Book excerpt: " La bonne soussoupe ! Qui veut de la bonne soussoupe ! " Chaque hiver, les soupes populaires resurgissent. Chacun côtoie ce phénomène par écrans médiatiques interposés, par l'éphémère apparition d'une masse opaque d'individus occupant chaque soir les espaces publics attitrés. Le spectre de la pauvreté saisit le corps social. Anonymes (dons), bénévoles se précipitent pour faire acte de charité. Pendant trois hivers, Christelle a partagé " la soupe " en tant que bénéficiaire. Ce livre restitue la parole, les gestes, les ressentis de ces individus. Il analyse leurs rites, leurs codes de reconnaissance, leurs histoires, leur organisation sociale. Le rituel des soupes populaires permet de saisir la place, la fonction et l'utilité du pauvre au sein de la structure sociale. l'existence pérenne de cette catégorie prend sens par l'étude du don alimentaire du Moyen Age à nos jours. Elle révèle qu'à chaque époque la société produit et gère " ses pauvres ", justifiant leur place par un discours idéologique. Le pauvre, loin d'être le fruit d'un dysfonctionnement socio-économique, a sa place, sa fonction et fait partie intégrante du rapport social. Cet ouvrage offre aux professionnels et aux bénévoles du secteur social des éléments de réflexion quant à la relation établie avec cette population et au sens de leur action. Les étudiants trouveront un outil de travail pour une approche de terrain qualitative. Enfin, ce livre concerne toute personne, en tant qu'acteur social responsable, citoyen et politique ; et tout simplement en tant qu'être humain soucieux de comprendre la permanence du phénomène de la pauvreté afin de lui donner une dimension réellement humaine.

Book excerpt: Un livre sur la pauvreté... Entre ces enfants effarés pétris de froid et de faim rongés de vermine au XVIIIe siècle et le délaissé des métropoles modernes, entre la fille simple sur laquelle se penche le philosophe au XIXe et le démuni du XXIe siècle écrivant sa dernière lettre, entre la quotidienneté silencieuse de chômeurs trahis et l'intimité écorchée de l'alcoolique, la pauvreté insiste scandaleuse en ne suscitant d'abord qu'un léger tremblement de nos évidences. On trouvera ici quatre tentatives d'écriture pour approcher singulièrement la souffrance des humbles et la violence qui leur est faite. Souffrances et violences tues que, chacun à notre manière, historienne, écrivain, sociologues, nous avons cherché à dire, non, parce que nous en serions les porte-parole, mais parce que nous avons pensé qu'elles désignaient des échecs, des dénis, des contradictions qui sont du ressort et de la responsabilité de tous - autrement dit collective.

Download or read book Social Differentiation written by Danielle Juteau Lee and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Differentiation examines the economic, political, and normatively defined relations that underlie the construction of social categories. Social differentiation, embedded in inequalities of power, status, wealth, and prestige, affects life chances of individuals as well as the allocation of resources and opportunities. Starting with a theoretical framework that challenges many traditional analyses, the contributors focus on four specific strands of social differentiation: gender, age, race/ethnicity, and locality. They explore the historically specific social practices, policies, and ideologies that produce distinct forms of inequality, in turn revealing and explaining such issues as the formation and maintenance of a gendered order; the privileging of prime-age workers; the penalties incurred by visible minorities in the labour market; the highly disadvantaged position of Aboriginals; and the economic decline of agriculture, resource, and fishing dependent regions. By paying special attention to political processes, norms, and representations, and by indicating how social policies shape economic functioning and relate to normative definitions, this book will interest policy-oriented researchers and decision-makers.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le 20e siècle semble traîner derrière lui des valeurs et des réalités qu’il pensait combattre à jamais. Inégalité et pauvreté n’étaient déjà pas, plus, envisageables depuis au moins deux siècles et le Royaume-Uni semblait porter les espoirs de cette ère nouvelle. Depuis 1942, d’aucuns affirment que le procès richesse-inégalité-pauvreté est un des plus stables du pays. Qu’en-est-il au juste ? Le recueil bilingue (anglais-français) apporte sa contribution au débat.

Download or read book Eradicating Extreme Poverty written by Xavier Godinot and published by Pluto Press. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failure of attempts to tackle global poverty have bred cynicism and "compassion fatigue." Eradicating Extreme Poverty provides an urgently needed fresh approach which will re-energize action on this issue. Rejecting traditional "top-down" approaches, Xavier Godinot starts from the experiences, capabilities, and strategies of the poor themselves. He argues that the first step is a close connection with poor communities followed by a commitment to take action alongside them. Life-stories from Burkina Faso, France, Peru, and the Philippines are used to show that the poor must be involved in their own liberation. After decades of failed development policies, this book outlines a radical new approach which will enliven debate amongst policy-makers, researchers, students, and academics.

Download or read book Vice Crime and Poverty written by Dominique Kalifa and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beggars, outcasts, urchins, waifs, prostitutes, criminals, convicts, madmen, fallen women, lunatics, degenerates—part reality, part fantasy, these are the grotesque faces that populate the underworld, the dark inverse of our everyday world. Lurking in the mirror that we hold up to our society, they are our counterparts and our doubles, repelling us and yet offering the tantalizing promise of escape. Although these images testify to undeniable social realities, the sordid lower depths make up a symbolic and social imaginary that reflects our fears and anxieties—as well as our desires. In Vice, Crime, and Poverty, Dominique Kalifa traces the untold history of the concept of the underworld and its representations in popular culture. He examines how the myth of the lower depths came into being in nineteenth-century Europe, as biblical figures and Christian traditions were adapted for a world turned upside-down by the era of industrialization, democratization, and mass culture. From the Parisian demimonde to Victorian squalor, from the slums of New York to the sewers of Buenos Aires, Kalifa deciphers the making of an image that has cast an enduring spell on its audience. While the social conditions that created that underworld have changed, Vice, Crime, and Poverty shows that, from social-scientific ideas of the underclass to contemporary cinema and steampunk culture, its shadows continue to haunt us.

Download or read book Canada s Changing Families written by Kevin McQuillan and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, two significant trends have had a substantial impact on Canadian families. First, Canadian families have been dramatically altered by high rates of separation and divorce, declining fertility, greater popularity of alternative family arrangements such as cohabitation, and increasing involvement of women in paid labour. Second, changes occurring in the economy and the larger society have brought new pressures to bear on families. In Canada's Changing Families, editors Kevin McQuillan and Zenaida R. Ravenera explore how these developments have altered family life. Using data collected in recent surveys by Statistics Canada, contributors to this volume illustrate how transformed conditions in the labour market have forced families to alter their routines and the division of responsibilities within the household. At the same time, the government, striving to maintain or increase the competitive position of the economy, has moved to control spending, restrain taxes, and reduce deficits. The result has been new demands on the family to provide or supplement services that might otherwise be provided by the state. Canada's Changing Families is an eye-opening study and one of great contemporary relevance.
Download or read book The Changing Face of African Literature Les nouveaux visages de la litt rature africaine written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Changing Face of African Literature combines both the large picture – a synopsis of current trends in African literature – and the small: studies of individual texts and of themes across several texts. The large and the small are linked by recurring themes, such as gender and sexuality, the nation-state and its collapse, AIDS, war, and suffering. The volume is comparative, bringing together literature in at least five languages and from at least ten national literatures. Such a large, comparative frame is implied by most discussion of African literature but is too seldom seen. At the same time, the collection also problematizes the comparison: the goal is to make clear what African literatures have in common but also where they diverge. What difference do distinct literary traditions, readerships, and publishing patterns make to literatures which share a common thematic and so many of the same questions and needs? By juxtaposing contemporary texts form several traditions, the intention of this collection is to bring out the themes that are currently dominant in African literatures generally. After a preface by Liz Gunner and a wide-ranging introduction by the editors, the collection presents keynote essays on new paradigms in African literature, before treating specific themes – recent crime fiction, the Afrikaans and anglophone novel, feminist literature, ‘migritude’ – and studies of recent works by individual authors such as André Brink, Henri Djombo, Pie Tshibanda, Bessora, Nadine Gordimer, and Paulina Chiziane, as well as the South African television series Yizo Yizo.
