Book excerpt: Véritable essai d’histoire transnationale du handicap, cet ouvrage reconstitue la genèse et le développement des politiques internationales du handicap au cours du xxe siècle. Il met au jour les premières actions développées au cours de l’entre-deux-guerres par les institutions intergouvernementales (OIT, SDN, OH) en faveur de certaines catégories d’infirmes (mutilés de guerre, accidentés du travail, aveugles), puis l’unification des politiques de réadaptation des « handicapés » sous l’égide de l’ONU après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dégageant les enjeux géopolitiques liés à la guerre froide, il montre comment l’ONU, l’OIT et l’OMS promeuvent au début des années 1950 un projet de modernisation de la réadaptation qui s’inspire des expériences des pays anglo-saxons et nordiques, légitimant l’insertion professionnelle des personnes handicapées selon des principes libéraux. L’ouvrage cerne les mécanismes et les limites de l’internationalisation de ce projet de modernisation de la réadaptation, à travers trois pays (Argentine, Brésil, Espagne) ayant bénéficié de l’assistance technique de l’ONU, de l’OIT et de l’OMS dans le domaine de la réadaptation entre 1956 et 1959. Des experts internationaux sont alors missionnés dans ces trois pays pour promouvoir des politiques de réadaptation inspirées des expériences des pays anglo-saxons et nordiques.

Book excerpt: « À la suite de leurs recherches menées dans le cadre de Cemaforre, Centre national de ressources pour l'accessibilité culturelle, les auteurs proposent cet essai, une première dans le domaine des sciences humaines, politiques et sociales. Il retrace les différentes formes de prise en compte des personnes handicapées et âgées en manque d'autonomie vis-à-vis du droit de participer librement à la vie culturelle. Il a nécessité l'identification et l'analyse des évènements clefs qui ont jalonné un demi-siècle d'histoire en France (1970-2020). Les auteurs y présentent les grandes lignes de force et les principales étapes qu'ils ont pu observer dans l'évolution des concepts, des politiques et des pratiques. Cet historique aide à mieux comprendre les origines des obstacles persistants sur les chemins vers l'effectivité des droits culturels de ces populations qui représentent en France près d'une dizaine de millions de citoyennes et citoyens. Il permet aussi de repérer les atouts dont nous disposons pour poursuivre et engager les travaux indispensables à la réalisation d'avancées significatives. Cet ouvrage nous éclaire aussi sur notre société ainsi que sur les prises de conscience nécessaires à la construction d'un avenir plus respectueux de la citoyenneté culturelle de chacun. »--

Download or read book L histoire politique du handicap written by Pascal Doriguzzi and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 1994 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le vocable "handicapé" entre dans le champ politique comme catégorie de travailleur à l'ère de l'État Providence. Il représente un statut social et professionnel précisé par des textes législatifs et des prises de positions politiques. L'enfance du handicap commence pendant le premier conflit mondial, avec le rapport du travailleur "mutilé" et du travailleur industriel. "Infirme", "invalide", "mutilé", "handicapé", ces mots que nous employons spontanément ont une histoire inséparable de celle de la société qui a opéré ces caractérisations, esquissé ces définitions, ces classements, ces étiquetages.

Book excerpt: Cet important volume constitue la première étude consacrée à une réflexion d'ensemble sur l'histoire du handicap. Bien plus qu'une présentation académique des recherches fragmentaires déjà réalisées, l'auteur propose une grille de lecture définissant à la fois les notions et montrant leur évolution au cours de l'histoire. Les jeunes handicapés forment un groupe tout à fait hétérogène que la famille, l'école ordinaire ou l'hôpital ont du mal à accepter : ils désespèrent leur famille, l'école les trouve trop peu normaux, l'hôpital ne les trouve pas assez malades et ceci depuis plus de cent ans. Ainsi l'histoire sociale des enfants déficients s'inscrit dans la sémantique de ce qui les qualifie : idiotie, arriération, anormalité, délinquance, infirmité, inadaptation, déficience, handicap. Mais, appliqué aux enfants, le terme de handicap avec ses connotations de droit et de gestion vient effacer la dimension clinique des inadaptations de l'enfant, fruit d'une longue élaboration scientifique, indissociable de l'histoire de la psychiatrie et de la psychologie de l'enfant. Cette histoire du handicap met en perspective l'évolution d'une volonté de savoir qui appartient à la constitution du champ scientifique de quatre disciplines de base : médecine, psychiatrie, psychologie, pédagogie en perpétuel mouvement et remaniement au gré des progrès scientifiques internes de chacune de ces disciplines et contingents de l'évolution sociale. A l'heure de la réforme de la loi sociale de 1975 où s'affrontent deux systèmes de légitimation du pouvoir, celui issu du monde politique et celui du mouvement associatif, l'auteur apporte un éclairage indispensable à la compréhension des enjeux scientifiques et politiques.
Download or read book A History of Disability written by Henri-Jacques Stiker and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to attempt to provide a framework for analyzing disability through the ages, Henri-Jacques Stiker's now classic A History of Disability traces the history of western cultural responses to disability, from ancient times to the present. The sweep of the volume is broad; from a rereading and reinterpretation of the Oedipus myth to legislation regarding disability, Stiker proposes an analytical history that demonstrates how societies reveal themselves through their attitudes towards disability in unexpected ways. Through this history, Stiker examines a fundamental issue in contemporary Western discourse on disability: the cultural assumption that equality/sameness/similarity is always desired by those in society. He highlights the consequences of such a mindset, illustrating the intolerance of diversity and individualism that arises from placing such importance on equality. Working against this thinking, Stiker argues that difference is not only acceptable, but that it is desirable, and necessary. This new edition of the classic volume features a new foreword by David T. Mitchell and Sharon L. Snyder that assesses the impact of Stiker’s history on Disability Studies and beyond, twenty years after the book’s translation into English. The book will be of interest to scholars of disability, historians, social scientists, cultural anthropologists, and those who are intrigued by the role that culture plays in the development of language and thought surrounding people with disabilities.
Download or read book Praisesong for the Widow written by Paule Marshall and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1984-04-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Daughters and Brown Girl, Brownstones comes a “work of exceptional wisdom, maturity, and generosity, one in which the palpable humanity of its characters transcends any considerations of race or sex”(Washington Post Book World). Avey Johnson—a black, middle-aged, middle-class widow given to hats, gloves, and pearls—has long since put behind her the Harlem of her childhood. Then on a cruise to the Caribbean with two friends, inspired by a troubling dream, she senses her life beginning to unravel—and in a panic packs her bag in the middle of the night and abandons her friends at the next port of call. The unexpected and beautiful adventure that follows provides Avey with the links to the culture and history she has so long disavowed. “Astonishingly moving.”—Anne Tyler, The New York Times Book Review
Download or read book Pr cis of the Lectures on Architecture written by Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand (1760–1834) regarded the Précis of the Lectures on Architecture (1802–5) and its companion volume, the Graphic Portion (1821), as both a basic course for future civil engineers and a treatise. Focusing the practice of architecture on utilitarian and economic values, he assailed the rationale behind classical architectural training: beauty, proportionality, and symbolism. His formal systematization of plans, elevations, and sections transformed architectural design into a selective modular typology in which symmetry and simple geometrical forms prevailed. His emphasis on pragmatic values, to the exclusion of metaphysical concerns, represented architecture as a closed system that subjected its own formal language to logical processes. Now published in English for the first time, the Précis and the Graphic Portion are classics of architectural education.

This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Book excerpt: SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Download or read book Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.
Download or read book The Power of Creative Destruction written by Philippe Aghion and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the world’s leading economists and his coauthors, a cutting-edge analysis of what drives economic growth and a blueprint for prosperity under capitalism. Crisis seems to follow crisis. Inequality is rising, growth is stagnant, the environment is suffering, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed every crack in the system. We hear more and more calls for radical change, even the overthrow of capitalism. But the answer to our problems is not revolution. The answer is to create a better capitalism by understanding and harnessing the power of creative destruction—innovation that disrupts, but that over the past two hundred years has also lifted societies to previously unimagined prosperity. To explain, Philippe Aghion, Céline Antonin, and Simon Bunel draw on cutting-edge theory and evidence to examine today’s most fundamental economic questions, including the roots of growth and inequality, competition and globalization, the determinants of health and happiness, technological revolutions, secular stagnation, middle-income traps, climate change, and how to recover from economic shocks. They show that we owe our modern standard of living to innovations enabled by free-market capitalism. But we also need state intervention with the appropriate checks and balances to simultaneously foster ongoing economic creativity, manage the social disruption that innovation leaves in its wake, and ensure that yesterday’s superstar innovators don’t pull the ladder up after them to thwart tomorrow’s. A powerful and ambitious reappraisal of the foundations of economic success and a blueprint for change, The Power of Creative Destruction shows that a fair and prosperous future is ultimately ours to make.
