Erasmus on Women PDF By:Desiderius Erasmus Published on 1996 by University of Toronto Press In his writings Erasmus was more interested in arguing than in settling a case. However the equivocation we find in his writings is more than a literary game or a technical expedient. It is the corollary of his scepticism. One can hardly expect unequivocal statements on complex issues such as the role of women in society from a man who holds that `human affairs take so many shapes that definite answers cannot be provided for them all.' But as Erika Rummel demonstrates, the difficulties of interpreting Erasmus' texts do not invalidate their use as sources of social history; they only prevent us from ascribing the views expressed specifically to Erasmus. What emerges from the text is a composite picture of women's role in society, reflecting a spectrum of views held in Erasmus' time rather than a coherent set of views advocated by him personally. Erasmus on Women offers selections ...

Wild Sardinia PDF By:Tracey Heatherington Published on 2011-07-01 by University of Washington Press Shared concern for nature can be a way of transcending national, ethnic, religious, and cultural boundaries, yet conservation efforts often pit the interests of historically rooted or indigenous peoples against the state and international environmental organizations, eroding local autonomy while �saving� rural land for animals and tourists. Wild Sardinia�s examination of the cultural politics around nature conservation and the traditional Commons on an Italian island illustrates the complexities of environmental stewardship. Long known as the home of fiercely independent shepherds (often typecast as rustics, bandits, or eco-vandals), as well as wild mouflon sheep, magnificent eagles, and rare old oak forests, the town of Orgosolo has for several decades received notoriety through local opposition to Gennargentu National Park. Interweaving rich ethnographic description of highland central...

Sexuality, Eroticism, and Gender in French and Francophone Literature PDF By:Melanie Hackney,Aaron Emmitte Published on 2011-07-12 by Cambridge Scholars Publishing This study explores the diverse representations of sexuality, eroticism, and gender as expressed in French and Francophone literary thought – both past and present. From Françoise de Graffigny’s epistolary “refusal” of eroticism – to the challenge of nineteenth-century notions of rape in the novels of Emile Zola, Victor Hugo, and Eugène Sue – to desire and eroticism as social taboo in the surrealist works of Georges Bataille and Luis Buñuel – its historical focus demonstrates that issues of sexuality, eroticism, and gender existed at the heart of France’s literary tradition long before they became a staple in its universities. Taking a more contemporary view, it examines the notion of écriture féminine in such authors as Monique Wittig, Anne F. Garréta, Nina Bouraoui, Assia Djebar, and Luce Iragaray, and also challenges accu...

Le Métier de patron PDF By:Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber Published on 2014-04-01 by Fayard Sur le marché de l'avenir, les patrons font prime. Les financiers en cherchent pour leur confier leurs capitaux. L'Etat place en eux ses espoirs pour la croissance, l'innovation, l'emploi. Les salariés espèrent que le leur sera le bon. Les pays de l'Est nous en achèteraient bien quelques caisses... Mais, si l'on forme des managers, il n'y a pas d'écoles de patrons. Des autodidactes en deviennent d'excellents, alors que des bêtes à concours font faillite. En quoi consiste ce métier bizarre dont tout le monde, désormais, reconnaît la nécessité et qui suscite tant d'envies? Que se passe-t-il dans la tête d'un patron? Comment décide-t-il? Pourquoi certains sont meilleurs que d'autres? Font-ils tout cela pour l'argent, le pouvoir, ou par goût du sport? Ce livre est une réflexion illustrée de nombreux exemples où se mêlent l'expérience de l'aute...

The New Environmentalism? PDF By:Professor Davide Torsello Published on 2013-01-28 by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd. Drawing on rich ethnographic work in both Eastern and Western Europe, The New Environmentalism? presents a range of case studies to explore the impact of corruption in EU-funded structural development projects. With detailed analyses of the forms and contexts of environmentalism, the book reveals the manner in which corruption is generated by the planning and implementation procedures of the projects, demonstrating in each case that environmental movements emerge as by-products of these processes, using corruption as part of a discourse employed in support of their action against political (regional and state) institutions, as well as to communicate their goals to local citizens. Shedding light on the ways in which revelations about corruption are adopted as a means to fostering civic participation in environmental movements and influencing institutional trust, this book contr...

Sociology, Environmentalism, Globalization PDF By:Steven Yearley Published on 1996-04-28 by SAGE This authoritative book brings together the sociologies of globalization and the environment in one volume.

Peak Oil PDF By:Matthew Schneider-Mayerson Published on 2015-10-14 by University of Chicago Press In recent years, the concept of “peak oil”—the moment when global oil production peaks and a train of economic, social, and political catastrophes accompany its subsequent decline—has captured the imagination of a surprisingly large number of Americans, ordinary citizens as well as scholars, and created a quiet, yet intense underground movement. In Peak Oil, Matthew Schneider-Mayerson takes readers deep inside the world of “peakists,” showing how their hopes and fears about the postcarbon future led them to prepare for the social breakdown they foresee—all of which are fervently discussed and debated via websites, online forums, videos, and novels. By exploring the worldview of peakists, and the unexpected way that the fear of peak oil and climate change transformed many members of this left-leaning group into survivalists, Schneider-Mayerson builds a larger analysis of the rise of liberta...

Ethnographies of Conservation PDF By:David G. Anderson,Eeva Berglund Published on 2003-02-28 by Berghahn Books Anthropologists know that conservation often disempowers already under-privileged groups, and that it also fails to protect environments. Through a series of ethnographic studies, this book argues that the real problem is not the disappearance of |pristine nature| or even the land-use practices of uneducated people. Rather, what we know about culturally determined patterns of consumption, production and unequal distribution, suggests that critical attention would be better turned on discourses of |primitiveness| and |pristine nature| so prevalent within conservation ideology, and on the historically formed power and exchange relationships that they help perpetuate.

SALAUDS DE PATRONS PDF By:Geoffroy Roux de Bezieux Published on 2007-04-11 by Hachette Littératures Les Français n’aiment plus leurs patrons. La France est d’ailleurs le seul pays en Europe où le divorce est si net. Est-ce dû à ces « patrons voyous » dénoncés régulièrement par les hommes et les femmes politiques ? Est-ce le résultat du matraquage des médias sur les superprofits ou les licenciements boursiers ? Ou plutôt la conséquence du comportement hautain et frileux des dirigeants d’entreprise ? Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux livre une analyse sans complaisance de cette spécificité française. Relations entre les chefs d’entreprise, les médias et les politiques, dérive salariale des grands patrons ou pression des actionnaires financiers : avec sa double casquette de patron et de créateur d’entreprise, il tente de donner les clefs de la réconciliation de la France avec ses patrons, sans tabou ni langue de bois, pourtant si fréquente dans les discours patronaux.

An Ethnography of Global Environmentalism PDF By:Caroline Gatt Published on 2017-10-06 by Routledge Based on nine years of research, this is the first book to offer an in-depth ethnographic study of a transnational environmentalist federation and of activists themselves. The book presents an account of the daily life and the ethical strivings of environmental activist members of Friends of the Earth International (FoEI), exploring how a transnational federation is constituted and maintained, and how different people strive to work together in their hope of contributing to the creation of |a better future for the globe.| In the context of FoEI, a great diversity of environmentalisms from around the world are negotiated, discussed and evolve in relation to the experiences of the different cultures, ecosystems and human situations that the activists bring with them to the federation. Key to the global scope of this project is the analysis of FoEI experiments in models for intercultural an...

Chroniques d'espoir PDF By:Claude Allègre Published on 2004-05-05 by Fayard Jamais dissimulé, direct, irritant parfois, mais toujours sincère, le chercheur-journaliste qu’est Claude Allègre n’appartient à aucune chapelle même s’il ne renie rien de son engagement à gauche. Rétif à toute entrave, il ne cultive pas la provocation mais écrit avec une indépendance décapante, et souvent dérangeante, dans un monde qui a érigé la langue de bois et le corporatisme en règle d’or. Ses chroniques sont celles d’un citoyen engagé et d’un homme libre. Pour la première fois réunies, elles dressent le tableau d’une France qui, pour se réformer, a besoin d’hommes et de femmes qui lui disent plus souvent la vérité sur le monde tel qu’il est.

Décision de crise dans l’entreprise (La) PDF By:Frank Dangeard Published on 2011-01-13 by Odile Jacob \ufeffComment British Telecom et France Télécom ont-elles géré la sortie de crise due à la bulle Internet ? Quelles ont été les décisions qui ont pesé sur leur destin ? S’appuyant sur des comparaisons de ce type, comme entre Alcatel-Lucent et Cisco, Royal Bank of Scotland et Barclays, Symantec et Thomson multimédia, mais aussi nombre d’exemples tirés de l’histoire récente d’EDF, d’ADN Amro, de Hewlett-Packard ou encore d’Enron, Frank Dangeard dresse un tableau de ce qui doit être revu dans les processus de décision et de ce qui peut permettre la réussite. La crise que nous avons connue n’appelle pas seulement une refonte des mécanismes globaux de régulation. Elle pose aussi la question de la gouvernance des entreprises. Nous devons en revoir les principes, mais surtout réexaminer leur mise en œuvre. Car c’est moins une question de règles nouvelles que de pratique, de dynamique de group...

Repenser la responsabilité sociale de l'entreprise PDF By:Corinne Gendron,Bernard Girard Published on 2013-05-08 by Armand Colin Au confluent des traditions de pensée anglo-saxonne et continentale, les chercheurs de l’École de Montréal ont développé une perspective distinctive de la responsabilité sociale qui nourrit la recherche francophone tout autant qu’elle renouvelle les paradigmes anglo-saxons. Attentive aux dimensions sociologiques et institutionnelles de l’activité des entreprises, cette perspective n’en occulte pas pour autant les défis gestionnaires et opérationnels qu’induisent un contexte ou une stratégie de responsabilité sociale. Les chercheurs de l’École de Montréal ont ainsi développé une problématique originale, bien ancrée dans la réalité des entreprises, qui leur a permis d’élaborer des concepts nouveaux comme celui de Nouveau Mouvement Social Économique et de Régulation hybride ou d’approfondir des thématiques encore peu explorées telles que le rôle de l’État da...

Thirty Voices in the Feminine PDF By:Michael Bishop Published on 1996-01-01 by Rodopi Thirty voices in the feminine offers a considerable range of critical studies devoted to thirty-four contemporary women writers from France. Québec and Acadia: Beauvoir, Ernaux, Yourcenar, Hébert, Duras, Sarraute, Maillet, Cixous, Chawaf, Albiach, Redonnet, Atlan, Sallenave, Monette, Le Dantec, Tellermann, Risset, Hyvrard, Detambel, Reyes, Lejeune, Alonso, Farhoud, Pelletier, Billetdoux, Teyssiéras, Zins, Turcotte, Sebbar, Nimier, Mailhot, D'Amour, Hinschberger, Namiand. The authors of the studies, from Canada, USA, England and Holland, offer a variety of critical approaches to the work at hand; textual alertness or close analysis frequently is in evidence, however, whether discussion tends to the sociological, the psychological, the interdisciplinary or the stylistic, and all the studies reveal of necessity a profound belief in the great intrinsic and extrinsic value of the literature dealt with,...
