Описание: From the Mesolithic period onwards (and moreover with the first collective or mass graves from the late Neolithic), the dead are gathered in groups, bundles or cemeteries and the skeletons and human bones unearthed by archaeo-anthropologists must be dealt with as a population (or part-population) and not as mere individuals or isolated bones. When skeletons or bones are discovered in a certain quantity, bioarchaeology has to deal with figures and quantitative data and has to question the issue of the representativeness of such an osteological sample and of the meaning of the whole collection, as far as mortality and burial practices are concerned. This is the first comprehensive account on the quantitative aspects of human burials. It is both a handbook for bioarchaeologists dealing with mass graves, burial selection phenomena or fragmented and commingled human remains, and a theoretical statement on the use of mortality profiles and quantitative osteological data in funerary archaeology. For instance, it shows, step by step, how to calculate probabilities of death and the other parameters of a life table, but also what are the basic hypotheses to do so. It also discusses the potential to reconstruct the living population from burial and osteological data. The main topics are: quantitative osteology, including the question of the MNI (Minimum Number of Individuals), the significance of the different anatomical parts represented, and the dental remains; the history of demography and paleodemography and their theoretical relationships; the use of some “demographic tools” (including standard life tables as references) and the interpretation of paleodemographic reconstruction; the assessment of mortality profiles as a means for identifying peculiar bone assemblages, in relation to their archaeological significance and history. Each chapter is enlightened by practical archaeological case studies (Neolithic funerary practices, plague mortality, burial selection in a parish cemetery).

In The Battle of the Sexes in French Cinema, 1930–1956, Noël Burch and Geneviève Sellier adopt a sociocultural approach to films made in France before, during, and after World War II, paying particular attention to the Occupation years (1940–44). The authors contend that the films produced from the 1930s until 1956—when the state began to subsidize the movie industry, facilitating the emergence of an "auteur cinema"—are important, both as historical texts and as sources of entertainment.
Citing more than 300 films and providing many in-depth interpretations, Burch and Sellier argue that films made in France between 1930 and 1956 created a national imaginary that equated masculinity with French identity. They track the changing representations of masculinity, explaining how the strong patriarch who saved fallen or troubled women from themselves in prewar films gave way to the impotent, unworthy, or incapable father figure of the Occupation. After the Liberation, the patriarch reemerged as protector and provider alongside assertive women who figured as threats not only to themselves but to society as a whole.
