Il était arrivé un jour, par hasard, ici dans notre ville, sans qu'on s'en aperçoive, et puis on s'était habitué à lui. C'était un garçon d'une dizaine d'années, avec un visage tout rond et tranquille, et de beaux yeux noirs un peu obliques. Mais c'était surtout ses cheveux qu'on remarquait, des cheveux brun cendré qui changeaient de couleur selon la lumière, et qui paraissaient presque gris à la tombée de la nuit. [...] Quand il arrivait vers vous, il vous regardait bien en face, il souriait, et ses yeux étroits devenaient deux fentes brillantes. C'était sa façon de saluer. Quand il y avait quelqu'un qui lui plaisait, il l'arrêtait et lui demandait tout simplement : "Est-ce que vous voulez m'adopter ?"; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 278 pages. Near Fine .

Appartenances Essai en Pièces Détachées

David, 2010. Paperback. ISBN: 2895971455. Signed by the author on the front end paper. Tightly bound, bright, unmarked pages. Matching bookmark included. "Appartenances : essai en pie`ces de´tache´es . Évoquer le délitement sociétal renvoie à la notion de structures organisationnelles, lesquelles s’inscrivent dans les appartenances au sein desquelles se construit l’identité du sujet. Force est de constater que la première inscription dans la société humaine prend sa source dans l’anthroponymie. À ce système d’appartenances, s’ajoutent ceux liés à la nationalité et à la langue ou aux langues, pour ne citer que ces derniers. Si les appartenances fédèrent le groupe, qu’en est-il quand plusieurs groupes appartiennent à un territoire commun (réel ou symbolique) , mais construisent leur identité dans le cadre de valeurs antinomiques ? Peut-on alors parler d’un projet sociétal commun ? Dans ce présent article, il sera mis en perspective structures organisationnelles et construction identitaire du groupe et de l’individu et, à partir d’exemples, il sera interrogé comment l’adhésion à un système d’appartenances données peut faire évoluer une structure sociale soit vers la néguentropie ou, encore, soit vers l’entropie." ; 11.5 X 1.9 X 18.5 centimeters; 301 pages; Signed by Author.
