Abstract

Multiculturalism has been the official policy of all Australian governments (Commonwealth and State) since the 1970's. It has recently been criticised, both in Australia and elsewhere. Integration has been suggested as a better term and policy. Critics suggest it is a reversion to assimilation. However integration has not been rigorously defined and may simply be another form of multiculturalism, which the authors believe to have been vital in sustaining social harmony.

Abstract

Fortunately, in our country, there is already a national conscience - in formation, it is true - that introduces the element of human dignity into our legislation, and for which slavery, although hereditary, is a real stain of Cain that the Brazil brings to the fore.

Abstract

Le réseau «Économie et développement urbain durable» a comme ambition de contribuer au développement de la recherche économique dans le domaine du développement urbain durable en prenant en compte les préoccupations des acteurs socio-économiques (élus, entreprises, associations). Ce réseau rassemble sept équipes de recherche : • le Centre international de recherche sur l'environnement et le développement (CIRED); • le Laboratoire d'économie de la production et de l'intégration internationale (LEPII); • le Laboratoire d'économie des transports (LET); • le Laboratoire ville, mobilité, transports (LVMT); • l'École des MINES ParisTech; • le Département économie et sciences humaines du Centre scientifique et technique du bâtiment; • la Mission climat de la Caisse des dépôts. Ce livre présente les travaux exposés et partagés lors de la deuxième réunion annuelle du réseau en 2010. Ces travaux sont dédiés aux inventaires des émissions urbaines et aux politiques publiques en faveur de la maîtrise de ces émissions dans le bâtiment ainsi qu'à la problématique de l'usage des sols dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre de politiques publiques des transports.

Abstract

La ville jordanienne a historiquement peu contribué à la construction nationale, l'élément décisif ayant été l'allégeance directe à la monarchie hachémite. L'urbain serait en Jordanie un espace peu favorable à l'expression d'une citoyenneté détachée des appartenances primaires. Pourtant, au sein de la capitale, des citadins parviennent à lancer des initiatives de participation citoyenne au service de la collectivité, manifestant leur appartenance à une élite urbaine post-moderne et faisant même participer la ville à une ± citoyenneté mondiale?. Ce livre aborde par la ville la question abondamment étudiée de l'identité nationale et de la citoyenneté en Jordanie, en montrant les formes d'intégration et de démarcation des différentes composantes de la population dans l'espace urbain. Il adopte une approche diachronique qui présente le rôle des villes dans la construction nationale jordanienne, puis les modes de gestion des espaces urbains et enfin les pratiques individuelles de l'urbain détachées des affiliations primaires. Jordanian towns have not been incorporated into the building of the nation, nor have they been considered in the definition of what Jordan is, the decisive factor being direct allegiance to the Hashemite monarchy. Jordanian towns are not a favourable environment for the expression of citizenship free from primary affiliations. However, in the capital, city residents manage to launch initiatives for citizen participation for the community, showing they belong to a post-modern urban elite and even making the city participate in a form of "global citizenship". This book addresses through urban life the extensively studied issue of national identity and citizenship in Jordan, examining the forms of integration and?

Abstract

Au sein des sociétés capitalistes avancées, la question de l’appropriation des technologies numériques d’information et de communication (TNIC) s’impose comme une problématique centrale. Si le facteur technique n’est pas une préoccupation majeure de la raison sociologique contemporaine, les sciences sociales peuvent néanmoins se prévaloir d’un nombre très important de travaux conduits ces trente dernières années sur les usages de l’informatique connectée, tant dans la sphère domestique que dans les espaces professionnels. Réunissant les contributions de dix chercheurs réputés, cet ouvrage n’a pas pour objectif de proposer une dissertation théorique mais, dans une démarche résolument polyphonique, d’offrir un ensemble de travaux pertinents et originaux.

Abstract

"The question Professor Li Wuwei investigates is not 'whether' creativity is changing China - but 'how' creativity is changing China. The outcome will have a profound impact on how China develops and its economic role in the world. Creative industries maintain and protect historical and cultural heritage, improve cultural capital, and foster communities as well as individual creativity. This leads to the improvement of cultural assets of cities, the establishment of city brands and identity, the promotion of the creative economy, and overall economic and social development. In this context, creativity is changing China forever."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

"Links" are among the most basic---and most unexamined---features of online life. Bringing together a prominent array of thinkers from industry and the academy, The Hyperlinked Society addresses a provocative series of questions about the ways in which hyperlinks organize behavior online. How do media producers' considerations of links change the way they approach their work, and how do these considerations in turn affect the ways that audiences consume news and entertainment? What role do economic and political considerations play in information producers' creation of links? How do links shape the size and scope of the public sphere in the digital age? Are hyperlinks "bridging" mechanisms that encourage people to see beyond their personal beliefs to a broader and more diverse world? Or do they simply reinforce existing bonds by encouraging people to ignore social and political perspectives that conflict with their existing interests and beliefs? This pathbreaking collection of essays will be valuable to anyone interested in the now taken for granted connections that structure communication, commerce, and civic discourse in the world of digital media. "This collection provides a broad and deep examination of the social, political, and economic implications of the evolving, web-based media environment. The Hyperlinked Society will be a very useful contribution to the scholarly debate about the role of the internet in modern society, and especially about the interaction between the internet and other media systems in modern society." ---Charles Steinfield, Professor and Chairperson, Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media, Michigan State University Joseph Turow is Robert Lewis Shayon Professor at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania.
