Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quel est le fondement du lien social ? La réponse à cette question doit être cherchée au coeur du domaine de l'éthique, dans ce que nous appelons la responsabilité.¦Aboutissement d'un processus d'apprentissage auquel participent les nombreuses institutions qui, comme la famille, assurent la socialisation, la responsabilité constitute la spécificité de l'activité et des relations humaines et sociales.¦C'es elle qui permet de comprendre que nous sommes fiers de nos réussites... honteux ou désespérés de nos échecs. C'es elle qui justifie les scrupules que nous pouvons avoir à l'égard d'autrui, l'indignation que nous éprouvons face à la souffrance ou encore l'attachement qui nous lie à nos proches... Mais c'est aussi à elle qu'en appellera la justice pour évaluer et sanctionner nos fautes...¦Prenant d'abord ses distances par rapport aux grandes approches sociologiques de l'activité morale, l'auteur montre ensuite comment s'opère l'apprentissage social de la responsabilité et comment naissent les grandes valeurs (équité, respect, sincérité, autonomie,...) qui structurent les engagements et les débats éthiques. Il évoque enfin les risques qui menacent aujourd'hui la responsabilité.¦Au travers de ce livre, J.L. Genard tente de relaver le défi épistémologique auquel l'actuel retour de la réflexion éthique confronte la pensée sociologique.

Download or read book Confinement Punishment and Prisons in Africa written by Marie Morelle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume presents a nuanced critique of the prison experience in diverse detention facilities across Africa. The book stresses the contingent, porous nature of African prisons, across both time and space. It draws on original long-term ethnographic research undertaken in both Francophone and Anglophone settings, which are grouped in four parts. The first part examines how the prison has imprinted itself on wider political and social imaginaries and, in turn, how structures of imprisonment carry the imprint of political action of various times. The second part stresses how particular forms of ordering emerge in African prisons. It is held that while these often involve coercion and neglect, they are better understood as the product of on-going negotiations and the search for meaning and value on the part of a multitude of actors. The third part is concerned with how prison life percolates beyond its physical perimeters into its urban and rural surroundings, and vice versa. It deals with the popular and contested nature of what prisons are about and what they do, especially in regard to bringing about moral subjects. The fourth and final part of the book examines how efforts of reforming and resisting the prison take shape at the intersection of globally circulating models of good governance and levels of self-organisation by prisoners. The book will be an essential reference for students, academics and policy-makers in Law, Criminology, Sociology and Politics.

Download or read book Police Abuse in Contemporary Democracies written by Michelle D. Bonner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a much-needed analysis of police abuse and its implications for our understanding of democracy. Sometimes referred to as police violence or police repression, police abuse occurs in all democracies. It is not an exception or a stage of democratization. It is, this volume argues, a structural and conceptual dimension of extant democracies. The book draws our attention to how including the study of policing into our analyses strengthens our understanding of democracy, including the persistence of hybrid democracy and the decline of democracy. To this end, the book examines three key dimensions of democracy: citizenship, accountability, and socioeconomic (in)equality. Drawing from political theory, comparative politics, and political economy, the book explores cases from France, the US, India, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Brazil, and Canada, and reveals how integrating police abuse can contribute to a more robust study of democracy and government in general.

Download or read book Everyday Resistance written by Bruno Frère and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies those who, in various domains of life, are resisting the increasingly harsh day-to-day pressures of “late capitalism,” centering mainly on French examples. Far from the global euphoria of the sixties and seventies, everyday people are trying to loosen the grip of injustice in very concrete ways: people experiencing homelessness try to occupy and live in empty buildings; collectives of small farmers and consumers avoid long (and costly) commercial supply chains to defend their common interests; students and teachers organize to prevent the expulsion of undocumented migrants; and activists in the free software movement fight for the “common ownership” of software and of the Internet. Through civil disobedience in the midst of daily life, people are trying to resist, work against, and change laws that protect the interests of firms and corporations considered socially or ecologically unfair.

Download or read book The Body in French Queer Thought from Wittig to Preciado written by Elliot Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Body in French Queer Thought from Wittig to Preciado: Queer Permeability identifies a common concern in French queer works for the materiality of the body, arguing for a return to the body as fundamental to queer thought and politics, from HIV onwards. The emergence of queer theory in France offers an opportunity to re-evaluate the state of queer thought more widely: what matters to queer theory today? The energy of queer thinking in France – grounded in activist groups and galvanised by recent hostility towards same-sex marriage and gay parenting – has reignited queer debates. Examining Paul B. Preciado’s experimentation with theory and pharmaceutical testosterone; Monique Wittig’s exploration of the body through radically innovative language; and, finally, the surgical performances of French artist ORLAN’s ‘Art Charnel’, this book asks how we are able to account for the material body in philosophy, literature, and visual image. This is an important work for academics and students in French studies, in Anglophone queer studies, gender and sexuality studies and transgender studies, and will have significant interest for specialists of cultural translation and visual art and culture.
Download or read book The Levinas Reader written by Sean Hand and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2001-02-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emmanuel Levinas has been Professor of Philosophy at the Sorbonne and the director of the Ecole Normale Israelite Orientale. Through such works as "Totality and Infinity" and "Otherwise than Being", he has exerted a profound influence on twentieth-century continental philosophy, providing inspiration for Derrida, Lyotard, Blanchot and Irigaray. "The Levinas Reader" collects, often for the first time in English, essays by Levinas encompassing every aspect of his thought: the early phenomenological studies written under the guidance and inspiration of Husserl and Heidegger; the fully developed ethical critique of such totalizing philosophies; the pioneering texts on the moral dimension to aesthetics; the rich and subtle readings of the Talmud which are an exemplary model of an ethical, transcendental philosophy at work; the admirable meditations on current political issues. Sean Hand's introduction gives a complete overview of Levinas's work and situates each chapter within his general contribution to phenomenology, aesthetics, religion, politics and, above all, ethics. Each essay has been prefaced with a brief introduction presenting the basic issues and the necessary background, and suggesting ways to study the text further.
Download or read book Human and Organisational Factors written by Benoît Journé and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book addresses several questions regarding the implementation of human and organisational factors (HOF) so that recent improvements in industrial safety can be built upon. It addresses sources of frustration in senior management with high expectations of operational recommendations and disquiet on the part of HOF specialists struggling to have an impact on high-level decision making. The brief explores these issues with an emphasis on examples and lessons learned based on the experience of its authors, who come from different academic disciplines and various industrial sectors such as oil and gas, energy and transportation. It then offers some ways forward for a better consideration of HOF in hazardous companies with a view of promoting safety and facing challenges in a rapidly changing world.
