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"".

During World War II, Nazi-fascist cultural organizations brought writers, filmmakers, and composers together at international conferences where intellectuals celebrated a nationalist and anti-Semitic vision of European culture and pursued the continent-wide reform of the legal and economic bases of European culture. The Nazi-Fascist New Order for European Culture charts the origins, successes, and collapse of the Axis's pan-European cultural institutions. It analyzes their core ideas, charts their internal rivalries, and reveals the complex dynamic of cooperation and competition between the Germans and the Italians that stood at the heart of the project.--

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.

Dès le début du XIXe siècle, l'Inde et la vision brahmanique du monde sont au cœur de tous les débats érudits, mondains ou confessionnels. L'épopée des études indiennes que l'auteur nous propose ici retrace sur deux siècles les contextes, les enjeux, les débats, les controverses et brosse le portrait de savants qui, de Sylvain Lévi à Marcel Mauss, de Silvestre de Sacy à Jean Filliozat, d'Eugène Burnouf à Mc Kim Marriott, mettent l'Inde à l'épreuve de la science. À la périphérie, la position des écrivains et des essayistes en tout genre, René Daumal, Romain Rolland, ou René Guénon, qui disputent aux savants le monopole de la compréhension de l'Inde retrouve ici un rôle longtemps marginalisé. L'œuvre centrale de Louis Dumont, entre savants et prophètes, prend alors la pleine mesure de son apport. Cet ouvrage exigeant et audacieux adresse, au-delà de l'Inde, les questions les plus actuelles que peut se poser la science "comme expression de l'universel"

This is the first comprehensive study about the non-mathematical writings and activities of the Russian algebraic geometer and number theorist Igor Shafarevich (b. 1923). In the 1970s Shafarevich was a prominent member of the dissidents’ human rights movement and a noted author of clandestine anti-communist literature in the Soviet Union. Shafarevich’s public image suffered a terrible blow around 1989 when he was decried as a dangerous ideologue of anti-Semitism. The scandal culminated when the President of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States suggested that Shafarevich, an honorary member, resign. While it became clear already in the early 1990s that Shafarevich had not discriminated against his Jewish students, as was claimed, the present study also shows that the allegations about anti-Semitism in Shafarevich’s texts are unfounded.
