French B Movies
In the impoverished outskirts of French cities, known as the banlieues, minority communities are turning to American culture, history, and theory to make their own voices, cultures, and histories visible. Filmmakers have followed suit, turning to Hollywood genre conventions to challenge notions of identity, belonging, and marginalization in mainstream French film. French B Movies proposes that French banlieue films, far from being a fringe genre, offer a privileged site from which to understand the current state of the French film industry in an age of globalization. This gritty style appears in popular arthouse films such as Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine and Bande de filles (Girlhood) along ...
Unlocking Adaptation Finance in Emerging Market and Developing Economies
Mitigation and decarbonization efforts are falling short of the 1.5°C goal, making adaptation critical. Developing economies are affected the most, despite having contributed the least to the problem. Nearly 98 percent of adaptation finance comes from public actors, with highly fragmented flows from the private sector. As financing needs increase, bringing private sector finance becomes critical and requires reframing adaptation investments from being seen not just as a risk exposure but also as an investment opportunity. This requires addressing real and perceived investment barriers, public-private collaboration and risk sharing, as well as financial incentives and innovation to unlock scalable, inclusive solutions. Adaptation is more complex than mitigation, with challenges in defining, evaluating, pricing, and scaling investments. Progress on adaptation requires policy reforms, incentives, and partnerships between governments, businesses, and communities and public-private risk sharing.
The Biased Mind
Using a wealth of anecdotes, data from academic literature, and original research, this very accessible little book highlights how we all struggle to cope with the maelstrom of choices, influences and experiences that come our way. The authors have slogged through piles of dry research papers to provide many wonderful nuggets of information and surprising insights. For example: Why is an upside-down red triangle such a powerful warning sign on the road? What is the best kind of alibi? What makes the number 7 so special? Why is it better to whisper words of love into the left ear? Will that recent marriage last? Why is it that the French eat snails but not slugs? The reader will discover the amazing tools and shortcuts that millennia of evolution have built into our brains. And this knowledge is power! Knowing more about how the human mind connects the dots helps us understand why decision-making is so tricky. With insights from evolutionary psychology, we become better equipped to understand ourselves and others and to interact and communicate more effectively.

Le tic-tac de l'horloge climatique
Pour contenir le réchauffement en dessous de 2° C, il faut changer les règles du jeu économique. Les instruments à utiliser concernent le climat, mais aussi la justice sociale et les autres facettes de la crise environnementale. Le recours aux énergies fossiles a été à la source de la croissance du XXe siècle et de ses impacts sur la planète. La sortie du règne des fossiles sera la grandeaffaire du xxie siècle. Cette transition énergétique a démarré, mais elle ne met pas nos sociétés à l’abri du risque climatique. En effet, son rythme n’est pas en phase avec le tic-tac de l’horloge climatique et elle ne permet pas de faire face à l’appauvrissement du milieu natur...

Republican Citizens, Precarious Subjects
Over recent decades concerns at the increased scarcity and precarity of salaried employment have dominated political struggles, theoretical debates and cultural representations in France. This study argues that such concerns are evidence of a profound shift in contemporary French economy, culture and society. Engaging with work in political economy and sociology, the book sketches a new interpretative framework, the better to understand the nature and implications of these profound changes. It examines the challenges such changes have posed to fundamental French republican values, arguing they have opened up a rift between older notions of French republican citizenship and the precarious forms of subjectivity characteristic of post-Fordist labour. The book traces the symptoms of this rift in a range of cinematic and literary representations of the contemporary workplace, as these depict the dilemmas faced, the trajectories followed, and the geographical regions inhabited by French workers of different ages, sexes, social classes, and ethnicities.
Irrespirable - Le scandale de la qualité de l'air en France
PRESSIONS, COLLUSIONS, MENSONGES... Tous les ingrédients d'un bon thriller réunis dans une enquête inédite sur la qualité de notre air. À en croire l'État, depuis quelques années, la qualité de notre air s'améliore... Un discours en parfait décalage avec la perception globale des Français. Mais aussi des plus éminents scientifiques qui considèrent que la pollution atmosphérique ne diminue pas mais qu'elle se transforme... pour être encore plus nuisible. Alors, qui dit vrai ? De quoi est véritablement composé l'air que nous respirons dans l'Hexagone ? Pourquoi la France est-elle dans le collimateur de la Commission européenne ? Nos dirigeants auraient-ils délibérément laissé les lobbies industriels et agricoles prendre les commandes ? Ce livre répond à toutes ces questions. Oui, quelque chose cloche dans le ciel français, et, non, l'air de la campagne n'est pas plus sain que celui des villes. Mais cet ouvrage redonne également espoir en mettant en lumière le sursaut citoyen qui naît progressivement un peu partout, et fait bouger les lignes. Car savoir, c'est le début du pouvoir.
