Protecting Future Generations Through Commons
The recent austerity measures currently adopted in numerous European countries assume that a rise in public debt should automatically result in cuts to social programmes and the privatisation of "inefficiently" managed resources. This type of reasoning is being used to justify the destruction of social rights of citizens for the profit of the private sector, resulting in more limited access to the most fundamental resources such as water, nature, housing, culture, knowledge and information, mainly for the most vulnerable members of society. Such a view, informed solely by short-term growth and profit cycles, is endangering access to those resources not only for current generations but for fu...

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and the Law
The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and the Law sheds light on the relationship between the two fields and analyses how the law shapes heritage and heritage practice in both expected and unexpected ways. Including contributions from 41 authors working across a range of jurisdictions, the volume analyses the law as a transnational phenomenon and uses international and comparative legal methodologies to distil lessons for broad application. Demonstrating that the law is fundamentally a language of power and contestation, the Handbook shows how this impacts our views of heritage. It also shows that, to understand the ways in which the law impacts key aspects of heritage practice, it is important...
Protéger les générations futures par les biens commun
Les mesures d’austérité, récemment adoptées par de nombreux pays européens, s’appuient sur le principe qu’une augmentation de la dette publique devrait automatiquement se traduire par la réduction des programmes sociaux et la privatisation des ressources inefficacement gérées. Ce type de raisonnement est invoqué pour justifier la destruction des droits sociaux des citoyens au profit du secteur privé, entraînant notamment pour les membres les plus vulnérables de la société un accès limité aux ressources fondamentales telles que l’eau, la nature, le logement, la culture, le savoir et l’information. Une telle conception de la prospérité, fondée exclusivement sur des...
Des droits pour la nature
C’est une lacune du droit international : rien aujourd'hui ne permet aux victimes d’injustices environnementales de réclamer l’application de leurs droits. Aucune sanction n’est prévue pour ceux qui menacent les Droits de la nature alors qu’il en va de la pérennité des conditions de la vie sur terre. Les Droits de la nature doivent accorder aux écosystèmes des droits à l’existence qui peuvent être revendiqués en justice. Ils proposent la reconnaissance du crime « d’écocide » pour les atteintes les plus graves contre l’environnement que les États et les entreprises non seulement permettent, mais parfois encouragent. Ces principes permettent de considérer la natur...
Jean-Philippe Rameau
Figure majeure de la musique française, Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) laisse une œuvre considérable (clavier, musique de chambre, musique vocale religieuse et surtout opéras). Il fut également un théoricien de la forme musicale et un philosophe, participant aux débats esthétiques de l’époque des Lumières. Le 250e anniversaire de sa mort est l’occasion, après les célébrations de 1983 de faire le point sur les travaux engagés depuis trente ans. De nombreuses recherches, l’édition scientifique monumentale de son œuvre ont enrichi la connaissance de l’homme, du compositeur et du théoricien. Sylvie Bouissou, rédactrice en chef de cette édition, propose ici une synthèse remarquablement documentée qui constitue la monographie de référence.
Towards a Europe of Shared Social Responsibilities
The need to develop collective skills to acquire a shared long-term vision and to manage change is evident, given that resources are limited and there is no such thing as complete independence or immunity from the damaging effects of other people's acts or failures to act. Current trends are having a significant effect on both the scope and the substance of specific responsibilities, individual or collective, voluntary or statutory. In addition, extreme interdependence exacerbates the differences between values, concepts of well-being and interests, potentially giving rise to mutually destructive conflicts, wastage of resources and externally negative consequences. Hence the Council of Europe's proposal to adopt the concept of shared social responsibility as a vital adjunct to specific responsibilities to make them more meaningful. In accordance with this concept, which is the subject of a charter addressed to governments and to all stakeholders, all parties are encouraged to
Outsourcing
Outsourcing remains a global growth industry. New technologies and approaches have transformed the way in which services can be delivered with ever better service quality and lower cost, with robotic process automation (RPA) significantly reducing the numbers of supplier personnel required to deliver such projects, and the application of artificial intelligence tools dramatically improving some of the service outputs and outcomes. Now that the world is facing up to the impact of Covid-19 in terms of pressures on cost bases and the realisation that far more roles than previously understood can be effectively undertaken remotely, we can anticipate that there will be a further step change in th...
Understanding the Art of Sound Organization
The first work to propose a comprehensive musicological framework to study sound-based music, a rapidly developing body of work that includes electroacoustic art music, turntable composition, and acoustic and digital sound installations. The art of sound organization, also known as electroacoustic music, uses sounds not available to traditional music making, including prerecorded, synthesized, and processed sounds. The body of work of such sound-based music (which includes electroacoustic art music, turntable composition, computer games, and acoustic and digital sound installations) has developed more rapidly than its musicology. Understanding the Art of Sound Organization proposes the first...
