Juin 1947, désert du Nouveau-Mexique. William Bazel, qui exploite un ranch situé au nord-ouest de la ville de Roswell, trouve dans un champ une masse de débris. Soucoupe volante ou simple ballon-sonde ? Soulevée dès l'Antiquité, la question de l'existence d'une vie extraterrestre nourrit bien des conjectures. Dans les cercles savants, elle fait l'objet de débats passionnés. Dans la culture populaire, des voyageurs de l'espace visitent régulièrement la Terre. Théologie, science, ufologie ... Autant d'approches qui vont de l'astrobiologie au complotisme le plus débridé, sans oublier la science-fiction. Depuis 2017 et la diffusion d'étonnantes images d'ovnis par le Pentagone, l'idée d'une possible rencontre avec des civilisations non humaines se répand, en particulier dans les médias américains. Que se passerait-il si le contact était établi ? Sans bien sûr apporter de réponses définitives, Estiva Reus et Renan Larue montrent plutôt que la figure nécessairement fantasmée de l'extraterrestre en dit long sur nous-mêmes, sur nos craintes et nos espoirs.

Wat speelt er zich af achter de muren van de detentiecentra waar mensen zonder verblijfsrecht worden opgesloten? Hierover is in het algemeen weinig bekend. Detentiecentra zijn immers relatief ondoordringbare plaatsen voor de buitenwereld.In dit boek krijgen personen die opgesloten zijn en personen die werkzaam zijn in één Nederlands en drie Belgische vreemdelingendetentiecentra een stem. Hun ervaringen en de werking van de verschillende centra worden vanuit een criminologisch-penologische invalshoek bestudeerd op basis van langdurige observaties, talrijke informele gesprekken en interviews. De vergelijking van detentiecentra over landsgrenzen heen maakt duidelijk dat uitvoeringspraktijken en ervaringen verschillen. De auteur draagt hiervoor verschillende verklaringen aan en verfijnt zo de theorievorming over vreemdelingendetentie die zich het afgelopen decennium ontwikkeld heeft.Vreemdelingendetentie in de Lage Landen is een aanrader voor sociale wetenschappers die praktijken van migratiecontrole en detentie bestuderen. Ook personen werkzaam binnen de vreemdelingenketen of binnen een detentiecontext zullen hun gading in het boek vinden: de studie biedt de nodige aangrijpingspunten om over de eigen praktijken te reflecteren en deze eventueel ten goede te veranderen.https://www.boom.nl/product/100-12740_Vreemdelingendetentie-in-de-Lage-Landen

Does technology change who we are, and if so, in what ways? Can humanity transcend physical bodies and spaces? Will AI and genetic engineering help us reach new heights or will they unleash dystopias? How do we face mortality, our own and that of our warming planet? Questions like these—which are only growing more urgent—can be answered only by drawing on different kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing. They challenge us to bridge the divide between the sciences and the humanities and bring together perspectives that are too often kept apart.Great Minds Don’t Think Alike presents conversations among leading scientists, philosophers, historians, and public intellectuals that exemplify openness to diverse viewpoints and the productive exchange of ideas. Pulitzer and Templeton Prize winners, MacArthur “genius” grant awardees, and other acclaimed writers and thinkers debate the big questions: who we are, the nature of reality, science and religion, consciousness and materialism, and the mysteries of time. In so doing, they also inquire into how uniting experts from different areas of study to consider these topics might help us address the existential risks we face today. Convened and moderated by the physicist and author Marcelo Gleiser, these public dialogues model constructive engagement between the sciences and the humanities—and show why intellectual cooperation is necessary to shape our collective future.Contributors include David Chalmers and Antonio Damasio; Sean Carroll and B. Alan Wallace; Patricia Churchland and Jill Tarter; Rebecca Goldstein and Alan Lightman; Jimena Canales and Paul Davies; Ed Boyden and Mark O’Connell; Elizabeth Kolbert and Siddhartha Mukherjee; Jeremy DeSilva, David Grinspoon, and Tasneem Zehra Husain.

Much of the scholarship in development studies focuses on developing countries. However, many of the same issues can be seen in developed countries, where migrants now constitute a sizeable proportion of the poor and politically disenfranchised. In immigrant receiving countries such as Australia, temporary migrants in low-income households are most at risk of poor social and health outcomes. This research explores the experiences of temporary migrant workers from Southeast Asia in Australia, demonstrating that migrant workers, on the whole, live without a political voice or clear pathway to permanent residency and citizenship. The research is informed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's theoretical framework of capabilities. One of the most critical capabilities is having a sense of political agency and control over one's environment. Given the significant increase in temporary migration flows around the world, this Element draws attention to the necessity of migrants to be provided with political capabilities.
