Download or read book Accounting for Taste written by Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French cuisine is such a staple in our understanding of fine food that we forget the accidents of history that led to its creation. Accounting for Taste brings these "accidents" to the surface, illuminating the magic of French cuisine and the mystery behind its historical development. Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson explains how the food of France became French cuisine. This momentous culinary journey begins with Ancien Régime cookbooks and ends with twenty-first-century cooking programs. It takes us from Carême, the "inventor" of modern French cuisine in the early nineteenth century, to top chefs today, such as Daniel Boulud and Jacques Pépin. Not a history of French cuisine, Accounting for Taste focuses on the people, places, and institutions that have made this cuisine what it is today: a privileged vehicle for national identity, a model of cultural ascendancy, and a pivotal site where practice and performance intersect. With sources as various as the novels of Balzac and Proust, interviews with contemporary chefs such as David Bouley and Charlie Trotter, and the film Babette's Feast, Ferguson maps the cultural field that structures culinary affairs in France and then exports its crucial ingredients. What's more, well beyond food, the intricate connections between cuisine and country, between local practice and national identity, illuminate the concept of culture itself. To Brillat-Savarin's famous dictum—"Animals fill themselves, people eat, intelligent people alone know how to eat"—Priscilla Ferguson adds, and Accounting for Taste shows, how the truly intelligent also know why they eat the way they do. “Parkhurst Ferguson has her nose in the right place, and an infectious lust for her subject that makes this trawl through the history and cultural significance of French food—from French Revolution to Babette’s Feast via Balzac’s suppers and Proust’s madeleines—a satisfying meal of varied courses.”—Ian Kelly, Times (UK)

Download or read book Weariness of the Self written by Alain Ehrenberg and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2010 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression, once a subfield of neurosis, has become the most diagnosed mental disorder in the world. Why and how has depression become such a topical illness and what does it tell us about changing ideas of the individual and society? Alain Ehrenberg investigates the history of depression and depressive symptoms across twentieth-century psychiatry, showing that identifying depression is far more difficult than a simple diagnostic distinction between normal and pathological sadness - the one constant in the history of depression is its changing definition. Drawing on the accumulated knowledge of a lifetime devoted to the study of the individual in modern democratic society, Ehrenberg shows that the phenomenon of modern depression is not a construction of the pharmaceutical industry but a pathology arising from inadequacy in a social context where success is attributed to, and expected of, the autonomous individual. In so doing, he provides both a novel and convincing description of the illness that clarifies the intertwining relationship between its diagnostic history and changes in social norms and values. The first book to offer both a global sociological view of contemporary depression and a detailed description of psychiatric reasoning and its transformation - from the invention of electroshock therapy to mass consumption of Prozac - The Weariness of the Self offers a compelling exploration of depression as social fact.

Download or read book Depersonalized Bullying at Work written by Premilla D'Cruz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book advances the nascent concept of depersonalized workplace bullying, highlighting its distinctive features, proposing a theoretical framework and making recommendations for intervention. Furthering insights into depersonalized bullying at work is critical due to the anticipated increased incidence of the phenomenon in the light of the competitive contemporary business economy, which complicates organizational survival. Drawing on two hermeneutic phenomenological inquiries set in India focusing on targets and bullies, the book evidences that depersonalized bullying is a sociostructural entity that resides in an organization’s structural, processual and contextual design. Enacted by supervisors and managers through the engagement of abusive and aggressive behaviours, depersonalized bullying is resorted to in the pursuit of competitive advantage as organizations seek to ensure their continuity and success. Given the instrumentalism associated with the world of work, targets and bullies encountering depersonalized bullying display largely ambivalent responses to their predicament. Ironically, then, organizations’ gains in terms of effectiveness are offset by the strains experienced by these protagonists. The theoretical generalizability of the findings reported in the book facilitates the development of an integrated framework of depersonalized workplace bullying, laying the foundations for forthcoming empirical and measurement endeavours that progress the concept. The book recognizes that whereas primary level interventions mandate repositioning the extra-organizational environment and/or recasting organizational goals to balance business and employee interests, secondary level and tertiary level interventions encompass various types of formal and informal social support to address targets’ and bullies’ interface with depersonalized bullying at work.

Download or read book Pr venir les risques psychosociaux written by Philippe Douillet and published by Editions Anact. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couv. indique : "Face aux risques psychosociaux (RPS), les entreprises ont mesuré les limites des approches de prévention centrées sur l'individu et sur des batteries d'indicateurs quantitatifs. Ce guide ouvre de nouvelles perspectives s'éloignant de la seule gestion des effets. Il propose de s'attaquer aux causes profondes des RPS : le travail et son organisation. Son ambition : aider à réduire la tension entre les contraintes et les ressources nécessaires pour réaliser un travail de qualité. Porter un tel objectif suppose de s'intéresser de près au travail et à ses conditions d'exercice. Il faut de la méthode et des outils. Ce guide permet de passer à la pratique. Il livre des outils innovants comme le modèle C2R d'analyse des risques psychosociaux ou encore les situations-problème pour identifier et comprendre les difficultés du travail, mais aussi dégager des marges de manoeuvre et d'amélioration. Ce guide fait aussi la part belle aux conditions du dialogue social et de la coopération entre les acteurs nécessaires sur le sujet des RPS. Sans ces deux piliers, bien des entreprises armées des meilleurs outils ont abandonné... Il faut donc là aussi de l'organisation, de la formalisation pour la conduite même du processus de prévention. Chaque étape de la démarche spécifique aux RPS est détaillée dans cet ouvrage : du diagnostic au plan d'actions et jusqu'au Document Unique. Enfin, des propositions précises sont faites pour insérer durablement la question du travail dans les stratégies d'entreprises, seul moyen pour concilier le développement de la santé des salariés et l'efficacité des organisations."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les conditions de travail se sont globalement aggravées en France et en Europe. Rançon des logiques gestionnaires mises en œuvre au sein des organisations, la souffrance au travail a aussi changé de nature : stress, harcèlement sexuel et/ou moral, violence entre les personnels, violence externe (exercée par des personnes extérieures à l’entreprise à l’encontre de salariés), burn-out, addictions, etc. sont de nouveaux maux du travail.Depuis le milieu des années 2000, cette réalité est appréhendée sous le terme de « risques psychosociaux » ou RPS. Des recherches et interventions de plus en plus nombreuses sur les situations de travail qui génèrent ces souffrances ont permis l’émergence de concepts et d’outils pour analyser, évaluer et surtout prévenir ces risques ; cet ouvrage en dresse un panorama unique à ce jour, aussi éclairant qu’utile.
