"Mondialisation", "choc des civilisations", "sans-papiers", "fracture sociale", "devoir de mémoire", "développement durable", "malbouffe"... Toutes ces expressions (et bien d’autres) peuvent être envisagées comme des formules : à un moment de l’histoire, elles s’imposent à la fois comme des passages obligés des discours et comme des objets polémiques dans l’espace public. Elles condensent des enjeux politiques et sociaux. Elles cristallisent le débat. Elles mettent en place des évidences et des questionnements. Dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage propose un cadre théorique et méthodologique pour comprendre et étudier de tels faits discursifs. La présentation du cadre théorique permet de situer la notion de formule dans ses fondements conceptuels. Les éléments de méthode proposent au lecteur des catégories d’analyse et des critères pour étudier sur corpus telle ou telle formule déterminée. Ce livre est destiné à des étudiants et à des enseignants-chercheurs de différentes disciplines qui souhaitent soumettre à l’analyse du discours les réalités politiques et sociales dont ils se saisissent. Plus largement, ce livre retiendra l’attention de tous ceux qui aspirent à porter un regard critique sur les discours dominants. Ces derniers, faut-il le préciser, ne se comprennent pas sans les contre-discours qui se donnent à voir comme des alternatives ou des contradictions.

Der sich vom 16. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert vollziehende Übergang der weitgehend lateinbasierten europäischen Gelehrtenkultur zu einem vernakulär-mehrsprachigen „modernen“ Wissenschaftssystem ist bislang für den deutschen Sprachraum nur bruchstückhaft beschrieben worden. Der vorliegende, von einer Greifswalder Tagung angeregte Sammelband führt verschiedene Zugänge zusammen und konturiert damit erstmals ein disziplinenübergreifendes Forschungsfeld „Historische Gelehrten- und Wissenschaftssprachen“. In Beiträgen aus der germanistischen Sprachgeschichte, der Universitäts- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte, der klassischen Philologie und der Literaturwissenschaft werden zentrale Aspekte des akademischen Sprachenwechsels, der zunehmenden Etablierung der Volkssprache an den Universitäten und der Sprachenwahl im wissenschaftlichen Handlungsfeld thematisiert. Der Band bildet dabei den Auftakt zu einer neuen Publikationsreihe, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, die Geschichte der lingua academica seit der Frühen Neuzeit zu untersuchen.

Este libro está compuesto por seis capítulos, cada uno de los cuales aborda un período particular de la historia política argentina. Poseen el común denominador de ocuparse de la conmemoración de la Revolución de Mayo de 1810, vista a través de periódicos impresos. Es así que el lector encontrará a los autores trabajando tanto con La Gaceta Mercantil, un periódico característico del siglo XIX,como con los diarios El Día o La Nación, de plena vigencia en la actualidad. ¿Existe una necesidad de conmemorar las fechas patrias? ¿Por qué y para qué se celebra una y otra vez, año tras año, un acontecimiento como el citado? Éstos son algunos de los interrogantes que intentan responder los autores. Todos ellos pertenecen al equipo interdisciplinario que desarrolla un proyecto de Investigación en el marco del Programa de Incentivos a la Investigación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata.

This Element seeks to develop an empirical research agenda that explores the applicability of the growth model perspective in comparative political economy to emerging capitalist economies. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Within the current discussion on grammatical interfaces, the word-classes of adjective and adverb are of particular interest because they appear to be separated or joined in manifold ways at the level of word-class or syntax, with morphology playing a prominent role, especially in Romance. The volume provides typological and theoretical insights into the common or different usage of adjectives and adverbs in Romance. Diachronic change is discussed alongside with synchronic variation and the representation in grammar. The discussion turns out to be controversial, calling into question traditional assumptions such as the dogma of the invariability and the categorial status of the adverb.

Based on in-depth country case studies, this book offers a novel approach to the role of institutions in early development with special attention devoted to historical context, political constraints and state-business interaction.

“I am not Shemr, this is not a dagger, nor is this Karbala,” recites the arch-antagonist as a taʿziyeh performance begins. Verisimilitude is not the endeavour; this is a devotional offering that stirs lament for the the Shiʿi martyrs by representing events crucial to sacred history. But what does that retelling entail? Through study of four of its main episodes—from their long inter-female dialogues to the protagonists’ encounters with jinn, dervishes, and foreigners—this book explores the taʿziyeh repertoire’s compositional features. Combining a wide range of historical scripts, largely unpublished manuscripts, with witness accounts, it tracks the tradition’s development from Safavid to Qajar Iran asking, who were its contributors? And, how have they left their mark?

Ensayos de historiadores franceses que exploran nuevas corrientes temáticas, reflexionan acerca de la historiografía crítica y abren nuevas fuentes y preguntas, en un intento por restablecer la cadena pasado-presente que observe los cambios, las permanencias y las diferentes reacciones de los individuos frente a un mismo asunto, ya sea de religión, vestido, libro, ciudad, arte de gobernar, producción de artefactos, etc.

Solar System Planets and Exoplanets provides a current viewpoint of planetary systems. The solar system’s planets and exoplanets are addressed in an overview manner, and specific space probe data are used to provide a current state of knowledge of Venus and Mars. Recent Mars data and associated observations are addressed in several chapters. Of particular interest are data that suggest the possibility that life could have existed on the planet’s surface during its past when Mars’ atmosphere was wetter and denser. The search for life on Mars is one of the main objectives of space missions, and it is an ongoing theme of this book. Key to the existence of life is the evolution of the radiation output of the Sun that is discussed and projected into the future. Space probe data related to the Asteroid Belt is also presented. Technological advances in terms of operating aircraft on Mars and propulsion systems provide useful commentary regarding future innovations that will enhance upcoming space missions and the search for life.

Advances and Applications in Mobile Computing offers guidelines on how mobile software services can be used in order to simplify the mobile users' life. The main contribution of this book is enhancing mobile software application development stages as analysis, design, development and test. Also, recent mobile network technologies such as algorithms, decreasing energy consumption in mobile network, and fault tolerance in distributed mobile computing are the main concern of the first section. In the mobile software life cycle section, the chapter on human computer interaction discusses mobile device handset design strategies, following the chapters on mobile application testing strategies. The last section, mobile applications as service, covers different mobile solutions and different application sectors.

The use of 3D modelling in practices of valorisation and dissemination of historic-architectural knowledge and restoration is now consolidated. Virtual models must, however, match principles of scientific rigour, comprehensibility and evaluability by the users, as stated in the London Charter and in the Seville Principles. This paper aims at presenting the methodology used in the virtual reconstruction of some drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, developed to ensure the correct dissemination of the historical contents delivered through the drafting of a ‘traceability card’ compliant with the international Charters principles.

This dissertation contributes to practice-ethnographic educational research and focuses on the phenomenon of subjectivation through performance assessment. It examines alternative assessment practices in secondary school classrooms that aim to evaluate performance without grades in order to promote individual learning development. Using the practice ethnographic approach, the unintended power effects of these assessment practices are analysed. Using four different assessment practices, power dynamics and self-relations of students and teachers are examined to understand how these practices influence the formation of self-relations and how an assessment regime is unfolded in the classroom by processing an increasing responsibiliation of students for performance. The study emphasises the importance of a differentiated investigation of assessment practices and concludes with an outlook on possible future research approaches.
