Coupling analysis of multi-systems urbanization: Evidence from China by Junqiang Luo, Weijing Ma, Shuang An, Zining Zhang, Yanchuan Fu, Hejun Huang, Genying Chang

“…Low-coordination cities are mainly found in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the border areas of Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Hubei, the Hetao area of the Yellow River Basin, the agricultural regions of the Huanghuaihai Plain, and the southeastern hilly and mountainous areas. (2) The degree of uneven urbanization development initially expands and then contracts, with intra-regional imbalances following the pattern: “Eastern Coastal Area > Northeast Area > Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Area > Northern Coastal Area > Middle Reaches of the Yellow River Area > Southwest Area > Southern Coastal Area > Northwest Area.” (3) The coupling and coordinated development of urbanization is closely related to the economic foundation and production energy usage. …”

Sexe on-line. Animateurs, clients et production de scénarios sexuels by Elena Stoian

“…The relationships are read as discourses, mobilising some conventional sexual scripts, set in a temporality which extends into the virtual order the organisation of the so-called “real” exchanges (excitement, plateau, orgasm, resolution). And by taking hold of the techniques used by the protagonists to produce and organise such exchanges – from the consumer’s as well as the professional moderator’s point of view – the article equates erotic dialogue to sexual work, in which meaning can be found, by combining conversation analysis and sexual scripts theory.…”

Les dés sont jetés ! by Pascale Dollfus

“…Echoing Philippe Sagant’s published writings on play and games, this article shines a light on dice throwing (and its dual language) as practiced today among the nomadic herdsmen of Ladakh, on the fringes of the Tibetan plateau. On these highlands, throwing dice—a gesture always accompanied by equivocal phrases, either murmured to shouted—is not only a method of divination, a pastime or a money game, but also the means of making all decisions relating to the smooth running of the community: choosing the headman and his assistants, dividing up pastures, choosing the men sent to fetch stray animals, etc. …”
