    Socio-Spatial Theory in Nordic Geography (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-06-21
    Description: This open access book is about socio-spatial theory in, and the nature of, Nordic geography. From both historical and contemporary perspectives, the book engages with theorisations of geography in the Nordic countries. Including chapters by geographers from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, it reflects how theories about the relations between the social and the spatial have been developed, adopted and critiqued in Nordic human geography in relation to a wide range of themes, concepts and approaches. The book also traces institutional developments, distinct geographical traditions and intellectual histories, as well as authors’ own experiences as geographers in and beyond the Nordic area. The chapters together introduce and engage with debates and discussions that permeate Nordic geography and allows readers a glimpse of geographical thinking and the role of socio-spatial theory in the Nordic countries. By providing insights into how geographical ideas emerge, travel and are translated and adapted in specific contexts, the book contributes to debates about historical-geographical situatedness and theorisations of geography.

    Écrire la crise (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Écrire la crise ce n'est pas la raconter. C'est montrer comment elle modifie nos manières de raconter. Encore faut-il s'entendre sur le mot lui-même car peut-on appeler crise (du grec « krisis » : changement brutal) cette lente dissolution des valeurs de la modernité qui nous fait entrer dans un « après » informulable, sinon par le terme souvent controversé de postmodernité ? Au-delà des polémiques que suscite cette notion, il s'agit ici de considérer le postmoderne non pas comme une régression anti-moderne mais comme la prise de conscience d'un certain nombre de dévoiements du projet moderne qui nous projettent dans une ère de turbulence dont les arts, et en particulier la littérature, portent la marque. Ainsi considéré, le postmodernisme n'est ni une école, ni une avant-garde. Il témoigne avant tout d'une crise de culture à la transition des deux siècles, qui s'est transformée en culture de la crise, de sorte que, non seulement la pensée, la science et les arts, s'en trouvent affectés, mais de manière plus profonde encore, la société et l'individu. C'est pourquoi cet essai se propose à la fois, d'examiner l'hypothèse postmoderne comme mise en turbulence des valeurs de la modernité, et de définir le postmodernisme en littérature comme une esthétique qui met en relation les configurations sociales et certaines formes d'écriture contemporaine.

    Towards the “Perfect” Weather Warning (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-14
    Description: This book is about making weather warnings more effective in saving lives, property, infrastructure and livelihoods, but the underlying theme of the book is partnership. The book represents the warning process as a pathway linking observations to weather forecasts to hazard forecasts to socio-economic impact forecasts to warning messages to the protective decision, via a set of five bridges that cross the divides between the relevant organisations and areas of expertise. Each bridge represents the communication, translation and interpretation of information as it passes from one area of expertise to another and ultimately to the decision maker, who may be a professional or a member of the public. The authors explore the partnerships upon which each bridge is built, assess the expertise and skills that each partner brings and the challenges of communication between them, and discuss the structures and methods of working that build effective partnerships. The book is ordered according to the “first mile” paradigm in which the decision maker comes first, and then the production chain through the warning and forecast to the observations is considered second. This approach emphasizes the importance of co-design and co-production throughout the warning process. The book is targeted at professionals and trainee professionals with a role in the warning chain, i.e. in weather services, emergency management agencies, disaster risk reduction agencies, risk management sections of infrastructure agencies. This is an open access book.

    L’aventure démocratique (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-01
    Description: Ce livre est un hommage à Jean Baudouin, professeur émérite de science politique qui achève sa carrière après quatre décennies d’enseignement et de recherche à l’université Rennes 1. Après une introduction qui présente son itinéraire et son apport à la science politique française, ses collègues, amis et élèves abordent les grands domaines et les principales thématiques qui ont occupé sa pensée. Les contributions de ce volume s’organisent autour de trois parties. La première, qui porte sur les radicalités politiques, explore principalement le phénomène communiste, envisagé dans ses dimensions nationale et mondiale, tout en offrant également de nouvelles perspectives sur les évolutions récentes de l’extrême gauche et l’engagement frontiste. La deuxième partie, centrée sur la question de la démocratie libérale, associe l’étude d’auteurs classiques à un questionnement conceptuel qui vient éclairer l’actualité la plus brûlante concernant la démocratie, la place du religieux ou encore la situation de l’Union européenne. La troisième partie vient enfin contribuer à l’étude de l’engagement des intellectuels en politique, en attirant l’attention sur des figures aussi différentes que Charles Fourier, Louis Aragon, Francis Delaisi, Emmanuel Mounier, Michel Foucault ou les intellectuels maoïstes. L’ensemble se clôt sur la reprise d’un article important de Jean Baudouin, datant de 1997 et devenu aujourd’hui introuvable, précisant la conception du politique défendue par ce professeur au positionnement singulier. Cet ouvrage entend ainsi offrir au lecteur une vue panoramique sur un courant dynamique de la science politique française – la théorie politique – dont il a été l’un des principaux animateurs et dont il reste l’un des plus éminents représentants. Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions de Jean Baudouin, Philippe Bénéton, David Bisson, Goulven Boudic, Daniel Bourmaud, Philippe Braud, Bernard Bruneteau, Sébastien Caré, Gwendal Châton, Stéphane Courtois, Jean-Marie Donégani, Michel Hastings, François Hourmant, Marc Lazar, Arnauld Leclerc, Jacques Le Goff, Pascal Perrineau, Philippe Portier, Philippe Raynaud et Thuriane Séveno. Sa publication a bénéficié du soutien de l’Institut du droit public et de la science politique (IDPSP) de l’université Rennes 1, ainsi que de la faculté de droit et de science politique.

    Equity Policies in Global Higher Education (2022)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-16
    Description: This book discusses and analyses global policies and practices aimed at promoting equity in higher education participation and attainment. Although the massification of higher education systems has facilitated the participation of students from deprived backgrounds, socioeconomic inequalities persist in access to the most prestigious institutions and programmes. Privileged students benefit from a number of advantages in the competition for selective and scarce places: access to information, lower aversion to debt, higher expectations, better previous schooling and higher academic achievement. The chapters present a critical analysis of equity policies in different countries – with or without affirmative action policies, within a context of neoliberal policies or within a social democratic model – and the reasons why they have failed to promote equity and fairness, preventing students from achieving their full educational potential. This is an open access book.

    Bioimage Data Analysis Workflows ‒ Advanced Components and Methods (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: This open access textbook aims at providing detailed explanations on how to design and construct image analysis workflows to successfully conduct bioimage analysis. Addressing the main challenges in image data analysis, where acquisition by powerful imaging devices results in very large amounts of collected image data, the book discusses techniques relying on batch and GPU programming, as well as on powerful deep learning-based algorithms. In addition, downstream data processing techniques are introduced, such as Python libraries for data organization, plotting, and visualizations. Finally, by studying the way individual unique ideas are implemented in the workflows, readers are carefully guided through how the parameters driving biological systems are revealed by analyzing image data. These studies include segmentation of plant tissue epidermis, analysis of the spatial pattern of the eye development in fruit flies, and the analysis of collective cell migration dynamics. The presented content extends the Bioimage Data Analysis Workflows textbook (Miura, Sladoje, 2020), published in this same series, with new contributions and advanced material, while preserving the well-appreciated pedagogical approach adopted and promoted during the training schools for bioimage analysis organized within NEUBIAS – the Network of European Bioimage Analysts. This textbook is intended for advanced students in various fields of the life sciences and biomedicine, as well as staff scientists and faculty members who conduct regular quantitative analyses of microscopy images.

    Bad Brains (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Aux États-Unis, la notion de race est utilisée de manière routinière par les médecins en tant que variable biologique, culturelle ou sociale, selon les situations de soins. Croisant les notions de citoyenneté, de responsabilité et de droits civiques, ainsi que les questionnements autour de la politisation de la science, cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire de la médicalisation du corps noir par la profession psychiatrique aux États-Unis, du xxe siècle jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. Conjuguant l’histoire et la sociologie, il est ainsi question de retracer les différents régimes par lesquels la notion de race a été jugée pertinente par les psychiatres pour naturaliser les différences corporelles des années 1920 jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. En s’appuyant sur un corpus d’archives personnelles de médecins, d’institutions de soins et de centres de recherche en psychiatrie, ainsi que sur une enquête qualitative réalisée auprès de psychiatres en Californie, ce livre démontre que la catégorie de race irrigue encore et toujours les pratiques et les discours institutionnels, aussi bien dans les représentations que les médecins véhiculent des corps soignés, que dans les stratégies de naturalisation du social employées pour prendre en charge leurs patients.

    xxAI - Beyond Explainable AI (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This is an open access book. Statistical machine learning (ML) has triggered a renaissance of artificial intelligence (AI). While the most successful ML models, including Deep Neural Networks (DNN), have developed better predictivity, they have become increasingly complex, at the expense of human interpretability (correlation vs. causality). The field of explainable AI (xAI) has emerged with the goal of creating tools and models that are both predictive and interpretable and understandable for humans. Explainable AI is receiving huge interest in the machine learning and AI research communities, across academia, industry, and government, and there is now an excellent opportunity to push towards successful explainable AI applications. This volume will help the research community to accelerate this process, to promote a more systematic use of explainable AI to improve models in diverse applications, and ultimately to better understand how current explainable AI methods need to be improved and what kind of theory of explainable AI is needed. After overviews of current methods and challenges, the editors include chapters that describe new developments in explainable AI. The contributions are from leading researchers in the field, drawn from both academia and industry, and many of the chapters take a clear interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. The concepts discussed include explainability, causability, and AI interfaces with humans, and the applications include image processing, natural language, law, fairness, and climate science.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Cet ouvrage interroge les formes que revêtent les mémoires, le rapport du politique au passé, le rapport de la société avec les experts et les chercheurs. Évoquer la question de la reconstruction d’une société après un épisode traumatique permet de retracer les filiations qui se font ou se défont au prisme de la mémoire et de l’histoire d’un pays. Le sujet principal est ici la guerre de Vendée, mais il aborde aussi d’autres conflits intraétatiques : Saint-Domingue devenue Haïti, l’Algérie, la Nouvelle-Calédonie du xvie siècle à nos jours. Ces contributions comparatives passent par l’archéologie, l’ethnologie, la littérature et l’histoire. Ce volume permet une meilleure compréhension de l’histoire et de la mémoire des guerres civiles telles qu’elles ont été pensées, écrites, reconstruites et transmises par les acteurs, les témoins, les contemporains, les historiens. Les douze textes, ponctués par les conclusions de Jean-Clément Martin, permettent de mieux entrer dans la fabrique des mémoires des guerres civiles d’hier et d’aujourd’hui.

    Regularized System Identification (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book provides a comprehensive treatment of recent developments in kernel-based identification that are of interest to anyone engaged in learning dynamic systems from data. The reader is led step by step into understanding of a novel paradigm that leverages the power of machine learning without losing sight of the system-theoretical principles of black-box identification. The authors’ reformulation of the identification problem in the light of regularization theory not only offers new insight on classical questions, but paves the way to new and powerful algorithms for a variety of linear and nonlinear problems. Regression methods such as regularization networks and support vector machines are the basis of techniques that extend the function-estimation problem to the estimation of dynamic models. Many examples, also from real-world applications, illustrate the comparative advantages of the new nonparametric approach with respect to classic parametric prediction error methods. The challenges it addresses lie at the intersection of several disciplines so Regularized System Identification will be of interest to a variety of researchers and practitioners in the areas of control systems, machine learning, statistics, and data science. This is an open access book.

    Mikel Dufrenne et l’esthétique (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Ce livre s’efforce de réparer une injustice : proposer une réflexion d’ensemble sur l’œuvre du philosophe français Mikel Dufrenne (1910-1995) qui semble un peu délaissée voire méconnue aujourd’hui. Si sa démarche phénoménologique héritée de Husserl le conduit immanquablement à s’interroger sur la place singulière que l’objet esthétique occupe dans notre monde, son projet est plus ambitieux. L’attention que Mikel Dufrenne porte aux différents arts (les arts plastiques, la musique, la poésie) ainsi qu’à la richesse des expériences esthétiques vécues, décrites et commentées, lui permet en effet de viser un but supérieur : non seulement redéfinir et réorganiser la phénoménologie autour de la question de l’art, mais faire de l’œuvre ce qui permet de remonter vers un principe originaire, la Nature, qui fonde toute création. Cette tâche singulière et méconnue méritait bien un effort philosophique collectif dont le présent ouvrage est le fruit.

    The Logical Writings of Karl Popper (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: This open access book is the first ever collection of Karl Popper's writings on deductive logic. Karl R. Popper (1902-1994) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His philosophy of science ("falsificationism") and his social and political philosophy ("open society") have been widely discussed way beyond academic philosophy. What is not so well known is that Popper also produced a considerable work on the foundations of deductive logic, most of it published at the end of the 1940s as articles at scattered places. This little-known work deserves to be known better, as it is highly significant for modern proof-theoretic semantics. This collection assembles Popper's published writings on deductive logic in a single volume, together with all reviews of these papers. It also contains a large amount of unpublished material from the Popper Archives, including Popper's correspondence related to deductive logic and manuscripts that were (almost) finished, but did not reach the publication stage. All of these items are critically edited with additional comments by the editors. A general introduction puts Popper's work into the context of current discussions on the foundations of logic. This book should be of interest to logicians, philosophers, and anybody concerned with Popper's work.

    Digital Transformation in Norwegian Enterprises (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book presents a number of case studies on digital transformation in Norway, one of the fore-runners in the digital progress index established by the European Commission in 2020. They explore the process of adoption, diffusion and value generation from digital technologies, and how the use of different digital solutions has enabled Norwegian enterprises to digitally transform their operations and business models. The book starts with an introductory chapter summarizing a vast body of literature in order to synthesize what is already known about digital transformation before exploring the Norwegian context in more detail. Then a series of case studies from the private and public sector in Norway is presented. They document a process perspective which describes the sequence of events during and after adoption of digital solutions, as well as the types of business value that were realized. Through these single studies, the process of digital transformation is illustrated, a number of key findings highlighted, and eventually theoretical and practical recommendations based on these cases emphasized. The book closes with a brief overview of some emerging technologies, and comments on how they are likely to change different sectors. Digital transformation has been one of the priority areas for the Norwegian government over the past years and puts Norwegian enterprises upfront in adopting novel technologies and utilizing them for achieving organizational goals. This experience accumulated over the years makes the Norwegian context a particularly interesting one in understanding how private and public organizations make use of new digital solutions, what lessons can be learnt during the process, and what are some of the key success and failure factors. This way the book is written for practitioners who are currently involved in digital transformation projects in their organizations, researchers of information systems and management, as well as master students in degrees of informatics and technology management.

    Du sublime dans l’œuvre gravé de Rembrandt (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Excellant à représenter les passions nobles, Rembrandt est qualifié d’artiste du sublime par ses contemporains. Or, depuis que la Renaissance a redécouvert le traité de Longin, le sublime – ou l’art qui dépasse l’art – est l’objet de débats dans les cercles artistiques et religieux. Embrassant l’ensemble de l’œuvre gravé de l’artiste, ce livre fait dialoguer philosophie et histoire de l’art. Il soutient l’idée selon laquelle, même s’il n’est pas théoricien, Rembrandt contribue à renouveler la tradition d’interprétation du sublime. Le principe méthodologique consiste à dégager la pensée de l’artiste. Confronter la pratique du graveur à son iconographie religieuse, inédite dans un pays calviniste, aide à analyser la cohérence de cette pensée. Rembrandt renonce au modèle préalable du dessin pour s’immerger dans le sensible. Or son Christ est proche du Christ de la kénose tel qu’il est présenté par Paul dans ses épîtres : il s’incarne en se vidant de sa puissance. La contradiction entre l’humble et le sublime est au cœur de la pensée de Rembrandt, et on peut y voir un enjeu politique : figures de l’invisible social, ses mendiants évoquent la grandeur de l’homme.

    Digital Humanism (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book deals with cultural and philosophical aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) and pleads for a “digital humanism”. This term is beginning to be en vogue everywhere. Due to a growing discontentment with the way digitalization is being used in the world, particularly formulated by former heroes of Internet, social media and search engine companies, philosophical as well as industrial thought leaders begin to plead for a humane use of digital tools. Yet the term “digital humanism” is a particular terminology that lacks a sound conceptual and philosophical basis and needs clarification still – and this gap is exactly filled by this book. It propagates a vision of society in which digitization is used to strengthen human self-determination, autonomy and dignity and whose time has come to be propagated throughout the world. The advantage of this book is that it is philosophically sound and yet written in a way that will make it accessible for everybody interested in the subject. Every chapters begins with a film scene illustrating a precise philosophical problem with AI and how we look at it – making the book not only readable, but even entertaining. And after having read the book the reader will have a clear vision of what it means to live in a world where digitization and AI are central technologies for a better and more humane civilization.

    Higher Education in Romania: Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Opportunities (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-16
    Description: This open access book includes a series of relevant policy research articles, elaborared in the framework of the “Quality in higher education: internationalisation and databases to enhance the Romanian education system” project, implemented by the Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding (UEFISCDI), together with the Ministry of Education. The project aims to develop and implement systemic measures at tertiary education level, leading to an increased quality of the overall higher education system and universities better prepared for labour market requirements and international standards. The book focuses on areas of interest for Romanian higher education, such as systemic measures to improve access, participation and completion for (vulnerable) students, better promotion of the Romanian higher education to attract students, as well as instruments for a more efficient use of data at higher education level. Each article includes evidence-based policy proposals that could support new strategic initiatives in higher education, including new legislation. Additionally, the collection of articles tells a comprehensive story about the audacity of a higher education system which went through significant challenges to align itself with both European and international trends, as well as respond to national imperatives. Over the last three decades, since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Romanian higher education has undergone significant transformations, aiming to align itself to the latest developments and trends at European and international level. The National Law on Education no. 1/2011 has set the stage for a full implementation of the Bologna Process action lines, taking into account that Romania was already a part of the largest European intergovernmental process – currently the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) – as a founding member. However, since the adoption of this normative framework, the law suffered numerous amendments, making it challenging to observe and achieve coherence in its implementation. Furthermore, Romania is also currently redesigning the strategy for the alocation of European structural funds 2021-2027, based on two strategic documents - the new Education and Employment Operational Programme and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan which highlight the reform and investment priorities at a national level. At the same time, 2021 is a good time to analyze the level of implementation for the objectives and measures included in the National Strategy for Tertiary Education 2015-2020, the Europe 2020 Strategy, and the Bologna Process action lines in the 2010 – 2020 timeframe. Therefore, the present moment may be an important time to assess the impact of strategic documents and actions in the last decade and, possibly, to draft a new National Education Law, better adapted to current realities, starting from the recent initiative by the President of Romania – the Educated Romania strategic vision which was also politically assumed by the Romanian Government.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Depuis plus d’un siècle la notion de « nuisible » fait l’objet d’une contestation de plus en plus vive. Pourtant elle connaît une singulière persistance sociale en tant que concept opérationnel qui donne aux hommes une certaine légitimité pour gérer, et souvent détruire, certaines espèces. À l’heure où la France vient d’adopter la loi sur la reconquête de la biodiversité, la question des « nuisibles » reprend une singulière acuité avec la multiplication d’espèces exotiques envahissantes et les vives controverses qui demeurent autour du loup, du renard mais aussi de l’utilisation des insecticides et des herbicides pour se défaire de « gêneurs ». Si la notion de « nuisible » demeure centrale dans la gestion du sauvage par nos sociétés, elle s’avère très variable selon l’époque, l’espèce, le territoire ou le groupe social considéré. Pour dresser un état de la recherche, historiciser cette notion et éclairer les enjeux actuels, il convient de croiser les regards afin de caractériser les différentes conceptions de la notion de « nuisible » qui coexistent actuellement et d’en retracer les origines, tout en s’ouvrant aux acteurs du présent. Ainsi cet ouvrage entend contribuer à explorer les interactions entre les sociétés et la nature, et permettre de mieux saisir leurs coévolutions.

    Biodiversity of the Gulf of Guinea Oceanic Islands (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-11-19
    Description: This open access book presents a comprehensive synthesis of the biodiversity of the oceanic islands of the Gulf of Guinea, a biodiversity hotspot off the west coast of Central Africa. Written by experts, the book compiles data from a plethora of sources – archives, museums, bibliography, official reports and previously unpublished data – to provide readers with the most updated information about the biological richness of these islands and the conservation issues they face. The Gulf of Guinea Oceanic Islands (Príncipe, São Tomé and Annobón and surrounding islets) present extraordinary levels of endemism across different animal, fungi and plant groups. This very high endemism likely results from the long geological history of the islands and their proximity to the diversity-rich continent. Many researchers, students and conservationists from across the globe are interested in documenting biodiversity on the islands, understanding the evolutionary origins of this diversity, and mitigating the impacts of global change on this unique archipelago. This book aims to be a primer for a broad audience seeking baseline biodiversity information and to serve as a roadmap for future research efforts aiming to fill knowledge gaps in understanding and conserving the unparalleled biodiversity of the Gulf of Guinea islands.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This Open Access book discusses the progress of science and the transfer of scientific knowledge to technological application. It also identifies the factors necessary to achieve this progress. Based on a case study of the physical chemist Fritz Haber's discovery of ammonia synthesis between 1903 and 1909, the book places Haber's work in historical and scientific (physicochemical) context. The scientific developments of the preceding century are framed in a way that emphasizes the confluence of knowledge needed for Haber's success. Against this background, Haber's work is presented in detail along with the indispensable contributions of his colleague, the physical chemist, Walter Nernst, and their assistants. The detailed accounts of scientific advancement remind us of the physical basis on which our scientific theories and ideas are built. Without this reminder we often forget how complex, and how beautiful achievements in science can be.

    Pergame (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: À la suite des dernières volontés du roi Attale III, le royaume de Pergame fut légué au peuple romain en 133 avant J.-C. : un tel événement constitua un choc considérable pour les notables de la célèbre cité, laquelle bénéficiait cependant du statut de civitas libera. Dès lors, ceux qu’on désignait comme les aristoi andres, c’est-à-dire les hommes les plus aptes à prendre les rênes de la vie politique pergaménienne, formèrent une force de substitution à la monarchie. Ces personnages influents, riches et reconnus par leurs concitoyens, consolidèrent leur domination en endossant des magistratures, des liturgies et en se montrant évergètes. Si Pergame fut marquée à l’époque républicaine par de nombreux troubles, le Haut-Empire proposa de nouvelles perspectives politiques à ces notables. Intégrés à l’empire, les plus brillants d’entre eux formèrent alors une éclatante élite et devinrent des partenaires parfois privilégiés des empereurs sur le plan politique. Selon l’historien allemand Helmut Halfmann, les notables de Pergame auraient été des personnages particulièrement conservateurs, qui auraient maintenu dans la cité des traditions héritées directement de l’époque attalide, et rétifs à l’implantation de traditions ou de valeurs nouvelles, essentiellement celles de Rome. Un certain nombre d’arguments viennent nuancer cette grille de lecture. Certes, seule la plus haute strate de la société apparaît dans les sources épigraphiques, ce qui indique que la vie politique était en quelque sorte cadenassée par les élites les plus riches, d’un niveau social exceptionnel, d’autant plus que les titres honorifiques, particulièrement rares dans la cité, étaient également monopolisés par ces notables. Pour autant, ces personnages brillants étaient-ils plus conservateurs qu’ailleurs ? Il semble plutôt qu’il s’agissait de notables capables de s’adapter consciemment au nouvel ordre romain, à travers la mise en place et le développement du culte impérial voire la modification de certains sanctuaires traditionnels au profit du culte de l’empereur, par exemple l’Asklépieion. De même, la position « monarchique » de certains d’entre eux doit être nuancée, et le maintien de cultes hérités de l’époque attalide ne saurait témoigner d’un conservatisme forcené, puisque c’est un phénomène que l’on retrouve dans bon nombre d’autres cités.

    Aux marges de l’hérésie (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Si l’histoire traditionnelle de l’hérésie au Moyen Âge s’est longtemps confondue avec celle des exclus de la société, l’approche récente se focalise davantage sur les diverses autorités qui, au coeur du pouvoir, élaborèrent la norme religieuse : l’hérésie n’existe que parce que l’orthodoxie en a d’abord décidé. Il reste que, loin de se présenter comme une essence immuable, elle s’impose tout au long du Moyen Âge comme un concept et une qualification d’une très grande plasticité. L’extension progressive du domaine de l’hérésie à de nombreuses formes de dissidence finit par lui assurer le statut d’un crime englobant. Cette enquête collective repose sur la conviction que c’est encore en se situant aux marges de l’hérésie, au contact d’activités répréhensibles voisines, telles que l’usure, la sorcellerie ou encore la rébellion politique, que l’on peut le mieux saisir les principes et les mécanismes de la fabrique de l’hérésie.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Qu’on l’appelle « D-Day », « Jour J », « 6 Juin » ou « Débarquement », nulle autre précision n’est nécessaire pour évoquer l’offensive alliée en Normandie en 1944, alors même que de nombreuses opérations militaires de ce type ont été menées au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et que le sort de l’Allemagne nazie s’est joué sur le front de l’Est. Quelles sont les raisons qui expliquent que cette bataille – une parmi tant d’autres qui ont émaillé les conflits du xxe siècle – a d’emblée revêtu une dimension historique pour les contemporains ? Pourquoi précisément cette opération militaire est-elle désormais régulièrement commémorée par autant de chefs d’État sous le regard des télévisions du monde entier ? Comment expliquer le statut si particulier acquis par cet événement au fil des décennies, jusqu’au projet d’inscription des plages du Débarquement au patrimoine de l’Unesco ? En revenant à la dramatisation des enjeux d’une bataille annoncée près de quatre années à l’avance, mais aussi aux ressorts politiques, idéologiques, économiques et culturels qui ont contribué à transcender l’événement en épopée, cet ouvrage s’interroge sur la quête d’identité de chacun des acteurs nationaux à travers l’évolution de leur mémoire. Ainsi peut-on mieux comprendre la surprenante transformation de l’épisode guerrier en symbole universel de paix et de liberté.

    Bayes Factors for Forensic Decision Analyses with R (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Bayes Factors for Forensic Decision Analyses with R provides a self-contained introduction to computational Bayesian statistics using R. With its primary focus on Bayes factors supported by data sets, this book features an operational perspective, practical relevance, and applicability—keeping theoretical and philosophical justifications limited. It offers a balanced approach to three naturally interrelated topics: Probabilistic Inference - Relies on the core concept of Bayesian inferential statistics, to help practicing forensic scientists in the logical and balanced evaluation of the weight of evidence. Decision Making - Features how Bayes factors are interpreted in practical applications to help address questions of decision analysis involving the use of forensic science in the law. Operational Relevance - Combines inference and decision, backed up with practical examples and complete sample code in R, including sensitivity analyses and discussion on how to interpret results in context. Over the past decades, probabilistic methods have established a firm position as a reference approach for the management of uncertainty in virtually all areas of science, including forensic science, with Bayes' theorem providing the fundamental logical tenet for assessing how new information—scientific evidence—ought to be weighed. Central to this approach is the Bayes factor, which clarifies the evidential meaning of new information, by providing a measure of the change in the odds in favor of a proposition of interest, when going from the prior to the posterior distribution. Bayes factors should guide the scientist's thinking about the value of scientific evidence and form the basis of logical and balanced reporting practices, thus representing essential foundations for rational decision making under uncertainty. This book would be relevant to students, practitioners, and applied statisticians interested in inference and decision analyses in the critical field of forensic science. It could be used to support practical courses on Bayesian statistics and decision theory at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and will be of equal interest to forensic scientists and practitioners of Bayesian statistics for driving their evaluations and the use of R for their purposes. This book is Open Access.

    Sherlock Holmes, un nouveau limier pour le XXIe siècle (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: La popularité actuelle de Sherlock Holmes, son importance dans notre paysage, posent la question de savoir pourquoi il est, plus que jamais, notre contemporain. Notre société, plus victorienne qu’il n’y paraît, voit monter un certain nombre d’angoisses et d’inquiétudes urbaines – économiques, sociales, médicales – qui ravivent du même coup le paradigme d’un enquêteur quasi infaillible, capable de résoudre, avec rapidité, élégance et brio des énigmes pourtant retorses, défiant les compétences de la police officielle. Un retour au texte de Conan Doyle montre pourtant que ce paradigme est instable, que le détective est capable de toutes les métamorphoses et de tous les déguisements. Le fait que la série de la BBC Sherlock transpose aujourd’hui avec une aisance ludique l’univers créé par Conan Doyle dans le Strand Magazine à la fin des années 1880 illustre la foncière plasticité et adaptabilité de la figure du célèbre détective, jusque dans le monde des téléphones portables et d’Internet qui est le nôtre. Les actes du colloque international « Sherlock Holmes : un nouveau limier pour le XXIe siècle » tenu à Cerisy-la-Salle en 2014 remontent aux sources mêmes du mythe littéraire pour suivre les évolutions subies par ce couple éminemment malléable qu’est le duo formé par Sherlock Holmes et le Dr Watson. Des premières adaptations pour l’écran muet, réalisées du vivant même de l’auteur, jusqu’aux séries télévisées actuelles, entre réécritures et pastiches qui passent par le cinéma, la BD, et la littérature, les auteurs ici réunis traquent les formes esthétiques et les supports divers qui ont porté l’image protéiforme du détective et de son acolyte jusqu’à nous, creusant le personnage aux attributs si reconnaissables pour mieux en dégager la profondeur. Venu à nous « d’un Londres de gaz et de bruine », Sherlock Holmes est bien, selon Borges, « une de ces bonnes manies qui nous restent ».

    Women, Migration and Gendered Experiences (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-16
    Description: This open access book focuses on Albanian internal and international female migration and places gender at the heart of postsocialist transformation. It explores the vulnerabilities that arise for female citizens from the contradictory policies produced by the Albanian state. By illuminating the intersection of gender and migration, it shows how Albanian women are likely to embed themselves in complex social relations and migration trajectories. By focusing on various cases – internal, international, return, economic and student female migrants – the book underlines that migration does not follow any kind of evolutionary development, according to which women go from 'traditional’ to ‘modern' gender relations. By providing a compelling account on the complex negotiations and tactics women employ to deal with gender inequalities, this book leads to a better understanding of gender and migration entanglements. It is a useful read to students, academics in migration and gender studies as well as social scientists and policy-makers in European countries.

    La naissance de l’écologie politique en France (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-01
    Description: La nébuleuse des mouvements écologistes apparaît en France au cœur des années 68, ces quelque vingt ans à la fois marqués par une forte contestation sociale et d’importantes innovations politiques et culturelles. Animés par l’aspiration commune à redéfinir les rapports entre l’homme et la nature pour transformer la société, ces mouvements n’en sont pas moins fort divers dans leur positionnement politique, leur répertoire d’action et leur approche des enjeux environnementaux, bref, dans leur culture écologique. Au confluent de l’histoire politique et de l’histoire environnementale, mobilisant des archives inédites, cet ouvrage se penche sur la genèse et la construction de ces mouvements sur le terrain et dans les urnes. Tout au long des années soixante-dix, les militants de cette nébuleuse s’efforcent de donner forme à leur mouvement et d’en promouvoir l’unité. Après une période fructueuse entre 1974 et 1978, durant laquelle la contestation antinucléaire bat son plein, les écologistes sont confrontés à la fin de la décennie à un contexte politique, social et économique radicalement nouveau avec l’installation de la crise économique dans la durée et la banalisation relative des enjeux environnementaux. Ces sorties des années 68 constituent alors un temps de remise en cause et parfois de désengagement qui conduit certains militants à se rallier à l’idée d’une structure partidaire auparavant rejetée pour fonder les Verts en 1984.

    Publication Date: 2022-09-22
    Description: Dieses Open-Access-Buch fokussiert die Herausforderungen und Bedarfe, die sich für die öffentliche Verwaltung aus der stetig fortschreitenden Digitalisierung ergeben. Insbesondere der öffentliche Dienst als zentrale Ressource der Verwaltung benötigt eine ganze Bandbreite an neuen, digitalen Kompetenzen, um im digitalen Zeitalter handlungsfähig zu bleiben. Welche Kompetenzen dies im Einzelnen sind und inwiefern sie in der Verwaltung bereits berücksichtigt werden, ist bislang jedoch unklar. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht die Autorin den aktuellen Stellenwert digitaler Kompetenzen in der Personalakquise des höheren Dienstes des Bundes und der Länder in Deutschland. Dabei wird ein eigens entwickeltes Begriffsverständnis der „digitalen Kompetenzen“ mit konkretem Bezug auf Recht, Strukturen und Strategien der deutschen Verwaltung erarbeitet und zu einem Kompetenzrahmen verdichtet, der in der Praxis auf unterschiedliche Bedarfe adaptiert werden kann. Neben Erkenntnissen aus der umfassenden Analyse des aktuellen Status Quo liefert das Buch konkrete Lösungsansätze für ein gelingendes Kompetenzmanagement in einer effektiv digitalisierten öffentlichen Verwaltung.

    La Compagnie des îles de l’Amérique (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: En 1626, une première compagnie par actions est formée à l’initiative de Richelieu pour mener la colonisation des Petites Antilles et organiser le trafic transatlantique. Elle repose sur les associés, des proches du cardinal, qui en possèdent le capital et en assurent la direction. En 1635, elle est réorganisée afin de pouvoir satisfaire d’une façon plus efficace les objectifs qui lui ont été fixés par la monarchie, à savoir, conquérir et peupler des terres et favoriser le commerce. Elle prend alors le nom de Compagnie des îles de l’Amérique. Sous sa conduite, les Français déjà établis à Saint-Christophe s’installent à la Guadeloupe et à la Martinique et affichent des prétentions sur la Grenade, Sainte-Croix, Saint- Martin et Saint-Barthélemy. Plusieurs milliers de colons tentent l’aventure en franchissant l’océan à la quête d’un meilleur avenir et de richesses. Les terres sont exploitées pour satisfaire les besoins de la métropole. Quelques grands domaines s’appuyant sur une main-d’œuvre constituée d’esclaves africains développent de nouvelles productions comme le sucre et l’indigo. Mais la Compagnie est bientôt confrontée à de multiples difficultés qui remettent en cause son fonctionnement et ses finalités. Les tensions dans les îles et les faibles retombées de sa politique économique conduisent les associés à cesser progressivement leurs activités à partir de 1649. Sa fin pourtant ne signifie pas l’échec de la colonisation française des Petites Antilles. L’héritage qu’elle lègue va fructifier durant les décennies suivantes et donner naissance au premier empire colonial français.

    Forest Bioeconomy and Climate Change (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This edited open access volume explores the role of forest bioeconomy in addressing climate change. The authors put a particular focus on planetary boundaries and how the linear, growth-oriented economy, is coupled with climate change and environmental degradation. Biobased products and sustainable production paths have been developed, but how can they be scaled in order to lead to an economic paradigm shift? This and other questions are discussed throughout the volume. Since science indicates that climate change will continue this century, the authors also analyse how forests can be adapted to increasing forest disturbances that changing climate are expected to cause. The authors propose climate-smart forestry as useful approach for climate mitigation and adaptation of forests to climate change, as wells as sustainable increase of economic well-being based on forestry. The book illustrates the application of climate-smart forestry in the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany and Spain, i.e., in EU countries with quite different forests and forest sectors. This proactive and inspiring volume is an essential resource for Forest Management professionals, decision makers, scientists, and forestry students. ;

    Mobile Forensics – The File Format Handbook (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book summarizes knowledge about several file systems and file formats commonly used in mobile devices. In addition to the fundamental description of the formats, there are hints about the forensic value of possible artefacts, along with an outline of tools that can decode the relevant data. The book is organized into two distinct parts: Part I describes several different file systems that are commonly used in mobile devices. · APFS is the file system that is used in all modern Apple devices including iPhones, iPads, and even Apple Computers, like the MacBook series. · Ext4 is very common in Android devices and is the successor of the Ext2 and Ext3 file systems that were commonly used on Linux-based computers. · The Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS) is a Linux system designed explicitly for NAND Flash memory, common in removable storage devices and mobile devices, which Samsung Electronics developed in 2012. · The QNX6 file system is present in Smartphones delivered by Blackberry (e.g. devices that are using Blackberry 10) and modern vehicle infotainment systems that use QNX as their operating system. Part II describes five different file formats that are commonly used on mobile devices. · SQLite is nearly omnipresent in mobile devices with an overwhelming majority of all mobile applications storing their data in such databases. · The second leading file format in the mobile world are Property Lists, which are predominantly found on Apple devices. · Java Serialization is a popular technique for storing object states in the Java programming language. Mobile application (app) developers very often resort to this technique to make their application state persistent. · The Realm database format has emerged over recent years as a possible successor to the now ageing SQLite format and has begun to appear as part of some modern applications on mobile devices. · Protocol Buffers provide a format for taking compiled data and serializing it by turning it into bytes represented in decimal values, which is a technique commonly used in mobile devices. The aim of this book is to act as a knowledge base and reference guide for digital forensic practitioners who need knowledge about a specific file system or file format. It is also hoped to provide useful insight and knowledge for students or other aspiring professionals who want to work within the field of digital forensics. The book is written with the assumption that the reader will have some existing knowledge and understanding about computers, mobile devices, file systems and file formats.

    Description: Die in diesem Open-Access-Buch zusammengeführten interdisziplinären Untersuchungen des „Forums Privatheit“ gehen der Frage nach, wie sich die Verwirklichungsbedingungen von Privatheit und Selbstbestimmung durch die Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche radikal ändern. Nahezu jede Lebensregung hinterlässt Datenspuren, ermöglicht vielfältige und intensive Datensammlungen über Menschen, unterstützt Verhaltensbeeinflussungen und verstärkt Ungleichgewichte in der Informationsmacht. Es analysiert die Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf den rechtlichen und politischen Schutz der Grundrechte, die ökonomischen Beziehungen, die gesellschaftliche Integration und die individuelle Entfaltung. Das Buch zeigt aber auch auf, wie Digitalisierung und ihre gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen technisch, sozial, ökonomisch und rechtlich gestaltet werden können, um Privatheit und Selbstbestimmung zu schützen.

    Chapter 8 Painful Experience and Constitution of the Intersubjective Self (2022)
    Springer Nature | Phenomenology of Bioethics
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: In this paper, we discuss how phenomenology might cogently express the way painful experiences are layered with complex intersubjective meaning. In particular, we propose a critical conception of pain as an intricate multi-levelled phenomenon, deeply ingrained in the constitution of one’s sense of bodily self and emerging from a web of intercorporeal, social, cultural, and political relations. In the first section, we review and critique some conceptual accounts of pain. Then, we explore how pain is involved in complex ways with modalities of pleasure and displeasure, enacted personal meaning, and contexts of empathy or shame. We aim to show why a phenomenology of pain must acknowledge the richness and diversity of peculiar painful experiences. The second section then weaves these critical insights into Husserlian phenomenology of embodiment, sensation, and localisation. We introduce the distinction between Body-Object and Lived-Body to show how pain presents intersubjectively (e.g. from a patient to a clinician). Furthermore, we stress that,while pain seems to take amarginal position inHusserl’s whole corpus, its role is central in the transcendental constitution of the Lived-Body, interacting with the personal, interpersonal, and intersubjective levels of experiential constitution. Taking a critical-phenomenological perspective,wethen concretely explore how some peoplemay experience structural conditions whichmay make their experiences more or less painful.

    Description: Les Éditions du Cerf comptent dans le paysage éditorial français, et pas seulement dans le domaine de l’édition religieuse. Fondées en 1929 par deux religieux dominicains dans le prolongement du succès de la revue La Vie Spirituelle, elles ont rapidement acquis, par leurs périodiques et par leurs livres, une réputation enviable dans l’aile marchante de l’Église de France : mouvement ecclésiologique (collection « Unam Sanctam » du père Congar) ; mouvement biblique (Bible dite de Jérusalem) ; mouvement patristique (collection « Sources chrétiennes ») ; mouvement liturgique (revue La Maison-Dieu) ; mouvement théologique (collection « Cogitatio Fidei »). Elles ont été ainsi un des vecteurs majeurs en France de l’aggiornamento conciliaire voulu par Jean XXIII. Mais leur histoire n’a pas été un long fleuve tranquille : les Éditions du Cerf ont traversé bien des orages du fait de leurs positions d’ouverture sur les grandes crises du xxe siècle : condamnation par Rome de l’Action française, guerre d’Espagne, Seconde Guerre mondiale, guerre froide ou guerre d’Algérie. C’est ce parcours mouvementé, conjuguant histoire générale et histoire religieuse, que retrace ce livre, rédigé de première main par un universitaire familier de tels événements, avec les archives des provinces dominicaines françaises. Il éclaire tout un pan de l’histoire du catholicisme en France au xxe siècle.

    50 Years World Heritage Convention: Shared Responsibility – Conflict & Reconciliation (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-10-15
    Description: This open access book identifies various forms of heritage destruction and analyses their causes. It proposes strategies for avoiding and solving conflicts, based on integrating heritage into the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It reflects on the identity-building role of heritage, on multidimensional conflicts and the destruction of heritage, and considers conflict-solving strategies and future perspectives. Furthermore, it engages theoretically and practically with the concepts of responsibility, reconciliation and sustainability, relating mainly to four Sustainable Development Goals, i.e. SDGs 4 (education), 11 (e.g. World Heritage), 13 (climate action) and 17 (partnerships for the goals). More than 160 countries have inscribed properties on the UNESCO World Heritage list since the World Heritage Convention came into force. Improvements in the implementation of the Convention, such as the Global Strategy for a Representative, Balanced and Credible World Heritage List, have occurred, but other conflicts have not been solved. The book advocates for a balanced distribution of properties and more effective strategies to represent the global diversity of cultural and natural heritage. Furthermore it highlights the importance of heritage in identity building.

    Trends und Determinanten sozialer Probleme in reichen Ländern (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird untersucht, warum sich wohlhabende Gesellschaften merklich im Ausmaß sozialer Probleme wie z. B. Kriminalität oder mangelnde Wahlbeteiligung unterscheiden. In einer makrosoziologischen Untersuchung von 40 wohlhabenden Ländern über den Zeitraum 1990 bis 2020 werden neben der im Forschungsfeld dominierenden Spirit-Level-Theorie, welche auf Einkommensungleichheit fokussiert, vier alternative Erklärungsansätze herangezogen: Wohlstand, ethnische Fraktionalisierung, soziales Misstrauen und das gesellschaftliche Werteklima. In den Ergebnissen der Quer- und Längsschnittanalysen zeigt sich kein Beleg für einen zentralen Erklärungsmechanismus. Vielmehr beeinflussen verschiedene Determinanten bestimmte soziale Probleme unterschiedlich stark, wobei sich Unterschiede im Wohlstandsniveau als stärkster Prädiktor herausstellen. Die Studie zeigt somit, dass die Gestaltung einer guten Gesellschaft nicht allein eine Frage der Einkommensverteilung ist.

    Bullying im Klassenverband – doch nicht nur in der Schule (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Das vorliegende Open-Access-Buch befasst sich mit den Fragen, welche Rollen Klassenmitglieder bei Bullying einnehmen und durch welche sozial-kognitiven und affektiven Reaktionen sie sich auszeichnen. Bei Bullying handelt es sich um aggressives Verhalten, das sich über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg systematisch gegen schwächere Mitglieder einer Gruppe richtet. Bullying ist dementsprechend als Gruppenphänomen zu verstehen, das unter anderem häufig in Schulklassen auftritt. Die vorliegende empirische Arbeit berücksichtigt sowohl Bullying im schulischen Kontext als auch Bullying mittels digitaler Medien – also Cyberbullying. Grundannahme ist, dass sich Bullying im Klassenverband heutzutage auch in den Cyberspace erstreckt. Neben Täter- und Opfer-Rolle wird zwischen drei Bystander-Rollen differenziert: Verstärker, Verteidiger und Außenstehende. Der Vergleich zwischen diesen Rollen zeigt, dass sich unter Kontrolle von Geschlecht und Klassenstufe insbesondere Verteidiger- und Täter-Rolle in Hinblick auf Empathie, Moral Disengagement, Verantwortungsgefühl und Selbstwirksamkeitserwartungen unterscheiden, es jedoch wider Erwarten keine Unterschiede zwischen den Bystander-Rollen bezüglich Befürchtungen gibt.

    Ethics, Integrity and Policymaking (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-11-19
    Description: This Open Access book provides illustrative case studies that explore various research and innovation topics that raise challenges requiring ethical reflection and careful policymaking responses. The cases highlight diverse ethical challenges and provide lessons for the various options available for policymaking. Cases are drawn from many fields, including artificial intelligence, space science, energy, data protection, professional research practice and pandemic planning. Case studies are particularly helpful with ethical issues to provide crucial context. This book reflects the ambiguity of ethical dilemmas in contemporary policymaking. Analyses reflect current debates where consensus has not yet been achieved. These cases illustrate key points made throughout the PRO-RES EU-funded project from which they arise: that ethical judgement is a fluid enterprise, where values, principles and standards must constantly adjust to new situations, new events and new research developments. This book is an indispensable aid to policymaking that addresses, and/or uses evidence from, novel research developments.

    Les fronts intérieurs européens (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Globalement, la question de l’arrière a été relativement peu mobilisée de manière transversale et transnationale par une historiographie de la Grande Guerre longtemps assez indifférente à cet « autre front ». Si les mobilisations militaires ont été largement étudiées, celles propres aux sociétés civiles européennes traversées par la guerre constituent en revanche encore un champ à la fois très vaste et partiellement défriché : comment, loin du front, dans une Europe déchirée par la guerre, les populations ont-elles réussi à s’adapter à un quotidien complètement bouleversé ? Quelles ont été les formes et les degrés de leurs mobilisations ou de leurs résistances ? C’est à ces questions que le présent ouvrage entend répondre en articulant quatre thématiques principales jusqu’à présent assez peu abordées dans un cadre européen, emboîtant les échelles nationales régionales, départementales voire villageoises. Les aspects économiques sont ainsi essentiels à la compréhension d’un conflit qui s’appuie comme jamais auparavant sur des productions de masse reconfigurant le cadre productif. L’encadrement des individus par les initiatives privées ou étatiques contribue de manière décisive à la mobilisation dans la durée des populations civiles. Par ailleurs, le croisement des expériences rurales et citadines, dans des espaces encore mal connus, met en lumière des acteurs locaux pris entre les pratiques ordinaires et l’extraordinaire du temps de guerre. Enfin, l’étude de la construction et de l’hybridation des identités et des représentations à l’arrière permet une relecture neuve des expériences vécues du conflit.

    Smittestopp − A Case Study on Digital Contact Tracing (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This open access book describes Smittestopp, the first Norwegian system for digital contact tracing of Covid-19 infections, which was developed in March and early April 2020. The system was deployed after five weeks of development and was active for a little more than two months, when a drop in infection levels in Norway and privacy concerns led to shutting it down. The intention of this book is twofold. First, it reports on the design choices made in the development phase. Second, as one of the only systems in the world that collected population data into a central database and which was used for an entire population, we can share experience on how the design choices impacted the system's operation. By sharing lessons learned and the challenges faced during the development and deployment of the technology, we hope that this book can be a valuable guide for experts from different domains, such as big data collection and analysis, application development, and deployment in a national population, as well as digital tracing.

    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This open access book explores the role of religion in England's overseas companies and the formation of English governmental identity abroad in the seventeenth century. Drawing on research into the Virginia, East India, Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, New England and Levant Companies, it offers a comparative global assessment of the inextricable links between the formation of English overseas government and various models of religious governance across England's emerging colonial empire. While these approaches to governance varied from company to company, each sought to regulate the behaviour of their personnel, as well as the numerous communities and faiths which fell within their jurisdiction. This book provides a crucial reassessment of the seventeenth-century foundations of British imperial governance.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Ce livre est une introduction à la pensée de Kendall L. Walton autant qu’il en est un commentaire critique. Il présente le concept de faire-semblant en tant que l’héritier du concept antique de mimêsis en philosophie de la représentation. Il aborde la théorie du grand livre de Walton en la confrontant à la théorie des systèmes symboliques de Nelson Goodman, son adversaire historique. Il retrace sa parenté à la philosophie du « comme si » de Hans Vaihinger. Il confond les critiques récentes de Gregory Currie, Peter Lamarque, Stacie Friend ou Derek Matravers. Le propos est, ainsi, de dépeindre de manière systématique la philosophie de Walton dans un paysage de philosophie contemporaine et, dans une moindre mesure, sur fond d’étendues d’histoire de la philosophie. Kendall L. Walton est l’un des plus importants philosophes de l’art et esthéticiens de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Son maître-ouvrage, Mimesis as Make-Believe, eut une grande influence, encore prégnante à cette heure, dans le monde analytique.

    Description: This Open Access book provides a comprehensive review of the rapidly developing esport phenomenon by examining one of its contemporary flagship titles, Overwatch (Blizzard Entertainment 2016), through three central themes and from a rich variety of research methods and perspectives. As a game with more than 40 million individual players, an annual international World Cup, and a franchised professional league with teams from Canada, China, Europe, South Korea, and the US, Overwatch provides a multifaceted perspective to the cultural, social, and economic topics associated with the development of esports, which has begun to attract attention from both commercial and academic audiences. The book starts with an introduction chapter to Overwatch and esports engagement in general, co-authored by the editors. This is followed by 15 unique chapters from scholars within the field of game cultures and esports, representing ten different nationalities. The contributions construct thematic sections that divide the book into three parts: Players, Diverse Audiences? and Fan & Fiction Work. As such, the parts provide a wide-ranging overview of esport engagement, thus disclosing the phenomenon’s cross-cultural, transmedial, and interconnected relations that have not been probed earlier in a single anthology.

    Les espaces de construction des inégalités éducatives (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-01
    Description: Si les inégalités éducatives sont l’objet d’une abondante littérature scientifique depuis les années 1960, la publication depuis 2000 de résultats d’enquêtes internationales telles PISA montre la permanence de cette question. Elle est au cœur des débats sur l’éducation auxquels cet ouvrage veut contribuer avec une triple originalité : la prise en compte de l’espace pour analyser ces inégalités ; une appréhension large de la notion d’éducation, quand les inégalités éducatives sont souvent abordées sous l’angle de la différenciation des cursus scolaires ; une approche pluridisciplinaire qui permet de saisir la complexité des processus à l’œuvre dans la production des inégalités. Les contributions montrent que les expériences éducatives des enfants et des adolescents dépendent de leurs conditions sociales et, plus largement, des dimensions géographique, politique, culturelle et symbolique des espaces qui constituent leur quotidien. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux chercheurs, aux étudiants, aux décideurs, aux professionnels de l’éducation, aux parents, et à tout lecteur désireux de mieux comprendre les parcours éducatifs en France, avec en particulier la prise en compte de la dimension spatiale encore peu connue.

    Rethinking Secular Time in Victorian England (2022)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This open access book draws on conceptual resources ranging from medieval scholasticism to postmodern theory to propose a new understanding of secular time and its mediation in nineteenth-century technological networks. Untethering the concept of secularity from questions of ‘religion’ and ‘belief’, it offers an innovative rethinking of the history of secularisation that will appeal to students, scholars, and everyone interested in secularity, Victorian culture, the history of technology, and the temporalities of modernity.

    Les embellissements d’Aix et de Marseille (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La France du « Grand Siècle » est notamment connue pour l’extraordinaire mouvement d’embellissement qui toucha de nombreuses villes jusqu’à la fin de l’Ancien Régime. L’épanouissement de ce phénomène urbain sous le règne de Louis XIV a tôt fait de le faire assimiler au volontarisme politique du monarque absolu. Cette interprétation longtemps vivace a eu pour effet de passer sous silence l’action décisive des populations, des habitants des villes eux-mêmes, face à ces aménagements urbains. À partir des embellissements qu’ont connus les villes d’Aix et de Marseille au milieu du xviie siècle, cet ouvrage permet de revenir sur ces événements qui ont profondément marqué l’organisation de nos villes. En reléguant au second plan les aspects architecturaux et monumentaux de ces accroissements d’ampleur, pour se concentrer sur les processus juridiques et sociaux qui encadrent et accompagnent ces opérations urbaines, ce livre éclaire sous un jour nouveau l’action des habitants les plus divers dans ces projets. À partir d’un éventail documentaire particulièrement varié, ce sont plus largement les modes de production de l’espace des sociétés anciennes qui se trouvent mis en lumière. Du marché des échanges de biens immobiliers et fonciers aux appareils de pouvoir en charge de l’administration des territoires urbains, en passant par l’économie et les chantiers de construction, cette étude permet de mieux cerner la manière dont s’articulaient les logiques individuelles et les pratiques collectives dans la gestion et l’administration de ces « villes en train de se faire ».

    European Language Grid (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book provides an in-depth description of the EU project European Language Grid (ELG). Its motivation lies in the fact that Europe is a multilingual society with 24 official European Union Member State languages and dozens of additional languages including regional and minority languages. The only meaningful way to enable multilingualism and to benefit from this rich linguistic heritage is through Language Technologies (LT) including Natural Language Processing (NLP), Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Speech Technologies and language-centric Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. The European Language Grid provides a single umbrella platform for the European LT community, including research and industry, effectively functioning as a virtual home, marketplace, showroom, and deployment centre for all services, tools, resources, products and organisations active in the field. Today the ELG cloud platform already offers access to more than 13,000 language processing tools and language resources. It enables all stakeholders to deposit, upload and deploy their technologies and datasets. The platform also supports the long-term objective of establishing digital language equality in Europe by 2030 – to create a situation in which all European languages enjoy equal technological support. This is the very first book dedicated to Language Technology and NLP platforms. Cloud technology has only recently matured enough to make the development of a platform like ELG feasible on a larger scale. The book comprehensively describes the results of the ELG project. Following an introduction, the content is divided into four main parts: (I) ELG Cloud Platform; (II) ELG Inventory of Technologies and Resources; (III) ELG Community and Initiative; and (IV) ELG Open Calls and Pilot Projects.

    Anthropological Perspectives on Environmental Communication (2022)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-16
    Description: In the continuous search for sustainability, the exchange of diverse perspectives, assumptions, and values is indispensable to environmental protection. Through anthropological and ethnographic analyses, this collection addresses how interests, values, and ideologies affect dialogue and sustainability work. Drawing on studies from three continents – Europe, North America, and South America – the paradoxes and the plurality of meanings associated with the creation of sustainable futures are explored. The book focuses on how communication practices collide with organizational frameworks, customary practices, livelihoods, and landscape. In so doing, the authors explore the meanings of environmental communication, pushing beyond environmental advocacy rhetoric to emphasize stronger anthropological engagement within communities to achieve more impactful environmental communication practice. Empirically the book’s chapters explore a diverse set of issues, ranging from coastal management in the European north to Native American place naming in Alaska. They further share findings from studies of contaminated land remediation in Sweden, conflicts over water resources in Chile, management of heritage and national parks in Northern Arizona, and cultural transmission in Slovakia. This is an open access book.

    Metalearning (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book as one of the fastest-growing areas of research in machine learning, metalearning studies principled methods to obtain efficient models and solutions by adapting machine learning and data mining processes. This adaptation usually exploits information from past experience on other tasks and the adaptive processes can involve machine learning approaches. As a related area to metalearning and a hot topic currently, automated machine learning (AutoML) is concerned with automating the machine learning processes. Metalearning and AutoML can help AI learn to control the application of different learning methods and acquire new solutions faster without unnecessary interventions from the user. This book offers a comprehensive and thorough introduction to almost all aspects of metalearning and AutoML, covering the basic concepts and architecture, evaluation, datasets, hyperparameter optimization, ensembles and workflows, and also how this knowledge can be used to select, combine, compose, adapt and configure both algorithms and models to yield faster and better solutions to data mining and data science problems. It can thus help developers to develop systems that can improve themselves through experience. This book is a substantial update of the first edition published in 2009. It includes 18 chapters, more than twice as much as the previous version. This enabled the authors to cover the most relevant topics in more depth and incorporate the overview of recent research in the respective area. The book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the areas of machine learning, data mining, data science and artificial intelligence. ; Metalearning is the study of principled methods that exploit metaknowledge to obtain efficient models and solutions by adapting machine learning and data mining processes. While the variety of machine learning and data mining techniques now available can, in principle, provide good model solutions, a methodology is still needed to guide the search for the most appropriate model in an efficient way. Metalearning provides one such methodology that allows systems to become more effective through experience. This book discusses several approaches to obtaining knowledge concerning the performance of machine learning and data mining algorithms. It shows how this knowledge can be reused to select, combine, compose and adapt both algorithms and models to yield faster, more effective solutions to data mining problems. It can thus help developers improve their algorithms and also develop learning systems that can improve themselves. The book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the areas of machine learning, data mining and artificial intelligence.

    Corporate Diplomacy: How Multinational Corporations Gain Organizational Legitimacy (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-09-22
    Description: This Open-Access book investigates corporate diplomacy as a legitimation strategy of multinational companies in the United Arab Emirates. The author applies a neo-institutional public relations perspective, according to which societal expectations significantly shape corporate diplomacy communication. Using a multi-method research design, the author shows how corporate diplomacy is used in the host country, what role local media coverage and relationship management fulfill, and what effects corporate diplomacy has on corporate legitimacy in the host country community, i.e., UAE residents. The findings provide substantial insights into how multinational corporations seek legitimacy through corporate diplomacy and demonstrate how these efforts and the legitimation of corporations are affected by the media and the host country's public.

    Figure (2022)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-11-19
    Description: This open access book shows how figures, figuring, and configuration are used to understand complex, contemporary problems. Figures are images, numbers, diagrams, data and datasets, turns-of-phrase, and representations. Contributors reflect on the history of figures as they have transformed disciplines and fields of study, and how methods of figuring and configuring have been integral to practices of description, computation, creation, criticism and political action. They do this by following figures across fields of social science, medicine, art, literature, media, politics, philosophy, history, anthropology, and science and technology studies. Readers will encounter figures as various as Je Suis Charlie, #MeToo, social media personae, gardeners, asthmatic children, systems configuration management and cloud computing – all demonstrate the methodological utility and contemporary relevance of thinking with figures. This book serves as a critical guide to a world of figures and a creative invitation to “go figure!”

    Japan’s Peacekeeping at a Crossroads (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-15
    Description: This open access book examines why Japan discontinued its quarter-century history of troop contribution to UN Peacekeeping Operations (1992–2017). Japan had deployed its troops as UN peacekeepers since 1992, albeit under a constitutional limit on weapons use. Japan’s peacekeepers began to focus on engineering work as its strength, while also trying to relax the constraints on weapons use, although to a minimal extent. In 2017, however, Japan suddenly withdrew its engineering corps from South Sudan, and has contributed no troops since then. Why? The book argues that Japan could not match the increasing “robustness” of recent peacekeeping operations and has begun to seek a new direction, such as capacity-building support.

    The Sanitation Triangle (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer Singapore
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This open access book deals with global sanitation, where SDG 6.2 sets a target of enabling access to sanitation services for all, but has not yet been achieved in low- and middle-income countries. The transition from the United Nations MDGs to the SDGs requires more consideration based on the socio-cultural aspects of global sanitation. In other words, equitable sanitation for those in vulnerable situations could be based on socio-cultural contexts. Sanitation is a system that comprises not only a latrine but also the works for the treatment and disposal of human waste. Sanitation systems do not function by themselves but have significance only through social management. The process of decision-making also largely depends on socio-cultural conditions, and the importance of sanitation needs to be socially acknowledged. The health benefits of sanitation improvement—among the significant contributions of sanitation—also need to be considered in the socio-cultural milieu. Further, the social-culture itself is affected, and potentially even created, by sanitation. In this context, more progress on the improvement of sanitation requires a more holistic approach across disciplines. In this book, we present the concept of the Sanitation Triangle, which considers the interconnections of health, materials, and socio-culture in sanitation, as a holistic approach, and the case studies based on the Sanitation Triangle by diverse disciplines such as Cultural Anthropology, Development Studies, Health Sciences, Engineering, and Science Communication. By the deep theoretical examinations and inter-dialogues between the different disciplines, this book explores the potentialities of inter-disciplinary studies on global sanitation.

    Constitutional Change in the European Union (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-09-22
    Description: Europe’s future is contested between those who want to integrate further, those who prefer things to stay as they are, and those who would retreat into nationalism. These divisions impair the government of the European Union and weaken its ability to shoulder more responsibility for its unstable neighbourhood. This open access book analyses the EU’s evolving constitution, arguing that the lack of effective federal government lies at the heart of its problems. It recommends reforms for each EU institution, including those involving treaty change. It makes the case for a unified executive, a more legitimate legislature, and the introduction of a federal treasury and supreme court. It proposes a fresh category of affiliate membership underpinned by a new European security council that would overcome the historic division between the EU and NATO. The book is essential reading for practitioners and students of European integration.

    S’entreprendre avec ses gènes (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-01
    Description: Depuis le lancement du programme de séquençage du génome humain, le développement continu des technologies et des langages génétiques a fait émerger une riche littérature au croisement de la sociologie, de l’anthropologie et de la philosophie s’interrogeant sur la place grandissante acquise par le gène dans nos sociétés. Si la notion de génétisation s’y est imposée comme schème interprétatif critique des processus en jeu, celle-ci se voit aujourd’hui en partie dépassée consécutivement au développement de nouvelles modalités de diffusion des technologies génétiques. L’apparition d’une offre d’autotests génétiques par le biais d’Internet laisse en effet apparaître une autonomisation de la dynamique de génétisation au sein de la société, soit l’émergence d’une auto-génétisation à l’heure où la génomique en vient à se pratiquer en version Do-It-Yourself. Sur la base d’une enquête par observations ethnographiques de divers espaces numériques et d’entretiens, il ressort que des publics grandissants se voient désormais acquis à l’intérêt qu’il y aurait à s’orienter vers les gènes pour pouvoir se constituer un « capital santé » ou un « capital généalogique ». Au cœur de cette dynamique où le génétique en vient à englober des domaines en expansion, touchant tout autant à la santé qu’à la construction de l’identité, la génétisation n’apparaît plus seulement comme une opération de nature intellectuelle conduisant à valoriser le rôle des gènes face aux facteurs dits d’environnement, mais aussi et surtout comme une entreprise pratique au cours de laquelle l’individu en vient à se tourner vers ses gènes pour faire face à un environnement devenu incertain.

    La gloire de La Tour d’Auvergne (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Comme des milliers de braves des armées tricolores entre 1792 et 1815, Théophile-Malo Corret de La Tour d’Auvergne est mort au champ d’honneur. Mais « premier grenadier des armées de la République », il fit partie de ceux qui se virent décerner la qualité de héros. Réputé comme savant et admiré pour ses vertus de son vivant même, il n’était pas, c’est vrai, un soldat commun. Ce livre ne consiste pas en une biographie du célébré. Son objet est sa célébration même, depuis la Révolution française jusqu’à la Grande Guerre. Pour cela, parmi les outils fournis par les sciences sociales il manie plus spécialement celui de l’admiration. Ainsi nous comprenons pourquoi la gloire du « petit héros » La Tour d’Auvergne n’a cessé de grandir durant tout le xixe siècle. Héros célébré par la « grande patrie », comme par sa « petite patrie », et par son régiment, La Tour d’Auvergne est aussi un cas à partir duquel la construction nationale à l’œuvre peut se voir et se comprendre. Ce cas permet également de décrire le phénomène social de l’admiration, si prégnant que la société dans laquelle il se développa est ici qualifiée de « société d’admiration ». La Tour d’Auvergne est aujourd’hui bien oublié. L’ouvrage cherche donc enfin à comprendre comment et pourquoi l’admiration pour les héros s’est amoindrie, a cessé, voire a transformé certains modèles d’hier en repoussoirs à déboulonner.

    From Digital Twins to Digital Selves and Beyond (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book aims at deepening the understanding of the relation between cyber-physical systems (CPSs) as socio-technical systems and their digital representations with intertwined artificial intelligence (AI). The authors describe why it is crucial for digital selves to be able to develop emotional behavior and why a humanity-inspired AI is necessary so that humans and humanoids can coexist. The introductory chapter describes major milestones in computer science which form the basis for the implementation of digital twins and digital selves. The subsequent Part I then lays the foundation to develop a socio-technical understanding of the nature of digital twins as representations and trans-human development objects. Following the conceptual understanding of digital twins and how they could be engineered according to cognitive and organizational structures, Part II forms the groundwork for understanding social behavior and its modeling. It discusses various perception-based socio-emotional approaches before sketching behavior-relevant models and their simulation capabilities. In particular, it is shown how emotions can substantially influence the collective behavior of artificial actors. Part III eventually presents a symbiosis showing under which preconditions digital selves might construct and produce digital twins as integrated design elements in trans-human ecosystems. The chapters in this part are dedicated to opportunities and modes of co-creating reflective socio-trans-human systems based on digital twin models, exploring mutual control and continuous development. The final epilog is congenitally speculative in its nature by presenting thoughts on future developments of artificial life in computational substrates. The book is written for researchers and professionals in areas like cyber-physical systems, robotics, social simulation or systems engineering, interested to take a speculative look into the future of digital twins and autonomous agents. It also touches upon philosophical aspects of digital twins, digital selves and humanoids.

    Publication Date: 2022-09-22
    Description: In diesem Open.Access-Buch wird gezeigt, dass eine verminderte Fähigkeit zur Simultanerfassung eine Ursache von Rechenschwäche sein kann. Mathematische Lernschwierigkeiten offenbaren sich häufig schon im frühen Grundschulunterricht. Die gängigen Lernmaterialien im mathematischen Anfangsunterricht verwenden zur Mengendarstellung die Kraft der Fünf, die für betroffene Schüler*innen eine besondere Hürde darstellt. In einem Educational Design Research-Projekt wurde gemeinsam mit Personen mit Trisomie 21, dem Down-Syndrom, das mathildr-System entwickelt. Das System eignet sich in der Binnendifferenzierung als Alternative zur Kraft der Fünf und kann zur Entwicklung einer Mengenvorstellung und zum Erlernen des Kopfrechnens verwendet werden. In einer formativen Evaluation wurden die Lernfortschritte von 30 Schüler*innen mit Trisomie 21 im Alter von vier bis 17 Jahren im Zusammenhang mit dem mathildr-System dokumentiert. Ein abschließendes Quasi-Experiment mit 36 Schüler*innen mit Trisomie 21 zeigt zudem, dass sich mathildr zur quasi-simultanen Mengenerfassung eignet. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes wurden Lernmaterialien entwickelt, die Einzug an Schulen gehalten haben.

    Description: « Cli-en-té-lis-me », le mot est ancien, dure et perdure. Mais de quoi parle-t-on au juste? « Je connais tel élu et il a le bras long, il pourra me trouver une place à la mairie! » Si la phrase est courante, quelles réalités et quels fantasmes recouvre-t-elle précisément ? Alors que le phénomène du clientélisme a déjà fait l’objet de plusieurs études en sociologie et sciences politiques, cette pratique originale a moins retenu l’attention des historiens du politique. Spécialiste de l’histoire politique française contemporaine, Julie Bour entend étudier les acteurs, causes, modalités et limites du clientélisme via une approche quantitative originale et inédite, reposant sur l’exploitation statistique de corpus importants de courriers de recommandation, dépassant parfois les milliers de lettres entre les élus et leurs administrés et portant sur des dossiers sensibles, symboliques ou plus prosaïques (emplois, décorations, service militaire, aide sociale, affaires communales, etc.). Elle concentre son analyse sur un espace test particulier qui est celui de la Lorraine et l’appréhende sur le temps long qui va de la IIIe République aux années 2000. Au travers d’études de cas portant sur des élus célèbres (Louis Jacquinot, Pierre Messmer, François Guillaume, Christian Pierret) ou plus anonymes (Jean Bernard, Jules Develle, André Savard) qui représentent l’ensemble des courants politiques, le clientélisme apparaît pour ce qu’il est réellement : une pratique très répandue (et non limité à un Sud méditerranéen arriéré), qui structure la vie politique locale, mobilise tout un réseau d’intercesseurs relais, crée des solidarités fines entre l’élu et les électeurs, et joue un rôle parfois déterminant dans l’élection et la longévité politique de certains parlementaires. Cette pratique, ancrée sur la durée, institutionnalisée au point d’être déculpabilisée, interroge la démocratie dans ses limites en termes de corruption et de clientélisme.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Il y a près d’un siècle, les premières réunions de la Jeunesse ouvrière chrétienne française se tenaient à Lille. Assemblés autour d’un prêtre, de jeunes hommes s’engageaient pour rendre aux ouvriers leur fierté et leur apporter la foi. Bien vite se sont organisées des associations comparables pour les jeunes garçons et filles issus d’autres catégories sociales. Ces mouvements n’ont pas permis la rechristianisation espérée, mais ils sont devenus de formidables vecteurs d’éducation populaire ; ils ont bouleversé la vie de plusieurs générations de militants et ont formé nombre de cadres pour la société et pour l’Église. Cette dernière contrôlait et appuyait cette mobilisation des laïcs, qu’elle appelait « Action catholique spécialisée ». Mais ce terme traduit-il vraiment la diversité des expériences vécues à la base ? Et comment expliquer l’épuisement de ce dispositif si performant jusqu’aux Trente Glorieuses ? Comment ces bouleversements ont-ils été vécus ? Où les énergies et les convictions sociales, politiques et religieuses se sont-elles ensuite réinvesties ? En abordant ces questions, cet ouvrage – qui mêle les analyses scientifiques aux témoignages d’anciens militants et aumôniers – permet de mieux comprendre les profondes mutations de la société française, du militantisme et du christianisme.

    Education for Sustaining Peace through Historical Memory (2022)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-16
    Description: Informed by the author’s long-standing work on violent conflict, peace and education in countries of the Global South, particularly Colombia, this open access book presents a comprehensive narrative about the relationship between peace education, historical memory and the sustaining peace agenda, advocating for the adoption of a new perspective on education for sustaining peace through historical memory. Education on and for peace in countries wrestling with, or emerging from, protracted violent conflict is up against major challenges, and both conventional and critical approaches to peace education are limited to address these. Incorporating a focus on historical memory, without losing sight of its own pitfalls, into peace education can support learners and teachers to come to grips with achieving positive, peace-sustaining change at both the micro (individual) and macro (social and institutional) levels, and to develop concepts and practices of effective and legitimate alternatives to violence and war. Conceived in these terms, historical memory-oriented peace education also stands to enhance the work-in-progress that is the UN-led sustaining peace agenda, including its Sustainable Development Goals.

    La politique à l’épreuve des émotions (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Il y a, dans la prolifération d’événements dramatiques, dans l’exposition des souffrances subies lors de conflits, mais aussi dans les images de liesse populaire ou les larmes de joie de vainqueurs des urnes, une diffusion inédite des émotions dans la sphère publique et politique. Cette diffusion comporte un risque de banalisation que l’on éprouve également tous les jours. Cet ouvrage refuse deux fois une telle banalisation. La première, par le désir d’en faire un objet d’étude, c’est-à-dire d’en spécifier les propriétés distinctives. La seconde, par la volonté d’en cerner et d’en suivre les mécanismes, à l’épreuve de plusieurs disciplines, parmi lesquelles, dans le creuset qu’est la science politique, la sociologie, l’anthropologie, l’histoire, la musicologie, l’histoire de l’art. Que sont et que font les émotions en politique ? Vingt-sept coauteurs sont ici réunis pour en débattre, en proposer les illustrations, les limites, les orientations disciplinaires. Volontairement courts et centrés sur leur thèse principale, les vingt-deux chapitres sont répartis en trois dimensions. La première traite des émotions au prisme du politique, autour d’événements et de territoires. La deuxième envisage le politique au risque des émotions, où elles sont clairement associées à des dispositifs de sensibilisation ou émergeant, de façon plus inattendue, d’univers qu’on aurait pu croire ceux de la répression de tout sentiment. La troisième se veut un carrefour disciplinaire, où sont explicités les enjeux de méthode et les perspectives d’échange.

    Droplet Dynamics Under Extreme Ambient Conditions (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: This open access book presents the main results of the Collaborative Research Center SFB-TRR 75, which spanned the period from 2010 to 2022. Scientists from a variety of disciplines, ranging from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and electrical engineering to chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and visualization, worked together toward the overarching goal of SFB-TRR 75, to gain a deep physical understanding of fundamental droplet processes, especially those that occur under extreme ambient conditions. These are, for example, near critical thermodynamic conditions, processes at very low temperatures, under the influence of strong electric fields, or in situations with extreme gradients of boundary conditions. The fundamental understanding is a prerequisite for the prediction and optimisation of engineering systems with droplets and sprays, as well as for the prediction of droplet-related phenomena in nature. The book includes results from experimental investigations as well as new analytical and numerical descriptions on different spatial and temporal scales. The contents of the book have been organised according to methodological fundamentals, phenomena associated with free single drops, drop clusters and sprays, and drop and spray phenomena involving wall interactions.

    Publication Date: 2022-11-19
    Description: This open access book is the product of three years of academic research that has been carried out in the EU-funded Jean Monnet Network on “Post-Truth Politics, Nationalism and the Delegitimation of European Integration” since 2019. Drawing on the multidisciplinary expertise of the network’s members, the book explores the impact of the phenomenon of post-truth politics on European integration and the European Union. It places particular emphasis on how post-truth politics has played out in the public sphere and asks what impact the phenomenon has had on public deliberation, but reflects also on its implications for democracy in a wider sense. This book is primarily written for audiences with an interest in politics and policy making, including academics, policy makers and civil-society actors. Thanks to its accessible style, the book should however also be an asset to wider audiences.

    Integrating Science and Politics for Public Health (2022)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-06-21
    Description: This open access book bridges the divide between political science and public health, whilst simultaneously embracing the complexities and differences of both. Although public health is inherently political, the tools and insights of political science are often ignored in public health scholarship. Bringing together academics and researchers working at the intersection of both, the book demonstrates how integrating these fields can help reconcile the roles of politics and scientific evidence in policymaking. It also highlights the key conceptual, methodological and substantive implications for bridging this divide, and charts a path forward for a movement towards political science with public health. It will be of interest to academics, researchers and students interested in public health, political science, public policy, and the role of scientific evidence in policymaking.

    Le pouvoir des fondations (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-01
    Description: Les fondations politiques allemandes, les plus riches et les plus actives en Europe, servent souvent de référence à leurs homologues et aux think tanks d'autres pays. Marquées par le contexte de la guerre froide, ces fondations ont commencé par s'implanter en Afrique et en Amérique Latine pour y combattre « les influences communistes » avant de se redéployer en Asie, en Europe et Outre-Atlantique. Proches des partis politiques représentés au Bundestag, elles entretiennent un dialogue informel avec les élites d'une centaine de pays. Cultivant une image d'organisations indépendantes, voire privées, les fondations politiques sont pourtant financées quasi-exclusivement sur fonds publics. Cet ouvrage retrace la genèse de ces organisations paradiplomatiques et leurs stratégies d'internationalisation à travers leur engagement en Europe centrale et, plus particulièrement, en Pologne. Il analyse la manière dont les fondations, grâce à leur double ancrage dans le champ politique allemand et celui de l'action publique extérieure, sont devenues des acteurs majeurs de la politique étrangère. Reposant sur une vaste enquête – 140 entretiens et de nombreuses archives inédites – l'ouvrage apporte un éclairage nouveau sur la politique étrangère allemande, l'assistance internationale à la démocratisation, la coopération transnationale des partis et l'élargissement de l'Union européenne.

    Publication Date: 2022-03-16
    Description: This open access book will contribute to a more nuanced debate around seed system resilience that goes beyond the dominant dichotomous conceptualization of seed governance often characterized as traditional vs modern, subsistence vs commercial, or local vs global. While reflecting on the expanding oligopoly in the current seed system, the authors argue that such classifications limit our ability to critically reflect on and acknowledge the diverse approaches through which seed governance is practiced around the world, at various scales, creating a mosaic of dynamic complementarities and autonomies. The authors also highlight the importance of this much needed dialogue through case studies of seed governance approaches and practices found in and around Japan.

    Description: Il est devenu inhabituel dans la philosophie contemporaine de faire appel à Dieu, à la nature humaine créée, à l’âme, à la finalité de toutes choses et à celle de l’homme en particulier. C’est pourtant ce que tente ce livre : une métaphysique de l’art et de la vie esthétique dans une tradition réaliste et religieuse. Cette métaphysique est adossée à deux idées principales. 1) L’art et la vie esthétique sont un aspect de la réalisation, par l’homme, de sa propre nature rationnelle. 2) Par son âme rationnelle, l’homme participe autant qu’il est possible à l’esprit le plus élevé : celui de Dieu duquel dépendent toutes choses. L’art et la vie esthétique sont ainsi des formes du désir naturel de Dieu - telle est la thèse que ce livre entend défendre.

    L’Antiquité écarlate (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Le sang est une substance à laquelle on prête de nombreux pouvoirs. Fluide biologique, réalité concrète de la vie qui palpite ou s’enfuit, plus ou moins épais, visqueux ou translucide, il est porteur de tout un imaginaire que les Anciens ont interrogé durant l’Antiquité gréco-romaine. Du sang du crime à celui du combat, du sacrifice à la mort du martyr, de la magie à la cuisine, un univers rouge semble ressortir de cette Antiquité fantasmée. Marqué du sceau de l’ambivalence, il a quelque chose de magique : porteur de vie et de mort, le sang signe les saisons du corps féminin et annonce la mort quand il sourd de la blessure du guerrier : il est le baromètre de la vie qui dit aussi la parenté. Clé de compréhension des cultures antiques, considéré au travers d’un large cadre géographique et chronologique, le sang offre une lecture tant historique qu’anthropologique des corps. Plusieurs dimensions ont été retenues : les pouvoirs du sang réels ou supposés, le sang vecteur de communication, le sang communautaire qui dit la filiation et l’appartenance du groupe et enfin la violence qui le fait couler. C’est une histoire du sensible qui est menée ici par le liquide biologique vital, par la couleur, celle du sang rouge ou noir, de la pourpre. C’est aussi une histoire sociale car, par le sang c’est la transmission, la descendance et la filiation, la souillure, la pureté, les rites que l’on observe ; c’est encore une histoire de la guerre, du crime et de la justice.

    La Technologie générale (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: La technologie désigne bien souvent les « nouvelles technologies » et les « technosciences » qui réduisent la technique aux applications de la science. Pourtant, au xixe siècle, la technologie revêt un autre sens, celui d’une science de la technique, c’est-à-dire d’une science des arts et des intentions fabricatrices. Le caméralisme a joué un rôle fondamental dans l’édification de cette discipline dont l’un des textes fondateurs est l’Entwurf der algemeinen Technologie de Johann Beckmann (1806). Dans cet essai, Beckmann propose une science nouvelle, la technologie générale, qui classe les activités humaines par opérations. Maintes fois cité et jamais traduit, il fallait rendre disponible en français ce texte essentiel, qui a ouvert la voie à une compréhension générale de l’action et à la philosophie des techniques. Tous ceux qui s’intéressent aux savoirs de l’action trouveront chez Beckmann la tentative la plus aboutie de formalisation du geste comme unité fondamentale de l’activité humaine. Pour la première fois, l’Entwurf der algemeinen Technologie a fait l’objet d’une traduction menée par le regretté Joost Mertens, avec la collaboration de Guillaume Carnino et de Jochen Hoock. À l’occasion de cette publication et afin d’approfondir la réflexion sur le creuset européen de la technologie, une analyse est proposée au fil d’articles qui accompagnent la traduction. L’enjeu est d’une part d’étudier un milieu savant à travers sa formation, ses activités, ses techniques intellectuelles et d’autre part, d’interroger les résonances de la technologie.

    « Les Péruviens auparavant nommés Indiens » (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: En 1821, au lendemain de la proclamation d’Indépendance du Pérou, San Martín déclarait que ceux que l’on appelait « Indiens » à l’époque coloniale espagnole ne devaient plus être désignés que comme « Péruviens » car ils devenaient citoyens au même titre que les Blancs et les métis. Quelques décennies plus tard, la guerre du Pacifique (1879-1883), véritable désastre pour le Pérou, fut cependant interprétée comme la preuve de l’échec de l’intégration nationale, générant de nouveaux débats sur la place des Indiens dans la société péruvienne. Cet ouvrage analyse la façon dont furent perçues les populations autochtones andines par les élites créoles entre 1821 et 1879, période charnière, et pourtant peu connue, entre la pensée coloniale et les courants indigénistes de la fin du xixe et du début du xxe siècle. Il propose une histoire culturelle des représentations à partir de la législation, des discours politiques, de la presse, de divers essais, d’œuvres littéraires et de l’iconographie. Ces sources révèlent toute l’ambiguïté de ces discours et visent à mieux comprendre les fondements de la nation péruvienne encore aujourd’hui.

    Description: Riche de ses quinze études originales, le présent volume se propose d'avancer la connaissance des collections (phénomène éditorial essentiel aux xxie et xxe siècles qui a façonné, en particulier, les pratiques d'achat et de lecture du grand public), ainsi que de leur rôle dans la construction des sociétés contemporaines. Chacune à sa manière, les différentes contributions étudient l'objet collection, non seulement en tant qu'artéfact, ou objet emblématique d'une nouvelle consommation culturelle, mais aussi en tant que fait de société à part entière. Adoptant une perspective spatio-temporelle résolument large qui embrasse trois siècles, les articles étudient des cas européens (France, Espagne, Italie, Suisse, Belgique) aussi bien qu'américains (Canada, Argentine). Dans sa démarche, ce volume se veut avant tout comparatiste, donnant ainsi au lecteur une vision horizontale des transferts et de la circulation des modèles éditoriaux. Les différents points de vue adoptés pour appréhender la collection sont une autre force de ce volume. En mobilisant une documentation abondante et variée, les auteurs se penchent notamment sur le rôle des différents acteurs associés au processus de création et de diffusion (auteurs, directeurs de collection, éditeurs, lecteurs, traducteurs), sur les enjeux matériels et économiques sous-jacents à tout projet éditorial ou bien encore proposent une approche thématique, la collection contribuant à structurer le savoir dans un domaine de connaissance donné (littérature, histoire, sciences, médecine…). Parce qu'au fil des pages sont également abordés, en filigrane, les changements culturels majeurs qui ont conduit à la démocratisation de la culture et à la culture de masse, cet ouvrage devrait retenir l'attention des spécialistes du sujet, mais aussi des professionnels de la culture et de l'édition de plus en plus interpellés par l'avenir du livre dans un marché éditorial mondialisé.

    Publication Date: 2022-11-19
    Description: This open access book presents the exciting research results of the BMBF funded project iCity carried out at University of Applied Science Stuttgart to help cities to become more liveable, intelligent and sustainable, to become a LIScity. The research has been pursued with industry partners and NGOs from 2017 to 2020. A LIScity is increasingly digitally networked, uses resources efficiently, and implements intelligent mobility concepts. It guarantees the supply of its grid-bound infrastructure with a high proportion of renewable energy. Intelligent cities are increasingly human-centered, integrative, and flexible, thus placing the well-being of the citizens at the center of developments to increase the quality of life. The articles in this book cover research aimed to meet these criteria. The book covers research in the fields of energy (i.e. algorithms for heating and energy storage systems, simulation programs for thermal local heating supply, runtime optimization of combined heat and power (CHP), natural ventilation), mobility (i.e. charging distribution and deep learning, innovative emission-friendly mobility, routing apps, zero-emission urban logistics, augmented reality, artificial intelligence for individual route planning, mobility behavior), information platforms (i.e. 3DCity models in city planning: sunny places visualization, augmented reality for windy cities, internet of things (IoT) monitoring to visualize device performance, storing and visualizing dynamic energy data of smart cities), and buildings and city planning (i.e. sound insulation of sustainable facades and balconies, multi-camera mobile systems for inspection of tunnels, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) as active façade elements, common space, the building envelopes potential in smart sustainable cities).
