Ce livre est le premier sur la sociologie chinoise en français. Privée d’existence pendant trente ans, la sociologie chinoise a été refondée en 1979. Ce tournant dans l’histoire internationale de la pensée, ainsi que l’intégration des théories occidentales, la restructuration de la discipline, et la multiplication des enquêtes qualitatives comme quantitatives qui ont été accomplie depuis, ne demeurent que trop méconnues. Ce livre donne la parole à des sociologues chinois, témoins éminents de ce renouveau. L’État, la ville, le marché : en nous faisant entrer dans ces différents mondes sociaux de la Chine qui constituent aussi des thèmes majeurs de leurs recherches, c’est la réalité même de la transition qu’ils nous font saisir. Ainsi voit-on s’affirmer, au cours de ces études souvent étonnantes, toujours passionnantes, une dynamique intellectuelle, originale, créative et vigoureuse au sein d’une société en grande transformation, appelée à marquer la sociologie contemporaine et à rénover notre vision tant de la Chine que du monde. Un livre-événement pour tous ceux intéressés par la marche du siècle qui s’ouvre.

In a world obsessed with the virtual, tangible things are once again making history. Tangible Things invites readers to look closely at the things around them, ordinary things like the food on their plate and extraordinary things like the transit of planets across the sky. It argues that almost any material thing, when examined closely, can be a link beween present and past. The authors of this book pulled an astonishing array of materials out of storage--from a pencil manufactured by Henry David Thoreau to a bracelet made from iridescent beetles--in a wide range of Harvard University collecti

Archaeologists have long encountered evidence of natural disasters through excavation and stratigraphy. In Surviving Sudden Environmental Change, case studies examine how eight different past human communities-ranging from Arctic to equatorial regions, from tropical rainforests to desert interiors, and from deep prehistory to living memory-faced, and coped with, such dangers. Many disasters originate from a force of nature, such as an earthquake, cyclone, tsunami, volcanic eruption, drought, or flood. But that is only half of the story; decisions of people and their particular cultural lifeways are the rest. Sociocultural factors are essential in understanding risk, impact, resilience, reactions, and recoveries from massive sudden environmental changes. By using deep-time perspectives provided by interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides a rich temporal background to the human experience of environmental hazards and disasters. In addition, each chapter is followed by an abstract summarizing the important implications for today's management practices and providing recommendations for policy makers.
