Economic importance of the Belgian ports: Flemish maritime ports, Liège port complex and the port of Brussels – Report 2009
Get PDFThis paper is an annual publication issued by the Microeconomic Analysis service of the National Bank of Belgium. The Flemish maritime ports (Antwerp, Ghent, Oostende, Zeebrugge), the Autonomous Port of Liège and the port of Brussels play a major role in their respective regional economies and in the Belgian economy, not only in terms of industrial activity but also as intermodal centres facilitating the commodity flow. This update paper provides an extensive overview of the economic importance and development of the Flemish maritime ports, the Liège port complex and the port of Brussels in the period 2004 - 2009, with an emphasis on 2009. Focusing on the three major variables of value added, employment and investment, the report also provides some information about social balance and the financial situation in these ports as a whole. These observations are linked to a more general context, along with a few cargo statistics. Annual accounts data from the Central Balance Sheet Office were used for the calculation of direct effects, the study of financial ratios and the analysis of the social balance sheet. The indirect effects of the activities concerned were estimated in terms of value added and employment, on the basis of data from the National Accounts Institute. In terms of maritime cargo traffic, the downturn recorded during the last quarter of 2008 continued throughout 2009. Direct value added declined in all the ports in Flanders. Maritime branches as a whole contracted. Only the value added of the maritime branches in the port of Ostend remained stable. The non-maritime branches as a whole saw a contraction in all the Flemish ports. It was the port of Antwerp that suffered the most from the drop in the value added. Its maritime branches shrank by nearly one third. While the non-maritime branches were slightly down. The port of Ghent recorded a bigger decrease in the non-maritime branches. Conversely, the value added in the port of Zeebrugge fell more sharply in the maritime branches. Direct employment in the ports of Flanders as a whole declined during the year 2009. Except in Ghent, direct employment in the maritime branches fell in all the Flemish ports. Similarly, only one of them, the port of Ostend, recorded a rise in employment in the non-maritime branches. Thanks to this, it has been the only Flemish port to register direct employment growth. Investment decreased in all the ports in Flanders. The decline in investment was between one-sixth and one-fifth in the ports of Ghent, Antwerp and Zeebrugge. While Ostend recorded a cut of more than one third in its investment levels in 2009. The volume of cargo handled in the port of Liège decreased strongly in 2009. Direct value added and employment registered a significant decline. Maritime and non-maritime branches were down for both value added and employment. Thanks to the "other services" branch of activity, investment rose steadily. The volume of cargo handled at the port of Brussels declined in 2009. Value added in this port remained steady. But employment contracted slightly. After the growth seen in 2008, investment was down by more than a quarter. This report provides a comprehensive account of these issues, giving details for each economic sector, although the comments are confined to the main changes that occurred in 2009.branch survey, maritime cluster, subcontracting, indirect effects, transport intermodality, public investments

« Face chevaline » et « tête d’échassier » : la caricature anthropozoomorphe dans l’œuvre de Claude Simon
No full textDe nombreux personnages simoniens sont décrits selon des procédés de déconstruction largement employés dans la caricature : la distorsion des traits de leur visage et leur disproportion anatomique les dotent de caractéristiques physiques animales et les métamorphosent en figures hybrides. Pour autant, le caractère satirique de la caricature animalière réalisée dans les descriptions simoniennes pose question, dans la mesure où l’auteur revendique de ne pas être un moraliste. L’article se propose ainsi d’interroger l’influence de la caricature anthropozoomorphe du xixe siècle sur l’écriture de Claude Simon, à la fois dans ses dimensions esthétique et éthique, entre effet de collage, satire sceptique et figures grotesques.Many Claude Simon’s characters are described with deconstructive processes widely used in caricature. The distortion of their facial features and their anatomical disproportion endow them with animal characteristics and metamorphose them into hybrid figures. However, Claude Simon’s animal caricatures are not necessarily of a satirical nature, since the author claims not to be a moralist. This article explores the question of the influence of anthropozoomorphic nineteenth-century caricature on Claude Simon’s writing both in its aesthetic and ethical dimensions, between collage effect, sceptical satire and grotesque figures

Claude Simon, un écrivain « romanesque » ? Figures et postures de l’auteur dans l’œuvre, dans la théorie et dans les médias
Get PDFDans les romans de Claude Simon, les représentations de la figure de l’auteur constituent autant d’avatars, de modèles ou contremodèles possibles. Dans ses écrits théoriques et ses interventions médiatiques, Simon a également construit une théorie de l’auteur qui fait écho à ces figures fictives. Cet ensemble transversal et cohérent finit par générer une image de Claude Simon lui-même et de la conception simonienne du romancier, dans un jeu romanesque entre vie et œuvre, entre fictif et biographique.In Claude Simon’s novels, the representations of the figures of the author are made of so many avatars, models or counter-models. In his theoretical essays and his media activities, Simon has also built a theory of the author which echoes these fictional figures. This coherent and transversal whole builds up a picture of Simon himself and also gives a picture of the conception of Simon as a novelist, setting a novelistic game closely intertwined between life and the work and between fictional and biographical
Corps de l’écrivain et érotisme littéraire chez Claude Simon
Get PDFDe Triptyque (1973) au Jardin des Plantes (1997), l’écriture de Claude Simon a connu d’importantes évolutions. Cet article le montre en étudiant ce qui a trait au corps dans ces deux romans. Le corps est en effet un analyseur méconnu de la poétique simonienne et de ses mutations au fil de l’œuvre. La lecture des deux romans donne à voir que le corps de l’écrivain en tant que tel est porté par une exigence d’autonomie scripturale toujours plus forte, qui fait de l’écriture la matière même d’un engagement spécifiquement littéraire. Dans Le Jardin des Plantes, cet engagement anime l’écrivain à telle enseigne qu’il le porte à relever le défi d’un érotisme littéraire dont il est non seulement l’auteur, mais l’acteur.From Triptyque (1973) to Le Jardin des Plantes (1997), Claude Simon’s writing underwent major changes. This paper aims to show this by focusing on everything related to the body in these two novels. The body turns out to be an underestimated factor in analysing Simon’s poetical devices throughout his work. The two mentioned novels allow to see that the writer’s body as such is constantly sustained by an ever increasing demand for its autonomy, which turns Simon’s writing into the very matter of a specifically literary commitment. In Le Jardin des Plantes, this commitment impels the novelist to the extent it leads him to address the challenge of a literary eroticism, in which he is involved not only as an author, but as an actor
