Klappentext: Si le titre pose la question de manière aussi abrupte, c'est que nous souhaitons bousculer le consensus dont bénéficie le tourisme, non seulement parmi l opinion publique et les professionnels du secteur, mais aussi chez ceux qui semblent a priori les mieux placés pour résister aux diverses mystifications de la communication touristique. Chercheurs, militants et esprits critiques ne sont eux-mêmes pas insensibles aux sirènes du tourisme! Le tourisme, partie prenante de l'industrie du divertissement, ne contribue-t-il pas à nous faire accepter le monde tel qu il va ? L'imaginaire touristique dessine un univers séduisant, à tel point qu'il généraliserait la croyance dans une utopie enfin réalisée. Les lieux sont toujours beaux et confortables, les populations accueillantes, la nature préservée, et nous mènerions là-bas, durant le temps idéalisé de nos vacances, une existence assurément plus libre et détendue. Le paysage enchanteur de la communication touristique est d'ailleurs si généralisé que certains touristes sont soucieux de sortir du cadre. Quittant les lieux communs du tourisme, pris de culpabilité ou/et saisis par le désir de distinction, les voilà qui s'en vont visiter les lieux en guerre, ou bien multiplient les séjours "humanitaires" ou "équitables" auprès des pauvres de ce monde... La bonne conscience colle aux semelles des acteurs du tourisme, toujours prêts à mêler affaires, divertissement, esprit de découverte et intentions généreuses. Il est temps de réveiller le touriste qui sommeille en nous! En réunissant chercheurs, universitaires, intellectuels francs-tireurs et praticiens-voyageurs distanciés, l'objectif de ce livre est de pousser le tourisme dans ses retranchements en auscultant ses horizons, afin d'imaginer de nouvelles manières de découvrir le monde...

Social networks have significantly contributed to the relativization of the boundaries between private life and the business sphere, which has enabled employers to more easily and quickly obtain relevant data during the employment process, while avoiding contact with the candidates. Employers violate the privacy of potential candidates by obtaining data in this manner without making prior notification and receiving consent, which opens up a whole range of complex ethical and legal issues, especially in the light of the large number of fake profiles and pages on social networks. On the other hand, candidates applying for a vacant position have the opportunity to get to know an organization's employers and employees in more detail, and to gather more information that can often be decisive when making the final decision on whether or not to send in a job application. Most employers today use social media during the process of collecting data on job candidates. Employers cite inappropriate photos, videos or information, followed by announcements pertaining to alcohol or drug consumption, as well as detected discriminatory comments, as the most common reasons for not hiring candidates after verification through social networks.

This collection of essays explores the character and quality of the Holocaust's impact and the abiding legacy it has left for social theory. The premise which informs the contributions is that, ten years after its publication, Zygmunt Bauman's claim that social theory has either failed to address the Holocaust or protected itself from its implications remains true
