôme d'une crise profonde

    Abstract: Si les inégalités éducatives sont l'objet d'une abondante littérature scientifique depuis les années 1960, la publication depuis 2000 de résultats d'enquêtes internationales telles PISA montre la permanence de cette question. Elle est au cœur des débats sur l'éducation auxquels cet ouvrage veut contribuer avec une triple originalité : la prise en compte de l'espace pour analyser ces inégalités ; une appréhension large de la notion d'éducation, quand les inégalités éducatives sont souvent abordées sous l'angle de la différenciation des cursus scolaires ; une approche pluridisciplinaire qui permet de saisir la complexité des processus à l'œuvre dans la production des inégalités. Les contributions montrent que les expériences éducatives des enfants et des adolescents dépendent de leurs conditions sociales et, plus largement, des dimensions géographique, politique, culturelle et symbolique des espaces qui constituent leur quotidien. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux chercheurs, aux étudiants, aux décideurs, aux professionnels de l'éducation, aux parents, et à tout lecteur désireux de mieux comprendre les parcours éducatifs en France, avec en particulier la prise en compte de la dimension spatiale encore peu connue

    Abstract: La défaite électorale est un phénomène structurant de la vie politique démocratique. Rares sont les hommes politiques à ne jamais y avoir été confrontés, soit directement en tant que candidats, soit indirectement en tant que militants, collaborateurs ou membres d'un comité de campagne. Cet ouvrage propose une plongée du côté de ces battus des élections, qui, éclipsés par les glorieux vainqueurs, n'ont jusqu'à présent suscité qu'un intérêt de recherche réduit. En réunissant des contributions empiriquement fondées sur des expériences variées de défaites électorales, dans différents contextes historiques, géographiques et politiques, il se donne pour objectif de mieux saisir les enjeux symboliques et matériels de la défaite aux niveaux individuel et collectif. Trois angles d'analyse complémentaires sont plus particulièrement explorés par les auteurs : le premier centré sur la production du verdict de défaite, le deuxième sur les potentielles bifurcations biographiques des battus et enfin le troisième sur les appropriations partisanes de la défaite. Les études de la défaite « au concret » ici réunies ouvrent ainsi des pistes de recherche originales pour interroger de manière novatrice les processus de (dé)construction des carrières politiques, d'engagement et de désengagement politique, de transformation des milieux partisans ou encore de définition des règles de la compétition électorale

    Abstract: La promulgation de la loi sur le devoir de vigilance, le 27 mars 2017, a marqué un tournant majeur dans la définition de la responsabilité des entreprises. Faisant suite au drame du Rana Plaza - l'effondrement d'une usine bangladaise en 2013 - et à l'indignation suscitée par l'impunité des entreprises donneuses d'ordre après le décès de 1 138 ouvriers textiles, cette loi française oblige désormais les grandes sociétés à prévenir les atteintes graves envers les droits humains et l'environnement dans leur chaîne d'approvisionnement. En réalité, la révolution opérée par la loi sur le devoir de vigilance n'est pas tant d'avoir établi une responsabilité des donneurs d'ordre, qui existait déjà sous d'autres formes, que d'en avoir fait une obligation légale. C'est ce que montre cet ouvrage en décrivant comment, depuis les années 1990, des mouvements militants ont d'abord poussé les entreprises à prendre des engagements volontaires pour améliorer les conditions de travail chez leurs fournisseurs, avant de remettre en question ces démarches d'autorégulation. En retraçant ainsi les origines de la loi sur le devoir de vigilance, l'ouvrage invite aussi à en interroger les promesses et à en suivre le devenir

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage remet en cause une lecture persistante dans la sociologie de l'action collective qui voit dans les organisations et leur développement une convergence des modes d'action, de fonctionnement et des valeurs. En portant l'analyse du changement au cœur de celles qui ont fait de l'environnement une cause à défendre, il démontre au contraire la remarquable continuité qui continue de caractériser leurs trajectoires respectives. La comparaison couvre cinq organisations parties prenantes des luttes les plus emblématiques du mouvement environnemental en France (de la cause anti-nucléaire à la défense de la Loire) et représentant ses différentes tendances (écologiste et de conservation) : les Amis de la Terre, France Nature Environnement, Greenpeace, la Ligue de protection des oiseaux et le WWF France. Conformément à une perspective pragmatiste, l'approche organisationnelle développée ici explique leurs différences en étudiant les compétences distinctes qu'elles construisent au travers de pressions internes (celles des membres qui les animent) et externes (celles exprimées ou perçues des publics auxquels elles s'adressent). L'originalité de cette démonstration consiste à articuler changement dans l'organisation et changement dans les politiques publiques sans a priori faire du design de l'organisation un résultat de leur environnement ou un levier d'action sur celui-ci

    Abstract: L'Union européenne est en crise. Pourtant l'attractivité des métiers de l'Europe politique ne se dément pas : de nombreux jeunes souhaitent s'orienter vers des carrières en lien avec les institutions européennes. Partant de ce paradoxe, cet ouvrage présente une enquête sur la genèse de la vocation européenne d'un ensemble de candidats aux métiers de l'Europe politique en France. Il analyse les dispositions favorables à cette vocation et la différenciation des profils vocationnels au principe d'une diversité à la fois des sens donnés à l'orientation vers l'UE, des socialisations européennes, ainsi que des trajectoires professionnelles. La part circonscrite de ceux qui souhaitent vivre de l'Europe et pour l'Europe, illustre la perte d'importance de la vocation au sein du champ de l'Eurocratie, et tout particulièrement de ses zones périphériques. Cette enquête apporte une contribution à la compréhension des processus plus généraux d'intégration européenne, d'européanisation, et dans une certaine mesure des aspects sociologiques de la crise traversée par l'Europe

    Abstract: Comment rendre compte de la pluralité des expériences du vieillir, de leur transformation et des manières dont nos sociétés en régulent les tensions, sinon en les replaçant dans leurs contextes et leurs dynamiques sociales ? Dans le prolongement des analyses de Simone Pennec à l'université de Bretagne Occidentale (Brest) et à partir d'objets et de terrains d'études variés en France principalement, et aussi en Belgique, au Brésil, au Canada, en Suisse, au Mexique, cet ouvrage analyse les manières dont les individus articulent leurs différents engagements au cours de la vie. Il montre comment certaines manières d'avancer en âge peuvent être soutenues ou au contraire déqualifiées. Les quatre parties de l'ouvrage rendent compte des effets des catégorisations des politiques publiques, de la participation des personnes vieillissantes aux différents espaces sociaux, du statut et des expériences des personnes et de leur entourage face aux transformations liées au vieillissement et du travail de soin, de la diversité de ses contextes, de ses registres et de ses acteurs. Cet ouvrage est destiné à des enseignants, des étudiants et des chercheurs en sciences sociales, à des praticiens de l'intervention sociale et des professionnels de santé, comme à l'ensemble des acteurs professionnels, politiques, militants ou citoyens concernés. Il a été coordonné par cinq enseignant·e·s-chercheur·e·s en sociologie : Françoise Le Borgne-Uguen (UBO-Brest), Florence Douguet (UBS-Lorient), Guillaume Fernandez (UBO-Brest), Nicole Roux (UBO-Brest) et Geneviève Cresson (Université Lille 1)

    Abstract: Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are prevalent conditions all over the world. The groups at highest risk are children, pre-menopausal women and socially disadvantaged people. Diagnose of ID using a full blood examination and iron studies can be difficulted by concomitant inflammation. Management of ID involves identification and treatment of its cause, as well as effective iron replacement. Patients who fail to respond to iron replacement will performed an endoscopy to exclude internal bleeding. Both enteral and parenteral iron are effective at replacing iron. For adult patients, we recommend trialling daily oral iron (30-100 mg of iron) as the first-line therapy. Patients who fail to respond to oral iron replacement can be safely managed with intravenous iron

    Keywords: Materials science
    Abstract: To have unimaginably outstanding useful properties (physical, mechanical, electrical, optical, chemical, and magnetic) in a single material design is a highly challenging task in the material science community, which can be achieved through nanocomposites. These nanocomposites can be produced from all conventional materials, which include polymers, metals/alloys, and ceramics, by modifying their internal structures. Due to modification of the structures of all kinds of conventional materials, at either the nano or ultra-fine level, the materials exhibit superior performance, which is a boon for all fields of science. In general, nanocomposite materials can be manufactured by solid-state processing techniques, liquid metallurgy, ex-situ and in-situ powder metallurgy, and other basic science synthesis routes. Furthermore, the possibility of making environmentally friendly materials is also possible with nanotechnology. Therefore, to investigate and demonstrate developments in the field of nanocomposites, this book is targeted at all the scientific personnel working in this field

The strong impulse to research this topic has produced in recent years a large literature that documents the high level of complexity of the issue. Due to this complexity, a reasoned multidimensional analysis able to integrate expertise of different disciplines (neurology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, and neuroscience) is necessary. This book offers an excellent synopsis of perspectives, methods, empirical evidences, and international references. It represents an extraordinary opportunity to target challenging unmet needs and to outline new horizons in Parkinson's disease research

Glycerol enhancement has therefore become a priority to improve the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. Nevertheless, the multifunctionality of glycerol makes it a promising precursor for different types of production (fuel/biofuel, chemical products). This conversion has therefore become a subject of multifaceted research that requires an exchange of knowledge across many sectors. In this book, different disciplines (chemistry, biology, engineering, etc.) have been taken into consideration to propose an interdisciplinary point of view on different aspects

Despite their technological importance and relatively long history of utilization, our understanding of the existing set of transparent conduction oxide (TCO) material is only now receiving the kind of combined fundamental/experimental material research attention that will inevitably lead to new material discoveries and novel applications. Overall, it is clear that transparent conducting films and transparent conductors are a vibrant field that is advancing rapidly across an ever-broadening spectrum of applications. We hope this book will provide a valuable reference for those interested in the topic and stimulate additional development of new TCO materials and their applications

    Abstract: The clinical syndrome of preeclampsia is due to vasospasm, endothelial dysfunction, and altered red cell zeta potential. It is a culmination of multiple etiologies and pathophysiologies modified by epigenetics and the human immune system. Since the etiology and pathogenesis of preeclampsia are segregated and multifactorial, there is no single clinical, biophysical, or biochemical marker that can predict all types of this condition. This book provides a set of tentative specific prediction markers that can be used to identify different subtypes of preeclampsia, classify pathogenesis, categorize treatment, and identify early signs of complications

    Abstract: The stimulation of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs is proven to improve their productivity to an extent that has rendered them economically viable. Generally, the stimulation design is a complex process dependent on intertwining factors such as the history of the formation, rock and reservoir fluid type, lithology and structural layout of the formation, cost, time, etc. A holistic grasp of these can be daunting, especially for people without sufficient experience and/or expertise in the exploitation of unconventional hydrocarbon reserves. This book presents the key facets integral to producing unconventional resources, and how the different components, if pieced together, can be used to create an integrated stimulation design. Areas covered are as follows: stimulation methods, fracturing fluids, mixing and behavior of reservoir fluids, assessment of reservoir performance, integration of surface drilling data, estimation of geomechanical properties and hydrocarbon saturation, and health and safety. Exploitation of Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources: Hydraulic Fracturing and Other Recovery and Assessment Techniques is an excellent introduction to the subject area of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, but it also complements existing information in the same discipline. It is an essential text for higher education students and professionals in academia, research, and the industry

    Abstract: An oscillator is dedicated to the generation of signals. It is used in computers, telecoms, watchmaking, astronomy, and metrology. It can be a pendulum, an electronic oscillator based on quartz technology, an optoelectronic oscillator, or an atomic clock, depending on its application. Since water clocks of antiquity, mechanical clocks invented during the thirteenth century, and the discovery of piezoelectricity by Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880, oscillators have made great progress. This book does not attempt to tell the story of oscillators, but rather provides an overview of particular oscillator structures through examples from mathematics to oscillators, and from the millimeter scale to the vibration of a building, focusing on recent developments, as we live in a time when technology and mathematical analysis play a vital role

    Abstract: This book presents some of the most important results concerning atmospheric turbulence and some of its effects on the propagation of a light beam. Atmospheric turbulence causes fluctuations in both the intensity and the phase of the beam and still must be understood and modelized for applications in photonics or environmental metrology. The future of free-space optical (FSO) communication through atmospheric turbulence channels is especially of interest and research on high bit-rate communications attracts more and more interest as an alternative to radio links because of bandwidth, spectrum, and security issues. Some of the current solutions for improving FSO communications are presented in this book

    Keywords: Analytical chemistry
    Abstract: Analytical pyrolysis deals with the structural identification and quantitation of pyrolysis products with the ultimate aim of establishing the identity of the original material and the mechanisms of its thermal decomposition. The pyrolytic process is carried out in a pyrolyzer interfaced with analytical instrumentation such as gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS), or with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (GC/FTIR). By measurement and identification of pyrolysis products, the molecular composition of the original sample can often be reconstructed.This book is the outcome of contributions by experts in the field of pyrolysis and includes applications of the analytical pyrolysis-GC/MS to characterize the structure of synthetic organic polymers and lignocellulosic materials as well as cellulosic pulps and isolated lignins, solid wood, waste particle board, and bio-oil. The thermal degradation of cellulose and biomass is examined by scanning electron micrography, FTIR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis, and TG/MS. The calorimetric determination of high heating values of different raw biomass, plastic waste, and biomass/plastic waste mixtures and their by-products resulting from pyrolysis is described

    Keywords: Biomedical engineering
    Abstract: Osteochondral defects can be challenging to treat, first, because the damaged articular cartilage has a poor intrinsic reparative capability, and second, because these defects cause chronic pain and serious disability. That is why cartilage repair remains one of the most challenging issues of musculoskeletal medicine. Arthroscopic and open techniques that have been developed over the last two decades intend to promote the success of complete repair of the articular cartilage defects; nevertheless, these therapies cannot always offer 100% success. Nowadays, cartilage tissue engineering is an emerging technique for the regeneration of cartilage tissue. Taking into consideration these perspectives, this book aims to present a summary of cartilage tissue engineering, including development, recent progress, and major steps taken toward the regeneration of functional cartilage tissue. Special emphasis is placed on the role of stimulating factors, including growth factors, gene therapies, as well as scaffolds, including natural, synthetic, and nanostructured

    Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is a widely used technology for gene silencing and has become a key tool in a myriad of research and lead discoveries. In recent years, the mechanism of RNAi agents has been well investigated, and the technique has been optimized for better effectiveness and safety. On the other hand, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated Cas9/gRNA system is a recent, novel, targeted genome-editing technique derived from the bacterial immune system. Recent advances in gene-editing research and technologies have enabled the CRISPR Cas9 system to become a popular tool for sequence-specific gene editing to correct and modify eukaryotic systems. In this book, we will focus on the mechanisms, applications, regulations (their pros and cons), and various ways in which RNAi-based methods and CRIPSR-Cas9 technology have stimulated the modulation of gene expression, thereby making them a promising therapeutic tool to treat and prevent complex diseases and disorders

The substances in milk provide energy and antibodies that help protect against infection. Most farmers are paid for the quality and composition of their milk. Whole milk, once approved for use, is pumped into storage silos where it undergoes pasteurization, homogenization, separation, and further processing. Milk is a highly perishable commodity because it is an excellent medium for the growth of microorganisms - particularly bacterial pathogens - that can cause spoilage as well as diseases in consumers. Milk processing allows the preservation of milk for days, weeks, or months and helps to reduce food-borne illness

    Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, though unfamiliar as an aggressive invader, has gained importance in the scientific community due to its association with cystic fibrosis (CF) and its ability to construct biofilms resilient to host defense. The chronic nature of CF allows this bacterium to colonize, adapt, and evolve at its own pace, thereby causing further complications in CF patients. With its huge genetic repertoire and plasticity of the genome, P. aeruginosa has been able to alter its contents by way of deletions, insertions, inversions, and so on. Therefore scientists and researchers are eager to study this bacterium in diverse and unusual niches. Written by experts from around the world, this book describes and discusses the various mechanisms of adaptation and evolution displayed by P. aeruginosa

    Abstract: A vast amount has been written about NIV, including books and guidelines hence we thought to produce a book called "Noninvasive Ventilation in Medicine - Recent Updates" to cover the untouched components of such this machine. In this book, we tried to include advances in the NIV and the how NIV could be used in synchrony with the mechanical ventilator including a weaning stage. The clinical scope of NIV is changing day-to-day and its rapidly emerging and constantly changing field includes many more indications of utilization of NIV. The current book contains a rich extract from the masters in the NIV field who have vast experience of NIV in areas other than conventional indications and would like to share their experience with all of the readers. Various challenges in NIV patient care include noncompliance, confused, hypercapnic patient or small children coping with a mask, avoiding interface leaks, and balancing ventilatory needs with patient tolerance

    Abstract: From time immemorial fermented foods have undoubtedly contributed to the progress of modern societies. Historically, ferments have been present in virtually all human cultures worldwide, and nowadays natives from many ancient cultures still conduct a wide variety of food fermentations using deep-rooted recipes and processes. Within the last four centuries, scientific research has started to unravel many aspects of the biological process behind fermentations, which has contributed to the improvement of many industrial processes. During our journey in the research field, we have always been attracted to the development of scientific research around fermentations, especially autochthonous ferments: a natural repository of novel biomolecules and biological processes that will positively impact on many application fields from health, to food, to materials

    Abstract: This book contains well-written monographs within the broad spectrum of applied mathematics, offering an interesting reading of some of the current trends and problems in this fascinating and critically important field of science to a broad category of researchers and practitioners. Recent developments in high-performance computing are radically changing the way we do numerics. As the size of problems is expected to grow very large in the future, the gap between fast and slow algorithms is growing rapidly. Novel classes of numerical methods with reduced computational complexity are therefore needed to make the rigorous numerical solution of difficult problems arising in an industrial setting more affordable. The book is structured in four distinct parts, according to the purpose and approaches used in the development of the contributions, ranging from optimization techniques to graph-oriented approaches and approximation theory, providing a good mix of both theory and practice

    Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) refers to frequencies between the upper limit of audio frequencies (〉 20 KHz) and the lower limit of infrared frequencies (〈 300 GHz). The increased popularity and easy operation of RF devices for different end users and corporate applications such as RFID, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Wi-Fi devices and sensors have raised the demand for small power and less off-chip components that tend to achieve integrated circuits with added security and convenience. Concurrent technologies allow the scientists to reinvent low-power, high-performance and reliable RF systems, circuits and components for many home and commercial applications. The features of RF systems, circuits and components are still being researched and integrated in existing systems to create marketable and potential new RF products for more exciting applications

    Keywords: Medical diagnosis
    Abstract: Reliable diagnosis is the cornerstone, starting point, and prerequisite of successful treatment. Therefore, development of innovative diagnostic technologies represents a hot topic in medical research. Liquid biopsy is a novel, minimally invasive laboratory evaluation concept for diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive testing, as well as dynamic monitoring of treatment or disease course. To achieve these goals, a multitude of specific, targeted tests can be performed to detect free nucleic acids, exosomes, microRNAs, tumor-educated platelets, and whole cells of tumor or fetal origin in different biological fluids, including blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and others. Although tissue biopsy has long been considered the gold standard of diagnostics, especially regarding malignant tumors, liquid biopsy has the advantages of a non-invasive approach and thus low risk of complications. It is technically feasible even in serious general status or if tumors or metastases are not easily accessible using conventional tissue biopsy. The testing is fast, exact, and can be repeated to ensure real-time follow-up. In contrast to classic tumor markers, liquid biopsy is distinguished by high specificity at genomic, proteomic, and cellular levels. It is expected to equal and exceed the diagnostic value of tissue biopsy. The field of liquid biopsies is developing rapidly regarding the selection of targets, technological improvements, and quality assessment. This book, written by a global team of recognized scientists, comprises state-of-the-art reviews on the current knowledge and advances in the technologies and software for liquid biopsy. Examples of practical application of liquid biopsy to evaluate thyroid cancer, multiple myeloma, etc. are discussed as well. The book is intended to serve as a reference for scientists and clinicians interested in the development and practical implementation of liquid biopsy
