Control Systems Theory, a newly developing theoretical perspective in the field of sociology, starts from an important insight into human behavior: that people attempt to control the world around them as they perceive it. This volume brings together for the first time the work of all of the most prominent sociologists contributing to the development of this flexible and wide-ranging theoretical paradigm.

Depuis la fin de la guerre froide, les politiques de la peur n'ont pas disparu. Au contraire. Leurs sources n'ont cessé de se multiplier, au point d'en faire un des adversaires les plus redoutables des démocraties libérales contemporaines. Certes, comme le rappelle Jean Delumeau, la peur est de tout temps. Si l'affect qu'elle représente connaît son déploiement le plus varié dans le cœur et l'esprit de l'homme, ses formes et ses défis se renouvellent de génération en génération. Aujourd'hui, ses objets et moyens de propagande sont d'une complexité et d'une ampleur inédites. Quant à sa gestion, elle est des plus problématiques : la confiance moderne dans la gestion scientifique des risques et des menaces est fortement ébranlée depuis le milieu du siècle dernier. En sorte qu'il n'est pas exagéré de dire qu'un des enjeux majeurs de nos sociétés est d'assurer en même temps la gestion éclairée des peurs et le contrôle social de ce qui est censé y remédier : les compétences. D'où les deux grands axes d'interrogation pris en charge par les leçons publiques organisées par l'École des sciences philosophiques et religieuses les années académiques 2003-2004 et 2004-2005. Le premier, « De quoi avons-nous peur ? », concerne l'investigation de la spécificité des peurs contemporaines ; le second, « La peur bonne ou mauvaise conseillère ? », a trait aux modes de gestion qui en sont proposés aujourd'hui.

In The Human Potential for Peace: An Anthropological Challenge to Assumptions about War and Violence, renowned anthropologist Douglas P. Fry shows how anthropology--with its expansive time frame and comparative orientation--can provide unique insights into the nature of war and the potential for peace. Challenging the traditional view that humans are by nature primarily violent and warlike, Professor Fry argues that along with the capacity for aggression humans also possess a strong ability to prevent, limit, and resolve conflicts without violence. Raising philosophy of science issues, the author shows that cultural beliefs asserting the inevitability of violence and war can bias our interpretations, affect our views of ourselves, and may even blind us to the possibility of achieving security without war. Fry draws on data from cultural anthropology, archaeology, and sociology as well as from behavioral ecology and evolutionary biology to construct a biosocial argument that challenges a host of commonly held assumptions. The Human Potential for Peace includes ethnographic examples from around the globe, findings from Fry's research among the Zapotec of Mexico, and results of cross-cultural studies on warfare. In showing that conflict resolution exists across cultures and by documenting the existence of numerous peaceful societies, it demonstrates that dealing with conflict without violence is not merely a utopian dream. The book also explores several highly publicized and interesting controversies, including Freeman's critique of Margaret Mead's writings on Samoan warfare; Napoleon Chagnon's claims about the Yanomam"o; and ongoing evolutionary debates about whether "hunter-gatherers" are peaceful or warlike. The Human Potential for Peace is ideal for undergraduate courses in political and legal anthropology, the anthropology of peace and conflict, peace studies, political sociology, and the sociology of war and violence.
