Laura Parau

El presente artículo se propone analizar tres espacios representativos de la trilogía de Esther Tusquets — la casa, el cuerpo femenino y el mar — con el objetivo de poner de manifiesto su carácter terapéutico y, con ello, la relevancia del elemento espacial para el universo ficcional de la autora. Se trata de unos espacios íntimamente ligados a los procesos de rehabilitación interior de unos personajes en crisis, razón por la cual ostentarán no solo una dimensión física, sino también una simbólica. En virtud de todo esto, las casas, el cuerpo femenino y el mar sobrepasan la condición de meros continentes para convertirse en unos lugares terapéuticos que cumplen la función primordial de Refugio.

Produire des fleurs coupées en agriculture biologique en France : la quadrature du cercle ?Growing c...

The production and marketing of roses is certainly largely globalized, but French production still exists and is being renewed. The more the globalized dimension is revealed in the eyes of the consumers, the more the inclinations of relocation seem numerous. Smaller, more environmentally friendly, diversified, new production structures challenge the global value chain dominated by conventional ... [Show full abstract] methods. Among these new production structures, several are in organic farming (OF), whereas it seemed impossible given the demands of the market. We hypothesize that a new production model of cut flowers in OF is emerging and could contribute to a shift in flower production in France. One survey of producers reveals that squaring the circle is not where we thought. Production is very real but faces challenges, some which may seem insoluble. Through this article, we seek to show which elements support or on the contrary hinder the development of production in OF.

Squaring the Circle: The EU's Operational Impact in the Black Sea Region

June 2014 · Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies

The aim of this paper is to explain the flux in the European Union (EU) policies towards the Black Sea region with a particular comparative focus on the impact of the EU's operations in the South Caucasus and the EU Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM) in Moldova. This paper adopts the prospect and process of EU enlargement towards Central and Eastern Europe as a breakthrough in the EU's deeper ... [Show full abstract] rapprochement with the Black Sea region. By assuming that the EU has a variety of instruments at its disposal for crisis management, this paper suggests that the EU is relatively more powerful with its framework initiatives in dealing with the problems of the region at the grass-roots level, more so than as a security actor assuming direct roles including the operative side of the Common Security and Defence Policy in the resolution of the regional conflicts in Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistria. More specifically, this paper argues to what extent the three-and-a-half operations in the Black Sea are successful in presenting effective solutions to the region's conflictual situations.

Squaring the Circle: A Critique of the Islamisation of the Human Sciences Project

January 2011 · ISLAMIC STUDIES

The Islamisation of Human Sciences Project was proposed in the late 20th century as a response to the educational dilemma faced by the Muslims worldwide.

This paper highlights a number of problems reUted to the ... [Show full abstract] underlying hypotheses as well as the relevant methodologies. It attempts to provide an Islamic view on the cUssification of knowledge in relation to the Islamisation project. Special reference is made to the dimensions of Islamisation in Psychology as a case study and its implications for the disciplines of Fiqh and Uṣūl al-Fiqh. The authors conclude that Islamisation of the human sciences cannot be carried out without wider changes in the societal framework.

Squaring the Circle on Sprawl: What More Can We Do?: Progress Towards Sustainable Land Use in the St...

With almost ten years of nationwide dialogue and experimentation with the legal implementation of smart growth concepts at the state and local levels, this paper pauses to consider whether and to what extent success has been realized. The one certainty in this dynamic intersection of land development and conservation is that there is no one best model adaptable to all fifty states. Rather, to ... [Show full abstract] accommodate national diversity in local government structure, cultural relationships of people to the land, and differences in geography and a sense of place, the best lesson learned is that advocates and lawmakers alike must shape and adopt politically palatable policies, programs, and regulations to best fit their unique jurisdictional sustainability needs. However, with the realization that a lot of innovation is taking place at the state level in furtherance of smart growth initiatives also comes the reality that if states fail to continue to promote and refine these programs, the United States will lose the fight for sustainability. This paper examines the recent efforts by states to provide localities with the tools necessary to curb sprawl and to promote sustainable communities.
