Download or read book Utilisation de l habitat par le cerf de Virginie apr s plus d une dizaine d ann es d exclusion sur l le d Anticosti written by Aimie Baribeau and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le broutement sélectif par les grands herbivores peut altérer la composition et la structure végétale d'un milieu. À l'île d'Anticosti (Québec, Canada), la forte densité de cerfs de Virginie (Odocoileus virginianus) broutant le sapin baumier (Abies balsamea) comme ressource hivernale induit une conversion des sapinières en pessières et en landes à épinettes blanches (Picea glauca). Afin de permettre la régénération des sapinières, un plan général d'aménagement intégré des ressources du milieu forestier a été mis en œuvre avec pour stratégie phare la diminution de la densité du cerf de chantiers de coupe clôturés pendant une douzaine d'années. L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer l'utilisation de l'habitat par les cerfs à la suite du démantèlement des exclos. Durant l'été 2020, nous avons distribué un réseau de caméras de surveillance dans six exclos démantelés depuis trois à huit ans afin de déterminer les probabilités d'utilisation de l'habitat restauré par les cerfs selon les attributs de l'habitat. Nous avons aussi récolté des informations sur l'environnement près des caméras notamment la composition en espèces d'arbres ainsi que de la strate végétale au sol. Les probabilités d'utilisation par les cerfs de l'habitat restauré étaient plus élevées lorsque les sites de caméras présentaient une couverture abondante au sol en cornouiller du Canada(Cornus canadensis). Nous avons aussi utilisé des mesures de distances entre les caméras et la bordure des exclos ainsi qu'entre les caméras et les îlots de forêt résiduelle, ainsi que des mesures de superficie d'îlots forestiers comme variables de la configuration spatiale des exclos. Aucune de ces variables n'a expliqué l'utilisation de l'habitat par les cerfs. Nos résultats permettent de mieux comprendre l'utilisation de l'habitat d'été du cerf de Virginie sur l'île d'Anticosti dans un contexte d'aménagement forestier en illustrant l'importance de l'abondance en ressources alimentaires.

Book Managing the Undesirables

Download or read book Managing the Undesirables written by Michel Agier and published by Polity. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Official figures classify some fifty million of the world’s people as 'victims of forced displacement'. Refugees, asylum seekers, disaster victims, the internally displaced and the temporarily tolerated - categories of the excluded proliferate, but many more are left out of count. In the face of this tragedy, humanitarian action increasingly seems the only possible response. On the ground, however, the 'facilities' put in place are more reminiscent of the logic of totalitarianism. In a situation of permanent catastrophe and endless emergency, 'undesirables' are kept apart and out of sight, while the care dispensed is designed to control, filter and confine. How should we interpret the disturbing symbiosis between the hand that cares and the hand that strikes? After seven years of study in the refugee camps, Michel Agier reveals their 'disquieting ambiguity' and stresses the imperative need to take into account forms of improvisation and challenge that are currently transforming the camps, sometimes making them into towns and heralding the emergence of political subjects. A radical critique of the foundations, contexts, and political effects of humanitarian action.

Book Why We Play

  • Release : 2016
  • ISBN : 9780986132568
  • Pages : 343 pages

Download or read book Why We Play written by Roberte Hamayon and published by Hau. This book was released on 2016 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Play is one of humanity's straightforward yet deceitful ideas: though the notion is unanimously agreed upon to be universal, used for man and animal alike, nothing defines what all its manifestations share, from childish playtime to on stage drama, from sporting events to market speculation. Within the author's anthropological field of work (Mongolia and Siberia), playing holds a core position: national holidays are called "Games," echoing in that way the circus games in Ancient Rome and today's Olympics. These games convey ethical values and local identity. Roberte Hamayon bases her analysis of the playing spectrum on their scrutiny. Starting from fighting and dancing, encompassing learning, interaction, emotion and strategy, this study heads towards luck and belief as well as the ambiguity of the relation to fiction and reality. It closes by indicating two features of play: its margin and its metaphorical structure. Ultimately revealing its consistency and coherence, the author displays play as a modality of action of its own. "Playing is no 'doing' in the ordinary sense" once wrote Johan Huizinga. Isn't playing doing something else, elswhere and otherwise ?

Book Food Taboos and Biblical Prohibitions

Download or read book Food Taboos and Biblical Prohibitions written by Peter Altmann and published by . This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents contributions from "The Larger Context of the Biblical Food Prohibitions: Comparative and Interdisciplinary Approaches" conference held in Lausanne in June, 2017. The biblical food prohibitions constitute an excellent object for comparative and interdisciplinary approaches given their materiality, their nature as comparative objects between cultures, and their nature as an anthropological object. This volume articulates these three aspects within an integrated and dynamic perspective, bringing together contributions from Levantine archaeology, ancient Near Eastern studies, and anthropological and textual perspectives to form a new, multi-disciplinary foundation for interpretation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 Abbott Lowell Cummings prize from the Vernacular Architecture Forum Winner of the 2015 Sprio Kostof Book Award from the Society of Architectural Historians Winner of the 2016 International Planning History Society Book Prize for European Planning History Honorable Mention: 2016 Wylie Prize in French Studies In the three decades following World War II, the French government engaged in one of the twentieth century’s greatest social and architectural experiments: transforming a mostly rural country into a modernized urban nation. Through the state-sanctioned construction of mass housing and development of towns on the outskirts of existing cities, a new world materialized where sixty years ago little more than cabbage and cottages existed. Known as the banlieue, the suburban landscapes that make up much of contemporary France are near-opposites of the historic cities they surround. Although these postwar environments of towers, slabs, and megastructures are often seen as a single utopian blueprint gone awry, Kenny Cupers demonstrates that their construction was instead driven by the intense aspirations and anxieties of a broad range of people. Narrating the complex interactions between architects, planners, policy makers, inhabitants, and social scientists, he shows how postwar dwelling was caught between the purview of the welfare state and the rise of mass consumerism. The Social Project unearths three decades of architectural and social experiments centered on the dwelling environment as it became an object of modernization, an everyday site of citizen participation, and a domain of social scientific expertise. Beyond state intervention, it was this new regime of knowledge production that made postwar modernism mainstream. The first comprehensive history of these wide-ranging urban projects, this book reveals how housing in postwar France shaped both contemporary urbanity and modern architecture.

Book Facing Gaia

  • Author : Bruno Latour
  • Publisher : John Wiley & Sons
  • Release : 2017-09-05
  • ISBN : 0745684351
  • Pages : 300 pages

Download or read book Facing Gaia written by Bruno Latour and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of modern sciences in the seventeenth century profoundly renewed our understanding of nature. For the last three centuries new ideas of nature have been continually developed by theology, politics, economics, and science, especially the sciences of the material world. The situation is even more unstable today, now that we have entered an ecological mutation of unprecedented scale. Some call it the Anthropocene, but it is best described as a new climatic regime. And a new regime it certainly is, since the many unexpected connections between human activity and the natural world oblige every one of us to reopen the earlier notions of nature and redistribute what had been packed inside. So the question now arises: what will replace the old ways of looking at nature? This book explores a potential candidate proposed by James Lovelock when he chose the name 'Gaia' for the fragile, complex system through which living phenomena modify the Earth. The fact that he was immediately misunderstood proves simply that his readers have tried to fit this new notion into an older frame, transforming Gaia into a single organism, a kind of giant thermostat, some sort of New Age goddess, or even divine Providence. In this series of lectures on 'natural religion,' Bruno Latour argues that the complex and ambiguous figure of Gaia offers, on the contrary, an ideal way to disentangle the ethical, political, theological, and scientific aspects of the now obsolete notion of nature. He lays the groundwork for a future collaboration among scientists, theologians, activists, and artists as they, and we, begin to adjust to the new climatic regime.
