    The Netherlands and the Oil Crisis (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: The Netherlands played a remarkable role during the October War and the oil crisis of 1973. In secret, the Dutch government sent a substantial amount of ammunition and spare parts to Israel. The Dutch supported Israel also politically. Within the EC they vetoed a more pro-Arab policy. The Arab oil producing countries punished The Netherlands by imposing an oil embargo. The embargo against the Netherlands was intimidating. The Netherlands was dependent on Arab oil. The embargo seemed to threaten the Dutch position in the international oil sector. The government introduced several measures to reduce oil consumption. However, within two months it became clear that oil continued to arrive in Rotterdam. There was in fact no oil shortage in the Netherlands. The Netherlands even profited from the oil crisis. The energy situation in The Netherlands was much better than in other West European countries. The Dutch, therefore, rejected French plans for a more interventionist energy policy. Atlanticism and liberalism were the key words of the Dutch policy during the oil crisis. This book is the result of intensive research in all relevant Dutch archives. The authors had free access to all the files they wanted to see. They also used resources from other countries involved. Many politicians were interviewed. The result is a surprising analysis of the oil crisis of 1973, and of the Dutch role in particular. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Fictions narratives au xxie siècle (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Si le récit reste aujourd’hui fragile dans son retour en grâce, si le réel reste difficile à appréhender par la narration, la fiction peut-elle se glisser dans cet entre-deux ? La fiction peut-elle offrir des formes narratives et discursives inédites ? Peut-elle trouver dans la narration, dont l’attirance cependant doublée de dérision distanciée chez les écrivains d’aujourd’hui se fait nettement sentir, un support générique acceptable ou bien se cherche-t-elle, par l’entremise, et la mise en œuvre d’autres sémiotiques, une échappée belle à la croisée d’autres genres, d’autres supports ? Quelles sont les conditions de possibilité́, en somme, de son renouveau ou de sa survie ? Le présent recueil, issu d’une réflexion collective sur les grandes déterminations linguistiques et formelles des fictions narratives française du xxie siècle, tente donc de dégager les spécificités des écritures contemporaines de fiction par rapport aux écritures narratives du xxe siècle.

    A Continent Moving West? (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: A Continent Moving West? argues that the conceptualization of migration as a one-way or long-term process is becoming increasingly wide of the mark. Rather, east-west labor migration in Europe, in common perhaps with other flows in and from other parts of the world, is diverse, fluid, and influenced by the dynamics of local and sector-specific labor markets and migration-related political regulations. The papers in this book contribute to critical understanding of the east-west migration within the European Union after the 2004 enlargement, from the new to the old member states.

    From War to the Rule of Law (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: As recent events in Iraq demonstrate, countries that have suffered civil war or rule by military regime can face a long, difficult transition to peaceful democracy. Drawing on the experiences of Bosnia, Haiti, Rwanda and Afghanistan, this outstanding volume demonstrates that newly emerging democracies need more than emergency economic support: restoring the rule of law can involve the training of a new police force, for example, or the creation of an international war crimes tribunal. Concluding with specific recommendations for the UN and EU members,Voorhoeve reminds us that disregard for human rights or delay in civilian reconciliation can lead to resurgences of violence.

    Chapter Hou toezicht op de emancipatie! (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: For numerous public interests there are supervisory bodies, such as the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). Drawing on the multidisciplinary Transformative Equality Approach that was developed in the UU Gender and Diversity Hub, we argue that it is high time to establish a Netherlands Authority for Emancipation (NEMA). Rather than putting the onus for emancipation and equality on those who suffer from inequality, the government should take ownership of inequality problems by establishing a supervisory body for effective compliance and enforcement of equal treatment legislation.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: It remains very exceptional when highly gifted women musicians are crowned maestra, conductor of a symphony orchestra. There are various explanations for this deprivation. Contextualised in historical and statistical data, this article zooms in on what I refer to as the ‘baton barrier’. Not so much of an invisible boundary as has become known as the glass ceiling, preventing women their upward mobility, for ages, this musical barrier has been in our face: literally, the image, the portrayal of the traditionally masculine orchestral director.

    Le mouvement hibiste (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Au début du siècle dernier, le sultan du Maroc vient de signer un traité qui place désormais son pays sous le protectorat de la France (30 mars 1912). À l’ombre du maréchal Lyautey, un sultan de substitution, totalement soumis aux nouveaux maîtres français, a été proclamé. Cependant, nombreux sont ceux qui, au Maroc, refusent le fait accompli et se révoltent face à la mainmise étrangère sur le pays. Ainsi, dans le Sud marocain, Moulay Ahmed el Hiba, fils d’un marabout ouest-saharien (Ma el Aïnin), se fait proclamer sultan du Jihad en 1912 ; une première fois à Tiznit, la seconde à Marrakech. Ces événements ont donné naissance à un mouvement qui pendant plus de vingt ans (1912-1934) symbolisera pour ces populations berbères et ouest-sahariennes la résistance à l’avancée inéluctable des troupes coloniales françaises et espagnoles. Fondée sur une analyse croisée d’archives inédites, aussi bien françaises que marocaines, l’auteur fait la lumière sur un événement fondateur de la conquête coloniale du Maroc. Mythifiée, récupérée ou occultée, la figure fondatrice du mouvement hibiste est encore aujourd’hui le sujet d’un conflit mémoriel ayant pour objet l’Ouest saharien.

    Les juifs italiens de Tunisie pendant le fascisme (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Terre de mélanges culturels et de politiques coloniales, la Tunisie a attiré de l’Europe des courants d’immigrations aussi bien que des visées impérialistes. La trajectoire des Juifs italiens, dits Livournais, s’inscrit au carrefour de ces axes. Une communauté enracinée en Tunisie depuis le xviie siècle, mais toujours assimilée au monde européen. Une population cosmopolite, mais jalousement attachée à Livourne et à l’Italie. Une double minorité, à l’égard tant de la nombreuse population juive locale que des cent mille émigrés italiens vivant en Tunisie au début du xxe siècle, mais toujours caractérisée par une forte identité collective. Pendant l’entre-deux-guerres, la place sociale de cette communauté fut remise en cause par une série de phénomènes convergents : l’essor du nationalisme tunisien, les tensions diplomatiques italo-françaises, et surtout par la montée au pouvoir du régime fasciste, résolu à encadrer les communautés d’émigration dans sa politique impériale. Sur la base de fonds d’archives et de témoignages inédits, ce travail reconstruit le parcours des Juifs italiens de Tunisie face aux stratégies de fascisation de Rome, en interrogeant les croisements identitaires dans les contextes d’émigration, la question de l’adhésion de masse au totalitarisme et le poids des médiateurs au sein des sociétés coloniales.

    Acting Emotions (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Actors and actresses play characters such as the embittered Medea, or the lovelorn Romeo, or the grieving and tearful Hecabe. The theatre audience holds its breath, and then sparks begin to fly. But what about the actor? Has he been affected by the emotions of the character he is playing? What's going on inside his mind? The styling of emotions in the theatre has been the subject of heated debate for centuries. In fact, Diderot in his Paradoxe sur le comedien, insisted that most brilliant actors do not feel anything onstage. This greatly resembles the detached acting style associated with Bertolt Brecht, which, in turn, stands in direct opposition to the notion of the empathy-oriented "emotional reality" of the actor which is most famously associated with the American actingstyle known as method acting. The book's survey of the various dominant acting styles is followed by an analysis of the current state of affairs regarding the psychology of emotions. By uniting the psychology of emotions with contemporary acting theories, the author is able to come to the conclusion that traditional acting theories are no longer valid for today's actor. Acting Emotions throws new light on the age-old issue of double consciousness, the paradox of the actor who must nightly express emotions while creating the illusion of spontaneity. In addition, the book bridges the gap between theory and practice by virtue of the author's large-scale field study of the emotions of professional actors. In Acting Emotions, the responses of Dutch and Flemish actors is further supplemented by the responses of a good number of American actors. The book offers a unique view of how actors act out emotions and how this acting out is intimately linked to the development of contemporary theatre.

    Feminist Approaches to Early Medieval English Studies (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Scholarship on early medieval England has seen an exponential increase in scholarly work by and about women over the past twenty years, but the field has remained peculiarly resistant to the transformative potential of feminist critique. Since 2016, Medieval Studies has been rocked by conversations about the state of the field, shifting from #MeToo to #WhiteFeminism to the purposeful rethinking of the label “Anglo-Saxonist.” This volume takes a step toward decentering the traditional scholarly conversation with thirteen new essays by American, Canadian, European, and UK professors, along with independent scholars and early career researchers from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Topics range from virginity, women’s literacy, and medical discourse to affect, medievalism, and masculinity. The theoretical and political commitments of this volume comprise one strand of a multivalent effort to rethink the parameters of the discipline and to create a scholarly community that is innovative, inclusive, and diverse.

    Chapter Transitions in Art, Culture, and Politics: An Introduction (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This volume focusses on the role of art, culture and politics in transitions and the struggle for social justice. Sometimes these transitions are traumatic and violent processes as in the case of post-apartheid South Africa. In other cases, as in Europe, they involve long-standing histories that are multi-directionally linked to colonialism, holocaust and totalitarianism. The authors explore intersectional issues of transition and social change in conjunction with broader debates on the role of democracy, citizenship and human rights. In doing so, they engage with the work of feminist scholar Rosemarie Buikema.

    The Rhythm of Strategy (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: This book provides a well-documented analysis of the strategy of the Salim Group, one of the largest family conglomerates in Southeast Asia. Using a multitude of sources, including interviews with the Salim family and Salim Group managers, the author provides a comprehensive corporate biography of this fascinating family firm. The Rhythm of Strategy: A Corporate Biography of the Salim Group of Indonesia criticises existing theories on ethnic Chinese firms and instead provides a more nuanced view of the evolution of a small migrant trading business into the largest family business group in Southeast Asia. It argues that the strategy of this group oscillated irregularly between a business model built on connections and a professional business model adapted to markets. Due to its size and closeness to the Suharto regime, the Salim Group has played an important role in shaping Indonesia's economy. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    The European Union, Turkey and Islam (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Does the fact that the majority of Turkey's population is Muslim form a hindrance to its EU membership? According to a recent policy advice by the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR), the answer is an adamant 'no'. Why is this issue of Turkish Islam relevant? After all, Turkey should not be judged by standards other than the Copenhagen criteria. The answer is that the public debate outside 'Brussels' will not be limited to these official criteria. Many people in Europe are worried about Turkey's 'Islam factor'. They believe that Muslims are (potentially violent) fundamentalists who want to establish a theocracy. By explicitly examining the role of Turkish Islam and Muslims in Turkey, the WRR wants to contribute to a well-informed European public debate on Turkey's accession.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Cet ouvrage aborde la question complexe des motivations de la prénomination à l’époque de la Renaissance. De nombreuses études ont été publiées depuis une quarantaine d’années sur l’anthroponymie française. Les chercheurs se sont appliqués à collecter des données et à établir des statistiques. Mais il ne s’agit plus ici de comptabiliser mais d’expliquer. Pour ce faire, ce livre multiplie les comparaisons. Il étudie les évolutions sur une période longue et compare les choix de prénomination dans différentes régions pour établir une synthèse générale. Il remet en cause les conceptions courantes sur la prénomination et offrent de nouvelles hypothèses explicatives. Il réfute l’idée selon laquelle le nom de baptême était principalement la marque d’une dévotion religieuse et met en avant les ressorts fondamentaux de la prénomination : assurer à l’enfant les meilleures chances de survie, de bonheur et de prospérité et l’intégrer dans un réseau de relations sociales.

    Cinéma/Littérature : projections (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Il ne s’agit pas ici de ce que le cinéma fait à la littérature mais de ce que l’imaginaire polysémique de la projection suscite d’allers, de retours et de réécritures croisées entre les deux disciplines, y compris dans les possibles dérives « projectives » du geste interprétatif, du moment qu’il entraîne un gain heuristique et travaille au croisement de l’optique et du psychique. La projection cinématographique est en effet, d’abord, un dispositif optique. Un faisceau lumineux transporte en l’agrandissant, parfois en l’anamorphosant, une image sur un écran : image passée, qu’il actualise ; image fugace, dont il déploie l’évanescence ; image photogramme, qu’il met en mouvement et expose à la dissemblance. Or la participation émotionnelle que suscite l’optique n’est pas sans rapport avec le dispositif psychique du même nom, qui consiste à extérioriser un contenu inconscient pour le voir en le déniant comme sien. Les deux versants de la projection ont en commun d’être des mécanismes qui mettent en jeu un travail de déformation autant destiné à faire voir qu’à opacifier et faire écran. Le cinéma s’avère alors surface où s’inscrivent les traumas inassimilables auxquels la projection donne forme visible selon le modèle de la figurabilité inconsciente. Ces prémisses esquissent les contours d’un nouveau chantier interdisciplinaire dont cette publication collective entend déployer l’extension maximale et donner les premières clés de compréhension.

    L’Apocalypse : une imagination politique (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Depuis deux cents ans, la littérature, la philosophie et le cinéma s’intéressent toujours davantage à l’apocalypse et aux catastrophes. Est-ce céder à un certain nihilisme ou au contraire chercher une ouverture politique quand l’horizon semble fermé ? Explorant la force et les limites de cet imaginaire politique ambivalent, les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume tentent d’expliquer pourquoi le scénario apocalyptique fait retour dans une civilisation qui n’est plus soudée ni par la croyance religieuse ni par l’espoir révolutionnaire. Qu’est-ce qui distingue l’apocalyptisme contemporain de l’apocalyptisme biblique et de ses avatars ? Comment distinguer un apocalyptisme laïc, qui affronte avec lucidité la perspective d’une destruction par l’homme des conditions nécessaires à la poursuite de son existence et les lubies des marchands d’apocalypse, qui mobilisent et galvaudent à leur profit le scénario religieux ? Enfin, comment restaurer une perspective politique dans ce climat de destruction générale ? En réunissant des contributions d’historiens, de philosophes, de spécialistes de littérature, d’études théâtrales et de cinéma, ce volume de La Licorne entreprend d’approcher de façon critique un art de désespérer avec espoir caractéristique de l’époque contemporaine.

    Climate Change, Radical Uncertainty and Hope (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-03-02
    Description: Views on climate change are often either pessimistic or optimistic. In this book Jan Jorrit Hasselaar discovers and explores a third way, one of hope. A debate within economics on risk and uncertainty brings him to theological questions and the concept of hope in the work of the late Jonathan Sacks—and to a renewed way of doing theology as an account of the good life. What follows is an equal conversation between theology and economics as has hardly been undertaken in recent times. It emerges that hope is not contrary to economic insights, but remarkably compatible with them. Communication between these fields of expertise can open the way for a courageous and creative embrace of radical uncertainty in climate change. A key notion here is that of a public Sabbath, or a ‘workplace of hope’—times and places set aside to cultivate inspiration and mutual trust among all parties involved, enabling them to take concrete steps forward.

    The Big Reset (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Amid the turmoil in the Eurozone, economic problems in Russia, stagnation in Japan, and rumblings that China may slip into recession, the one reliable asset is the American dollar. While it may encounter ups and downs, investors for decades have been confident that it will never lose a substantial part of its value. That may be about to change. In The Big Reset, Willem Middelkoop lays out the case for an inevitable monetary reset, one that will be designed to keep the United States in the driver's seat, but will include strong roles for the Euro and China's Renminbi-and, crucially, gold. This fully revised edition of Middelkoop's book takes into account developments since its original publication, which have only strengthened the case for the coming return of gold.

    Transnational Flows and Permissive Polities (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book is a collection of ethnographies of transnational migration and border crossings in Asia. Interdisciplinary in scope, it addresses issues of mobility and Diaspora from various vantage points. Unique to this volume is an emphasis of studying globalisation from below, privileging the narratives and views of "people on the move" - or the transnational underclass - and their sense of belonging to places and communities. The collection is further distinguished by its focus on the sources of authority and the social configurations that are created in the intersections between legality and illegality across Asia. Though previous studies on transnational flows have deconstructed the notion of nation-states as having fixed political boundaries, and have engaged in spaces beyond the nation-states, seldom has an entire region, Asia, been privileged in one integrated volume. We emphasize hitherto marginalized debates that have significant policy relevance. Other than a serious academic interest from lecturers and students, we are confident that book will be of significant interest for development practitioners and NGOs.

    Beyond Dutch Borders (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Migrants often remain loyal to their former homelands and stay active in the politics there- despite widespread criticism of these ties in their host countries. Combining extensive fieldwork with quantitative data, Beyond Dutch Borders compares how transnational political involvement among guest workers from Turkey and postcolonial migrants from Surinam living in the Netherlands has evolved during the past fifty years. The author explores the dynamics and influence of such dual affiliations and finds that migrants' border-crossing loyalties and engagement actually heighten their political integration into their host countries.

    Prometheus and the Liver through Art and Medicine (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Prometheus was punished by the supreme god Zeus for giving to mankind the Olympic fire with which they learned to think and feel. He was chained to a cliff in the Caucasus, where, to make matters worse, he was visited daily by an eagle who ate part of his liver. At night, however, his liver grew back. We now know that the liver can regenerate, but were the ancient Greeks aware of this quality? The myth of Prometheus has been a source of inspiration for many visual artists over the centuries. In this book, the medical history of the liver is traced through the ages through an examination of historical texts on the organ’s functions and properties, parallel to the art movements in which the fascinating iconography of Prometheus is reviewed. The book offers a surprising interplay of art and medicine, placing emphasis on the unique morphology of the liver.

    Description: À l’époque où elle gagne la France, la Renaissance européenne est encore un espoir, et déjà une crise. Ses virtualités contrastées éclatent dans la littérature en enthousiasmes, dérisions, liturgies du plaisir, du désir et du deuil, en méditations ironiques ou graves, en visions, parfois en vertiges. Le présent ouvrage souligne ces traits divergents, et privilégiant les œuvres qui marquent les mutations et les ruptures, et qui, de nos jours encore, posent les questions fondamentales de la culture moderne. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte de certaines avancées récentes de la recherche.

    Chapter ‘Is it possible to represent her freshly without reproducing sexist and racist appropriation?’ (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: When black South African artist Willie Bester, whose art persistently criticizes the colonial and totalitarian history of his country, created a sculpture of Sarah Bartmann (or Saartjie Bartmann) out of recycled material, one wouldn’t have imagined so many ruptures from this work. Buikema (2007) clinically unpacks the first rupture at the University of Cape Town by deploying politics of representation as presence and symbolic. And she questions: Is it possible to represent Sarah Bartmann freshly without reproducing sexist and racist appropriations? In this article, I unpick Buikema’s article while putting it into conversation with further ruptures that took place at UCT between 2015-2018 after the student protests calling for decolonisation of the university. I argue that it is through such critical engagements and discomforts that transformation towards dignifying and humanizing of Sarah Bartmann occurs; and by extension, epistemic justice.

    Equal Opportunities and Ethnic Inequality in European Labour Markets (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: The need to analyse labour market mechanisms in post-industrial Western societies is urgent. Despite laws and policy measures being developed at the European, national and local levels, job-seeking immigrants and ethnic minorities still suffer unequal access and ethnic discrimination. This volume endeavours to understand why. Four chapters dealing with discrimination, gender, equity policies and diversity management present a lively discussion of the current scientific debate. Besides providing empirical evidence, the authors recommend methods for conducting further research in the field and evaluate the actual effects of discrimination-combating policies. One conclusion is that systematic analysis of the labour market and its subsequent equity policies must be supported by hard data, such as statistics. With its state-of-the-art scope and unique thematic exploration, this volume transfers knowledge from social science studies to a more operational realm. From here, both scholars and practitioners can help make equal opportunities more accessible than ever. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    A Family Occupation (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Many of today's Dutch writers were children during World War II. Even today, the traumatic childhood experience of enemy occupation is still central to the work of many of them. This interest cuts across the traditional boundaries between fiction, autobiography and the literature of trauma and recovery. A Family Occupation is the first English-language introduction to Dutch-language texts written by and about the 'Children of the War' and their cultural context. Their themes and literary conventions throw an interesting light on the Dutch approach to issues such as guilt and innocence, memory and narrative, national identity, child abuse and victimhood.

    Description: This article presents a close reading of gothic features in Simone Atangana Bekono’s novella Zo hoog de zon stond (‘As high as the sun stood’, 2022). This analysis serves as a way to comment on recent academic debates about the end, or ends, of critical theory, more specifically about ways of reading: surface reading or symptomatic reading. Supporting Esther Peeren’s recent plea for a return to symptomatic reading, I argue that a clearcut opposition between surface and depth is untenable.

    Relire Perec (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: L’œuvre de Georges Perec (1936-1982) apparaît aujourd’hui sans conteste comme celle d’un classique de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Prenant acte de ce statut patrimonial, ce volume se donne un objectif moins rétrospectif – faire le bilan de trois riches décennies de recherche – que prospectif, en s’efforçant de contribuer à la relance d’une activité critique dont le dynamisme semble évidemment lié à l’accession à ce statut de classique. Dans un article devenu célèbre, « Pourquoi lire les classiques ? » (1981), un autre écrivain de l’Oulipo, l’Italien Italo Calvino, avait défi l’œuvre classique par sa lecture, énonçant la proposition suivante : « Toute relecture d’un classique est une découverte, comme la première lecture. » S’agissant de Perec, tout se passe en effet comme si cette canonisation avait bel et bien ouvert le champ des lectures possibles, permettant en particulier le dépassement de la perspective biographique pour l’intégrer à des approches diverses, qu’elles soient théoriques, génétiques, historiques, stylistiques ou plus largement poétiques. C’est de cette diversité, et de cette ouverture, critiques que ce volume rend compte, proposant ainsi une série de « découvertes » (comme le disait Calvino) pour inviter à la relecture d’une œuvre décidément inépuisable.

    Reformation of Islamic Thought (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Ever since the dramatic events of September 11, 2001 the fundamentalist and exclusivist trend prevails in most presentations of Islamic thinking. Indeed, these events have given extremists and fundamentalists a much more prominent position than they might ever have dreamt of. In Reformation of Islamic Thought, the prominent Egyptian scholar Nasr Abû Zayd examines the positive, liberal, and inclusive reaction embedded in the writings of Muslim thinkers. He takes the reader on a critical journey across the Muslim World, where Muslim thinkers from Egypt and Iran to Indonesia seek to divest Islam of traditionalistic and legalistic interpretation. Instead, these thinkers stress the value of a cultural, enlightened Islam, and an individualistic faith. For many, the dogmatic Islam established by the conservatives and supported by totalitarian political regimes is outdated; they want it replaced by a spiritual and ethical Islam. To what extent are these reformist thinkers engaged in a genuine renewal of Islamic thought? Do they succeed in escaping the traditionalist trap of presenting a purely negative image of the West?

    Pathways in Decentralised Collective Bargaining in Europe (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: One of the main challenges in labour relations in Europe is the ongoing decentralisation of collective bargaining from national and sectoral levels to company levels. Decentralisation might be an answer to business needs in competitiveness and organisational flexibility. However, it risks erosion of collective bargaining structures, more inequality in employment conditions and fragmentation in trade unions’ powers. Based on recent qualitative research, this book shows high varieties across European countries and economic sectors in degrees, forms and impacts of decentralisation. The authors explore, in interdisciplinary and multi-level perspectives, continuity and change in regulating and practicing collective bargaining in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden. In cross-country comparisons, company case studies in manufacturing and retail show the divergent effects of national regimes and social partners’ power resources on trade unions’ strategies and influence in company bargaining.

    Le sixième commandement (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Dresser pour le xxe siècle un bilan de l’Église catholique en France sur le plan de la morale sexuelle, tel est le projet de cet ouvrage. Le xxe siècle se décompose en trois moments évidents : le triomphe de la morale sexuelle traditionnelle dans la première moitié du siècle, avec une valorisation démesurée de la chasteté et de la fécondité du mariage. Le deuxième moment entre 1950 et 1978 est une longue période de crise de la doctrine traditionnelle que Paul VI tenta en vain d’étouffer. Mais le célibat sacerdotal et la condamnation de l’avortement et de l’homosexualité sont remis en cause. Cette dernière question qui n’émerge que tardivement sera abordée grâce au témoignage exceptionnel d’un prêtre homosexuel et pédophile. La tentative de Jean-Paul II de restaurer la morale sexuelle traditionnelle constitue une troisième phase. Comme chacun le sait, le pape n’a pas ramené les fidèles catholiques au respect des enseignements d’une éthique considérée par eux comme archaïque. Entre la doctrine intransigeante du magistère et des laïcs de plus en plus insoumis, les théologiens ont tenu une position stratégique : ont-ils contribué à renforcer et légitimer l’autorité du pape polonais ou préparé des accommodements tels que le pape François les propose aujourd’hui, voire des changements plus radicaux de la doctrine morale catholique ? Pour l’avenir du catholicisme, dans le monde développé du moins, la question sexuelle tient une place critique. L’Église est-elle capable d’abandonner ses « lois » de morale sexuelle ?

    Description: Rainer Werner Fassbinder is one of the most prominent and important authors of post-war European cinema. Thomas Elsaesser is the first to write a thoroughly analytical study of his work. He stresses the importance of a closer understanding of Fassbinder's career through a re-reading of his films as textual entities. Approaching the work from different thematic and analytical perspectives, Elsaesser offers both an overview and a number of detailed readings of crucial films, while also providing a European context for Fassbinder's own coming to terms with fascism.

    Description: While studies of mobile wireless communication devices usually focus on their social implications, De Vries proposes to venture into a more historical and comparative direction to shed light on our preoccupation with them in the first place. He constructs an archaeological view of the development of communication technologies over the past 200 years, providing a comprehensive account of how persistent hopes and beliefs have come to give mobile wireless media such a prominent position today. Our expectations and uses of them are surprisingly similar to those of older media; consequently, they reconfirm the idea that living in an ‘anyone, anything, anytime, anywhere’ world is both a blessing and a curse, and that the desire for sublime communication is a tragic yet highly powerful regulative principle in our media evolution.

    Les disputes et la conversion religieuse de l’Antiquité au xviie siècle (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Au début du xviie siècle, un polémiste averti lançait à son auditoire, mi-protestant mi-catholique, cette sentence lapidaire : « Aujourd’huy, les disputes se réduisent à disputer comment il faut disputer. » Pour notre controversiste désabusé, dans ces rencontres entre théologiens, les moyens mangeaient la fin, les débats s’éternisant dans d’interminables disputes sur les conditions de la dispute. C’est de cette remarque – récurrente – qu’ont germé l’idée de ce livre et la volonté d’élargir le questionnement à des époques plus anciennes : à quoi bon ces rencontres répétées entre théologiens quand la conversion de l’adversaire semble si rarement le fruit des débats ? À nos yeux, l’amer constat que dresse ce théologien – des rencontres interreligieuses infécondes – n’est pas à attribuer à une quelconque myopie. Ce qu’il pointe est plus profond, plus essentiel. Il signale des enjeux alternatifs, il met sur la piste d’autres fonctions, moins évidentes ou moins assumées, des disputes interreligieuses. De ces grands débats, qui pensait vraiment sortir gagnant ? qui pouvait sérieusement se dire convaincu ? À partir de là, que recherchaient les acteurs de ces multiples scènes sans issue ?

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Il existe au moins trois bonnes raisons d’étudier la sociabilité associative rurale en Mayenne entre les années 1830 et les années 1930. Premièrement, la sociabilité est un concept qui, après avoir connu un grand succès en sciences sociales il y a une quarantaine d’années puis avoir été considéré comme passé de mode, mérite qu’on y revienne dans une approche culturelle et sociale. Deuxièmement, le monde associatif dans les campagnes françaises au xixe siècle et au début du xxe siècle est un sujet encore trop peu étudié et auquel il reste à accorder toute la place qui lui revient dans les mutations de l’époque contemporaine, au même titre que l’école. Troisièmement, la France de l’Ouest est un espace injustement disqualifié par l’historiographie pour ce qui relève de la vie sociale. Des sociétés littéraires aux clubs sportifs, en passant par les cercles, les sociétés de cure, les corps de sapeurs-pompiers, les sociétés musicales, les patronages catholiques, les associations conscriptives, les amicales d’anciennes et d’anciens élèves et celles d’anciens combattants, il est alors possible de saisir comment, à l’époque contemporaine, une culture formalisée, incarnée par la sociabilité associative, émerge face à une culture coutumière, moins « civilisée », celle des veillées et des assemblées villageoises. Ce qui se joue là n’est pas tant affaire de remplacement que d’acculturation.

    Description: During Antwerp's Golden Age, the city replaced Bruges as the primary trading hub of Western Europe. Antwerp transformed from a medium-sized Brabantine town to an unparalleled metropolis in the Low Countries with over 100.000 inhabitants. Although little is known regarding the impact of this transformation on the city's governance, Antwerp serves as an intriguing and exceptional case study. Unlike other trading metropolises such as sixteenth-century Lyon or seventeenth-century Amsterdam, where merchants increasingly occupied positions in the city council, this was not the case in Antwerp. This book ‘Macht in de Metropool’ reconstructs the compositions of Antwerp’s city council between 1400 and 1550. It examines the profile of the different aldermen and mayors and how they evolved over time. Furthermore, the research analyses the real estate investments of this group and their relationship with key groups in society such as the merchants, the nobility, and the central administration.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This volume focusses on the role of art, culture and politics in transitions and the struggle for social justice. Sometimes these transitions are traumatic and violent processes as in the case of post-apartheid South Africa. In other cases, as in Europe, they involve long-standing histories that are multi-directionally linked to colonialism, holocaust and totalitarianism. The authors explore intersectional issues of transition and social change in conjunction with broader debates on the role of democracy, citizenship and human rights. In doing so, they engage with the work of feminist scholar Rosemarie Buikema.

    Description: Our Revolution contains a selection of translated Indonesian articles about the Indonesian Revolution (1945-1949) and the significance of that revolution for the development of the nation. The articles - written by contemporaries and academics of several generations - show the complexity of the Indonesian Revolution and see the struggle for independence, as well as developments in Indonesian thinking about it. National and local developments interacted. The struggle of the Indonesian population and armed groups against the British and the Dutch, the flaming enthusiasm of the Indonesian youth, the great social unrest and also a very diverse local and regional dynamic are discussed. This anthology offers a fascinating insight into the Indonesian historiography of the revolution.
    Description: Onze Revolutie bevat een selectie vertaalde Indonesische artikelen over de Indonesische revolutie (1945-1949) en de betekenis van die revolutie voor de ontwikkeling van de natie. De artikelen – geschreven door tijdgenoten en academici van verschillende generaties – laten de complexiteit van de Indonesische revolutie en de strijd voor de onafhankelijkheid zien, en ook de ontwikkelingen in het Indonesische denken daarover.

    Promenade et flânerie : vers une poétique de l’essai entre xviiie et xixe siècle (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Au cours du xviiie siècle, la promenade devient une pratique habituelle, d’abord comme passe-temps social, ensuite comme activité solitaire et rêveuse. Les écrivains s’approprient alors cette pratique, et les pensées ou rêveries qu’elle suscite, pour les raconter ou les décrire. La réflexion collective dont ce volume se fait l’écho est partie de l’intuition que cette nouvelle habitude de déplacement dans l’espace – déplacement sans but, gratuit, et à pied – a influencé d’un même mouvement les modes de pensée et les modes d’écriture. On s’intéresse ici à la diffusion concrète du modèle pérégrin proposé par Rousseau dans des textes oubliés par la généalogie de l’essai : si ceux-ci n’ont pas laissé de véritables traces dans l’imaginaire du genre, ils n’en ont pas moins contribué à créer et à répandre des pratiques d’écriture et des postures d’écrivain, qui ont sans aucun doute joué un rôle fondamental dans la constitution progressive d’une écriture essayiste, avant l’institution du genre.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Installation art has become mainstream in artistic practices. However, acquiring and displaying such artworks means that curators and conservators are challenged to deal with obsolete technologies, ephemeral materials, and other issues concerning care and management of these artworks. By analyzing three in-depth case studies, the author sheds new light on the key concepts of traditional conservation-authenticity, artist's intention, and the notion of ownership-while exploring how these concepts apply in contemporary art conservation.

    Higher Education in 2040 (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Since the Middle Ages, universities have displayed impressive resourcefulness in their ability to adapt to the changing dynamics and demands of their times. But in the last fifty years, the landscape of higher education - with the emergence of online and mass education, skyrocketing tuition, and a controversial system for ranking institutions - has begun evolving so rapidly and profoundly that the concept of the university now needs to be rethought. This book explores the future of modern higher education by looking at it on a global scale. Bert van der Zwaan compares European developments with those taking place in North America and Asia to argue that the phoenix of an entirely new type of university will rise from the ashes of the classical system: less tied to buildings and set locations, the new university will embed itself more deeply in society by offering innovative forms of digital knowledge and making customized teaching available on demand. A timely discussion of a topic whose worldwide impact continues to grow, this is essential reading for anyone concerned about the state of higher education - both for today's students and in the decades to come.

    Description: As machine-readable data comes to play an increasingly important role in everyday life, researchers find themselves with rich resources for studying society. The novel methods and tools needed to work with such data require not only new knowledge and skills, but also a new way of thinking about best research practices. This book critically reflects on the role and usefulness of big data, challenging overly optimistic expectations about what such information can reveal, introducing practices and methods for its analysis and visualisation, and raising important political and ethical questions regarding its collection, handling, and presentation.

    Media Policy for the Digital Age (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Traditionally, the Netherlands has enjoyed being a test market for many ideas in the media. But over the last decade, progress has been severely hampered by lengthy discussions on the future structure of just one sector of media, namely public broadcasting via radio and television. The narrow approach results in a lot of paper, speeches and theories, but little in the way of definitive policy making. In a report to the government, published in February 2005, the Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) argued for very different approaches to policy making. The recommendations are not only much broader than "broadcasting"; they tackle the challenges of making robust policy from new angles. Instead of trying to repair the old compass, the approach has been to find new instruments to help policymakers navigate the stormy and often confusing waters ahead. Perhaps the problem in the Netherlands is not accepting the new media, but rather accepting that the role "old" media has undergone a paradigm shift. Since the bulk of the WRR findings were published in the Dutch language, this summary is intended to provide readers outside the Netherlands with an insight into the issues at stake - and the solutions suggested by the WRR.

    Le théâtre de la boxe (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Comment inventer et fabriquer un spectacle sportif ? Pratique confidentielle en 1903, la boxe, dix ans plus tard, attire des milliers de spectateurs, met en jeu des sommes d’argent colossales et présente de véritables vedettes. Comment une pratique si réprouvée en raison de sa violence devient-elle un des loisirs les plus prisés de Paris ? Le présent ouvrage entend analyser les mécanismes présidant à ce succès. Loin d’être un spectacle devenu un sport ou un sport devenu spectacle, la boxe est dès ses débuts doublement codifiée : pensée et structurée comme un sport, elle est aussi portée et mise en scène comme un spectacle, ces deux dynamiques étant indissociables. Ensemble, promoteurs de spectacles, dirigeants de fédérations, journalistes, managers et boxeurs participent à la structuration d’un marché des spectacles pugilistiques inséré dans un tissu de relations avec d’autres grandes villes européennes. À l’aube de la Première Guerre mondiale, bénéficiant de conditions économiques et sociales spécifiques, la scène parisienne s’impose progressivement comme un des foyers les plus actifs de la boxe, lui donnant la forme d’un spectacle à la fois mondain et populaire, avant de se transformer après-guerre. Comprendre l’historicité des spectacles pugilistiques revient alors à prendre au sérieux l’expression même de « spectacle sportif ».

    Politique des lieux communs (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: À voir le nombre actuel de travaux qui lui sont consacrés, le lieu commun, qui fut pourtant longtemps un paria et un proscrit, semble aujourd’hui populaire. Mais sa récente réhabilitation dans le paysage de la critique contemporaine aurait de quoi faire réfléchir la critique elle-même. Qu’avait-elle perdu en le vouant aux gémonies, si ce n’est peut-être ce « commun », ce lieu pour la communauté ? Et nous, qu’espérons-nous faire avec le lieu commun, si ce n’est réconcilier l’activité lettrée avec sa dimension politique, et par là défendre la place des humanités dans l’espace public ? Telle est donc notre hypothèse : le lieu commun, banal et abandonné, laissé au public et aux discussions de café, aurait à voir avec la chose publique et notre propre désir de communauté. En remontant aux sources de la pratique « humaniste » des lieux communs à la Renaissance, jusqu’à leur traitement dans l’enseignement et dans la transmission de la culture, les différents articles réunis ici entendent réinterroger la dimension proprement politique de l’usage des lieux communs par les lettrés de jadis et les critiques de naguère, mettant à l’épreuve le pont que cette culture entend jeter entre les générations via l’institution des « humanités » comme ciment d’une communauté à travers les âges, dans une prétention pacifique et universelle mais au risque de l’exclusion des individus.

    Le soin des pauvres (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Soigner les pauvres, telle est la vocation de milliers de jeunes femmes qui, tout au long du xixe siècle, prennent le voile en France et concrétisent ainsi un désir de vie religieuse et de service. Cet engagement ouvre aux femmes des voies pour s’affirmer hors de la famille, dans l’espace public et le monde du travail. Infirmières ou pharmaciennes, responsables de services d’hôpitaux et d’hospices, ou gardes-malades à domicile, ce sont les « bonnes » sœurs du xixe siècle. Figures de la charité, elles sont aussi les chevilles ouvrières du système public de santé dont elles accompagnent la médicalisation. Dans une société confrontée à une nouvelle pauvreté massive et alors que l’Église catholique s’inquiète de la déchristianisation populaire, les sœurs soignantes répondent aux attentes sociales et sanitaires, religieuses et morales de leur temps. La laïcisation républicaine signe-t-elle leur disparition ? Rien n’est moins sûr à en regarder leur présence dans Paris au début du xxe siècle. S’appuyant sur de nombreuses archives des couvents et des institutions hospitalières, cette enquête questionne la vocation des sœurs soignantes dans leur quotidien auprès des pauvres de la capitale. Elle propose une histoire du care qui éclaire les enjeux profanes et spirituels de la relation de soin.

    The Crisis Imperative (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: The Netherlands and Belgium exemplified the pathology of 'welfare without work' that characterized continental welfare states - until a political crisis in both countries produced a surprising divergence in scope and extent of policy change in the early 1990s. In Belgium, government announced major reforms but its social security arrangements proved remarkably resilient. In the Netherlands, policy makers announced and implemented unprecedented cutbacks and a major overhaul of the disability benefit administration and supervision. This book argues that reform is the product of the deliberate construction of a crisis as an imperative for change. It explains how crisis rhetoric resulted in drastic policy change in the Netherlands and in incremental change in Belgium. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Dogma95 has been heralded as the European alternative to the Hollywood Blockbuster. For many critics and film lovers, Dogma95 and Von Trier's films have become synonymous with the notions usually associated with independent film making: low budgets and realism. Von Trier's approach to film making, however, takes cinema beyond the traditional confines of film aesthetics and radically transposes the practice of film making and film itself right into what has become the paramount genre of new media: games and gaming. Dogma 95, this book argues, is not an exceptional phase in Von Trier's carreer - as it was for his cofounders - but the most explicit formulation of Von Trier's cinematic games aesthetics, that has guided the conception and production of all of his films. The launching of Dogma95 and the infamous Dogma Manifesto was a game; Von Trier redefines the practice of film making as a rule bound activity, he brings forms and structures of games to bear on his films, and he draws some sobering lessons from economic and evolutionary game theory. Von Trier's films can be better understood from the perspective of games studies and game theory than from the point of view of traditional film theory and film aesthetics.

    Description: Des fêtes estivales aux dessins animés japonais, des séries de fantasy aux manifestations de l’extrême-droite étatsunienne, le Moyen Âge est partout, sans cesse réinventé, transformé, mobilisé pour des usages variés. Il s’agit ici d’étudier cette présence du Moyen Âge dans notre imaginaire que l’on nomme le médiévalisme, en mobilisant de nouvelles méthodes d’analyse et en explorant de nouveaux terrains. Quels sont les rapports entre ces Moyen Âge fantasmés et le Moyen Âge historique étudié par les médiévistes ? Comment les spécialistes de la période médiévale doivent-ils se positionner face à des réinventions contemporaines ? Telles sont les deux principales questions de cet ouvrage tentant un état des lieux de la recherche médiévaliste ainsi qu’une réflexion globale, à la fois méthodologique et heuristique, sur ses défis, ses limites et ses enjeux.

    Dynasties and State Formation in Early Modern Europe (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In state formation research, princely houses have been a blind spot. The development of states has been discussed from many perspectives, like interstate competition, internal social conflicts, fiscal-military developments, etc., but at the centre of most European states, there was a princely house. These ruling houses have been overlooked in studies about state formation. What’s more, when discussing such dynasties, the vertical chronological perspective (grandfather-father-son) is all dominating, for instance in the focus on dynastic continuity, dynastic culture and representation, and the like. This collection of essays highlights the horizontal perspective (ruler, all children, siblings, cousins), in asking how the members of a princely family acted as a power network. The quest is to develop an understanding how this family network interplayed with other factors in the state formation process. This volume brings together existing knowledge of the topic with the aim of exchanging insights and furthering knowledge.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: In this timely study, Yolande Jansen critiques efforts to assimilate religious minorities into a secular and supposedly neutral public sphere. Such efforts, she ably demonstrates, can create and perpetuate the very distinctions they aim to overcome. Her sophisticated analyses draw on literature that depicts the paradoxes of assimilation as experienced by French Jews in the late nineteenth century. Paying particular attention to Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, she ultimately argues for dynamic, critical multiculturalism as an alternative to secularism, assimilation, and integration.

    Description: After General Francisco Franco died in 1975, Spanish cinema was bursting at the seams. Many film directors broke free from the ancient taboos which had reigned under Franco's dictatorship, introducing characters who transgressed the traditional borders of social, cultural, and sexual identities. The women, homosexuals, transsexuals, and delinquents who were considered lost, dissonant bodies under Franco's rule became the new protagonists of Spanish cinema. "Here is a 'book of passion' on the metamorphoses of post-Francoist Spain as it catapulted into the contemporary world (1975-95). It is a book that questions the power of myths expressed through passionate bodies, in particular bodies who for too long were marginalized in traditional societies." -Michèle Lagny, Université de Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris III

    Le paysage de l'historien (2023)

    Description: Les paysages de l'Ouest de la France connaissent aujourd'hui une évolution rapide. Du Maine à l'Anjou et à la Bretagne, si l'on peut voir beaucoup d'arbres, il n'est pas sûr que l'on puisse encore observer un vrai bocage ! Le bocage a perdu le lien qu'il avait depuis son origine avec l'activité agricole : il reste une composante du paysage rural mais il n'est plus le cadre nécessaire du travail des agriculteurs. C'est la modification la plus importante qu'il ait connu depuis sa création. Le bocage n'est pas un milieu naturel : c'est un paysage construit ; il n'est pas là de toute éternité, mais il a été fabriqué et entretenu par des générations d'agriculteurs qui avaient besoin de haies pour pratiquer à la fois la culture et le pâturage. L'objet de l'ouvrage d'Annie Antoine est de porter un regard d'historien sur le paysage bocager de l'Ouest de la France : explorer les liens forts et durables tissés entre un paysage et ses habitants, lier la construction du bocage et ses transformations à l'évolution des sociétés rurales qui, de la fin du Moyen Âge aux mutations agricoles contemporaines, l'ont utilisé et transformé.

    Utopie et catastrophe (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Le sentiment domine aujourd’hui que l’utopie serait derrière nous : les contre-utopies occupent notre imagination, comme pour refléter la fin des espérances politiques et l’absence d’horizon de notre siècle désenchanté. Après la chaîne de catastrophes du xxe siècle, qui aurait démontré que l’utopie n’a rien à faire avec la réalité historique, l’utopie n’aurait plus d’intérêt, désormais, que pour l’histoire littéraire : on pourrait en dresser le bilan comme d’une forme du passé sans songer à en poursuivre la tradition, de toute façon épuisée, ni la renouveler. Mais la vogue actuelle de la contre-utopie est-elle vraiment le symptôme d’une société malade qui ne saurait plus éprouver d’enthousiasme ? Les contre-utopies n’ont-elles pas quelque chose à nous apprendre sur l’utopie elle-même, et sur l’ambiguïté fondamentale du genre depuis ses origines ? Enfin n’observe-t-on pas aujourd’hui, en réplique au catastrophisme présent, un renouveau de l’imaginaire utopique dans la littérature et les arts, dont les formes et les enjeux restent à comprendre ? À rebours des discours critiques ou mélancoliques, ce numéro de La Licorne examine cinq siècles d’histoire d’un genre bien plus divers et ambigu qu’on ne le croit souvent. Montrant les zones d’ombre des utopies classiques et la résistance de l’élan utopique au cœur des textes contemporains les plus sombres, les articles rassemblés ici invitent à redécouvrir un imaginaire critique dont on ne saurait concevoir, même et surtout en ces temps de catastrophe, l’épuisement.

    Accompagner (2023)

    Publication Date: 2023-12-06
    Description: L'accompagnement est le moyen privilégié aujourd'hui dans le champ de l'intervention sociale pour appréhender des catégories de populations diverses. Qu'est-ce qu'accompagner ? À l'aide des outils méthodologiques et paradigmatiques inspirés par l'interactionnisme symbolique et par la sociologie pragmatique, le pari de cet ouvrage est d'expliciter les nouveaux enjeux de la relation institutionnelle – son mandat, ses finalités renouvelées et ses logiques de mise en œuvre –, dans un contexte sociétal marqué par la précarisation durable et la vulnérabilité des parcours sociaux. L'auteure s'appuie sur une enquête de terrain de type ethnographique, conduite au cœur de deux dispositifs d'accompagnement : l'un dédié aux jeunes repérés comme en difficultés d'insertion, l'autre au soutien à la parentalité. Face à des situations durablement problématiques, l'idéal éducatif et la visée d'insertion ne constituent plus des supports opératoires à la relation institutionnelle. Désormais, celle-ci consiste à équiper au jour le jour les individus afin qu'ils prennent socialement place dans des univers précarisés et ségrégés. Dans ce contexte, les relations entre professionnels et usagers s'établissent autour de pactes définissant une manière de faire face aux situations chaotiques et au cortège d'épreuves (morales, pratiques, identitaires) qui en découlent. Les pactes relèvent d'une organisation discrète qui se construit dans les failles des institutions : autour des problèmes qu'elles s'avèrent incapables d'endiguer et dans les contours des normes inaccessibles qu'elles promeuvent. Les pactes constituent ainsi la trame d'une relation institutionnelle autoréférentielle, laquelle, plutôt que de prendre appui sur d'improbables objectifs à visée universelle, se réduit à des finalités élaborées en situation, redéfinies en permanence au gré des contingences et du rythme décousu des aléas.

    The Visual Memory of Protest (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Social movements are not only remembered in personal experience, but also through cultural carriers that shape how later movements see themselves and are seen by others. The present collection zooms in on the role of photography in this memory-activism nexus. How do iconographic conventions shape images of protest? Why do some images keep movements in the public eye, while others are quickly forgotten? What role do images play in linking different protests, movements, and generations of activists? Have the affordances of digital media made it easier for activists to use images in their memory politics, or has the digital production and massive online exchange of images made it harder to identify and remember a movement via a single powerful image? Bringing together experts in visual culture, cultural memory, social movements, and digital humanities, this collection presents new empirical, theoretical, and methodological insights into the visual memory of protest.

    Less Pretension, More Ambition (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Development aid has become the subject of much discussion. Why do we give aid, and does it help? What do we know about the development paths being taken by various countries, or the possibilities of helping them to achieve their goals from outside? How relevant is development aid now that remittances and foreign direct investments have increased as a result of globalization? When does aid have more negative than positive effects? What is the significance of shifting power relations in the world? And do policies focusing on issues like climate, migration, financial stability, knowledge, trade and security not have a greater impact than aid on the development opportunities of poor countries? These questions inspired the Dutch Scientific Council for Government Policy (wrr) to examine what form development aid should take in the era of globalization. At the start of 2010, on the basis of over 500 interviews with experts and an extensive literature survey, the wrr presented its far-reaching recommendations. In October 2010, the new Dutch government decided to use the report as the basis of a thorough modernization of its development policy. This book is based on the wrr report. It builds on the many responses to the report, resulting in more elaboration on specific lines of reasoning, coverage of new themes and more comprehensive analyses, without changing the core of the original report.

    Chapter Spazzacamini en Savoyaards (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This article engages in genealogical inquiry into Zwarte Piet (Black Pete), to gain deeper insight into the multiple semantic layers of this cultural icon. I argue that the ‘roetpiet’ (soot Pete) or chimney sweep is rooted in at least as solid an iconological tradition as that of the Moorish child slave. I infer some suggestions for non-offensive Sinterklaas celebrations from this historical excursion. While Zwarte Piet in his Moorish guise is indeed a flawed and racist trace of colonial slavery, his chimney sweep connotations may actually be of value to the cultural remembrance of the by now largely forgotten history of child labour that was so crucial to the early industrialization in Europe, and often still is to economies in the Global South.

    Écrire l’histoire environnementale au xxie siècle (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Les chantiers de l’histoire environnementale sont aussi nombreux que les enjeux soulevés par la crise écologique contemporaine. Gestion des risques par les sociétés passées, exploitation des ressources naturelles, mutation du regard porté sur l’environnement constituent quelques facettes d’une historiographie désormais mature et foisonnante. Les contributions réunies par le Réseau universitaire de chercheurs en histoire environnementale (RUCHE), à l’occasion de son 10e anniversaire, offrent un panorama international et pluridisciplinaire de cette révolution historiographique, en partant d’un état des lieux inédit dans quelques champs impactés par l’émergence d’une approche environnementale (telles l’histoire des mondes du travail et l’histoire maritime). La réflexion porte ensuite sur l’usage de sources et sur les méthodologies de recherche, en se fondant sur des exemples (comme les cartes) et en retraçant des expériences collectives de travail sur archives. Enfin, quelques études sur les acteurs et objets de l’histoire environnementale illustrent l’apport de l’interdisciplinarité pour interroger nos sociétés contemporaines.

    Description: This important overview explores the connections between Singapore's past with historical developments worldwide until present day. The contributors analyse Singapore as a city-state seeking to provide an interdisciplinary perspective to the study of the global dimensions contributing to Singapore's growth. The book's global perspective demonstrates that many of the discussions of Singapore as a city-state have relevance and implications beyond Singapore to include Southeast Asia and the world. This vital volume should not be missed by economists, as well as those interested in imperial history, business history and networks.

    Le bonheur au xviiie siècle (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Le bonheur a-t-il été une idée neuve du xviiie siècle ? Prolongeant les travaux antérieurs, en particulier de Robert Mauzi dans L’idée du bonheur dans la littérature et la pensée françaises au xviiiesiècle, le présent recueil se propose une exploration de cette « idée-force » qui « éclaire l’unité du siècle » et qui « recouvre toutes les contradictions du temps ». Plusieurs domaines sont minutieusement explorés : littéraire, social, politique, philosophique, esthétique et éthique. Cette notion complexe et polysémique est approchée chez des auteurs tels que Rousseau, Diderot, Casanova ou Rétif de La Bretonne. Les divers axes et perspectives de recherche suggèrent l’expansion de cette idée-slogan : théories de la fiction, histoire des idées, poétique des genres et regards croisés. En soulignant la solidarité entre le mouvement des idées et l’analyse de la société et des arts, les contributions réunies ici font émerger la sensibilité d’une époque, les représentations et les expériences collectives et individuelles.

    Jacques-Pierre Brissot (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Dans les Origines intellectuelles de la Révolution française, publiées en 1933, Daniel Mornet voit en la figure de Brissot « l’image complète de toutes les aspirations d’une génération ». Cet ouvrage vise à relancer son intuition en proposant, grâce à un travail inédit de dépouillement systématique de ses archives privées, une sociologie de l’entrée en révolution (et non de la pré-révolution, car on ne pouvait la prédire alors) d’une jeunesse intellectuelle au crépuscule de la société française d’Ancien Régime. Cet ouvrage permet de comprendre comment un homme du commun éduqué, d’abord désireux d’intégrer les hautes sphères de la société de son temps, devient l’un des principaux agents de son renversement. Habité par une idée de la noblesse fondée sur la vertu plutôt que sur la naissance, il s’en attribue les qualités et tente de les faire reconnaître sur le champ littéraire. Mais il se heurte à l’indifférence de ses pairs illustres et à ce qu’il appelle le « crime de bassesse », soit le destin d’être né dans la « classe des artisans ». Brissot a le sentiment de ne pas occuper sa juste place dans une société d’ordres et d’états. De frustré et méprisé, Brissot renaît à l’identité au sein d’une communauté des opprimés aux côtés du protestant, du juif, du quaker, de l’Américain, du Genevois, de l’Anglais, du Valaque, du Brabançon, du Batave, du paysan, du prisonnier et de l’esclave noir. De victime, il se fait observateur de la souffrance universelle, produit du despotisme, puis acteur de la Révolution, d’une révolution d’abord philosophique puis politique, à la fois universelle et nationale.

    The Making of the Humanities (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: While it is clear that around 1800 the humanities as a discipline rose to prominence, it is less clear what the exact nature of this shift in academia was. Was it a sudden revolution caused by a momentary but powerful change in the zeitgeist or the turning point of a much longer process? In this volume, the editors have selected a series of essays that look at the origins of the humanities and find that long before 1800 the concept of the humanities was already at the fore. The shift around 1800 was thus mostly institutional, not theoretical. The Making of the Humanities traces this new finding through a broad range of disciplines including literary theory, linguistics, art history, and musicology.

    History of Concepts (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Although vastly influential in German-speaking Europe, conceptual history (Begriffsgeschichte) has until now received little attention in English. This genre of intellectual history differs from both the French history of mentalités and the Anglophone history of discourses by positing the concept - the key occupier of significant syntactical space - as the object of historical investigation. Contributions by distinguished practitioners and critics of conceptual history from Europe and America illustrate both the distinctiveness and diversity of the genre. The first part of the book is devoted to the origins and identity of the field, as well as methodological issues. Part two presents exemplary studies focusing either on a particular concept (such as Maurizio Viroli's 'Reason of the State') or a particular approach to conceptual history (e.g. Bernard Scholz for literary criticism and Terence Ball for political science). The final, most innovative section of the book looks at concepts and art - high, bourgeois and demotic. Here Bram Kempers discusses the conceptual history of Raphael's frescos in the Stanza della Segnatura of the Vatican; Eddy de Jongh examines the linguistic character of much Dutch genre painting; and Rolf Reichardt considers the conceptual structure implicit in card games of the French Revolution, used to induct those on the margins of literacy into the new revolutionary world-view.

    Description: This volume about religious tolerance in early modern Brazil comprises two articles. Jonathan Israel, in his contribution, argues that Dutch tolerance in Brazil was unprecedented in the seventeenth century. Catholics and particularly Jews were given freedom of conscience and freedom of private worship in accordance with Dutch guide-lines. Stuart Schwartz, in his article, demonstrates that religious toleration in Dutch Brazil was not exclusively the domain of the Dutch. The Portuguese also widely approved of tolerance at grassroots level, accepting an individual's preference to follow his own path to salvation.

    Description: Capitalism has gone astray. Today we face ecological exhaustion, persistent inequality, financialization, stress on communities, short-termism, and new power concentrations. An avalanche of new economic thinking and a reorientation of European values show the way toward a different economy. A new perspective is necessary if we want to implement the Sustainable Development Goals and if we consider our planet as ‘Our Common Home,’ for present and future generations. This book argues that European economies should be the initiators of a global transition toward a sustainable and inclusive world economy. Together, amid severe geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges, they need to develop their own perspective on what a good economy really is, in distinction to Chinese state capitalism and American big business capitalism. Crucially, this requires the rediscovery of key European values, a coherent view on responsible capitalism, and a new self-awareness as a global player for the Common Good in today’s and tomorrow’s world.

    Making Technology Masculine (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: To say that technology is male comes as no surprise, but the claim that its history is a short one strikes a new note. Making Technology Masculine: Men, Women, and Modern Machines in America, 1870-1945 maps the historical process through which men laid claims to technology as their exclusive terrain. It also explores how women contested this ascendancy of the male discourse and engineered alternative plots. From the moral gymnasium of the shop floor to the staging grounds of World's Fairs, engineers, inventors, social scientists, activists, and novelists emplotted and questioned technology as our modern male myth. Oldenziel recounts the history of technology - both as intellectual construct and material practice - by analyzing these struggles. Drawing on a broad range of sources, she explains why male machines rather than female fabrics have become the modern markers of technology. She shows how technology developed as a narrative production of modern manliness, allowing women little room for negotiation. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Description: In this chapter Rosemarie Buikema elaborates on how decolonial feminist artists and scholars are engaged in knowledge production by means of deploying a poetics of recycling as a way to re-orientate themselves towards the relation between the subject and the object of knowledge, matter and form, signifier and signifed. Buikema analyses the work of El Anatsui and Nandipha Mntambo to illustrate the power of this poetics of recycling and gives the example of an exhibition in which the Museum of Equality and Difference (MOED) re-curated the cultural heritage of abolitionism, giving centre stage to the black, previously enslaved woman Sojourner Truth, rather than the white Dutchman Nicolaas Beets. She concludes that the collective fijield of decolonial feminism envelops engaged scholars and artists like a sensitive skin that continuously responds to the context in which it fnds itself.

    Humans and Aquatic Animals in Early Modern America and Africa (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book deals with peoples’ practices, perceptions, emotions and feelings towards aquatic animals, their ecosystems and nature on the early modern Atlantic coasts by addressing exploitation, use, fear, empathy, otherness, and indifference in the relationships established with aquatic environments and resources by Indigenous Peoples and Europeans. It focuses on large aquatic fauna, especially manatees (but also sharks, sea turtles, seals, and others) as they were hunted, consumed, venerated, conceptualised, and recorded by different societies across the early colonial Americas and West Africa. Through a cross-cultural approach drawing on concepts and analytical methods from marine environmental history, the blue humanities and animal studies, this book addresses more-than-human systems where ecologies, geographies, cosmogonies, and cultures are an entangled web of interdependencies.

    Description: Quel pays a vu, au cours de la décennie passée, son gouvernement mettre à mal le principe de laïcité qui était au fondement même de son existence, et affirmer la nécessité de « reconstruire l’État à partir de zéro » ? La Turquie d’Erdogan ? Bonne réponse, mais aussi le Japon d’Abe Shinzô. Dans quel pays, un dirigeant qui utilise l’éducation comme l’outil d’une reprise en main idéologique de sa population, considère que les « écoles, collèges, lycées et universités doivent être débarrassés au plus vite du “marxisme culturel” » ? Bolsanaro au Brésil ? Deuxième bonne réponse, mais aussi Abe Shinzô et la puissante Conférence du Japon à laquelle il appartenait. Quel est le pays dont le gouvernement a entrepris une réforme de ses programmes scolaires afin d’imposer sa conception de la nation et sa propre version de l’histoire ? La Pologne de Kaczynski ? Oui encore une fois, mais aussi le Japon d’Abe Shinzô. Un Premier ministre qui a réintroduit des cours de patriotisme dans les cursus scolaires, qui a mis en valeur les « accomplissements spirituels extraordinaires » des grandes figures de son histoire dans ses manuels ou encore rendu obligatoire des cours d’éthique ? Orban en Hongrie ? Exact, mais aussi et encore, Abe Shinzô au Japon. La plupart des réformes entreprises au Japon en matière d’éducation depuis le début des années 2000 l’ont été pour des raisons idéologiques. Qui le sait ? Pour la première fois depuis la fin des années 1940, les politiques conduites par la plupart des gouvernements japonais récents visent non pas à améliorer le système éducatif mais à modifier profondément sa nature et sa finalité, l’objectif affiché étant de rebâtir une école formant de « bons et vrais Japonais ». Une situation sur laquelle l’assassinat d’Abe Shinzô, le 8 juillet 2022, n’aura aucun impact, tant ses successeurs affichent aujourd’hui clairement, sur toutes ces questions, leur volonté de mettre leurs pas dans les siens. Cet ouvrage, qui donne beaucoup la parole aux Japonais eux-mêmes, est consacré à ces réformes dont l’impact touche l’ensemble de la société et de la politique japonaises. Il n’est pas sans enseignements pour nos propres sociétés.

    Description: Dante's intranslatability paradoxically causes a steady flux of translations, overwhelming in America, much more modest in the Netherlands. However, the tiny Netherlands witnessed a remarkable boom of Dante translations around the year 2000: within a short period seven cantiche were translated by Dutchmen and seven by Americans. This historic moment gave rise to a seminar about these recent translations, and about the traditions of translating Dante in both nations. The American and Dutch Divine Comedies discussed in this volume are important landmarks in a long tradition of making Dante's work accessible to non-Italian readers in both countries. On this already crowded stage, however, every newcomer inevitably makes statements about how Dante's masterpiece should be read: as a poem, as a scholarly text or as a scholarly poem? The old polarization between the fearless (at times reckless) 'poetical' translators and the more cautious 'academic' translators is very much alive, and the choice seems one between compromise and confrontation, between caution and courage. This volume contains articles by Paolo Cherchi (University of Chicago, Università di Ferrara), Robert Hollander (Princeton University), Jean Hollander, Pieter de Meijer (University of Amsterdam), Paul van Heck (University of Leiden), and Ronald de Rooy (University of Amsterdam).

    La peur chez les Grecs (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La peur est indissociable de notre manière d’expérimenter le monde, et elle détermine notre manière de voir. Processus à la fois cognitif et opérateur de choix décisionnels soumis aux normes sociales en vigueur, la peur n’est pourtant ni sémantiquement définie ni linguistiquement formée. Elle a besoin d’un complément qui l’ancre dans l’expérience : peur des dieux ou de Dieu, du pouvoir, de l’autre, de la guerre, de la mort, etc. L’ouvrage étudie les manières de nommer la peur, de la verbaliser, de la comprendre, de l’interpréter ; les manières de la somatiser, de la rêver, de la mettre en gestes, de la visualiser dans l’art et de la matérialiser dans des objets. À travers l’étude de la peur, de ses mécanismes mais aussi de ses usages sociaux et politiques, c’est toute une histoire des émotions qui est ici esquissée au sein des mondes de langue grecque, de l’Antiquité au xixe siècle. C’est aussi une histoire des sociétés concernées car, à travers la peur, se joue leur rapport au divin, aux autorités, aux ennemis, aux proches, aux étrangers et aux compatriotes, à soi-même enfin.

    Chapter Wandering around the edges of the arts and humanities (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Writing sometimes involves wandering. This writing seeks to say and show what it is to write wandering around the edges of the arts and humanities. It also concerns why some writing is difficult, and thence writing on some of those difficulties. These problematics are wandered around, by several rounds – some images invoked by edge-wandering; registering particular significant individuals; how particular places persist in understandings of wandering; disciplines and methodologies, including reflecting on spatiality and locationality; interdisciplinarity and academia; transnational wanderings across writing genres; and relations of art, humanities, science and politics, understood as personal, work, political and theoretical.

    Audiovisions (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: The production, distribution, and perception of moving images are undergoing a radical transformation. Ever-faster computers, digital technology, and microelectronic are joining forces to produce advanced audiovision -the media vanishing point of the 20th century. Very little will remain unchanged. The classic institutions for the mediation of film - cinema and television - are revealed to be no more than interludes in the broader history of the audiovisual media. This book interprets these changes not simply as a cultural loss but also as a challenge: the new audiovisions have to be confronted squarely to make strategic intervention possible. Audiovisions provides a historical underpinning for this active approach. Spanning 100 years, from the end of the 19th to the end of the 20th century, it reconstructs the complex genesis of cinema and television as historically relative - and thus finite - cultural forms, focussing on the dynamics and tension in the interaction between the apparatus and its uses. The book is also a plea for 'staying power' in studies of cultural technology and technological culture of film. Essayistic in style, it dispenses with complicated cross references and, instead, is structured around distinct historical phases. Montages of images and text provide supplemental information, contrast, and comment. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    À coups de cases et de bulles (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Premier ouvrage abordant les violences faites aux femmes dans le 9e art, À coups de cases et de bulles est à même de montrer la façon dont la bande dessinée franco-belge, les comics mais aussi les mangas traitent les agressions et les crimes de sang. La bande dessinée qui ne cesse d’ouvrir de nouveaux chantiers et de revisiter des domaines déjà balisés, soit en les renouvelant, soit en les inscrivant dans une tradition, continue d’investir l’imaginaire des sociétés contemporaines. Quotidiens, hebdomadaires, trimestriels font désormais une place de plus en plus importante aux cases et aux bulles, mais si les femmes de papier ont été parfois mises à l’honneur ou étudiées, c’est rarement le cas des brutalités, des insultes et des viols qu’elles subissent. Et pourtant, les récits graphiques regorgent de femmes victimes de violences les plus diverses : mariages forcés, humiliations, agressions physiques, viols. Des bandes dessinées relèvent du témoignage et de la littérature du réel, d’autres appartiennent au registre de l’imaginaire, mais toutes traitent d’un fléau universel, parfois en une seule case, d’autres fois en plusieurs planches. La visée du présent ouvrage est d’inverser les perspectives communes, de montrer que les femmes ne sont pas enfermées dans la catégorie des femmes aguicheuses, ni dans celle des faire-valoir, ni non plus dans celles des seules victimes. En effet, même humiliées, brutalisées, martyrisées, elles conservent leur dignité ou leur fierté.

    Dynamics of Power in Dutch Integration Politics (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Integration politics in the Netherlands has changed dramatically between 1990 and 2005. Whereas ethnic and religious differences were hitherto pacified through accommodation, a new and increasingly powerful current in Dutch politicsproblematizes the presence of minorities.This development represents a challenge to sociologists and political scientists: how to map and explain drastic changes?Arguing that extant approaches are better at explaining continuity than change, this book develops a distinct approach to the study of dynamic power relations to understand drastic transformations in the national debate as well as urban governance.

    Le rêve plastique des écrivains (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: La notion de plasticité, délicate à définir, peut être éclairée en fonction du domaine précis dans lequel elle est contextualisée et envisagée. Le point de vue qui la met au cœur d’une dynamique de pensée est ici celui de l’analyse littéraire. En important dans le champ littéraire une réflexion a priori liée aux arts plastiques, en nommant des modalités de la plasticité révélées dans l’écriture, ce recueil d’articles explore les œuvres littéraires avec un regard nouveau, une approche originale, car il relève ce qui, dans les écritures, suggère et réalise un rêve des écrivains, la possibilité d’une dimension sensible donnée à leur œuvre, celle-ci transgressant les limites du lisible pour s’accomplir comme forme également visuelle et visible, sonore et audible. Ces articles ne limitent pas leurs corpus à une époque ou à un genre littéraire (poésie, roman, théâtre). Ils prennent le parti de dégager, tant dans le contenu que dans la forme des textes, ce qui stimule chez le lecteur une perception complexe et un imaginaire doué de plasticité. Ces propositions de définitions de la plasticité centrées sur la littérature participent d’une réflexion rendue cruciale dans un contexte plus général où l’utilisation fréquente du mot « plasticité » est avérée dans de nombreux domaines.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This article deals with art, fashion design, and cultural practice as both critique and creativity. It analyses artworks by William Kentridge, Sue Austin, and Lina Iris Viktor, as well as the fashion of Viktor & Rolf, reading these different works as modes of resistance and revolt against current forms and relations of power and knowledge. The authors place emphasis on new materialism and posthuman theory as theoretical frameworks that expand the range of cultural critique. They add a thematic focus on the actual bodies, the materials of cultural action, and the role of non-human elements in the making of artworks. With reference to feminist, decolonial and indigenous theories, the article analyses the workings of counter-cultural memories in contemporary art and fashion design practices.

    Sergueï Averintsev (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Inconnu en France, Sergueï S. Averintsev (1937-2004) est, pour le philosophe russo-américain Mikhaël Epstein, « cet éminent connaisseur de la culture russe, dont l’apport est considérable dans de nombreux domaines des sciences humaines : philologie, philosophie, théologie, études littéraires, histoire intellectuelle… ». Personnage de frêle apparence mais de grande séduction, vraie légende de la Russie des années 1970, il est ici présenté dans un contexte caractérisé, sur le plan politique, par la sortie du soviétisme et ses conséquences ; et sur le plan philosophique, par un retour aux sources hellénique et byzantine de la pensée russe. L’auteur fait appel aux témoignages des acteurs de la dissidence politico-culturelle qui, avec Averintsev, ont contribué aux changements de cette période : Lossev, Likhatchev, Mamardachvili, Galtsova, Gasparov, Sedakova. Il souligne combien Averintsev, renouant avec un vaste héritage qui va de l’hellénisme tardif à la poésie de l’Âge d’argent, pose des questions d’aujourd’hui : l’identité européenne et la transmission de l’héritage culturel ; la nécessité et les limites d’une politique conservatrice en réponse aux questions du temps ; l’évolution de la linguistique devenue une approche qui inscrit les sociétés dans une large perspective culturelle ; enfin le rôle de la pédagogie directe dans la transmission du savoir.

    La France et les Français à Hong Kong (1918-1941) (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Dans l’entre-deux-guerres, Hong Kong est déjà une ville-monde, un emporium où transitent les marchandises venues de tous les continents, un port franc où commencent et s’achèvent les grandes lignes maritimes, une colonie britannique où s’entrechoquent les existences et, parmi celles-ci, des Françaises et des Français. À Hong Kong, la France est d’abord officiellement représentée par un consulat. Autour de cette sphère gravitent des acteurs aux statuts formels qui participent à l’essor des intérêts français. Maisons de négoce, compagnies maritimes, établissements bancaires ou encore congrégations religieuses ont des besoins similaires : se développer à partir d’un environnement stable, puis rayonner en Asie orientale. Ces groupes ne reflètent toutefois qu’une partie de la communauté française. Des présences marginales s’ajoutent, éphémères, interlopes, rebelles ou simplement jugées insignifiantes. Tous ces éléments sont liés. Leurs interactions tissent la trame d’une société hybride dont les perceptions diffèrent de celles de leurs compatriotes restés en métropole. Ce tableau de la France à Hong Kong interroge les nombreuses réalités de la notion de présences – celles-ci pouvant également être désincarnées, voire immatérielles – et questionne ce qui conduit des Français hors de leur empire. La colonie britannique est un observatoire privilégié pour étudier ces réseaux et les acteurs qui les animent.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: De Indonesische onafhankelijkheidsoorlog is in Nederland lange tijd aangeduid met versluierende termen als ‘politionele acties’. In werkelijkheid was het een ware oorlog waarin Nederlandse troepen met moderne wapens de strijd aangingen. De inzet van artillerie, bommenwerpers en scheepsgeschut werd niet geschuwd in het streven de gewapende ‘opstand’ de kop in te drukken. Wat waren de gevolgen van bombardementen en beschietingen met dergelijk grof geschut? In welke gevallen werden deze middelen ingezet en in hoeverre werd gepoogd burgerslachtoffers te voorkomen? Voor het eerst is op systematische wijze de toepassing van vooral artillerie en luchtstrijdkrachten in de onafhankelijkheidsstrijd onderzocht. Grof geschut biedt zowel statistische overzichten als analyses van gevechten waarbij op grote schaal zware wapens zijn ingezet. Daarbij komt ook de vraag aan de orde hoe de inzet van deze middelen zich verhield tot het geweldsgebruik in het algemeen. Deze studie vormt een onmisbare bijdrage aan onze kennis over de aard en omvang van extreem geweldgebruik door de Nederlandse krijgsmacht in de Indonesische onafhankelijkheidsoorlog.

    New Perspectives on Investment in Infrastructures (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Over the last two decades most infrastructures were subject to significant regime change. Once a state monopoly, infrastructures have now been liberalised or even fully privatised, thereby introducing new actors and new levels of decision making. Regime change has led to an increased emphasis on service delivery, lower prices and enhanced consumer choice, together with a greater concern for efficiency. What are the effects of regime change and the resultant short-term focus for the long-term investment in physical infrastructures? The essays in this bundle analyse the effects on long-term investment in different infrastructures and from different perspectives and disciplines. These findings form the basis for the accompanying WRR Report entitled "http://www.aup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_book&isbn=9789053566053"〉Infrastructures: Time to invest, in which strategic policy orientations are developed that serve short-term values such as efficiency and service provision, as well as long-term values such as security of supply, innovation and sustainability.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Hippolyte Luc (1883-1946) est l’un des bâtisseurs de l’enseignement technique et professionnel français. Orphelin de l’Assistance publique devenu agrégé de philosophie puis haut fonctionnaire, sa trajectoire emblématique de la méritocratie républicaine est celle d’un « transclasse » pétri de doutes et d’ambivalences. Directeur général de l’enseignement technique de 1933 à 1944 dont il a théorisé le rôle dans le développement d’une économie moderne, Luc a puissamment contribué à développer le réseau d’écoles publiques de formation technique et professionnelle, à instituer les diplômes d’État comme critères de qualification et de rémunération des salariés, et il a été un des pionniers de l’orientation. Resté à son poste jusqu’en juillet 1944, authentiquement anti-nazi, Luc n’a pas collaboré avec les autorités allemandes, ni manifesté d’opinion antisémite, mais ne s’est pas davantage engagé dans une action résistante. Au prix d’une compromission avec un gouvernement dont les choix politiques étaient à l’opposé de ses convictions, il a obstinément poursuivi l’accomplissement de ce qu’il considérait comme l’œuvre de sa vie : bâtir un enseignement technique au service du peuple et du pays. En se plaçant au croisement de l’histoire intime et de l’histoire collective, ce livre apporte ainsi des éclairages inédits sur l’histoire scolaire, sociale et politique de la France contemporaine.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Le présent volume prend place dans la série Histoire de la littérature française précédemment éditée chez Nathan. Publié pour la première fois en 1989, il a été profondément remanié à la lumière des recherches les plus récentes. Il présente et analyse les principales œuvres du xviie siècle dans leur originalité singulière, tout en les replaçant dans leur contexte littéraire et socio-culturel, pour expliquer l’évolution des genres, des thèmes, des structures et des styles par la transformation des publics, des auteurs, de leurs protecteurs, de la fonction même de la littérature et de ses conditions de production et de réception. Il distingue les différentes périodes du siècle et en définit les caractères, replaçant les œuvres à la fois dans une continuité diachronique et dans leur fonction synchronique. Il montre, pour chaque époque, les tendances communes et la différenciation des genres et des visions. Il favorise ainsi l’inscription des connaissances dans une réflexion historique. Destiné aux étudiants de Lettres de tous niveaux (classes préparatoires, premier et second cycles des universités), cet ouvrage sera aussi très utile pour la préparation des concours.

    Savoirs de la fiction (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Dès les années 2000, la fiction a cessé d’occuper le devant de la scène théorique en littérature, et pourtant, plus que jamais, sa capacité à configurer notre expérience est en débat. Expériences de pensée, phénomènes de réception de masse ou récits exemplaires, de nombreux textes littéraires modèlent non seulement notre expérience mais aussi notre capacité même à comprendre le monde dans lequel nous vivons. Cette fonction heuristique fait de la fiction un instrument de connaissance et un objet de savoir, notamment pour le droit. À travers des contributions de spécialistes issus de disciplines variées (philosophie, histoire, droit, sociologie), cet ouvrage comporte trois axes de réflexion. Tout d’abord, quels types de savoirs supposent (et développent) notre usage des fictions littéraires ou mentales ? Ensuite, les lectures juridico-historiques de la fiction seront évoquées : quel droit de la fiction ? Quelles réécritures cinématographiques ou littéraires de procès ? Quelles analogies structurelles entre texte littéraire et texte juridique ? Enfin, le rôle de la fiction dans la constitution d’imaginaires sociaux sera questionné à l’aune de ses effets sur la perception des conditions représentées et de l’efficacité critique qui en découle.

    European Development Cooperation (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Official Development Assistance, or foreign aid, disbursed by the EU member states reached record levels in 2008, when several member states raised their assistance considerably, while some of the new member states became donors again. This definitive study analyses a wide range of aspects of European development cooperation, covering, among others, some hotly debated issues such as the Economic Partnership agreements, development policy coherence and the participation of civil society organisations in negotiations with the European Union. The contributors offer valuable new insights into the established aid instruments such as food aid, support for energy projects in Africa and security-related development assistance in the programmes of some smaller European donors, as well as an overview of these new donor programmes. They also discuss the role of local and regional authorities in development cooperation in the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Missionary Men in the Early Modern World (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: How did gender shape the expanding Jesuit enterprise in the early modern world? What did it take to become a missionary man? And how did missionary masculinity align itself with the European colonial project? This book highlights the central importance of male affective ties and masculine mimesis in the formation of the Jesuit missions, as well as the significance of patriarchal dynamics. Focussing on previously neglected German figures, Strasser shows how stories of exemplary male behavior circulated across national boundaries, directing the hearts and feet of men throughout Europe towards Jesuit missions in faraway lands. The sixteenth-century Iberian exemplars of Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier, disseminated in print and visual media, inspired late seventeenth-century Jesuits from German-speaking lands to bring Catholicism and European gender norms to the Spanish-controlled Pacific. As Strasser demonstrates, the age of global missions hinged on the reproduction of missionary manhood in print and real life.
