Et vive le Tibet de Pema

release date: Nov 09, 2022
Et vive le Tibet de Pema
Résumé Pema, jeune tibétaine de 21 ans, étudiante à la Sorbonne, commet l’irréparable. Les quelques jours qui précédent, elle fait de Matthieu son dernier interlocuteur et lui adresse des lettres testamentaires. Elle présente son histoire, celle du Tibet, les raisons et le sens qu’elle entend porter à son acte. Elle exprime sa peur de la mort et offre un manifeste, dérisoire et pathétique. Révoltée, parfois injuste …Elle a 20 ans. Pema se glisse dans nos mémoires, habite notre espace et nous bouleverse jusqu’au fond des tripes : elle crie la soif des Tibétains pour la liberté. Pema est chacune de ces extraordinaires jeunes femmes ukrainiennes, kurdes, iraniennes, syriennes ou ouïghours qui opposent leurs vies aux obscurantismes régressifs de notre temps. Biographie David Farmer a choisi le roman depuis 2018 pour donner de la substance à des questions contemporaines : prise de risque, responsabilité et choix éthique, engagement non-conventionnel, dépassement de soi. Dans ce 3e ouvrage, il avance un peu plus loin, pose et entrelace les questions de la liberté, du sacrifice, de l''oubli et de la découverte de soi.

Post-Traditional Public Administration Theory

release date: Mar 22, 2021
Post-Traditional Public Administration Theory
This book describes what is argued to be the most effective way of doing public administration thinking. Its aim is to encourage governments to govern fundamentally better in terms of policy and administration. A better understanding of context and identities, imaginization, epistemic pluralism, anti-administration, and the context of economics are examples of what is critical for high effectiveness. The pieces included in this book have been handpicked from the vast academic collection that David Farmer has authored over the last thirty years and which were published in the Journal of Administrative Theory and Praxis and the Journal of Public Administration Education. Collectively, these chapters are intended to help governments use post-traditional public administration theory in order to achieve better praxis.

Heidegger le nazi ou l'assassin d'Ulysse

release date: May 22, 2018
Heidegger le nazi ou l'assassin d'Ulysse
Atteint d''un véritable toc obsessionnel dès qu''il s''agit des concepts, de l''histoire et de la vie de Martin Heidegger, Hector décide de s''attaquer frontalement à l''icône. Sa révolte le conduit devant la justice et il profite de cette tribune pour ouvrir un procès en déshabilitation du penseur allemand. Dans ce roman aux allures d''essai, Hector plaide la déconstruction de tous les diktats et souligne l''absurdité des obscurantismes mortifères. Au-delà, il pose les questions de la responsabilité éthique de l''intellectuel, du sens de la philosophie et de la justice, des droits et des devoirs qui permettent de faire advenir une société heureuse. A travers l''odyssée de cet Hector candide et vintage, David Farmer nous parle d''aujourd''hui, de nous, de notre conscience et de notre aptitude à penser par nous-mêmes un monde joyeux et fraternel.

Le Nazi Heidegger

release date: Oct 05, 2017
Le Nazi Heidegger
Synospis (French and English)Atteint d''''un v�ritable toc obsessionnel d�s qu''''il s''''agit des concepts, de l''''histoire et de la vie de Martin Heidegger, Hector d�cide de s''''attaquer frontalement � l''''ic�ne. Sa r�volte le conduit devant la justice et il profite de cette tribune pour ouvrir un proc�s en d�shabilitation du penseur allemand. Il rappelle la compromission totale du philosophe avec les pires th�ses nazies. Il s''''en prend �galement aux vis�es d''''une pens�e mortif�re qui se diffuserait dans toutes les sph�res de la soci�t� selon l''''agenda noir dict� depuis l''''outre-tombe par le magicien de Messkirch.Tout � la fois combatif et irritant, compulsif et attachant, immature et responsable, onirique et incisif, Hector plaide la d�construction des diktats impos�s depuis 90 ans par les adorateurs z�l�s de l''''ex Reichsf�hrer de l''''Universit� de Fribourg, sombre faux proph�te allemand qui r�vait d''''asphyxier Hom�re dans le Rhin et r�gner mille ans sur l''''Olympe des po�tes.Si l''''histoire n''''est pas un pr�toire, Hector n''''est ni historien, ni philosophe, ni juriste. Avec les surcro�ts d''''une bonne foi r�demptrice, il s''''�chine � truffer d''''explosifs le bunker dans lequel le penseur nazi a cach� ses grimoires et dans lequel se sont retranch�s des suiveurs misanthropes qui ne mettent au monde aucune r�volution heureuse.Pour mieux dynamiter cette camisole psychique clout�e sur les humanit�s, il s''''invente le mythe consolateur de l''''homme tragique embarqu� dans un univers spinoziste en expansion.� travers l''''odyss�e de cet Hector candide et vintage, David Farmer pose la question de la responsabilit� �thique de l''''intellectuel : doit-il, dans l''''atonie g�n�rale, conserver l''''unique et extraordinaire privil�ge de ne jamais �tre redevable pour les crimes contre l''''humanit� que pourraient juridiquement constituer ses �crits et ses actions ?Dans un troisi�me chapitre vierge de mots, procuration est donn�e � tout �tudiant, tout po�te et tout lecteur, pour proposer ses r�flexions, ses plaidoiries, ses h�sitations, ses d�bats, ses verdicts, ses opinions, son lyrisme et sa po�sie.Seized with a very strong obsession with the concepts, history and life of Martin Heidegger, Hector decides to tackle the icon face on. His actions lead to his prosecution, and he takes advantage of this rostrum to initiate a case for the disempowerment of the German thinker. He refers to the philosopher''''s absolute compromise with the worst of the Nazi theses. He also attacks the targeting of mortifying ideas as they have spread across all sections of society in line with the black agenda of the magician of Messkirch. At once combative and irritating, compulsive and endearing, immature and responsible, dreamlike and incisive, Hector pleads for the deconstruction of the diktats imposed over the last 90 years by the zealous adorers of the former Reichsf�hrer at the University of Fribourg, for this dark false German prophet who dreamed of asphyxiating Homer in the Rhine and reigning a thousand years on the Olympus of poets. In the same sense that history is not a praetorian court, Hector is neither a historian, nor a philosopher, nor a jurist. With additional bona fide redeeming force, he plants his explosives inside the bunker where the Nazi thinker stored his grimoires as a basis for the misanthropic followers who do not lead the world to any positive revolutions. In order to really blast this psychic straightjacket studded on the disciplines of the humanities, he comes up with a consolidating myth of a tragic man embarked in a Spinozian universe in expansion.Throughout the candid and vintage Hector''''s odyssey, David Farmer poses the question of the intellectual''''s ethical responsibility: In the third blank chapter which is devoid of words, the power of attorney is handed over in a literal sense to any student, poet or reader enabling them to put forward their own reflections, their pleadings, hesitations, debates, verdicts, opinions, their lyricism and their poetry.

Gower Handbook of Purchasing Management

Gower Handbook of Purchasing Management
"This title was first published in 2002. The revised third edition of the "Gower Handbook and Supply Management" views procurement as standing on the boundary of the firm, looking outwards and scanning the environment for new opportunities and threats. In this respect, as in many others, the new edition is quite different from the previous two, reflecting the many changes that have taken place for businesses over the years. In particular this edition has been slimmed down and focused to assist the reader by working systematically outwards using a purchasing lens to view the wider business world. The aim is to show the potential contribution that purchasing can make as a driver for organizational efficiency and business development. It is this latter requirement, the need for purchasing to generate revenue, that has been identified as being ever more prominent as a demand on purchasing directors'' time and effort. Written by leading practitioners and academics, and published in association with the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply, this book should become a classic in the field."--Provided by publisher.

The Cancer Diaries, a Journey Through the Crucible
Book Synopsis: In 1998, Carol Farmer, a mother and active, vibrant woman, received a diagnosis from her doctor that is every woman''s worst nightmare: You have breast cancer. After Carol and her husband David and their two daughters, Cherise and Danielle, recovered from the initial shock, they began the long and arduous journey of trying to figure out the complexities of this insidious disease. While weeding through the inordinate amounts of information, consulting with doctors, and determining and deciding on the best course of treatment, each began writing a journal of their experience, unaware that the others were also doing so.
