The narrator of 'An Uncertain Shore' returns to the coastal haunts of his youth after a traumatic bereavement, hoping to find solace for his grief by reliving elements of his past. He is soon forced to recognize all that separates him from those he once lived among, but he meets a woman painter and is drawn to her and her distinctive art, learning about her background and her ambitions and sharing with her the cause of his depression. He also becomes involved in the schemes of a maverick journalist, bent on defeating a shady corporation which threatens an ecological calamity in the region. The two new acquaintances intersect unexpectedly, with fatal consequences. But these events in turn prove the trigger for a revived campaign against the corporate menace, led this time by the painter and a woman from the narrator's past, who recruits a band of female militants with an unconventional approach to direct action. (Second edition revised 2024.)
En 1959, au cours d'un entretien, Jean-Claude Brisville demande Albert Camus: Y a-t-il dans votre oeuvre un th me, selon vous important, que vous estimez n glig par vos commentateurs? . quoi l'auteur r pond: l'humour . Avec ces paroles l' crivain ouvre une piste f conde aux chercheurs. Comment se fait-il qu'un auteur dont l'absurde sert de point de d part, ait d signaler que les critiques n'avaient pas estim sa juste valeur l'aspect comique de son oeuvre? Le colloque d'Aix en Provence s'est donn pour t che de rem dier cette carence en faisant ressortir et en r - valuant les aspects humoristiques de l' criture camusienne. Par quels moyens l'auteur fait-il pressentir le sourire dans ses textes? Comment s'y prend-il pour le provoquer chez le lecteur, devenu miroir du visage hilare ou ironique? L' criture recourt une panoplie de techniques stylistiques selon le genre et le contexte: on parle alors de com die, de satire ou de parodie, de plaisanterie, d' pigramme, de mot d'esprit... Le sourire peut-il tre tragique autant que comique ? L'auteur de romans, de pi ces de th tre, d'essais philosophiques et lyriques, de reportages, d' ditoriaux et de lettres tant ouvertes qu'intimes, sait l'art de doser l'humour et la dr lerie par l'interm diaire des mots, des gestes, des situations, de la perspective narrative. Le sourire s'av re fid le cet humour dont Camus souhaitait que la critique fasse la part en lisant son oeuvre.Ont contribu ce volume: Guy BASSET: : Fleurs de sourires dans la proximit de Camus; Marie BR JON: : Le sourire du journaliste: les proc d s de l'ironie dans ses articles d' 'Alger r publicain' et du 'Soir r publicain'; Arnaud DERCELLES et R mi BAUDOU Les crits politiques de Camus: quand le sourire s'estompe; In s de CASSAGNE: Le sourire d'accueil dans les lettres; Peter DUNWOODIE: Je(u) masqu Humour et auto-ironie chez Camus; Giovanni GAETANI: 'Se moquer de la philosophie, c'est vraiment philosopher': l'ironie philosophique d'Albert Camus; Samara GESKE: Le sourire sur les l vres d sesp r es: le rapport entre le comique et le tragique chez Albert Camus;Virginie LUPO: Le rire dans le th tre de Camus ou le rire en clair-obscur; Anissa MANAI-ZAYAR: Le 'rire/sourire' chez Albert Camus; Lamia OUCHERIF: 'L'Etranger' d'Albert Camus, le sourire sur le front... un effet du grotesque.; Linda RASOAMANANA: Un homme, a s'emp che de faire des mines mais a peut sourire: typologie des sourires masculins dans les r cits de Camus; Pierre-Louis REY: Le 'sourire franciscain' de Past que.

At a time when the world is contemplating the depletion of non-renewable natural resources, the consumer society is increasingly being called into question. This is nowhere more acutely evident than in France, where since its beginnings in the nineteenth century, the consumer revolution, extending market forces into every area of social and private life, has been perceived as a challenge to core elements in French culture, such as traditional artisan crafts and small businesses serving local communities. Cultural historians and sociologists have charted the increasing commercialisation of everyday life over the twentieth century, but few have paid systematic attention to the crucial testimony provided by the authors of narrative fiction. Consumer Chronicles rectifies this omission by means of close readings of a series of novels, selected for their authentic portrayal of consumer behaviour, and analysed in relation to their social, cultural and historical contexts. Walker's study, offering an imaginative interdisciplinary panorama covering the impact of affluence on French shoppers, shopkeepers and society, provides telling new insights into the history and characteristics of the consumer mentality.
Simulation Of Beef Cattle Production Systems And Its Use In Economic Analysis

Economic analysis of beef cattle production has been limited by the inability to fully describe the underlying production process. Except for confined feeding of cattle, beef cattle production is the process of growing cattle who consume forages. The animal and the forage possess attributes of both factors and products of production. The production of forage constitutes one production process, animal growth is another production process, and reproduction by female animals is a third production process. Cattle production involves all three processes in such a manner that each influences the outcome of the other. Each process is itself complex and analysis is further complicated when all three are considered simultaneously.

This volume presents several machine intelligence technologies, developed over recent decades, and illustrates how they can be combined in application. One application, the detection of dementia from patterns in speech, is used throughout to illustrate these combinations. This application is a classic stationary pattern detection task, so readers may easily see how these combinations can be applied to other similar tasks. The expositions of the methods are supported by the basic theory they rest upon, and their application is clearly illustrated. The book’s goal is to allow readers to select one or more of these methods to quickly apply to their own tasks.Includes a variety of machine intelligent technologies and illustrates how they can work togetherShows evolutionary feature subset selection combined with support vector machines and multiple classifiers combinedIncludes a running case study on intelligent processing relating to Alzheimer’s / dementia detection, in addition to several applications of the machine hybrid algorithms

Samuel H. Walker, a carpenter turned soldier, fought in the Seminole War, Mier Expedition, and Mexican-American War, where he died heroically leading a charge against Santa Ana's forces.Samuel H. Walker was an apprentice carpenter in Washington, D.C., when the second Seminole War broke out in 1838. He enlisted in a Washington militia unit and went to Florida. Upon the expiration of the unit's service, he was employed in the construction of the railroad from Mobile to Pensacola. Upon the completion of his labors, he removed to Texas where he joined the ill-fated Mier Expedition in 1842, being subsequently imprisoned by the Mexican authorities for two years, during which time he developed an intense hatred for his captors. Upon his release, he returned to Texas and joined the Texas Rangers. When war broke between the United States and Mexico in 1846, Walker joined the 1st Regiment of Texas Mounted Rifle Volunteers before, at the request of General Zachary Taylor, forming his own company of scouts. He subsequently returned to the Texas Mounted Rifles and was elected lieutenant colonel of the regiment.His term of service with Texas finished, he was commissioned as a captain in the U.S. Mounted Rifles and journeyed north to recruit his company. During this time, he met Samuel Colt. His discussions with Colt resulted in the Walker Colt pistol. His company filled, Walker returned to Mexico and the scene of battle. There, in 1847 Walker led a furious charge against the remnants of the Mexican dictator Santa Ana's army in which he was mortally wounded by a Mexican sniper.Based upon archival materials including Walker's own letters--he was a well-educated man and wrote extremely descriptive accounts of his experiences--this is the first in-depth biography of Walker.
