Sommario/riassunto

The EU has, for a long time, portrayed itself as an international leader on climate change. Previous studies have tended to focus on the characteristics of EU leadership, but have failed to examine the extent to which EU leadership generates 'followship'. This book analyzes EU climate policies towards China and India in order to provide a holistic assessment of EU climate leadership, and makes three key arguments.

Sommario/riassunto

Crossing Borders showcases intellectual attempts to commit the process of African interrogation of postcoloniality and postmodernity to the exploration of perspectives on black identities and interactions of contemporary cultural expressions beyond the borders of Africa and across the Atlantic. We have particularised on theoretical and critical perspectives that show how the controversial influence of westernisation of Africa has demanded remedial visions and counteractive propositions to the cycle of abuses and fragmentation of the continent. We have consequently distilled some very significant historic and informative insights on modern African and black literary traditions methodically espoused to articulate the greater unity in the diversities, fusions and hybrids that have been embedded in the external and subjective realities of our universe.

Sommario/riassunto

Ce volume rassemble des textes en anthropologie, histoire de l'art, musicologie, histoire du cinéma, réunis pour construire ensemble un véritable objet pluridisciplinaire : l'art est ici examiné comme processus, depuis les modèles cognitifs et conceptuels étudiés dans les contextes de sa création jusqu'à l'impact politique et sociétal de sa réception. La première partie considère des objets aussi divers que la création musicale contemporaine, la mise en récit(s) de la photographie dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle en France et la production de bronzes au XIXe siècle sous l'angle de leurs processus créatifs. Sa deuxième partie examine les espaces muséaux : ils peuvent être considérés comme des « zones de contact » plus ou moins asymétriques et jouent aujourd'hui un rôle crucial dans la mise en valeur de pratiques et d'objets considérés comme mineurs ou marginaux. Enfin, la dernière partie propose d'interroger l'articulation entre culture et politique au regard de contextes sociaux, politiques et historiques distincts.
