  • ISBN : 9780813918235
  • Pages : 260 pages

Download or read book Mad Travelers written by Ian Hacking and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It all began one morning last July when we noticed a young man of twenty-six crying in his bed in Dr. Pitre's ward. He had just come from a long journey on foot and was exhausted, but that was not the cause of his tears. He wept because he could not prevent himself from departing on a trip when the need took him; he deserted family, work, and daily life to walk as fast as he could, straight ahead, sometimes doing 70 kilometers a day on foot, until in the end he would be arrested for vagrancy and thrown in prison." --Dr. Philippe Tissie, July 1886 Thus begins the recorded case history of Albert Dadas, a native of France's Bordeaux region and the first diagnosed mad traveler, or fuguer. An occasional employee of a local gas company, Dadas suffered from a strange compulsion that led him to travel obsessively, often without identification, not knowing who he was or why he traveled. He became notorious for his extraordinary expeditions to such far-reaching spots as Algeria, Moscow, and Constantinople. Medical reports of Dadas set off at the time of a small epidemic of compulsive mad voyagers, the epicenter of which was Bordeaux, but which soon spread throughout France to Italy, Germany, and Russia. Today we are similarly besieged by mental illnesses of the moment, such as chronic fatigue syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The debate rages about which of these conditions are affectations or cultural artifacts and which are "real." In Mad Travelers, Ian Hacking uses the Dadas case to weigh the legitimacy of cultural influences versus physical symptoms in the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. He argues that psychological symptoms find stable homes at a given place and time, in "ecological niches" where transient illnesses flourish. Using the records of Dadas's physician, Philippe Tissie, Hacking attempts to make sense of this strange epidemic. While telling his fascinating tale, he raises probing questions about the nature of mental disorders, the cultural repercussions of their diagnosis, and the relevance of this century-old case study for today's overanalyzed society.

Book Ethics and Sport in Europe

Download or read book Ethics and Sport in Europe written by Dominique Bodin and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defending ethics in sport is vital in order to combat the problems of corruption, violence, drugs, extremism and other forms of discrimination it is currently facing. Sport reflects nothing more and nothing less than the societies in which it takes place. However, if sport is to continue to bring benefits for individuals and societies, it cannot afford to neglect its ethical values or ignore these scourges. The major role of the Council of Europe and the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) in addressing the new challenges to sports ethics was confirmed by the 11th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for Sport, held in Athens on 11 and 12 December 2008. A political impetus was given on 16 June 2010 by the Committee of Ministers, with the adoption of an updated version of the Code of Sports Ethics (Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)9), emphasising the requisite co-ordination between governments and sports organisations. The EPAS prepared the ministerial conference and stepped up its work in an international conference organised with the University of Rennes, which was attended by political leaders, athletes, researchers and officials from the voluntary sector. The key experiences described in the conference and the thoughts that it prompted are described in this publication. All the writers share the concern that the end result should be practical action - particularly in terms of the setting of standards - that falls within the remit of the EPAS and promotes the Council of Europe's core values.

Book Arch  ologie de l   ducation physique au XX  me si  cle en France

Download or read book Arch ologie de l ducation physique au XX me si cle en France written by Jacques Gleyse and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2006 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archéologie de l'éducation physique au XXème siècle en France Le corps occulté L'archéologie dans sa définition habituelle tente de reconstituer une civilisation ou des éléments de civilisation à partir de vestiges matériels découverts, généralement, au cours de fouilles. L'archéologie foucaldienne et spécifiquement l'archéologie des discours, utilise la même méthode pour ce qui concerne des textes et des écrits en général. En 1969, Michel Foucault a tenté de formaliser cette méthode dans L'Archéologie du savoir. Il affirmait, là, que d'autres archéologies que celles réalisées précédemment par lui dans Histoire de la folie (1962) ou dans Les Mots et les choses (1966) étaient possibles. Il anticipait sans doute ainsi sur l'écriture de Surveiller et punir (1975). D'une certaine manière, cet ouvrage répond, post mortem, à son souhait en appliquant cette méthode à l'Education Physique et sportive de l'enseignement secondaire en France. Il met en évidence, à la fois, la porosité du discours de cette discipline (aux deux sens du terme) scolaire à d'autres discours, notamment le monde du travail et de l'Ecole, finalement même son isomorphisme avec ces deux autres discours, mais aussi son système de micro-pouvoir (bio pouvoir ?) ainsi que sa constitution sur trois strates archéologiques majeures : le mécanisme, l'énergétique, l'information. Cet ouvrage se situe donc comme outil d'analyse d'un micro-pouvoir et d'un discours, mais, également, de manière plus pragmatique, comme un outil de formation pour les écrits I de CAPEPS, d'agrégation interne et d'agrégation externe d'Education Physique et sportive.
