Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The contributions collected in this volume are linked by a common thread: the development of Africa is a problem that must be faced and solved by the peoples of the continent, with the aim of consolidating democracy and guaranteeing a future of growth and progressive improvement in the quality of life. However, Europe has a role and a responsibility in this process: after having imposed on Africa the model of the bureaucratic and centralized national state, Europe today can represent a model of integration, on the economic field and, in perspective, on the political terrain. Beyond this, Europe must offer a partnership with the African Union to start a Green New Deal for Europe and Africa together, with the allocation of financial resources, but also technology transfers and infrastructure creation. But in this partnership for growth the initiative must be entrusted to African countries, as was the case for Europe in the case of the Marshall Plan. Europe must impose as a sole condition that their plan be drawn up in common and placed in the perspective of strengthening the process of economic and political integration already started on the Continent. After having imposed on Africa the model of the bureaucratic and centralized national state, Europe today can represent a model of integration and must offer a partnership relationship with Africa to start a Green New Deal, with the allocation of financial resources, but also technology transfers and infrastructure creation.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Museums are increasingly developing international strategies to raise their profiles outside of their home markets. How can we define this trend? This book is based on a multiple correspondence analysis of a database populated by the results of a survey conducted by the author on international museums. The study reveals that museums fall into four categories regarding their internationalization strategies and can have two complementary international strategies: one geared toward economic profitability and one geared toward the preservation of heritage. However, traditional business models for museums are currently facing challenges from a decline in public subsidies, uncertainty surrounding private donations and stagnant ticket sales. The author argues that the internationalization of museums is having an impact on the historical models and is contributing to the evolution of these business models. Two case studies, of the Victoria & Albert Museum (London, UK) and the Musee des Arts et Metiers (Paris, France), provide particular insights into the international characteristics and practices of museums.

Originalbroschur. Etat : Sehr gut. 241 S. Einband leicht berieben. - Taking its cue from Eugene O'Neill's questioning of «faithful realism», voiced by Edmund Tyrone in Long Day's Journey into Night, this book examines the distant legacy of the Irish American playwright in contemporary multiethnic drama in the U.S. It explores the labyrinth of formal devices through which African American, Latina/o, First Nations, and Asian American dramatists have unconsciously reinterpreted O'Neill's questioning of mimesis. In their works, hybridizations of stage realism function as aesthetic celebrations of the spiritual potentialities of cultural in-betweenness. This volume provides detailed analyses of over forty plays authored by such key artists as August Wilson, Suzan-Lori Parks, José Rivera, Cherríe Moraga, Hanay Geiogamah, Diane Glancy, David Henry Hwang, and Chay Yew, to give only a few prominent examples. All in all, Labyrinth of Hybridities invites its readers to reassess the cross-cultural patterns characterizing the history of twentieth century American drama.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Almost sixty years after the signature of the Treaty of Rome in 1957 creating the European Community), a Member-State, the United Kingdom, has for the first time in history decided to leave the European Union. The "yes" to leave vote during the British referendum on 26 June 2016 led to the use of Article 50 of the EU Treaty triggering off a long period of negotiations between the UK and the EU, which was overshadowed by a permanent struggle between the options of a "deal" or a "no-deal". The Withdrawal Agreement was finally signed on 24 January 2020 and Brexit actually took place on 31 January 2020 more than three and a half years after the referendum. It is not surprising that a lot of analyses have been put forward to explain the British electoral result, mainly from the perspective of political sociology. However, there has been less research so far on the deeper roots of Brexit as a historical and political process and its development from the start of the referendum campaign until the end of the negotiations between the UK and the EU, nor on its possible social, economic, legal and (geo)political consequences. In order to examine the origins and consequences of Brexit, this publication develops two original perspectives. On the one hand, it has taken a pluridisciplinary approach comparing the point of views of sociologists, political scientists, legal experts and historians. On the other hand, it has adopted a global approach by comparing the analyses of Japanese, Canadian, American and European researchers. These "Global Views on Brexit" regroup the contributions to an international Conference on "The Consequences of Brexit" organised on 6-7 December 2018 in Strasbourg, in the framework of the Jean Monnet project on Crises in European Border Regions supported by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union (EU) for the period from 2018-2020. In order to examine the origins and consequences of Brexit, this publication develops two original perspectives: a pluridisciplinary approach comparing the point of views of sociologists, political scientists, legal experts and historians. and a global approach by comparing the analyses of Japanese, Canadian, American and European researchers.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The assessment of the challenges of digital platforms for cultural industries raises many different issues. How platforms choices in content pricing affect the overall value of cultural markets, especially in the case where content just aim at favoring devices sales? How are revenues shared between platforms and content right holders? Do creators and artists all benefit from the growth of digital platforms? How usual business models of cultural industries have to adapt to the digital paradigm? Should we observe rather a reinforcement of the star system or the emergence of a long tail? What is the impact on market concentration? Could we expect an increase or a decrease in cultural diversity? What is the role played by recommender systems, playlists and algorithms in influencing consumers choices? How to implement efficient public policies given the transnational dimension of digital platforms? The various papers gathered in this book contribute further to these different topics with a focus on empirical issues. The first part gathers the contributions dealing with the analysis of the impact that digital platforms have on the incumbent or legacy players of the original value chain of content industries: content providers, live entertainment producers, consumers, etc. The second part opens the black box of the ecosystem of digital platforms by studying competition among them and among the business models they adopt, as well as the conditions for the emergence of new players. Cet ouvrage reunit des contributions etudiant limpact des plateformes numeriques sur les industries culturelles. Il insiste sur deux dimensions. Comment sont affectes les acteurs traditionnels des industries culturels ? Quels sont les conditions demergence et les modeles economiques adoptes par ces plateformes numeriques culturelles ?

La « question du Québec » se pose dès l¿adoption de l¿Acte de l¿Amérique du Nord britannique en 1867 et n¿a jamais cessé depuis de mobiliser le débat constitutionnel au Canada. Réactivée pendant la Révolution tranquille dans les années 1960, elle n¿a pas trouvé la réponse attendue. Depuis le rapatriement de la Constitution canadienne initié en 1981 et mis en ¿uvre en 1982 par Pierre Elliott Trudeau, l¿imbroglio constitutionnel est dans l¿impasse. L¿esprit de réconciliation ou de compromis s¿évanouit suite à l¿échec de l¿Accord du lac Meech (1990) et de l¿Accord de Charlottetown (1992). Depuis deux décennies le dialogue de sourds entre le Québec et le Canada semble s¿être fossilisé. Est-il encore envisageable de trouver une solution acceptable pour dépasser la dualité fondatrice du Canada ? L¿objectif de ce livre est d¿explorer les termes du débat social, politique et constitutionnel autour de la « question du Québec » telle que celleci a été posée par les acteurs sociaux et politiques tant au Québec que dans le reste du Canada. Ce livre met en lumière la complexité de la crise constitutionnelle canadienne. Contenu : Pierre Hamel et Jean-Michel Lacroix : Le Québec et le Canada. De la crise constitutionnelle à des accommodements improbables : peut-on sortir de l¿impasse politique et constitutionnelle ? ¿ Philip Resnick : Le Canada : une fédération territoriale ou multinationale ? ¿ Réjean Pelletier : Le renouvellement de la fédération canadienne. Quand l¿immobilisme tient lieu de politique ¿ Gérard Boismenu : A-t-on toujours quelque chose à se dire ? Quand les références de la communication politique fichent le camp ¿ Joseph Yvon Thériault : L¿épuisement des sources endogènes du fédéralisme canadien ¿ Dimitri Bonnet : Le Bloc québécois et l¿unité nationale (1990-2011) ¿ Caroline Andrew : Les métropoles dans le système politique canadien ¿ Bob Young: Quebec and Canada: Associated States ¿ Éric Montpetit : Pour une approche incrémentale plutôt que visionnaire du fédéralisme canadien.

Since "buffer zones" were introduced in the late 1970s as a complementary protection layer to World Heritage sites, the dimensions of heritage have changed significantly; from physical to intangible, from defined to diffused. Now, buffers can present all these different characters, even at the same time. Using buffers as the main connection thread, this book is a collection of complementary studies that explore the contemporary challenges in heritage definition and management. With a focus on European and Asian historical territories, this book tracks umbrella terms, from their genesis inside international discussions and cultural exchanges, to their specific interpretation in top-down on-site strategies. Then, it originally complements and verifies these official management models with the study of local realities and parallel bottom-up actions that have emerged to fill major gaps in this system. With this, the book underlines the negative impacts of isolated biased strategies, and addresses the call of local intermediate groups and communities for integrated efforts.
