This book was released on 1975-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans l'Occident capitaliste, la croissance économique, menacée dans ses sources, contestée dans ses moyens, exhibe fièrement ses résultats matériels. Or, elle n'élève le niveau de vie qu'en accentuant les inégalités, ne modifie le genre de vie qu'en multipliant frustrations et revendications. Elle prive l'homme de pouvoirs réels, tout en l'accablant de besoins factices. À mesure que s'affirme la puissance technique et économique, se nie sa signification humaine et culturelle. Toutefois, au lieu de s'en tenir au plan de la constatation empirique des effets, ou à celui – polémique - des récriminations, ce livre, à la fois synthétique et précis, s'attache à l'analyse scientifique des causes et des structures de la croissance, qu'actionne et finalise la logique de tel ou tel mode de production. Parce qu'elle est fondamentalement politique, cette logique peut convertir la force des choses en projet humain, dialectiser leurs rapports, pour autant du moins que l'économique socialement maîtrisé cesse de dicter à la culture ses fins, pour lui fournir des moyens. C'est là l'enjeu de la pratique politique, enjeu qui se mondialise et se régionalise à la fois, et qui affecte tous les aspects de la quotidienneté. Enjeu complexe, et dramatique : la fin du siècle peut assister à un nouveau développement de l'homme, ou à sa destruction.

Download or read book La place du d sordre written by Raymond Boudon and published by . This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Mon objectif n'est pas du tout de dresser un bilan ou un inventaire des théories du changement social, mais de faire apparaître certains points de méthode et de philosophie de la connaissance. " Par de nombreux exemples, ce livre illustre l'intérêt, pour l'analyse du changement social, de la perspective qualifiée d'" individualisme méthodologique ", selon laquelle les causes ultimes de tout phénomène social résident dans des actes, des croyances ou des attitudes individuelles. Si cette méthode est actuellement assez largement pratiquée et acceptée, elle a dû s'imposer contre des mouvements de pensée qui exercèrent une influence considérable sur les sciences sociales, tels le marxisme et le structuralisme. Outre l'importance de montrer qu le changement social est explicable, Raymond Boudon faisait apparaître, ceci dès1984 date de la première édition de ce livre, qu'il est imprévisible et que " la rigueur scientifique en matière d'analyse du changement social, suppose qu'on accepte de troquer l'ambition de prévoir et de prédire contre celle d'expliquer. "

Download or read book Nature and Society written by Philippe Descola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this book focus on the relationship between nature and society from a variety of theoretical and ethnographic perspectives. Their work draws upon recent developments in social theory, biology, ethnobiology, epistemology, sociology of science, and a wide array of ethnographic case studies -- from Amazonia, the Solomon Islands, Malaysia, the Mollucan Islands, rural comunities from Japan and north-west Europe, urban Greece, and laboratories of molecular biology and high-energy physics. The discussion is divided into three parts, emphasising the problems posed by the nature-culture dualism, some misguided attempts to respond to these problems, and potential avenues out of the current dilemmas of ecological discourse.
Download or read book Challenging Climate Change written by Arne Wossink and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, climate change has been an important driving force behind human behaviour. This archaeological study seeks to understand the complex interrelations between that behaviour and climatic fluctuations, focussing on how climate affected the social relations between neighbouring communities of occasionally differing nature. It is argued that developments in these relations will fall within a continuum between competition on one end and cooperation on the other. The adoption of a particular strategy depends on whether that strategy is advantageous to a community in terms of the maintenance of its well-being when faced with adverse climate change. This model will be applied to northern Mesopotamia between 3000 and 1600 BC. Local palaeoclimate proxy records demonstrate that aridity increased significantly during this period. Within this geographical, chronological, and climatic framework, this study looks at changes in settlement patterns as an indication of competition among sedentary agriculturalist communities, and the development of the Amorite ethnic identity as reflecting cooperation among sedentary and more mobile pastoralist communities.
Download or read book Terra 2008 written by Leslie Rainer and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
Download or read book The Mediterranean region under climate change written by Collectif and published by IRD Éditions. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.
