In 2004, Vanessa Fong offered a groundbreaking ethnographic exploration of the social, economic, and psychological development of children born since China's one-child policy was introduced in 1979. Her book Only Hope left readers with a picture of stressed, ambitious adolescents for whom elite status was the ultimate goal, though relatively few were in a position to achieve it.In Paradise Redefined, Fong tracks the experiences of many in her initial cohort of Chinese only-children-now college-age-as they study abroad in Australia, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, North A

Le prestige, la réputation et l’influence dont la cuisine française jouit depuis des siècles semblent une évidence de l’histoire de l’alimentation. Mais comment s’est diffusé le modèle culinaire français dans le monde entier ? Et à quel prix ? Ce livre propose une étude d’ensemble en adoptant le point de vue de ceux qui ont eu affaire à ce modèle. Partant d’une large conception du « culinaire », et adoptant une dimension mondiale (de la Norvège au Mexique, en passant par la Tunisie, Taïwan, l’Italie ou encore l’Angleterre), ce livre analyse le modèle culinaire français depuis le XVIIe siècle lorsqu’une cuisine française transformée en profondeur commence à être largement traduite en Europe, jusqu’à aujourd’hui, où son hégémonie paraît menacée - malgré l’inscription du Repas gastronomique des Français au patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’humanité et les succès de la gastrodiplomatie française. Au-delà du domaine des « Food Studies », ce livre permettra de nourrir l’exploration de phénomènes fondamentaux en études culturelles : les vecteurs par lesquels le modèle culinaire français s’est diffusé, les passeurs qui ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans sa transmission (comme Édouard de Pomiane aux États-Unis ou la classe politique italienne), ainsi que les processus d’adaptation à d’appropriation et de métissage.

L’enseignement en Égypte est un problème dont l’ampleur n’a d’égale que celle de la population à scolariser. Dès lors en aborder toutes les facettes au cours d’un seul séminaire ne pouvait être qu’une gageure. Conscients de ces limites les participants se sont efforcés dans leurs communications de n’aborder qu’une dimension spécifique de la question de l’enseignement. Cette approche nous permet de publier un dossier qui n’est certes qu’un élément de plus dans l’analyse de ce problème fondamental pour le développement de l’Égypte mais qui, dans le même temps, comporte avec les conclusions des spécialistes, un certain nombre de données significatives de la dimension de ce problème comme de son évolution.

La mesure et la compréhension des échanges internationaux de biens et de services culturels sont essentiels pour esquisser une stratégie d'insertion des acteurs français dans les échanges internationaux et plus largement définir les conditions d'une diversité culturelle. Ce numéro, qui mobilise les méthodologies économétriques, cherche à repérer dans quelle mesure les échanges culturels peuvent être des indicateurs de proximité culturelle tant dans les échanges commerciaux que dans les investissements à l'étranger et les flux migratoires.

The concept of diaspora has been much debated during the past decade in terms of the essential and additional features that go with it, arguing which groups or communities could beuld not be designated as diaspora. The Indian diaspora today, with a strong community constituting more than 20 million and spreading across a hundred countries, continues to grow in size and making its transnational presence felt. This collection of essays traces some of the plurality with the Indian context as well as in the context of globalization, and transnationalism. The book discusses the migratory movements that have led to the formation of the Indian diaspora and formation to diasporic practices-the ways and means of remembering and enacting diasporic belonging and the sites and spaces where such narratives of belonging are performed and how these issues are played out through texts, and rituals such as pilgrimages and building temples.

Co-published with the Waterloo Centre for German Studies For centuries, large numbers of German-speaking people have emigrated from settlements in Europe to other countries and continents.

This volume presents a selection of French varieties representing the great diversity of this language along geographical, social, and stylistic dimensions. Twelve illustrations from regions as far removed as Western Canada and Central Africa represent widely divergent social contexts of language use. Each chapter is based on original surveys conducted within the framework of the Phonology of Contemporary French project, described in the Introduction. These surveys constitute an invaluable source of new data for researchers, as many of the varieties included are otherwise undocumented in any

After 1933, New York City gave shelter to many leading German and German-Jewish intellectuals. Stripped of their German citizenship by the Nazi-regime, these public figures either stayed in the New York area or moved on to California and other places. This compendium, adopting the title of a famous volume published by Klaus and Erika Mann in 1939, explores the impact the US, and NYC in particular, had on these authors as well as the influence they in turn exerted on US intellectual life. Moreover, it addresses the transformations that took place in the exiled intellectuals' thinking when it was translated into another language and addressed to an American audience. Among the individuals presented in this volume, are such prominent names as T.W. Adorno, H. Arendt, W. Benjamin, E. Bloch, B. Brecht, S. Kracauer, the Mann family, S. Morgenstern, and E. Panofsky. The authors of the essays in this compendium were free to choose the angle (biography, theory, politics) or aspect (a single work, a personal constellation) deemed best to illuminate the given intellectual's work. Acclaimed NYC photographer Fred Stein, a German-Jewish refugee from Dresden, produced numerous portraits of exiled intellectuals and artists. A selection of these compelling portraits is reproduced in this book for the first time.
