À travers une analyse minutieuse du fonctionnement du circuit d’échange du blé et des différents contextes qui servent à l’expliquer, l’auteur montre comment les autorités pontificales du XVIe et du XVIIe siècle bâtissent et gèrent un système commercial spécifique, dont la logique repose sur une conception particulière de l’économie et de la société. La théologie morale des scolastiques, avec l’élaboration de la notion centrale de « juste prix », constitue le cadre théorique fondamental pris en compte pour saisir la rationalité d’institutions qui, comme les Annones d’Ancien Régime, ont été trop vite et trop souvent assimilées à des simples entraves à la libre expression des forces de marché. Le modèle romain d’« économie morale » ici proposé apporte ainsi une contribution au débat général, tant des historiens que des anthropologues, concernant les caractéristiques des économies pré-classiques et les outils analytiques pertinents pour leur interprétation.

This book examines the economic relationship between Africa and Europe. It highlights the stigmatized narratives about Africa and analyses how they influence a range of key actors and processes. This is illustrated by the actions of European actors who reinforce negative narratives through replacing real economic transformation and development with charity, while African leaders compete to maximize aid donations and help further these narratives. This book acknowledges the complex history of the relations between Africa and Europe and details the ways in which Africa has become a peripheral player in the world economy. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in development and African economics. This is an open access book.

Cosa cambia nelle abitudini di lettura di chi sceglie di leggere un ebook? In che modo l’editoria affronta i cambiamenti che il digitale porta con sé? Qual è il ruolo del web nel determinare queste trasformazioni? A queste ed altre domande un gruppo di undici book bloggers, riuniti in occasione di LibrInnovando 2011, tenta di rispondere in questo libro. A partire da un’idea di Marco Giacomello, gli autori offrono riflessioni e ricerche originali, utili tanto al lettore incuriosito dalle possibilità della lettura digitale quanto al professionista – l’editore, l’autore, il libraio – che si trova a vivere i mutamenti dell’editoria. Ma se cambiano i libri, cambia anche il modo di fare e diffondere cultura in Italia: l’ebook apre nuove possibilità di condivisione e socializzazione del sapere, che bisogna, criticamente, saper cogliere. Questo volume, parlando senza eccessivi tecnicismi e sempre con un profondo rispetto del lettore, sviluppa alcuni punti nodali e indica delle strade percorribili.

L'expression « relations communautaires » est couramment utilisée pour désigner les relations sociales entre les catholiques et les protestants d'Irlande du Nord. La désignation peut surprendre : on sait que la ségrégation et les tensions n'ont pas cessé, malgré les avancées politiques réalisées en faveur de la paix, et la signature de l'Accord dit du Vendredi Saint le 10 avril 1998. Cet ouvrage s'interroge sur ce qui se cache derrière ces contradictions apparentes. Il décrit d'abord les esp...

Vecteur majeur des dynamiques sociales du monde contemporain, la mobilité est aujourd’hui l’un des concepts les mieux partagés en sciences humaines et sociales. Cet ouvrage thématise la mobilité, ainsi que d’autres concepts liés, comme la circulation, la globalisation, le projet migratoire, la mobilité étudiante, en les éclairant du point de vue géographique, sociologique, sociolinguistique et sémiologique. On se focalise sur les mouvements migratoires observés dans l’espace francophone (Maghreb, France, Canada), en particulier au départ de l’Algérie. Quels outils méthodologiques et théoriques permettent de caractériser les mobilités contemporaines ? Quels sont les apports des sciences humaines et sociales dans la manière de les appréhender ? De quelle manière les mobilités langagières sont-elles imbriquées aux mobilités géographiques et sociales ? Dès lors, quelles dynamiques et reconfigurations identitaires observe-t-on chez l’étudiant en mobilité ? L’ouvrage s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme scientifique CEM, « Dynamiques spatiales, langagières, identitaires, de la circulation migratoire étudiante » (Maghreb, France et Canada) porté par des chercheures en sciences du langage Anne-Sophie Calinon, Nathalie Thamin (université Bourgogne Franche-Comté) et Katja Ploog (université d’Orléans) en collaboration avec Mohammed Zakaria Ali-Bencherif et Azzeddine Mahieddine (université de Tlemcen, Algérie).

Beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s, significant numbers of Haitian immigrants began to arrive and settle in Miami. Overcoming some of the most foreboding obstacles ever to face immigrants in America, they, their children, and now their grandchildren, as well as more recently arriving immigrants from Haiti, have diversified socioeconomically. Together, they have made South Florida home to the largest population of native-born Haitians and diasporic Haitians outside of the Caribbean and one of the most significant Caribbean immigrant communities in the world. Religion has played a central role in making all of this happen. Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith is a historical and ethnographic study of Haitian religion in immigrant communities, based on fieldwork in both Miami and Haiti, as well as extensive archival research. Where many studies of Haitian religion limit themselves to one faith, Rey and Stepick explore Catholicism, Protestantism, and Vodou in conversation with one another, suggesting that despite the differences between these practices, the three faiths ultimately create a sense of unity, fulfillment, and self-worth in Haitian communities. This meticulously researched and vibrantly written book contributes to the growing body of literature on religion among new immigrants, as well as providing a rich exploration of Haitian faith communities.

In September 2004, the first class of the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture of the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, a 5-year university course in 5 years, co-organized by three institutions of the French of the French Community of Belgium, the University Faculty of the University Faculty of Agronomic Sciences of Gembloux, the Haute École Charlemagne (I.S.I. Gembloux and Huy) and the ʼInstitut Supérieur d ʼArchitecture La Cambre Brussels. Lʼenseignement de l ʼarchitecture du paysage en French-speaking Belgium is however not new, it has a long tradition. even already has a long tradition. And the ancient training of the Gembloux graduate school is recognized, mainly l ʼétranger mais reste insuf fisamment connue en Belgium. It is in this context that a one-day seminar was organized on October 13, 2004. 2004, a study day entitled "Conversations Conversations on Landscape 2004", the first biennial meeting of the landscape.

On the other hand, according to the European Landscape Convention of Florence 2000 to which the Walloon Region has adhered since the Walloon Region joined in December 2001, landscape management of landscapes requires us to move beyond the scale of parks and parks and gardens to consider the whole range of objectives of the of the Convention, namely, to manage, protect and develop landscapes. ger landscapes. It is therefore now necessary for the landscape disciplines to converse, to know each other and to recognize each other. In this perspective, the second and the second and major part of the interventions opens the debate between the disciplines and professions of landscape, with presentation of exemplary cases stimulating the common reflection. This issue of the "Colloquia" series publishes the papers presented at the 2004 Landscape Conversations day.

Politics begins with people assembling. An inquiry into types and functions of assemblies is therefore an inquiry into one of the most fundamental questions of political theory. In the present volume, that question is applied to traditions from the Hebrew Bible and New Testament and their cultural contexts. Politik beginnt damit und lebt elementar davon, dass sich Menschen versammeln. Daher ist die Frage nach Typen und Funktionen von Versammlungen eine Grundfrage der politischen Theorie. Der vorliegende Band richtet diese Frage an Überlieferungen aus dem Alten und Neuen Testament und ihren Umwelten. Die exegetischen, religionsgeschichtlichen, historischen und archäologischen Beiträge versuchen nicht nur politische Handlungsweisen zu rekonstruieren, sondern darüber hinaus deren Konzeption und theoretische Reflexion. Diese Frage versteht sich keineswegs von selbst, sondern impliziert für den hier hauptsächlich in den Blick gefassten Bereich der Levante – anders als für Griechenland, wo das Politische und mithin auch politische Theorie nach herkömmlicher Überzeugung entstanden sind – eine zu bewährende Arbeitshypothese.

This open access book examines how selected African American authors—Colson Whitehead, Edward P. Jones, Toni Morrison, Brit Bennett, Percival Everett, Maurice Carlos Ruffin, Sherri L. Smith, and N.K. Jemisin—narrate relationships between emotion, race, and space. On the one hand, they bear witness to the structural production of Black emotional pain at the confluence of racial and spatial discrimination. On the other hand, they reveal meaningful and subversive interlinkages between Black emotional experiences and Black spatial practices. Weaving together insights from psychology, narrative theory, African American studies, affect theory, and Black Geographies, Marijana Mikić interrogates fear, hope, shame, guilt, anger, and grief in relation to the racial-geographic projects of slavery, Jim Crow segregation, and their continued legacies. Mikić draws attention to the narrative strategies contemporary African American authors employ to prompt their readers’ engagement with both the pain and the possibility that continues to shape Black lives in the twenty-first century.
