Up Against the Wall

Re-Imagining the U.S.-Mexico Border

As increasing global economic disparities, violence, and climate change provoke a rising tide of forced migration, many countries and local communities are responding by building walls—literal and metaphorical—between citizens and newcomers. Up Against the Wall: Re-imagining the U.S.-Mexico Border examines the temptation to construct such walls through a penetrating analysis of the U.S. wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as investigating the walling out of Mexicans in local communities. Calling into question the building of a wall against a friendly neighboring nation, Up Against the Wall offers an analysis of the differences between borders and boundaries. This analysis opens the way to envisioning alternatives to the stark and policed divisions that are imposed by walls of all kinds. Tracing the consequences of imperialism and colonization as citizens grapple with new migrant neighbors, the book paints compelling examples from key locales affected by the wall—Nogales, Arizona vs. Nogales, Sonora; Tijuana/San Diego; and the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. An extended case study of Santa Barbara describes the creation of an internal colony in the aftermath of the U.S. conquest of Mexican land, a history that is relevant to many U.S. cities and towns. Ranging from human rights issues in the wake of massive global migration to the role of national restorative shame in the United States for the treatment of Mexicans since 1848, the authors delve into the broad repercussions of the unjust and often tragic consequences of excluding others through walled structures along with the withholding of citizenship and full societal inclusion. Through the lens of a detailed examination of forced migration from Mexico to the United States, this transdisciplinary text, drawing on philosophy, psychology, and political theory, opens up multiple insights into how nations and communities can coexist with more justice and more compassion.

Heidegger has linked pole and polis, as in this statement: “Perhaps the polis is
that realm and locale around which everything question-worthy and uncanny
turns in an exceptional sense. The polis is polos, that is, the pole, the swirl [

European Cinema after the Wall

Screening East-West Mobility

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, transnational European cinema has risen, not only in terms of production but also in terms of a growing focus on multiethnic themes within the European context. This shift from national to trans-European filmmaking has been profoundly influenced by such historical developments as the collapse of the Iron Curtain and the subsequent ongoing enlargement of the European Union. In European Cinema after the Wall: Screening East–West Mobility, Leen Engelen and Kris Van Heuckelom have brought together essays that critically examine representations of post-1989 migration from the former Eastern Bloc to Western Europe, uncovering an array of common tropes and narrative devices that characterize the influences and portrayals of immigration. Featuring essays by contributors from backgrounds as divergent as film studies, Slavic and Russian studies, comparative literature, sociology, contemporary history, and communication and media studies, this volume will appeal to scholars of film, European history, and those interested in the impact of migration, diaspora, and the global flow of cinematic culture.

The opening scenes set the tone for the narrative function that is ascribed to the
Polish character, the construction worker Jacek Kowalski: alerted by one of the

LeStockage des produits végétaux au Maroc

choix technique et pertes post-récolte

Le stockage alimentaire est une étape clé de la chaîne opératoire de transformation des produits végétaux. Malgré l’abondance des travaux dans ce domaine, les prospections de terrain restent très dispersées et très peu analysées. L'objectif de notre travail est d'établir un référentiel interprétatif des structures de stockage des produits végétaux le cerner l'ensemble des facteurs déterminant l'emploi d'une structure plutôt qu'une autre. Cette étude décrit et met évidence le fonctionnement technique des principales structures de stockage rencontrées lors d'une enquête réalisée IS trois régions dans le Nord, l'Ouest et le Sud du Maroc. Cette enquête révèle que les tribus rurales marocaines n’accordent pas la même importance aux différentes techniques de conservation des denrées végétales. Du Nord au sud du Maroc, nous avons rencontré des techniques très diverses. Ce choix technique est loin d'être lié seulement aux changements des habitudes alimentaires régionales, il est aussi influencé par une variété des facteurs environnementaux et socio-économiques. Le type de céréale ne régit pas ce choix: c'est plutôt la destination du grain récolté (vente, consommation ou semailles) qui détermine le système de stockage. Cette étude traite également de la conservation des récoltes auquel on n'attache pas toujours l'importance qu'il convient. Cette étude a pour objet de faire une évaluation des pertes en poids dues aux attaques des insectes au cours stockage souterrain (silos souterrains) et aérien (sacs en plastique) des céréales (blé dur, blé tendre et maïs), à partir résultats obtenus à l'issue des expérimentations menées dans la région céréalière des Doukkala (Nord-Ouest du roc). Nous avons prélevé 80 échantillons de chaque espèce dans les mêmes stocks au début et au cours du stockage une période de deux, six et douze mois. Les résultats de cette étude ont montré que les blés ont été mieux conservés en silos souterrains qu'en sac en plastique. Le maïs représente les taux de pertes les plus élevés que se soit au niveau du stockage aérien ou souterrain, une diminution de poids de l'ordre de 3,5 et 8,74% a été enregistrée au cours de sa conservation. Les taux d'attaque qui sont faibles ou presque nuls en début du stockage, atteignent facilement 4,74 et 19% au bout d'un an de stockage. Ce travail a permis de présenter une étude complète des structures de stockage, en étudiant, d'une part, les facteurs environnementaux et socio-économiques qui régissent leurs distribution spatio-temporelle et, d'autre part, l'évaluation pertes des réserves céréalières dues aux attaques des insectes au cours du stockage dans notre région d'étude, et d’identifier les sources de cette infestation et les facteurs qui en sont à l'origine.
