"The first book to delineate anti-work in a systematic fashion by identifying and compiling positions from a wide spread of literature, The Psychology of Anti-Work defines the tenets of anti-work, reviews them from a psychological and historical point of view, and offers solutions to aid the average person in his or her struggle with work. Anti-work thinkers have vigorously argued that work entails a submission of the human will that is constraining and even ultimately damaging. The author has refined eighteen tenets of anti-work from the literature, which range from the suggestion that all jobs are bad, to the remarkable ability of modern capitalist enterprises to build "job engagement" among workers, to the proposal of alternative work-deemphasized worlds. The Psychology of Anti-Work begins with a discussion of these tenets, in particular the submission of the will required by work, followed by an overview of topics such as worker resistance, merit, and precarious work. The second part of the book unfolds various possible human responses to the work problem, such as detachment, thinking while working, and right livelihood. In the third part, several lessons about anti-work are drawn from parables, koans, and tales. Discussions of cults and work, working from home, unions, and cooperatives, as well as lessons from Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity offer additional perspectives on the topic of work and provide guidance on developing a helpful attitude toward it. By highlighting the tensions that exist between anti-work and pro-work positions, the book provides new ways to view and plan life, and will be thought-provoking and valuable insight for students, instructors, and practitioners in industrial and organizational psychology and related fields, as well as all people who have worked, will work, have never worked, or will never work"--

Noise is so often a 'stench in the ear' - an unpleasant disturbance or an unwelcome distraction. But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound. Beyond Unwanted Sound is about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise music, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon.

L'émergence de dissolutions matrimoniales visibles dans les années 60 reçoit une explication à multiples volets. Si elle est liée aux contradictions structurelles de la famille des sociétés industrielles avancées, elle a pris au Québec l'aspect d'une transformation accélérée et soudaine. Des facteurs conjoncturaux rendent compte de la rapidité de cette évolution pendant les années 60. Quoique réelle, la soudaineté du phénomène est aussi un effet du « regard » : la perception idéologique/idyllique des institutions familiales et matrimoniales a empêché de voir les dissolutions latentes que l'analyse du matériel ethno-sociographique des années 60 nous a restituées. The emergence as a phenomenon of a marked decline of marriage during the 1960s has a variety of causes. It is of course linked to structural contradictions of the family in advanced industrial society, but, in Québec, it erupted as a suddent and quickening transformation. Contingent factors of general context, aside from the family itself, explain the rapidity of the evolution through the 1960s. Although the abruptness of the phenomenon is clear, it is in part a matter of « perspective » : the ideological/idyllic perception of family and marriage institutions camouflaged the latent decline of matrimony now reemerging through analyses of ethno-sociographic data for the 1960s.
