Sommario/riassunto

This groundbreaking book on modern Palestinian culture goes beyond the usual focal point of the 1948 war to address the earlier, formative years. Drawing on previously unavailable biographies of Palestinians (including Palestinian Jews), Salim Tamari offers eleven vignettes of Palestine's cultural life in the momentous first half of the twentieth century. He brings to light the memoirs, diaries, letters, and other writings of six Jerusalem intellectuals whose lives spanned (and



defined) the period of 1918-1948: a musician, a teacher, a former aristocrat, a doctor, a Bolshevik revolutionary, and a Jewish novelist. These essays present an integrated cultural history that illuminates a watershed in the modern social history of the Arab East, the formulation of the Arab Enlightenment.

Sommario/riassunto

En examinant les discours et les pratiques du management et de la formation professionnelle aujourd'hui, on ne peut manquer d'etre frappe par le decalage entre l'usage inflationniste de la notion de competence et la grande banalite du contenu conceptuel actuellement donne a cette 'logique competence' soi-disant revolutionnaire. Le present ouvrage voudrait etre une contribution a la comprehension du concept de competence, pour en determiner les conditions d'un usage



plus pertinent et plus legitime.
