Abstract

The late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries are commonly characterised as an age of 'neoliberalism' in which individualism, competition, free markets and privatisation came to dominate Britain's politics, economy and society. This historical framing has proven highly controversial, within both academia and contemporary political and public debate. Standard accounts of neoliberalism generally focus on the influence of political ideas in reshaping British politics; according to this narrative, neoliberalism was a right-wing ideology, peddled by political economists, think-tanks and politicians from the 1930s onwards, which finally triumphed in the 1970s and 1980s. The Neoliberal Age? suggests this narrative is too simplistic. Where the standard story sees neoliberalism as right-wing, this book points to some left-wing origins, too; where the standard story emphasises the agency of think-tanks and politicians, this book shows that other actors from the business world were also highly significant. Where the standard story can suggest that neoliberalism transformed subjectivities and social lives, this book illuminates other forces which helped make Britain more individualistic in the late twentieth century. The analysis thus takes neoliberalism seriously but also shows that it cannot be the only explanatory framework for understanding contemporary Britain. The book showcases cutting-edge research, making it useful to researchers and students, as well as to those interested in understanding the forces that have shaped our recent past.

Abstract

"For over three decades neoliberalism has remained the dominant economic ideology. Whilst it may have emerged relatively unscathed from the global financial crisis in 2008, neoliberalism is now - more than ever - the focus of intense scrutiny and debate from critics who argue that it has failed to live up to its many promises delivering instead an increasingly unequal and unhappy world. This book offers a nuanced and probing analysis of the meaning and practical application of neoliberalism in the contemporary world. It guides readers through the current debates around the definition and character of neoliberalism, separating myth from reality and outlining competing approaches to this pervasive doctrine. Drawing on examples such as the growth of finance, the role of corporate power and the rise of workfare and inequality, the book advances a balanced but distinctive perspective on neoliberalism as involving the interaction of political economic ideas, processes of material economic change and a series of political transformations. It also considers the resilience of neoliberalism in the current climate of political disenchantment and economic austerity and explores what some proclaim as the impending death of neoliberalism and what can be done about it. Clearly and accessibly written, this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars across the social sciences"--

Abstract

Quarante ans révolus après ses débuts, l'expérience libérale engagée dans les années 1980 demeure une énigme. Le débat qui l'entoure, limité à ses partisans et ses détracteurs, méconnaît la genèse et la nature de cette expérience. Ils sont d'accord, en fait, pour y voir un retour aux sources du capitalisme, célébré par les uns et combattu par les autres. Or, c'est au contraire un capitalisme très différent de son modèle originel qui s'est inventé à cette occasion, montre Jean-Luc Gréau.Il s'appuie sur une double mainmise des financiers et des juges sur les entreprises et les États, dont les pouvoirs économique, financier et législatif ont été réduits à la portion congrue. Mondialisation et financiarisation vont ainsi de pair. La création de valeur pour l'actionnaire se révèle, à l'usage, comme la raison d'être de la mondialisation.Un nouveau système financier a vu le jour dans ce cycle qui justifie de parler d'une révolution bancaire. Elle s'est traduite par la déresponsabilisation des banques commerciales et la privatisation des banques centrales.Cet engrenage est une menace fatale tant pour les peuples et les États que pour l'écosystème. Leur sauvegarde réclame un changement de cap radical, plaide Jean-Luc Gréau pour finir. Il en indique les pistes.

Abstract

"Thanks to the rise of neoliberalism over the past several decades, we live in an era of rampant anxiety, insecurity, and inequality. While neoliberalism has become somewhat of an academic buzzword in recent years, this book offers a rich and multilayered introduction to what is arguably the most pressing issue of our times. Engaging with prominent scholarship in media and cultural studies, as well as geography, sociology, economic history, and political theory, author Julie Wilson pushes against easy understandings of neoliberalism as market fundamentalism, rampant consumerism, and/or hyper-individualism. Instead, Wilson invites readers to interrogate neoliberalism in true cultural studies fashion, at once as history, theory, practice, policy, culture, identity, politics, and lived experience. Indeed, the book's primary aim is to introduce neoliberalism in all of its social complexity, so that readers can see how neoliberalism shapes their own lives, as well as our political horizons, and thereby start to imagine and build alternative worlds."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

O aparecimento da temática do Lazer nos planos de estudos dos cursos de Geografia e de Turismo, Lazer e Património e a necessidade de um manual escolar para os alunos destes cursos motivou a recolha de um conjunto de trabalhos inéditos ou pouco divulgados sobre o tema. A centralidade do lazer na sociedade contemporânea é desde há três dezenas de anos um facto incontornável. O lazer como fuga à rotina acentua a valorização do prazer, do hedonismo, através das práticas, desde situações de espectador e de entretenimento, às da aventura até às atividades radicais, criando novas rotinas em novos tempos sociais. Os tempos e os modos do lazer afirmam-se cada vez mais como expressões de consumo, produto e produtor das características das nossas sociedades de capitalismo neoliberal. O lazer torna-se num tema de crescente importância incorporando-se no âmago das sociedades contemporâneas. Hoje, falar de lazer envolve atores diversos, individuais ou coletivos, promotores ou consumidores, criando perceções e representações, desde a visão de uma paisagem a uma viagem, estratégias de planeamento, do mercado de trabalho ao tempo livre, atitudes sociais tão diversas desde a salvaguarda cultural à proteção da natureza. O livro abre com dois textos iniciadores Notas para uma Geografia do tempo-livre e Residência secundária e espaço rural. A estes seguem-se textos de natureza exploratória Tempo livre, lazer e terciário, Fundamentos para uma Geografia do tempo livre e Associativismo e práticas de lazer; que encerra com Os espaços/tempos de Lazer na sociedade de consumo contemporânea. Os restantes capítulos abordam temas como desportos radicais, espaço e lugares, relações trabalho/lazer, género, e consumo, espaço rural, lazer noturno e enoturismo.
