Download or read book The Environment in French and Francophone Literature and Film written by Jeff Persels and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2012 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 39 of FLS French Literature Series features ten articles on the topic of the environment in French and Francophone Literature and Film. Contributors engage with the work of such authors, filmakers and cartoonists as Michel Serres, Luc Ferry, Patrice Nganang, Marie Darrieussecq, Yann-Arthus Bertrand and Plantu, and such topics as human zoos, eco-colonialism, queer theory, and the environmental catastrophes of WWI and, globally, of human civilization as recorded in the recent eco-documentary, HOME. Wide-ranging, provocative and topical these articles both broaden and deepen the efficacy of ecocriticism as a tool for enriching our understanding of the field beyond the English and American “nature writing” at the theory’s core.
Download or read book Forestry in the Midst of Global Changes written by Christine Farcy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forestry today, like many other sectors that traditionally rely on material goods, faces significant global drivers of societal change that are less often addressed than the environmental concerns commonly in the spotlight of scientific, political, and news media. There are three major interconnected issues that are challenging forestry at its foundation: urbanization, tertiarization, and globalization. These issues are at the core of this book. The urbanization of society, a process in development from the first steps of industrialization, is particularly significant today with the predominance and quick growth rate of the world’s urban population. Ongoing urbanization is creating new perspectives on forestry, inducing changes in its social representation, and changing lifestyles and practices with a tendency toward dematerialization. The process of urbanization is also creating a disconnect and in some ways is leaving behind rurality, the sector of society where forestry has traditionally developed and taken place over centuries. The second issue covered in this book is the tertiarization of the economy. In society today, the sector of services largely dominates the economy and occupies the major part of the world’s active population. This ongoing process modifies professional modalities and ways of life and opens new doors to forests through the immaterial goods they provide. It also profoundly changes the framework, rules, processes, means of production, exchanges between economic factors, and the processes of innovation. The third issue is undoubtedly globalization in its economic, political, and social components. Whether it’s through bridging distances, crossing borders, accelerating changes, standardizing practices, leveling hierarchical structures, or pushing for interdependence, globalization impacts everyone, everywhere in multiple ways. Forestry is no exception. Forestry in the Midst of Global Changes focuses on these global drivers of change from the perspective of their relationships with how society functions. By analyzing them in depth through multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and even transdisciplinary approaches, this book is helping to design the forestry of tomorrow.

Download or read book Environmental Ethics written by Bob Jickling and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-constructed, and highly original, sourcebook integrates educational materials for teaching environmental ethics with theoretical reflections. The book is set to contribute immensely to its aim of taking ethics out of philosophy departments and putting it into the streets, into villages, and on the Earth—to make ethics an everyday activity, not something left to experts and specialists. Context-based activities are presented in almost every chapter. While it acknowledges foundational theories in environmental ethics, and the work that they continue to do, it wholeheartedly embraces a growing body of literature that emphasises contextual, process-oriented, and place-based approaches to ethical reflection, deliberation, and action. It walks on the ground and isn’t afraid to get a little dirty or to seek joy in earthly relationships. And it ultimately breaks with much Western academic tradition by framing “ethics in a storied world”, thus making room to move beyond Euro-American perspectives in environmental issues. This work will be of interest to school teachers and other non-formal and informal educators, teacher educators, college instructors, university professors, and other professionals who wish to bring environmental ethics to the forefront of their pedagogical practices.

This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La montée des préoccupations environnementales coïncide avec la facilité d'accès à des éléments de connaissance qui sont censés favoriser une perception plus aiguë des problématiques écologiques. Or, cela ne suffit pas à générer des comportements plus responsables envers la nature et les générations à venir. Il est nécessaire de reconsidérer la question environnementale à l'heure de nouvelles médiations informationnelles pour pouvoir composer un monde commun avec une pluralité de régimes d'attention. Les analyses transdisciplinaires qui composent cet ouvrage abordent ensemble les conflits interprétatifs relatifs aux problèmes environnementaux et les environnements médiatiques, dans toute leur hétérogénéité et leur nouveauté. L'analyse de l'exposition des subjectivités individuelles et collectives aux flux informationnels permet ici de mieux comprendre ce que serait une gouvernance réflexive. Conflits des interprétations dans la société de l'information permet de répondre adéquatement à une éthique et une politique de l'environnement.
Download or read book Introduction l cotoxicologie Fondements et applications written by RAMADE François and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2007-03-15 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le contexte de crise planétaire de l'environnement, l'écotoxicologie apporte des réponses scientifiques précises sur les effets des polluants sur les écosystèmes. Depuis son apparition dans les années 1970, la discipline n'a cessé de se développer, se complexifier, au point qu'il est aujourd'hui difficile d'en avoir une vision d'ensemble. Pionnier français de la discipline, François Ramade propose aujourd'hui cette synthèse exposant et expliquant l'ensemble des notions fondamentales du domaine. L'ouvrage délimite le champ de l'écotoxicologie, notamment en analysant les modalités et mécanismes de la pollution des habitats terrestres et aquatiques. Il fait le tour des notions physiques, biologiques, chimiques et toxicologiques essentielles pour mesurer les effets des polluants. Une large partie de l'ouvrage est consacrée aux conséquences des pollutions. Dans un souci de clarté, les données sont présentées selon un ordre croissant de complexité biologique : de la population à la biosphère en passant par les écosystèmes. Les données les plus récentes ont été intégrées, concernant particulièrement la dimension écologique de la notion de toxique, la détermination des paramètres quantitatifs propres à l'écotoxicologie (indices d'évaluation et seuils de sécurité), la radioécotoxicologie et les biomarqueurs. L'ouvrage prend en compte les réglementations les plus récentes, telle la directive européenne REACH liée à la toxicité de plus de 30 000 produits utilisés dans l'UE, et propose un exposé des méthodes d'évaluation et de prévision du risque environnemental. Ce traité s'adresse aux ingénieurs concernés par la prévention des pollutions et l'évaluation des risques, aux techniciens en charge de la protection environnementale, aux étudiants et enseignants en sciences de l'environnement et en toxicologie, aux agronomes, ainsi qu'au professionnels du domaine biomédical.

Download or read book Forms of Experienced Environments written by Nathalie Blanc and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores ‘environmental forms’ in terms of their relationships to the socio-politico-ecological transformations currently in progress. Today, the environment is a central theme in political discourse, scientific work and everyday life. It is multi-dimensional: it is a living space, a socio-ecological system and a field of research and action. However, despite the presence and diversity of existing approaches, the ways in which policies address environmental issues remain mainly focused on control, highlighting the techno-ecological, managerial and curative dimensions of public actions. Although public action tends to instrumentalise the environment, the humanities and social sciences have initiated significant reflections in this field, proposing alternative ways of thinking about the environment in its multiple aspects and scales. As part of ‘another approach’ to the environment that mirrors contemporary developments, this book adopts a form-based approach which has been largely neglected by previous studies dealing with environmental themes. The analyses provided here will open up a new perspective on the relationships between people, aesthetics and environments, and are drawn from different schools of research, highlighting the huge potential of reading the environment through forms or, conversely, a reading of environmental forms.
