Indices probables de solifluxion sur les pentes du Mont Mbankolo à Yaoundé (Intertropical type of solifluxion deposits. Cameroon)
No full textAbstract. - A road cut, located at the north-western limit of Yaoundé, shows, on examination, a material presenting many of the criteria specific of solifluxion deposits : rock fragments oriented parallel to the slope, plastic and viscous matrix containing 37 % of clay and 8 % of water. On the whole, we encounter, by some convergence phenomenon, an actual solifluxion deposit of an intertropical type, but similar to those commonly described in cold environments.Résumé. - Une coupe routière à la périphérie nord-ouest de Yaoundé permet d'observer un matériel qui présente les caractères d'un dépôt de solifluction : fragments rocheux disposés parallèlement à la pente ; matrice plastique, visqueuse (argile : 37 %, eau : 8 %). Il semble probable aux auteurs qu'il s'agit, par effet de convergence, d'un véritable dépôt de solifluxion, analogue à ceux qu'on connaît en milieux froids, bien que développé en un climat subéquatorial.Brochu Michel, Tangouenta Joseph, Tchotsoua Michel.

Dynamique des usages des vallées péri-urbaines de Ngaoundéré
No full textLa crise économique a provoqué, dans les villes camerounaises et leurs périphéries, le développement d’une agriculture vivrière intensive. A Yaoundé et dans ses environs, par exemple, tous les espaces cultivables sont exploités pour ravitailler la ville et/ou pour permettre aux citadins d’assurer des ressources monétaires qui leur font défaut suite aux diminutions successives des salaires de la fonction publique (-70 % en 1993) et à la dévaluation du franc CFA (Tchotsoua et Bonvallot, 1994 ; ..
Dynamique informelle de l'espace urbain et érosion accélérée en milieu tropical humide : le cas de la ville de Yaoundé
No full textInformal Dynamics of Urban Space and Accelerated Erosion in a West Tropical Setting : the Case of the City of Yaoundé, Cameroon. The capital of Cameroon is today experiencing a strong demographic growth and one of the major consequences is the acceleration in morphogenesis. In this paper, the author discusses the anthropic causes of this morphogenetic crisis, after a study of the dynamics of urban space and the erosion processes that are occurring in the neighborhoods that have been settled without any regard for city planning. In relation to these causes and the consequences that are unfolding, the author offers several suggestions that could stop the present morpho-dynamic situation.La capitale du Cameroun connaît actuellement une forte croissance démographique dont l'une des conséquences majeures est l'accélération de la morphogénèse. Dans ce travail, l'auteur relève les causes anthropiques de cette crise morphogénique à partir de l'étude de la dynamique de l'espace urbain et des processus érosifs qui s'opèrent dans les quartiers spontanés. En fonction de ces causes et des conséquences amorcées, quelques solutions sont proposées pour freiner la morpho-dynamique actuelle.Tchotsoua Michel.

Michel Houellebecq : humanity and its aftermath /
No full textMichel Houellebecq is perhaps the single most successful and controversial of all contemporary novelists writing in French. Houellebecq has become a global publishing phenomenon: his books have been translated worldwide, three film adaptations of his work have been produced, and the author has been the subject of million-euro publishing deals and of successive media scandals in France. His novels narrate a metaphysical mutation or paradigm shift through which humanity as we know it ceases to be the over-riding value or focus of our world when it comes into conflict with a competitor in the form of a post-human or neo-human species. It is the aim of this book to appraise the global significance of Houellebecq's novelistic visions while at the same time situating them within the context of French literature, culture and society.Michel Houellebecq is perhaps the single most successful and controversial of all contemporary novelists writing in French.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
