Abstract

Though its coinage can be traced back to a sixteenth-century translation of Leviticus, the term "scapegoat" has enjoyed a long and varied history of both scholarly and everyday uses. While WilliamTyndale employed it to describe one of two goats chosen by lot to escape the Day of Atonement sacrifices with its life, the expression was soon far more widely used to name victims of false accusation and unwarranted punishment. As such, the scapegoat figures prominently in contemporary theories of violence, from its elevation by Frazer to a ritual category in his ethnological opus The Golden Bough

Abstract

Scapegoats are a universal phenomenon, appearing in all societies at all times in groups large and small, in public and private organizations. Hardly a week passes without some media reference to someone or something being made a scapegoat. Tom Douglas examines the process of scapegoating from the perspectives of victims and perpetrators, tracing its development from earliest times as rite of atonement to the modern forms of the avoidance of blame and the victimisation of innocents. The differences and similarities between the ancient and modern forms are examined to reveal that despite the mo

Abstract

La vie des groupes, des familles, des institutions est traversée de tensions issues des conflits intrapsychiques de l’humain. Ces conflits produisent des symptômes individuels et s’inscrivent dans l’histoire des groupes. Pris dans les conflits du désir mimétique et de l’interindividualité, le bouc émissaire peut devenir victime émissaire. Cet ouvrage décrypte les processus de formation du bouc émissaire dans les familles et les lieux de travail. Quatre formes prototypiques sont repérées. La violence dans les situations de bouc émissaire se manifeste sous la forme de maltraitance, d’abus sexuel, d’exclusion, d’intimidation et de vulnérabilité. L’auteur présente une modélisation des dynamiques du bouc émissaire qui permettent d’envisager différentes interventions pour éviter ou traiter ces violences. Le silence et le déni peuvent être évités, ainsi que le basculement vers la victime émissaire. Des dispositifs opérationnels sont proposés afin de prendre en compte les inévitables conflits à l’intérieur des groupes et d’anticiper leurs dérèglements destructeurs. Cet ouvrage propose également aux cliniciens des cadres et des stratégies d’intervention, de régulation, de médiation et d’accompagnement psychologique des victimes et du groupe.

Abstract

This volume is a collection of essays on black short stories written between 1998 and 1976. It aims to say something about the black short story as a genre and the development of the racial situation in America as well. The primary aim is to introduce the reader to this long neglected genre of black fiction. In contrast to the black novel, the short story has hardly been given extensive criticism, let alone serious attention. The individual essays of this collection aim at presenting new points of critical orientation in the hope of reviving and fostering further discussions.
