Book Synopsis Et si les chiffres ne disaient pas toute la vérité ? by : Valérie Charolles
Download or read book Et si les chiffres ne disaient pas toute la vérité ? written by Valérie Charolles and published by Fayard. This book was released on 2008-11-13 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À l’heure où les marchés financiers s’effondrent et où le capitalisme connaît sa plus grave crise depuis 1929, Valérie Charolles s’interroge sur la signification des chiffres et nous conduit pas à pas au cœur de la machine économique. Car nous vivons dans un monde de chiffres. Mieux, ce sont les chiffres qui nous gouvernent désormais. Encore faut-il savoir les «déchiffrer». Sous la forme d’un journal tenu depuis l’été 2007 – une période clé, avec la crise des subprimes, l’affaire Kerviel et les faillites en cascade dans le système bancaire –, cette chronique d’une crise qui n’avait pas été annoncée met à nu les mécanismes qui rendent fous les marchés financiers et l’aberration des outils mathématiques qu’ils utilisent. Concernant des problèmes cruciaux comme l’inégalité Nord-Sud ou le dérèglement climatique, le diagnostic est encore plus sévère: les données économiques se situent aujourd’hui à rebours de ces préoccupations. Ainsi devrions-nous nous réjouir de l’augmentation du prix du pétrole, de la croissance des pays d’Asie, et cesser de décompter la richesse comme avant. Mais Valérie Charolles n’en reste pas à une condam-nation pure et simple de la sphère financière. C’est à une révision de nos modes de construction des chiffres qu’elle nous invite, et finalement à une remise à plat de l’héritage des Lumières, devenu inopérant dans un monde de faits et de chiffres. Un livre décapant et réjouissant sur les sujets qui nous préoccupent aujourd’hui. Valérie Charolles, 39 ans, est philosophe et travaille dans la finance depuis plus de 10 ans. Après l’ENS et l’ENA, elle a débuté à la direction du Trésor avant de rejoindre le cabinet du ministre de l’Industrie, puis Radio France, dont elle a été directeur financier. Elle est aujourd’hui à la Cour des comptes et enseigne les enjeux politiques à Sciences Po. Elle a publié Le Libéralisme contre le capitalisme (Fayard, 2006).
Book Synopsis Philosophies of Technologies by : Valerie Charolles
Download or read book Philosophies of Technologies written by Valerie Charolles and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the space of a century, technologies have acquired unprecedented power. The result of these developments is a new form of the world. These transformations test our capacities and generate new crises with multiple issues at stake. Drawing on the lessons of a long history, Philosophies of Technologies examines the continuities and disruptions brought about by the power of contemporary technical systems, without reducing them to the digital age. It draws together 13 authors from different schools of thought and proposes tools that combine productive technology with sustainability, innovation and responsibility. This book wagers that, in the face of the sprawling and ever-changing deployment of technologies, philosophy is able to respond to the changes that offer so many opportunities to shape our future. Today, technologies need a philosophical moment.

Book Synopsis Decolonizing Memory by : Jill Jarvis
Download or read book Decolonizing Memory written by Jill Jarvis and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnitude of the legal violence exercised by the French to colonize and occupy Algeria (1830–1962) is such that only aesthetic works have been able to register its enduring effects. In Decolonizing Memory Jill Jarvis examines the power of literature to provide what demographic data, historical facts, and legal trials have not in terms of attesting to and accounting for this destruction. Taking up the unfinished work of decolonization since 1962, Algerian writers have played a crucial role in forging historical memory and nurturing political resistance—their work helps to make possible what state violence has rendered almost unthinkable. Drawing together readings of multilingual texts by Yamina Mechakra, Waciny Laredj, Zahia Rahmani, Fadhma Aïth Mansour Amrouche, Assia Djebar, and Samira Negrouche alongside theoretical, juridical, visual, and activist texts from both Algeria’s national liberation war (1954–1962) and war on civilians (1988–1999), this book challenges temporal and geographical frameworks that have implicitly organized studies of cultural memory around Euro-American reference points. Jarvis shows how this literature rewrites history, disputes state authority to arbitrate justice, and cultivates a multilingual archive for imagining decolonized futures.

Book Synopsis The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets by : Benoit B. Mandelbrot
Download or read book The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets written by Benoit B. Mandelbrot and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international bestseller, which foreshadowed a market crash, explains why it could happen again if we don't act now. Fractal geometry is the mathematics of roughness: how to reduce the outline of a jagged leaf or static in a computer connection to a few simple mathematical properties. With his fractal tools, Mandelbrot has got to the bottom of how financial markets really work. He finds they have a shifting sense of time and wild behaviour that makes them volatile, dangerous - and beautiful. In his models, the complex gyrations of the FTSE 100 and exchange rates can be reduced to straightforward formulae that yield a much more accurate description of the risks involved.

Book Synopsis Functional Approaches to Culture and Translation by : Dirk Delabastita
Download or read book Functional Approaches to Culture and Translation written by Dirk Delabastita and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a generous selection of articles on translation by Professor José Lambert (K.U. Leuven). It traces the intellectual itinerary of their author, who started out as a French and Comparative Literature scholar some four decades ago trying to get a better grip on the problem of inter-literary contacts, and who soon became a key figure in the emergent discipline of Translation Studies, where he is widely known as an indefatigable promoter of descriptively oriented research. This collection shows how José Lambert has never stopped asking new questions about the crucial but often hidden role of language and translation in the world of today. It includes some of the author’s classic papers as well as a few lesser known ones that deserve wider circulation. The editors’ introduction and the bibliography complete this thought-provoking survey of the career of one of the most creative researchers in the field.

They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose . . . Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is. Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living. A Love Story for this generation and perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

Book Synopsis Tense Future by : Paul K. Saint-Amour
Download or read book Tense Future written by Paul K. Saint-Amour and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tense Future falls into two parts. The first develops a critical account of total war discourse and addresses the resistant potential of acts, including acts of writing, before a future that looks barred or predetermined by war. Part two shifts the focus to long interwar narratives that pit both their scale and their formal turbulence against total war's portrait of the social totality, producing both ripostes and alternatives to that portrait in the practice of literary encyclopedism. The book's introduction grounds both parts in the claim that industrialized warfare, particularly the aerial bombing of cities, intensifies an under-examined form of collective traumatization: a pretraumatic syndrome in which the anticipation of future-conditional violence induces psychic wounds. Situating this claim in relation to other scholarship on "critical futurities," Saint-Amour discusses its ramifications for trauma studies, historical narratives generally, and the historiography of the interwar period in particular. The introduction ends with an account of the weak theory of modernism now structuring the field of modernist studies, and of weak theory's special suitability for opposing total war, that strongest of strong theories.
