Cet ouvrage est consacré à l'étude anthropologique des représentations de l'infortune et de la prédation dans les Andes de Bolivie. Jusqu'à présent, c'est essentiellement à partir de la notion d'échange et de contrat que les rapports entre les humains et les entités surnaturelles avaient été décrits dans cette région. L'auteure entend interroger à nouveau ce prisme de l'échange et montrer que les membres des communautés paysannes se situent dans un environnement foncièrement prédateur. Les diables de l'inframonde saisiraient en effet l'âme des humains pour leur alimentation dès qu'ils en ont l'opportunité car leur faim est insatiable. Comment les humains vont-ils essayer d'échapper à l'infortune ? L'échange permet-il de neutraliser la prédation ? Ce livre est consacré à l'analyse des différentes modalités partagées par ces populations pour contrer la prédation (réelle ou symbolique) imputée au surnaturel mais aussi à d'autres humains. L'auteure montre que si l'échange occupe une place fondamentale dans les Andes, il laisse la place à d'autres modes de relation et d'action. Pour éviter l'infortune, les individus trouvent des réponses dans et par leur corps grâce à la gestion physiologique et animique de leur corporéité : manger pour ne pas être mangé, ne pas penser pour ne pas être mangé par exemple. L'étude permet ainsi d'ajouter l'acte de penser aux côtés de la parole et des gestes rituels dans l'analyse des relations qui unissent les humains aux forces du monde qui les entourent. Elle permet aussi de considérer l'impact des conversions pentecôtistes et des migrations des campagnes vers les villes dans ce processus. Suivant à rebours les trajectoires de migration, l'auteure a mené un travail de terrain comparatif entre trois communautés des Andes boliviennes : l'une située en zone péri urbaine à proximité de Cochabamba, les deux autres en zone rurale au Nord Potosi.

This book provides a challenging interpretation of ancient hunter-gatherer societies along the St. Johns River in northeast Florida and reveals that these mounds were not just garbage dumps, but rather intentionally constructed sacred mounds of immense significance to their creators. The book presents a new theoretical framework for investigating shell mounds as places of history-making through daily living, ceremonies, and burial ritual.

Monografie zachycuje, jak se v 90. letech vyvíjely vztahy mezi politickou a mediální sférou v Česku, jak politická sféra ovlivnila transformaci ČTK. První tři kapitoly se týkají procesu tvorby institucionální legislativy (zákony č. 123/1965 Sb., č. 310/1991 Sb. a č. 517/1992 Sb.), další dvě pak aplikace právních norem: na příkladu volby první Rady ČTK (1993) a pokusu vlády vrátit do zákona povinnost zveřejňovat oficiální prohlášení v plném znění, a redefinovat tak úlohy agentury (1995). Poslední část rekapituluje postoje ke změně statutu, respektive k případné privatizaci agentury a časově se váže k druhé Radě ČTK (1998), byť téma prolíná celými 90. léty. Zákonodárci totiž v roce 1992 předpokládali, že statut ČTK jako média veřejné služby bude dočasný, na rozdíl od zákonů o České televizi a Českém rozhlasu.

Most people in the world today think democracy and gender equality are good, and that violence and wealth inequality are bad. But most people who lived during the 10,000 years before the nineteenth century thought just the opposite. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, biology, and history, Ian Morris explains why. Fundamental long-term changes in values, Morris argues, are driven by the most basic force of all: energy. Humans have found three main ways to get the energy they need--from foraging, farming, and fossil fuels. Each energy source sets strict limits on what kinds of societies can succeed, and each kind of society rewards specific values. But if our fossil-fuel world favors democratic, open societies, the ongoing revolution in energy capture means that our most cherished values are very likely to turn out not to be useful any more. Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels offers a compelling new argument about the evolution of human values, one that has far-reaching implications for how we understand the past--and for what might happen next. Originating as the Tanner Lectures delivered at Princeton University, the book includes challenging responses by classicist Richard Seaford, historian of China Jonathan Spence, philosopher Christine Korsgaard, and novelist Margaret Atwood.

Since Estonia regained its independence on 20 August 1991 Estonian civil procedure has been gradually developed from the civil procedure of Estonian SSR to the modern civil procedure rules in force today. The current code of civil procedure was adopted on 20 April 2005 and came into force in 1 January 2006. Since coming into force several changes have been made to the current code with significant changes coming into force on 1 January 2009. Estonian civil procedure is mainly based on the adversarial principle, except for some specific cases and proceedings on petition where the inquisitorial principle is used. Deriving from this the parties are in most cases free to decide on what evidence to submit and whether to submit evidence at all. While the court may ask the parties to submit evidence, they are not required to do so. The situation is different in cases based on the inquisitorial principle. Estonian civil procedure does not impose many restrictions as to the kind of evidence that can be submitted. Virtually anything that can be reproduced in some way may be submitted as documentary evidence and any person who has knowledge about the facts of the case may be heard as a witness. Even the parties may be heard under oath. The Estonian Code of Civil Procedure does not set out many rules on how to evaluate the evidence submitted. The basic rule is that the court has to assess the evidence impartially and as a whole and not give any preference to any particular piece of evidence.
