'Biografie van de Zuiderzee' vertelt de geschiedenis van de Zuiderzee aan de hand van 25 verhalen, waarin vaak mensen centraal staan. 'De Allerheiligenvloed van 1170, 850 jaar geleden, leidde tot een open verbinding tussen het Almere en de Noordzee. Het zoute water dat naar binnen stroomde werd bepalend voor de omgeving - hele dorpen en kastelen werden opgeslokt - maar ook voor de geschiedenis van het gebied, en daarmee die van Nederland. Arie Kok vertelt de geschiedenis van de Zuiderzee in 25 verhalen, waarin vaak mensen centraal staan. Van de watergeus die de Slag op de Zuiderzee (1573) overleeft tot de vroedvrouw van Schokland, van de haringvisserij tot de walvisvaart. Het boek eindigt met het sluiten van de Afsluitdijk in 1932'. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie. Geschiedenis van de Zuiderzee vanaf het ontstaan in 1170 als gevolg van een stormvloed tot aan de voltooiing van de Afsluitdijk in 1932, aan de hand van verhalen over de visserij, de zeevaart en het leven in omringende steden en dorpen.

Nos últimos anos tanto os Estados do Sul como os do Norte empenharam-se em sucessivas reformas administrativas que parecem seguir os mesmos modelos. A maior parte das leituras destes processos, no que se refere aos países do Sul, nomeadamente os africanos, persistem em invocar o seu carácter de imposição a que os doadores os submetem. Sem que se faça uma verdadeira análise a nível local e sem estudos aprofundados, estas reformas têm sido apresentadas grosso modo como fracassos. Este trabalho pretende por isso contribuir para uma leitura crítica da sua execução e das práticas resultantes da respectiva aprendizagem, como modos de exercício do poder. A partir de uma reconstituição empírica da implementação das medidas de descentralização, através do funcionamento dos municípios da cidade da Beira e das vilas de Mueda e Quissico, este livro pretende mostrar que a aprendizagem de uma reforma é influenciada pela historicidade das relações entre Estado e sociedade dentro do espaço da sua execução. Combinando diversas abordagens de sociologia histórica para o estudo da administração, através destas reformas sucessivas, de sociologia de construção do Estado e de sociologia de acção pública, o trabalho defende a ideia de que a reforma da administração, nomeadamente a descentralizadora, ao permitir uma modificação das formas de articulação entre administração e cidadãos, participa na recomposição do Estado. Com efeito a observação empírica do funcionamento quotidiano dos municípios permite percebê-los como novas arenas de difusão e de aprendizagem entre Estado e administrados. Trata-se de um processo que deve resituar- se forçosamente na intersecção dos desafios específicos dos lugares de implementação e dos quadros subjacentes às reformas.

L’étude de la famille dans le Nord de l’Afrique, et dans les sociétés musulmanes, a connu ces quinze dernières années des développements fort intéressants en raison des transformations des codes familiaux, ainsi que du déploiement de nouvelles technologies dans le domaine de la reproduction et des questions bioéthiques qui l’accompagnent (Bras, 2007 ; Bonte, Benkheira, 2009-2010 ; Clarke, 2009 ; Fortier, 2010 ; Voorhoeve, 2012 ; Benkheira et al., 2013). Celles-ci traduisent par ailleurs des mutations sociétales importantes et profondes (augmentation de la population urbaine, de l’accès à l’éducation et du travail salarié féminin, notamment) et une relecture des normes islamiques et/ou traditionnelles/coutumières, notamment en matière d’égalité entre hommes et femmes. Toutefois, alors qu’une vaste littérature aborde le sujet des transformations de la famille en Europe et ailleurs, sous l’angle de la parentalité (parenthood) – repenser la famille à partir de l’enfant et de son bien-être –, force est de constater que les travaux dans cette perspective sont rares s’agissant des sociétés du Nord de l’Afrique, et plus largement des sociétés musulmanes. Cet ouvrage constitue donc une contribution à l’étude de la parentalité en Afrique musulmane, avec un focus particulier sur les pays de l’Afrique du Nord. L’objectif, ici, est de renouveler les questionnements, les perspectives et les analyses s’agissant des constances et des transformations des liens familiaux en contexte musulman africain. Les directeurs de la publication souhaitent remercier Sabrina Mervin, l'ancienne directrice du Centre Jacques Berque, pour le soutien apporté au programme à l'origine de cet ouvrage collectif.

"'Palestinian Traditional Pottery' stands out, first and foremost, as a scholarly testimony to the disappeared and disappearing craft of traditional pottery making by Palestinian women and men potters. It offers a contribution that has been long awaited and is long overdue. The material it provides, both textual and pictorial, is based on field research completed in the 1970s by two very different, yet complementary, researchers and authors. For various reasons, this material lay dormant over four decades until it was retrieved and returned to the light of day. The occasion for the creation of the volume was the death in 2017 in the U.S. of one of the authors, John Landgraf. Fortunately, the other author, Owen Rye in Australia, had most of the written material still in his possession, which was then digitized, arranged, and edited. The graphic material, especially the black and white - and beautiful color - photographs, taken by the two authors, was also gathered and cataloged for use in the book. The photographs of the women potters are particularly poignant, since they date to the final decade of their pottery making activity. Assembling and producing the book required months of painstaking collaborative work by the editors and the layout artist, with results that are worthy of their efforts. This volume invites readers into the two distinct worlds of Palestinian women and men potters at work in the 1970s: the women in or outside their village homes, and the men in their mostly urban workshops. With Palestinian culture under siege, the scholarship presented here aims to record and preserve a key part of that culture. It stands out equally as a memorial volume for John Landgraf, who lived in Jerusalem from 1965 to 1980, dedicating himself to archaeology, ethnography, and social work." --

This book investigates the multifaceted nature of change in today’s Nordic Arctic and the necessary research and policy development required to address the challenges and opportunities currently faced by this region. It focuses its attention on the recent efforts of the Nordic community to create specialized Centers of Excellence in Arctic Research in order to facilitate this process of scientific inquiry and policy articulation. The volume seeks to describe both the steps that lead to this decision and the manner in which this undertaking as evolved. The work highlights the research efforts of the four Centers and their investigations of a variety of issues including those related to ecosystem and wildlife management, the revitalization resource dependent communities, the emergence of new climate-born diseases and the development of adequate modeling techniques to assist northern communities in their efforts at adaptation and resilience building. Major discoveries and insights arising from these and other efforts are detailed and possible policy implications considered. The book also focuses attention on the challenges of creating and supporting multidisciplinary teams of researchers to investigate such concerns and the methods and means for facilitating their collaboration and the integration of their findings to form new and useful perspectives on the nature of change in the contemporary Arctic. It also provides helpful consideration and examples of how local and indigenous communities can be engaged in the co-production of knowledge regarding the region. The volume discusses how such research findings can be best communicated and shared between scientists, policymakers and northern residents. It considers the challenges of building common concern not just among different research disciplines but also between bureaucracies and the public. Only when this bridge-building effort is undertaken can true pathways to action be established. .
