Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Albert Schweitzer fut un homme de premier plan dans bien des domaines. Comme theologien, philosophe, musicien et surtout comme medecin, il est universellement connu et entoure d'un veritable mythe. Contrairement a ce qui est communement admis, c'est a Schweitzer lui-meme que la construction de ce mythe est pour la plus grande partie redevable. L'essentiel de ce que l'on sait sur la vie et la carriere de l'illustre medecin de la foret equatoriale a comme source ses ecrits autobiographiques. L'originalite de la presente etude est de confronter pour la premiere fois a la realite historique les informations livrees par Schweitzer relativement a sa carriere, ses recherches et sa philosophie. De cette confrontation il ressort que, dans bien des cas, Schweitzer se depeint sous un jour qui est peu conforme a la realite.

La « question du Québec » se pose dès l¿adoption de l¿Acte de l¿Amérique du Nord britannique en 1867 et n¿a jamais cessé depuis de mobiliser le débat constitutionnel au Canada. Réactivée pendant la Révolution tranquille dans les années 1960, elle n¿a pas trouvé la réponse attendue. Depuis le rapatriement de la Constitution canadienne initié en 1981 et mis en ¿uvre en 1982 par Pierre Elliott Trudeau, l¿imbroglio constitutionnel est dans l¿impasse. L¿esprit de réconciliation ou de compromis s¿évanouit suite à l¿échec de l¿Accord du lac Meech (1990) et de l¿Accord de Charlottetown (1992). Depuis deux décennies le dialogue de sourds entre le Québec et le Canada semble s¿être fossilisé. Est-il encore envisageable de trouver une solution acceptable pour dépasser la dualité fondatrice du Canada ? L¿objectif de ce livre est d¿explorer les termes du débat social, politique et constitutionnel autour de la « question du Québec » telle que celleci a été posée par les acteurs sociaux et politiques tant au Québec que dans le reste du Canada. Ce livre met en lumière la complexité de la crise constitutionnelle canadienne. Contenu : Pierre Hamel et Jean-Michel Lacroix : Le Québec et le Canada. De la crise constitutionnelle à des accommodements improbables : peut-on sortir de l¿impasse politique et constitutionnelle ? ¿ Philip Resnick : Le Canada : une fédération territoriale ou multinationale ? ¿ Réjean Pelletier : Le renouvellement de la fédération canadienne. Quand l¿immobilisme tient lieu de politique ¿ Gérard Boismenu : A-t-on toujours quelque chose à se dire ? Quand les références de la communication politique fichent le camp ¿ Joseph Yvon Thériault : L¿épuisement des sources endogènes du fédéralisme canadien ¿ Dimitri Bonnet : Le Bloc québécois et l¿unité nationale (1990-2011) ¿ Caroline Andrew : Les métropoles dans le système politique canadien ¿ Bob Young: Quebec and Canada: Associated States ¿ Éric Montpetit : Pour une approche incrémentale plutôt que visionnaire du fédéralisme canadien.

Ce livre s'inspire des experiences personnelles d'un diplomate espagnol qui a travaille entre 1986 et 2013 a Bruxelles, aupres des institutions europeennes et de l'OTAN. Dans un premier temps, l'auteur evoque son passage a la Commission Europeenne, sous l'egide de Jacques Delors, au moment ou la construction du marche unique battait son plein, l'Allemagne se reunifiait, la nouvelle Union s'elargissait vers l'Est, se projetant aussi vers la Mediterranee et l'Amerique Latine, et la paix au Proche Orient paraissait possible. Se trouvant aupres de l'OTAN le11 septembre 2001, l'auteur fut egalement un temoin privilegie du moment ou le vent tourna et ou l'Alliance, apres avoir cru qu'elle pouvait se passer de sa politique de defense traditionnelle face a un agresseur unique et bien identifie, et initier une nouvelle etape centree sur le maintien de la securite dans les Balkans, dut faire face a un tout autre ennemi: le terrorisme islamiste. Le dernier chapitre decrit les deux annees pendant lesquelles, alors que Juan Prat etait delegue de la Catalogne aupres des Institutions europeennes, se propagea un mouvement promu par des groupes politiques separatistes qui, s'appuyant sur les sentiments identitaires et une propagande bien montee, revendiquerent l'independance de la region. Ce temoignage se conclut par des commentaires personnels sur la situation de l'Union Europeenne, de l'OTAN et plus generalement du monde apres la premiere pandemie du XXIeme siecle, pour laquelle - encore une fois - personne n'etait prepare. Tout cela dans un scenario nouveau avec, en toile de fond, la Chine prete a redevenir l'Empire du Centre, dans un monde en pleine effervescence. Ce livre s'inspire des experiences personnelles d'un diplomate espagnol qui a travaille entre 1986 et 2013 a Bruxelles. De passage a la Commission Europeenne sous J. Delors, il fut, aupres de l'OTAN, temoin privilegie des evenements du 11 septembre 2001. Il fut egalement representant de la Catalogne aupres de l'Union europeenne.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. After reflecting On the European and Asian origins of legal and political systems: views from Korea, Kazakhstan and France (2018), the authors address in this book three intertwined issues. First, how systems that were established long ago are challenged by the necessity to adapt to change both in time, rapidly after the end of the cold war, and in space, across the continent of Eurasia and no longer simply in their sub-region. Second, how these systems evolve both in a sui generis manner and adopt, each for itself, reforms at the national and sub-regional levels; and also in a reciprocal manner, learn and borrow from each other towards a regional legal order in the making. Third, how extra-judicial evolutions, such as the logistical and commercial dynamics of the Belt and Road Initiative(s) appear more and more as the source or the cause of that very change affecting all Eurasian actors and interests. Examined elsewhere from a broad social sciences perspective, in the publication Cross-border exchanges: Eurasian perspectives on logistics and diplomacy (2019), these issues are here systematically analysed by a mix of conceptual and doctrinal perspectives and of textual, jurisprudential and positivist perspectives. Naturally, the challenge within the challenge to ascertain is whether a pan-regional or global legal model would be capable of impacting change in general and legal change in particular as part of the post-cold-war 2:, where the political-military legacy is overcome by and yields to business concerns reaching beyond cautious legal constructions. A la suite dun ouvrage sur les origines europeennes et asiatiques des systemes juridiques et politiques dEurasie, ce livre decrit comment ceux-ci sadaptent aux changements quils subissent, notamment de la part des innovations regionales comme les Nouvelles Routes de la Soie, la Cooperation de Shanghai et lUnion Economique Eurasienne.

This edition is the first synthesis published in English, dealing with the general history of the postal services or the Post Office, in France, from the origins to the present time gathering different studies. Two early books written by one of the first historian of the postal Ancient Regime and promotor of the French postal museum in Paris, Eugène Vaillé, had already founded a large part of the French historiography about the postal issue:Histoire des postes françaises jusqu'à la Révolution (Presses universitaires de France, 1946), Histoire des postes françaises depuis la Révolution (Presses universitaires de France, 1947). Then, a recent collective work, directed by Muriel Le Roux, historian at the CNRS and Sébastien Richez, historian at the comité pour lhistoire de La Poste, studies the contemporary history of this French administration, transformed in a public company in 1991: Brève histoire de la Poste en France depuis 1945(PIE Peter Lang, 2016). These texts have been translated by Kenneth BERRY for Vaillé, and Georgina BANFIELD for those edited by Le Roux and Richez. ISBN 9782807607965 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 432.

Les participants rencontrent des experts, echangent entre eux et formulent des recommandations qui sont transmises aux decideurs. Nous pouvons par exemple penser a l'Assemblee citoyenne irlandaise sur l'avortement ou la convention citoyenne pour le climat qui a suivi le mouvement des gilets jaunes en France. L'usage du sort dans la selection des participants est justifie par la volonte d'incarner un ideal de participation egalitaire et le desir d'augmenter la diversite des points de vue echanges dans la deliberation. Cependant, la majorite des personnes recrutees declinent aujourd'hui l'invitation a participer a ces dispositifs. Cet ouvrage tente de comprendre pourquoi peu de citoyens sont attires par ces innovations democratiques censees revivifier les regimes politiques contemporains. Il est base sur une recherche de terrain dont la principale originalite consiste a interroger des personnes tirees au sort qui ont refuse de prendre part a des dispositifs deliberatifs. L'ouvrage questionne des lors les ideaux, mais egalement les limites, du developpement d'une democratie inclusive. Pour repondre au malaise democratique contemporain, de plus en plus d'innovations democratiques sont mises en place pour associer les citoyens a la prise de decision publique. Cependant, la plupart de ceux-ci refusent d'y participer. Cet ouvrage tente de comprendre pourquoi a travers une approche comprehensive par entretiens.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Esta investigacion opera con los productos culturales que se encuadran en las poeticas del fin del mundo, las distopias, las crisis actuales provocadas por fenomenos naturales o por la intervencion del ser humano en el deterioro fisico, asi como las visiones apocalipticas que en nuestros dias intentan explicar la deriva del planeta y reflexionar sobre la situacion pre y pospandemica. Asimismo, se tratan algunos aspectos relacionados con estos problemas actuales alrededor de conceptos asociados a la ecocritica. Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX y las primeras decadas del actual, transitan por la literatura y el pensamiento de America Latina muchos textos distopicos, centrados en las consecuencias de la posmodernidad, la globalizacion, el nuevo orden economico, social y politico mundial, las nuevas tiranias, el cambio climatico y las plagas y pandemias, que se explicitan en generos como la ciencia ficcion, el cyberpunk, las ecodistopias, los apocalipsis y postapocalipsis, campos abiertos y muy bien cosechados sobre todo en la narrativa de nuestra America. En este ensayo, tras un panorama general, se integran las dos lineas fundamentales: una dirigida a las distopias, las crisis generales, apocalipsis y desastres, y otra cercana a problemas de ecocritica y ecoliteratura, en la que se alojan reflexiones sobre los ambitos naturales, rurales y selvaticos. Esta investigacion opera con los productos culturales y literarios latinoamericanos que se encuadran en las poeticas del fin del mundo, las distopias, las crisis actuales provocadas por fenomenos naturales y por la intervencion del hombre en el deterioro fisico.

Broschur. Condizione: Sehr gut. 159 Seiten : Illustrations ; 21 cm, Tadelloses Exemplar. - Que cherche-t-on à faire des enfants dans lécole maternelle daujourdhui ? Quelles sont les caractéristiques actuelles de cette instance de socialisation ? En posant ces questions, Ghislain Leroy fait le choix original de reprendre le questionnement des sociologues pionniers de lécole maternelle (Dannepond, Plaisance, Chamboredon et Prévot) pour lappliquer à lépoque contemporaine. Après avoir visé les connaissances, leffort et lapplication (années 1950), puis lexpressivité enfantine (années 1960-1970), lécole maternelle serait aujourdhui régie par une recherche de performance. Les nouvelles politiques publiques (new public management) ont entraîné un profond remaniement des programmes et de la professionnalité des professeur(e)s des écoles. Ces nouvelles exigences de rentabilité scolaire ont modifié les pratiques et choix pédagogiques ordinaires. Elles ont donné naissance à de nouvelles exigences disciplinaires, cognitives, émotionnelles et de maîtrise corporelle. Elles sont autant de déclinaisons dun nouvel idéal : lenfant performant car hautement autonome et responsable de lui-même. Articulant les sociologies de lenfance et des enfants à la sociologie des inégalités socio-scolaires, lauteur montre aussi combien ces nouvelles attentes savèrent défavorables aux enfants de milieu populaire. Elles présupposent des comportements quils nont pas appris dans leur milieu dorigine. Ils sont les outsiders de cette temporalité de lurgence. Létude se clôt par une analyse du succès récent de la pédagogie Montessori en maternelle, qui ne paraît pas remettre en cause ces définitions de lenfance actuellement dominantes, bien au contraire.

Broschur. Condizione: Wie neu. 295 Seiten ; 21 cm, Tadelloses, neuwertiges Exemplar. - Enfin ! Depuis lavènement dInternet, les 99,9% damoureux des films et des séries qui nexercent pas la profession de critique peuvent se faire entendre. Mieux, ils peuvent passer sans effort de la position devant à la position depuis : sasseoir devant un écran et sexprimer depuis un écran sont en effet devenus deux attitudes communes. Les films et les séries arrivent sur les terminaux domestiques ; tout de suite après et quelquefois même pendant leur diffusion, les avis et les analyses partent en sens inverse. Une autre nouveauté consiste en la diversification de la parole critique, confinée jusquici à lécrit ou aux conversations éphémères. Internet et la démocratisation des machines qui accompagne son essor ajoutent aux mots toutes sortes dimages, de sons et de manipulations audiovisuelles, laissant là encore loin derrière le modèle séculaire du critique professionnel écrivant son papier. Comment étudier ces bouleversements ? Comment réagir devant labondance des critiques postées, la variété de leurs formes dexpression, linteractivité quelles engendrent, sans parler du rapport à la professionnalisation quentretiennent leurs auteurs, surtout quand ils atteignent le statut de « vlogueur » vedette ? Une seule manière possible : linterdisciplinarité. Le présent ouvrage réunit donc les contributions de spécialistes en provenance de champs divers (sociologie, Gender et Cultural Studies, Sciences de linformation-communication, etc.), sans oublier les acteurs les plus en vue de cette révolution de la parole critique, les « vlogueurs ».

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Face aux nouveaux et nombreux defis de la mondialisation, Jean-Marc Ferry actualise l'ancienne idee philosophique du cosmopolitisme dont les principes sont consideres comme une alternative adaptee a notre monde multipolaire. Le present ouvrage propose d'en retracer l'architecture: ses aspects essentiels et ses defis. Il montre qu'a partir de sa philosophie de la communication, Ferry analyse d'abord la maniere dont fonctionnent les societes contemporaines en faisant de l'identite reconstructive sa categorie organisatrice. Preoccupe depuis les annees 2000 par l'histoire de l'humanite europeenne , il applique ensuite cette identite contemporaine a l'identite europeenne reconstructive . Son cosmopolitisme processuel tente de concretiser l'idee philosophique du cosmopolitisme kantien dont la structure juridique de base s'adapte a l'echelle de l'Union Europeenne. Il s'agit de construire une unite de survie transnationale puisque l' unite de survie nationale, bien que necessaire, n'est plus suffisante. Il serait donc possible de prolonger l'idee cosmopolitique interpretee dans l'histoire europeenne vers d'autres entites politiques d'envergure continentale. A condition, toutefois, que les pays concernes parviennent d'abord et avant tout a former une unite de survie nationale indispensable a toute unite de survie transnationale. Jean-Marc Ferry actualise l'ancienne idee philosophique du cosmopolitisme. Cet ouvrage propose d'en retracer l'architecture et montre qu'a partir de sa philosophie de la communication, Ferry analyse d'abord la maniere dont fonctionnent les societes contemporaines en faisant de l'identite reconstructive sa categorie organisatrice.
