Extrait : Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) est un sociologue français qui, à la fin de sa vie, devint, par son engagement public, l'un des acteurs principaux de la vie intellectuelle française. Sa pensée a exercé une influence considérable dans les sciences humaines et sociales, en particulier sur la sociologie française d'après-guerre. Sociologie du dévoilement, elle a fait l'objet de nombreuses critiques, qui lui reprochent en particulier une vision déterministe du social dont il se défendait. Son œuvre sociologique est dominée par une analyse des mécanismes de reproduction des hiérarchies sociales. Bourdieu insiste sur l'importance des facteurs culturels et symboliques dans cette reproduction et critique le primat donné aux facteurs économiques dans les conceptions marxistes. Il entend souligner que la capacité des agents en position de domination à imposer leurs productions culturelles et symboliques joue un rôle essentiel dans la reproduction des rapports sociaux de domination. Ce que Pierre Bourdieu nomme la violence symbolique, qu'il définit comme la capacité à faire méconnaître l'arbitraire de ces productions symboliques, et donc à les faire admettre comme légitimes, est d'une importance majeure dans son analyse sociologique. Le monde social, dans les sociétés modernes, apparaît à Pierre Bourdieu comme divisé en ce qu'il nomme des champs. Il lui semble, en effet, que la différenciation des activités sociales a co...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A713783. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Like many areas of study within Political Science, the influence of constituency on congressional voting is often assumed, but not often demonstrated empirically. Some studies claim constituency has a strong impact; others claim is it nonexistent. In an attempt to find an overall pattern in the literature, I examine numerous studies of congressional decision-making. Specifically I conduct a meta-analysis of 31 studies of constituency influence on congressional voting. I introduce theoretical arguments concerning the impact of constituency, ideology, and party identification on the voting decisions made by members of Congress. I introduce the concept of meta-analysis and describe the specific steps taken in conducting this analysis of congressional voting. The results indicate that constituency influence is a significant predictor of congressional voting, but that ideology and party identification demonstrate a stronger effect than constituency. ...

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A736343. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: On May 25, 1993 the United Nations established a war crimes tribunal at The Hague for the former Yugoslavia - the first such institution since Nuremberg. As the Hague Tribunal gathers evidence and hears cases, every aspect of its establishment, structure, and mode of operation is being compared to the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal (IMT). Many people expect that the principles used to convict the accused at Nuremberg will be just as successfully applied at the Hague Tribunal. However, the cases differ in two important ways. The first difference concerns the factors that drove the establishment of the two events. The motives behind the creation of the IMT tribunal were largely political, while in the former Yugoslavia, though a limited political agenda exists, legal considerations have been paramount The second difference concerns the framework of applicable law. Nuremberg defendants were prosecuted in an ex- post facto manner whereas at the Hague Tribunal, due to codification of war crimes laws since the IMT, the prosecution is required to produce definitive evidence in order to gain conviction. Despite such differences, the Hague Tribunal proceedings are building on the Nuremberg precedent. Just as Nuremberg formed a milestone in the fusing of international law with fundamental moral principles, the Hague Tribunal will likely take this process a step further with the establishment of a permanent international criminal court, thereby creating some measure of deterrence for war crimes in the future. ...

This is a AIR FORCE RESEARCH LAB WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A366853. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The main objective of this project was to determine if heat pipe technology could be used to cool the portion of a missile's control surfaces heated by hot exhaust gas. The goal was to reduce the heat conducted into the body of the missile and its actuation rod. The small portion of the airfoil near the missile body heated by the exhaust plume is to be cooled by rejecting the heat to the large portion of the fin moving through ambient air. It is a ground- to-ground missile with a maximum speed of about Mach 0.75, but the evaporator will see exhaust gas (after shock) at mach 0.89 and 1213 K. The heat pipe was built inside a NACA 0015 airfoil of chord length 0.1143 m, the first 0.05 m of the fin will be heated by the exhaust plume. The report summarizes the aerodynamic heat and cooling approximations used, basic heat pipe theory, design specifications for the missile fin test article, transient heat pipe start-up calculations, experimental setup and testing of the proof-of-concept test article. ...
