Abstract

Ce livre est le premier sur la sociologie chinoise en français. Privée d’existence pendant trente ans, la sociologie chinoise a été refondée en 1979. Ce tournant dans l’histoire internationale de la pensée, ainsi que l’intégration des théories occidentales, la restructuration de la discipline, et la multiplication des enquêtes qualitatives comme quantitatives qui ont été accomplie depuis, ne demeurent que trop méconnues. Ce livre donne la parole à des sociologues chinois, témoins éminents de ce renouveau. L’État, la ville, le marché : en nous faisant entrer dans ces différents mondes sociaux de la Chine qui constituent aussi des thèmes majeurs de leurs recherches, c’est la réalité même de la transition qu’ils nous font saisir. Ainsi voit-on s’affirmer, au cours de ces études souvent étonnantes, toujours passionnantes, une dynamique intellectuelle, originale, créative et vigoureuse au sein d’une société en grande transformation, appelée à marquer la sociologie contemporaine et à rénover notre vision tant de la Chine que du monde. Un livre-événement pour tous ceux intéressés par la marche du siècle qui s’ouvre.

Abstract

""Is the future about to close in, or is it open to new horizons? For anthropologist Tim Ingold, the root of our difficulty in facing up to the future lies in the way we think about generations. We imagine them as layers, succeeding one another like sheets in a stack. This view figures as a largely unquestioned backdrop to discussions of evolution, life and death, longevity, extinction, sustainability, education, climate change, and other matters of contemporary concern. What if we were to think of generations, instead, as wrapping around one another along their length, more like fibres in a rope than stacked sheets? In this compelling new book, Ingold argues that a return to the idea that life is forged in the collaboration of overlapping generations might not only assuage some of our anxieties, but also offer a lasting foundation for future coexistence. But it would mean having to abandon our faith both in the inevitability of progress, and in the ability of science and technology to cushion humanity from environmental impacts. A perfect world is not around the corner, nor will our troubles ever end. Nevertheless, for as long as life continues, there is hope for generations to come.""--

Abstract

In December 2012, the exuberant video "Gangnam Style" became the first YouTube clip to be viewed more than one billion times. Thousands of its viewers responded by creating and posting their own variations of the video--"Mitt Romney Style, " "NASA Johnson Style, " "Egyptian Style, " and many others. "Gangnam Style" (and its attendant parodies, imitations, and derivations) is one of the most famous examples of an Internet meme: a piece of digital content that spreads quickly around the web in various iterations and becomes a shared cultural experience. In this book, Limor Shifman investigates Internet memes and what they tell us about digital culture. Shifman discusses a series of well-known Internet memes -- including "Leave Britney Alone, " the pepper-spraying cop, LOLCats, Scumbag Steve, and Occupy Wall Street's "We Are the 99 Percent." She offers a novel definition of Internet memes: digital content units with common characteristics, created with awareness of each other, and circulated, imitated, and transformed via the Internet by many users. She differentiates memes from virals; analyzes what makes memes and virals successful; describes popular meme genres; discusses memes as new modes of political participation in democratic and nondemocratic regimes; and examines memes as agents of globalization. Memes, Shifman argues, encapsulate some of the most fundamental aspects of the Internet in general and of the participatory Web 2.0 culture in particular. Internet memes may be entertaining, but in this book Limor Shifman makes a compelling argument for taking them seriously.

Abstract

Over the last several decades, mathematical models have become central to the study of social evolution, both in biology and the social sciences. But students in these disciplines often seriously lack the tools to understand them. A primer on behavioral modeling that includes both mathematics and evolutionary theory, 'Mathematical Models of Social Evolution 'aims to make the student and professional researcher in biology and the social sciences fully conversant in the language of the field. Teaching biological concepts from which models can be developed, Richard McElreath and Robert Boyd introduce readers to many of the typical mathematical tools that are used to analyze evolutionary models and end each chapter with a set of problems that draw upon these techniques. 'Mathematical Models of Social Evolution 'equips behaviorists and evolutionary biologists with the mathematical knowledge to truly understand the models on which their research depends. Ultimately, McElreath and Boyd's goal is to impart the fundamental concepts that underlie modern biological understandings of the evolution of behavior so that readers will be able to more fully appreciate journal articles and scientific literature, and start building models of their own.
