Nimispauci Politiques méditerranéennes entre logiques étatiques et espace civil - 3. Métamorphoses du mythe méditerranéen - Institut de recherches et d’études sur les mondes arabes et musulmans * Directeur de recherches au CNRS (IREMAM). 1Note portant sur l’auteur* 2L’idée méditerranéenne n’est pas uniforme, elle ne l’a jamais été depuis son émergence au dix-neuvième siècle, quand les pays européens partaient tout à la fois à la redécouverte symbolique de leurs racines orientales et à la conquête pratique de l’Orient contemporain. Durant plus d’un siècle, chacune des principales nations européennes a mené pour son compte cette double expérience d’appropriation de l’espace méditerranéen aux dépens de l’Empire ottoman, et de réappropriation d’une mémoire des origines. 3La pluralité des sensibilités méditerranéennes s’observe aussi au sein de chaque société, à travers différents types de discours – politiques, savants, littéraires – qui varient dans le temps. 1 Une des plus récentes formulations de cette tentative est le texte intitulé « Stratégie commune de (...) 2 T. 13La Méditerranée n’est pas une idée simple. 4 J.R. 8 Selon le modèle trop célèbre de S. 281. 322. 18 F. 19 M.

How to Ride a Fixed Gear Bike Edit Edited by tomtoale@yahoo.com, Brett, Ben Rubenstein, Sondra C and 11 others Fixed gear bikes are one speed bikes with no freewheel - if the bike is moving the pedals are turning. They are hugely popular with bike messengers due to their simplicity, unbreakability and unstealability (you will understand the latter after your first city ride..). Edit Steps 1 Get a fixed gear : The best way is to build bikes from old "10 speed" bikes, which is generally the least expensive and most "customizable" approach. Edit Tips Because sliding friction is less than static friction, skidding actually increases your stopping distance. Edit Warnings Some towns are ticketing riders with one or no brakes.

Roman Literature The Roman Empire and its predecessor the Roman Republic produced an abundance of celebrated literature; poetry, comedies, dramas, histories, and philosophical tracts; the Romans avoided tragedies. Much of it survives to this day. However, Roman literature cannot stand alone. They owe a debt to their neighbor, the Greeks (more specifically Athens). Most educated Romans were well aware of their own literary inferiority, and because of this Roman writers could easily copy Greek classical themes, even going so far as to translate many of the notable Greek works into Latin. Greek influence Roman literature owes a debt to the Greeks, more specifically Athens. This indebtedness to Greece was even recognized by the writers themselves. Comic playwrights According to Rodgers, there was little in the way of Roman literature before the Punic Wars against Carthage (264 – 146 BCE). The first of the three was Plautus (254 – 184 BCE).
