Interview: Anne-Marie Fortier
Full text linkThis paper is an edited version of an email interview conducted by Debra Ferreday and Adi Kuntsman with Anne-Marie Fortier, the author of Multicultural Horizons: Diversity and the Limits of the Civil Nation (Routledge, 2008). Fortier’s work has been informative in the development of some of the arguments explored in this special issue; in their conversation Ferreday and Kuntsman asked her to comment on the ideas of haunting, racial imaginaries, nostalgia, national anxieties, political feelings and hopes for the future
Beholder halfway #25: beyond unwanted sound with Marie Thompson
No full textOn this month's episode I discuss the recent book Beyond Unwanted Sound: Noise, Affect and Aesthetic Moralism with its author, Marie Thompson. We discuss different conceptions of 'noise', as anti-music or the cacophony of industrial society, competing theories of noise and Marie's powerful argument that noise is neither inherently bothersome nor transgressive. We end by discussing some of the musicians and sound artists that Marie argues transcend the dominant morality by which noise is related to.</p

BIOFUELS, AGRICULTURE AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Full text linkIn the context of ever-increasing petroleum prices combined with concerns about climate change, timing of adoption and rate of diffusion of land-based fuels and backstop technologies for transportation use are examined in this paper. A global model of land allocation joined with a Hotelling model has been developed. Using this framework, effects of climate and energy policies on world agricultural and energy markets have been explored. Further, their regional impacts are also analyzed. Whereas mandatory blending bio-fuels have substantial effects on world food prices and do not succeed in curbing down carbon emissions fluxes, carbon targets are expected to speed up date of adoption of backstop technologies. Then, sensitivity scenarios with regards to technological parameters reveal that higher is the rate of technological change, earlier backstop technologies are adopted and lower is the stock of carbon accumulated into the atmosphere. Finally, interplay between land-based fuels and deforestation has been studied. Results show that land-based fuels production speeds up world deforestation and causes substantial carbon emissions due to conversion of forests into agricultural lands.Ricardian rents, land use, biofuels, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
Does corruption relieve foreign investors of the burden of taxes and capital controls?
Full text linkIn a sample of fourteen source countries making bilateral investments in forty five countries, the author finds that taxes, capital controls, and corruption, all have large, statistically significant negative effects on foreign investment. Moreover, there is no robust support in the data for the"efficient grease"hypothesis - that corruption helps attract foreign investment by reducing firms'tax burden and the irritant of capital controls.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Capital Markets and Capital Flows,Decentralization,Fiscal&Monetary Policy,Economic Theory&Research,Economic Theory&Research,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Governance Indicators,National Governance,Capital Flows

Author Lecture: Jeanne Marie Laskas, Hidden America (2012)
No full textHidden America From Coal Miners to Cowboys, an Extraordinary Exploration of the Unseen People Who Make This Country Work
Reviews | Sneak a PEEK
Five hundred feet underground, Jeanne Marie Laskas asked a coal miner named Smitty, “Do you think it’s weird that people know so little about you?” He replied, “I don’t think people know too much about the way the whole damn country works.”
Hidden America intends to fix that. Like John McPhee and Susan Orlean, Laskas dives deep into her subjects and emerges with character-driven narratives that are gripping, funny, and revelatory. In Hidden America, the stories are about the people who make our lives run every day—and yet we barely think of them. Laskas spent weeks in an Ohio coal mine and on an Alaskan oil rig; in a Maine migrant labor camp, a Texas beef ranch, the air traffic control tower at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, a California landfill, an Arizona gun shop, the cab of a long-haul truck in Iowa, and the stadium of the Cincinnati Ben-Gals cheerleaders. Cheerleaders? Yes. They, too, are hidden America, and you will be amazed by what Laskas tells you about them: hidden no longer
Si Marie de France était Marie de Meulan
No full textWorking from Holmes' suggestion that Marie de France is Marie de Beaumont de Meulan, wife of Hugues de Talbot, I examine the importance, role and family connections of the Beaumonts and Talbots in the Normandy, England and Ireland of the second half of the XIIth century. This study agrees with the identification proposed by Holmes and asserts that the author of the Espurgatoire is the same person as the author of the Lais and Fables. It shows also that the dedicatee of the Fables could well be William Marshal but that the dedicatee of the Lais would be the young king Henry rather than his father, Henry II.Reprenant l'identification proposée par Holmes de Marie de France à Marie de Beaumont de Meulan, épouse de Hugues de Talbot, j'examine l'importance, le rôle et les relations familiales des Beaumont et Talbot dans la Normandie, l'Angleterre et l'Irlande de la deuxième moitié du XIIe s. Cette étude tend à confirmer l'identification de Holmes, à déterminer que l'auteur de l'Espurgatoire est le même que celui des Lais et des Fables. Elle montre aussi que le dédicataire des Fables pourrait bien être Guillaume le Maréchal tandis que celui des Lais serait le jeune roi Henri plutôt que son père, Henri II.de Pontfarcy Yolande.
