Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book reveals the importance of personal letters in the history of European women between the year 1000 and the advent of the telephone. It explores the changing ways that women used correspondence for self-expression and political mobilization over this period, enabling them to navigate the myriad gendered restrictions that limited women's engagement in the world. Whether written from the medieval cloister, or the renaissance court, or the artisan's workshop, or the drawing room, letters crossed geographical and social distance and were mobile in ways that women themselves could not always be. Women wrote to govern, to argue, to plead, and to demand. They also wrote to express love and intimacy, and in so doing, to explain and to understand themselves. This book argues that the personal letter was a crucial place for European women's self-fashioning, and that exploring |

Sommario/riassunto |

Cet ouvrage est le fruit d’une collaboration entre climatologues, hydrologues et biogéographes tunisiens et français, entretenant un dialogue d’une rive à l’autre de la Méditerranée. Son contenu privilégie le quantitatif, le chiffre, plus que le rêve cher à Bachelard. Les volumes d’eau en mètres cube, par dizaines ou par milliards, et les hauteurs d’eau, en millimètres ou en mètres, y sont plus présents que le rare, le précieux, le beau et le poétique. Eau et environnement met délibérément l’accent sur les anomalies plus que sur les régularités. Le trop pluvieux, le trop sec, le trop mal réparti, le trop érosif, le trop mal exploité, le trop mal utilisé… y sont déclinés à diverses échelles, du pays au bassin versant élémentaire, en passant par les régions où se révèlent les déséquilibres de la ressource et de son utilisation. Eau et environnement s’inscrit dans un temps précis, la fin du xxe siècle, et brosse un état des lieux propre à la Tunisie et à la France, avec une |

courte référence à l’Algérie. L’ambition de la communauté de chercheurs qui ont contribué à cet ouvrage est néanmoins d’élargir les visions sectorielles des questions de l’eau à des approches dites intégrées, globales ou systémiques, susceptibles de se décliner sur d’autres espaces. Flotte cet esquif au fil du grand courant des études dédiées à l’eau ! This volume is the result of a collaboration between Tunisian and French climatologists, hydrologists and biogeographers who have engaged in a dialogue from one shore of the Mediterranean to the other. In terms of content it concentrates on quantitative data and figures rather than Bachelard’s cherished dream. Water volumes expressed in tens or thousands of cubic metres, and water levels, in millimetres or metres, feature more prominently than rare, precious, beautiful or poetic details. Eau et environnement deliberately focuses on anomalies more than regularities. Excessive rainfall, insufficient rainfall, where water is too unevenly distributed,… |
