• Sommario/riassunto: "In the current world disorder, security is on everyone's lips. But what is security from a cross-cultural perspective? How is it imagined and experienced by people on the ground? Crucially, what visions of the future are at stake in people's potentially divergent concerns with security: what, and when, is the time of security? Exploring diverse notions and experiences of time involved in security practices across the globe, this volume brings together a selection of international scholars who conduct ethnographic research in a broad ambit of securitized contexts--from the experience of Palestinian detainees in Israel or forms of popular violence in Bolivia, to efforts to normalize social relations in post-conflict Yugoslavia and ways of imagining threat in left-radical protest movements in Northern Europe. Interrogating recent debates about the role of "securitization" in contemporary politics, the book paves the way for novel forms of security analysis at the crossroads between anthropology and political science, focusing on the comparative study of the temporalities of securitization in a multi-polar world. Offering a pioneering synthesis, the book will be of interest not only to anthropologists, but also to students and scholars in political science and the growing field of Security Studies in International Relations"--

• Nota di contenuto: This work presents the findings of research conducted from 1988 to 1993 near the étang de Berre.On the basis of systematic surveying, soundings and the excavation of a Gallo - Roman establishment, F Trément situates the major sites of Saint-Blaise and the Fossæ Marianæ in a globally and dynamically perceived space.Using earth and life sciences (geomorphology, sedimentology, palynology…). and with recourse to texts and iconography, the archaeologist broadens his focus, to encompass the landscape in its entirety. This microregion is characterised by numerous closed depressions, which explain the high population density during the Neolithic, the Iron Age and in Antiquity, and constitute sedimentary records of the evolution of the surroundings.The author seeks to understand how the successive waterside communities adapted to this shifting and harsh environment, ; how they appropriated the space and set about exploiting it, more or less consciously, leaving their mark, more or less enduring.
• Sommario/riassunto: Cet ouvrage présente les résultats de recherches conduites de 1988 h 1993 près de l’étang de Berre. Des prospections systématiques, des sondages et la fouille d’un établissement gallo-romain ont permis a F. Trément de replacer les sites majeurs de Saint-Blaise et des Fossæ Marianæ dans un espace appréhendé de façon globale et dynamique. Le recours aux sciences de la Terre et de la Vie (géomorphologie, sédimentologie, palynologie .), aux textes et a l’iconographie autorise l’archéologue à élargir le champ de ses préoccupations à l’ensemble du paysage. Les nombreuses dépressions fermées qui caractérisent cette microrégion et expliquent son peuplement très dense au Néolithique, à l’âge du Fer et dans l’Antiquité constituent de véritables enregistreurs sédimentaires de l’évolution du milieu. L’auteur s’attache à examiner comment les communautés riveraines successives se sont adaptées à ce milieu changeant et contraignant, se sont approprié l’espace, l’ont organisé pour l’exploiter, y ont laissé leur marque, plus ou moins consciente, plus ou moins durable This work presents the findings of research conducted from 1988 to 1993 near the étang de Berre.

• Sommario/riassunto: The official religion brought to Australia with the First Fleet was Evangelical Christianity, the 'vital religion' then shaping public policy through William Wilberforce and his fellow evangelicals. That it has shaped Australian history ever since, making a substantial contribution to the public prosperity of the nation, is an untold story. Christian values and identity were the main components of Australian values and identity. Evangelical 'moralising' may be understood as a concern to address the 'hard' cultures associated with convicts, the liquor industry, and male misogyny. The movement provided opportunities for women to work in reform, charitable, evangelistic, and missionary organisations, thus laying strong foundations for feminism. In their concern for 'Christlike citizenship', evangelicals cared for the nation's children in Sunday schools and its youth in societies for young people such as the YMCA, YWCA, and Christian Endeavour. The major component of the humanitarian movement, evangelicals ensured that the convict settlement of Australia was more humane than is generally recognised. They did most of the all-too-little that was done to protect the Indigenous population and to educate settlers, keeping alive in the latter a conscience over maltreatment of the former. In a profusion of charities, evangelicals in the nineteenth century, as today, provided most of the welfare for the population's disadvantaged. The Fountain of Public Prosperity presents propositions which require a radical revision of received understandings, an appreciation of unmined riches in the Australian experience, and reconnection with an often buried past. Drawing on these untapped resources is the safest route to reimagining a future for Australia --Cover.
