This fascinating book explores the pervasive influence of pacifism on Victorian feminism. Drawing on previously unused source material, it provides an account of Victorian women who campaigned for peace and the many feminists who incorporated pacifist ideas into their writing on women and women's work. It explores feminists' ideas about the role of women within the empire, their eligibility for citizenship and their ability to act as moral guardians in public life. Brown shows that such ideas made use - in varying ways - of gendered understandings of the role of force and the relevance of arbitration and other pacifist strategies. 'The truest for of patriotism' examines the work of a wide range of individuals and organisations, from well-known feminists such as Lydia Becker, Josephine Butler and Millicent Garrett Fawcett, to lesser-known figures such as the Quaker pacifists Ellen Robinson and Priscilla Peckover. Women's work within male-dominated organisations, such as the Peace Society and the International Arbitration and Peace Association, is covered alongside single-sex organisations, such as the International Council of Women. Also reviewed are the arguments put forward in feminist journals like the Englishwoman's Review and the Women's Penny Paper. Brown uncovers a wide range of pacifist, internationalist and anti-imperialist strands in Victorian feminist thought, focusing on how these ideas developed within the political and organisational context of the time. This book will be of interest to anyone studying nineteenth-century social movements, and essential reading for those with an interest in the history of British feminism.

Durant la minorité de Charles II, des polémiques opposent Juan José de Austria, fils naturel de Philippe IV, aux favoris successifs de la reine-mère qui exerce la régence. Au terme de guerres de plumes, ce prince obtient l’exil des favoris et devient Premier ministre. Sa trajectoire originale met en évidence des pratiques politiques qui, en misant sur la force de l’écrit, permettent de résister aux autorités — sans désobéir ouvertement — et de gravir les marches du pouvoir. Ainsi ces guerres de plumes ont-elles bouleversé les cultures politiques, modifié les pratiques de gouvernement et contribué, peut-être, à l’avènement d’une opinion publique. Las polémicas respecto a la minoría de edad de Carlos II enfrentaron a Juan José de Austria con los favoritos sucesivos de la regente. A través del análisis de su trayectoria peculiar, este libro revela prácticas políticas que, utilizando los poderes de la pluma, permiten resistir a las autoridades sin desobedecerlas abiertamente y, a la vez, escalar los peldaños del poder. Estas guerras de plumas contribuyeron sin duda al surgimiento de una opinión pública.

L’homme de Neandertal est sûrement l’un des hominidés les plus mystérieux de notre histoire. Ayant vécu pendant près de 200 000 ans en Europe sous des climats parfois très rudes, il a disparu mystérieusement vers -30 000 ans. Très proche de nous, ayant des capacités cérébrales égales aux nôtres, il est pourtant peu connu. Des polémiques concernant sa capacité à se structurer socialement font rage depuis des décennies. Cet ouvrage à l’approche méthodologique novatrice, réfléchit aux outils analytiques qui permettent de révéler des traits identitaires et de comprendre le cheminement de ces populations jusqu’à leur extinction. Dix séries lithiques (silex) du Bassin parisien datant du Weichselien ancien (de -110 000 à -70 000 ans environ) ont été observées selon une grille de lecture originale qui les confronte selon quatre échelles d’analyse. Si à une échelle générale les séries se sont révélées très proches, il en fut tout autrement selon une échelle d’analyse fine où cinq groupes ont été distingués. Analysés sous l’angle de la géographie culturelle, ces groupes révèlent des traditions techniques distinctes ainsi qu’une structuration tout à fait singulière de l’espace.

The world’s social, ecological and economic problems are so complex and diverse that therewill never be a “one-size-fits-all” model for social innovation. The very nature of social innovation as a new, better way of solving social problems means that it is not even in the interest of social innovation advocates to create tidy definitions, but rather to create environments that allow for the process of creative destruction with a social purpose to prosper. Inspired by a desire to deepen our understanding of the role of social innovation in addressing today’s most pressing challenges, authors Heloise Buckland and David Murillo explore four inspiring cases and define a new set of variables to help better understand the conditions under which social innovation can be most effective. These variables can be helpful for investors, governments, academic centres, foundations and individual entrepreneurs interested in measuring the potential of any given social innovation to bring about the much-needed systemic change to solve today’s complex challenges.This book builds on a track record of research and education in corporate social responsibility and social entrepreneurship at ESADE Business School’s Institute of Social Innovation. Building on an understanding of the key characteristics and challenges faced by social entrepreneurs, here authors undertake a deeper analysis of social innovation.

Jeudi 27 mai, fin d’après-midi, vous poussez la lourde porte d’un bâtiment ancien. Une vague odeur de naphtaline, de pierre et de carton. Vous cherchez le bureau du directeur, lieu dans lequel votre rendez-vous est prévu, pour évoquer la scolarité de votre fils. Secrétaires, infirmière, logopédiste, doyenne, enseignant « ordinaire » et « spécialisé », psychologue, concierge… Vous allez ce jour-là croiser un nombre impressionnant de personnes travaillant dans l’établissement scolaire. En quoi consiste leur travail quotidien ? Comment organisent-elles leurs activités, au jour le jour ? Comment leurs tâches s’articulent-elles entre elles ? L’ambition de cet ouvrage collectif est de décrire le travail, souvent méconnu et parfois invisible, réalisé par ces divers professionnels au sein des établissements scolaires. Il propose des entrées diversifiées sur le travail à l’école, abordant tout autant l’insertion professionnelle, le travail des enseignants, des élèves, des infirmières, des psychologues, des directeurs, des parents ou encore des concierges, afin de donner un aperçu de l’évolution, des divisions et des contradictions qui caractérisent le « travail pédagogique » dans son ensemble. Avec une volonté de dépasser les oppositions préconstruites, notamment celle entre « travail prescrit » et « travail réel », le livre traite des multiples ajustements auxquels les individus ont recours dans leur quotidien. Il révèle leurs pratiques ordinaires, tout en rendant compte des variations normatives et des diverses prescriptions qui leur sont adressées, à l’intérieur comme hors des murs de l’école.

Nanochemistry: Chemistry of Nanoparticle Formation and Interactions provides an overview of the chemistry aspects of nanoparticle science, including nanoparticle synthesis, chemical properties, stability, applications and self-assembly behavior. The critical concepts discussed in this book represent the necessary toolbox for enabling the rational design of nanoparticle-based materials for target applications. After an introduction to standard analytical techniques used for nanoparticle characterization, four separate chapters cover inorganic, organic, polymer nanoparticles, and carbon nanostructures to highlight the synthetic protocols, structural intricacies, and chemical properties specific to each of these material classes.
