Au commencement était la source… Puis vinrent les difficultés. Chaque source pose en effet des problèmes spécifiques. Le présent recueil, issu de deux journées d’étude organisées à l’Institut ...catholique d’études supérieures (La Roche-sur-Yon), s’efforce d’en brosser un panorama, à partir de cas relevant de disciplines, de périodes et de corpus suffisamment variés pour présenter au chercheur en sciences humaines une vue générale des questions que suscitent ses propres pratiques en lien avec de telles sources. À la lumière de ces études, des questions récurrentes déterminent la recherche documentaire : ce que sont les sources, par quel examen critique les évaluer, comment les organiser, enfin comment élaborer un récit scientifique fidèle, autant que possible, à leurs enseignements. La source est-elle intègre, authentique, sincère, représentative ? Son témoignage, parfois polémique, est lacunaire aussi, parce que séparé de la culture dans laquelle il s’intégrait et que cherche à reconstituer le chercheur, à la manière d’un puzzle dont il ne subsisterait que quelques pièces. La critique des sources navigue entre une lecture littérale et une lecture hypercritique. Cette dernière risque de disqualifier par principe tout récit historien fondé sur des sources qui ne seraient jugées ni sûres, ni vérifiables, ni exploitables, comme les récits légendaires de la fondation de Rome. L’esprit critique, pourtant nécessaire à la déontologie scientifique, peut paralyser le discours savant quand il est systématisé. Mais comment apprécier un degré approprié de critique et un degré excessif ? La question des sources en vient donc à en ouvrir une autre, une interrogation de nature épistémologique et philosophique : comment fonder le savoir ?

With this book the editors complete the three-volume series on modern Japanese colonialism and imperialism that began with The Japanese Colonial Empire, 1895-1945 (Princeton, 1983) and The Japanese ...Informal Empire in China, 1895-1937 (Princeton, 1989). The Japanese military takeover in Manchuria between 1931 and 1932 was a critical turning point in East Asian history. It marked the first surge of Japanese aggression beyond the boundaries of its older colonial empire and set Japan on a collision course with China and Western colonial powers from 1937 through 1945. These essays seek to illuminate some of the more significant processes and institutions during the period when the empire was at war: the creation of a Japanese-dominated East Asian economic bloc centered in northeast Asia, the mobilization of human and physical resources in the older established areas of Japanese colonial rule, and the penetration and occupation of Southeast Asia.Introduced by Peter Duus, the volume contains four sections: Japan's Wartime Empire and the Formal Colonies (Carter J. Eckert and Wan-yao Chou), Japan's Wartime Empire and Northeast Asia (Louise Young, Y. Tak Matsusaka, Ramon H. Myers, and Takafusa Nakamura), Japan's Wartime Empire and Southeast Asia (Mark R. Peattie, E. Bruce Reynolds, and Ken'ichi Goto), and Japan's Wartime Empire in Other Perspectives (George Hicks, Hideo Kobayashi, and L. H. Gann).

This innovative volume is the first to address the
conservation of contemporary art incorporating biological materials
such as plants, foods, bodily fluids, or genetically engineered
organisms. ...Eggshells, flowers, onion peels, sponge cake,
dried bread, breast milk, bacteria, living organisms-these are just
a few of the biological materials that contemporary artists are
using to make art. But how can works made from such perishable
ingredients be preserved? And what logistical, ethical, and
conceptual dilemmas might be posed by doing so? Because they are
prone to rapid decay, even complete disappearance, biological
materials used in art pose a range of unique conservation
challenges. This groundbreaking book probes the issues associated
with displaying, collecting, and preserving these unique works of
art. The twenty-four papers from the conference present a range of
case studies, prominently featuring artists' perspectives, as well
as conceptual discussions, thereby affording a comprehensive and
richly detailed overview of current thinking and practices on this
topic. Living Matter is the first publication to explore
broadly the role of biological materials in the creative process
and present a variety of possible approaches to their preservation.
The free online edition of this open-access publication is
available at www.getty.edu/publications/living-matter/ and includes
videos and zoomable illustrations. Also available are free PDF,
EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the book.
Over one hundred presentations from the thirty-fourth Charleston Library Conference (held November 5-8, 2014) are included in this annual proceedings volume. Major themes of the meeting included ...patron-driven acquisitions versus librarian-driven acquisitions; marketing library resources to faculty and students to increase use; measuring and demonstrating the library's role and impact in the retention of students and faculty; the desirability of textbook purchasing by the library; changes in workflows necessitated by the move to virtual collections; the importance of self-publishing and open access publishing as a collection strategy; the hybrid publisher and the hybrid author; the library's role in the collection of data, datasets, and data curation; and data-driven decision making. While the Charleston meeting remains a core one for acquisitions, serials, and collection development librarians in dialog with publishers and vendors, the breadth of coverage of this volume reflects the fact that the Charleston Conference is now one of the major venues for leaders in the information community to shape strategy and prepare for the future.Over 1,600 delegates attended the 2014 meeting, ranging from the staff of small public library systems to CEOs of major corporations. This fully indexed, copyedited volume provides a rich source for the latest evidence-based research and lessons from practice in a range of information science fields. The contributors are leaders in the library, publishing, and vendor communities.
The most authoritative publication in nearly fifty years on
the subject of conserving paintings on canvas. In 2019,
Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation, held an
international ...conference, where nearly four hundred attendees from
more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a vital topic: how
best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the first major
symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and glue-paste
lining reigned as the predominant conservation techniques. Over the
past fifty years, such methods, which were often destructive to
artworks, have become less widely used in favor of more minimalist
approaches to intervention. More recent decades have witnessed the
reevaluation of traditional practices as well as focused research
supporting significant new methodologies, procedures, and synthetic
materials for the care and conservation of paintings on fabric
supports. Conserving Canvas compiles the proceedings of
the conference, presenting a wide array of papers and posters that
provide important global perspectives on the history, current
state, and future needs of the field. Featuring an expansive
glossary of terms that will be an invaluable resource for
conservators, this publication promises to become a standard
reference for the international conservation community. The free
online edition of this open-access publication is available at
getty.edu/publications/conserving-canvas. Also available are free
PDF and EPUB downloads of the book.
