Sommario/riassunto |
|
Africa is on the move, demonstrating in recent years a significant potential for economic growth. Although the region still faces many challenges, it is also generating pockets of economic vitality in the form of enterprise clusters that are contributing to national, regional, and local productivity. Through case examples from Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda, this book provides an understanding of how these dynamic enterprise clusters were formed and have evolved, and how knowledge, human capital, and technology have contributed to their success. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Véritable réaction au néo-classicisme envahissant le XIXe siècle, le romantisme marqua une réelle fracture intellectuelle. Rencontré dans les textes de Victor Hugo ou de Lord Byron, ce courant s'exprima en peinture dans la touche d'Eugène Delacroix, de Caspar David Friedrich ou de William Blake. En sculpture, François Rude montra le chemin de cette nouvelle liberté artistique, dotant ses réalisations de mouvements et d'expressions qui étaient jusque-là inconnus.Retraçant les différentes étapes de son évolution, ce livre propose d'étudier les différents aspects du mouvement romantique.
