Abstract

Cet ouvrage classique, aux nombreuses éditions internationales, dresse un panorama complet des grandes théories de la communication et offre un tableau précis des travaux et réflexions motivés par l'évolution des technologies et des pratiques. Il met en évidence l'apport majeur de la sociologie dans la compréhension de la communication et des médias sur les plans organisationnels, identitaires, culturels, politiques et symboliques. Outil pédagogique, mais aussi ouvrage de réflexion de référence, ce manuel apporte une contribution importante à la compréhension comme à l'orientation des débats sur les rapports entre sciences sociales et sciences de l'information et de la communication. Revenant sur plus d'un siècle d'approche sociologique de la communication, il aborde : le déterminisme technologique, les courants critiques et empiriques, la sociologie de la domination et de la réception, les liens entre sémiologie/sémiotique et sociologie, les professions et logiques de production, le journalisme et la construction de l'opinion publique, les théories de l'espace public. Enfin, il défend l'intérêt d'une ouverture plus affirmée sur les Cultural Studies et propose la constitution d'une nouvelle sociologie des médias réconciliant les recherches sur la production et celles sur la réception. Cette troisième édition enrichie développe largement l'analyse du « supermédia » Internet (réseaux sociaux, « démocratie électronique/démocratie Internet ») et ses implications sociales et politiques, tout en répertoriant ses mutations (des blogs à l'Internet « des objets »).

Abstract

Some of the most pertinent questions those of us living in developed countries encounter – both as individuals and as members of societies – have to do with how we live in the digital age. The range of scientific, economic, legal, and ethical discussions on the issue may, at times, feel overwhelming. Initial scholarly and policy claims about the revolutionary impact of the internet – on the ways in which we conduct our everyday lives, relate to one another, develop personality traits, and exercise our democratic rights – that surfaced in the early 1990s have gradually become more nuanced as more scientific evidence became available. This book Living in the Digital Age: Self-presentation, Networking, Playing, and Participating in Politics seeks to contribute to some of the most up-to-date, complex explorations of the topic.

Abstract

Video gaming proffers manifold possibilities in role taking and requires players to entertain dialogues with various interlocutors in online and offline contexts. Online games have been extensively studied. Yet, we wonder what happen through the offline interaction between the player and their avatars. This work shows that, while playing with The Sims®, players undertake a socializing voyage through several stops: simulation, anticipation, experimentation, embezzlement and interdependence. Throughout their experiences video gamers extend their awareness and their plasticity to increase their social flexibility. At the end of their voyage, players achieve a better understanding of their social world. The socializing voyage is the micro level of the video-ludological socialization developed elsewhere.

Abstract

What do pure mathematicians do, and why do they do it? Looking beyond the conventional answers—for the sake of truth, beauty, and practical applications—this book offers an eclectic panorama of the lives and values and hopes and fears of mathematicians in the twenty-first century, assembling material from a startlingly diverse assortment of scholarly, journalistic, and pop culture sources.Drawing on his personal experiences and obsessions as well as the thoughts and opinions of mathematicians from Archimedes and Omar Khayyám to such contemporary giants as Alexander Grothendieck and Robert Langlands, Michael Harris reveals the charisma and romance of mathematics as well as its darker side. In this portrait of mathematics as a community united around a set of common intellectual, ethical, and existential challenges, he touches on a wide variety of questions, such as: Are mathematicians to blame for the 2008 financial crisis? How can we talk about the ideas we were born too soon to understand? And how should you react if you are asked to explain number theory at a dinner party?Disarmingly candid, relentlessly intelligent, and richly entertaining, Mathematics without Apologies takes readers on an unapologetic guided tour of the mathematical life, from the philosophy and sociology of mathematics to its reflections in film and popular music, with detours through the mathematical and mystical traditions of Russia, India, medieval Islam, the Bronx, and beyond.

Abstract

"Gathering scholars from different disciplines, this book is the first on how to study emotions using sociological, historical, linguistic, anthropological, psychological, cultural and mixed approaches. Bringing together the emerging lines of inquiry, it lays foundations for an overdue methodological debate.The volume offers entrancing short essays, richly illustrated with examples and anecdotes, that provide basic knowledge about how to pursue emotions in texts, interviews, observations, spoken language, visuals, historical documents and surveys. The contributors are respectful of those being researched and are mindful of the effects of their own feelings on the conclusions. The book thus touches upon the ethics of research in vivid first person accounts. Methods are notoriously difficult to teach--his collection fills the gap between dry methods books and students' need to know more about the actual research practice"--

Abstract

La naissance est universelle et revêt une importance capitale pour chacun d'entre nous. À notre époque, beaucoup de mères se sentent dépossédées de leur accouchement et de nombreux parents souhaitent avoir accès à des conditions de naissance plus naturelles. Mais c'est souvent un véritable parcours du combattant ... Doris Nadel, sage-femme expérimentée et engagée, nous livre un plaidoyer pour une naissance respectée. Elle plaide pour un retour à la simplicité de la naissance, dont les parents doivent être les acteurs principaux, respectés et accompagnés de façon adaptée, ainsi que pour la liberté de choisir le lieu et les modalités de leur accouchement.À travers le récit de son parcours, c'est l'histoire de l'évolution des conditions de la naissance en France dans ces cinquante dernières années qui se dessine. Rendant hommage aux sages-femmes du monde entier, elle apporte un regard critique et analytique sur la dégradation des conditions de la naissance et leurs conséquences délétères sur la santé des femmes et des bébés. Elle dénonce les actes inutiles de la surmédicalisation de la grossesse et de l'accouchement, effectués sous couvert de sécurité, en incriminant l'invasion de l'économie de marché dans le domaine de la santé. Elle ouvre enfin sur les possibilités de changer les conditions de la naissance afin de valoriser les compétences des femmes, des parents, dans cette aventure fondatrice de notre humanité.
