"States of Disconnect develops a critical vocabulary for apprehending disconnect, a defining condition of our times. In a world caught between the waning of globalized hyper-connectivity and the reemergence of reactionary nationalisms, this book offers ways of relating with cultural others anew, against both the unequal flows of globalization and the exclusionary paradigms of narrow nationalisms. Disconnect, the book argues, is not the antonym of connection but a state of being that makes possible new ways of relating with cultural others in moments conventionally seen as detrimental to connection, such as violence, hostility, or even indifference.

While entrepreneurship characterizes an ideal form of self-sufficiency, in practice entrepreneurs find themselves subject to a complex network of support systems, which in effect exploit their talents, resources, and passion for structural risk mitigation. This dynamic infrastructure composed of founders, investors, and service providers is not a necessary institution, but rather the result of intersectional incentive structures managed by the professionalization of a process which is supposed to be anti-professional. This paradox should be addressed at a structural level if we hope to preserve the ideal of entrepreneurship. Innovation Ethics proposes a solution where we reframe a regulatory metric away from optimization towards innovation through the redistribution of risk across the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This solution finds support in a model of innovation ethics which we have designed to correct the over-reliance on naturalistic models, by stimulating a debate over how, and even if, innovation should proceed.

Militärhistorische Forschung basiert immer noch weitgehend auf schriftlichen Quellen. Es existieren aber zahlreiche andere Zugänge wie etwa Objekte, Bild- oder Tonquellen, aus denen Kenntnis der Vergangenheit gewonnen werden kann. Der Band zur Jahrestagung 2021 der Schweizerischen Vereinigung für Militärgeschichte und Militärwissenschaften nimmt die Vielfalt der Quellen in den Fokus und zeigt auf, wo Chancen für die militärhistorische Forschung auch in Bezug auf die Interdisziplinarität liegen können.

Ce livre d'entretiens revient sur un itinéraire et des chantiers ouverts dès les années 1970. Il restitue les rencontres, les échanges et les travaux menés avec Michel Foucault ou Robert Badinter. Cette histoire pénitentiaire s'ouvre par la révolte des prisons, en France comme aux États-Unis, et montre comment la question carcérale est devenue d'actualité. Michelle Perrot pousse ensuite les portes des maisons d'arrêt et des centrales, s'intéresse aux "modèles" d'enfermement, mais aussi au "gibier pénal", c'est-à-dire aux détenus et aux prisonnières. Elle s'arrête enfin sur la séduction du fait divers qui, par la médiatisation du crime, attise le voyeurisme mais constitue aussi une entrée pour saisir l'état d'une société et la part obscure des individus.
