Vicente Ferraz directs this war drama based on real events of World
War II. Set during the winter of 1944, a Brazilian Expeditionary
Force on a minesweeping patrol in Italy find themselves lost in a
land far from their base in the mountains. As they embark on an
horrific journey back to camp they come across two army deserters;
one Italian and one German. Forming an unlikely group of renegades
the men set about crossing the infamous Road 47 to achieve safe
passage to their futures.
Le Theatre de la Foire, ne dans les foires parisiennes de
Saint-Germain et de Saint-Laurent, a fait courir tout Paris depuis
sa creation jusqu'a sa disparition en 1762. Spectacle foisonnant
puisque des dizaines d'auteurs en ont constitue le fonds litteraire
qui comporte plusieurs centaines de pieces. Il existe d'excellentes
etudes partielles, mais aucune etude d'ensemble n'avait ete
entreprise sur un sujet ou la critique litteraire rencontre le
renouvellement des arts du spectacle et l'evolution des moeurs et
de la pensee. Il s'agissait donc de combler cette lacune par une
synthese sur le Theatre de la Foire considere comme une forme de
sociabilite essentielle a la comprehension de l'histoire des idees
a une epoque donnee, dans le mouvement meme des representations de
la vie quotidienne. Si le but apparent de ce theatre est d'amuser
un public par un spectacle original et inventif, ses ambitions sont
beaucoup plus vastes. Issu du milieu mercantile des foires, il
diffuse des idees de libre entreprise qu'il met lui-meme en oeuvre,
en s'opposant aux privileges de la Comedie-Francaise et de l'Opera.
Dans la societe d'Ancien Regime ou apparaissent des signes de
decomposition, il tente de reformer les moeurs et de promouvoir
dans la bonne humeur certaines nouvelles idees philosophiques dont
une morale bourgeoise et seculiere du juste milieu. Face aux salles
officielles qu'immobilise leur statut et une scene populaire
inconvenante, il elabore une nouvelle forme de theatralite
amalgamant les pratiques des spectacles de rue tels l'acrobatie,
les danseurs de corde ou la pantomime avec les traditions du
theatre savant, de l'Opera et des scenes francaise et italienne. Sa
conception essentiellement baroque, brillante, faussement naive et
populaire semble anticiper les grandes mises en scene actuelles. Le
Theatre de la Foire demeure aujourd'hui le meilleur miroir de la
societe parisienne du XVIIIe siecle dont la reference essentielle
est au-dela du theatre lui-meme la theatralisation de son
quotidien.
This book consists of stories of struggles in science education
presented by a network of science educators working in Australia,
Brazil, Canada, Britain, and the United States. The common goal of
these educators is to produce more socially/ecologically just
models and practices of science education. The book considers and
reworks the key-terms of current social justice: agency, realism,
justice, and power. Its first section explores re-inhabiting
science in the quest for more just worlds including
reterritorializing science within emergent theories of critical
realism, engaging citizens activists with corporate science, and
challenging neoliberalism and the forces that organize (structure)
knowledge. The second section redefines praxis of science education
itself through nuanced explorations of agency, decolonialism, and
justice in ways that emphasize complexity, hybridity, ambivalence,
and contradiction. The stories of this international group capture
individual and collective efforts, motivated by a persistent sense
that science and science education matter for questions of justice.
Becoming Transnational Youth Workers contests mainstream notions of
adolescence with its study of a previously under-documented
cross-section of Mexican immigrant youth. Preceding the latest wave
of Central American children and teenagers now fleeing violence in
their homelands, Isabel Martinez examines a group of unaccompanied
Mexican teenage minors who emigrated to New York City in the early
2000s. As one of the consequences of intractable poverty in their
homeland, these emigrant youth exhibit levels of agency and
competence not usually assigned to children and teenage minors, and
disrupt mainstream notions of what practices are appropriate at
their ages. Leaving school and family in Mexico and financially
supporting not only themselves through their work in New York City,
but also their families back home, these youths are independent
teenage migrants who, upon migration, wish to assume or resume
autonomy and agency rather than dependence. This book also explores
community and family understandings about survival and social
mobility in an era of extreme global economic inequality.

The need to establish material cycles in the building industry is
undisputed. Knowledge on this topic is available in many places: In
this book it is summarised and systematized. After a general
overview of the quantities generated, recovery rates and areas of
application of recycled building materials, the current processing
steps on which recycling is based and the possibilities for
influencing the product properties are discussed. Furthermore,
recycling building materials are characterized and their fields of
application are presented. The starting point is always the
original building material, which is later found in the
construction waste. The focus is on the structural properties. The
environmental aspects, which have determined the discussion for
years, are shown to the necessary extent. The book concludes with a
chapter that presents new developments in processing technologies
and analyses the potential of construction waste as a source of raw
materials.
