Si les études de genre utilisent abondamment les notions de discrimination ou d’inégalités, il est plus rare qu’elles abordent à proprement parler celle de compétition. Le présent volume aborde ce thème avec pour but de mettre en lumière la manière dont les périodes de forte compétition sociale influent sur la place et la redéfinition des attributs sexués, en même temps que l’importance relative donnée à ceux-ci dans les situations de rivalité ou de compétition. La dizaine de travaux rassemblés présentent une vaste enquête sur la notion de genre dans l'historiographie moderne et dans les sources de la fin de l'Antiquité et du haut Moyen Âge avant d'analyser des exemples venus aussi bien de l'archéologie que des chroniques ou de l'hagiographie, essentiellement en Gaule et en Italie. Les auteurs montrent comment genres et régimes de genre sont des outils et des produits des crises et des compétitions, aussi bien pour les hommes que pour les femmes de l'Occident altimédiéval.

Symbiosis is the fourth volume in the series Cellular Origin and Life in Extreme Habitats (COLE). Fifty experts, from over a dozen countries, review their current studies on different approaches to these phenomena. The chapters present various aspects of symbiosis from gene transfer, morphological features, and biodiversity to individual organisms sharing mutual cellular habitats. The origin of the eukaryotic phase is discussed with emphasis on cyanelles, H syntrophy, N2 fixation, and S-based symbiosis (as well as the origin of mitochondrion, chloroplast, and nucleus). All members of the three domains of life are presented for sharing symbiotic associations. This volume brings the concept of living together as `One plus One (plus One) equals One.' The purpose of this book is to introduce the teacher, researcher, scholar, and student as well as the open-minded and science-oriented reader to the global importance of this association.

"Competitive video and computer game play is nothing new: the documentary King of Kong memorably portrays a Donkey Kong player's attempts to achieve the all-time highest score; the television show Starcade (1982--1984) featured competitions among arcade game players; and first-person shooter games of the 1990s became multiplayer through network play. A new development in the world of digital gaming, however, is the emergence of professional computer game play, complete with star players, team owners, tournaments, sponsorships, and spectators. In Raising the Stakes, T.L. Taylor explores the emerging scene of professional computer gaming and the accompanying efforts to make a sport out of this form of play. In the course of her explorations, Taylor travels to tournaments, including the World Cyber Games Grand Finals (which considers itself the computer gaming equivalent of the Olympics), and interviews participants from players to broadcasters. She examines pro-gaming, with its highly paid players, play-by-play broadcasts, and mass audience; discusses whether or not e-sports should even be considered sports; traces the player's path from amateur to professional (and how a hobby becomes work); and describes the importance of leagues, teams, owners, organizers, referees, sponsors, and fans in shaping the structure and culture of pro-gaming. Taylor connects professional computer gaming to broader issues: our notions of play, work, and sport; the nature of spectatorship; the influence of money on sports. And she examines the ongoing struggle over the gendered construction of play through the lens of male-dominated pro-gaming. Ultimately, the evolution of professional computer gaming illuminates the contemporary struggle to convert playful passions into serious play"--Publisher's description.
