There are a host of books about fear but, as yet, there has been little attempt to methodically and systemically assess how fear emerges and is targeted. This highly readable yet rigorous book sets about the methodical assessment of fear as an emergent property. Working from the personal experience of fear as 'everyman', and then using examples and case studies, it explores the main principles which lie behind the manifestation of fear of all kinds. Using climate change as its specific point of focus, fear is seen to be a major force in problem assessment and analysis and, by accident or intention, a significant confusion to human decision making. By the systemic development of the main features of the Paradigm of Fear and the identification of Fear Amplifying and Fear Attenuating systems, the book demonstrates how fear can be contained, how new social forms can arise and how new behaviours and social qualities can mitigate the Formations of Terror.

La doctrine de la résistance non violente, lorsqu'elle est appliquée dans le champ de la psychothérapie, avec des enfants et des adolescents violents, permet de trouver un dénominateur commun entre le jeune et son entourage et d'éviter ainsi l'escalade. Inspiré des actions et doctrines socio-politiques de grandes figures comme Gandhi ou Martin Luther King, Haim Omer décline la résistance non violente dans le domaine de la psychothérapie. Cette méthode repose sur l'affirmation d'une présence parentale forte, qui peut s'appuyer sur les relations sociales et familiales des jeunes concernés. L'efficacité de cette forme multi-facette d'autorité est illustrée richement. Grâce à un manuel d'instructions détaillées, le thérapeute peut ainsi proposer aux parents d'enfants violents ou autodestructeurs un éventail de solutions concrètes pour éviter l'escalade et tenter de rétablir la relation. Les techniques développées sont immédiatement applicables au quotidien. Premier développement structuré de la méthode non violente en psychothérapie, ce livre est un outil de référence destiné aux psychologues, psychothérapeutes et autres professionnels de la santé mentale. Il pourra également intéresser l'entourage des jeunes aux comportements extrêmes.

The text explores the phenomenon of violence, retracing the sociological theory from the classical paradigms to the frontier of interpretative readings outlined in the digital society age. The aim is to arrive at an interpretation on violence and the possible connections that go from traditional society, in the historiographic sense of action, to the challenges proposed by contemporary society. What is the form that violence takes today? Which are the indicators that allow you to recognize it? Following these reflections, this book raises the question about the social nature of violence in the many forms in which it manifests itself. The analysis that is proposed is therefore that of seeking the widespread dimensions within which the contemporary individual acts, as well as identifying the indicators that, through functional categories, can prevent and combat violence.

"Los once cuentos reunidos en este libro dibujan el fantasma de una constelación. Y el signo que preside esta constelación es el de la Violencia. La superficie más honda es un bestiario del hombre como lobo de si mismo: de la irida intimidad del terror familiar hasta la voracidad de un linchamiento, fisico o mediático, la ira y la erosión son aqui las soberanas. Como si los personajes fueran peones de una voluntad vaporosa pero total, el destino personal y el devenir social actfian en estos relatos como una fuerza anónima que lo ordena todo. Es decir: que lo disuelve todo. Con un estilo implacable, Emiliano Monge construye precisas atmósferas de opresión. Desde las primeras palabras de cada cuento, se insinúa una vaguedad acechante, un vacio que se expande feroz hasta Ilevar a los microuniversos a su disolución final. Agujeros negros de ironia se abren por todas partes, pero en este caso el humor no ofrece un alivio o una salida, sino que hace acin más profunda la corrosión. Personajes -y lectores- se descubren sospechando que quizás nunca han estado aqui, en esta delgada profundidad que llamamos mundo, y al final no queda mis consuelo que el de la desbandada."--Page 4 of cover.

Challenging the prevailing belief that organised violence is experiencing historically continuous decline, this book provides an in-depth sociological analysis that shows organised violence is, in fact, on the rise. Malešević demonstrates that violence is determined by organisational capacity, ideological penetration and micro-solidarity, rather than biological tendencies, meaning that despite pre-modern societies being exposed to spectacles of cruelty and torture, such societies had no organisational means to systematically slaughter millions of individuals. Malešević suggests that violence should not be analysed as just an event or process, but also via changing perceptions of those events and processes, and by linking this to broader social transformations on the inter-polity and inter-group levels he makes his key argument that organised violence has proliferated. Focusing on wars, revolutions, genocides and terrorism, this book shows how modern social organisations utilise ideology and micro-solidarity to mobilise public support for mass scale violence.

Cet ouvrage comporte une série d'études sur la question de la violence dans la pensée du XXe siècle. Chaque étude interroge à sa façon la circularité critique que la question de la violence introduit entre pensée politique et anthropologie. À partir d'Arendt, de Fanon ou d'Althusser, de Deligny ou de Girard, de Deleuze ou de Balibar, chacune met en question la possibilité d'une fondation anthropologique de la politique, et la possibilité d'un discours anthropologique qui ne présuppose déjà une politique.

La « radicalisation » est sur toutes les lèvres. Mais que veut réellement dire ce terme ? Étymologiquement, c'est le retour aux racines (du latin radix). L'islam radical ne promet pas autre chose, ainsi que l'ultra-gauchisme, le fascisme, les sectes… Tous proposent aux individus de se fondre dans un groupe soudé, à la fois victime et tout-puissant. Ce qui s'y oppose sera combattu, à commencer par les différences, parfois jusqu'au sacrifice ultime. D'où vient un tel désir de fusion ? Pourquoi nous-mêmes avons-nous parfois l'idée que les racines sont préférables aux fruits ? Pourquoi partir en quête de cette unité absolue, qu'elle soit religieuse, politique, mais aussi amoureuse, professionnelle ou amicale, au risque de s'y perdre ? Dans cet essai, Thomas Bouvatier montre comment la pensée radicale entraîne une dépendance de l'individu à l'égard d'un groupe fusionnel, et pourquoi il est urgent d'apprendre à s'en défendre, individuellement et collectivement.
