Orientalist Aesthetics
Benjamin's rediscovery of the important Society of French Orientalist Painters provides a critical context for understanding a rich body of work, including that of indigenous Algerian artists whose careers have never before been discussed in English.".
Islamophobia in France
In 2004 France banned Muslim women from wearing veils in school. In 2010 France passed legislation that banned the wearing of clothing in public that covered the face, mainly to target women who wore burqas. President Emmanuel Macron has stated that the hijab is not in accordance with French ideals. Islamophobia in France takes many forms, both explicit and implicit, and often appears to be sanctioned by the governing bodies themselves. These cultural biases reveal how the Muslim population acts as a scapegoat for the problematic status of immigrants in France more generally. Islamophobia in France is an English translation of Abdellali Hajjat and Marwan Mohammed’s Islamophobie: Comment le...

Travel to distant lands was easier, and artists brought back voluptuous images filled with sun and colour. This title studies almost 150 painters, from Delacroix to Ziem. It features many lesser known masters and is suitable for collectors.
Computational Intelligence for Modelling, Control & Automation
This edited volume is dedicated to the theory and applications of Computational Intelligence techniques for Intelligent Image Processing, Data Analysis and Information Retrieval. It consists of 52 accepted research papers from the 1999 International Conference on Computational Intelligence for Modeling, Control and Automation - CIMCA'99. The goal of this conference was to provide a medium for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners to address the important issues in computational intelligence for modelling, control and automation. The research papers presented in this book cover new techniques and applications in the of Image Processing, Computer Vision, Multimedia Systems, Filtering, Classification, Data Analysis, Prediction, Intelligent Database and Information Retrievals.
Francophone Writing in Transition
In this volume, Francophone Algerian writing is studied as the hesitant articulation of strategies of alternative representation and, however modest, of deviance as a form of resistance.
Marine Macroecology
Pioneered in the late 1980s, the concept of macroecology—a framework for studying ecological communities with a focus on patterns and processes—revolutionized the field. Although this approach has been applied mainly to terrestrial ecosystems, there is increasing interest in quantifying macroecological patterns in the sea and understanding the processes that generate them. Taking stock of the current work in the field and advocating a research agenda for the decades ahead, Marine Macroecology draws together insights and approaches from a diverse group of scientists to show how marine ecology can benefit from the adoption of macroecological approaches. Divided into three parts, Marine Mac...
