Sommario/riassunto

Aix-Marseille Provence, grande métropole située sur les bords de la Méditerranée, révèle de multiples questions sociales et environnementales. Cet ouvrage vise à questionner les enjeux du développement durable d’une telle métropole littorale méditerranéenne face au défi du changement climatique. Sur la base des connaissances scientifiques rassemblées au sein du collectif de recherche du Laboratoire d’Excellence OT-Med, cet ouvrage présente, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, un état des lieux sur la problématique environnementale de cette métropole afin de répondre au mieux aux interrogations des gestionnaires et décideurs publics. On offre au lecteur une synthèse interdisciplinaire de « science locale » mise à la portée de tous : sont examinés l’espace urbain, les sols, la biodiversité, la mer et le littoral, l’atmosphère et la climatologie, les risques, les espaces protégés, etc. Référence académique mais aussi passerelle vers la société, l’économie et la gestion des milieux, ce livre a été conçu pour communiquer les données environnementales actuelles qui concernent Marseille au plus grand nombre et dans un langage accessible. Il permet de mieux connaître les défis actuels posés par le changement climatique, les actions déjà réalisées ou en cours, et les solutions encore à inventer.

Sommario/riassunto

This book tells the story of a Jewish Studies that hasn’t fully happened—at least not yet. Newton asks what we mean when we say “Jewish Studies”—and when we imagine it not as mere amalgam but as a project. Jewish Studies offers a unique perspective from which to view the horizon of the academic humanities because, although it arrived belatedly, it has spanned a range of disciplinary locations and configurations, from an “origin story” in nineteenth-century historicism and philology, to the emancipatory politics of the Enlightenment, to the ethnicity-driven pluralism of the postwar decades, to more recent configurations within an interdisciplinary cultural studies. The conflicted allegiances with respect to traditions, disciplines, divisions, stakes, and stakeholders represent the structural and historical situation of the field, as it comes into contact with the humanities more



broadly. At once a literary and philosophical thinker, Newton deploys a tableau of texts in concert with an ensemble of vivid, elastic tropes not only to theorize Jewish Studies but also to reimagine it as an agent of that potency Jacques Derrida calls “leverage”—a force multiplier for the field’s multiple possibilities. In refiguring a Jewish Studies to come, the book intervenes in a broader discourse about the challenge of professing disciplinary knowledges while promoting transit across their boundaries. Jewish Studies as Counterlife further amplifies Newton’s career-long articulation of the dialogic as the staging ground of ethical encounter.

Sommario/riassunto

"When energy waves (such as light, sound, and various electromagnetic waves) are caused to depart from a straight path due to imperfections in the medium, it is called scattering. Scattering is unique in that the wave energy is generally deflected in multiple directions that are difficult to predict or calculate"--
