Sommario/riassunto

The first in two decades to exclusively integrate physiological and biomechanical studies of fish locomotion, feeding and breathing, making this book both comprehensive and unique. This book reviews and integrates recent developments in research on fish biomechanics, with particular emphasis on experimental results derived from the application of innovative new technologies to this area of research, such as high-speed video, sonomicrometry and digital imaging of flow fields. The collective chapters, written by leaders in the field, provide a multidisciplinary view and synthesis of the latest i

Sommario/riassunto

Depuis quelques années l'œuvre du philosophe russe Gustave Chpet (1879-1937) est l'objet d'une réhabilitation et d'une reconnaissance internationales. Après la parution, en France, de la traduction de Vnutrennjaja forma slova (1927), sous le titre La Forme interne du mot (Kimé, Paris, 2007, trad. N. Zavialoff), nous proposons aujourd'hui celle de Javlenie i smysl : Le Phénomène et le sens. Cet ouvrage, publié à Moscou en 1914, était destiné à présenter la phénoménologie husserlienne en Russie. En fait, il allait devenir le point de départ d'une œuvre originale, alliant phénoménologie et herméneutique, et dont l'importance dans le développement du structuralisme, de la sémiotique et des sciences humaines en général est aujourd'hui



irréfutable.
