Abstract

Le contrôle social des individus et des populations se transforme. Au travail, à l'école, dans le domaine de l'action sociale, la logique sécuritaire ne tend-elle pas à se généraliser ? Mais toutes les formes de contrôle ne sont elles que coercition ? Et quelles sont les formes de résistance à ces évolutions ? Les auteurs, sociologues, politistes et historiens, présentent et analysent les résultats d'enquêtes concernant les nouvelles réglementations et catégories qui définissent le contrôle social, mais aussi les dispositifs qui les mettent en oeuvre et les pratiques ordinaires qui parfois s'y opposent. Ils éclairent et mettent en regard les enjeux sociaux liés aux transformations du contrôle dans les domaines de la statistique publique et du travail social, de la surveillance des salariés, des immigrés et des élèves, des institutions pénitentiaires et médico-sociales. Ils montrent comment ces métamorphoses du contrôle social doivent être comprises dans les récentes évolutions de l'économie du travail et de l'État, liées au néolibéralisme. Cet état des lieux, nuancé et engagé, éclaire la bataille politique qui confronte le souci de préserver les libertés individuelles fondamentales à celui d'assurer la sécurité civile ou l'efficacité des organisations. Appelant à renouveler, en théorie et en pratique, notre approche du contrôle social, il s'adresse aux citoyens, chercheurs et militants qui souhaitent mieux comprendre, pour les réformer ou s'y opposer, les diverses formes contemporaines du contrôle des individus et des populations.

Abstract

"Subaltern Lives uses biographical fragments of the lives of convicts, captives, sailors, slaves, indentured labourers and indigenous peoples to build a fascinating new picture of colonial life in the nineteenth-century Indian Ocean. Moving between India, Africa, Mauritius, Burma, Singapore, Ceylon, the Andaman Islands and the Australian colonies, Clare Anderson offers fresh readings of the nature and significance of 'networked' Empire. She reveals the importance of penal transportation for colonial expansion and sheds new light on convict experiences of penal settlements and colonies, as well as the relationship between convictism, punishment and colonial labour regimes. The book also explores the nature of colonial society during this period and embeds subaltern biographies into key events like the abolition of slavery, the Anglo-Sikh Wars and the Indian Revolt of 1857. This is an important new perspective on British colonialism which also opens up new possibilities for the writing of history itself"-- "This book explores fragments from the lives of socially marginal men and women who were associated with Indian Ocean penal settlements and colonies in the nineteenth century. It interrogates colonialism from a subaltern history perspective, and places penal transportation in a broad global context. It takes a life-writing approach, weaving together biographical snapshots of convicts - ordinary Indians and Eurasians; African slaves, apprentices and ex-slaves; indentured labourers; soldiers and rebels - with the lives of sailors, indigenous peoples and the 'poor whites' of Empire. Subaltern Lives brings into focus convict experiences of transportation and penal settlements and colonies, as well as the relationship between convictism, punishment and colonial labour regimes. It also cuts a slice into society and social transformation in the nineteenth century, analysing the making of colonial identities, the nature of social capital in the colonial context, and networks of Empire across the Indian Ocean and beyond"--

Abstract

Hollywood's Africa after 1994 investigates Hollywood's colonial film legacy in the post apartheid era, and contemplates what has changed in the West's representations of Africa. How do we read twenty-first-century projections of human rights issues-child soldiers, genocide, the exploitation of the poor by multinational corporations, dictatorial rule, truth and reconciliation-within the contexts of celebrity humanitarianism, "new" military humanitarianism, and Western support for regime change in Africa and beyond? A number of films after 1994, such as Black Hawk Down, Hotel Rwand

Abstract

This book probes the nature of the clash of cultures as a process of identification and classification of the unknown. 'There is no world of thought that is not a world of language and one sees of the world only what is provided for by language' (Walter Benjamin, 1936). In the medieval Mediterranean, cultural groups were frequently labelled, fixed, and identified by language, and these linguistic groupings were consistently in states of conflict and/or exchange. This collection explores various expressions of cultural clash and exchange, and examines some of the ways in which language was used to express difference, to mark out cultural difference, and to further label those cultures--often as alien and inferior, but sometimes as different and worthy of respect. This theme unites scholars coming from a range of perspectives and engaging with a whole series of cultural interchanges and conflicts. It brings together work on a wide range of peoples--Latins, Byzantines, Muslims, and Jews--commenting on and writing about each other, as well as a wide variety of different genres, from theology to farce. This volume seeks to offer a broad and wide-ranging approach to understanding the world at the time of the crusades through the words of participants and observers.

Abstract

In the wake of the new uprising in the Middle East, this insightful collection explores issues of power, politics and inequality in Egypt. It argues that the notion of marginality masks the true power relations that perpetuate poverty and exclusion. Analysing key areas of Egyptian political economy, the book concludes that marginalization does not mean total exclusion. What is marginalized can play a dynamic part in the future - as is the case with the revolution that toppled Mubarak.
