Download or read book Municipal Services and Employees in the Modern City written by Michèle Dagenais and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Municipal Services and Employees in the Modern City considers the roles played by local institutions and particular processes that shaped the urban fabric. It rediscovers from models and maps the constituent dynamics of cities since the beginning of the nineteenth century, and demonstrates how patterns evolved in the way services and locations were organized; how urban transformation was underpinned by structural development, and how the municipal workforce became an integral part of the agencies of change. Municipal Services and Employees in the Modern City suggests that municipal experiences are central to the development of urban studies. Its focus of analysis ranges across Europe and the Americas from high-ranking bureaucrats to firefighters, engineers to accountants, and town clerks to public servants. Each essay provides detailed information on how change was formulated or resisted within the administrative apparatus, offering insight into a sector of the 'white-collar' class and the degree of commitment to public values often at times of social and political upheaval. They explore the course of relationships between local and central government, and the shifting bounds of municipal interventionism over a broad period; whilst incorporating a social history approach to interpret the day-to-day responsibilities and routine of administration.

Download or read book Principles of French Law written by John Bell and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of French Law offers a comprehensive introduction to French law and the French legal system in terms which a common lawyer can understand. The authors give an explanation of the institutions, rules and techniques that characterize the major branches of French law. The chapters provide the reader with a clear sense of the questions that French lawyers see as important and how they would answer them. In the ten years since the publication of the first edition, French law has changed in significant ways. European Union law and the European Convention on Human Rights have had a significant impact, especially on procedural law and family law. There has been a new Commercial Code, major legislation on divorce, succession and criminal law, as well as significant developments in the Constitution. In addition, there have been considerable developments in the case-law and a much discussed proposal for reform of major areas of the law of obligations. The chapters present not only the rules of law, but, where appropriate, the principles and values underlying the system. Considerable use is made of juristic literature and of examples from French case law. The book is designed for students studying French law at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and as preliminary reading for students about to study in France. It will also serve as an initial point of reference for scholars embarking on a study of French law.

Download or read book Lexique Fran ais Anglais Services aux personnes written by Céline Dudouet and published by Educagri Editions. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le secteur des services à la personne est en plein essor en France et en Europe. Il offre une grande diversité de métiers d'avenir et les offres d'emplois abondent. Ses acteurs travaillent aujourd'hui avec des publics de tous horizons, et peuvent aussi être amenés à se déplacer à l'étranger : c'est pourquoi l'anglais est devenu un atout certain et une compétence recherchée afin de répondre aux besoins de tous types de publics. Enseignantes dans la filière SAPAT (Services aux personnes et aux territoires), les auteures ont conçu ce livret pour accompagner leur pédagogie ainsi que les démarches professionnelles en anglais, de plus en plus fréquentes dans leurs formations. Ce lexique s'adresse à toutes les personnes en lien avec les différents secteurs des services : apprenants (du CAP au BTS, préparation aux concours et écoles de formation aux métiers des secteurs paramédicaux et sociaux), professionnels, et enseignants/formateurs pour un prolongement de leur pédagogie lorsqu'ils sont conduits à travailler sur du vocabulaire technique et professionnel et lors de la mise en place d'actions en collaboration avec des interlocuteurs anglophones. Il s'agit là d'un outil de formation - en aucun cas d'un manuel scolaire -, qui intervient en complément des cours dans le but d'aider à développer la communication en anglais dans le secteur des services. Le vocabulaire et les expressions les plus récurrents et les plus usités dans le domaine de spécialisation sont regroupés, selon les différents domaines d'intervention, en 10 chapitres : 1. Les publics ; 2. Organismes et professionnels ; 3. Les besoins ; 4. Le confort corporel de la personne ; 5. Le confort matériel ; 6. La nutrition ; 7. La santé ; 8. La vie quotidienne ; 9. Le cadre d'intervention ; 10. Milieu rural et territoire. Le contenu n'est pas exhaustif, tant ce secteur est vaste. Afin de faciliter la recherche de termes précis dans l'une ou l'autre langue, sont proposés en fin de lexique un index alphabétique français et un index alphabétique anglais. Ce lexique vous accompagnera dans vos études, dans votre formation professionnelle, dans vos déplacements à l'étranger (voyages, séjours, stages), et vous aidera à communiquer plus facilement en anglais dans votre secteur professionnel.

Download or read book Architecture in Nineteenth Century Photographs written by Micheline Nilsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing that nineteenth-century photography goes beyond the functional to reflect the aesthetic, intellectual, and cultural concerns of the time, this study proposes that each photographic image of architecture be studied both as a primary visual document and an object of aesthetic inquiry. This multi-faceted approach drives Architecture in Nineteenth-Century Photographs: Essays on Reading a Collection. Despite three decades of post-colonial, post-structuralist and gender-conscious criticism, the study of architectural photography continues to privilege technical virtuosity. This volume offers a thematic exploration of the material, and a socio-historical examination that allows consideration of questions that have not been addressed comprehensively before in a single publication. Themes include exoticism and "armchair tourism"; the absence of women from architectural photography; the role of photographs as commodities; vernacular architecture and the picturesque; and historic preservation, urban renewal, and nationalism. Micheline Nilsen analyzes photographs from France and England?the two countries where photography was invented?and from around the world, representing a corpus of over 10,000 photographs from the Janos Scholz Collection of Nineteenth-Century Photographs of the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame.
Download or read book Urban Secularism written by Julia Martínez-Ariño and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While French laïcité is often considered something fixed, its daily deployment is rather messy. What might we learn if we study the governance of religion from a dynamic bottom-up perspective? Using an ethnographic approach, this book examines everyday secularism in the making. How do city actors understand, frame and govern religious diversity? Which local factors play a role in those processes? In Urban Secularism: Negotiating Religious Diversity in Europe, Julia Martínez-Ariño brings the reader closer to the entrails of laïcité. She provides detailed accounts of the ways religious groups, city officials, municipal employees, secularist actors and other civil-society organisations negotiate concrete public expressions of religion. Drawing on rich empirical material, the book demonstrates that urban actors draw and (re-)produce dichotomies of inclusion and exclusion, and challenge static conceptions of laïcité and the nation. Illustrating how urban, national and international contexts interact with one another, the book provides researchers with a deeper understanding of the multilevel governance of religious diversity.
Download or read book Urban Africa and Violent Conflict written by Karen Büscher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban centres are at the heart of the dynamics of war and peace, of stability and violence: as ‘safe havens’ for those seeking protection, as concentrations of public administrative and military apparatus, and as symbolic bases of state sovereignty and public authority. Heavy fighting in South Sudan’s capital city of Juba, post electoral protests and brutal killings in Bujumbura, Burundi, and violent urban uprisings in Congo’s cities of Goma and Kinshasa, all demonstrate that cities represent critical arenas in African conflict and post-conflict dynamics. This comprehensive volume offers a profound analysis of the complex relationship between the dynamics of violent conflict and urbanisation in Central and Eastern Africa. The authors underline the need to look simultaneously at cities to understand ongoing conflict and violence, and at conflict-dynamics to understand current urbanisation processes in this part of the world. Building on empirical and analytical insights from cities in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, South Sudan and Kenya, this collection demonstrates how emerging urbanism in the larger Great-Lakes region and its Eastern neighbours presents a fascinating window to investigate the transformative power of protracted violent conflict. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Eastern African Studies.
