Abstract

'Hebdige's Subculture: The Meaning of Style is so important: complex and remarkably lucid, it's the first book dealing with punk to offer intellectual content. Hebdige [...] is concerned with the UK's postwar, music-centred, white working-class subcultures, from teddy boys to mods and rockers to skinheads and punks.' - Rolling Stone With enviable precision and wit Hebdige has addressed himself to a complex topic - the meanings behind the fashionable exteriors of working-class youth subcultures - approaching them with a sophisticated theoretical apparatus that combine

Abstract

Au haut Moyen-Âge, une femme mariée avait environ deux chances sur trois de survivre à son mari, ce qui posait la question de son devenir, de son rôle, de sa marge de manœuvre, des biens échangés au moment du mariage et laissés par le défunt. Croisant les approches tant juridiques et religieuses qu’économiques, sociales et anthropologiques, la présente étude envisage ces différents aspects de la fin du vie à la fin du xie siècle, dans un espace compris entre la Flandre et le Poitou. Elle vise à montrer la spécificité des veuves par rapport aux autres femmes mais aussi par rapport aux veufs, et à cerner les principales mutations, liées notamment aux transformations de l’époque carolingienne et à celles qui apparaissent au xe siècle. Après avoir montré en quoi la mort du mari constituait une rupture, notamment en termes de protection et de devenir, elle s’intéresse aux options possibles pour les veuves, en insistant sur leur place dans les stratégies familiales, puis s’attache à cerner leur rôle, notamment dans la mémoire et les transferts patrimoniaux, ainsi que les pouvoirs qu’elles étaient susceptibles d’exercer.

Abstract

« Il fallait bien y passer », telle est la phrase qui conclut l'évocation douloureuse des opérations chirurgicales que subirent naguère des générations d'enfants. Vers le début du XXe siècle, en quelques années, les amygdales, les végétations, l'appendice sont devenus des organes non seulement inutiles mais dangereux pour la croissance. Leur ablation se donne pour fin de débrider le corps et l'esprit enfantins. Et sur ce point mères et médecins se sont, pendant un long demi-siècle, accordés. La raison médicale de ces ablations systématiques n'a pas résisté à la critique scientifique sans qu'elles disparaissent pour autant. Ce qui reste parfois le « gagne-pain » de certains chirurgiens ne peut donc s'appuyer que sur une raison culturelle capable de justifier ces interventions. Suivant cette piste en anthropologue, Véronique Moulinié découvre qu'une série constamment enrichie d'opérations marque, de nos jours, les césures de l'âge. On opère moins les enfants mais on arrache les dents de sagesse, on sectionne, parfois systématiquement, le périnée des accouchées et, surtout, les ablations de l'utérus et de la prostate sont communément attendues et interprétées comme marques d'entrée dans la vieillesse. Quels principes organisent cette séquence chirurgicale ? Quelle efficacité la justifie ? Pour répondre à ces questions, Véronique Moulinié s'est mise patiemment à l'écoute d'un discours sur les temps de la vie qui, de nos jours, prend souvent la forme d'un savoir partagé sur les âges critiques du corps. Dans le milieu paysan et ouvrier aquitain où s'est déroulée son enquête, la chirurgie des âges est venue s'inscrire dans le schéma des rythmes de la physiologie, elle a contribué à le maintenir tout en le renouvelant. Mais ce savoir complexe reste l'apanage des femmes. Il leur permet tout autant de produire la différence entre filles et garçons que de lire selon une périodicité féminine la physiologie de leurs époux muets quant aux secrets du corps.

Abstract

Every child knows what it means to play, but the rest of us can merely speculate. Is it a kind of adaptation, teaching us skills, inducting us into certain communities? Is it power, pursued in games of prowess? Fate, deployed in games of chance? Daydreaming, enacted in art? Or is it just frivolity? Brian Sutton-Smith, a proponent of play theory, considers each possibility as it has been proposed, elaborated, and debated in disciplines from biology, psychology, and education to metaphysics, mathematics, and sociology. Sutton-Smith focuses on play theories rooted in seven distinct rhetorics - the ancient discourses of fate, power, communal identity, and frivolity and the modern discourses of progress, the imaginary, and the self. In an analysis that moves from the question of play in child development to the implications of play for the Western work ethic, he explores the values, historical sources, and interests that have dictated the terms and forms of play put forth in each discourse's objective theory. This work reveals more distinctions and disjunctions than affinities, with one striking exception: however different their descriptions and interpretations of play, each rhetoric reveals a quirkiness, redundancy, and flexibility. In light of this, Sutton-Smith suggests that play might provide a model of the variability that allows for natural selection. As a form of mental feedback, play might nullify the rigidity that sets in after successful adaption, thus reinforcing animal and human variability. Further, he shows how these discourses, despite their differences, might offer the components for a new social science of play.

Abstract

This edited collection critiques, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the growing body of EU children's rights activities in the light of broader political, economic and legal processes. Specifically, it interrogates whether EU intervention effectively responds to what are perceived as violations of children's rights and the extent to which EU efforts to uphold children's rights complement and reinforce parallel national and international pursuits. Moreover, it scrutinises the compatibility of EU children's rights measures with the principles and provisions enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). [...] insgesamt vermittelt das Buch profunde Einblicke in die verschiedenen Bereiche und Handlungsansätze der EU-Kinderrechtspolitik und regt dazu an, sich genauer mit ihr auseinanderzusetzen. socialnet.de, 24.03.2016

Abstract

This volume details tools and procedures for data collections of hard-to-reach, hard-to-survey populations. Inside, readers will discover first-hand insights from experts who share their successes as well as their failures in their attempts to identify and measure human vulnerabilities across the life course. Coverage first provides an introduction on studying vulnerabilities based on the Total Error Survey framework. Next, the authors present concrete examples on how to survey such populations as the elderly, migrants, widows and widowers, couples facing breast cancer, employees and job seekers, displaced workers, and teenagers during their transition to adulthood. In addition, one essay discusses the rationale for the use of life history calendars in studying social and psychological vulnerability while another records the difficulty the authors faced when trying to set-up an online social network to collect relevant data. Overall, this book demonstrates the importance to have, from the very beginning, a dialogue between specialists of survey methods and the researchers working on social dynamics across the life span. It will serve as an indispensable resource for social scientists interested in gathering and analyzing data on vulnerable individuals and populations in order to construct longitudinal data bases and properly target social policies.

Abstract

Discussing (from various viewpoints) problems in theory building and theory evaluation, this book starts from the assumption that theories of development are particular ways of defining the concept of psychological development in terms of a specific conceptual framework, as well as in terms of a specific empirical range (nature of the explained phenomena, prototypical experiments and applications, etc.).The first three parts deal with basic problems in modern developmental psychology, namely ways of describing development and how they direct theory formation; causes and conditions of d

Abstract

Each chapter in this book is written by, and devoted to the original work of a leading researcher in his or her own field. The book presents an integrative approach to the psychological study of time in an attempt to bring to light similarities between bodies of research which have been developed independently within different theoretical frameworks - from Piaget's structuralist-organismic model, to information processing approaches. The chapters are organized in a life-span perspective, with different chapters focusing on different age-levels. It includes analyses of time perception
