Sommario/riassunto

Comment l’anthropologie peut-elle faire bouger les choses ? L’œuvre de Colette Pétonnet (1929-2012) est tout entière une réponse à cette question. L’enjeu de cet ouvrage est d’en rendre compte, en réinterrogeant la singularité de sa démarche et en donnant à voir son actualité dans la recherche contemporaine. Ancrée dans la tradition ethnologique française, mais élaborée sur le terrain alors atypique des banlieues françaises, son œuvre fut en son temps pionnière et resta



longtemps solitaire, même si elle fonda avec Jacques Gutwirth, le Laboratoire d’anthropologie urbaine du CNRS en 1983. Sans s’inscrire dans une perspective militante, ni même engagée, Colette Pétonnet, qui s’était intensément acclimatée à la réalité des villes marocaines, a proposé une autre vision de l’urbain et de l’humain, un décentrement du regard qui poursuivit sa révolution critique autour du monde, plaidant pour un déplacement efficace des conceptions et des sensibilités. Son approche est exemplaire d’une ethnologie du proche, faisant voir lucidement ce que la ville occulte, ignore ou préfère rejeter ; une anthropologie qui entend secouer et changer les perceptions. On peut en saisir l’héritage dans cet ouvrage, dont nombre de contributions témoignent de la façon dont, à son exemple, les chercheures, ont su s’approprier les leçons d’une vraie prise de risque, appliquée à des territoires proches ou lointains. En confrontant le contexte passé des premiers travaux sur l’habitat précaire et ces regards neufs sur la diversité de l’urbain dans le monde d’aujourd’hui, des spécialistes de différentes disciplines proposent un hommage inédit à l’œuvre de Colette Pétonnet.

Sommario/riassunto

What significations did Egypt have for the Romans a century after Actium and afterwards? How did Greek imperial authors respond to the Roman fascination with the Nile? This book explores Egypt's aftermath beyond the hostility of Augustan rhetoric, and Greek and Roman topoi of Egyptian "barbarism." Set against history and material culture, Julio-Claudian, Flavian, Antonine, and Severan authors reveal a multivalent Egypt that defines Rome's increasingly diffuse identity while remaining a tertium quid between Roman Selfhood and foreign Otherness. Vespasian's Alexandrian uprising, his recognition of Egypt as his power basis, and his patronage of Isis re-conceptualize Egypt past the ideology of Augustan conquest. The imperialistic exhilaration and moral angst attending Rome's Flavian cosmopolitanism find an expressive means in the geographically and semantically nebulous Nile. The rapprochement with Egypt continues in the second and early third centuries. The "Hellenic" Antonines and the African-Syrian Severans expand perceptions of geography and identity within an increasingly decentralized and diverse empire. In the political and cultural discourses of this period, the capacious symbolics of Egypt validate the empire's religious and ethnic pluralism.

Sommario/riassunto

This book covers subjects that have major impacts on society, such as the mechanism of maternal-fetal transfer of vitamin A, and the effects of alcohol on retinoic acid signaling and mammalian embryonic development. There has been an awareness of the importance of consuming vitamins throughout human history, but empirical studies of their physiological role and mode of action only began about 150 years ago. Since then, the biochemical nature of vitamin A and its active derivative, retinoic acid, have been identified and researchers around the globe have investigated retinoic acid’s physiological function in growth processes and in maintaining life Written by leading experts, this book discusses the latest findings and advances in retinoic acid research. It addresses topics such as the role of retinoic acid signaling in a multitude of processes, including limb, heart and respiratory system development, as well as its role in maintaining postnatal organ systems. This book is a valuable resource for scientists involved in vitamin A/retinoic acid research and readers interested in developmental biology.
