Energy Transition in Europe’s Power House. Alleingang, avant-garde or blackout? IES Policy Brief Issue 2012/03/October 2012

Summary. The transformation of Germany’s energy sector will further exacerbate current network fluctuations and intensify the need for modifications in Europe’s power system. Cross-border power transfers will have to increase in order to overcome national limitations for absorbing large volumes of intermittent renewables like wind and solar power. In order to establish such an infrastructure on a European scale, the energy transition needs to be guided by an economic approach designed to prevent further fractures in the Internal Electricity Market. Moreover, constructive negotiations with neighbouring countries on market designs and price signals will be important preconditions for a successful energy transition in Europe.

Women in Europe between the wars:politics, culture and society

The central aim of this interdisciplinary book is to make visible the intentionality behind the 'forgetting' of European women's contributions during the period between the two world wars in the context of politics, culture and society. It also seeks to record and analyse women's agency in the construction and reconstruction of Europe and its nation states after the First World War, and thus to articulate ways in which the writing of women's history necessarily entails the rewriting of everyone's history. By showing that the erasure of women's texts from literary and cultural history was not accidental but was ideologically motivated, the essays explicitly and implicitly contribute to debates surrounding canon formation. Other important topics are women's political activism during the period, antifascism, the contributions made by female journalists, the politics of literary production, genre, women's relationship with and contributions to the avant-garde, women's professional lives, and women's involvement in voluntary associations. In bringing together the work of scholars whose fields of expertise are diverse but whose interests converge on the inter-war period, the volume invites readers to make connections and comparisons across the whole spectrum of women's political, social, and cultural activities throughout Europe.

Typologie de l'avant-garde historique et l'exemple de l'Automatisme au Québec

Depuis la fin des années soixante et d'une manière encore plus nette, depuis le milieu des années soixante-dix, l'étude de l'avant-garde connaît une bonne fortune. En effet, que ce soit dans le domaine des arts ou des lettres, les recherches sur le sujet n'ont cessé de se multiplier. La tenue en 1967 d'un congrès sur l’avant-garde littéraire et la publication en 1984 d'un ouvrage collectif du Centre d'étude des avant-gardes littéraires de l'Université de Bruxelles confirme l'intérêt toujours croissant des chercheurs qui développent, par exemple, les questions de la terminologie, de la prise de conscience, de la lutte idéologique, du conflit de légitimité et de la crise des conventions de l'avant-garde. En tant que phénomène artistique, l'avant-garde joue un rôle de premier ordre dans l'émulation des idées et des formes. C'est la raison pour laquelle nous avons voulu aborder l'histoire, de même que le fonctionnement et le rôle de cette dernière. Mais l'étendue du sujet débordant largement le cadre d'un mémoire de maîtrise, nous avons dû limiter notre analyse, ce qui explique pourquoi nous avons échafaudé des questions aussi importantes que les stratégies discursives, la réception critique, les fondements sociologiques et les conditions d'émergence de l'avant-garde. Pour combler cette lacune, nous avons donc relevé plusieurs notices bibliographiques qui pourront servir au lecteur dans l'éventualité d'une recherche ultérieure.
