Based on a sweeping range of archival, visual, and material evidence, Wild Frenchmen and Frenchified Indians examines perceptions of Indians in French colonial Louisiana and demonstrates that material culture—especially dress—was central to the elaboration of discourses about race. At the heart of France's seventeenth-century plans for colonizing New France was a formal policy—Frenchification. Intended to turn Indians into Catholic subjects of the king, it also carried with it the belief that Indians could become French through religion, language, and culture. This fluid and mutable conception of identity carried a risk: while Indians had the potential to become French, the French coul...
Digitalization is a long and constant sociohistoric process in which all areas of societys activities are reconfigured. Digitalization of Society and Socio-political Issues 1 examines the transformations linked to the development of digital platforms and social media, which affect the cultural and communicational industries. It analyzes the formation of Big Data, their algorithmic processing and the societal changes which result (social monitoring and control in particular). Through critical views, it equally presents the various ways in which technology participates in relations of power and domination, and contributes to possible emancipatory practices.
In this collection of articles, the author paints vignettes and describes happenings from the vantage point of an American observer in what he has dubbed the Golden Triangle in France. The focus is on a fascinating group of persons and personal experiences in a corner of the beautiful Dordogne valley in the northern edge of the Lot that is still relatively unspoiled, and filled with an astounding number of significant places. The entire region throbs with the material reminders of prehistoric, Celtic, Roman, and medieval times, especially with the beauty of well-preserved fourteenth century villages. Above all, it is the portraits of the several protagonists that provide a look at the infinite complexity of individuals and their experiences.
Scholars from science, art, and humanities explore the meaning of our new image worlds and offer new strategies for visual analysis. We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's information explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to the visu...

"Les archives, qu'elles soient scripturales ou de terrain, sont des traces de vies. Les émotions qu'elles me renvoient m'ont fait reprendre les chemins de personnages oubliés." S'inspirant de sa généalogie, l'auteur remonte le temps pour nous faire vivre le quotidien de nos ancêtres, de la préhistoire jusqu'au vingtième siècle... 300 générations, 7 000 ans d'histoire... Pour nous offrir cet incroyable voyage, Yves Casseville a mis en forme le fruit de ses nombreuses recherches et découvertes dans les archives communales et sur le vaste territoire de Pardailhan, dans l'Hérault, où il a vécu près de quarante ans. En naît un puzzle fascinant où s'imbriquent adroitement récits romancés et chronique généalogique, petites et grande histoires. Un ouvrage très documenté, dont les nombreuses photographies personnelles viennent témoigner d'un patrimoine incroyablement riche.
Dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, cette publication interroge le rôle des innovations techniques en information et communication.
L'âge, le vieillissement et l'âgisme demeurent des sujets vibrants où il y a plus de questions que de réponses. L'âgisme est un processus d'exclusion complexe, sournois, ambigu et implicite. Plus encore, il reste peu dénoncé par rapport à d'autres formes d'exclusion, ses répercussions étant souvent méconnues, donc banalisées. Ce faisant, les initiatives concrètes pour mettre un frein à l'âgisme demeurent embryonnaires et, paradoxalement, contribuent parfois même à le renforcer à travers des mécaniques de divisions intra et intergénérationnelles. Il est donc essentiel de poursuivre la réflexion sur les racines profondes de l'âgisme, de comprendre comment ce processus d'...
