Abstract

Objectif de l’étude : Afin de répondre aux enjeux sécuritaires qui découlent de la radicalisation des adolescents ou de leur adhésion aux théories du complot, il est primordial de comprendre les facteurs qui entrent en compte dans ces deux phénomènes. Cette recherche consiste à explorer ces facteurs, mais également les liens entre la radicalisation et le complotisme.&#13;Échantillon et méthodologie : Notre étude exploratoire se base sur un échantillon de 265 étudiants du troisième cycle secondaire de la Province de Liège. Cet échantillon a été établi par la méthode des quotas. Il s’agit d’une recherche exclusivement quantitative. Les données ont été collectées via un questionnaire diffusé en ligne.&#13;Résultats : Le degré de confiance envers les informations s’est révélé être un facteur de risque commun entre l’intention de radicalisme et la mentalité conspirationniste des répondants. Une corrélation significative a pu être mise en évidence entre la mentalité conspirationniste et l’intention de radicalisme. D’autres corrélations ont été significatives, mais ne montraient pas de liens entre nos deux phénomènes. Ces résultats sont tout de même à prendre avec précaution au vu de la représentabilité des résultats.&#13;Conclusion : Cette étude exploratoire peut servir de base pour de futures recherches plus coûteuses et plus chronophages et ainsi permettre des investigations plus approfondies sur le sujet. Objective : In order to meet the security challenges arising from teenagers being radicalized or believing in conspiracy theories, it is critical to understand the factors involved in both phenomena. This study investigates said factors as well as the links between radicalization and conspiracy theories.&#13;Sample and methodology: Our exploratory study is based on a sample of 265 students in the third cycle of secondary education and based in the province of Liege. This sample was created through a quota method. It is purely quantitative research. The data were collected through an online survey.&#13;Results: The level of trust towards the information is a risk factor shared both by people with radicalization intentions and by respondents with a conspiracy mindset. A significant correlation was established between radicalization intentions and a conspiracy mindset. Other correlations were significant, but didn’t show links between both of our phenomena. These results are, however, to be taken with caution given the representability of results.&#13;Conclusion: This exploratory study can provide the basis for the future, more expensive and time-consuming research and therefore allow for more in-depth investigations on the subject.

Abstract

In the mid-1990s, as public trust in big government was near an all-time low, 80% of Americans told Gallup that they supported the death penalty. Why did people who didn't trust government to regulate the economy or provide daily services nonetheless believe that it should have the power to put its citizens to death? That question is at the heart of Executing Freedom, a powerful, wide-ranging examination of the place of the death penalty in American culture and how it has changed over the years. Drawing on an array of sources, including congressional hearings and campaign speeches, true crime classics like In Cold Blood, and films like Dead Man Walking, Daniel LaChance shows how attitudes toward the death penalty have reflected broader shifts in Americans' thinking about the relationship between the individual and the state. Emerging from the height of 1970s disillusion, the simplicity and moral power of the death penalty became a potent symbol for many Americans of what government could do-and LaChance argues, fascinatingly, that it's the very failure of capital punishment to live up to that mythology that could prove its eventual undoing in the United States.

Abstract

In First Person Political , Grant Reeher combats the public's alienation from and distrust of politicians by putting a personal face on everyday political life. Through moving personal interviews, Reeher allows legislators to tell their own stories about how and why they came to politics, the experience of serving in their state legislature, their decisions to stay or leave, and the many trials they face in the name of public service. Reeher contends that these politicians do have the public good in mind and often suffer great personal losses for their chance to represent the people and fight

Abstract

Woran machen Asylrichter*innen fest, ob Geflüchtete »wirklich« schwul oder lesbisch sind? Wer hat die Macht zu definieren, was Homosexualität bedeutet und unter welchen Umständen sie im Sinne des Flüchtlingsrechts schutzwürdig ist? Katharina Schoenes geht diesen Fragen aus der Perspektive der Gender und Queer Studies sowie der Rassismusforschung nach. Dabei rekonstruiert sie das in Asylentscheidungen verwendete Wissen und ordnet es historisch ein. Dies verschafft Einblicke in die bislang kaum erforschten Erfahrungen und Sichtweisen von Asylrichter*innen - und leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Rechtssoziologie.

Abstract

Cultural warfare and trust: fighting the Mafia in Palermo concentrates on a central issue in research on democratic processes: the development of generalised trust. The existence of generalised trust and confidence in a society is decisive for economic development and an effective democracy. Is it possible to fight persistent values of distrust and non-cooperation? Is it possible to support the development of generalised trust through public action and education?The book addresses these questions by examining political efforts to combat Palermo's Mafia-controlled heritage and to turn a tradition

Abstract

Ain't No Trust explores issues of trust and distrust among low-income women in the U.S.-at work, around childcare, in their relationships, and with caseworkers-and presents richly detailed evidence from in-depth interviews about our welfare system and why it's failing the very people it is designed to help. By comparing low-income mothers' experiences before and after welfare reform, Judith A. Levine probes women's struggles to gain or keep jobs while they simultaneously care for their children, often as single mothers. By offering a new way to understand how structural factors impact the daily experiences of poor women, Ain't No Trust highlights the pervasiveness of distrust in their lives, uncovering its hidden sources and documenting its most corrosive and paralyzing effects. Levine's critique and conclusions hold powerful implications for scholars and policymakers alike.

Abstract

Guy Sircello's analysis of the varieties of expression and his use of them to justify a particular view of the human mind clarify a number of controversial topics in contemporary philosophy, among them the notion of "artistic acts," language as expression, the expression of ideas, expressions as "natural signs," and the nature of the causal relationship between an expression and what is expressed.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

These two essays, written late in Jung's life, reflect his responses to the shattering experience of World War II and the dawn of mass society. Among his most influential works, "The Undiscovered Self" is a plea for his generation--and those to come--to continue the individual work of self-discovery and not abandon needed psychological reflection for the easy ephemera of mass culture. Only individual awareness of both the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche, Jung tells us, will allow the great work of human culture to continue and thrive. Jung's reflections on self-knowledge and the exploration of the unconscious carry over into the second essay, "Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams," completed shortly before his death in 1961. Describing dreams as communications from the unconscious, Jung explains how the symbols that occur in dreams compensate for repressed emotions and intuitions. This essay brings together Jung's fully evolved thoughts on the analysis of dreams and the healing of the rift between consciousness and the unconscious, ideas that are central to his system of psychology. This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.

Abstract

From Socrates to Thoreau, most philosophers, moralists, and religious leaders have seen frugality as a virtue and have associated simple living with wisdom, integrity, and happiness. But why? And are they right? Is a taste for luxury fundamentally misguided? If one has the means to be a spendthrift, is it foolish or reprehensible to be extravagant?In this book, Emrys Westacott examines why, for more than two millennia, so many philosophers and people with a reputation for wisdom have been advocating frugality and simple living as the key to the good life. He also looks at why most people have ignored them, but argues that, in a world facing environmental crisis, it may finally be time to listen to the advocates of a simpler way of life.The Wisdom of Frugality explores what simplicity means, why it's supposed to make us better and happier, and why, despite its benefits, it has always been such a hard sell. The book looks not only at the arguments in favor of living frugally and simply, but also at the case that can be made for luxury and extravagance, including the idea that modern economies require lots of getting and spending.A philosophically informed reflection rather than a polemic, The Wisdom of Frugality ultimately argues that we will be better off-as individuals and as a society-if we move away from the materialistic individualism that currently rules.
