Sommario/riassunto |
|
The ten essays in this volume deal with the debates and conflicts about modernity in a period of American history when the tensions and strains caused by seemingly unrestrained change and the reactions to it were particularly severe and tangible. Partly concentrating on the margins or dark underworlds of modernity, such as racism and violence, partly focusing on the allegedly unlimited space to negotiate and create social order from scratch, the contributions to this volume show that, and discuss why, modernity was an issue in contemporary United States which seemed to have been even more hotly contested than in Europe at the same time, albeit sometimes in terms of "Americanism" rather than "modernism". In this book, European scholars of the United States apply variations on the transnational discourse on modernity to unexpected dimensions of U.S. history, making this volume a fascinating example of the present-day enterprise of internationalizing American studies. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Grâce à l'observation continue des océans, les satellites permettent de dresser un état de plus en plus précis du « paysage océanique ». Ce paysage, affiné en temps quasi réel, est précieux pour les pécheurs qui peuvent alors localiser les concentrations de poissons et ainsi réduire significativement leur poste de prospection. Ce même paysage, porté à la connaissance des gestionnaires publics des pêcheries et des |

spécialistes de la dynamique des populations de poissons, est une information incontournable pour établir les bases et règlements d'une gestion durable de la ressource. La lecture des données satellitaires donne par ailleurs aux scientifiques des clés pour la compréhension des déplacements des bancs de poissons à différentes échelles spatio-temporelles ainsi que certains paramètres nécessaires au calcul du potentiel halieutique des régions océaniques. À partir de l'étude de la pêche palangrière à l'espadon depuis l'île de la Réunion, cet ouvrage présente l'approche de l'halieutique opérationnelle par télédétection et la démarche scientifique associée, tout en en indiquant les limites. Il donne également les outils et méthodes de télédétection ainsi que des exemples d'analyse croisée des données environnementales et des captures. Professionnels de la pèche, gestionnaires publics ou chercheurs pourront ainsi établir leur propre diagnostic en rapport avec leurs préoccupations. The Survey of Environment Assisted by Satellite (SEAS) programme and concept have been running at the IRD centre in Réunion in the Indian Ocean since the early 1990s.They were applied to local and regional longline fishing grounds in 2000 and 2001. The work on Réunion longline fishing is used here as a case study to demonstrate the potential of the concept and the associated sdentific work without concealing its limits and difficultés of application. The remote sensing tool and methodology and the cross-referenced analysis of environmental and fishing data are also described. Readers… |
