Book excerpt: Depuis la préhistoire, l'homme n'a cessé de vouloir connaître le futur et d'inventer des stratagèmes pour tenter de le maîtriser. N'était-ce pas déjà pour assurer la chasse du lendemain que nos lointains ancêtres représentaient des bisons percés de flèches sur les murs des cavernes? Des procédés de divination inventés par les peuples de l'Antiquité aux méthodes " scientifiques " mises au point par les prospectivistes de notre fin de siècle, les moyens de prédire l'avenir ne se ressemblent guère. Mais chaque époque a eu le besoin de faire des rêves d'avenir, pour le meilleur et pour le pire: il y a eu les faux prophètes du Moyen Age, le astrologues de la cour de la Renaissance, ou encore les diseuses de bonne aventure du Grand Siècle. Et les philosophes des Lumières ont tenté, à leur manière, de percer les grandes lignes du futur. Sans réussir à tuer l'irrationnel: magnétisme, somnambulisme et autres formes de spiritisme ont connu un succès croisant au XIXe siècle, tandis que surgissaient de nouveaux prophètes annonçant un monde meilleur. Oracles, prophéties, prédictions, utopies, toutes les anticipations que les hommes ont élaborées au fil des siècles ne se sont guère réalisées, mais elles sont les reflets de leurs espoirs et de leurs craintes. L'homme de 1900 se croyait à l'aube d'un siècle radieux. Celui de l'an 2000 n'y croit plus guère et, si les futuristes ne prétendent plus faire " métier de prophète ", astrologues et voyants continuent à rassurer, à défaut de prédire l'avenir. Georges Minois est professeur d'histoire et membre du Centre international de recherches et d'études transdisciplinaires. Il a publié de nombreuses études sur l'histoire des mentalités religieuses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaping Tomorrow’s World tells the crucial story of how futures studies developed in West Germany, Europe, the US and within global futures networks from the 1940s to the 1980s. It charts the emergence of different approaches and thought styles within the field ranging from Cold War defense intellectuals such as Herman Kahn to critical peace activists like Robert Jungk. Engaging with the challenges of the looming nuclear war, the changing phases of the Cold War, ‘1968’, and the growing importance of both the Global South and environmentalism, this book argues that futures scholars actively contributed to these processes of change. This multiple award-winning study combines national and transnational perspectives to present a unique history of envisioning, forecasting, and shaping the future.

Download or read book The Decisionist Imagination written by Daniel Bessner and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades following World War II, the science of decision-making moved from the periphery to the center of transatlantic thought. The Decisionist Imagination explores how “decisionism” emerged from its origins in prewar political theory to become an object of intense social scientific inquiry in the new intellectual and institutional landscapes of the postwar era. By bringing together scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, this volume illuminates how theories of decision shaped numerous techno-scientific aspects of modern governance—helping to explain, in short, how we arrived at where we are today.

Download or read book Educational Studies in the Light of the Feminine written by Christine Bouissou- Benavail and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the theory-practice couple, there are various ways to approach educational and training issues. Intervention research, reflexive situated action and innovation are some of them. Through the analysis of the author's various experiences - professional and initial training, support for change, organizational assessment, experiential learning, project management - this book explores questions about social or professional contexts and the subjective training of actors. One of the challenges is to understand and challenge phenomena such as the development of autonomy and subsidiarity in changing academic or academic contexts. The book promotes the emergence of an ethical and resilient subjectivity. It will show that storytelling is methodological resources for research-intervention paradigms, support the development of actors and stimulate mobility. The book introduces the hypothesis of an operational principle of the feminine as fluid gender, added value to the collective intelligences of the processes of transformation of education and teaching, in terms of intergenerational transmission and in terms of transferability and Strategic activation of skills between business sectors and intellectual fields. This praxeology reconsiders organizations, temporalities, frames of reference, relaunches a reflection in action at the heart of structuration-transformation projects in governance of public action, as well as in terms of personal and collective encapacitation. The reflection opens to questions of management of conflictualities and management of the subjective, epistemological and professional economies.

Download or read book History as a Profession written by Pim den Boer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a vivid portrait of the French historical profession in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, concluding just before the emergence of the famous Annales school of historians. It places the profession in its social, academic, and political context and shows that historians of the period have been unfairly maligned as amateurish and primitive in comparison to their more celebrated successors. Pim den Boer begins by sketching the contours of French historiography in the nineteenth century, examining the quantity of historical writing, its subject matter, and who wrote it. He traces the growing influence of professional historians. He shows the increasing involvement of the national government in historical studies, paying special attention to the impact of political factions, ranging from ultraroyalists to radical republicans. He explores how historical research and teaching changed at schools and universities. And he shows how nineteenth-century historians' keen understanding of the past and of historical methodology laid the foundations for historiography in the twentieth century. archives, including official documents, confidential reports, and personal letters. Den Boer makes use of statistical, biographical, and methodological analysis and demonstrates comprehensive knowledge of both minor historians and leading scholars, including Charles Seignobos and Charles-Victor Langlois.
