Al-Qaïda en France

Autor: Samuel Laurent

Número de Páginas: 344

Une puissante organisation terroriste s’est implantée sur le sol français : un réseau qui se tient prêt à passer à l’action et qui est dirigé par un « émir » d’Al-Qaïda. Ces « labyrinthes de la terreur » sont dissimulés au cœur de notre quotidien. Les membres de ce réseau, parfaitement entraînés, savent rester anonymes et insoupçonnables. Ils communiquent dans le plus grand secret et disposent d’un arsenal terrifiant qui ne fait que croître.Pour obtenir ces informations, Samuel Laurent s’est lancé, seul, dans une aventure à très haut risque. Sa première étape le conduit à rencontrer des jeunes Français partis combattre en Syrie aux côtés des organisations islamistes. Les renseignements qu’il recueille vont alors le mener en Libye, en Turquie, au Liban, en Grande-Bretagne...À chaque étape, il s’entretient avec des combattants du Jihad, des opérateurs clandestins et des idéologues du salafisme. Mais c’est dans les montagnes de Somalie, avec les Shebabs d’Al-Qaïda, qu’il va prendre toute la mesure de la menace terroriste qui pèse désormais sur tous les habitants de notre pays.Consultant international, Samuel Laurent est avant...

Mémoire de Melle

Autor: Michel Chaillou

Número de Páginas: 300

Mémoires de Melle, Un jeune homme au cœur d'âne. Enfant, il fut voleur ; adolescent, il aime comme on respire, s'efforçant d'entrer par effraction dans le sentiment des femmes, dans la chambrée obscure de leur sexe. Devant elles, il perd souvent le nord. Justement le voilà à Niort au terme de ce livre, enfin à côté, à Melle, plaisante bourgade des Deux-Sèvres. Mais Melle, prononcé à l'arabe, «Melh», signifie sel. Notre héros qui arrive du Maroc comme on tombe de la lune n'est pas dépaysé. Mémoires de Melle, mémoire du sel, de cette blancheur qui active, réjouit le sang, toute une somme d'événements cuisants, le sel d'aventures passées, égrené, compulsé à Melle. Samuel Canoby en brûle, se rappelle : il revit, de quatorze à dix-neuf ans, ses cinq années d'âne à Casablanca, dans les années cinquante. Le Maroc retrouvait son indépendance, un jeune homme s'efforçait de gagner la sienne. Les Mille et Une Nuits de ses désirs, de ses frayeurs, de son émoi grandissant devant l'Atlantique, ce grand intempérant qui donne l'accolade aux plages. Samuel se revoit dans le hasard des rues, des places, des carrefours. Que cherche-t-il dans les cages...

Incendio de ideas

Autor: Marcos Aguinis

Número de Páginas: 258

Dueño de una aguda mirada sobre la historia y el presente, Marcos Aguinis reúne en este libro un conjunto de indispensables reflexiones sobre los más diversos temas: del "ser nacional", el destino latinoamericano y el incendio que devora a Medio Oriente, a los horrores del nazismo y la esclavitud y los goces de la creación literaria y artística. Las ideas pueden compararse con el fuego: así como nos iluminan y encienden la llama de la creación, pueden quemarnos y reducirlo todo a cenizas. A lo largo de su vida, Marcos Aguinis ha hecho de las ideas la materia prima de su fecunda obra. Fragorosas y urgentes en ocasiones, atemporales y con vocación perenne casi siempre, sus reflexiones -que tienen inscripto en su ADN conocimiento profundo del pasado y lúcida voluntad de proyección sobre el futuro- han llevado luz y calor a varias generaciones de lectores. Este libro reúne un conjunto indispensable de sus ideas sobre los más diversos temas: las cualidades menos felices de nuestro "ser nacional", el laberinto en que se encuentra atrapada América latina, los nuevos populismos, el incendio que devora a Medio Oriente, el sello revolucionario de marxismo y psicoanálisis en...

Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction

Autor: Huan Liu , John Salerno , Michael J. Young

Número de Páginas: 279

Social computing concerns the study of social behavior and context based on computational systems. Behavioral modeling reproduces the social behavior, and allows for experimenting with and deep understanding of behavior, patterns, and potential outcomes. The pervasive use of computer and Internet technologies provides an unprecedented environment where people can share opinions and experiences, offer suggestions and advice, debate, and even conduct experiments. Social computing facilitates behavioral modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, anticipation, and prediction. The proceedings from this interdisciplinary workshop provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from sociology, behavioral and computer science, psychology, cultural study, information systems, and operations research to share results and develop new concepts and methodologies aimed at advancing and deepening our understanding of social and behavioral computing to aid critical decision making.

Un crime d'États : l'affaire Mecili

Autor: Michel Naudy

Número de Páginas: 167

Le 7 avril 1987 à 22 h 35, l’avocat français d’origine algérienne André Mécili était assassiné de trois balles de pistolet dans l’entrée de son immeuble du boulevard Saint-Michel, à Paris. Deux mois plus tard, Abdelmalek Amellou, truand notoire, était expulsé vers Alger en « urgence absolue », en application des ordres donnés par Robert Pandraud, ministre de la Sécurité. Or, tout indique que le suspect était bien l’assassin de l’avocat et qu’il avait agi à l’instigation des services secrets algériens. Ben Barka, Curiel, Dulcie September : dans la liste des crimes politiques impunis, le meurtre d’André Mécili occupe une place à part. Il est le point d’application exact du terrorisme de l’État algérien et du cynisme des autorités françaises prêtes à couvrir un déni de justice pour protéger des intérêts inavouables. L’enquête minutieuse menée par Michel Naudy, éclaire cette zone mouvante où se croisent malfrats, agents secrets, policiers corrompus et anciens du S.A.C. C’est là qu’ont été arrêtés les détails de l’exécution d’un homme qui avait le tort d’être démocrate et de s’être réfugié sur ce qu’il...

Global Perspectives on Eco-Aesthetics and Eco-Ethics

Autor: Krishanu Maiti , Soumyadeep Chakraborty

Número de Páginas: 289

Global Perspectives on Eco-Aesthetics and Eco-Ethics: A Green Critique focuses on the interface of the Anthropocene, sustainability, ecological aesthetics, multispecies relationality, and the environment as reflected in literature and culture. This book examines how writers have addressed ecological crises and environmental challenges that transcend national, cultural, political, social, and linguistic borders. It demonstrates how, as the environmental humanities developed and emerged as a critical discipline, it generated a diverse range of interdisciplinary fields of study such as ecographics, ecodesign, ecocinema, ecotheology, ecofeminism, ethnobotany, ecolinguistics, and bioregionalism, and formed valuable, interdisciplinary networks of critique and advocacy—and its contemporary expansion is exceptionally salient to social, political, and public issues today.

Autor: Haley Duschinski , Mona Bhan , Cabeiri Debergh Robinson

Número de Páginas: 495

The Palgrave Handbook of New Directions in Kashmir Studies provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and transregional perspective on the Kashmir dispute. Spanning South and Central Asia, Kashmir has been at the center of geopolitical conflicts and rivalries among India, Pakistan and China for decades, with members of heterogeneous local communities negotiating the complexities of regional state formations, national power assertions and geopolitical competitions. Taken together, the chapters in this handbook examine diverse people’s struggles to establish processes of democratic accountability in relation to the colonial-era state consolidations, postcolonial military occupations, interstate wars, intrastate armed conflicts and cold war and post-cold war politics that have shaped and transformed social and political identities in the region. Contributors chart out varied and bold new directions by attending to local constellations of situated knowledges and practices through which people living in different parts of the disputed region make sense of the conditions and contingencies of their political lives. The handbook further initiates a dialogue on the ways in which state...
