Abstract

Chaque année brûle dans le monde une surface de forêts et de végétation naturelle équivalente à celle de l'Europe. Le climat, les activités humaines et la végétation sont les trois grands facteurs qui contrôlent les feux et en modifient parfois le comportement, voire la dangerosité. Aussi le danger s'accroît-il dans certains « points chauds » du globe où se concentrent la plupart des incendies, notamment avec le développement de méga-feux. Cependant, l'histoire millénaire des incendies dans le monde nous apprend que le feu constitue un processus naturel indispensable au maintien de beaucoup d'écosystèmes et d'espèces. Dans de nombreux pays, c'est aussi un allié pour cultiver la terre. Les effets des feux peuvent donc être dramatiques, mais aussi bénéfiques. Peu d'ouvrages existent sur les incendies à l'échelle globale. S'adressant aux décideurs autant qu'à un plus large public, ce livre illustré de nombreux exemples est une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur l'écologie du feu et sa géographie. Il suggère qu'il est possible de cohabiter durablement avec le feu à condition de s'adapter et de gérer intelligemment les paysages, afin de diminuer le risque incendie tout en préservant la biodiversité.

Abstract

"Each August staff and volunteers begin to construct Black Rock City, a temporary city located in the hostile and haunting Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada. Every September nearly seventy thousand people occupy the city for Burning Man, an event that creates the sixth largest population center in Nevada. By mid-September the infrastructure that supported the community is fully dismantled, and by October the land on which the city lay is scrubbed of evidence of its existence. The Archaeology of Burning Man examines this process of building, occupation, and destruction. For nearly a decade Carolyn L. White has employed archeological methods-including mapping, surveying, photographing, interviewing, and participant observation--to analyze the various aspects of life and community in and around Burning Man and Black Rock City. With a syncretic approach that draws on scholarship in archaeology, cultural anthropology, geography, and philosophy, this work in active site archaeology provides both a theoretical basis and a practical demonstration of the potential of this new field to reexamine the most fundamental conceptions in the social sciences"--

Abstract

"Fire is a daunting human ecological challenge and a major subject in science and policy debates about global trends in land conversion, climate change, and human health. Persistent environmental orthodoxies reduce complex burning traditions to overly simplistic representations of environmental destruction, degradation, and loss while reinforcing existing social inequities involving smallholders. Fire Otherwise: Ethnobiology of Burning for a Changing World advocates for a more inclusive and pluralistic fire ecology, a shift from the paradigmatic globalized version of fire science and management towards research and management that embraces anthropogenic fire regimes and broader understandings of the ways humans interact with fire. The authors present new evaluations of human interactions with fires in contexts of changing environmental conditions. Through deep description and analysis of knowledge and practices enacted by local communities who ignite, manage, and extinguish fires, this collection of case studies supports proactive local and regional efforts to adapt amidst continually changing social and ecological circumstances"--

Abstract

Cremation, as a means of managing the post-mortem body, was reintroduced to Europe at the end of the eighteenth century, but would not become common practice until the second half of the nineteenth century. This was a major development, with multifaceted implications which generated heated debate. Initially, armed with a variety of arguments (hygienic, economic, aesthetic, and philosophical arguments citing freedom of conscience and will) the advocates of modern cremation - who tended to come...

Abstract

Guillaume Lepesqueux seeks to interpret Exod. 3,14 (»I am who I am«) in the context of enunciation of the Book of Exodus and its literary composition, and in doing so analyzes the three texts in which God communicates and explains his name to Moses.
