This book was released on 1996-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Déontologie : sans doute le thème est-il d'actualité... Non qu'hier la "science des devoirs" n'intéressait pas, mais les fonctionnaires territoriaux étaient plus préoccupés par le développement local, et par les crises de croissance de notre jeune décentralisation. Les fractures sociales, les individualismes forcenés, les difficultés rencontrées dans la relation complexe élus-cadres, l'incertitude de l'environnement juridique, nous contraignent aujourd'hui à aller plus loin. Tant mieux si nous contribuons ainsi à reparler de l'éthique républicaine, de la vertu de l'action publique, du droit et des devoirs. Comprendre et clarifier les compétences et responsabilités des cadres dirigeants des collectivités territoriales ; ajuster à nos missions les trois grands principes déontologiques de loyauté, probité, modestie ; proposer d'approfondir, avec les devoirs de clarté, de responsabilité, et une déontologie du service public, voilà les chantiers ouverts par cet ouvrage. Mais que personne ne se trompe sur le fond, ou sur mes intentions. Ce travail, en n'engageant que moi, n'a la prétention ni de donner la leçon, ni de faire la morale ! Ce n'est que la contribution du directeur général des services d'une ville, militant du développement local et du service public, acteur de la construction inachevée de la décentralisation. Certains pourront s'y retrouver. Tant mieux ! Que les bonnes idées soient reprises, les mauvaises oubliées... Surtout que ces réflexions permettent - individuellement ou collectivement - de remobiliser mes collègues, souvent déconcertés par le nouvel environnement juridique, économique, et social de nos collectivités. Qu'ainsi, les acteurs publics, quelles que soient leurs places, acceptent de se laisser interroger, interpeller sur la place et le rôle de chacun, et la nécessaire consolidation du socle élu-technicien qui, seul, permettra de construire durablement la décentralisation, que nous avons tous appelée de nos vœux. Patrick Jouin, administrateur territorial, secrétaire général de la commune de La Roche-sur-Yon

Download or read book D ontologie des lus et des fonctionnaires territoriaux written by Vincent Potier and published by Le Moniteur. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le champ de l'action publique, la déontologie peut être définie comme l'ensemble des principes qui guident les comportements des acteurs publics, qu'ils soient fonctionnaires ou élus. Les règles déontologiques en la matière reposent sur des dispositions normatives issues de lois, de règlements et de l'interprétation jurisprudentielle tirée notamment de grands principes constitutionnels. Ainsi opposables à tout agent public, leur violation est susceptible d'être sanctionnée, dans le cadre d'une procédure disciplinaire, à l'appui d'un contentieux administratif voire d'une sanction pénale. Ce guide fait le point sur les règles que les élus locaux et les fonctionnaires territoriaux se doivent moralement de respecter : il décrypte les grands principes déontologiques sur lesquels doit reposer l'action publique et analyse les cas concrets où il convient de les appliquer ; il analyse les obligations incombant aux fonctionnaires territoriaux et aux élus locaux puis expose les responsabilités qui peuvent être engagées ; - enfin, il propose des moyens de prévenir les conflits de valeurs. Cet ouvrage contribue à doter la fonction publique territoriale de repères déontologiques unifiés, fiables et pragmatiques, en attendant le vote de la future loi relative à la déontologie et aux droits et obligations des fonctionnaires, dont l'ensemble du projet actuel est exposé au fil des chapitres.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le modèle de service public à la française, à la fois armature de la vie sociale, socle de l'identité publique et vecteur de citoyenneté, suppose de la part des fonctionnaires territoriaux un sens aigu de la chose publique pour leur permettre de discerner le juste niveau de leurs responsabilités. Ecartelé entre les principes juridiques, la morale et l'exigence d'efficacité inhérente à toute organisation, le fonctionnaire territorial est, en quelque sorte, "victime d'un conflit de devoirs". Yves ABRAM et Vincent POTIER, à travers deux textes forts et engagés, reviennent sur ces notions qui font le quotidien de tous les personnels territoriaux. Alain ETCHEGOYEN, qui a préfacé l'ouvrage, explique pourquoi il faut aujourd'hui imposer un visage positif de la responsabilité. Michel DINET, Bernard POIGNANT, Christian PROUST et Jean PUECH font part avec franchise et conviction de leurs positions d'élus sur le sujet.

Download or read book Ontologies written by Raj Sharman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 952 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ontology, or the nature of being, has been a focal area of study in the philosophical disciplines for a long time. Interpreted simply, the term ontology refers to the question what kinds of things exist? to a philosopher, while a computer scientist grapples with the question what kinds of things should we capture and represent? Together, research on the two questions yield a broad framework for the analysis of a discourse universe, its representation in some abstract form and the development of organizations and systems within the universe. The philosophical perspective on ontology provides a description of the essential properties and relations of all beings in the universe, while this notion has been expanded as well as specialized in the fields of computer science and artificial intelligence. The AI/CS communities now use this notion to refer to not one but multiple ontologies. In the AI/CS perspective, an ontology refers to the specification of knowledge about entities, and their relationships and interactions in a bounded universe of discourse only. As a result, a number of bounded-universe ontologies have been created over the last decade. These include the Chemicals ontology in the chemistry area, the TOVE and Enterprise ontologies for enterprise modeling, the REA ontology in the accounting area, organizational knowledge ontology in the knowledge management area, an ontology of air campaign planning in the defense area, and the GALEN ontology in the medical informatics area."

Download or read book Changing Difference written by Catherine Malabou and published by Polity. This book was released on 2011-09-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated by CAROLYN SHREAD In the post-feminist age the fact that ‘woman' finds herself deprived of her ‘essence' only confirms, paradoxically, a very ancient state of affairs: ‘woman' has never been able to define herself in any other way than in terms of the violence done to her. Violence alone confers her being - whether it is domestic and social violence or theoretical violence. The critique of ‘essentialism' (i.e. there is no specifically feminine essence) proposed by both gender theory and deconstruction is just one more twist in the ontological negation of the feminine. Contrary to all expectations, however, this ever more radical hollowing out of woman within intellectual movements supposed to protect her, this assimilation of woman to a ‘being nothing', clears the way for a new beginning. Let us now assume the thought of ‘woman' as an empty but resistant essence, an essence that is resistant precisely because it is empty, a resistance that strikes down the impossibility of its own disappearance once and for all. To ask what remains of woman after the sacrifice of her being is to signal a new era in the feminist struggle, changing the terms of the battle to go beyond both essentialism and anti-essentialism. In this path-breaking work Catherine Malabou begins with philosophy, asking: what is the life of a woman philosopher?

Download or read book Biosocialities Genetics and the Social Sciences written by Sahra Gibbon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-07-20 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences explores the social, cultural and economic transformations that result from innovations in genomic knowledge and technology. This pioneering collection uses Paul Rabinow’s concept of biosociality to chart the shifts in social relations and ideas about nature, biology and identity brought about by developments in biomedicine. Based on new empirical research, it contains chapters on genomic research into embryonic stem cell therapy, breast cancer, autism, Parkinson’s and IVF treatment, as well as on the expectations and education surrounding genomic research. It covers four main themes: novel modes of identity and identification, such as genetic citizenship the role of institutions, ranging from disease advocacy organizations and voluntary organizations to the state the production of biological knowledge, novel life-forms, and technologies the generation of wealth and commercial interests in biology. Including an afterword by Paul Rabinow and case studies on the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India and Israel, this book is key reading for students and researchers of the new genetics and the social sciences – particularly medical sociologists, medical anthropologists and those involved with science and technology studies.

Download or read book Entangled Territorialities written by Françoise Dussart and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entangled Territorialities offers vivid ethnographic examples of how Indigenous lands in Australia and Canada are tangled with governments, industries, and mainstream society. Most of the entangled lands to which Indigenous peoples are connected have been physically transformed and their ecological balance destroyed. Each chapter in this volume refers to specific circumstances in which Indigenous peoples have become intertwined with non-Aboriginal institutions and projects including the construction of hydroelectric dams and open mining pits. Long after the agents of resource extraction have abandoned these lands to their fate, Indigenous peoples will continue to claim ancestral ties and responsibilities that cannot be understood by agents of capitalism. The editors and contributors to this volume develop an anthropology of entanglement to further examine the larger debates about the vexed relationships between settlers and indigenous peoples over the meaning, knowledge, and management of traditionally-owned lands.

Download or read book The Sociological Tradition written by Peretz Bernstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first published, The Sociological Tradition had a profound and positive impact on sociology, providing a rich sense of intellectual background to a relatively new discipline in America. Robert Nisbet describes what he considers the golden age of sociology, 1830-1900, outlining five major themes of nineteenth-century sociologists: community, authority, status, the sacred, and alienation. Nisbet focuses on sociology's European heritage, delineating the arguments of Tocqueville, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber in new and revealing ways.When the book initially appeared, the Times Literary Supplement noted that this thoughtful and lucid guide shows more clearly than any previous book on social thought the common threads in the sociological tradition and the reasons why so many of its central concepts have stood the test of time. And Lewis Coser, writing in the New York Times Book Review, claimed that this lucidly written and elegantly argued volume should go a long way toward laying to rest the still prevalent idea that sociology is an upstart discipline, unconcerned with, and alien to, the major intellectual currents of the modern world.Its clear and comprehensive analysis of the origins of this discipline ensures The Sociological Tradition a permanent place in the literature on sociology and its origins. It will be of interest to those interested in sociological theory, the history of social thought, and the history of ideas. Indeed, as Alasdair Maclntyre observed: We are unlikely to be given a better book to explain to us the inheritance of sociology from the conservative tradition.

Download or read book Facing Gaia written by Bruno Latour and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of modern sciences in the seventeenth century profoundly renewed our understanding of nature. For the last three centuries new ideas of nature have been continually developed by theology, politics, economics, and science, especially the sciences of the material world. The situation is even more unstable today, now that we have entered an ecological mutation of unprecedented scale. Some call it the Anthropocene, but it is best described as a new climatic regime. And a new regime it certainly is, since the many unexpected connections between human activity and the natural world oblige every one of us to reopen the earlier notions of nature and redistribute what had been packed inside. So the question now arises: what will replace the old ways of looking at nature? This book explores a potential candidate proposed by James Lovelock when he chose the name 'Gaia' for the fragile, complex system through which living phenomena modify the Earth. The fact that he was immediately misunderstood proves simply that his readers have tried to fit this new notion into an older frame, transforming Gaia into a single organism, a kind of giant thermostat, some sort of New Age goddess, or even divine Providence. In this series of lectures on 'natural religion,' Bruno Latour argues that the complex and ambiguous figure of Gaia offers, on the contrary, an ideal way to disentangle the ethical, political, theological, and scientific aspects of the now obsolete notion of nature. He lays the groundwork for a future collaboration among scientists, theologians, activists, and artists as they, and we, begin to adjust to the new climatic regime.

Download or read book Narratives of fear and safety written by Kaisa Kaukiainen and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this edited volume, written in English and French, tackle the intriguing problems of fear and safety by analysing their various meanings and manifestations in literature and other narrative media. The articles bring forth new, cross-cultural interpretations on fear and safety through examining what kinds of genre-specific means of world-making narratives use to express these two affectivities. The articles also show how important it is to study these themes in order to understand challenges in times of global threats, such as the climate crisis. The main themes of the book are approached from various theoretical perspectives as related to their literary and cultural representations. Recent trends in research, such as affect and risk theory, serve as the basis for the discussion. The articles in the volume also draw from disciplines such as gender studies and trauma studies to examine the threats posed by collective fears and aggression on individuals' lives and propose ways of coping with fear. These themes are addressed also in articles analysing new adaptations of old myths that retell stories of the past. Many of the articles in the volume discuss apocalyptic and dystopian narratives that currently permeate the entire cultural landscape. Dystopian narratives do not only deal with future threats, such as totalitarianism, technocracy, or environmental disasters, but also suggest alternative ways of being and new hopes in the form of political resistance.
