Lullaby of the Dawn Tome 4

The international airline industry is characterized by radical changes in regulation and firm behavior. Open-sky agreements abolish market entry restrictions, and global strategic alliances replace the government controlled national carriers. With deregulation and the restructuring of firms still in progress, the future design of market structures cannot easily be predicted. Will airlines behave competitively or is there danger of collusion ? Do large networks lead to monopoly supply ? And what are the effects of open skies on consumer welfare ? Roland Fischer answers these questions by developing an economic model that combines traditional monopoly and oligopoly theory with specific features of air transport markets, like hub-and-spoke systems and passengers' valuation of time. The theoretical results are completed by case studies, which illustrate firm behavior and the development of market structures in an increasingly liberal environment.

Simply go through the pages of this piece of work and discover in all sincerity the story of a life, full of philosophy. It all started from the denial of a pregnancy in 1974 and the desire to share the course of my life. I confide in you today a piece of my story. I am sharing with you what I have lived so as to show you that a birth near death is not a fatality, if you walk with a determined step by converting your suffering into strength and courage, in order to be able to live and expand yourself.

During the late 1970s and early 1980s, New York City was financially and socially bankrupt, but the art and music scene was flourishing. During these years, the downtown New York music scene - no wave, hip-hop, disco funk and club culture - shaped Jean-Michel Basquiat as both a musician and an artist. This catalog for a traveling exhibition explores how Basquiat's painting has parallels in his music (sampling, cut-up, rapping), and takes a new look at his production as a writer and a poet in light of his connections with the then-emerging hip-hop culture. This beautifully illustrated exhibition catalog of rarely seen photographs and images sheds new light on Basquiat as a musician, exploring how his art and music are related, and how they reflect on his identity as a Black artist in the United States, the downtown New York music scene, and contemporary culture.

This book is for parents living outside of the UK who are considering a UK education for their children. As English has come to be the language of the global economy and as UK schools are accepted to be amongst the best in the world, a British education is widely regarded as an invaluable asset. Consequently, competition for places in both schools and colleges is extremely competitive. Where to Study in the UK provides a clear and accessible description of the UK education and exam system and gives authoritative advice on how to choose the right school or college and how to secure a place for your child. The book, which also includes a series of illustrated profiles of over 50 of the UK's top educational establishments, has been complied by educational consultants Mentor ISC, with contributions from both expert educationalists and practitioners in preparatory, secondary and higher education.

Why is the conflict between Israel and Palestine still unresolved ? What are the Israeli and Palestinian strategies and how have they evolved over the past 75 years ? What are the relations between Israel, Palestine and its neighbors ? Why did Operation Deluge Al Aqsa take place ? What has happened on the ground since October 7 ? What is the impact of this conflict on our security ? What are the possible options for Israel and Palestine in the coming years ? Following on from his best-selling books Putin, the Master of the Game, Operation Z and Ukraine Between War and Peace, which won international acclaim for their analysis, Jacques Baud revisits the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from its origins, analyzes the "Deluge Al Aqsa" operation of October 7, 2023, and in particular its impact on the region and Western countries, and explains the workings of Israeli intelligence services in matters of terrorism. Colonial Jacques Baud is a former member of the Swiss Strategic Intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of Doctrine of the United Nations Peace Operations. Within NATO, hewas involved in programs in Ukraine, including after the Maidan Revolution of 2014 and 2017. He is the author of several books on intelligence, war and terrorism, including Putin, Game master ? , Governing by Fake News and The Navalny Affair, all published by Max Milo.

This beautiful publication presents for the first time the Eveillard Gift of drawings to The Frick Collection, the most important gift of drawings and pastels in its history. It accompanies an exhibition at the Frick and includes a catalogue of the works and commentaries by noted scholars. Twenty-six works of art promised to The Frick Collection by Elizabeth and Jean-Marie Eveillard dramatically advance the museum's commitment to the research and display of European drawings. Included in this transformative gift from two longtime supporters of the Frick are exquisite drawings, pastels, prints, and one oil sketch by François Boucher, Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, Eugène Delacroix, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Thomas Lawrence, Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, John Singer Sargent, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun, and Jean-Antoine Watteau, among others. The works include fi gurative sketches, independent studies, portraits, and landscape scenes, each either deepening the museum's celebrated holdings or bringing the work of an artist who is not-but should be-represented in the collection. This lavishly illustrated publication, which accompanies an exhibition at the Frick, includes a catalogue of the works, as well as comprehensive commentaries on each of promised gifts written by noted scholars in their fi eld.

Catherine BERNARD Writing Capital, or, John Lanchester's Debt to Realism John Lanchester's fourth novel Capital (2012) offers a scathing, satirical denun- ciation of the excesses of capitalism, commodity fetishism and globalisation. The choral structure of the novel also allows the text to function as a world-novel, embracing as it does the criss-crossing lives of protagonists, each embodying a facet of a ramifed present. Reworking the basic principles of realistic representation, it appropriates the language of materialism to bring it to work paradoxically against the reifcation of affects and identity. With Capital, the "credit crunch" novel claims a different form of accountability that emerges through the very "stuff" of fiction. Le quatrième roman de John Lanchester, Capital (2012), offre un portrait satirique des excès du capitalisme, du fétichisme de la marchandise et de la globalisation. La structure chorale du roman transforme aussi le texte en roman-monde. Il embrasse les vies interdépendantes de protagonistes qui, chacun, incarnent une facette d'un présent densément ramifé. Retravaillant les principes de base du réalisme, le roman s'approprie le langage du matérialisme pour l'amener à oeuvrer contre la réifcation des affects et de l'identité. Avec Capital, le roman "de la crise" ("credit crunch fiction") revendique une forme de responsabilité qui s'incarne dans la matière même de la fiction. Vanessa GUIGNERY The Way We Live Now : Jonathan Coe's Re-evaluation of Political Satire This paper examines Jonathan Coe's oeuvre to discuss the evolution of his modes of portraying contemporary Britain. While Coe is well known for his satirical state-of- the-nation novels and for his commitment to political fiction, his recent essays reveal his misgivings about the effectiveness of political satire and Condition-of- England novels in the new millennium. This paper will navigate between Coe's fiction and non-fiction to examine the forms political engagement may take in the contemporary British novel. Cet article parcourt l'oeuvre de Jonathan Coe afin d'analyser l'évolution de ses modes de représentation de la Grande-Bretagne contemporaine. Coe est connu pour ses romans satiriques qui offrent un "état de la nation" et pour son attache- ment à la fiction politique, mais ses essais récents révèlent ses doutes quant à l'efficacité de la satire politique et de romans qui décrivent la condition de l'Angleterre à l'heure du nouveau millénaire. Cet article naviguera entre les écrits fictionnels et non-fictionnels de Coe pour envisager les formes que peut prendre l'engagement politique dans le roman britannique contemporain. Jean-Michel GANTEAU Vistas of the Humble : Jon McGregor's Fiction Jon McGregor's novels are characterised by a constant attention to detail and to the ordinary. They address the realities of individual, social and anthropological vul- nerability through narratives whose frail form countermands any attempt at abstraction and totalisation. In this article, I evoke the forms and modalities of vulnerability through the prism of the characters' and narratives' dependence on trauma, of systematic relationality and of attention to singularities. By throwing light on invisibilities and by giving voice to the inarticulate, McGregor writes ethical and political novels and uses the position of the precarious witness to contribute to the creation of some narrative democracy whose purpose, in Guillaume Le Blanc's terms, is to enlarge our sense of the common. Les romans de Jon McGregor se donnent pour tâche une attention permanente aux détails et à l'ordinaire. Ils s'ordonnent ainsi à l'évocation de la vulnérabilité indivi- duelle, sociale et anthropologique à travers des récits dont la forme vulnérable refuse toute totalisation. Les modalités et visages de la vulnérabilité sont ici évoqués à travers les motifs de la dépendance au trauma, de la mise en relation systématique, et de l'attention aux singularités. En mettant en lumière l'invisible et les invisibles, et en redonnant voix aux inaudibles, Jon McGregor fait oeuvre éthique et politique : il se pose en témoin précaire et contribue à l'élaboration d'une démocratie narrative dont le but est, selon les termes de Guillaume Le Blanc, de "créer du commun" . Peter CHILDS Food Chain : Predatory Links in the Novels of David Mitchell Humans are for David Mitchell predatory animals, whatever their civilized com- plexity. His novels contain numerous examples of individuals and groups who would oppress others in the name of logic, desire, morality, technology, survival or sheer force of will. That people prey on animals, resources and other human beings is only one dimension to Mitchell's fictional world but it is consistent and stark, from the cannibals that appear in Cloud Atlas and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet through the warring factions in number9dream to the more fantasti- cal parasitic predators of Ghostwritten and The Bone Clocks. In this essay, I review aspects to this theme while analysing Mitchell's fictional world, which increasingly seems to be governed by interlinkages not only within narratives but metaleptically across them. David Mitchell considère les êtres humains comme des prédateurs, quel que soit leur degré de civilisation. Ses romans comportent de nombreux exemples d'individus et de groupes qui oppriment autrui en invoquant pour cela la logique, le désir, la morale, la technologie, l'instinct de survie ou leur volonté de puissance. Le fait que des hommes s'en prennent à des animaux, à des ressources naturelles ou à d'autres êtres humains n'est qu'un des aspects de l'univers fictionnel de Mitchell, mais il s'agit là d'une dimension structurante, à l'origine de la noirceur de l'oeuvre dans son ensemble - des cannibales de Cloud Atlas et The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet aux prédateurs parasites de type plus fantastique dans Ghostwritten et The Bone Clocks en passant par les factions en guerre dans number9dream. Cet article recense plusieurs composantes de ce motif récurrent dans la fiction de Mitchell, laquelle paraît de plus en plus fortement régie par des liens se tissant non seulement de manière interne aux différents récits, mais aussi de manière externe entre les récits eux-mêmes, sur un mode métaleptique. Marc POREE "What if ?" : The Speculative Turn of Will Self's Fiction "Et si ?" Révélant de lui-même les extravagantes hypothèses de travail dont il aime à procéder, Will Self est friand de spéculation. Une spéculation de type "métaphysique" , rejoignant celle des poètes de la première moitié du dix-septième siècle (cloués au pilori par Johnson avant que d'être réhabilités par T. S. Eliot). Une spéculation, dont le caractère cérébral s'accommode pourtant d'une volonté de faire que le roman s'incorpore et digère ce qui ne relève a priori pas de lui (les sciences, la pensée). Une spéculation, enfin, qui procède à rebours de l'évolution du lectorat et de la technologie, en oeuvrant à renouer avec un mécanisme de "sensibilité unifiée" que Self sait être anachronique, mais qui pose, à nouveaux frais, la question de la nécessaire difficulté en art. "What if ?" Never wary of unveiling the fantastical conceits which he is wont to proceed from, Will Self is (over)fond of speculation. A speculation that is meta- physical in kind, related to that implemented by the poets of the first half of the seventeeenth century (vilified by Johnson before being rehabilitated by T. S. Eliot). A speculation, the cerebral nature of which is found to be more than compatible with the processes of incorporation and digestion, at the hands of the novel, of all that is allegedly foreign to it (the sciences, thought). A speculation, lastly, bent on restoring a mechanism of "unified sensibility" which Self knows to be anachronis- tic, given the average reader's pursuits, but which offers a fresh take on the neces- sary difficulty of art. Camille MANFREDI Tales from the Pigeon-Hole : James Kelman's Migrant Voices This article offers to dwell on James Kelman's concerns with liminality and cultural identity by outlining the dynamics of displacement, dislocation and relocation in his recent novels You Have to be Careful in the Land of the Free (2004), Kieron Smith, Boy (2008) and Mo Said She Was Quirky (2012). While paying attention to Kelman's interest in the potential for subversion of the in-between, the article anal- yses the narrators' strategies of self-preservation and self-transformation with a view to better understand Kelman's own perception of the predicament of the contemporary Scottish writer in the postcolonial and global contexts. Cet article se propose d'éclairer le traitement des motifs de la liminalité et de l'identité culturelle à travers les dynamiques de décentrement, dislocation et délocalisa- tion dans les récents romans de James Kelman, You Have to be Careful in the Land of the Free (2004), Kieron Smith, Boy (2008) et Mo Said She Was Quirky (2012). En gardant à l'esprit l'intérêt de Kelman pour le potentiel subversif de l'entre-deux, cet article analyse les stratégies de préservation et de transformation de soi développées par les narrateurs. Elles permettront d'éclairer la tâche qui, selon Kelman, revient à l'auteur écossais contemporain dans le contexte à la fois du postcolonial et de nos sociétés mondialisées. Christian GUTLEBEN Whither Postmodernism ? Four Tentative Neo-Victorian Answers This paper sets out to examine in what ways recent neo-Victorian fiction illustrates twenty-first-century fiction's quest for new novelistic possibilities. On the basis of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas (2004), Andrea Levy's The Long Song (2010), Michel Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White (2002) and Rosie Garland's The Palace of Curiosities (2013), it will be argued that neo-Victorianism broadens the scope of postmodernism by conceiving a cosmopoetics in which a referential and an aesthetic globalisation are combined, by imagining alternative forms of fictional historiography, by challenging various forms of orthodoxy and by questioning the limits of the human. Although it suggests evolutions and variations in relation to late twentieth-century historiographic metafiction, the novel of the new millennium nevertheless cannot be said to forsake postmodernism. Cet article se propose d'examiner dans quelle mesure la fiction néo-victorienne récente illustre la tentative de la fiction du vingt-et-unième siècle d'explorer de nouvelles possibilités romanesques. En prenant comme exemples Cloud Atlas de David Mitchell (2004), The Long Song d'Andrea Levy (2010), The Crimson Petal and the White de Michel Faber (2002) et The Palace of Curiosities de Rosie Garland (2013), nous soutiendrons que le néo-victorianisme élargit le spectre du postmodernisme en concevant une cosmopoétique où se mêlent référentialité et esthétique mondialisées, en imaginant d'autres formes d'historiographie fictionnelle, en remettant en cause diverses formes d'orthodoxie et en s'interrogeant sur les limites de l'humain. Bien que le roman du nouveau millénaire suggère des variations et des évolutions par rapport à la métafiction historiographique de la fin du vingtième siècle, on ne peut cependant pas considérer qu'il renonce au postmodernisme.

This book is an invitation to informed and critical participation in the current debate on the role of digital technology in education and a comprehensive introduction to the most relevant issues in this debate. After an early wave of enthusiasm about the emancipative opportunities of the digital "revolution" in education, recent contributions invite caution, if not scepticism. This collection rejects extreme interpretations and establishes a conceptual framework for the critical questioning of this role in terms of concepts, assessments and subversions. This book offers conceptual tools, ideas and insights for further research. It also provides motivation and information to foster active participation in debates and politics and encourages teachers, parents and learners to take part in the making of the future of our societies.

THIS BOOK HAS ONLY ONE PURPOSE: To make the discoveries of Archimedes easily accessible to a wide audience, from anyone with a background in high school algebra to a busy practicing mathematician. Many people have heard two things about Archimedes: He was the greatest mathematician of antiquity and he ran naked from his bath crying, "Eureka, eureka!" Few of us, layperson or mathematician, are familiar with the accomplishments on which his reputation rests. This book describes in detail those astonishing accomplishments: how he developed the theory of the lever and the center of gravity; how he used the center of gravity to study whether a floating object would tip over; how he summed a geometric series and the squares; and how he found the volume and surface area of a sphere. His ability to do so much with the few tools at his disposal is astonishing. He was like a one-person Institute for Advanced Study, making fundamental discoveries in the fields of geometry, mechanics and hydrostatics. The exposition is leisurely and supported by a brief life of Archimedes and some 120 illustrations. Any reader who is aware that the graph of y = x2 is a parabola can follow all the reasoning. Although the book uses only high school mathematics, professional mathematicians will find much here of interest as well.

In today's security-conscious environment, the loyalties and allegiances of migrant communities are increasingly being brought into question. Drawing on the collected knowledge of a number of Australian experts investigating interwar issues of security, surveillance and civic rights from the perspective of migration studies, this book aims, through the examination of individuals and groups in Oceania who were targeted for potential subversion or believed to hold National Socialist sympathies (including local National Socialists, Italian-Australians, Russian exiles, members of the right-wing movements the New Guard and Australia First), to consider how issues of security were regarded at another critical point in world history and what lessons we may learn from that period today. This book examines a variety of motives for embracing National Socialism and investing hope in the Third Reich. Attitudes shifted over time from enthusiasm to scepticism and disappointment. But, most importantly, beyond support and opposition, there was a surprising level of disengagement and indifference from sister movements on the radical right. This groundbreaking study defies easy answers and previously-held understandings, and will stimulate debate and further research.

Il s'agit d'éclairer les camerounais sur les manipulations dont ils font l'objet et en prenant leur pays le Cameroun ; il s'agit de la balkanisation physique, linguistique et les mots abstraits que les colons nous ont imposé pour leurs intérêts et non les nôtres. C'est pour dire qu'en réalité il n'y a pas de tribu entre camerounais et même la race humaine. La tribu se trouvant entre les animaux. Que si les colons n'avaient pas bloqué les groupes sur des territoires, les camerounais parleraient aujourd'hui presque la même langue. Que ce qu'on appelle aujourd'hui le Béti est constitué d'un peuple parti du plateau de l'Adamaoua et dans leur marche à travers la nature sauvage, ont pressé et brisé les arbustes pour marquer leur itinéraire, passant par Bati ou Pehtih par Batibo ou Petibôh jusqu'au Sud du Cameroun et même jusqu'en Afrique du Sud. Que les camerounais ne doivent pas par cette manipulation se détruire et détruire leur pays ; car ils sont un même peuple avec des chefs de groupes différents.

Languages of Exile examines the relationship between geographic and linguistic border crossings in twentieth-century literature. Like no period before it, the last century was marked by the experience of expatriation, forcing exiled writers to confront the fact of linguistic difference. Literary writing can be read as the site where that confrontation is played out aesthetically – at the intersection between native and acquired language, between indigenous and alien, between self and other – in a complex multilingual dynamic specific to exile and migration. The essays collected here explore this dynamic from a comparative perspective, addressing the paragons of modernism as well as less frequently studied authors, from Joseph Conrad and Peter Weiss to Agota Kristof and Malika Mokeddem. The essays are international in their approach ; they deal with the junctions and gaps between English, French, German, Hungarian, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and other languages. The literary works and practices addressed include modernist poetry and prose, philosophical criticism and autobiography, DADA performance, sound art and experimental music theatre. This volume reveals both the wide range of creative strategies developed in response to the interstitial situation of exile and the crucial role of exile for a renewed understanding of twentieth-century literature.

This analysis of four major productions by Erwin Piscator, Hoppla, Rasputin, Schweik and Konjunktur (1927/28), examines the nature of his pioneering visual effects. The films, projections, cartoons, elaborate sets and machinery - here designated 'visual aids' - are shown to have a didactic function. They 'frame' the action politically, thus evolving a sophisticated new theatrical method. Comparison with Brecht's work establishes differences of emphasis in the approach to a common goal. Piscator's montage of disparate elements is seen as a vital contribution to epic theatre.

National Olympic Games were more closely connected with the Ancient Greek ideal than the modern international Olympic Games of de Coubertin. Moreover, such national or regional Olympic Games have not only been precursors for the international Olympic Games but also they have been further developed parallel with the international Olympic Movement - even in the 20th century, in Europe, in North and South America and in Asia. In the emerging nation states of Europe, both before as well as after the turn of the century, these national Olympic Games had a more important function (identity-forming) than the Olympic Games.

Sous l'œil des grands photographes, c'est en noir et blanc que se révèle Marseille. Sombres ruelles, profondes comme des canyons, et grands horizons lumineux. La terrasse du bar des Amis accueille ses habitués, les venelles en escaliers retentissent des piaillements et des jeux des minots, le linge sèche aux fenêtres, un soleil du soir lance ses derniers feux sur les façades du Vieux-Port. Cent photographies de légende font revivre un Marseille oublié, en racontent les transformations, captent l'écume des jours… mais immortalisent surtout une âme singulière.     Marseille reveals itself under the watchful gaze of some of the greatest ever photographers. Their black and white stills depict both the city's dark warren of backstreets and its vast, luminous horizons. The terrace of the Bar des Amis welcoming its regulars, the sound of children playing echoes in its little alleyways and stairways, laundry drying in the windows, the last glint of evening sunlight as it streaks across the façades of the Old Port… One hundred legendary photographs relive the memory of "forgotten Marseille" by revealing how the city has changed, capturing the "foam of the days" as Boris Vian would say, and above all by immortalising its exceptional spirit.

Julian Schwinger was one of the leading theoretical physicists of the twentieth century. His contributions are as important, and as pervasive, as those of Richard Feymnan, with whom (and with Sin-itiro Tomonaga) he shared the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics. Yet, while Feynman is universally recognized as a cultural icon, Schwinger is little known even to many within the physics community. This biography aims to describe Schwinger's life and research contributions to a wider audience. As a youth, Julian Schwinger began as a nuclear physicist, turning to classical electrodynamics after World War II. In the years after the war, he was the first to renormalize quantum electrodynamics. Subsequently, he presented the most complete formulation of quantum field theory and laid the foundations for the electroweak synthesis of Glashow, Weinberg, and Salam, and he made fundamental contributions to the theory of nuclear magnetic resonance, to many-body theory, and to quantum optics. He developed a unique approach to quantum mechanics, measurement algebra, and a general quantum action principle. His discoveries include, Feynman's, parameters and 'Glauber's' coherent states; in later years he also developed an alternative to operator field theory, which he called Source Theory, which reflected his profound phenomenological bent. His late work on the Thomas-Fermi model of atoms and on the Casimir effect continues to be an inspiration to a new generation of physicists. This biography describes the many strands of his research life, while tracing the personal life of this private and gentle genius.

Can the structures that animals build-from the humble burrows of earthworms to towering termite mounds to the Great Barrier Reef-be said to live ? However counterintuitive the idea might first seem, physiological ecologist Scott Turner demonstrates in this book that many animals construct and use structures to harness and control the flow of energy from their environment to their own advantage. Building on Richard Dawkins's classic book The Extended Phenotype, Turner shows why drawing the boundary of an organism's physiology at the skin of the animal is arbitrary.

The String Quartet in G minor Op. 8 dates from the time when Joseph Haas studied with Max Reger (1905). While reflecting the clear influence of his teacher as to form, it also shows the young composer as an artist with an independent personality as well as a true master of his craft. Instrumentation : String quartet op. 8
