Sommario/riassunto

A decade has passed since the Asian crisis of 1997-1998 which decimated many of the regional economies. While the crisis itself led to severe economic and political consequences, its primary cause was an inappropriate mix of policies, as regional economies attempted to simultaneously maintain fairly rigid exchange rates (soft US dollar pegs) and monetary policy autonomy in the presence of large-scale capital outflows. The chapters in this volume focus on selected exchange rate, monetary and financial issues and policies that are of contemporary relevance and importance to Asia, including choic

Sommario/riassunto

L’un des signes distinctifs du xxe siècle est l’émancipation du silence dans l’écriture, le désir de comprendre l’écriture hors de la domination du logos. Il y va d’une métamorphose du silence dans l’écriture du xxe siècle et d’une métamorphose de l’écriture du xxe siècle par la densité nouvelle du silence. L’enjeu est celui d’une critique de l’écriture par le silence en vue d’une façon neuve de penser l’écriture. Cette recherche engage une tentative de définition de l’écriture au xxe siècle en termes de tension entre le mot et le silence.  Les questions soumises au travail collectif sont nombreuses : quelle est l’origine (onto logique, métaphysique, historique) de l’ascendant du silence dans l’écriture du xxe siècle ? Quelle est la nature et la fonction de ce silence ? Pourquoi le silence tend-il à être, au xxe siècle, une limite à laquelle l’écrire ne cesse de se heurter et de se mesurer ? En quoi la question du silence pose-t-elle celle de la légitimité de l’écriture au xxe siècle ? Comment le silence s’incarne-t-il dans la matière verbale ?  Une architecture bâtie en fonction des genres littéraires a paru la plus apte à mettre en relief la remarquable polysémie du silence inentendue jusque-là : est tour à tour étudié l’échange de substance entre roman et silence, théâtre et silence, poésie et silence. L’élargissement de la réflexion à la musique et à la danse s’impose de lui-même tant le silence acquiert au xxe siècle une valeur et une fécondité musicales et chorégraphiques fondamentales. S’impose aussi l’élargissement de la recherche au cinéma qui est indissociable d’une exploration des possibles du silence.

Sommario/riassunto

This book offers unparalleled insight into the ways in which hate crime affects individuals and communities across the world. Drawing from the testimonies of more than 2,000 victims of hate crime, the book



identifies the physical, emotional and community-level harms associated with hate crimes and key implications for justice in the context of punitive, restorative, rehabilitative and educative interventions. Hate crime constitutes one of the biggest global challenges of our time and blights the lives of millions of people across the world. Within this context the book generates important new knowledge on victims' experiences and expectations, and uses its compelling evidence-base to identify fresh ways of understanding, researching and responding to hate crime. It also documents the sensitivities associated with undertaking complex fieldwork of this nature, and in doing so offers an authentic account of the very necessary - and sometimes unconventional - steps which are fundamental to the process of engaging with 'hard-to-reach' communities. .
