Il présente tout d’abord les études antérieures sur le problème de l’esclavage et sur l’esclavage en Inde, puis examine les antécédents de l’esclavage en Inde d’après les données fournies par la



civilisation de l’Indus et le Ṛgveda, l’esclavage à l’époque du Buddha, les règles sur l’esclavage de Kauṭilya et l’esclavage d’après les épopées.  The present volume in French examines the origins and development of slavery in ancient India through the study of all relevant historical, social, economic and political data found in certain texts in Pāli and Sanskrit.

Food with a face -- Heritage building markets -- Open-air pavilion



markets -- Pop-up canopy markets -- A way of life and living.

Sommario/riassunto

"This book draws attention to the simple but elusive architectural space of public and farmers markets. It discusses three seminal types of markets--heritage building, open-air pavilion, and pop-up canopy-- demonstrating the characteristics of each type using a mixture of narrative and illustration. The narrative combines historically informed architectural observation with interview material drawn from conversations the author has had over the years with market managers, vendors, and shoppers. The illustrations include an appealing variety of photos, diagrams, and drawings that enabled the author to view each market through an architectural lens based on eight scales of measure--the hand, the container, the person, the stall, a grouping of stalls, the street, the block, and the market's situation within the neighborhood. Some of the architectural elements discussed include walls that layer, openings that frame, roofs that encompass, and niches that embrace. While each of the case studies illustrates shared characteristics of one of the architectural typologies, each farmers market is distinct in the specific ways it reflects the local culture and environment. Ultimately, in viewing markets through these three types and eight scales of measure we are able to better appreciate how farmers markets foster social interaction and community engagement"--

Introduction Ubuntu Unchained: A Travelling Concept -- 1 Ubuntu and Common Humanity in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission -- 2 Ubuntu in Transit: From Divisive Pasts to Open Futures -- 3 Facing Others: Towards an Ethics of Ubuntu -- 4 “The Ubuntu Strategy”:The Commodification and Affective Politics of Ubuntu -- Afterword: Ubuntu Security.

Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the ways in which ubuntu is continuously shaped and reshaped in different media in contemporary South African culture, such as literature, photography, cartoon art, journalistic fiction, and commercial television. It also studies ubuntu’s recent global



dissemination and commodification, and critically assesses various approaches to ubuntu from different disciplines. From these various uses, ubuntu emerges as a powerful tool for thinking through problems of social in- and exclusion, and provides a nuanced perspective on what it means to strive for social harmony and communal unity. Ubuntu Strategies attends to the cultural production of ubuntu and argues that it is not just about being part of a common humanity, but also involves strategic decisions that balance self and other, particular and universal, local and global, difference and sameness, as well as violence and safety. The literary and cultural theoretical approach offered in Ubuntu Strategies thus provides a new perspective that addresses the role of representation in ubuntu, both supplementing and challenging legal and political inquiries of the concept. .
