This book examines the social and spatial dimensions of dwelling from the perspective of sustainability. This publication avoids the traditional energy and technological dimensions of sustainability to position the notion of sustainable dwelling at the crossroads of spatial polyvalence and residents' empowerment. In the field of housing, this publication identifies the recurrent properties of 'sustainable space’ and the variety of the socio-cultural practices that can embody them. Its purpose is to comprehend how the concept of sustainability is reflected in housing spaces as well as to analyse how inhabitants put those spaces to the test.

This book sets out the problem of literacy in Africa. It underlines its inherent properties, examines the various orientations put forward by the many Conferences on adult education that have taken place since 1949, reviews the implementation of the recommendations that came out, and underlines the political dimensions of the challenges to be met. It finally questions the possible solutions as well as the role of structures, both institutional and those resulting from civil society. It emphasizes the importance of the role of local languages in the development of adult education and insists upon the necessity of adapting them to the world of modern knowledge.

Depuis une vingtaine d'années, le rôle de l'université constitue un enjeu important si l'on analyse les multiples tentatives pour redéfinir ses missions fondamentales. De nouvelles tensions entre la recherche, l'enseignement et le marché ont vu le jour. Le déclin des investissements gouvernementaux a forcé les universités à se tourner davantage vers le secteur privé pour financer tant la recherche que certains programmes de formation. Aussi, une population étudiante plus diversifiée et moins homogène dans ses parcours et ses expériences, l'émergence du chercheur-entrepreneur et la multiplication des centres de recherche en milieu universitaire sont autant de phénomènes qui modifient profondément la dynamique universitaire. Le modèle de l'université moderne, formulé par Humboldt au début du XIXI siècle, est ainsi remis en cause et d'aucuns veulent ajouter l'innovation et la valorisation économique aux missions d'enseignement, de recherche et de service à la collectivité qui définissent depuis longtemps les missions premières des universités. Cet ouvrage, qui réunit les meilleurs spécialistes européens et nord-américains de l'histoire des universités, est le premier à couvrir les transformations des universités de ses débuts, au Moyen Âge, jusqu'à nos jours. Collectivement, ces contributions montrent que l'université a subi, tout au long de son histoire, de nombreuses mutations et transformations qui ont affecté plus ou moins profondément sa structure, ses agents, sa mission, ses systèmes de représentation, son interaction avec la société et ses rapports avec le pouvoir. En somme, loin d'avoir été une "tour d'ivoire" déconnectée de la vie sociale, les universités ont toujours été partie prenante du milieu dans lequel elles se sont implantées.
