• Sommario/riassunto: Cet ouvrage émane des travaux menés au sein du Centre de Recherche sur Idéologie et Discours (C.R.I.D.) sur les manifestations espagnoles d'avant-garde en Catalogne. Territoire privilégié des échanges avec l'Europe et de la pénétration des influences extérieures, la Catalogne occupe une place décisive dans le panorama des Avant-gardes de la péninsule ibérique. La Première Guerre Mondiale, en particulier, en provoquant l'exil d'écrivains et d'artistes à Barcelone a consolidé cette ouverture et la recherche d'une modernité active. Si la production des poètes Salvat-Papasseit et J.V. Foix et des peintres Barradas, Torres-García et Miró, évidemment non exhaustive, peut paraître apparemment hétéroclite, peut-être faut-il chercher la cohérence de l'ensemble, au-delà de l'implantation dans un même espace, dans la référence à une même idée, à savoir l'indissociable formule: rupture/catalanité. Engagée dans un processus de mise en normes et d'affirmation nationale, l'intelligentsia catalane a reçu dans la méfiance de telles manifestations. La rupture des codes préconisée en littérature ; par Salvat-Papasseit et, dans le domaine des arts plastiques, par Barradas et Torres-García s'est avérée prématurée. Ce n'est que dans la mesure où Ils pouvaient être associés à la quête de l'identité nationale que ces mouvements d'avant-garde ont trouvé, avec J.V. Foix et Miró, la place ultérieure qui leur revient dans la culture catalane.

• Sommario/riassunto: The world of tertiary education has changed significantly in the past fifteen years. Developing countries have seen tremendous enrollment growth, especially in the private sector. Many nations are facing an exponentially rising demand as more young people graduate from high school as a result of the successful implementation of the Education for All agenda. The launch of the Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations in September 2015 has given renewed consideration to the importance of education for development and the urgency of putting in place viable financing strategies. Against this background this book explores the crucial role played by tertiary education towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It observes that tertiary education finds itself at a crossroad today, as national systems are pulled in several directions by a combination of factors—crisis factors, rupture factors, and stimulation factors—bringing about both opportunities and challenges. How these forces in the tertiary education ecosystem play out in each country will determine the new ; “perils” and “promises” that are likely to shape the contribution of tertiary education to economic and social development in the years to come.
