Book Description
Qu’est-ce que la mémoire ? Voilà la première question que pose cette étude. Étayée de nombreuses références sur le sujet, l’auteur nous parle non de la mémoire mais des mémoires, immédiate ou à long terme, que nous utilisons sans cesse dans notre vie de tous les jours, et du fantastique système d’encodage, de stockage et de reproduction des informations. Un peu plus loin, il aborde les différentes techniques de mémorisation ainsi que les troubles mnésiques et les thérapies qui s’y attachent. Le deuxième chapitre concerne plus spécifiquement la mémoire de l’enfant et débute par une fine et très intéressante analyse de ce qu’est à proprement parler un enfant, et comment le définir. Ici, il s’agira d’étudier la période entre 6 et 12 ans. La troisième partie aborde la psychométrie et les mesures de mémoire qui peuvent exister, en particulier le CVLT-C, le test d’apprentissage verbal de Californie pour enfants. Et celui-ci constituera la dernière partie de cet ouvrage, mis en pratique et adapté spécifiquement pour 156 enfants scolarisés de Kinshasa.

Le Tumulte Noir
Author: Jody Blake
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 9780271017532
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Jody Blake demonstrates in this book that although the impact of African-American music and dance in France was constant from 1900 to 1930, it was not unchanging. This was due in part to the stylistic development and diversity of African-American music and dance, from the prewar cakewalk and ragtime to the postwar Charleston and jazz. Successive groups of modernists, beginning with the Matisse and Picasso circle in the 1900s and concluding with the Surrealists and Purists in the 1920s, constructed different versions of la musique and la danse negre. Manifested in creative and critical works, these responses to African-American music and dance reflected the modernists' varying artistic agendas and historical climates.

The Congo from Leopold to Kabila
Author: Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja
Publisher: Zed Books
ISBN: 9781842770535
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
As this book shows, the People of the Congo have suffered throughout the past century from a particularly brutal experience of colonial rule, and a series of post-independence political conflicts. But as this insightful political history of the Congolese democratic movement of the 20th century decisively makes clear, its people have not taken these multiple oppressions lying down. Instead, they have struggled both to establish democratic institutions at home and to free themselves from exploitations abroad.

How to Rig an Election
Author: Nic Cheeseman
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300280831
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
An engrossing analysis of the pseudo-democratic methods employed by despots around the world to retain control Contrary to what is commonly believed, authoritarian leaders who agree to hold elections are generally able to remain in power longer than autocrats who refuse to allow the populace to vote. In this engaging and provocative book, Nic Cheeseman and Brian Klaas expose the limitations of national elections as a means of promoting democratization, and reveal the six essential strategies that dictators use to undermine the electoral process in order to guarantee victory for themselves. Based on their firsthand experiences as election watchers and their hundreds of interviews with presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, election officials, and conspirators, Cheeseman and Klaas document instances of election rigging from Argentina to Zimbabwe, including notable examples from Brazil, India, Nigeria, Russia, and the United States—touching on the 2016 election. This eye-opening study offers a sobering overview of corrupted professional politics, while providing fertile intellectual ground for the development of new solutions for protecting democracy from authoritarian subversion.

Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century
Author: Bethwell A. Ogot
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780435948115
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1088
Book Description
The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.
