Sommario/riassunto

Les sociétés traditionnelles connaissent-elles l’amour ? Le débat demeure toujours ouvert entre la position de certains courants en sciences humaines (sociologie, anthropologie…) pour qui seul l’Occident connaîtrait l’amour, et celle défendue par les littéraires et les psychologues, qui soutiennent le contraire.  Entre ces deux tendances, cet ouvrage rend compte des multiples compromis opérés par différentes sociétés d’Asie (Chine, Corée, Japon, Népal, Inde) et de l’Océan Indien (Madagascar) pour naviguer entre des expressions



individuelles de l’amour, s’inspirant des pratiques occidentales, et les normes sociales qui les contrôlent fortement. Les enquêtes ethnographiques menées sur les pratiques en vigueur de nos jours montrent comment ces compromis s’expriment toujours dans des « institutions de l’amour » menant la plupart du temps au mariage. Ces institutions se manifestent dans trois domaines : le choix du conjoint, l'expression des sentiments amoureux et les rites de mariage. Si les individus de ces sociétés font maintenant de « l’amour romantique » une de leurs valeurs, il n’en reste pas moins qu'ils doivent l'accorder aux traditions familiales. Dans cette composition, le sentiment amoureux, loin d’être une élaboration individuelle, est socialement construit et participe de l’ordre social.  Do traditional societies know love? The debate is still open between certain currents in the social sciences (sociology, anthropology) which hold that only the West knows what love is, and the position defended by literature and psychology that takes an opposite viewpoint.  Between these two tendencies, this work presents the multiple compromises adopted by several Asian (China, Korea, Japan, Nepal and India) and Indian Ocean (Madagascar) societies to navigate through individual expressions of love inspired by occidental practice, and the social norms that exert such profound control over them. Ethnographic research into todays’ practices show how these compromises emerge…

Sommario/riassunto

The guidance contained in the almost 2000 pages of the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the various agency supplements are just a part of the resources government acquisition professionals need to do their jobs effectively. Accessing and understanding case law is equally important to a thorough understanding of government contracting. Legal decisions explain the Government Accountability Office's and the courts' views on how procurement statutes and regulations apply in a wide range of situations. Case law also gives potential bid protesters and agencies a way to gauge the likely outcome of
