This book provides an in-depth examination of the Yungdrung Bon religion in light of globalization. In its global dimension, Bon has been attracting a growing number of Westerners, particularly to its Dzogchen teachings and meditation practices. In this expansion, Bon operates in a dynamic context where forces that create changes in the tradition coexist, sometimes in tension and sometimes in tandem, with other forces that aim to preserve it. In tracing the process through which Bon has become a global religion, this monograph narrates the story of the principal figures who initially facilitated this transmission, following their journey from Tibet to India and Nepal. The narrative then moves to explore the dynamics taking place in the transmission and reception of Yungdrung Bon in Western countries, opening up a new viewpoint on the expansion of Tibetan religious traditions into the West and painting a comprehensive picture of the modern history of the Yungdrung Bon religion as narrated by its participants. In so doing, it makes an invaluable contribution to the study of Tibetan traditions in the West as well as to the wider history of religions, social anthropology, psychology, and conversion studies.

Les récits de vie d'Annie Ernaux, Pierre Michon, Pierre Bergounioux et François Bon témoignent des figures oubliées de l'arbre généalogique et des laissés pour compte de la société contemporaine. En écho aux mutations épistémologiques des sciences humaines dans les années 1960-1970, ces auteurs entendent écrire l'Histoire non plus du point de vue des hommes illustres, mais du point de vue des anonymes. La mise en récit des sans-voix participe d'un renouvellement des paradigmes de la narration dans les dernières décennies du XXe siècle. Les figures sans histoire induisent en effet des processus de réduction et de marginalisation du genre romanesque. La trame des vies muettes se déroule sur le mode de l'éclat, bribes de la mémoire ou jaillissement incisif d'un réel à vif. La ténuité des archives, le soupçon éthique et poétique qui porte sur la reconfiguration narrative de ces vies réelles conduisent l'écrivain à délaisser les formes périmées du roman réaliste. Ils le poussent à questionner l'écart social et culturel avec ces demi-autres, mués en autant de miroirs de soi en éclats. Ces narrations au genre hybride font apparaître une figure d'auteur problématique, latérale et brisée, nourrie d'une incertitude épistémique majeure. Ces identités narratives diffractées - celles des personnages comme des auteurs - interrogent en retour l'histoire de la littérature, sa place et sa puissance de résistance dans la société d'aujourd'hui.

- Water resources management should be assessed under climate change conditions, as historic data cannot replicate future climatic conditions. - Climate change impacts on water resources are bound to affect all water uses, i.e., irrigated agriculture, domestic and industrial water supply, hydropower generation, and environmental flow (of streams and rivers) and water level (of lakes). - Bottom-up approaches, i.e., the forcing of hydrologic simulation models with climate change models’ outputs, are the most common engineering practices and considered as climate-resilient water management approaches. - Hydrologic simulations forced by climate change scenarios derived from regional climate models (RCMs) can provide accurate assessments of the future water regime at basin scales. - Irrigated agriculture requires special attention as it is the principal water consumer and alterations of both precipitation and temperature patterns will directly affect agriculture yields and incomes. - Integrated water resources management (IWRM) requires multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, with climate change to be an emerging cornerstone in the IWRM concept.
