Abstract

Hurt feelings are universal and are present in human beings as well as in animals. These feelings are usually avoided by human beings and overlooked by the scientific and professional mental health communities. Yet, if unresolved and not shared with loved ones and professionals, they tend to fester in our bodies and effect our functioning. If not expressed and shared with caring others, anger, sadness and fear are at the bottom of mental illness. Developmentally, each of these feelings respectively gives rise to antisocial acts, depression and severe mental illness. This book suggests that instead of traditional one-on-one, face-to-face, conversation-based interventions, distance writing will allow mental health professionals to assign interactive practice exercises specifically focused on hurt feelings.

Abstract

Autonomy is one of the core concepts of legal and political thought, yet also one of the least understood. The prevailing theory of liberal individualism characterizes autonomy as independence, yet from a social perspective, this conception is glaringly inadequate. In this brilliantly innovative work, Jennifer Nedelsky claims that we must rethink our notion of autonomy, rejecting the usual vocabulary of control, boundaries, and individual rights. If we understand that we are fundamentally in relation to others, she argues, we will recognize that we become autonomous with others - with parents, teachers, employers, and the state. We should not therefore regard autonomy as merely a conceptual tool for assigning rights, but as a capacity that can be fostered or undermined throughout one's life through the relationships and the societal structures we inhabit. The political project thus should not only be to protect the individual from the state and keep the state out, but to use law to construct relations with the state that enhance autonomy. Law's Relations includes many concrete legal applications of her theory of relational autonomy, offering new insights into the debates over due process, judicial review, violence against women, and private versus public law.

Abstract

Le silence peut-il favoriser la rencontre entre deux individus, et ainsi, concourir à l'actualisation de cette qualité de proximité requise pour un vivre ensemble harmonieux ? L'originalité de cet ouvrage réside dans l'exploration de ce paradoxe. II met en contraste le phénomène social du silence, déterminé de façon particulière par le théâtre social où évolue le genre humain, et l'expérience phénoménale du silence, vécue au plus intime de soi. En outre, en s'adossant en large part sur des récits de vie, il apporte un éclairage nouveau sur ce que sont la marginalité et la normalité dans les rapports humains, en dépit des multiples dispositifs de communication verbale, et le rôle éminemment névralgique du silence dans la rencontre. Sujet qui détonne dans les études en communication, son analyse passionnera quiconque s'intéresse à la mise en disponibilité par rapport aux phénomènes du monde et, potentiellement, à une réciprocité assumée entre soi et l'autre. Portant sur les relations humaines au sens large, il nourrira la réflexion sous les angles organisationnels, des relations publiques, de l'intervention sociale, des relations internationales, de l'analyse des médias et des technologies émergentes, de la psychosociologie et davantage
