Sommario/riassunto |
|
The situation of the Aral Sea is known as one of the worst man-made environmental crises of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Many have seen the satellite photos evidencing the startling shrinkage and |

deterioration of the sea, as it was a few decades ago and how it appears today. Whereas the Aral Sea was the world’s fourth-largest inland body of water in 1960, it has now shrunk to a small fraction of that within three increasingly saline and polluted parts, primarily due to the diversion of waters for agricultural irrigation. The Aral Sea Encyclopedia is devoted to the remarkable phenomenon of the possibility of Aral Sea’s imminent disappearance from the Earth in the time span of a single human generation. It first describes the sea before it started drying-out, and then the actions and efforts of the Central Asian countries, as well as the international community, to mitigate the socioeconomic and environmental hazards caused by this desiccation and increasing salinity. This comprehensive reference not only addresses the key environmental issues and presents national and international programs. It also documents the history of the related research studies, the involvement of prominent historical figures, and the chronology of events over three centuries, which became the milestones in the economic development of the Aral Sea and its subsequent diminution. The publication of the Aral Sea Encyclopedia initiates a group of similar valuable references that gather multi-disciplinary perspectives on the world's seas, including planned volumes on the Caspian and Black Seas and the Sea of Japan. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Ce livre présente les récits de nombreuses voyageuses d’expression française en Orient aux XIXe et XXe siècles, certaines bien connues du public, d’autres totalement oubliées. Leurs récits sont examinés à travers deux paradigmes principaux, celui du désert (espace ouvert) et celui du harem (espace fermé), le premier semblant peu à peu remplacer le second. Natascha Ueckmann met en lumière les |

particularités du regard féminin sur l’Orient et observe les attitudes des voyageuses d’un point de vue résolument féministe. Le féminisme est ici utilisé comme instrument d’analyse littéraire, mais sans aucune forme de complaisance à l’égard des préjugés des voyageuses et de leur attitude parfois coloniale à l’égard des Orientaux et des Orientales. Sans nier le désir d’autonomie et de découverte de l’altérité des voyageuses, Natascha Ueckmann dessine ainsi les contours d’un orientalisme au féminin qu’elle examine avec les instruments des études de genre et des études postcoloniales. Elle cherche à mettre en évidence la façon dont les femmes européennes s’inventent elles-mêmes en se situant dans un champ de tension entre désir de découverte de l’ailleurs et volonté de confirmer leurs idées préconçues. Un ouvrage résolument actuel sur les questions de féminisme et sur la notion d’orientalisme. |
