Des pièces d'archives - tracts, brochures, affiches, photographies, etc. - Choisies et commentées composent un récit vivant qui nous fait redécouvrir la France contestataire du début des années 1970, dont les échos résonnent avec force cinquante ans plus tard.00Le ± Peace and Love ?, La culture hippie et la ± libération sexuelle ? ont eu tendance a faire oublier combien, en France, les années 1970-1974 furent traversées de tensions, de conflits ou d'affrontements.00Ce début de décennie post-68 est largement habité par la figure de la violence, celle de l'état ou celle considérée comme une option par les mouvements contestataires.00Quels moyens mobiliser dans les luttes locales, nationales ou internationales ?00L'occupation d'une usine, la séquestration d'un patron, la préparation au ± coup de poing ? sont-elles légitimes ?00Le recours a des formes d'action directe illégale est-il même inévitable pour espérer ± changer la vie ? Et combattre les diverses formes d'oppression ?00Ou bien faut-il malgré tout privilégier la non-violence, la désobéissance civile ?00Les archives ici réunies et commentées font entendre les questionnements qui traversent le début des années 1970-et qui demeurent pour partie les nôtres

Bringing together eminent International Relations (IR) scholars from China and the West, this book examines moral realism from a range of different perspectives. Through its analyses, it verifies the robustness of moral realism in IR theory. The first section of the book is written by Chinese scholars and dedicated to debates about how moral realism relates to traditional schools of IR theory. The latter portion, provided by Western contributors, critically investigates both the universal and practical values of moral realism. Finally, Yan Xuetong concludes by responding constructively to all criticisms and further exploring the nature and characteristics of interstate leadership in moral realism.

Harm reduction entails policies, programs and practices aimed at reducing the harms associated with the use of psychoactive drugs in people who are unwilling or unable to stop. The focus is on the prevention of harm, rather than on the prevention of drug use itself. Harm reduction has been a principle of Australias approach to drug use for several decades. However, recent overdose deaths and hospitalisations at music festivals have highlighted the clear harms of illicit drug use and prompted a debate over the introduction of pill testing, with political leaders being reluctant to implement the measure. This book explores the ethical, legal and medical pros and cons in the debate, with a topical focus on pill testing. Does pill testing give young people a false sense of security and promote further risky drug use, when there is really no safe level at which these substances can be taken? Or are harm reduction approaches such as pill testing and needle and syringe programs simply about saving lives and giving people a safety net? In a perfect world, no one would risk their lives by taking party drugs but in reality, is harm reduction too bitter a pill to swallow?--

'In the Time of their Lives is a wonderful book that honours the extraordinary heritage and historical trajectory of Western Desert (Ngaanyatjarra) speech, the importance of speech and the management of its varieties with a complexity and insight we have rarely seen in print. With a blend of interviews in translation, close examples of speech, first person testimony, photographs, film clips and historical material, Kral and Ellis have brought attention to the changing sensory world of Yarnangu, of sight sound and bodily experience as central to Ngaanyatjarra sociality and personhood. It is rare, indeed, to have such respectful research flow from the intimate and personal perspective of a committed member and active participant in Ngaanyatjarra life.' - Fred Myers, Silver Professor of Anthropology, New York University
