Séra

En khmer, avoir « l'âme au bord des cheveux » signifie « être mort de peur ». Séra l'a bien été quand, le 17 avril 1975, Phnom Penh est tombée aux mains des Khmers rouges. S'il a grandi à l'abri au domaine familial, entre deux cultures, ce jour-là, tout a basculé... L'auteur explore aussi la complexité des événements qui ont conduit à la chute de la capitale et le rôle qu'ont tenu les Français.

J'ai réalisé Impasse et Rouge en hommage à tous ceux que j'ai dû quitter. En mémoire de cette ville, Phnom Penh, qui m'a vu grandir et que j'ai tant aimé parcourir avec mes sandales. Le nez au vent afin d'en saisir toutes les odeurs et vibrations. En mémoire de tous ces événements qui continuent à nous hanter, nous qui sommes là aujourd'hui à espérer et croire...

1979. Les troupes vietnamiennes ont envahi le Cambodge. Le régime de Pol Pot s'effondre, mais la chasse aux contre-révolutionnaires est toujours ouverte. Nhek, fuyant pour la Thaïlande, croise en chemin d'autres déportés en exil et partage le destin des prisonniers de camps de regroupement. Il y retrouve également les humiliations, les représailles... et la mort.

Ce récit graphique raconte, depuis les années 60, la montée tragique qui va conduire au génocide Khmer, depuis la fuite du prince Sihanouk en 1969 jusqu'à la prise de Phnom Penh le 17 avril 1975.
Un gamin emprunte un sentier interdit. Il s'enfonce dans la végétation et il voit les pendus dans les arbres. Ce gamin, c'est Séra, il a neuf ans. En 1975, ses parents et leurs trois enfants sont expulsés par les Khmers rouges. Phnom Penh est tombé, Pol Pot arrive. Son père khmer, est expulsé de l'enceinte de l'Ambassade de France où la famille a trouvé refuge ! Séra est alors âgé de quatorze ans. Il est encore trop tôt pour qu'il puisse raconter la vie « d'avant ».
Séra sait parfaitement que les mots seuls sont bien faibles pour dénoncer cette violence, cette barbarie. De plus, les mots laissent la place à une zone floue où le « sacro-saint » imaginaire du lecteur risque de s'engouffrer et de l'emmener bien loin de la réalité...Il n'en est pas question ! C'est pourquoi l'image s'impose.

Au festival d'Amberside, l'impensable se produit : à l'issue du feu d'artifice, des terroristes envahissent le parc et tirent sur la foule. Cinq adolescents qui ne se connaissent pas témoignent. Il y a Joe et Ellie, aussi beaux et magnétiques l'un que l'autre ; Violet, bonne élève discrète et soeur aimante ; Peaches, outsider passionnée de théâtre ; et March, qui comme Violet fait tout pour passer inaperçu au lycée. Au cours de cette nuit tragique, ils vont se croiser, s'aider, se perdre, se retrouver. Seule compte une chose : survivre... et vivre à nouveau.

Development of the Social Brain, Volume 39

Social relationships play a central role in the evolution and development of human culture and cognition. Volume 39 of the Minnesota Symposium on Child Psychology (Development of the Social Brain) adresses the ontogeny and phylogeny of the social brain from multiple perspectives and levels of analysis. The chapters in this volume shed light on shared versus unique features of social information processing across different species, and sketch out some of the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie such processing. A collection of chapters from distinguished contibutors offer new insights into the unique nature of human development. Flexibly and efficiently navigating the complex dynamics of social interaction remains one of the remarkable achievements of human evolution. As life in social contexts evolved, so did information processing abilities that afforded new ways of interacting with others, emerging into what we now refer to as cultural cognition or cultural practices. The primary objective of the current volume was to consider phylogenetic and ontogenetic influence on specialized social information processing capactities. The volume brings together, for the first time, distinguished research scholars to consider central themes and principles associated with the development of the social brain. Readers will take away a fresh perspective on nature of human nature.

- Wiley
- 24 Septembre 2013
- 9781118417799
The collected papers from the most prestigious symposia in the field of child development provide scholars, students, and practitioners with access to the work of key researchers in human development. This volume focuses on changes in our understanding of cogisnitive control processes-constructs important to the field since Wundt and Freud. Our understanding of these constructs has advanced dramatically in recent years-both empirically and conceptually. This collection brings generalists and specialists alike up-to-date on this central process of human development and the implications for this new knowledge on school success and other areas.

Our knowledge of the environment of the nucleus of our galaxy has been greatly enhanced, by more extensive and sensitive observations at radio and infrared wavelengths, the advent of high resolution x-ray imaging and spectroscopy, and considerable theoretical activity to understand the nucleus and its components, and their activity.
The Galactic Center Workshop 2002 was organized to review recent research on the galactic center, including the latest state-of-the-art observations and important theoretical developments. The workshop covered phenomena on scales ranging from the central several hundred parsecs to the central parsec and within. Each topic was approached from both multi-wavelength observational and theoretical perspectives. -
Active Assessment: Assessing Scientific Inquiry

The term scienti?c inquiry as manifest in different educational settings covers a wide range of diverse activities. The differences in types of scienti?c inquiry can be organized along a continuum according to the degree of teacher control and intellectual sophistication involved in each type of inquiry. Types of scienti?c inquiry can also be de?ned according to whether they produce cultural knowledge or personal knowledge. Authentic scienti?c inquiry is de?ned according to ?ve characteristics: devel- ment of personal and cultural knowledge; contextualized scienti?c knowledge; the progression toward high-order problem solving; social interaction for s- enti?c goals; and scienti?c inquiry as a multi-stage and multi-representational process. The de?nition of scienti?c inquiry that forms the basis for the development of an assessment program consists of a two-part analytical frame: the de?nition of knowledge types relevant to scienti?c inquiry and the de?nition of an organi- tional frame for these knowledge types. Four types of knowledge are signi?cant for the de?nition of a speci?c s- enti?c inquiry program: cognitive knowledge, physical knowledge, represen- tional knowledge, and presentational knowledge. All four of these knowledge types are considered signi?cant. These four types of knowledge are organized in a framework that consists of two intersecting axes: the axis of knowledge types and the axis of stages of a s- ci?c scienti?c inquiry. This framework describes scienti?c inquiry as multi-stage process that involves the development of a series of in-lab outcomes (represen- tions) over an extended period of time.
