Abstract

Imagining Creation is a collection of views on creation by noted authors from different disciplines. Topics include creation accounts and iconography from Mesopotamia and Egypt, and cosmologies from India and Africa. Special attention is devoted to creation in the Scriptures (Bible and Koran) and related oral traditions on Genesis from Slavonic Europe, as well as Kabbalah. Some of the creations myths are earlier and some later than the Bible, while a number of the discussed texts offer alternative approaches to the beginnings of the universe. The contributions provide many new perspectives on the origins of man and his world from diverse cultures. The volume is the proceedings of a symposium on creation stories held at University College London. This book is also available in paperback.

Abstract

"This paper develops a general equilibrium model to analyze the marginal and joint impacts that alternative macroeconomic, education, and social protection policies have on the dynamics of employment and unemployment by skill level. The model introduces a disaggregated treatment of the labor market that incorporates an informal sub-sector in every sector of the economy. The analysis explicitly models the distribution of skills in the labor force by following over time sex-age cohorts across various levels of the education system and in the labor market. And it integrates a module that projects the revenues and expenditures of the pension system. The model is applied to the case of Morocco. Simulations show that even under positive assumptions regarding economic growth, unemployment rates are likely to remain close to current levels in the next decade. The paper argues that only an integrated package of policies that affect the macro-economy, the investment climate, and the education and social protection systems would allow sustainable creation of enough "good quality" jobs.

Abstract

Insaisissable artiste... Il semble, en effet, fuir toute définition. Son rôle social affiche une prétention à l'exception, il incarne une posture humaine qui ruse avec toute normalisation, et il prétend rechercher une singularité qui ne souffre de se fixer qu'en s'inventant à chaque instant. Or, cet état à la fois de plénitude et d'ambiguïté correspond à un moment très précis de l'histoire. Avant, le type de l'artiste s'est formé au rythme de la spécialisation de son activité, après, à l'ère postmoderne, il semble subir une crise qui fait peser un doute sur sa persistance. Il s'agit, dans ce livre, de retracer la courbe de cette évolution : la montée progressive de la maturation de la posture d'artiste, jusqu'à l'apogée de l'artiste-roi, puis sa chute, sinon attestée, du moins annoncée. Soit, entre le presque-artiste et le post-artiste, le plein-artiste qui, outre d'avoir régné, est le fantasme que visa le premier et continuera de hanter le second.
