Abstract

À la table des négociations multilatérales, certains ambassadeurs ont plus de poids que d'autres en dépit du principe d'égalité souveraine qui fonde les rapports internationaux. Partant du constat que les différences de ressources matérielles entre les États ne suffisent pas à expliquer ce phénomène, Vincent Pouliot propose une visite guidée de la salle des machines de la politique mondiale. Il montre que les diplomates participent à des luttes de rang fondées tout autant sur leur savoir-faire respectif que sur les liens sociaux qu'ils nouent entre eux et sur l'idée que chacun a de son rôle, du « sens de sa place ». Ces manières de faire engendrent des ordres hiérarchiques complexes. La diplomatie n'est pas qu'un simple vernis social ou encore un rideau devant la scène. En connaître les ressorts aide à mieux comprendre la marche du monde.

Abstract

Peu étudié et encore peu visible, le secteur du réemploi est devenu partie prenante des politiques publiques de gestion des déchets dans de nombreux pays. Anthropologues et sociologues se penchent sur ces pratiques dans différents pays et à leurs diverses modalités. ©Electre 2017

Abstract

The presently common practice of wastes' land-filling is undesirable due to legislation pressures, rising costs and the poor biodegradability of commonly used materials. Therefore, recycling seems to be the best solution. The purpose of this book is to present the state-of-the-art for the recycling methods of several materials, as well as to propose potential uses of the recycled products. It targets professionals, recycling companies, researchers, academics and graduate students in the fields of waste management and polymer recycling in addition to chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry and physics. This book comprises 16 chapters covering areas such as, polymer recycling using chemical, thermo-chemical (pyrolysis) or mechanical methods, recycling of waste tires, pharmaceutical packaging and hardwood kraft pulp and potential uses of recycled wastes.

Abstract

"This ethnography examines questions of value, labor, and morality underlining the translocal waste networks in Spring District, Vietnam. Engaging with waste as an economic category of global significance, this book provides an account of migrant laborers' complex negotiations with political economic forces to build their economic, social, and moral life from their marginalized position. It thereby makes visible how women and men seek to construct viable identities and meaningful lives in the face of stigmatization, insecurity, and precarity. It makes an important contribution to global studies of informalized economies and post-socialist transformations, adding to knowledge about how the forces of globalization blend with local historical-cultural dynamics to shape economic and moral lives"--

Abstract

The recycling and reuse of materials and objects were extensive in the past, but have rarely been embedded into models of the economy; even more rarely has any attempt been made to address the scale of these practices. Recent developments, including the use of large datasets, computational modelling, and high-resolution analytical chemistry are increasingly offering the means to reconstruct recycling and reuse, and even to approach the thorny issue of quantification. This volume is the first to bring together these new approaches, and the first to present a consideration of recycling and reuse in the Roman economy, taking into account a range of materials and using a variety of methodological approaches. It presents integrated, cross-referential evidence for the recycling and reuse of textiles, papyrus, statuary and building materials, amphorae, metals, and glass, and examines significant questions about organization, value, and the social meaning of recycling.

Abstract

En France, les municipalités produisent aujourd'hui 47 millions de tonnes de déchets par an ; elles consomment environ 6 milliards de mètres cubes d'eau et produisent à peu près la même quantité d'eaux usées. Les villes consomment donc beaucoup et perdent presque autant. Elles constitueraient, selon l'écologue Eugen Odum, des écosystèmes parasites, vivant au détriment des autres tout en affectant le fonctionnement biogéochimique de la biosphère. Déchets et eaux usées sont d'excellents traceurs des relations qu'entretiennent les sociétés et la nature et permettent de s'interroger sur la permanence du parasitisme urbain - question d'importance au regard des enjeux du développement durable. Une première analyse laisserait penser que l'industrialisation et l'urbanisation caractéristiques des deux derniers siècles ont renforcé le rôle destructeur des villes et la production de déchets de toutes natures : le déchet serait en quelque sorte consubstantiel à la ville. Sabine Barles revient ici sur cette hypothèse en montrant que l'invention des déchets urbains est relativement récente. L'analyse et l'exploitation du cycle des matières furent en effet déterminantes au cours de la première révolution industrielle. Leur circulation de la maison à la rue, de la rue et de la fosse d'aisances à l'usine ou au champ contribua au premier essor de la consommation urbaine. Scientifiques, industriels, agriculteurs - parfois confondus - regardèrent la ville comme une mine de matières premières et participèrent, aux côtés des administrations municipales, des services techniques et des chiffonniers, à la réalisation d'un projet urbain visant à ne rien laisser perdre, projet garant de la salubrité urbaine, du dynamisme économique et de la survie alimentaire. Ce n'est que lorsque industrie et agriculture purent se passer de la ville qu'elles lui abandonnèrent ses excreta au profit d'autres matières premières plus abondantes, plus rentables, plus commodes. De fait on assiste, à partir des années 1880, à une dévalorisation progressive des excreta urbains qui se feront plus tard déchets et eaux usées, malgré les tentatives faites çà et là pour leur trouver de nouveaux débouchés. Chimistes et agronomes se détournèrent de la ville qui échappa dès lors à leurs compétences. La ville, principal lieu d'une consommation dont elle avait dans un premier temps permis l'essor, rompait ses liens matériels avec l'agriculture et l'industrie et devenait ce que dénonçaient les premiers écologues urbains : un parasite.

Abstract

This book presents a number of aspects to be considered in the development of disassembly automation, including the mechanical system, vision system and intelligent planner. The implementation of cognitive robotics increases the flexibility and degree of autonomy of the disassembly system. Disassembly, as a step in the treatment of end-of-life products, can allow the recovery of embodied value left within disposed products, as well as the appropriate separation of potentially-hazardous components. In the end-of-life treatment industry, disassembly has largely been limited to manual labor, which is expensive in developed countries. Automation is one possible solution for economic feasibility. The target audience primarily comprises researchers and experts in the field, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
