Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.

Au mieux, une définition nous apprend que le réel est ce qui précède le langage. Celui-ci invente le réel. Depuis le structuralisme, au moins, les sciences humaines, face à cette situation, s'y résignent de manière implicite ou explicite. Le réel n'est plus : il est définitivement enfoui sous la triple détermination de la culture, de l'histoire, de l'idéologie. Pourtant, certains contemporains — artistes, écrivains, penseurs — tentent de ressusciter le réel. L'entreprise est nécessairement te...

Comment la pensée de Marx, encore largement ignorée parmi les intellectuels français des années 1920, a-t-elle pu s’imposer comme « la philosophie indépassable de notre temps », selon la célèbre formule de Sartre ? Rendre compte de ce renversement est la visée de ce livre qui propose une enquête de sociologie historique sur les milieux intellectuels philo-soviétiques de l’entre-deux-guerres. En croisant les archives internationales du communisme et les archives des sciences françaises, Isabelle Gouarné analyse ici les ressorts et les modalités de l’engagement en faveur de la Russie nouvelle, et aussi ses effets sur les pratiques de recherche et les courants de pensée. Par les circulations d’idées et les confrontations qu’elle a entraînées dans les années 1930, cette rencontre politico-intellectuelle a abouti, en effet, à de nouvelles lectures de Marx et Engels. Le marxisme fut alors défini comme la version moderne du rationalisme cartésien, devenant ainsi un véritable pôle d’attraction auquel s’associèrent des intellectuels d’horizons divers (Georges Friedmann, André-Georges Haudricourt, André Varagnac, Alexandre Kojève, par exemple), et même, un temps, les directeurs des Annales, Marc Bloch et surtout Lucien Febvre. C’est donc bien sous cette forme rationaliste que la pensée de Marx est venue nourrir les traditions philosophiques et les sciences de l’homme françaises, en quête dans l’entre-deux-guerres d’un nouveau paradigme unificateur, après la dispersion de l’école durkheimienne.

Progressive aging of the Baby Boomer generation, early workplace withdrawals and international trends towards longevity place increasing pressure on governments to provide economic solutions. One possibility involves promoting financial self-sufficiency and shifting responsibility from governments back to individuals. This involves, in part, promoting the abolishment of mandatory retirement ages and devising strategies to keep people at work for longer. At an individual level choosing how and when to transition can deliver psychological benefits while continuing to work provides opportunities to remain socially and intellectually connected. There are also obvious economic benefits for disadvantaged groups such as women, immigrants and less qualified workers who may be ill equipped to retire comfortably. When combined these sufficiently motivate the pursuit of solutions that overcome constraints and encourage later life employment. There are, however, two sets of competing demands, namely balancing the desire and economic demand to work longer within current contemporary workplace designs and the cognitive, physical and psychological capacities of workers to fulfill these demands indefinitely. The study of the psychological mechanisms that underlie economic behavior may increase our understanding of how bridge employment opportunities, flexible work schedules, training to move to new careers, and starting new business and franchisees might result in higher proportions of older workers remaining in the labor market. Such an approach is expected to lead to a better understanding of employer attitudes and responses to older workers with innovative workplace and human factors that encourage more years of labor force participation.

Les écosystèmes côtiers, qui concentrent actuellement 70 % de la population mondiale, sont particulièrement impactés par le changement climatique et les activités anthropiques. D’où les espoirs placés dans la création d’aires marines protégées (AMP), qui favorisent la résilience des systèmes vivants et la conservation des espèces. Au cours des dernières années, un véritable consensus international s’est progressivement imposé quant à l’intérêt de les multiplier. Cependant, de nombreuses incertitudes demeurent sur leur efficacité réelle et sur les modalités de leur mise en œuvre. Les enjeux sociétaux qui sont associés à la multiplication des AMP interrogent les scientifiques, notamment en termes d’acceptation sociale, de régulation juridique et de pérennité des dispositifs mis en place. Ainsi, entre soutien au développement des AMP et analyse des controverses dont elles font parfois l’objet, cet ouvrage apporte un éclairage interdisciplinaire sur le développement de ces nouveaux espaces de conservation. Les études présentées ici sont centrées sur l’Afrique du Nord-Ouest (Algérie, Maroc et Sénégal). À travers le regard de juristes, d’écologues, de géographes, d’économistes, elles illustrent le potentiel associé à ce mode de conservation des zones marines et côtières. Elles questionnent par ailleurs l’efficience des AMP, tout en soulignant leur intérêt, bien au-delà des territoires où elles se situent.

L'histoire du Viet-Nam colonial est relativement mal connue, surtout pour ses débuts. Il convenait donc de faire le point des connaissances sur la question et d'esquisser des pistes de réflexions et de recherches, jusque-là masquées par la proximité de l'événement. Le premier demi-siècle du contact colonial franco-vietnamien est marqué tout d'abord par une phase de conquête fort violente (de 1858 à 1898) où s'affrontent un pays asiatique dont des guerres civiles récentes ont provoqué un repli...

Le Guide des sources de l'histoire du Brésil aux Archives du ministère français des Affaires étrangères présente un tableau détaillé des ressources qu'offrent les Archives diplomatiques pour l'étude des relations entre la France et le Brésil du XVIe siècle à 1955. Il insiste sur les nouvelles séries récemment reclassées et ouvertes au public ou en cours de reclassement comme les archives rapatriées de l'ambassade et des consulats de France au Brésil.

Il Re Lear di William Shakespeare andato in scena al Teatro Ebraico di Stato di Mosca (Goset) nel 1935 è un episodio fondamentale quanto poco conosciuto della cultura del Novecento. Gli attoriautori del Goset, in particolare Solomon Michoels nella magistrale interpretazione del vecchio re e Veniamin Zuskin, un Fool straordinario, guidati dal regista Sergej Radlov, realizzarono uno spettacolo da porre al vertice dell’arte scenica e attorica yiddish nella sua versione sovietica. In queste pagine si propone ai lettori di oggi la ricostruzione e l’analisi di una messinscena che ci permette di riflettere su un atto creativo e poetico talmente potente, per quanto basato su un “classico” inoffensivo, da innescare la feroce reazione del regime stalinista. L’esito della vicenda qui raccontata fu tragico, ma “rivedere” e riflettere su questa peculiare messinscena del testo shakespeariano permette di cogliere a distanza di tanti anni la straordinaria vitalità e attualità del “mistero del teatro”. In appendice è presentato per la prima volta in traduzione italiana il testo di Solomon Michoels Il mio lavoro sul “Re Lear” di Shakespeare, testimonianza di una cultura teatrale che a un secolo di distanza sembra prefigurare un teatro poetico ancora da venire.

The debate about to what extent the comedia nueva can and should be modified for the contemporary scene has always been very lively. In order to understand the different positions about this issue, I study the work of the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico by analyzing four versions of two different comedies, El perro del hortelano and El burlador de Sevilla, with the aim of finding out how the different adapters have worked and the way they have proceeded over time.

This book is devoted to research topics in quantum entanglement at the energy frontier of particle and nuclear physics, and important interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues from fields outside of physics. A non-exhaustive list of examples of the latter can include mathematics, computer science, social sciences, philosophy, and how physics can interact with them in a way that supports successful outcomes. These are exciting times in the field of quantum information science, with new research results and their applications in society exhibiting themselves rather frequently. But what is even more exciting is that the frequency of these new results and their applications increases with a rapidity that will motivate new methods, new theories, new experiments, and new collaborations outside of the field that future researchers will find quite challenging.

Autorki podjęły się analizy ważnego i nietracącego na aktualności tematu, jakim jest organizacja systemu opieki nad dzieckiem przebywającym w pieczy zastępczej (…). Praca jest cenna z kilku powodów. Opisuje procesy realizacji zasady dobra dziecka pozbawionego opieki i wsparcia osób najbliższych. Po drugie, lokuje ten proces na poziomie lokalnym, na którym zgodnie z zasadą pomocniczości wsparcie to powinno być systemowo organizowane. Wreszcie, działania dedykowane dziecku i rodzinie w środowisku lokalnym, analizuje w ramach procesu deinstytucjonalizacji, którego celem jest przechodzenie od opieki instytucjonalnej do rodzinnej (….). Inną ważną zaletę recenzowanej książki – stanowi pieczołowicie i przekrojowo przeprowadzona diagnoza skali instytucjonalizacji pieczy zastępczej w województwie łódzkim (…). Autorki odnosząc się do danych liczbowych demaskują kluczowe problemy systemu opieki zastępczej nad dzieckiem, wsparcia rodziny i przebiegu procesu deinstytucjonalizacji. Publikacja została opracowana w ramach projektu „Plan Realizacji Działań w ramach PT RPO WŁ na lata 2014-2020 na rok 2020”, podprojektu pn. „Funkcjonowanie regionalnych obserwatoriów terytorialnych”, współfinansowanego przez Unię Europejską ze środków Europejskiego Funduszu Społecznego w ramach Regionalnego Programu Operacyjnego Województwa Łódzkiego na lata 2014-2020, Osi priorytetowej XII Pomoc Techniczna, Działania XII.2 System realizacji.

Originally published in 1980. The first section of The Novel-Machine consists of five short chapters that rewrite Autobiography as an undisguised theory of realistic fiction, exploring its paradoxes while placing it in the context of mid-Victorian criticism. Chapters 6 and 7 survey the manifestations in Trollope's novels of what his theory sets down as the primary difference of realism: its way of telling its readers how to read. Chapter 8 is a close reading of He Knew He Was Right, a neglected novel that, in Kendrick's estimation, deserves to stand in much higher critical esteem than it does. Kendrick shows how deeply woven into the texture of Trollope's writing the rhetoric of realism is. Kendrick's reading is a departure from the usual method of criticizing Trollope—surveying the whole of his work a novel at a time, saying a little about every novel and always too little about each.

Has the United States become more pluribus than unum? In terms of the nation's political beliefs, Robert Booth Fowler answers both yes and no. While his study affirms significant diversity among an elite cadre of public intellectuals, it vigorously denies it in a general public that collectively adheres to the same set of liberal core values.Enduring Liberalism pursues two objectives. One, it explores the political thought of public intellectuals and the general public since the 1960s. Two, it assesses contemporary and classic interpretations of American political thought in light of the study's findings.Fowler interprets the writings of public intellectuals like Robert Bellah, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Michael Walzer, William Bennett, Seymour Martin Lipset, William Galston, and others, as well as survey data of American political attitudes, to spotlight this oftignored divide between citizens and highprofile commentators, whose contentious debates are mistakenly assumed to reflect countrywide rifts.Fowler's argument is straightforward, but the interpretation is controversial. He recounts how the consensus liberal view in postWorld War II American political thought collapsed among public intellectuals during the tumult of the 1960s and remains so to this day. His book examines the resultant diversity among contemporary public intellectuals, focusing on three predominant themes: concern for community, worry about the environment, and interest in civil society. In marked contrast to these disputatious commentators, Fowler finds the realm of popular opinion to be characterized by much greater consensus. Indeed, there seems to be a trend toward an even more general embrace of the liberal values that characterize our attitudes toward the individual, individual liberty, political equality, economic opportunity, and consent of the governed. Liberal values—above all the celebration of the individual and individual rights—have revolutionized the socalled private realms of life like family and religious communities to an extent unimagined in the 1950s.From these conclusions, Fowler demonstrates that most interpretations of American political thinking have exaggerated the extent of conflict and diversity in our nation's often raucous policy disputes. But he also cautions us not to overstate the public's widely shared liberal values and, by doing so, miss opportunities to facilitate problem solving or to recognize the ways in which our reform efforts may be constrained.
