Applied Shakespeare is attracting growing interest from practitioners and academics alike, all keen to understand the ways in which performing his works can offer opportunities for reflection, transformation, dialogue regarding social justice, and challenging of perceived limitations. This book adds a new dimension to the field by taking an interdisciplinary approach to topics which have traditionally been studied individually, examining the communication opportunities Shakespeare's work can offer for a range of marginalized people.It draws on a diverse range of projects from across the globe, many of which the author has facilitated or been directly involved with, including those with incarcerated people, people with mental health issues, learning disabilities and who have experienced homelessness. As this book evidences, Shakespeare can be used to alter the spatial constraints of people who feel imprisoned, whether literally or metaphorically, enabling them to speak and to be heard in ways which may previously have been elusive or unattainable.The book examines the use of trauma-informed principles to explore the ways in which consistency, longevity, trust and collaboration enable the development of resilience, positive autonomy and communication skills. It explores this phenomenon of creating space for people to find their own way of expressing themselves in a way that mainstream society can understand, whilst also challenging society to 'see better' and to hear better. This is not a process of social homogenisation but of encouraging positive interactions and removing the stigma of marginalization.

"This handbook presents a systematic and comprehensive overview of economic sociology, an exemplary interdisciplinary field which draws on theoretical frameworks and empirical findings from both economics and sociology to present a unique lens on the interdependence of the economy and society. The handbook is arranged in four parts which together present the current state-of-the-art of economic sociology as well as pointing towards future directions for research. The first part outlines the theoretical foundations of economic sociology and its relations to other fields, particularly with regard to other alternative approaches to economics, and looks at conceptions and definitions of economic sociology vary. The second part provides an overview of the historical development of economic sociology from classical political economy to the present day. The third part explores the main problematics of economic sociology, analyzing the economy in relation to particular social institutions, the state, ideology, culture and art, religion, gender, race/ethnicity, and more.

Cet ouvrage analyse l’interaction entre les mutations sociales et les mutations du droit qui est au coeur du projet du nouveau laboratoire de droit de l’université Le Havre Normandie, le CERMUD. En prenant quelques exemples topiques d’actualité, les auteurs inscrivent leur démarche scientifique dans une réflexion dialectique entre les faits et le droit, s’intéressant tour à tour aux origines et aux effets des normes juridiques, dans un dépassement du strict positivisme juridique pour embrasser, selon l’heureuse expression de Georges Gurvitch la « réalité sociale du droit ».

La diversité des approches qui caractérise la discipline conduit cet ouvrage à présenter « des » sociologies du droit, envisagées de manière plurielle. Les œuvres classiques et contemporaines sont ici exposées non de manière historique ou par regroupements derrière des courants mais de façon dynamique, à travers huit tensions qui caractérisent le discours juridique contemporain. La sociologie du droit, science originale ou déclinaison de la théorie ou de la philosophie du droit ? L’établissement juridique des faits, reflet ou construction d’une vérité ? L’interprétation du droit, découverte ou création du sens ? Le droit, liberté ou contrainte ? L’ordre juridique, unité ou pluralité ? Le droit comme vecteur d’une solidarité sociale : communauté ou société ? Formalisation ou déformalisation du droit ? Légalité ou légitimité ?L’ouvrage articule ainsi présentation d’outils théoriques d’analyse et approche empirique, en renvoyant à des enjeux juridiques contemporains divers tels que la non-discrimination et la question du genre, les crimes internationaux et leur répression, les droits sociaux et environnementaux, la liberté d’expression… Il tire aussi son originalité de l’utilisation d’illustrations issues de la culture populaire (cinéma, séries, littérature…), non seulement à des fins didactiques mais aussi afin d’en montrer l’influence dans le champ juridique.

How does the act of performance speak to the concept of commemoration? How and why does commemorative theatre operate as a conceptual, historical and political site from which to interrogate ideas of nationalism and nationhood? This volume explores how theatre and performance create a stage for acts of commemoration, considering crises of hate, nationalism and migration, as well as political, racial and religious bigotry. It features case studies drawn from across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America.The book's four parts each explore commemoration through a different theoretical lens and present a new set of dramaturgies for research and study. While Section 1 offers a critical survey of 20th- and 21st-century discourses, Section 2 uncovers the commemorative practices underpinning contemporary dramaturgy and applies these practices to plays and performance pieces. These include works by Martin Lynch, Frank McGuinness, Sanja Mitrovic, Theater RAST, Les SlovaKs Dance Collective, Estela Golovchenko, Wajdi Mouawad, Aine Stapleton, CoisCeim, ANU Productions, Aubrey Sekhabi, and Indian and African dance practices. The final sections investigate how individual and collective memory and performances of commemoration can become tools for propaganda and political agendas.

Le geste de la modernité - viser la maîtrise non seulement de l'ensemble des formes naturelles mais également du monde comme totalité - est aujourd'hui invalidé par les conséquences qui en découlent, et que nous rassemblons sous le nom de "crise environnementale et climatique global" . A cette transformation, à toutes les échelles, des conditions de vie sur Terre, appelée aujourd'hui "Anthropocène" , correspond un renouvellement de l'idée formulée depuis longtemps par les écologistes, selon laquelle nous sommes tenus par les limites de notre planète.Plutôt qu'à la multiplication des performances techniques que suppose une hypothétique conquête de l'espace, répétant sur un autre mode nos rêves de prédation, c'est à un "retour sur Terre" que la crise environnementale nous confronte ; à une culture, aventureuse et responsable, des rapports à créer avec l'intrication infinie des êtres qui la peuplent. Cet ouvrage rassemble six essais, inédits en français, de philosophes, historien-ne-s, anthropologues et sociologues qui ont tou-te-s contribué ces dernières années à la prise en compte des enjeux écologiques dans les sciences humaines.

When does eating become art? 'The Aesthetics of Taste' answers this question by exploring the position of taste in contemporary culture and the manner in which taste meanders its way into the realm of art. The argument identifies aesthetic values not only in artistic practices, where they are naturally expected, but also in the spaces of everydayness that seem far removed from the domain of fine arts. As such, it seeks to grasp what artists - who offer aesthetic as well as culinary experiences - actually try to communicate, while also pondering whether a cook can be an artist.00Also available in Open Access.

Sarah Kane was one of the landmark playwrights of 1990s Britain, her influence being felt across UK and European theatre. This is the first book to focus exclusively on Kane's unique approach to mind and mental health. It offers an important re-evaluation of her oeuvre, revealing the relationship between theatre and mind which lies at the heart of her theatrical project.Drawing on performance theory, psychoanalysis and neuroscience, this book argues that Kane's innovations generate a 'dramaturgy of psychic life', which re-shapes the encounter between stage and audience. It uses previously unseen archival material and contemporary productions to uncover the mechanics of this innovative theatre practice.Through a radically open-ended approach to dramaturgy, Kane's works offer urgent insights into mental suffering that take us beyond traditional discourses of empathy and mental health and into a profound rethinking of theatre as a mode of thought. As such, her theatre can help us to understand debates about mental suffering today.
