• Sommario/riassunto: Managing rapid urban growth presents a significant challenge in the small independent countries of the Pacific Islands. Although they originated in colonial times, the towns and cities are now distinctively post-colonial, with economies, environments and social structures that reflect unique island characteristics. This transformation has stimulated new concerns, such as the causes and effects of pollution, the need for employment for landless migrants, the need for adequate and affordable housing and the financing of expanding urban services.This book explores the diversity of the urban exper

• Sommario/riassunto: Une étude culturelle des concepts et des modes de représentation du monstrueux ne saurait faire abstraction des rapports étroits que celui-ci, en tant qu’altérité, entretient avec ce qui fonde l’iden­tité : l’humain. L’interdépendance et la complémen­tarité de ces deux notions (aussi bien, des idées et des images qu’elles engendrent) ouvrent une per­spective sur plusieurs domaines culturels : celui de Yépistèmé et des ordres discursifs, celui de la diffé­rence, mais aussi de l’analogie de phénomènes, en apparence, incompatibles, et celui, enfin, de la fascination esthétique que suscite le monstrueux au moment de son imagination et de sa manifes­tation, notamment dans la littérature et les arts, de l’Antiquité à l’extrême contemporain. Loin d’être de simples images de l’autre, les représentations du monstrueux nous parlent de l’humain : elles incitent à réfléchir sur ce qui est notre essence, elles éclairent les zones d’ombre qui se cachent en nous ou dans la société et démasquent les discours humanistes bon marché. L’art et la littérature nous tendent le monstrueux comme un miroir déformant : c’est, non pas en fuyant, mais en soutenant le regard de Méduse que nous apprenons, dans la fascination et dans l’épouvante, à mieux nous connaître.
