Agriculture, agronomie et droits de petite propriété dans la Chine impériale (XVIIIe siècle avant J.-C. -1911)
No full textAgriculture, Technics and Social Property Rights in Imperial China Sucheta Mazumdar
This paper argues that the emergence of small peasant proprietorship in China was the resuht of a particular historical conjuncture, the outcome of peasant struggles for land rights and ruling class political and economic interests. Beginning with a brief look at the early history of agriculture in China the focus of the essay is on two junctures, the Sixth century and the Seventeenth century. The essay argues that Chinese economy and society was not always based on the small holder and that the demise of the manorial economy occurred only in the seventeenth century. By a close comparison of two Chi¬ nese texts on agronomy, one from the sixth century and the other from the seventeenth century, the essay illustrates how changing agricultural techniques were integral to sustaining small peasant property from the Seventeenth century onwards.Cet article démontre que l'émergence de la petite propriété paysanne en Chine tient à une conjoncture historique particulière, qui résulte des luttes paysannes autour des droits fonciers et des intérêts économiques et politiques de la classe dirigeante. Après un bref panorama rétrospectif des débuts de l'agriculture chinoise, deux moments-clés, le VIe siècle et le XVIIe siècle, signalent que l'économie et la société chinoises n'ont pas toujours été fondées sur la petite propriété, et que l'économie manoriale ne s'est effondrée qu'au XVIIe siècle. La comparaison détaillée de deux textes agronomiques chinois du VIe siècle, l'autre du XVIIe siècle, montre à quel point la modification des techniques agricoles a joué un rôle essentiel dans le développement d'une petite propriété paysanne viable à partir du XVIIe siècle.Mazumdar Sucheta.

Rights in people, rights in land : concepts of customary property in late imperial China
No full textThe essay investigates how the legal term "property" elaborated in contracts and deeds can be understood in social practice in eighteenth and nineteenth century China. As "property" is better understood as a set of relations or "rights" rather than the material object, the existence of contracts for land cannot be taken at face value. Rather than tools of a market-mediated exchange society, these contracts were stitches in the webs of reciprocity and redistribution peculiar to rural society. By way of comparison to the issue of land rights, the essay examines another form of "property", namely, rights in humans. These questions are explored in the context of two very dissimilar geographical areas : Guangdong Delta in coastal south China, with a dominant pattern of intensive small-holder commercialized agriculture, and land-locked Anhui (Huizhou prefecture) in central China with a dominant pattern of serf-labor based commercialization.Droits sur les gens, droits sur la terre : de la propriété coutumière en Chine à la fin de l'empire
Cet article examine comment le terme juridique de « propriété » usité pour les contrats et autres actes doit être compris dans la Chine du XVIIIe siècle. Comme la « propriété » est plutôt un ensemble de relations ou de « droits » entre personnes qu'un objet matériel, l'existence de contrat sur les terres ne saurait être prise au pied de la lettre. Plutôt que les instruments d'une société de marché, ces contrats étaient des mailles des réseaux de réciprocité et de redistribution propres à une société rurale. L'auteur établit une comparaison entre ces droits sur les terres, et un autre genre de propriété : les droits sur les hommes de statut servile. Ces questions sont étudiées dans deux contextes bien différents : le delta du Guangdong sur la côte méridionale, où dominaient les petits propriétaires pratiquant une agriculture commercialisée très intensive, et l'Anhui, province intérieure de la Chine centrale, où la commercialisation concernait des grandes exploitations cultivées par des esclaves.Mazumdar Sucheta.

No full textEste artículo reflexiona sobre las ramificaciones ideológicas y políticas de la interpretación histórica india. Examina los prejuicios sectario-religiosos en la historiografía, que las instituciones utilizan para arrojar una representación distorsionada de la realidad, sin dar cabida a otros puntos de vista. Así, estudiamos cómo se promueven determinados libros de texto y suprimen otros en beneficio de posiciones sectarias. A su vez, estos grupos se apropian de las figuras representativas del nacionalismo laico.This article discusses the ideological and political ramifications of historical interpretation.
It examines the communal perspective on the writing of history to show how it is a distorted representation of reality, so institutions propagate the communal point of view and suppress alternative perspectives. The suppression of the textbooks written from a secular scientific standpoint and the distortions in the textbooks for schools sponsored by the communal groups wielding state power are analysed. This need for legitimacy on the part of the communal forces prompts them to appropriate the icons of the secular nationalist movement —clearly a farcical exercise

At Fall 2008, Vasant Kaiwar and Sucheta Mazumdar from Duke University (USA), Carlos Antonio Aguirre Rojas from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico) and Thierry Labica from Paris X University (France) met for joint research on « Structure and Categories of Knowledge Production : The Universal and the Particular ». While the project has addressed a number of issues, with the participation of additional scholars, the team members submit here four presentations on « Existing Globalization and its Alternatives » commented upon by academics from Paris and Mexico : « Globalization’s Grand Narratives of Regress : Women, Religion and its Restoration » (Labica) ; « Race, Civilizational Model and Eugenics Thought in China » (Mazumdar) ; « What is Postcolonialist Orientalism and How does it Matter ? » (Kaiwar) and finally « Political Lessons of the New Anti-systemic Movements in Latin America » (Aguirre Rojas)

Two-dimensional modeling of steady state heat transfer in solids with use of spreadsheet (MS EXCEL)
No full textIn order to resolve both temperature distribution and heat flux in bodies whose geometries are not simple the analytical solutions are limited. In unsteady conditions are needed methods that would allow to calculate temperatures distribution within a three-dimensional heat conducting body of any shape. In this project, the study is focused on two-dimensional modeling steady state. The target is using the MS EXCEL program specifying iterative calculations in order to get a temperature distribution of a concrete shape of piece.
The aim of the thesis is offering to the universities an alternative way of calculating heat transfer by numerical method. Nowadays programs like ANSYS, which costs use to be quite expensive, provide the students of a quick and accurate sort of solving this kind of problems, however, in the work done below is shown how MS EXCEL is successful in the same type of calculations. The advantage of the usage of this program is clear, most of the universities can afford provide their students MS EXCEL.
The accomplishment of one of the tests done is compared with the results given by ANSYS, with sactisfactory conclusions.Outgoin
