The objective of this study is to analyze the territorial structures which we shall identify and to bring out their connections with the formation of the community. In this perspective, it will be a question at first of identifying the key elements of the territorial organization of the city and the roman identity construction, essential elements to understand the territoriality of the roman community. We will then examine the implications of crossing the sacred urban boundaries to determine the weight of spaces and the limits in the definition of powers and legal-religious norms. The vastness of the Roman empire has an extraordinary juridical-sacred complexity. The ancients romans were already conscious of this established fact, connected to political and religious norms which the savant of imperial period (Ist - 5th century AD) no longer mastered completely.The detailed analysis, both the territorial complexity, conceptual and functional, as well as that of the rites which allow to define the statutes, will contribute to give its sense to an established fact which cannot give some explanation only by a « religious roman conservatism », but also by a real feature. ; L'objectif de cette étude est d'analyser les structures territoriales que nous identifierons et de mettre en évidence leurs liens avec la formation de la communauté. Dans cette perspective, il s'agira dans un premier temps d'identifier les éléments phares de l'organisation territoriale de la ville et de la construction identitaire romaine, éléments indispensables pour comprendre la territorialité de la communauté romaine. Nous nous pencherons ensuite sur les implications du franchissement des limites sacrées urbaines afin de déterminer le poids des espaces et celui des limites dans la définition des pouvoirs et des normes juridico-religieuses.

"This book offers a compelling new interpretation of the proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs) at the end of the twentieth century. Challenging the widespread assumption that RTAs should be seen as fundamentally similar economic initiatives to pursue free trade, Francesco Duina proposes that the world is reorganizing itself into regions that are highly distinctive and enduring. With evidence from Europe, North America, and South America, he challenges our understanding of globalization, the nature of markets, and the spread of neoliberalism. The pursuit of free trade is a profoundly social process and, as such, a unique endeavor wherever it takes place. In an unprecedented comparative analysis, the book offers striking evidence of differences in the legal architectures erected to standardize the worldview of market participants and the reaction of key societal organizations--interest groups, businesses, and national administrations--to a broader marketplace. The author gives special attention to developments in three key areas of economic life: women in the workplace, the dairy industry, and labor rights. With its bold and original approach and its impressive range of data, The Social Construction of Free Trade represents a major advance in the growing fields of economic sociology and comparative regional integration."--Book cover.

"This book provides a timely autoethnography tracing the spread of the novel coronavirus, now known as Covid-19, as it emerged and travelled across the world. Following the virus in real time, it explores the fears, risks and responses to the global pandemic, and how it has shaped our everyday lives against the backdrop of the growing climate crisis. Social theorist Victor Jeleniewski Seidler discusses fundamental questions of inequality and injustice regarding race, class and gender that the pandemic has made visible, through the differing risks, vulnerabilities and protections provided by legislative measures. Situated across disciplinary boundaries, the text investigates values, ethics, responsibilities and uncertain futures created by the global health crisis, analysing media and communications strategies and government responses from the UK, and comparing them with political communications around the world. Throughout the book questions are raised around anticipating the pandemic, drawing on cultural histories and experiences in its critical analysis. In its conclusion it connects the global impacts of Covid-19 to the climate emergency and reveals how we are responsible for shaping new economic, political and ecological imaginations that focus on sustainability in planetary terms. This wide-reaching volume will appeal to a broad academic readership in environmental studies, health studies, cultural studies, sociology, gender studies, media and communication"--

"The Covid pandemic has caused massive disruption in the education system. The consequences for the education of the next generation are now clearly visible: a decline in learning performance, problems in psycho-social development and a deterioration in physical condition. Although all children and young people are affected, those from educationally deprived backgrounds fall behind the most. All this characterizes the Covid Generation. Educational inequity is on the rise and an educational catastrophe is looming. As important as this look back is, it is crucial to look forward. This vital book addresses the future of the Covid Generation by exploring its central issues, such as: - What must be done to educate the Covid Generation in the best possible way? - What concepts are there from an educational science perspective? - What are the lessons learned from the Covid pandemic that will continue to be important for the education system in the future? - What new teaching and learning structures need to be created? - How can we strengthen student and teacher resilience? Based on an empirical survey of the well-being and educational attainment of the Covid Generation, concepts and ideas are presented to support and develop the Covid Generation of students, to rethink the education system, and to overcome the educational climate crisis and to enable a fresh start"--

"This is the first book to critically explore international leisure during the COVID-19 pandemic. It analyses the ways in which the pandemic has impacted upon our leisure practices and our leisure lives, focusing on three key spaces - public, private and digital. The book seeks to understand how changes in leisure have led to transformations in the ways we have had to 'do' and 'redo' activities, such as incorporating digitalisation and distancing measures, as well as dealing with restrictions on social interaction, gatherings, and cultural activities. It presents a series of case studies covering topics as diverse as music festivals, theatre on-screen, walking, static cycling, smartphone use, holidays, and the 'lockdown leisure' of pre-school children, including people across the life course, from young children to older retired people. The book discusses changes in patterns of behaviour, leisure experiences and leisure environments worldwide, and critically re-evaluates what leisure is and what it means in contemporary societies. It illustrates both the significant impact the pandemic has had on leisure and the important role leisure plays in helping support and maintain individual and community well-being. This is fascinating reading for any student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in leisure studies, tourism, events, sociology, cultural studies or performance studies"--

The World Wide Web and digital technologies have changed accounting and the way in which financial information is prepared, used, and disclosed. Digital transformation in accounting started with automation of accounting processes and activities, continued with implementation of new technologies (blockchain, clouds, big data, AI), and, in recent years, it has reached the next level: web socialization. Web socialization has different dimensions, and this article aims to reveal some aspects of socialization of accounting in the virtual space. On the basis of a content analysis of the nature of social media, the opportunities for interaction between accounting and social media are outlined.

Based on two decades of participant-observation field research in diverse online environments, this engaging book offers insights for improving lifestyles and enhancing wellbeing in the digital age. John R. Suler, a founder of the field of cyberpsychology, explains its fundamental principles across a wide variety of topics, including online identity management, disinhibition, communication via text and photographs, intimacy and misunderstandings in online relationships, conflicting attitudes toward social media, addiction, deviant behavior, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and media overload. He provides a new framework, the 'Eight Dimensions of Cyberpsychology Architecture', which researchers, students, and general readers interested in cyberpsychology can apply as a valuable tool for creating and understanding different digital realms. Psychology of the Digital Age focuses on the individual, shedding new light on our conscious as well as subconscious reactions to online experiences and our intrinsic human need to self-actualize

Examines whether GB's traditional reputation as an "awkward partner" within the European Community (EC) will be sustained by the next generation of industrial, business, & public administrative elites, drawing on questionnaire data from 948 students majoring in natural science, engineering, or social science in 11 British universities. Results reveal significant differences between the 3 designated discipline groups, & that partisan identification was less significant than youth values in determining attitudes toward Europe. Overall, however, British students strongly support the EC as an abstract entity but are largely ignorant of its institutional structures & rather skeptical when it comes to specific EC policies. It is concluded that this cognitive dissonance reveals the fragile nature of British student support for the EC & that given the pressures toward further integration, the next generation of elites might be only marginally less skeptical than is the present. 4 Tables, 1 Figure, 17 References.
