Book excerpt: Au-delà des différences biologiques qui caractérisent chaque sexe, les inégalités de statut entre hommes et femmes et les rapports qui en découlent ont un caractère socialement construit, c'est ce qu'exprime le concept de " genre ". Chaque société structure un système de genre, c'est-à-dire un ensemble de normes, de croyances, de connaissances sélectives qui vont guider les comportements sexués, imposer des rôles, valoriser certaines attitudes et en condamner d'autres. La problématique du développement des pays du Sud est progressivement passée d'une vue misérabiliste de la " condition des femmes" à une approche qui place la dynamique des rapports sexués au cœur de la réflexion. Connaître ces dynamiques, leurs interférences avec les évolutions en cours et notamment les moyens de renforcer le pouvoir de décision des femmes (empowerment) est une priorité stratégique pour le développement. En Afrique, les recherches de projets intégrant le genre, encore très rares, restent un énorme chantier. Cet ouvrage fait un bilan des connaissances sur les rapports de genre tels qu'ils s'expriment dans l'histoire des sociétés, les institutions, la production économique et dans les comportements vis-à-vis de la santé, du mariage et de la constitution de la famille. Pour la première fois, des synthèses sur les inégalités de santé dans l'enfance et sur la nuptialité pour l'ensemble de l'Afrique, y sont présentées. Démographie et statistique ont une place centrale, mais les approches qualitatives et les contributions d'historiens, d'économistes et de sociologues apportent l'enrichissement d'une vision multidisciplinaire sur les questions de genre dans les sociétés africaines.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals experience a variety of different events throughout their life-course - birth, marriage, change of employment, school graduation, etc. - which sometimes occur in rapid succession, and whose timing and definition may seem unclear. Now that survey questionnaires are able to record individual trajectories in greater depth, changes of status can no longer be viewed simply as separate events, but involve a transition process of variable duration. The observation, modelling and interpretation of these fuzzy thresholds between two situations constitute a dynamic field of research in the social sciences. The authors of this manual have pooled their experience of event-history data collection to address the questions of "focus", i.e. finding the right observation distance to grasp the complexity of life histories, and of time, i.e. choosing the right timescale of detailed information collection. After analysing the links between quantitative and qualitative data, addressing the distinction between facts and perceptions, and deconstructing analysis data categories, they offer a number of conceptual and methodological solutions. This study extends beyond the scope of specific examples to develop a major empirical approach in a still largely unexplored area. This book targets a much broader audience than the community of demographers alone. It concerns everyone in the field of social sciences who, at one moment or another, is required to organize data collection in the field, either for research or practical purposes. The Groupe de réflexion sur l'approche biographique (GRAB) brings together researchers and academics from a range of institutions (INED, IRD, CNRS, etc.) working in a variety of disciplines: demography, geography, sociology, economics, etc. It is building on the experience acquired through 25 event-history surveys conducted to date in France, Africa and Latin America.

This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, why and how can religion and culture be both sources, and places of expression for fundamentalisms, particularly in relation to politics? Those are the central questions asked throughout this book alongside a discussion on the result when religion, strenthened by culture, is used as a political tool to access moral and social power. Cultural and religious messages often form the basis of decisions, laws and programs made in politics, and have a direct effect on society in general, and on women and gender relations in particular. The various forms taken by fundamentalisms in some African countries and the contexts under which they have emerged, the ways in which they (re)shape identities and relationships between men and women are also analysed in this book. These fundamentalisms are frequently sources of concern in social debates, in feminist and feminine organizations as well as in academia and politics. The manipulation of cultures and religions are becoming progressively political, and consequently can cause social discrimination, or even physical, moral, and symbolic violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major issues this book examines is what the African experience and identity have contributed to the debate on citizenship in the era of globalisation. The volume presents case studies of different African contexts, illustrating the gendered aspects of citizenship as experienced by African men and women. Citizenship carries manifold gendered aspects and given the distinct gender roles and responsibilities, globalisation affects citizenship in different ways. It further examines new forms of citizenship emerging from the current era dominated by a neoliberal focus. The book is not exclusive in terms of theorisation but its focus on African contexts, with an in-depth analysis taking into consideration local culture and practices and their implications for citizenship, provides a good foundation for further scholarly work on gender and citizenship in Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although gender and non-gender scholars have studied men, such an academic exercise requires a critical and focused study of masculine subjects in particular social contexts, which is what this book attempts to do. This empirically rich collection of essays, the seventh of the CODESRIA Gender Series, deals with critical examinations of various shades and ramifications of Africa's masculinities and what these portend for the peoples of Africa and for gender relations in the continent. So much has changed in terms of notions and expressions of masculinities in Africa since ancient times, but many aspects of contemporary masculinities were fashioned during and since the colonial period. The papers in this volume were initially discussed at the 2005 month-long CODESRIA Gender Institute in Dakar. The contributors are gender scholars drawn from various disciplines in the wide fields of the humanities and the social sciences with research interests in the critical study of men and masculinities in Africa. The CODESRIA Gender Series aims at keeping alive and nourishing the African social science knowledge base with insightful research and debates that challenge conventional wisdom, structures and ideologies that are narrowly informed by caricatures of gender realities. The series strives to showcase the best in African gender research and provide a platform for emerging new talents to flower.

This new three-volume set is the first complete catalog for the world. About 38,000 named species (including known synonyms) are listed alphabetically under each genus name in over 1,000 pages of text. Genera area also listed alphabetically, but subfamily affiliations are noted for each of the valid names to enable users to segregate genera by subfamily. Valid names are noted in boldface. Synonyms are listed for each genus and species; the species synonyms are also listed alphabetically among the valid names, thus enabling users to make two kinds of searches in the text as well as in the index. The catalog provides citation data on all described names (other than infraspecific names), with references cited in the compete bibliography at the end. Reference is also made to more important papers on the biology, larvae, host plants, and illustrations for each species, again with full titles noted in the bibliography. The main host plants for each species, where known, are listed under each. Details of holotypes, where known, are also noted. The bibliography has entries for approximately 4,400 papers.

Book excerpt: Ce recueil, dédié à Françoise Raison-Jourde, professeure honoraire de l'Université de Paris-Diderot (Paris 7), s'autorise quelques incursions en Europe et sur le continent africain, mais est essentiellement consacré à Madagascar, son terrain de recherche. Sur une période courant du XVIIe au XXIe siècle, l'ouvrage propose un voyage à travers la Grande Ile, du Nord tsimihety à I'Androy, du littoral betsimisaraka au pays sakalava à l'Ouest, ainsi qu'entre Madagascar et andafy (" l'au-delà des mers "). Des Malgaches migrent d'une région à l'autre, de la campagne vers la ville et, depuis la colonisation, une minorité effectue des séjours en France ou y vit. Des Européens qui se livrent à la traite fréquentent les côtes malgaches ; des voyageurs, des missionnaires, des militaires et des coopérants, quant à eux, restent plus ou moins longtemps dans l'Île. Intermédiaires et interlocuteurs malgaches, indispensables pour la compréhension de leurs sociétés, accompagnent ces Vazaha avec lesquels ils nouent des relations complexes. La connaissance de la Grande île s'enrichit ici de l'exploitation de documents conservés dans différents pays : à Madagascar et en France, ruais aussi en Grande-Bretagne, aux Pays-Bas, en Norvège et même en Afrique du Sud ; elle bénéficie par ailleurs du retour de certains chercheurs sur leur terrain. Le recours à des sources jusqu'alors inutilisées, la relecture d'autres relativement connues et l'attachement des auteurs (historiens, anthropologues et sociologues) à l'interdisciplinarité contribuent au renouvellement de sujets classiques, comme l'impact de la traite et la " découverte " de l'Ile par des voyageurs. Les thèmes de la diffusion du christianisme et du statut des devins-guérisseurs sont également revisités. Des chercheurs reviennent sur les questions de l'autochtonie et des sources de l'autorité. Enfin, cet ouvrage offre des perspectives sur des chantiers récemment ouverts ou, pour certains, encore peu travaillés. II en est ainsi des travaux autour des nouvelles Eglises et de la communauté malgache en France. Sans faire I'objet d'un texte spécifique, la Coopération française dans la Grande Ile occupe une place fondamentale dans les deux articles sur la trajectoire de Françoise Raison-Jourde, ancienne coopérante à Madagascar qui, avec d'autres collègues, vient de lancer, dans le cadre du Laboratoire Sociétés en développement études transdisciplinaires (SEDET), une enquête sur les coopérants en Afrique.

Book excerpt: This new edition of the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera gives a taxonomic overview of the most diverse group of all organisms living in the world-largest biogeographical area. The present volume is an updated edition of the first issue in 2003 but restricted to data published before the year 2000. It contains information about 33,914 taxa (together with synonyms), and increases the number of included species and other taxa by almost 5,000. In addition, thousands of species have their distributional data completed, and their ranks, systematic positions and nomenclature corrected. Almost two hundred new acts fix systematics and nomenclature, and numerous problems are discussed. Even such well known genera as Calosoma and Carabus, or tribes as Bembidiini and Panagaeini, are completely reorganized compared to the previously published catalogues. Thus, the work is a scaffold for biotic surveys, ecological studies, and nature conservation. It responds to the urgent need of an assessment of the still remaining forms of life, threatened by the on-going destruction of habitats. Taxonomy provides the basic building blocks of our understanding of the diversity of life. It stems from innate human curiosity: confronted with an unknown species we ask first “what is it”? Taxonomists recognize species and other systematic entities (taxa), define them and place them within the framework of known organisms, providing means for their subsequent identification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sexual History of the Global South explores the gap between sexuality studies and post-colonial cultural critique. Featuring twelve case studies, based on original historical and ethnographic research from countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the book examines the sexual investments underlying the colonial project and the construction of modern nation-states. Covering issues of heteronormativity, post-colonial amnesia regarding non-normative sexualities, women's sexual agency, the policing of the boundaries between the public and the private realm, sexual citizenship, the connections between LGBTQ activism and processes of state formation, and the emergence of sexuality studies in the global South, this collection is of great geographical, historical, and topical significance.
