This paper examines belonging and non-belonging as set out in Claire Denis'sBeau Travail , in the context of the Enlightenment ideal of citizenship and the historical development of the Foreign Legion. Inclusion and exclusion are also treated in terms of the Oedipal family formation of psychoanalysis, in order to further question just who it is that belongs and why. The characters of Galoup, Sentain and Forestier are used to illustrate the ambiguities that arise from such questioning.

The essay conjectures that it is Salomé who serves as a significant mediation between the later phase of Nietzsche's philosophy and Freud's development of a metapsychology reliant on the hypothesis of a death drive.

Growing up with risk provides a critical analysis of ways in which risk assessment and management - now a pervasive element of contemporary policy and professional practice - are defined and applied in policy, theory and practice in relation to children and young people. Drawing on conceptual frameworks from across the social sciences, the book examines contrasting perspectives on risk that occur in different policy domains and professional and lay discourses, discussing the dilemmas of response that arise from these sometimes contested viewpoints - from playground safety to risks associated with youthful substance use. The contributors address issues of gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status which impact on definitions and responses to risk, and consider related concepts, such as 'risk-resilience', care-control' and 'dependence-autonomy'. Written in an accessible manner, each chapter provides a specific policy case study to illustrate the cross-cutting themes and issues that will make it a key text for researchers and students. It also offers policy makers and practitioners a valuable insight into the complexities of balancing responsibility for protecting the young with the benefits of risk taking and the need to allow young people to experiment
