Abstract

Les Folies-Bergère est « le symbole » de la vie parisienne. L'étrangeté des corps, l'exhibition de « curiosités » créent l'engouement du public. Les Folies-Bergère « plus grand music-hall parisien », constitue un miroir intéressant de l'époque. Lieu mythique, il est le modèle de ses concurrents comme le Casino de Paris ou l'Olympia. Il est l'endroit où l'étrangeté des corps, et l'exhibition de « curiosités » créent l'engouement du public. Femmes-canon, hercules ou géants, dompteurs noirs, acrobates chinois, danseuses orientales ont connu une gloire souvent éphémère en proposant un numéro exceptionnel ou exotique, avec ce sentiment d'étrangeté qui en émane.

Abstract

China, with the world's largest population, numerous ethnic groups and vast geographical space, is also rich in languages. Since 2006, China's State Language Commission has been publishing annual reports on what is called "language life" in China. These reports cover language policy and planning invitatives at the national, provincial and local levels, new trends in language use in a variety of social domains, and major events concerning languages in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Now for the first time, these reports are available in English for anyone interested in Chinese languge and linguistics, China's languge, education and social policies, as well as everyday language use among the ordinary people in China. The invaluable data contained in these reports provide an essential reference to researchers, professionals, policy makers, and China watchers.

Abstract

In less than a decade, the Internet went from being a series of loosely connected networks used by universities and the military to the powerful commercial engine it is today. This book describes how many of the key innovations that made this possible came from entrepreneurs and iconoclasts who were outside the mainstream--and how the commercialization of the Internet was by no means a foregone conclusion at its outset. Shane Greenstein traces the evolution of the Internet from government ownership to privatization to the commercial Internet we know today. This is a story of innovation from the edges. Greenstein shows how mainstream service providers that had traditionally been leaders in the old-market economy became threatened by innovations from industry outsiders who saw economic opportunities where others didn't--and how these mainstream firms had no choice but to innovate themselves. New models were tried: some succeeded, some failed. Commercial markets turned innovations into valuable products and services as the Internet evolved in those markets. New business processes had to be created from scratch as a network originally intended for research and military defense had to deal with network interconnectivity, the needs of commercial users, and a host of challenges with implementing innovative new services. How the Internet Became Commercial demonstrates how, without any central authority, a unique and vibrant interplay between government and private industry transformed the Internet
