Book Synopsis Atlas des minorités dans le monde by : Roland Breton
Download or read book Atlas des minorités dans le monde written by Roland Breton and published by Editions Autrement. This book was released on 2008 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanaï, Kachin, Bedja, Tigré, Quechua, Papous... Autant de noms de peuples qui témoignent de la diversité de notre humanité. Quelles sont les minorités qui diffèrent numériquement ou socialement de la majorité dominante ? Quels sont leurs droits ? Sont-elles reconnues sur le plan politique, culturel ? Leurs langues sont-elles transmises, enseignées ? Modes de vie liés à un milieu particulier, origine géographique extérieure, traits physiques spécifiques, appartenances linguistiques, religieuses ou coutumes sociales propres : tous tes caractères spécifiques personnalisant ces groupes humains sont ici observés et décryptés. Cet atlas nous permet d'approcher, continent par continent (Asie, Monde arabe, Afrique sub-saharienne, Amérique, Océanie), puis Etat par Etat, l'inimaginable diversité ethnique, religieuse, culturelle, linguistique de notre humanité. Il poursuit ainsi le travail commencé par l'Atlas des minorités en Europe, De l'Atlantique à l'Oural, diversité culturelle, dirigé par Yves Plasseraud. A l'heure où, après plus de vingt ans de débats, l'ONU vient d'adopter la Déclaration sur les droits des peuples autochtones, cet atlas permet de comprendre les enjeux liés à la diversité humaine et à l'identité de chacun et met en lumière ce phénomène profond et si général qui est malheureusement encore loin d'être reconnu par tous les Etats.
Download or read book Autonomies et indépendances written by and published by Editions Publibook. This book was released on 2016 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La publication des actes du colloque qui s'est tenu à Lyon en juin 2015 met en lumière la montée en puissance de mouvements indépendantistes et de revendications identitaires dans différentes régions du monde globalisé contemporain. En prenant comme point de départ le référendum écossais de 2014, les discussions ont abordé plusieurs versants du séparatisme catalan, le référendum pour l'autodétermination en Crimée, les revendications identitaires en Nouvelle Zélande ainsi que les efforts pour arriver aux accords de paix en Irlande du Nord. D'autre part, il est intéressant de constater la perte de vitesse des certaines minorités linguistiques en France ou le cas de minorités russophones dans les pays baltes. Finalement, cet ouvrage pose les questions de l'identité nationale, des fondements culturels, linguistiques, historiques ou économiques des nationalismes du XXIe siècle.
Book Synopsis The Indo-Europeans by : Jean-Paul Demoule
Download or read book The Indo-Europeans written by Jean-Paul Demoule and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of an Indo-European linguistic family, allowing for the fact that several languages widely dispersed across Eurasia share numerous traits, has been demonstrated for several centuries now. But the underlying factors for this shared heritage have been fiercely debated by linguists, historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists. The leading theory, of which countless variations exist, argues that this similarity is best explained by the existence, at one given point in time and space, of a common language and corresponding population. This ancient, prehistoric, population would then have diffused across Eurasia, eventually leading to the variation observed in historical and modern times. The Indo-Europeans: Archaeology, Language, Race, and the Search for the Origins of the West argues that despite its acceptance and use by most researchers from different disciplines, such a model is inherently flawed. This book describes how, beginning in the late eighteenth century, Europeans began a quest for a supposed original homeland, from which a small conquering people would one day spread out, bringing their language to Europe and parts of Asia (India, Iran, Afghanistan). This quest was often closely tied to ideological preoccupations and it was in its name that the Nazi leadership, claiming for the Germans the status of the purest Indo-Europeans (or Aryans), waged genocide. The last part of the book summarizes the current state of knowledge and current hypotheses in the fields of linguistics, archaeology, comparative mythology, and genetics. The culmination of three decades of research, this book offers a sweeping survey of the historiography of the Indo-European debate and poses a devastating challenge to the Indo-European origin story at its roots.
Book Synopsis Theories and Methods by : Peter Auer
Download or read book Theories and Methods written by Peter Auer and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dimensions of time and space fundamentally cause and shape the variability of all human language. To reduce investigation of this insight to manageable proportions, researchers have traditionally concentrated on the “deepest” dialects. But it is increasingly apparent that, although most people still speak with a distinct regional coloring, the new mobility of speakers in recently industrialized and postindustrial societies and the efflorescence of communication technologies cannot be ignored. This has given rise to a reconsideration of the relationship between geographical place and cultural space, and the fundamental link between language and a spatially bounded territory. Language and Space: An International Handbook of Linguistic Variation seeks to take full account of these developments in a comprehensive, theoretically rich way. The introductory volume examines the concept of space and linguistic approaches to it, the structure and dynamics of language spaces, and relevant research methods. A second volume offers the first thorough exploration of the interplay between linguistic investigation and cartography, and subsequent volumes uniformly document the state of research into the spatial dimension of particular language groupings. Key features: comprehensive coverage of the field in terms of theory and methods the unique volume stands alone, since it neither is a handbook of dialectology or of areal linguistics, nor a handbook on language variation alone gathers together a great number of distinguished scholars and experts in the field

Book Synopsis Central Europe Through the Lens of Language and Politics by : Tomasz Kamusella
Download or read book Central Europe Through the Lens of Language and Politics written by Tomasz Kamusella and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1980s, Central Europe re-emerged as a concept of socio-political analysis in samizdat publications brought out in the region when the Cold War division of the continent into Eastern and Western Europe still stood fast. This concept of a newly found self-definition among Central Europe's literati and dissidents was brought to the wider attention of the West in 1984 by the Czech(oslovak) writer Milan Kundera in his seminal essay published in the New York Review of Books (Kundera 1984). To some it was a revelation that Central Europe could be a world unto itself, while others criticized this concept as a political delusion. More nationally-minded critics also saw it as a tool for a potential renewed German domination over the region. They reiterated how during the First World War Mitteleuropa had been a blueprint for building an economic-cum-political bloc in Central Europe under the joint control of Germany and Austria-Hungary (Naumann 1915). The breakup in 1989 of the Soviet bloc gave a lease of political reality to Central Europe. However, following the 1993 founding of the European Union (EU) the region's freshly postcommunist states applied for membership in this union, seen as a synonym of the West or, more exactly, of Western Europe. The Central European wish to join the European Union was a desire to become part of Western Europe. The curiously changing membership of the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) vindicates this view. Founded in 1992 by Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland, the original member states promptly left it when they joined the EU in 2004. Nowadays, CEFTA embraces Albania, Moldova, and the post-Yugoslav states that have not joined the EU yet.--

Book Synopsis Islam in Education in European Countries. Pedagogical Concepts and Empirical Findings by : Aurora Alvarez Veinguer
Download or read book Islam in Education in European Countries. Pedagogical Concepts and Empirical Findings written by Aurora Alvarez Veinguer and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relations between Muslims and the public education systems of Europe are often characterised by tensions. There is often still a perceived incompatibility between the claims of individual Muslims or Muslim communities on the one hand and the aims of public education in Europe on the other. The relatively recent presence of Islam in much of Europe, the internal diversity of Muslim communities, the lack of a centralized, hierarchical church-like structure – different arguments are used to justify such a discriminatory treatment of one of the largest faith communities in Europe. Nevertheless, as this book aims to illustrate, there are already rich and diverse experiences throughout Europe of how to integrate Islam into the national and regional school systems, particularly in primary, but also in secondary education. Accordingly, this book provides some analyses of the ways in which Islam is integrated in education in certain regions of Spain, the Netherlands, France and England. These analyses are paralleled by empirical findings concerning the role of religion in the life of young Muslims, their views concerning religion in school, and the impact of religion in education and society in Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, France and England.

Download or read book Language and Space written by Peter Auer and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010 with total page 910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an verview and orientation. To attain these objectives, the series will aim for a standard comparable to that of the leading handbooks in other disciplines, and to this end will strive for comprehensiveness, theoretical explicitness, reliable documentation of data and findings, and up-to-date methodology. The editors, both of the series and of the individual volumes, and the individual contributors, are committed to this aim. The languages of publication are English, German, and French. The main aim of the series is to provide an appropriate account of the state of the art in the various areas of linguistics and communication science covered by each of the various handbooks; however no inflexible pre-set limits will be imposed on the scope of each volume. The series is open-ended, and can thus take account of further developments in the field. This conception, coupled with the necessity of allowing adequate time for each volume to be prepared with the necessary care, means that there is no set time-table for the publication of the whole series. Each volume will be a self-contained work, complete in itself. The order in which the handbooks are published does not imply any rank ordering, but is determined by the way in which the series is organized; the editor of the whole series enlist a competent editor for each individual volume. Once the principal editor for a volume has been found, he or she then has a completely free hand in the choice of co-editors and contributors. The editors plan each volume independently of the others, being governed only by general formal principles. The series editor only intervene where questions of delineation between individual volumes are concerned. It is felt that this (modus operandi) is best suited to achieving the objectives of the series, namely to give a competent account of the present state of knowledge and of the perception of the problems in the area covered by each volume.

This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a critical overview of literature dealing with groups of people or regions that suffer marginalization within Africa. The contributors examine a multiplicity of minority discourses expressed in African literature, including those who are culturally, socially, politically, religiously, economically, and sexually marginalized in literary and artistic creations. Chapters and sections of the book are structured to identify major areas of minority articulation of their condition and strategies deployed against the repression, persecution, oppression, suppression, domination, and tyranny of the majority or dominant group. Bringing together diverse perspectives to give a holistic representation of the African reality, this handbook is an important read for scholars and students of comparative and postcolonial literature and African studies.
