La Guyane, délimitée par ses fleuves-frontières, l'Oyapock et le Maroni, est un territoire amazonien français d'Amérique du Sud, remarquable par la richesse de sa biodiversité. Le littoral guyanais, qui s'étend sur 350 kilomètres entre les estuaires de ces deux fleuves, est extrêmement instable, sans cesse modifié par des bancs de vase formés par les sédiments charriés depuis le delta de l'Amazone au Brésil qui se déplacent le long des côtes. S'y développe une mangrove, parmi les mieux préservées au monde, au coeur d'enjeux écologiques considérables du fait de son rôle de nourricerie et de nurserie pour de nombreuses espèces et de sa capacité à stocker le carbone. Très productive en matière de pêche, les franges maritimes guyanaises subissent de fortes pressions sur les ressources halieutiques tandis que de nombreux changements socio-environnementaux s'opèrent sous l'effet d'une forte croissance démographique et de migrations humaines importantes. La Guyane doit ainsi relever aujourd'hui de nombreux défis environnementaux, humains et économiques. Cet ouvrage, richement illustré, est à la fois une vitrine du littoral guyanais et de ces estuaires exceptionnels, et une invitation à repenser les intéractions entre l'homme et son environnement.

A presente História do Fado, de Pinto de Carvalho (Tinop), constitui não só o mais importante texto até hoje elaborado sobre as origens e o desenvolvimento do Fado, como também um saborosíssimo painel da vida de Lisboa na segunda metade do século XIX. Dois critérios presidem à escolha dos títulos desta colecção, critérios esses já sugeridos no próprio nome que a encabeça - Portugal de Perto. Em primeiro lugar, todos eles se reportam ao espaço português, estudando os mais diversos aspectos da sua cultura (poderíamos dizer: das suas culturas). Em segundo lugar, esse estudo é feito mais ou menos de perto, com base num trabalho de recolha directa, e propõe-se, algumas das vezes, trazer para mais perto fatias do real descuradas ou desconhecidas. Tudo isso nos limites de uma área disciplinar que, grosso modo, vai da Etnografia à Antropolpgia, e dirigindo-se não só aos estudiosos e especialistas, como também à curiosidade do grande público.

Containing ballads of martial heroism, tales of tragic lovers and visions of the nature of the world this book is a rich repository of songs collected amongst the Mongghul of the Seven Valleys, on the northeast Tibetan Plateau in western China. These songs represent the apogee of Mongghul oral literature, and they provide valuable insights into the lives of Mongghul people-their hopes, dreams, and worries. They bear testimony to the impressive plurilingual repertoire commanded by some Mongghul singers: the original texts in Tibetan, Mongghul, and Chinese are here presented in Mongghul, Chinese, and English. The kaleidoscope of stories told in these songs include that of Marshall Qi, a chieftain from the Seven Valleys who travels to Luoyang with his Mongghul army to battle rebels; Laarimbu and Qiimunso, a pair of star-crossed lovers who take revenge from beyond the grave on the families that kept them apart; and the Crop-Planting Song and the Sheep Song, which map the physical and spiritual terrain of the Mongghul people, vividly describing the physical and cosmological world in which they exist. This collection of songs is supported by an Introduction by Gerald Roche that provides an understanding of their traditional context, and shows that these works offer insights into the practices of multi lingualism in Tibet. Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet is vital reading for researchers and others working on oral literature, as well as those who study Inner Asia, Tibet, and China’s ethnic minorities. Finally, this book is of interest to linguistic anthropologists and sociolinguists, particularly those working on small-scale multi lingualism and pre-colonial multi lingualism.
