La rationalité pénale moderne: Réflexions théoriques et explorations empiriques (Perspectives alternatives en criminologie)
by Richard Dubé Margarida Garcia Maíra Rocha MachadoDouze ans après la création de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en traditions juridiques et rationalité pénale, ce livre rédigé par des chercheurs associés à cette chaire se veut un hommage à son titulaire, le professeur Alvaro Pires. L’ouvrage fait état des plus récentes recherches empiriques et réflexions théoriques liées au concept de « rationalité pénale moderne » (RPM). La RPM fournit une grille d’analyse pour l’observation et la description du droit criminel moderne et permet de soulever des questions pertinentes sur la criminologie et la sociologie du droit criminel. Les points abordés touchent notamment au renouvellement du débat sur la torture, à l’influence de l’opinion publique sur le rendement de la justice, à la reconnaissance des droits de l’homme dans le droit criminel et à la représentation des juges et des politiciens dans les processus de détermination des peines et d’élaboration du droit pénal. Au-delà des spécificités de chacune des contributions, un thème général ressort de l’ensemble de l’ouvrage : celui de la transformation du droit criminel moderne. Ainsi, à l’aube du XXIe siècle et dans le cadre des sociétés dites « modernes », l’évolution d’un système social – qui (sur)valorise l’idéal de justice à travers des valeurs négatives telles que l’enfermement, la distribution de la souffrance et la production de l’exclusion sociale – demeure au centre de la réflexion. L’ouvrage cerne les obstacles cognitifs qui nuisent à l’évolution du droit criminel et à l’émergence d’idées innovantes susceptibles de soutenir et de motiver des pratiques alternatives. - Ce livre est publié en français.

La Rochefoucauld Maxims
by John Heard Jr. La RochefoucauldAfter abandoning politics when he was about forty, François, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) began to write down his maxims, which were first published in book form in 1665.

La Salle and His Legacy: Frenchmen and Indians in the Lower Mississippi Valley
by Patricia K. GallowayTo most people it probably seems that La Salle and his men, permanently fixed in the pantheon of explorers of the North American continent, need little further introduction. The fact is that this whole early period of exploration and colonization by the French in the southeastern United States has received far less scholarly attention than the corresponding English and Spanish activities in the same area, and even the existing scholarship has failed to focus clearly upon the Indian tribes whose attitudes toward the European new comers were crucial to their very survival. In this collection of essays marking the tricentennial of René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle's 1682 expedition into the Lower Mississippi Valley, thirteen scholars from a variety of disciplines assess his legacy and the significance of French colonialism in the Southeast. These scholars in the fields of French colonial history and the ethnohistory of the Indians of the Louisiana Colony deal with a diversity of topics ranging from La Salle's expedition itself and its place in the context of New World colonialism in general to the interaction of French settlers with native Indian tribes.

La valeur des informations: Ressorts et contraintes du marché des idées
by Bertrand LabasseDans le chaos de la communication moderne, comment et pourquoi un message réussit-il à plaire? Par l’analyse méthodique des connaissances scientifiques disponibles, cet ouvrage explore les logiques de production et de réception des discours. Pourquoi les messages qui nous plaisent nous plaisent-ils ? Derrière cette question simple se cache l’un des plus vieux problèmes théoriques de la communication, mais aussi l’un des plus importants dans le bouillonnement contemporain des contenus culturels, politiques, médiatiques et distractifs.Cette recherche s’attaque à ce défi sous un angle nouveau, au moyen d’une approche interdisciplinaire et expose de façon très stimulante les ressorts cognitifs et sociaux qui expliquent les logiques de production et de réception des multiples messages – triviaux ou érudits – en concurrence pour l’attention du public. La clarté de sa construction permettra à chacun de suivre pas à pas les étapes d’une quête captivante menée pendant plus de vingt ans sur des contextes discursifs aussi variés que le journalisme, la littérature ou la communication scientifique et médicale. Au fil d’un cheminement méthodique dont la rigueur n’exclut pas l’humour, on découvre comment des facteurs psychologiques et normatifs similaires, connus de longue date mais rarement rapprochés jusqu’à maintenant, s’exercent conjointement et comment ils contribuent globalement à façonner, pour le meilleur ou le pire, la société ultracommunicante dans laquelle nous vivons.
La Valeur d'Une Femme
by G. G. Vega Elphanielle HervéMalheureusement, l’histoire de l’humanité après le déluge (Genèse 6 y 7), nous a montré que les femmes ont beaucoup souffert, surtout de l’abus des hommes, un manque de respect et un manque de valorisation de l’identité de la femme. Elles ont souffert de ridicules limitation sociales, intellectuelles et du travail, un manque de considération de tout type, mépris, discrimination et marginalisation. À un moment, les hommes ont commis l’injustice de les appeler le sexe faible, en général, dans le sens du mépris, d’inutilité ou d’une gêne. Ce qui est ironique c’est que chaque homme, après Adam, existe grâce à une femme. Sans le ventre de la femme, ils ne pourraient pas être enfanté, sans la poitrine de la femme, ils ne vivraient pas plus d’une semaine, et sans la protection, l’aide, l’attention et l’éducation de leurs mères, ils ne deviendraient pas des hommes utiles, ils ne pourraient pas être forts, ni se sentir capable de prendre son indépendance. Ce livre a le but de mettre en avant ce que mérite les femmes. Nous, les hommes, ne sommes pas plus, nous avons seulement un autre rôle dans la vie.

The Lab Book: Situated Practices in Media Studies
by Darren Wershler Lori Emerson Jussi ParikkaAn important new approach to the study of laboratories, presenting a practical method for understanding labs in all walks of life From the &“Big Science&” of Bell Laboratories to the esoteric world of séance chambers to university media labs to neighborhood makerspaces, places we call &“labs&” are everywhere—but how exactly do we account for the wide variety of ways that they produce knowledge? More than imitations of science and engineering labs, many contemporary labs are hybrid forms that require a new methodological and theoretical toolkit to describe. The Lab Book investigates these vital, creative spaces, presenting readers with the concept of the &“hybrid lab&” and offering an extended—and rare—critical investigation of how labs have proliferated throughout culture.Organized by interpretive categories such as space, infrastructure, and imaginaries, The Lab Book uses both historical and contemporary examples to show how laboratories have become fundamentally connected to changes in the contemporary university. Its wide reach includes institutions like the MIT Media Lab, the Tuskegee Institute&’s Jesup Wagon, ACTLab, and the Media Archaeological Fundus. The authors cover topics such as the evolution and delineation of lab-based communities, how labs&’ tools and technologies contribute to defining their space, and a glossary of key hybrid lab techniques.Providing rich historical breadth and depth, The Lab Book brings into focus a critical, but often misunderstood, aspect of the contemporary arts and humanities.

A Lab of One's Own: One Woman's Personal Journey Through Sexism in Science
by Rita Colwell Sharon Bertsch McGrayneA riveting memoir-manifesto from the first female director of the National Science Foundation about the entrenched sexism in science, the elaborate detours women have taken to bypass the problem, and how to fix the system. If you think sexism thrives only on Wall Street or in Hollywood, you haven&’t visited a lab, a science department, a research foundation, or a biotech firm. Rita Colwell is one of the top scientists in America: the groundbreaking microbiologist who discovered how cholera survives between epidemics and the former head of the National Science Foundation. But when she first applied for a graduate fellowship in bacteriology, she was told, &“We don&’t waste fellowships on women.&” A lack of support from some male superiors would lead her to change her area of study six times before completing her PhD. A Lab of One&’s Own documents all Colwell has seen and heard over her six decades in science, from sexual harassment in the lab to obscure systems blocking women from leading professional organizations or publishing their work. Along the way, she encounters other women pushing back against the status quo, including a group at MIT who revolt when they discover their labs are a fraction of the size of their male colleagues&’. Resistance gave female scientists special gifts: forced to change specialties so many times, they came to see things in a more interdisciplinary way, which turned out to be key to making new discoveries in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Colwell would also witness the advances that could be made when men and women worked together—often under her direction, such as when she headed a team that helped to uncover the source of the anthrax used in the 2001 letter attacks. A Lab of One&’s Own shares the sheer joy a scientist feels when moving toward a breakthrough, and the thrill of uncovering a whole new generation of female pioneers. But it is also the science book for the #MeToo era, offering an astute diagnosis of how to fix the problem of sexism in science—and a celebration of the women pushing back.
Labeling Theory: Empirical Tests (Advances in Criminological Theory #18)
by David P. Farrington and Joseph MurrayLabeling theory has been an extremely important and influential development in criminology, but its recent advances have been largely neglected. This volume aims to reinvigorate labeling theory by presenting a comprehensive range of its modern applications. In the first section, Ross Matsueda chronicles the early history of the theory. Fred Markowitz then reviews labeling theory research as applied to mental illness. Francis T. Cullen and Cheryl Lero Jonson discuss the relationship between labeling theory and correctional rehabilitation. The second section, which is focused on previous tests of labeling theory, begins with a review of prior empirical tests by Kelle Barrick. Anthony Petrosino and his colleagues then summarize their meta-analysis of the impact of the juvenile system processing on delinquency. Lawrence Sherman then discusses experiments on criminal sanctions. The final segment on empirical tests of labeling theory begins with a chapter by Marvin Krohn and his colleagues on the effects of official intervention on later offending. The long-term effects of incarceration are then investigated by Joseph Murray and his colleagues. Finally, Steven Raphael reviews the effects of conviction and incarceration on future employment. This landmark book presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge about labeling theory, and illustrates the importance of this theory for policy and practice. It is the latest volume in Transaction's acclaimed Advances in Criminological Theory series.
Labels: Making Independent Music (Criminal Practice Ser.)
by Ian Woodward Dominik BartmanskiThe music industry is dominated today by three companies. Outside of it, thousands of small independent record labels have developed despite the fact that digitalization made record sales barely profitable. How can those outsiders not only survive, but thrive within mass music markets? What makes them meaningful, and to whom? Dominik Bartmanski and Ian Woodward show how labels act as taste-makers and scene-markers that not only curate music, but project cultural values which challenge the mainstream capitalist music industry. Focusing mostly on labels that entered independent electronic music after 2000, the authors reconstruct their aesthetics and ethics. The book draws on multiple interviews with labels such as Ostgut Ton in Berlin, Argot in Chicago, 100% Silk in Los Angeles, Ninja Tune in London, and Goma Gringa in Sao Paulo. Written by the authors of Vinyl, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the contemporary recording industry, independent music, material culture, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies.
El laberinto de la choledad: Páginas para entender la desigualdad
by Guillermo NugentUn libro fundamental para reflexionar sobre la compleja estructura social de las formas de clasificación, discriminación y racismo en la sociedad Desde su primera edición en 1992, El laberinto de la choledad, del sociólogo Guillermo Nugent, se ha convertido en un texto fundamental para reflexionar sobre la compleja estructura social de las formas de clasificación, discriminación y racismo que se evidencian en las costumbres y prácticas cotidianas. Sus páginas muestran cómo a través del lenguaje en la conversación ciudadana se revelan contradicciones entre lo que decimos y hacemos, la manifestación de un orden tutelar y una jerarquía que encasilla a los ciudadanos en roles determinados y establece límites imaginarios entre ellos, casi imposibles de cruzar. En ese sentido, sostiene Nugent, la fuerza del disimulo y la ambivalencia en los tratos son consecuencias de una cultura que, de manera constante, refuerza la desigualdad social y reprime las semejanzas. Esta nueva edición de El laberinto de la choledad busca motivar una discusión pública sobre el orden actual de la sociedad peruana. Incluye, además, el texto inédito: "La palabra y la piel", que complementa el conjunto de ensayos que analizan los privilegios, los abusos del poder, las violencias y las memorias de los discursos racistas. Se convierte, de este modo, en la edición definitiva de un libro central de las ciencias sociales, de vigorosa vigencia.
Labor Allocation And Rural Development: Migration In Four Javanese Villages
by Philip GuestBy integrating migration research in a comprehensive framework of labour allocation at household and village levels, this study shows how migration factors are crucial in understanding the transformations of rural communities in developing countries. Data collected in 4 villages within a wet rice-growing area of Central Java, Indonesia, are used to examine why some villages and households contribute a greater share of migrants than others. The decision to migrate is located within the constraints and opportunities of local labour markets, and migration is treated as one among many alternatives for allocating the labour of household members. The type of labour allocation choices made is lined to the demographic structure of households, the social position of the household, and the employment opportunities available within the community. These factors are then related to processes of rural development.
Labor and Democracy in the Transition to a Market System
by Bertram Silverman Robert Vogt Murray YanovichNowhere is the tension attending simultaneous political democratization and economic liberalization more sharply felt than in the realm of labour relations. What is happening in Soviet trade unions today? How will the emerging independent unions respond to anticipated rises in unemployment? What kind of social regulation of the labour market will be appropriate in the future? These papers from a pathbreaking US-Soviet conference on labour issues reveal a considerable diversity of views on questions whose resolution will be essential to social peace in this period of transition. Among the noted contributors are Joseph Berliner, Sam Bowles, Richard Freeman, Leonid Gordon, V.L.Kosmarskii, Alla Nazimova, Michael Piore, Boris Rakitskii, Iurii Volkov, Ben Ward and Tatiana Zaslavskaia.
Labor and Desire
by Paula RabinowitzThis critical, historical, and theoretical study looks at a little-known group of novels written during the 1930s by women who were literary radicals. Arguing that class consciousness was figured through metaphors of gender, Paula Rabinowitz challenges the conventional wisdom that feminism as a discourse disappeared during the decade. She focuses on the ways in which sexuality and maternity reconstruct the "classic" proletarian novel to speak about both the working-class woman and the radical female intellectual.Two well-known novels bracket this study: Agnes Smedley's Daughters of Earth (1929) and Mary McCarthy's The Company She Keeps (1942). In all, Rabinowitz surveys more than forty novels of the period, many largely forgotten. Discussing these novels in the contexts of literary radicalism and of women's literary tradition, she reads them as both cultural history and cultural theory. Through a consideration of the novels as a genre, Rabinowitz is able to theorize about the interrelationship of class and gender in American culture.Rabinowitz shows that these novels, generally dismissed as marginal by scholars of the literary and political cultures of the 1930s, are in fact integral to the study of American fiction produced during the decade. Relying on recent feminist scholarship, she reformulates the history of literary radicalism to demonstrate the significance of these women writers and to provide a deeper understanding of their work for twentieth-century American cultural studies in general.
