Depuis le début du XXIe siècle, divers événements ont pu mettre en cause la place des pratiques et des institutions religieuses dans les sociétés démocratiques. Cet ouvrage interroge les notions de laïcité et de religion, leurs rapports avec les institutions politiques ou spirituelles depuis le Moyen Âge. Les notions de cohabitation et de coexistence sont également abordées, en prêtant une attention particulière aux arguments et aux contextes qui rendent possibles ces rencontres ou qui, au contraire, provoquent des confrontations

Unlike most Asian and Latin American countries, sub-Saharan Africa has seen both an increase in population growth rates and a weakening of traditional patterns of child-spacing since the 1960s. It is tempting to conclude that sub-Saharan countries have simply not reached adequate levels of income, education, and urbanization for a fertility decline to occur. This book argues, however, that such a socioeconomic threshold hypothesis will not provide an adequate

"Ce texte est un essai sur l'amour et le désir que les deux auteurs, comme en dialogue, nourrissent d'une réflexion sur la doctrine d'Averroès concernant l'intellect. D'un poème notoirement énigmatique de Guido Cavalcanti, premier ami de Dante, Giorgio Agamben propose une lecture « averroïste » qui souligne le caractère fantasmatique de l'expérience amoureuse et révèle jusqu'où porte l'intimité entre l'intellect et l'imagination. Dans le même esprit, Jean-Baptiste Brenet s'intéresse à l'intrication radicale de la pensée, du désir et de l'image, dont il montre qu'elle doit paradoxalement s'abolir avant de reparaître ailleurs et autrement. Dans l'analyse de l'intellect d'amour, où l'homme fait diversement l'épreuve de sa propre puissance, poésie, philosophie et politique s'entremêlent." -- [éditeur]

The international sociological community has recently engaged in a controversial discussion on social inequality. There is a vigourous debate on whether the traditional concepts of social class and social stratification are still useful. Some researchers argue that social classes still offer a key explanation to social inequalities while others challenge the long-standing tradition of class analysis. New approaches have been proposed to describe recent social changes in the stratification system: vanishing middle class, two-thirds societies, cosmographic inequality, and classless society, among others.

The comparisons made by the essays in this volume allow for a consideration of constructive and feasible innovations in child and family welfare and contribute to an enriched debate around each system. This book will be of great benefit to the field for many years to come

"This cutting-edge and authoritative Handbook covers a broad spectrum of social movement research methodologies, offering expert analysis and detailed accounts of the ways in which research can effectively be carried out on social movements and popular protests. Addressing practice-oriented questions, this Handbook engages with both theoretical and political dimensions, unpacking the multidimensional nature of social movement research. Divided into three thematic sections, this stimulating Handbook dives deep into discussions relating to the methodological challenges raised by researching social movements, the technical question of how such research is conducted, and then to more practical considerations about the uses and applications of movement research. Expert contributors and established researchers utilise real-world examples to explore the methodological challenges from a range of perspectives including classical, engaged, feminist, Black, Indigenous and global Southern viewpoints. The Handbook of Research Methods and Applications for Social Movements will not only appeal to experienced researchers, but also to activists who have started to think about researching their own movements and to politically engaged students. It speaks to new and established scholars in relevant disciplines such as sociology, political science, anthropology, geography, development studies, gender studies, and race and ethnic studies, and particularly those looking to better appreciate the different research methods for understanding social movements"--

Alexander Kluge est l'un des grands noms de la pensée et de l'art allemands des années 1960 à nos jours. Écrivain, cinéaste et plus récemment producteur de télévision, cet expérimentateur en matière d'écriture et de médias n'a pas hésité, encore récemment à Paris, à souligner combien la lecture de "La Symphonie pastorale" d'André Gide ainsi que le bref épisode d'un séjour à Paris, en 1959, auraient stimulé sa vocation d'écrivain. Il a montré également combien le cinéma de la Nouvelle Vague a pu jouer un rôle déterminant pour le Nouveau Cinéma allemand, courant dont il reste l'un des représentants les plus prolifiques, tant sur le plan de la théorie que sur celui des réalisations. Fût-elle conditionnelle, l'affinité qu'il déclare éprouver pour la culture française et son histoire, d'Astérix le Gaulois au Général de Gaulle, de la "Chanson de Roland" à Michelet, n'a fait jusqu'à ce jour l'objet d'aucune étude exhaustive. C'est ce manque que viennent combler les dix- huit études ici rassemblées, auxquelles s'ajoutent six textes de Kluge traduits pour la première fois en français .L'ensemble est complété par un DVD où se trouvent recueillis un film capital sur les rapports entre l'Allemagne et la France, "Marianne & Germania", ainsi que quatre courts métrages centrés sur le personnage de Carmen

This book maps globally shifting relations between families, schools and the state across a range of nations (Australia, Germany, India, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, USA) in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Featuring contributions from leading international experts, the book's eight chapters reflect upon the apparently vital responsibility of parents for choosing the rights sort of educational pathways for their children, offering comparative insights into several different kinds of state, with different contexts for the practices of 'educational' parenting. The contributors consider the proposition that a significant focus of the material, emotional and occupational investment of contemporary parents is the formal education of their children, re-shaping not only the relationship between parents and schools but also the nature of parenthood itself. Parents are analysed both as local actors in schools and as subjects of national and international policy regimes, particularly recent and contemporary imperatives of marketisation.. With a focus on social change, the chapters examine the operation of global educational programmes and ideas in national and local settings. The collected national and local studies attend to different confluences of local, regional and transnational, considering a variety of social and cultural patterns as well as national and local educational structures and policy regimes. Parents, Schools and The State: Global Perspectives will be a useful resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of comparative education, educational policy and leadership, educational research, history of education, sociology, research methods and politics. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education
