Martin Parr, célébrissime et britishissime photographe du XXe siècle, a accepté de jouer avec les archives de The Anonymous Project, l'une des plus importantes collections de diapositives couleur amateur existantes. La confrontation des images qui inviterait presque à se livrer au jeu des 7 erreurs, redonne au travail de Parr toute son humanité. Quel régal de revisiter des images cultes de The Last Resort ou de Common Sense et de les faire dialoguer avec des images anonymes pleines de poésie, de tendresse nostalgique et de vitalité.

POV, point of view

La première fois qu'un lien vers une vidéo porno s'affiche sur son ordinateur, Lucas est en train de télécharger un film de super-héros en streaming. Cette scène, qu'il visionne sans l'avoir voulu, le sidère, puis lui procure une émotion totalement inédite. Pour retrouver ce frisson initial, il glisse en secret dans une sphère qui accapare ses pensées, ses nuits, et bientôt tout son temps libre. Vu de l'extérieur, on pourrait croire que Lucas est un simple geek. Il est en réalité victime d'une addiction dont il ne peut plus sortir seul. Pour revenir du côté de la vie, il lui faudra accepter la rencontre et l'échange avec d'autres, loin des écrans.

Tricia guild: in my view

Tricia Guild, qui est l'une des plus grands designers d'intérieur du monde, croit passionnément que la façon dont nous choisissons de vivre a une incidence importante sur notre bien-être. Les maisons dans lesquelles nous vivons, les choses avec lesquelles nous nous entourons et les choix quotidiens que nous faisons peuvent affecter profondément notre vision et notre positivité. Il n'est donc pas surprenant que Tricia mette en pratique ce qu'elle prêche : il lui est impossible de séparer son travail de designer des autres aspects de sa vie et elle pense que nous devrions rechercher une inspiration créatrice dans chaque expérience, en particulier pour apprécier les choses qui apportent du plaisir à nos vies. Pour Tricia, l'Italie est une passion particulièrement vivace et elle y a une maison depuis de nombreuses années. Lorsque Tricia et sa famille ont commencé la recherche d'une nouvelle propriété, elle a trouvé l'occasion idéale de créer une maison spéciale - une interprétation contemporaine de la langue vernaculaire locale - qui représente son genre de modernité. In my View nous emmène dans une visite guidée de la magnifique propriété ombrienne, depuis les marches de l'entrée et les pièces/espaces de la maison principale jusqu'aux espaces de restauration en plein air, studios, chambres d'hôtes, jardin potager et pool-house. L'architecte Stephen Marshall et le designer de jardins Arne Maynard expliquent leur collaboration avec Tricia en décrivant, entre autres, le choix des matériaux pour la maison et la plantation sur les terrasses autour des pelouses ondulantes du jardin nichées au milieu d'oliviers verdoyants. Tricia présente également sa nouvelle maison londonienne : une maison de ville victorienne, où, avec la même équipe de Stephen et Arne, elle s'est lancée dans la création d'une retraite urbaine comprenant trois zones distinctes pouvant accueillir la vie, les repas et le repos. Tout au long du livre, Tricia partage les moodboards qui l'ont aidée à réaliser les maisons de ses rêves en Italie et à Londres. Pour Tricia, les moodboards sont essentiels dans les premières étapes de tout projet car ils aident à établir la langue, le rythme et le style de chaque espace. Le processus de sélection et de mise en forme soigné est au coeur de la recherche de son propre style. In my View révèle les choix personnels qui ont façonné le mode de vie de Tricia et inciteront le lecteur à développer son propre style et à créer ainsi son propre point de vue.

Metamorphosis of the Administrative Welfare State

The book's conceptual framework is built upon an analysis of different varieties of rationality. A conception of political rationality is elaborated. First, orientations of contemporary administrative theory and research are analysed from the point of view of that rationality. Next, the same viewpoint is applied to an analysis of an entity called the 'administrative welfare state'. This concept is used to cover the typical institutional shape of the leading highly developed countries until the 1980s. The strengths and the weaknesses of the contemporary 'new public management' reforms are also evaluated from the point of view of political rationality. Finally, steps are taken to define elements of actual reform programmes in the terms of the political rationality.

Steering and Auditing

The purpose of this book is to evaluate the functioning of the management by results (MbR) reform in the Finnish public administration, especially from the point of view of parliamentary steering and auditing : how the relations between the parliamentary actors and public administration have developed since the reform. The question is analysed using documents and expert interviews. The book indicates that the shift to the MbR system has meant in many cases a shift to a new, more flexible way to steer the administration. However, the reform is not yet complete from the point of view of parliamentary steering and auditing. The information on the realization of the civil service agencies' and state institutions' result targets could be forwarded more effectively to the ministries. Thus far the management reform insufficiently enables the realization of parliamentary steering and auditing.

Participation and Litigation Rights of Environmental Associations in Europe

This book assembles the revised papers of an international conference and thus offers a comprehensive comparative overview of the participation and litigation rights of environmental associations in Europe. This is supplemented by a compilation of the relevant statutory law in force. Besides the legal background, the focus of interest is above all on practical experience with participation and litigation rights from the point of view of the environmental associations.The contributions show that the effectivity of group actions is extremely high. In none of the analysed countries were there the slightest indications of any undue strain being placed on the judicial system by this instrument. There can be no doubt that the participation and litigation rights of environmental organizations are important instruments in reducing the enforcement deficit in environmental protection. With a view to the fact that Europe is growing more and more into one entity, the need of participation of environmental NGO's on the European level becomes a pressing necessity.

It's a view from my window, withthe sun in the mist and, in the foreground, some ships' masts... I was asked to provide a title for the catalogue. But the work couldn't really be considered as a view of Le Havre itself. "Well," I said, "let's make it Impression". So it became "impressionism", and the quip did the rounds.

Classical Judaism: Torah, Learning, Virtue

This three-part anthology presents Classical Judaism in accord with its native categories, Torah, learning, and virtue. These correspond to the categories that a religious system will define for itself : world view, way of life, and theory of the social order that maintains the view and realizes it in its shared existence. By presenting substantial samples of the writings of that Judaism, the three volumes afford direct access to the way in which, in its own words, that Judaism makes its statement. Readers are introduced through extensive selections to the character of Judaism through the kinds of writing that serve as its medium - Midrash, Mishnah, Talmud, stories about sages. The first part of the anthology speaks of the Torah, meaning, the written Torah and how it is read in Scripture. The second addresses the Mishnah, that is, the first document of the oral Torah, and further introduces the Talmuds and explains how these are to be read. Both of these volumes begin with essays on hermeneutics. The third volume sets forth the way in which the sage is represented as a medium through which the Torah of Sinai is set forth.

The Two Sources of Indian Asceticism

This book argues that the Indian ascetic traditions have two independent sources, the one Vedic, the other non-Vedic. This point of view has been expressed here and there in the scholarly literature, but it has never yet been argued in detail on the basis of textual evidence. The primary evidence is as follows : Early Indian literature - primarily the Epics, Buddhist and Jaina literature - explicitly differentiates between two types of ascetics, who distinguish themselves from each other in their aims, as well as in various other respects.

Horizons of Humanity

This collection of essays represents an interdisciplinary approach to some contemporary issues in the philosophy of science and the theory of knowledge. It is also an attempt to place art in the context of human cognition in general and also to relate it to science and philosophy. Its conception is such that it accords with the view that our creativity is not separable from a humanistic orientation. Within such a humanistic framework, aiming at a stable form of peace becomes the moral responsibility of both the scientist and the philosopher.

The Cost-Benefit of Measles Immunization

In view of the importance of measles and the scarcity of resources in developing countries a cost-benefit study of measles immunization was carried out in the Southern Province of Zambia. It was concluded that economic benefits can only be expected from a measles immunization programme in urban areas with 24 hours electricity supply while in rural areas it would be an additional economic burden. Less thermolabile measles vaccines and/or a more reliable cold chain might make the extension of measles vaccination programmes to rural areas more economic.

Planning for and implementation of health services should consider past experiences and existing knowledge. In view of the numerous bottlenecks and constraints being of social, cultural, historical, political, economic and environmental nature any too ambitious plan should be avoided. Basic Health Services will be the mainstay for the delivery of health services to the rural population on the basis of community participation.

Pedagogic Design and Literary Form in the Work of Adalbert Stifter

This investigation brings to light the fundamental significance of literary form as the chief mediator of Stifter's pedagogic endeavour, an aspect so far neglected in Stifter literature. It opposes the widely held view that Stifter's pedagogic incentive is a result of the Austrian revolution of 1848. While Stifter's pedagogic thought stems primarily from his Kremsmünster education in the spirit of Josephinism, it is his increasingly sensitive and respectful involvement of the reader's perceptive powers in conveying the import which, far beyond the expression of pedagogic design in terms of moral and social maxims, reveals Stifter's originality as a pedagogic writer.

Developmental Impact of Technology Transfer

Developmental Impact of Technology Transfer in Nigeria is a major work of its kind which examines the roots of Nigeria's inability to assimilate and institutionalise imported foreign technologies. The author takes unconventional view and fathoms the complex issues encountered in international technology transfer in their various ramifications. The author argues that the traditional theories might have explained away the complex issues involved and have treated the major factors essential for the positive developmental impact of the transferred technology on the receiving society with benign neglect. The empirical results from this work provide a new understanding of the problems which obstruct the process of sucessful technology transfer to the developing countries.

Thackeray and the Problem of Realism

Although it is traditional to see a certain kind of "realism" as the essence of fiction, in practice novels of course offer not a simple reproduction of experience but a throughgoing organization of it. The novel is, after all, a bourgeois genre and it reflects that bourgeois view of life according to which the world is there merely to be dominated and controlled by man. This study examines both Thackeray's early fiction, in which both the novel form and the manipulative society to which it belongs are attacked, and his later works, in which they are defended, and tries to determine the reasons for this change.

Exiles in Print

The book provides a complementary view of modernism by investigating Anglo-American little magazines published in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. Addressing symbolic and practical aspects of physical location and international themes in the little reviews, it highlights the infrastructure of modernism – networks, finances and genealogies. The authors link activities, strategies and negotiations with the creation of modernism as we know it, as magazine editors are shown to be highly conscious of their role as canon-makers. In this rendition, modernism is intrinsically linked with its agents and practices and pushes the dividing lines between narrow elite culture and wider readerships, as well as between cosmopolites and tourists.

Papers on Semantics and Grammar

The six revised papers collected here - two have been translated into English - address in their different ways questions relating to grammatical meaning (both semantics and pragmatics) and the analysis of constructions. Though they cover a period of about 10 years, they can be said to share a view of linguistic analysis that is holistic rather than modular and descriptive rather than generative. The topics discussed are : the semantics and pragmatics of get-passives ; the semantics of epistemic modality ; the status, function and analysis of participial and gerundial -ing constructions ; four controversies in the analysis of modality and modal auxiliaries ; the functional classification of adverbials and the pragmatics of their position ; the semantics and pragmatics of prepositional phrases with for.
