Ireland appears to be in the throes of a remarkable process of social and economic change. This text scrutinizes the interpretations and prescriptions that inform the deceptively simple metaphor of the ""Celtic Tiger"".

Following France's defeat, the Nazis moved forward with plans to reorganize a European continent now largely under Hitler's heel. Some Nazi elites argued for a pan-European cultural empire to crown Hitler's conquests. Benjamin Martin charts the rise and fall of Nazi-fascist soft power and brings into focus a neglected aspect of Axis geopolitics.

Cet ouvrage analyse les rapports entre identité, médias et liens sociaux au Maghreb. Quels modes ou modèles de comportements – individuels ou collectifs – peuvent-être adoptés ? Qui peut les revendiquer ? Quels rôles jouent la nation et la religion dans l’adoption de telle ou telle pratique ? Comment parler de la tradition aujourd’hui… ? Ces questions traversent les présentes contributions, issues d’un travail collectif mené à l’Institut de recherche sur le Maghreb contemporain entre 1993 et 1996. Les thèmes traités – citons la presse dans le Tanger cosmopolite du début du siècle, la reconfiguration des liens familiaux par la télévision tunisienne au cours du ramadan, ou encore l’analyse des vêtements « islamiques » – offrent des réponses détaillées et nuancées à ces interrogations. Les lieux, par ailleurs, marquent leur importance, autant par leur histoire spécifique que comme vecteurs de sociabilité. Les liens qui s’y développent, à l’instar des vies qui s’y expriment, inscrivent ainsi des itinéraires où alternent mouvements et haltes. Qui sait mieux que les Maghrébins anciens d’Indochine la difficulté de situer leur mémoire ? Quelles trajectoires, imaginaires ou guidées, suivent le touriste ou le jeune écoutant du raï ? Si ces études sont résolument liées à l’espace social et géographique du Maghreb, elles rendent compte de l’imbrication complexe et mouvante de cet espace dans des « réseaux de référence » plus larges. Ces approches concrètes, menées dans des « lieux » variables, apportent une contribution aux débats actuels sur la globalisation et le rôle des médias.

The Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture is the first comprehensive reference book to provide multidisciplinary coverage of the field of black cultural production in Britain. The publication is of particular value because despite attracting growing academic interest in recent years, this field is still often subject to critical and institutional neglect. For the purpose of the Companion, the term 'black' is used to signify African, Caribbean and South Asian ethnicities, while at the same time addressing the debates concerning notions of black Britishness and cultur

In this extraordinary collection of writings, covering the period from 1878 to 1989, a wide range of Japanese visitors to the United States offer their vivid, and sometimes surprising perspectives on Americans and American society. Peter Duus and Kenji Hasegawa have selected essays and articles by Japanese from many walks of life: writers and academics, bureaucrats and priests, politicians and journalists, businessmen, philanthropists, artists. Their views often reflect power relations between America and Japan, particularly during the wartime and postwar periods, but all of them dealt with common themes-America's origins, its ethnic diversity, its social conformity, its peculiar gender relations, its vast wealth, and its cultural arrogance-making clear that while Japanese observers often regarded the U.S. as a mentor, they rarely saw it as a role model.

Expanding the horizon of established accounts of Central European art under socialism, this book uncovers the neglected history of artistic engagement with the natural environment in the Eastern Bloc. The turbulent legacy of 1968, which saw the confluence of political upheaval, spread of counterculture, rise of ecological consciousness, and emergence of global conceptual art, provides the setting for Maja Fowkes’s innovative reassessment of the environmental practice of the Central European neo-avant-garde. Focussing on artists and artist groups whose ecological dimension has rarely been considered, including the Pécs Workshop from Hungary, OHO in Slovenia, TOK in Croatia, Rudolf Sikora in Slovakia, and the Czech artist Petr Štembera, 'The Green Bloc: Neo-avant-garde Art and Ecology under Socialism' brings to light an array of distinctive approaches to nature, from attempts to raise environmental awareness among socialist citizens to the exploration of non-anthropocentric positions and the quest for cosmological existence in the midst of red ideology. Embedding artistic production in social, political, and environmental histories of the region, this book reveals the Central European artists’ sophisticated relationship to nature, at the precise moment when ecological crisis was first apprehended on a planetary scale.
