The play in numerous philosophical, literary-theoretical, and artistic texts is recognized as a constituent part of life and as one of the vital determinations of a human being. This Paper perceives the play as a fundamental principle that permeates all levels of the texts in the selected examples in the literature for children and youth of Ljubica Ostojić. We will show how Ljubica Ostojić takes the play and artistic creation as a thematic-conceptual base of her texts, focusing on structural, semantic, and language aspects of its presence in the text. The analyzed texts of Ljubica Ostojić are a helpful example of the accomplished correlation of the reality between the child and the world with elements of a fantastic discourse. In the parallel existence of realistic and fantastic, deconstructing the traditional children's literature, the author writes various types of texts for children and youth, which share the seeming disharmony and complexity of the structure.
In this article, we retrace how sustainability in our study has been communicatively constructed and how it emerged as a dynamic, but also a relatively stable, social fiction. Also, we contribute to methodological reflections on the practical relevance of the (social) imaginary for action. We rely on an empirical study that explores social science-based conversations between and among individuals who talk about the sustainability of their everyday lives. Within daily life people act sustainably to a limited extent, in conflict to the universal claim of sustainability and its normative validity. The respondents see themselves confronted with this well-known dilemma. With the aid of the documentary method, and drawing on our empirical data, we elaborate on the communicative strategies used to meet the difficult combination of sustainability's demands. We focus on patterns of justification, normative-imaginary thought experiments, and rhetorical distancing from the need for action of the present via conjunctive constructions that lean on desirable or undesirable, dystopic or utopic, alternative scenarios. Theoretically, we rely on communicative constructivism and ISER's (1991) literary-anthropological concept of feigning, applying it to the sociology of knowledge. Talk about sustainability serves as an example of how social fictions with a universal claim to validity are communicatively constructed.
New developments in feminist ecological economics and ecofeminist economics are contributing to the search for theories and policy approaches to move economies toward sustainability. This paper summa- rizes work by ecofeminists and feminist ecological economists which is relevant to the sustainability challenge and its implications for the discipline of economics. Both democracy and lower material throughputs are generally seen as basic principles of economic sustainability. Feminist theorists and feminist ecological econ- omists offer many important insights into the conundrum of how to make a democratic and equity-enhancing transition to an economy based on less material throughput. These flow from feminist research on unpaid work and caring labor, provisioning, development, valuation, social reproduction, non-monetized exchange relationships, local economies, redistribution, citizenship, equity-enhancing political institutions, and labor time, as well as creative modeling approaches and activism-based theorizing. ; This research was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
The photographic work of Gordon Parks (1912-2006) reflects the many ways in which the African American community evolved and changed during the 20th century. Taking as a starting point the concept of visibility – as tackled by George Didi-Huberman in his essay Peuples exposés, peoples figurants or Nicholas Mirzoeff in his book The Right to Look -- this thesis will question the interweaving of aesthetics and politics in Parks's monumental and eclectic photographic output. Parks's work finds its roots in the black Chicago Renaissance of the late 1930s, and then evolved under the supervision of Roy Stryker at the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during the Great Depression. For the next two decades, Parks's vision expanded as he worked for Life magazine, where he was the first African American to join the staff of photographers in 1949. If the photograph's own visibility in American and African American cultural and artistic history cannot be understated, this dissertation will try to go beyond the image of Parks as a pioneer of black photography or as a "Renaissance Man", as he was often portrayed in mainstream media. We shall strive to bring to light the ambiguities in Parks's photography which stemmed from his anchoring in different cultural spheres. His own dealings with racism and segregation as well as his knowledge of classical Western painting gave his photographic representations of the African American experience a powerful resonance. The fact that Parks chose to have his vision broadcasted on media outlets with catered mainly to a white audience, like Life magazine, generated tensions to which particular attention will be paid in this dissertation. ; L'oeuvre photographique de Gordon Parks (1912-2006) reflète les nombreuses évolutions et transformations de la communauté africaine-américaine au XXe siècle.

The deportations to Siberia of the populations consist of one of the forms of political repression carried out in the USSR under the Stalinist regime. In Lithuania, part of the former Soviet bloc, around 130,000 people were deported (1940-1941, 1945-1953). For families who survive the journey and the first particularly difficult years, a new life is woven progressively working towards a paradoxical rooting in this land of forced exile. Yet, below the potential pathogenic effects on the affected individual and group, collective violence also generates new forms of relationships and psychic life. During the exile, couples are created, and a succession comes into the world carrying a double and potentially conflictual belonging conveyed in this status of children of deportees. The de-Stalinization policy (from 1953) will gradually grant these families the right of return. But they will find a changed country, struggling with the totalitarian regime submitting their history to denial and defamation. Their persecutions and discriminations will cease only with the collapse of the USSR and the event of independence in 1990 which will mark the opening of collective commemorative spaces. Different individual and family destinies unfold as to the possibilities of getting out of a traumatic repetition, of integrating, even of creating, from this history of violence conveyed in family transmissions. For some, specific individual and collective spaces and rituals emerge, and are sometimes revisited and reinvented from one generation to the next; such as the work of (co) -writing, the (return) journey in the old places of exile, the different voices of testimony. They work within a quest for meaning, a creation of symbols, and the inscription in the memory (collective and intimate) of family history, and at the same time of the History, remained long in need of words and place. ; Les déportations en Sibérie des populations sont une des formes de répressions politiques menées dans l'EX URSS durant le régime stalinien.

In Kamanasa, a former trading kingdom controlling the south coast of East Timor, the population is of different origins. These combine inter-island migratory movements linked to the past sandalwood and wax trade and migrations from mountain settlements in the hinterland, leading to a dual ethno-linguistic identification of groups either as Tetun or Bunaq. This politity of Kamanasa has been subjected to many upheavals from outside, from ancient times to the most recent Portuguese colonization, and to the Indonesian invasion in 1975. Yet ritual life has remained particularly vibrant, and although many aspects of traditional life have been disrupted, they have been rebuilt and strengthened since the country's independence in 2002. Today, due to the setting up by the government of a mega oil and gas project, local populations which are extremely attached to the customary management of their territories and their societies are faced to an accelerated development, in a context where post- independence adjustments are not yet complete. The question thus focuses on the changes at work in a complex local society confronted to an industrial development project, and on its cultural and social resilience, focusing on the question of the territory which is central to this rooted society. To address this question, the thesis is organized into five chapters. The first chapter lays the foundations for the understanding of the field and the subject, through the presentation of the settlement waves and of history, colonization, administration and landscapes. The second chapter focuses on the way local society is structured and on the different elements it puts forward in its organization, in particular the houses. The third chapter deals with the territory and its structuring, and in particular the way in which it is managed by rituals. The changes that society has undergone in the past will be approached on the basis of oral tradition narratives, which give a glimpse of different moments in the history of the kingdom, will be ...

The concept of "Smart Cities" has emerged during the last few years to describe how investments in human and social capital and modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructure and e-services fuel sustainable growth and quality of life, enabled by a wise management of natural resources and through participative government. To us, Smart City is a real augmented environment allowing ubiquitous computing, with up-to-date web 2.0, which is collaborative, mobile and contextual, human actors as well as different things (connected objects) are now an integral part of internet. In the international France-China project on Smart City we used the MOCOCO approach (Mobility, Contextualization, Collaboration) to conduct research work with multiple applications in working, learning and social situations; professional and home working situations, professional and teenager contextual mobile learning situations as well as Smart City applications are taken into account – transportation, goods distribution and local sport and cultural activities. This dissertation focuses on Location Based Services, and Internet of Things, which are both important aspects of Smart City. The choice of dynamic management of road lanes as a case study in this thesis, is also a good practice of integrating new technologies to make the city smarter and to make our life more comfortable. According to Schiller and Voisard (2004), Location Based Services (LBS) can be defined as services that integrate a mobile device's location or position with other information so as to provide added value to a user. During recent years, LBS has evolved from simple GIS applications and positioning of emergent phone callers to more complicated, proactive, application-oriented services adapted to different users. However, heterogeneity of devices, data management and analysis, and HCI aspects are always main challenges for LBS. Our goal is to make the LBS meet the requirements of Smart City, with use of Internet of Things (IoT), integrating a certain ...
