How the Chinese See the Europeans

Essay on the Perception and Values of the Chinese

By: Li-Hua Zheng,Dominique Desjeux,Anne-Sophie Boisard

This book is the result of a study carried out in Guangzhou (Canton), financed by the European Union and focusing on the perceptions that the Chinese have of Europe and Europeans. The perceptions tell us nothing or little about the social reality and the real behaviour of others. They are above all an implicit confrontation with the values of those who pronounce them. They act as a projection. Here, they express the framework of thought and implicit values of the Chinese, at the same time as they give a true idea of what the Chinese think of Europeans. It is the role of the social sciences to deconstruct these perceptions in order to objectivize them, that is to say put into perspective their link with the reality described. This done, it is possible to create a certain distance in relation to what is expressed, a certain relativism, the existence of which is necessary in an intercultural perspective.

Human Rights in Canada

A History

By: Dominique Clément

This book shows how human rights became the primary language for social change in Canada and how a single decade became the locus for that emergence. The author argues that the 1970s was a critical moment in human rights history—one that transformed political culture, social movements, law, and foreign policy. Human Rights in Canada is one of the first sociological studies of human rights in Canada. It explains that human rights are a distinct social practice, and it documents those social conditions that made human rights significant at a particular historical moment. A central theme in this book is that human rights derive from society rather than abstract legal principles. Therefore, we can identify the boundaries and limits of Canada’s rights culture at different moments in our history. Until the 1970s, Canadians framed their grievances with reference to Christianity or British justice rather than human rights. A historical sociological approach to human rights reveals how rights are historically contingent, and how new rights claims are built upon past claims. This book explores governments’ tendency to suppress rights in periods of perceived emergency; how Canada’s rights culture was shaped by state formation; how social movements have advanced new rights claims; the changing discourse of rights in debates surrounding the constitution; how the international human rights movement shaped domestic politics and foreign policy; and much more. In addition to drawing on secondary literature in law, history, sociology, and political science, this study looked to published government documents, litigation and case law, archival research, newspapers, opinion polls, and materials produced by non-governmental organizations.

Jean-Michel Alberola (English edition)

By: Jean-Michel Alberola,Dominique Païni,Katell Jaffrès

Political, poetic, committed, profound: Jean-Michel Alberola’s oeuvre is an artist’s reaction to reality, human feelings and the state of the world. His exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo triggers a voyage that stimulates the eye and the mind as it maps the underappreciated diversity of his work. Associating bodily and geographical fragments with ambiguous statements and injunctions, this major and utterly distinctive figure on the French art scene shapes rebuses that challenge both our way of seeing and the role of art in society. And yet, in its intermingling of artistic speculation and political questioning, and of conceptualism, abstraction and figuration, Alberola’s unique, hard-hitting oeuvre is never without its touch of humour. Book contents - “Adding Up the Details: Chapter 1”: A text by Jean-Michel Alberola. - “The Crossing and the Passeur”: A conversation between Jean-Michel Alberola and Katell Jaffrès, curator of Jean-Michel Alberola’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo. - “He Who is Taking Himself by Surprise”: An essay by Dominique Païni. About the authors - Katell Jaffrès is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. - Dominique Païni is a critic, a writer and a curator. He has written numerous publications focusing on the connection between cinema and fine arts. Book published on the occasion of Jean-Michel Alberola’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, “L’Aventure des détails” 19.02 – 16.05 2016

With and Against

the Situationist International in the Age of Automation

By: Dominique Routhier

The little-known story of the Situationist International’s struggle against the automation of everyday life No other art movement has so profoundly influenced radical politics as the Situationist International. But beyond the clichés about its purported leader Guy Debord, the "society of the spectacle," détournement and dérive, lies a more complex story about key historical shifts in the composition of capital, work, labor, art, and revolutionary theory during the 1950s and 60s. With and Against reframes the history of the Situationist International as a struggle to come to terms with the then-emerging ideologies of cybernetics and automation. Through each of the book's four chapters, Dominique Routhier dissects Situationist pamphlets, documents, artworks, and objects that refract elements of a "cybernetic hypothesis": the theoretically hyperbolic belief that technological progress, computers and automation make class struggle and the idea of revolution obsolete. With equal attention to aesthetic detail and to the broader contours of political economy, this book serves as a critical intervention in art history as well a call to reconsider, more broadly, the contemporary lessons of the most political of all artistic avantgardes.

Méthode agile centrée utilisateurs

By: DEUFF Dominique,COSQUER Mathilde

Les services internet, nécessitant des cycles de développement rapides, avec des fonctionnalités toujours plus nombreuses pour les utilisateurs, ont conduit au développement des méthodes de type agile en entreprise. En parallèle, les exigences à fournir des solutions utiles et utilisables par les usagers rendent la conception des systèmes, services et produits de plus en plus complexes. La méthode agile centrée utilisateurs est une solution d’intégration mutuelle de la conception centrée utilisateurs (où les notions d’itération et de recherche de feedbacks tiennent un rôle important) et de la méthode agile Scrum (orientée gestion de projet) en vue d’apporter plus de garanties sur le produit fini en termes d’utilisabilité. Elle est basée sur l’imbrication de ces deux méthodes, en phase de conception, et sur la réalisation de tests-utilisateurs courts qui permettent de prendre en compte les utilisateurs en phase de développement.

The Belle Époque

A Cultural History, Paris and Beyond

By: Dominique Kalifa

The years before the First World War have long been romanticized as a zenith of French culture—the “Belle Époque.” The era is seen as the height of a lost way of life that remains emblematic of what it means to be French. In a vast range of texts and images, it appears as a carefree time full of joie de vivre, fanfare and frills, artistic daring, and scientific innovation. The Moulin Rouge shared the stage with the Universal Exposition, Toulouse-Lautrec rubbed elbows with Marie Curie and La Belle Otero, and Fantômas invented automatic writing. This book traces the making—and the imagining—of the Belle Époque to reveal how and why it became a cultural myth. Dominique Kalifa lifts the veil on a period shrouded in nostalgia, explaining the century-long need to continuously reinvent and even sanctify this moment. He sifts through images handed down in memoirs and reminiscences, literature and film, art and history to explore the many facets of the era, including its worldwide reception. The Belle Époque was born in France, but it quickly went global as other countries adopted the concept to write their own histories. In shedding light on how the Belle Époque has been celebrated and reimagined, Kalifa also offers a nuanced meditation on time, history, and memory.
