Описание: Pour les lettres belges de langue fran aise, le tournant des ann es 1980 se signale par un mouvement identitaire, culturel et politique, cristallis autour du concept de belgitude . C'est qu'il tait une autre Belgique que celle de papa , pour reprendre le titre du dossier d clencheur de Pierre Mertens (1976).
Pour les acteurs de cette mouvance, il s'agissait d'inscrire l' criture litt raire belge francophone dans un rapport de normalit l'Histoire et la langue, au-del de tout cran id ologique, ou des d nis qui avaient caract ris les oeuvres et les propos des tenants du Manifeste du lundi (1937) et de leurs h ritiers. En somme, selon la formule de Marc Quaghebeur, le d bat de la belgitude mettait en lumi re la difficult comme les possibilit s de faire oeuvre ici .
Cet essai passe en revue le contexte, les enjeux, les acteurs et les arguments majeurs d'une g n ration qui modifia le panorama culturel de la Belgique au moment o le pays se dotait d'une nouvelle structure institutionnelle.
Il d gage et d crit les conditions d' mergence des nouvelles instances culturelles issues de processus, comme la production litt raire foisonnante et le renouveau critique. D sormais, le terme belgit pr n par Ruggero Campagnoli rend compte de cette normalit acquise, m me si belgitude correspond de plus en plus souvent cette acception.

Описание: Cetaceans are one of the most unknown groups in the animal kingdom. Their study is very difficult due to their scarcity, their flighty behavior, and their enormous displacements. In addition, some species feed in very deep waters and only emerge to breathe, or they live in hard to reach areas. However, few animals create so much wonder. What child or adult has not felt emotions when contemplating the spectacles of the killer whales, the pirouettes of the dolphins, or the immensity of the whales in the middle of the sea? Some of the authors of this book have been so moved to be surrounded by a group of fin whales that could not contain their tears. It is a difficult sensation to explain. One could try to summarize it by saying that these immense animals exhale peace. Seeing dolphins making capers around a boat or a group of fin whales suddenly emerging a few meters away is one of the greatest shows we can see in nature. In the presence of these animals, there is only a feeling of recollection. These are the moments when we see how small we humans are in this wonderful biosphere. Therefore, this book is a small tribute to these beautiful living beings. Something we owe them. We have to protect these animals, but we cannot do so without knowing them. In this text, the authors provide key information to understand the evolution of cetaceans, their patterns of movement and behavior, always under a conservation perspective. This book has been written by 15 leading specialists from three different countries and with different backgrounds ranging from biology to veterinary science. They are united by a common interest, a passion. The book does not focus on a single species, but covers studies with dolphins, sperm whales, and fin whales, as well as various methodological approaches that provide key data to understand the evolution of up to 50 different species. Many diverse aspects have been covered and, above all, new methodological approaches have been provided in areas such as acoustics, the study of spatial and feeding behavior, evolution, social interactions, and even blue economics. As if this were not enough, the authors wish to highlight the immense amount of data that has been used. The first chapter on fin whales is based on hundreds of sightings over several years, and dozens of satellite images on various environmental parameters. Chapter two covers hundreds of recordings of the sounds of humpback whales around the world. Chapter three has followed the sperm whale populations of the Strait of Gibraltar over several years with hundreds of sightings. Chapters four and five study the evolution of more than fifty species through hundreds of recordings using qualitative and quantitative approaches, respectively. The sixth chapter compares the behavior of two species of dolphins. Finally, chapter seven designs a new line of study for these animals: the blue economy.

Описание: Tour d’horizon pluriel des questionnements identitaires a l’?uvre ou sous-jacents dans les litteratures africaines francophones ou lusophones – et, a un moindre egard, anglophones –, les contributions de ce volume explorent des problematiques transversales a ces champs litteraires. Elles analysent notamment la complexite des images que les litteratures europeennes (tout particulierement celles des anciennes puissances coloniales) se font ou entretiennent de l’Autre africain ; et vice versa, celles que les litteratures africaines projettent ou vehiculent de l’Europe et des Europeens – specialement des anciennes puissances coloniales. Quelque cinquante ans apres la vague de decolonisation de l’Union francaise, des territoires africains de la Couronne britannique, des colonie et protectorats belges, et du debut des insurrections dans les colonies portugaises, cet ouvrage laisse voir comment des litteratures africaines et europeennes inscrivent des identites africaines dans une plongee complexe et nuancee. Un processus postcolonial loin d’etre arrive a son terme. Un livre charniere.

Описание: Assessing critical theory today, Jose Mauricio Domingues’ Emancipation and History focuses on the connection between history and emancipation, centering on the trends that structure modernity and may lead us beyond it. Classical and contemporary sociology and social theory are mobilized to recover a robust theory capable of going beyond recurrent empirical, and therefore weaker, perspectives in emancipatory thought. Collective subjectivity and social creativity, history and sociology, analytical concepts and trend-concepts, social existential questions, the role of equal freedom and of immanent critique, secularization, capitalism, the modern state, 'populism', the family and the meaning of citizenship, Marx, Weber, Bhaskar, Habermas, Laclau, Sousa Santos and Negri are topics and authors that stand out in the book.
