Chasing the Past
This book aims to provide an original perspective on the changes that Greece has undergone in recent decades, by examining questions related to border disputes and migration, minority issues and national inclusion, and their effect in reinforcing discourses of glorification of the past and tradition on the fringes of Greek territory.
Raison du mouvement (La). Territoires et réseaux de migrants albanais en Grèce
"La Grèce et l'Albanie sont des Etats de taille modeste situés dans le Sud de la péninsule des Balkans. Dans le monde, il est peu d'endroits où des pays pourtant frontaliers associent la proximité géographique à des images et une réalité si différentes. Pourtant, depuis le début des années 1990 et la chute du gouvernement autoritaire qui sévissait alors à Tirana, les deux pays sont liés par l'un des plus importants phénomènes migratoires du continent européen tant par sa puissance que par la rapidité de sa réalisation. Si cette migration massive naît indiscutablement de la conjonction entre la proximité et le contraste des richesses, ce travail propose aussi de lire cer...

Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret - Restoration of the Clarté Building, Geneva
The book describes the story of Clarté, Le Corbusier’s first apartment building, continuing the narrative into the 21st century. The steel skeleton building completed in Geneva in 1930/1932 is a prototype of the Moderne style and a precursor of the Unité d’Habitation. The building was neglected for many decades and not listed as a historic building until the 1990s. In 2007 the external envelope was repaired as the first step, followed by refurbishment of the interior, in which building preservation requirements were taken into account in an exemplary manner. The building log book by the architects and structural engineers is illustrated with numerous new and historic drawings and photographs, and has been supplemented with an account of the building’s history. The renovated building is presented in large photographs.
Palaeolithic Living Sites in Upper and Middle Egypt
The field research and associated laboratory analyses reported in this volume represent more than 24 years of investigation in Upper and Middle Egypt by the Belgian Middle Egypt Prehistoric Project of Leuven University. During the course of these years, the project excavated 29 sites with clear evidence of living surfaces. "Palaeolithic living sites in Upper and Middle Egypt" serves to present the results of these investigations, which span in time from the oldest known human presence in the Egyptian Nile valley, estimated to be some 400,000 years ago, to the Epipalaeolithic era, approximately 6,000 years ago. The excavation data of the sites are illustrated by numerous plans, profiles and artefact drawings. Thus, work reported herein spans the known Palaeolithic era of the Egyptian Nile valley.
En présence du passé
La Grèce est depuis plusieurs années au cœur de l’actualité en raison de la crise qui touche ses finances publiques, ainsi que de sa position sur les routes migratoires méditerranéennes. Ces nouveaux phénomènes s’inscrivent pourtant dans la continuité des périodes précédentes, où tensions géopolitiques comme immigration soudaine ont contribué à donner de ce pays une image d’altérité manifeste en Europe, et à développer au sein de sa société un sentiment de marginalité voire d’exclusion. Par la présentation d’enquêtes menées ces dix dernières années en Grèce, cet ouvrage rend compte de ces transformations à partir du renforcement, généralement vu comm...
Delineation of Mine-Sites and Potential in Different Sea Areas
Prospecting and exploration for manganese nodules has, as its ultimate objective, the discovery and delineation of an area of the ocean floor with reserves of sufficient quantity and quality to support a mining operation under existing economic, technical and political conditions. While prospecting concentrates primari lyon the collection of geological information, an exploration programme includes other activities that relate to the develop ment of technology, financial analysis of the prospect and environmental protection. Such work on a deposit in turn leads to the development of a mine-site. The mine-site concept brings together information in a way that recognizes the interplay among a ...
The Crowd in the Early Middle Ages
The importance of collective behavior in early medieval Europe By the fifth and sixth centuries, the bread and circuses and triumphal processions of the Roman Empire had given way to a quieter world. And yet, as Shane Bobrycki argues, the influence and importance of the crowd did not disappear in early medieval Europe. In The Crowd in the Early Middle Ages, Bobrycki shows that although demographic change may have dispersed the urban multitudes of Greco-Roman civilization, collective behavior retained its social importance even when crowds were scarce. Most historians have seen early medieval Europe as a world without crowds. In fact, Bobrycki argues, early medieval European sources are full ...
