The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – Manuel Zacklad’s concept of documents pour l’action are examined as highly embedded social objects using cultural anthropology and the robotics concept of stigmergy. Pragmatic literacy as opposed to scholarly or recreational literacy is used to inform the discussion. Findings –Documents pour l’action are more than memory devices that explain or describe. They function within highly structured social contexts to organize and bind US society. Research limitations/implications – Research on documents has been limited to their role as memory devices. Documents pour l’action are deeply embedded social objects. A new focus on pragmatic literacy could create many breakthroughs in the understanding of documents generally. Originality/value – This is the first study of the role of documents as a binding force in a society, particularly with an understanding ...

Son objectif était de traiter de façon interdisciplinaire la problématique suivante : « La numérisation, la diffusion des formats numériques originaux, les nouvelles méthodes d'indexation et d'analyse du document ainsi que le fonctionnement en réseau changent les données de base de la vie du document qui devient une sorte de phénix incessamment renaissant » (programme du colloque).

Not surprisingly the six-year civil war became violently sectarian and ethnic. At ceasefire talks on May 4 in Astana, Kazakhstan, Russia proposed four “de-escalation zones” (http://www.dw.com/en/russia-iran-turkey-agree-on-syria- safe-zones-opposition-cries-foul/a-38698548) with Iran, Turkey, and itself serving as guarantors. Yes, partition is necessary. But having three nations that greatly abet the strife serve as enforcers will not produce peace. An impartial plan must be formulated and implemented

Bush, the administration of President Barack Obama is finding its international stability and reconstruction involvements expanding. But the U.S. currently possesses neither the resources nor the political will or the public support to maintain sufficiently large military and civilian forces for lasting S&R in more than a few key locales. So why does intervention benefit the U.S.? What are the factors most effective in predicting where S&R may become necessary? How can the U.S. assess the degree of threat when deciding whether to intervene or not? During October 539 BCE, the Achaemenid Persian leader Cyrus II (the Great) sent his troops into Babylonia (now Iraq) to oust a hegemonic leader and reestablish stability in the Middle East. Cyrus' endeavor was both swift and effective for not only did his forces enter ―in friendship‖ to ―reestablish the seat of government‖ but his ...

There have been few educational resources available other than ARMA conferences and meeting.
