Download or read book Travel Writing and Cultural Memory criture du voyage et m moire culturelle written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume looks at the relation between travel writing and cultural memory from a variety of perspectives, ranging from theoretical concerns with genres and conventions to detailed analyses of single texts. As befits the topic, the contributions roam far and wide, both geographically and historically. Some detail early Portuguese voyages of discovery, particularly to the East. Others depict encounters between Early, and not so early, Modern Western travelers and their Other interlocutors. Still others focus on travel writings as literature. Voyages and voyaging in literature form the subject of the last category of essays gathered here. Amongst the authors discussed are Fernão Mendes Pinto, Jean de Sponde, Furtado de Mendonça, Sor Juana Inéz de la Cruz, Elsa Morante, Ingeborg Bachmann, Sophia Andresen, Paul Claudel, Graham Greene, Valéry Larbaud, David Mourão-Ferreira, J.M.G. le Clézio, José Saramago, Michel Leiris, and Claude Lévi-Strauss. The volume concludes with an essay by the French-Lebanese author Salah Stétié.

Book excerpt: Ce mémoire s'intéresse aux différentes conceptions des "savoirs traditionnels" dans le champ des théories du développement, et cherche à déceler le potentiel alternatif de ces savoirs pour le champ du développement (théorique et pratique), un champ marqué par l'actuelle "crise du développement". Les écoles classiques constituant le paradigme dominant y sont d'abord présentées, soit l'école de la modernisation et l'école de la dépendance, avec leur conception du monde et du développement basée avant tout sur la croissance, leurs fondements et a priori quant aux sociétés du Sud et aux savoirs traditionnels. La critique du paradigme dominant, considérée comme une "nébuleuse critique" est aussi présentée avec ses principaux thèmes. L'auteure en vient finalement à montrer l'insuffisance du paradigme développementiste pour aborder les savoirs traditionnels comme une ressource éventuelle pour le développement, en raison de son ethnocentrisme et de ses postulats. Ensuite, une revue de la littérature de quatre courants critiques est effectuée, de façon à trouver une nouvelle interprétation du lien entre les variables "savoirs traditionnels" et "développement". L'écoféminisme, le capitalisme cognitif, l'ethnodéveloppement et le post-développement sont ici considérés comme des courants qui remettent en cause les a priori développementistes entourant les savoirs, la science, la tradition, la modernisation, la culture. Particulièrement, le post-développement constitue le principal apport subversif quant au développement, déconstruisant les mythes entourant ce concept et le présentant comme un projet idéologique ethnocentrique. Il représente aussi en quelque sorte l'aboutissement des trois autres courants, reprenant les mêmes thèmes mais en prônant une sortie de l'ère développementiste. Enfin, de façon à vérifier et nuancer certains concepts et certaines pistes d'analyse issus de la littérature critique, l'auteure effectue quatre entretiens avec des représentant d'initiatives loc.
Download or read book Measuring African Development written by Morten Jerven and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chief economist for the World Bank's Africa region, Shanta Devarajan, delivered a devastating assessment of the capacity of African states to measure development in his 2013 article "Africa's Statistical Tragedy". Is there a "statistical tragedy" unfolding in Africa now? If so then examining the roots of the problem of provision of statistics in poor economies is certainly of great importance. This book on measuring African development in the past and in the present draws on the historical experience of colonial French West Africa, Ghana, Sudan, Mauritania and Tanzania and the more contemporary experiences of Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The authors each reflect on the changing ways statistics represent African economies and how they are used to govern them. This bookw as published as a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Development Studies.

Download or read book Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa written by Fred Eboko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa examines how the interplay between national state dynamics in Africa and the global political arena has shaped the global AIDS response, and in this context develops a framework for analysing public policy action more broadly in contemporary Africa. By applying comparative political sociology to AIDS public action, this book identifies four political models that are applicable to public initiatives. Fred Eboko goes on to test these in other domains – namely, the malaria and tuberculosis health subsectors, and the education and environment sectors. By articulating global and national connections and contributing a critical perspective grounded in African scholarship and French political science, the author builds a bold and ambitious framework with the potential to enable coherent and effective public policy action in Africa. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of public health, global health, political science, and development studies, as well as policy-level practitioners in the areas of global health and development.

Download or read book Anthropology and Development written by Jean-Pierre Oliver De-Sardan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-establishes the relevance of mainstream anthropological (and sociological) approaches to development processes and simultaneously recognizes that contemporary development ought to be anthropology's principal area of study. Professor de Sardan argues for a socio-anthropology of change and development that is a deeply empirical, multidimensional, diachronic study of social groups and their interactions. The Introduction provides a thought-provoking examination of the principal new approaches that have emerged in the discipline during the 1990s. Part I then makes clear the complexity of social change and development, and the ways in which socio-anthropology can measure up to the challenge of this complexity. Part II looks more closely at some of the leading variables involved in the development process, including relations of production; the logics of social action; the nature of knowledge; forms of mediation; and 'political' strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time, the dynamics of urban and coastal areas have been the focus of administrators and decision makers in charge of public policy in order to better take into account anthropogenic pressure and the impact of climate change. This volume presents applications of remote sensing in urban environments and coastal zones, including the use of remote sensing in city planning (urban expansion, light pollution, air quality, etc.), observation of the properties of ocean color, the study of coastal dynamics (identifying coastlines and estimating sediment balances, etc.) and analysis of the dynamics of mangroves. This book, part of a set of six volumes, has been produced by scientists who are internationally renowned in their fields. It is addressed to students (engineers, Masters, PhD), engineers and scientists, specialists in remote sensing applied to the coastal environment and urban areas.Through this pedagogical work, the authors contribute to breaking down the barriers that hinder the use of Earth observation data. - Clear-and-concise descriptions of modern methods of remote sensing for a variety of applications - Explores the most current remote sensing techniques, with physical aspects of their measurement (theory) - Presents physical principles, measurement, and data processing chapters that are provided for each technique described
