Working Women, 1800-2017
This book examines how, over the past 300 years or so, women have adapted their work methods, means of subsistence and daily routine to fulfil their dual role as carers and breadwinners. From the industrial revolution, which ended agrarian-based subsistence and meant an exodus towards the cities for many families, to the digital revolution, which redefined the work environment, working hours and even in some cases biological functions, women have succeeded in meeting the challenge of changing work practices, social expectations and economic and family needs. Although women’s work, both past and present, is a much-researched area, this volume sheds new light on the subject by combining the approach of historians, sociologists, and language and culture specialists, and applying it to different countries. Drawing upon original fieldwork and little-known archives, the book will be of interest not only to an academic audience, but to anyone wanting to know more about gender, family, and labour issues across Europe between the 19th and 21st centuries.
Labour Market Uncertainties for the Young Workforce in France and Germany
La présente étude porte sur l'impact de l'insécurité économique chez les jeunes sur les décisions de fécondité. Elle s'inscrit dans le projet européen GUSTO et fait suite à l'étude réalisée par l'équipe de l'université de Duisburg-Essen sur le marché du travail et l'insécurité économique chez les jeunes en France et en Allemagne (Klammer, Ahles 2010). Le propos de la présente étude est de cerner les raisons pour lesquelles l'Allemagne affiche un niveau de fécondité sensiblement plus bas que la France alors même que la situation économique des jeunes Allemands est sensiblement meilleure que celle des Français. Comment s'explique cette différence d'impact de la situa...
African Students in East Germany, 1949-1975
This book explores the largely unexamined history of Africans who lived, studied, and worked in the German Democratic Republic. African students started coming to the East in 1951 as invited guests who were offered scholarships by the East German government to prepare them for primarily technical and scientific careers once they returned home to their own countries. Drawn from previously unexplored archives in Germany, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, and the United Kingdom, African Students in East Germany, 1949–1975 uncovers individual stories and reconstructs the pathways that African students took in their journeys to the GDR and what happened once they got there. The book places these experience...
Unequal Neighbours? A French-German Comparison of Family Size Intentions
Abstract: The neighbouring countries France and Germany show very different levels of fertility. Differences also exist between the two regions of East and West Germany. The aim of this paper is to help close a remaining gap in explaining these differences by applying a cultural concept of role models. Data is based on the German survey "Family-related role models" (2012) and the French survey "Situation de couple, intentions de fécondité et opinions sur la famille", ELIPSS (2013) offering a new approach to measuring the impact of social norms. The analysis uses multinomial logistic regression. We identified role models regarding the acceptance of childlessness on the one hand and large families on the other, as well as regarding the link between marriage and parenthood and the importance of financial security, suggesting different fertility-related cultures in France and Germany. There is a strong predominance of one general role model in France - that of having at least two children. In Ge
Flavour
This book will cover all aspects of flavour perception, including aroma, taste and the role of the trigeminal nerve, from the general composition of food to the perception at the peri-receptor and central level. This book will answer to a growing need for multidisciplinary approaches to better understand the mechanisms involved in flavour perception. The book presents the bases of anatomy of sensory perception. It will provide the requisite basic knowledge on the molecules responsible for flavour perception, on their release from the food matrix during the eating process in order to reach the chemosensory receptors, and on their retention and release from and transformation by bodily fluids of the oral and nasal cavities. It will also bring current knowledge on the multimodal interactions. This book will also cover the recent evolution in flavour science: characterisation of molecules, interaction with food matrix and more recently, physic-chemical and physiological and events during oral processing increasingly considered.

Les Enjeux démographiques en France et en Allemagne : réalités et conséquences
L'ouvrage « Les enjeux démographiques en France et en Allemagne : réalités et conséquences », est le fruit d'un colloque organisé à Valenciennes en octobre 2009, réunissant des démographes européens et des germanistes français travaillant sur les mêmes questions. L`évolution démographique en Europe est caractérisée ces dernières décennies d'une part par une natalité en recul et un vieillissement démographique et de l’autre par un afflux d’immigrés sans précédent. Ces deux phénomènes placent le continent européen face à des défis majeurs : l’inversion de la pyramide des âges met la pérennité des systèmes de protection sociale actuels en question tandis q...

Migrations et identités
L'Allemagne a tardé à se considérer comme territoire d'immigration bien qu'elle le fût devenue depuis longtemps pour des raisons économiques. Depuis quelques années elle s'intéresse à ce problème au présent, mais également aux migrations intérieures et extérieures qu'elle a connues par le passé. Elle se replonge ainsi dans les mouvements humains dramatiques des 19e et 20e siècles. À partir des contributions de germanistes, d'historiens, d'un psychanalyste, d'un magistrat, d'un politologue, le présent ouvrage jette sur le phénomène migratoire des éclairages complémentaires, centrés sur l'Allemagne du point de vue thématique, mais qui atteignent une dimension beaucoup plus large. Volontaires ou contraintes, individuelles ou en groupe, les migrations étudiées apparaissent comme des ruptures qui conduisent, selon les cas, à des déracinements complets ou à des réenracinements effectifs qui ne dépendent pas de la seule capacité du migrant, mais aussi de l'attitude du pays d'accueil.
