This book is a challenge to the concept of wellbeing as applied to children, suggesting that it should be understood at the level of the child, rather than a list of things that are needed in order to live well.

In Côte d'Ivoire, appearing modern is so important for success that many young men deplete their already meager resources to project an illusion of wealth in a fantastic display of Western imitation, spending far more than they can afford on brand name clothing, accessories, technology, and a robust nightlife. Such imitation, however, is not primarily meant to deceive-rather, as Sasha Newell argues in The Modernity Bluff, it is an explicit performance so valued in Côte d'Ivoire it has become a matter of national pride. Called bluffeurs, these young urban men operate in a system of cultural economy where reputation is essential for financial success. That reputation is measured by familiarity with and access to the fashionable and expensive, which leads to a paradoxical state of affairs in which the wasting of wealth is essential to its accumulation. Using the consumption of Western goods to express their cultural mastery over Western taste, Newell argues, bluffeurs engage a global hierarchy that is profoundly modern, one that values performance over authenticity­-highlighting the counterfeit nature of modernity itself.

Une trentaine d'universitaires, français et étrangers, ont choisi d'approfondir la question des élites sociales romaines et des groupes politiques, des solidarités de caste et des relations de clientèle. Ils livrent une série de contributions qui examinent ces élites sur le plan politique et judiciaire, familial et social, régional et local. De la République à la période des guerres civiles et au Principat, l'examen de ce groupe dominant permet de reconstituer les stratégies familiales et de replacer les parcours individuels dans le contexte plus large de l'histoire sociale italienne et provinciale (Afrique du Nord, Adriatique, Balkans, Gaule). Rôle des femmes dans la vie politique, place de l'amitié en Gaule, exils, distributions de sel à Rome, mémoire familiale et identité aristocratiques, promotion par les armes sont autant de facettes qui offrent de nouvelles perspectives pour connaître l'histoire de la société romaine.

What we think of our bodies and what we wear says something about who we are and how we belong. This was the same in the ancient world. Rosemary Canavan explores the imagery of clothing and body in the first century CE Christian writing. An examination of statuary, funerary monuments and coins in this geographical location contemporaneous with the letter's writing reveals how clothing and body images were understood. This is then placed in dialogue with the metaphorical use of clothing and body in other texts, especially the Letter to the Colossians. Social identity and rhetorical studies draw on archaeological, epigraphical, iconographical and literary sources to formulate a new approach to biblical interpretation aptly named "visual exegesis."
