Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C'est un défi de taille, pour les archivistes, les bibliothécaires, les muséologues ou les documentalistes spécialisés, de conserver la mémoire et la trace du spectacle vivant, dans une société où les techniques évoluent sans cesse. Les techniques d'enregistrement audiovisuel et les supports pour conserver les images se sont modifiés. La mise en valeur de nouveaux médias est une gageure dans la conception des expositions. Enfin, les pratiques de recherche et l'essor conjoint des bases de données ont modifié la donne. Tels sont les nombreux sujets de réflexion qui se sont offerts aux membres de la SIBMAS (Société internationale des bibliothèques et musées des arts du spectacle) lors de son 25e Congrès, qui s'est tenu à Barcelone en 2004. En voici les Actes qui, par des approches diverses, tenteront d'éclairer ces interrogations. In a world where technologies are constantly evolving, it is a real challenge for archivists, librarians, museum curators and information professionals to keep track of and record living theatre. Audiovisual recording techniques are now cheap and accessible to many; electronic storage and dissemination of information and images has radically altered the relationship between the managers of collections and their potential users; new techniques have introduced new possibilities for interactivity in exhibitions and displays. These are just some of the issues addressed by the SIBMAS (International Association of Libraries and Museum of the Performing Arts) during its 25thAnnual Conference, held in Barcelona in 2004.
Download or read book Anticommunism in French Society and Politics 1945 1953 written by Aaron Clift and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anticommunism in French Society and Politics, 1945-1953 evaluates the prevalence of anticommunism among the French population in 1945 to 1953, and examines its causes, character, and consequences through a series of case studies on different segments of French society. These include the scouting movement; family organisations; agricultural associations; middle-class groups; and trade unions and other working-class organisations. Aaron Clift contends that anticommunism was more widespread and deeply rooted than previously believed, and had a substantial impact on national politics and on these social groups and organisations. Furthermore, he argues that the study of anticommunism allows us a deeper understanding of the values they regarded as the most important to defend. Although anticommunism was a diverse phenomenon, this work identifies common discourses, including portrayals of communism as a threat to the nation; the colonial empire; the traditional family; private property; religion; the rural world; and Western civilisation. It also highlights common aims (such as the rehabilitation of wartime collaborators) and tactics (such as the invocation of apoliticism). While acknowledging the importance of the Cold War, it rejects the assumption that anticommunism was an American import or foreign to French society and demonstrates links between anticommunism and anti-Americanism. It concludes that anticommunism drew its strength from the connection or even conflation of communism with perceived negative social changes that were seen to threaten traditional French civilisation, interacting with the postwar international and domestic environment and the personal experiences of individual anticommunists.
Download or read book Globalisation Higher Education the Labour Market and Inequality written by Antonia Kupfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalisation, Higher Education, the Labour Market and Inequality addresses the global transformation of higher education in relation to changes in the labour market. It focuses on the relative impact of elements of globalisation on social inequality, and provides insights into the ways in which these general forces of change are transformed into specific policies shaped by global forces and the various national values, institutional structures and politics of the specified societies. The book begins with a theoretical conceptualization for a comparative understanding of globalization, higher education, labour markets and inequality. This is followed by a range of mainstream accounts from an international selection of contributors of the ways in which national systems have responded to the forces of globalisation and the increasing demand for higher education graduates – in Australia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, New Zealand and the UK. Finally, contributors explore more specific concerns such as the transition from higher education to the labour market in China and Sweden, the division of the ‘knowledge’ workers into traditional social groups in the US, and the role and salience of Doctoral programmes in South Africa in developing a knowledge economy. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Education and Work.

Download or read book Regions and Regional Planning written by Thomas Perrin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the making and transforming of regions and territorial organisation, which are significant activities for policy makers and planners. It focuses on the regional, intermediate scale and gathers contributions by researchers from various European universities, especially at a time when there is a renewed interest for regions, regionalisation and regional planning. The different chapters in this edited volume deliver insightful theoretical approaches and documented empirical case studies. The recent reform that redrew and reorganized regions in France is of particular interest. Other contributions enrich the reflection about territorial reforms and changes by analysing situations in Italy, Poland, United Kingdom – notably the issue of planning city-regions or metropolitan areas. This volume provides a comparative view of the impact of territorial reforms on planning policies and explores the evolution of regional settings in Europe. It also confirms region as a fundamental scale and an essential instrument to organise and develop societies and territories. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal European Planning Studies.
Download or read book History and Context in Comparative Public Policy written by Douglas E. Ashford and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Douglas E. Ashford joins a growing number of scholars who have questioned the behavioralist assumptions of much policy science. The essays in this volume show why policy analysis cannot be confined to prevailing methods of social science. Policy-making behavior involves historical, contextual, and philosophical factors that also raise critical questions about the concepts and theory of the discipline. Ashford asks difficult questions about the contextual, conjunctural, and unintentional circumstances that affect actual decision-making. His bridging essays summarize opposing viewpoints and conflicting interpretations to help form a new agenda for comparative policy analysis.

Download or read book The Legacy of the Baby Boomers or the French Social System written by Marie-Claire Patron and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to identify key factors influencing the increasing brain drain of French early and mid-career graduates primarily to Anglo-Saxon countries in order to avoid the inexorable outcome of their tertiary studies: precarious employment conditions relegating them to the status of intellectual underclass in France. This qualitative ethnographic study investigated the experiences of 38 French nationals and expatriates aged between 21 and 48 to provide a voice to the increasing number of students and graduates who despair at the thought of witnessing their years of study culminate in a perennial cycle of training, unemployment, internship. What distinguishes the French from their European counterparts who also struggle to secure employment and a decent future? These unprecedented circumstances in Europe are as a result of the global financial crisis and the current sovereign debt predicament. Who is responsible for the quandary in which French graduates find themselves in the stratified French society of today, where globalisation has made academic mobility de rigueur? France risks losing her talented Generation X to more accepting countries where a spirit of meritocracy exists and economic rewards are awarded after years of tertiary education and assiduousness. A large number of constituents belonging to Baby Boomer Generation are ensconced in comfortable government positions or are established in lucrative careers reserved for the upper echelons of the privileged classes. Are the Baby Boomers to blame for the predicament of Generation X, for failing to transmit intergenerational equality to subsequent generations? Will the new government deliver on the promises to grant France’s youth the economic rewards they deserve, and the respect and equality that the previous generation have taken for granted?

Download or read book Adapting Universities to the Global Society written by Charles F. Bonser and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2009 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions of this volume are based on the colloquium "Adapting universities to the global society - a transatlantic perspective," held by the Transatlantic Policy Consortium on the Bloomington Campus of Indiana University in September 2007. The 12 provocative papers investigate the impacts of globalization and global competition on the performance, mission, role and shape of American and European universities, identify the differences between American and European universities regarding societal support, research, management and leadership, examine ways of closing the gaps and meeting university quality challenges, and assess the values of the Bologna Process and the changing nature of university governance. The volume provides a unique insight into these problems from a European and US perspective.
Download or read book Springtime written by Clare Solomon and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autumn and winter of 2010 saw an unprecedented wave of student protests across the UK, in response to the coalition government’s savage cuts in state funding for higher education, cuts which formed the basis for an ideological attack on the nature of education itself. Involving universities and schools, occupations, sit-ins and demonstrations, these protests spread with remarkable speed. Rather than a series of isolated incidents, they formed part of a growing movement that spans much of the Western world and is now spreading into North Africa. Ever since the Wall Street crash of 2008 there has been increasing social and political turbulence in the heartlands of capital. From the US to Europe, students have been in the vanguard of protest against their governments’ harsh austerity measures. Tracing these worldwide protests, this new book explores how the protests spread and how they were organized, through the unprecedented use of social networking media such as Facebook and Twitter. It looks, too, at events on the ground, the demonstrations, and the police tactics: kettling, cavalry charges and violent assault. From Athens to Rome, San Francisco to London and, most recently, Tunis, this new book looks at how the new student protests developed into a strong and challenging movement that demands another way to run the world. Consisting largely of the voices that participated in the struggle, Springtime will become an essential point of reference as the uprising continues.
