L'écrivain polémiste viennois Karl Kraus fit, au tournant du XXe siècle, un usage particulièrement varié de l´œuvre du dramaturge populaire viennois Johann Nestroy. Il s´agit d´un phénomène de réception intense, dont les enjeux théoriques sont d´un intérêt éminent : comment une œuvre longtemps cantonnée dans le domaine de la paralittérature a-t-elle pu être réévaluée et élevée au rang d´œuvre littéraire ? Tous ceux qui s´intéressent aux conditions dans lesquelles s´élabore l´histoire littéraire, avec son panthéon et ses parias, devraient trouver ici matière à réflexion. Si la lecture de Nestroy par Kraus constitue un phénomène très révélateur en matière d´histoire littéraire, elle concernera également les gens de théâtre, qui découvriront à la fois une partie des possibilités de représentation offertes par l´œuvre dramatique immense de Nestroy, encore trop méconnue en France, et la conception singulière du théâtre de Kraus, envisagée précisément via Nestroy.

Nūr ad-Dīn a joué un rôle central dans l’histoire de l’Orient musulman médiéval et même dans l’histoire mondiale. Ce prince, dont son contemporain Guillaume de Tyr disait qu’il était « vir providus et discretus, dux timens Deum », — homme avisé et remarquable, chef craignant Dieu, — et que Michelet considérait dans son Histoire des Croisades comme « un des saints de l’islamisme », Ernst Herzfeld le définissait ainsi : « Nūr ad-Dīn Maḥmūd b. Zengī b. Aq Sunqur, d’origine turque, prédécesseur d...

European politics has provided clear signals: the next round in the process of EU enlargement with the accession of the Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) will come. Since expectations concerning the costs and benefits of integration are varied, it is our aim to contribute to this discussion by undertaking an empirical assessment of integration. Firstly the extent of potential free labour mobility between the CEEC and the EU is assessed using an econometric model. On that basis, different integration scenarios, i.e. trade liberalisation, capital transfers and labour migration are simulated using a computable general equilibrium model. Our results suggest that migration flows will be moderate and that integration is likely to cause positive welfare effects in the CEEC and negligible effects in the EU.

The potential for climate change to cause vast human movement is a major global issue. Dominant approaches to climate-related migration take mobility as the starting point, exploring legal frameworks that tend to provide protection for migrants only after they move and overlooking measures that could help avoid forced movement in the first place. In contrast, Climate Change, Human Rights, and Adaptive Mobility provides a new conceptual and legal approach to human mobility in the context of climate change, one that seeks to compel and shape more proactive, anticipatory action. The book anchors its arguments in the international climate change regime, turning to obligations on adaptation found in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. These obligations, though understudied and underutilized, have the potential to be a powerful legal tool. The book therefore seeks to lend them concrete legal meaning. It draws on international climate change and human rights law to weave together doctrinal analysis that considers treaty interpretation, regime interaction, and principles of environmental law with case studies in Bangladesh, the Pacific Islands, and the Sahel. At its core, the book argues that adaptation obligations require states to take measures to address foreseeable risks and ensure human rights. It further argues that developed countries that have contributed most to climate change have legal duties to support others in adapting to its effects, adding a collective dimension to the problem of climate change and mobility.

Previous literature has highlighted the predominant use of qualitative research methods within the field of adult education. While a wide range of opportunities to exploit and gather large scale quantitative data are available, these avenues remain underexplored. The aims of this chapter are twofold. First, it familiarises readers with a range of datasets gathered through international survey programmes managed by International Governmental Organisations. Examples include the European Commission’s Adult Education Survey, the OECD’s Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), UNESCO’s Literacy and Assessment Programme (LAMP) and the World Bank’s STEP Skills Measurement Programme. It links the existence of these survey programmes to a wider debate on the use of benchmarks and indicators underpinning data-driven policy approaches. Second, it discusses examples of the application of novel and innovative methods that have been used to capture lifelong learning data in real-world projects. It highlights the work undertaken by the University of Glasgow’s Urban Big Data Centre, and zooms in on research undertaken within the Integrated Multimedia City Data (iMCD) project. Its work is being discussed against wider developments in relation to the use of ‘big data’ in the social sciences. Throughout the chapter, we reference the limitations of large survey and innovative data work, such as issues relating to privacy and the difficulties in including hard-to-reach groups. We focus on cooperative work in interdisciplinary teams with colleagues from varying methodological backgrounds who can contribute to projects underpinned by triangulation to provide comprehensive answers to relevant research questions.

The French missionary-linguist Émile Petitot (1838–1916) spent twenty years near the Arctic Circle in Canada, publishing numerous works on First Nations languages and practices. Over time, however, he descended into delirium and began to summon imaginary persecutions, pen improbable interpretations of his Indigenous hosts, and burst into schizoid fury. Delving into thousands of pages in letters and memoirs that Petitot left behind, Pierre Déléage has reconstructed the missionary’s tragic story. He takes us on a gripping journey into the illogic and hyperlogic of a mind entranced with Indigenous peoples against the backdrop of repressive church policies and the emergent social sciences of the nineteenth century. Apocalyptic visions from the Bible and prophetic movements among First Nations peoples merged in the missionary’s deteriorating psyche, triggering paroxysms of violence against his colleagues and himself. Whoever wishes to understand the contradictions of living between radically different societies will find this anthropological novella hard to put down.

Flexibility has become a watchword in modern education, but its implementation is by no means a straightforward matter. Flexible Pedagogy, Flexible Practice sheds light on the often taken-for-granted assumptions that inform daily practice and examines the institutional dynamics that help and hinder efforts towards flexibility. The collection is international in scope, drawing on the experience of specialists in distance education from North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, and Japan. Contributors to the volume were asked to reflect candidly and critically on questions that include: •What precisely is flexible learning? •Who or what is driving the flexibility agenda, and for whose benefit? And •who or what is resisting it? •What challenges must be overcome in order to achieve flexibility, and what are some of the compromises it can entail? In addressing these and other issues, the authors offer a wealth of theoretical insights and a frank assessment of their practical experience. Their report from the trenches will be invaluable to anyone seeking to broaden the reach of higher education. “Essentially, the book is about what happens when the canonical concept collides with the ‘rough terrains of practice,’ and in addressing this question, it succeeds admirably. . . . And there’s more – much more – from the thirty-three contributors, in addition to the insightful ‘wrap-around’ provided by the editors. . . . Your thinking will be both challenged and informed.” —David Murphy (read the rest of the review at David Murphy’s Occasional Blog)

This open access book is the first published guide about how to analyse data produced by the EQ-5D, one of the most widely used Patient Reported Outcomes questionnaires world wide. The authors provide practical, clear and comprehensive guidance in five concise chapters. Following an overview of the EQ-5D and its analysis, we describe how the questionnaire data – the EQ-5D profile and EQ VAS – can be analysed in different ways to generate important insights into peoples’ health. We then show how the value sets which accompany the EQ-5D can be applied to summarise patients’ data. The final chapter deals with advanced topics, including the use of Minimally Important Differences, case-mix adjustment, mapping, and more. This book is essential for those new to analyzing EQ-5D data and will be also be valuable for those with more experience. The methods can be applied to any EQ-5D instrument (for example, the three- and five-level and Youth versions) and many of the methods described will be equally relevant to other Patient Reported Outcomes instruments. ; This book provides the first guidance for users of the EQ-5D, a widely used measure of patient reported health around the world, on how to analyse data Provides detailed and comprehensive guidance on methods for analysing and reporting EQ-5D data The book is accompanied by code, in R, SPSS, STATA and SAS to allow users to implement the methods on their own data The book is accompanied by a slide deck, for use by instructors wishing to teach the methods

This book collects a series of interdisciplinary contributions about Historical Ecology, Archeology and Biocultural Landscapes focused on the analysis of landscape dynamics during the Long Anthropocene. Through case studies across Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia and America, the volume offers a series of examples of approaches and applications to combine and stimulate an interdisciplinary debate between Natural Science and Humanities for understanding long-term human–environment interaction and historical sustainability.

The project School-In was an in-service professional development project which aimed to improve inclusion and facilitate schools' academic results by taking the local context, expectation structures, and school culture into consideration. This intervention project was based on a systemic approach and designed to include the entire teaching staff, ensuring cross-disciplinary and cross-level impact. Conducted in five Norwegian municipalities, School-In was financed by the Research Council of Norway (NFR) as an innovation project for the public sector. This book gives a detailed overview of the project School-In, documenting its research and intervention methods. It provides stakeholders, educational researchers, and practitioners with information about the make-up of the study. In this book, School-In is presented as an example of how new ideas and knowledge can be gained from several research approaches and readers are given specific examples of how development processes may be conducted and investigated in schools.

This volume examines boundaries in approaches to inclusion research in educational science: How are boundaries created, methodologically and methodologically processed, softened or even solidified in order to make research objects empirically ascertainable? The focus is on transdisciplinary and transnational research practices as well as self-reflexively on one's own research practice.

Comment les expériences du jeu et de l’écoute sont-elles impliquées dans l’écriture musicale des xxe et xxie siècles chez György Kurtág et Helmut Lachenmann, chez Luciano Berio, Anton Webern, Pierre Boulez, Fausto Romitelli et Olga Neuwirth ? Les réponses ici proposées passent par une esthétique du corps, de la sensation, du lien matière-signification, du devenir et du possible pour dégager non seulement de nouvelles catégories de l’écriture musicale mais aussi une conception ouverte de l’œuvre : une sensation en train de se faire, le devenir enchevêtré des trois actes constitutifs du musical – jouerécouterécrire.L’ouvrage fait ainsi apparaître l’idée selon laquelle la véritable matière de la musique n’est ni la note ni le son, mais le geste, c’est-à-dire un faire indissociable d’un affect, c’est-à-dire d’un sentir. Le propre de la musique c’est alors de faire sentir : quelque chose qui n’était pas perceptible jusque-là le devient – une brèche s’ouvre, celle d’un monde possible. Un geste musical nous touche, il fait irruption, il transforme nos manières de sentir et de penser. Il fait sensation.

Omniprésentes dès l'origine dans la mythologie et les arts, les figures du passeur, « l'homme-nef », ont traversé toutes les époques et essaimé tous les domaines des sciences humaines, de la culture et de la technique. Plus que jamais d'actualité, du fait de la période que nous traversons, cette antique notion est devenue un des grands vecteurs de la médiation ; c'est aussi une des figures clés de l'anthropologie, entendue comme pensée de la relation et de la traduction, et de la médiologie, qui s'intéresse aux modes de transport des messages et des hommes à travers l'espace et le temps. Archétype du corps conducteur, le passeur est sans conteste une des figures emblématiques d'une (post)modernité placée sous le signe de la communication, de la circulation de l'information et des échanges les plus divers ; il était donc opportun de s'y intéresser. Dans les vingt-deux contributions réparties en trois chapitres (I. Transitions, Transactions, Transgressions ; II. Initiations, Transformations, Transmutations ; Transferts, Traductions, Trans-culturations) de cet ouvrage collectif, le lecteur découvrira des données originales concernant le passeur, entité protéiforme et exemple rare sinon unique de figure mythologique et archétypale acquérant, après s'être sécularisée et banalisée, la pertinence et la polyvalence d'un principe explicatif.
