Download or read book Les guerres sans fin written by Benjamin Stora and published by Stock. This book was released on 2008-09-10 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guerre d’indépendance, conflits de mémoire et séquelles postcoloniales, guerre civile algérienne, luttes intestines... des deux côtés de la Méditerranée les effets des combats n’en finissent pas, comme les répliques des tremblements de terre. Les rapports entre l’Algérie et la France sont ensanglantés, passionnés, obsédants, durablement marqués par une conflictuelle proximité. À distance des passions partisanes, froide par méthode, l’histoire de ces relations tourmentées s’écrit néanmoins à chaud et l’exercice est parfois périlleux. Un jour de juin 1995, Benjamin Stora reçoit des menaces et un petit cercueil en bois dans une grande enveloppe beige... Entre étude historique et témoignage personnel, ce livre singulier, jalonné par des rencontres avec quelques personnages clés, associe une réflexion sur l’écriture de l’histoire et l’engagement de l’historien à une analyse profondément originale des rapports entre la France et l’Algérie.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici une histoire de l’Algérie d’Abdelkader à Bouteflika (sur deux siècles), qui précède, enjambe et fait suite à l’histoire coloniale française de ce pays (1830-1962). Il ne s’agit pas d'oublier la colonisation française, mais au contraire de la réinsérer dans l’histoire longue de l’Algérie, de montrer en quoi et comment elle s’insère (par exemple dans la culture de la violence politique et de la gouvernance militaire de la société) dans l’histoire ottomane, puis débouche sur la République militaire. La République militaire instaurée avec le FLN est un mixte entre la culture militaire turque et tribale communautaire de la force; la culture jacobine centralisée inculquée par la France; le socialisme égalitaire mâtiné d’islam politique; et la culture militaire d’une armée moderne, qui est peut-être le principal legs de la France à l’Algérie - le tout communiant dans un nationalisme unanimiste et populiste. L’auteur insiste particulièrement sur l’histoire et les cultures politiques, doublés par les enjeux économiques et sociaux qui se succèdent et varient selon les conjonctures historiques. Les travaux sont nombreux sur l’Algérie, mais l’articulation d’un récit unifié sur la longue durée telle qu’elle sera ici traitée n’a pas d’équivalent. Ni en Algérie ni en France, ou la plupart des travaux séquencent une période courte, ou additionnent de nombreuses contributions qui ne permettent pas de saisir un récit unifié et qui fasse sens. Pierre Vermeren, normalien et agrégé d'histoire, est professeur d'histoire du monde arabe contemporain à l'université Paris-1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et membre du laboratoire SIRICE. Il est notamment l'auteur du Choc des décolonisations (O. Jacob, 2015), Histoire du Maroc (La Découverte, 2016) et La France en terre d'islam: Empire colonial et religions, XIXe-XXe siècles (Tallandier, 2020).

This book was released on 2017 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Après un rappel de la tradition historiographique coloniale française, cet ouvrage, qui traite du système colonial entre politique et primat des armes, renvoie le lecteur au temps long d'une histoire, peu ou prou partagée entre le nord et le sud de la mer Méditerranée - en arabe, la mer moyenne ; ce qui explique in fine la conquête militaire de l'Algérie à partir de 1830, puis la mise en place dudit système. Ce livre tente de synthétiser les formes et le fond des répliques à la colonisation, qui aboutissent à la guerre d'indépendance de 1954-1962, sans pour autant effacer l'entrelacement - traumatique certes, mais bien tangible - entre Algériens et Français."--Publisher.

Book excerpt: Ce dossier d'Historiens et Géographes revient sur l'historiographie de la guerre d'Algérie à l'occasion du cinquantième anniversaire du début du conflit. Contrairement à une idée reçue, les historiens n'ont jamais cessé de s'intéresser à cette « boîte à chagrin », selon la formule du général de Gaulle. La remarquable progression de l'histoire scientifique s'oppose encore, au début du XXIe siècle, à la régression flagrante du débat public qui tend souvent vers une exacerbation de la guerre des mémoires. Le conflit algérien pose en effet des questions politiques et sociales, qui doivent être considérées avec le recul de l'historien. Ce dossier se propose ainsi de compléter les colloques universitaires et les essais historiques récents en rassemblant des synthèses inédites écrites par de prestigieux spécialistes. L'État français a longtemps refusé de reconnaître les « événements d'Algérie » et la mémoire française de la guerre doit être étudiée de manière objective afin de permettre un débat dépassionné, dans l'enseignement comme dans la société.

Book excerpt: This book represents the first multidisciplinary scientific work on a deep volcanic maar lake in comparison with other similar temperate lakes. The syntheses of the main characteristics of Lake Pavin are, for the first time, set in a firmer footing comparative approach, encompassing regional, national, European and international aquatic science contexts. It is a unique lake because of its permanently anoxic monimolimnion, and furthermore, because of its small surface area, its substantially low human influence, and by the fact that it does not have a river inflow. The book reflects the scientific research done on the general limnology, history, origin, volcanology and geological environment as well as on the geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Other chapters focus on the biology and microbial ecology whereas the sedimentology and paleolimnology are also given attention. This volume will be of special interest to researchers and advanced students, primarily in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology.

Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Download or read book Disability and Colonialism written by Karen Soldatic and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mapping, control and subjugation of the human body and mind were core features of the colonial conquest. This book draws together a rich collection of diverse, yet rigorous, papers that aim to expose the presence and significance of disability within colonialism, and how disability remains present in the establishment, maintenance and continuation of colonial structures of power. Disability as a site of historical analysis has become critically important to understanding colonial relations of power and the ways in which gender and identity are defined through colonial categorisations of the body. Thus, there is a growing prominence of disability within the historical literature. Yet, there are few international anthologies that traverse a critical level of depth on the subject domain. This book fills a critical gap in the historical literature and is likely to become a core reader for post graduate studies within disability studies, postcolonial studies and more broadly across the humanities. The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in Social Identities: Journal for the Study of Race, Nation and Culture.

Download or read book Architecture of Counterrevolution written by Samia Henni and published by GTA Verlag. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After over 120 years of French colonial rule in Algeria, the growing aspirations for independence culminated in the Algerian Revolution of 1954, which lasted until 1962. In order to combat the uprisings, the French civilian and military authorities reorganised the entire territory of the country, swiftly erected new infrastructures and pursued building policies that were ultimately intended to stabilize French dominance in Algeria.The study describes the architectural responses undertaken in the midst of this protracted and bloody armed conflict. It analyses their origins, evolutions and objectives, identifies the actors involved and reveals the underlying design methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Clancy-Smith's unprecedented study brings us a remarkable view of North African history from the perspective of the North Africans themselves. Focusing on the religious beliefs and political actions of Muslim elites and their followers in Algeria and Tunisia, she provides a richly detailed analysis of resistance and accommodation to colonial rule. Clancy-Smith demonstrates the continuities between the eras of Turkish and French rule as well as the importance of regional ties among elite families in defining Saharan political cultures. She rejects the position that Algerians and Tunisians were invariably victims of western colonial aggression, arguing instead that Muslim notables understood the outside world and were quite capable of manipulating the massive changes occurring around them. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Download or read book Philosophy in a Time of Terror written by Giovanna Borradori and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.

Download or read book Le Tumulte Noir written by Jody Blake and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jody Blake demonstrates in this book that although the impact of African-American music and dance in France was constant from 1900 to 1930, it was not unchanging. This was due in part to the stylistic development and diversity of African-American music and dance, from the prewar cakewalk and ragtime to the postwar Charleston and jazz. Successive groups of modernists, beginning with the Matisse and Picasso circle in the 1900s and concluding with the Surrealists and Purists in the 1920s, constructed different versions of la musique and la danse negre. Manifested in creative and critical works, these responses to African-American music and dance reflected the modernists' varying artistic agendas and historical climates.
