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.
