La complexité croissante de la vie en société rend le changement social plus difficile. La transaction sociale constitue un bon outil pour comprendre et changer le monde. En 1978 et 1980, Jean Remy, Liliane Voyé et Émile Servais publiaient l'ouvrage fondateur de la transaction sociale, depuis longtemps épuisé, Produire ou reproduire ? en écho au débat qui opposait Pierre Bourdieu, défenseur de la reproduction de la société, à Alain Touraine, pour lequel il y avait production d'une société nouvelle par les mouvements sociaux. Entre ces deux visions incompatibles, les trois auteurs imaginaient des rapprochements ponctuels et partiels, ou transactions sociales. Contrairement à la transaction économique, la transaction sociale fait passer les valeurs avant les intérêts. Elle ne fait pas disparaître les conflits mais les « apprivoise » : la transaction sociale génère des compromis acceptables qui permettent de coopérer malgré des désaccords persistants. En rendant les textes majeurs accessibles à un large public, cet ouvrage en montre la fécondité comme outil d'analyse de la réalité sociale. Sa conceptualisation s'est enrichie et complexifiée en quarante ans grâce notamment aux travaux du comité de recherche « Transactions sociales, cultures, émancipation » de l'Association internationale des sociologues de langue française (AISLF).

For the editors of this collection, new materialisms have always been the entanglement of epistemology, ontology, ethics, and politics. Looking back to the notion of "situated knowledges" (Haraway, 1988) that - among others - "planted the seed for feminist new materialism" (van der Tuin, 2015, 26) - one sees how those (at least) four planes are entangled (Rogowska-Stangret, 2018) in order to bring forth "response-able" (Haraway, 2008) research. New materialism is thus an ethico-onto-epistemological framework (Barad, 2007; Revelles-Benavente, 2018) that by activating its ethico-politics helps to diagnose, infer, and transform gendered, environmental, anthropocentric, social injustices from a multidimensional angle. Social injustices are a driving motivation to pursue research and are the reason why the editors and authors of this Special Issue cannot understand new materialism without feminism (in the lines of eds. Hinton & Teusch, 2015). Contemporary feminist researchers are providing new materialisms with a transversal approach, (Yuval-Davis 1997) that comes from many different disciplines without canonizing back again knowledge creation and production and in hope that they will not enter back into classifixations (van der Tuin, 2015). It is "situated" (Haraway, 1988) research "response-able" (Haraway, 2008) to material-discursive practices that iterate in a dynamic conceptualization of matter.

This textbook is an introduction to the tourism and hospitality industry in British Columbia, and is written with a first year college and university audience in mind. It is a collaborative work with input from educators, industry leaders, employers, and past graduates of BC's tourism and hospitality management programs. All chapters have been reviewed by experts in the field. Each chapter is organized thematically moving from a global, then national and finally provincial context. Some chapters are quite global in focus while others concentrate primarily on British Columbia. Chapter content is based on available data and research, and input from collaborators. Each chapter features “Spotlight On” text boxes that highlight an organization, business, or other key component of the chapter's theme. “Take a Closer Look” features encourage students to do further reading on particular subjects. At the end of each chapter, key terms are presented in alphabetical order to help students gain confidence with terminology. These are followed by chapter exercises and a case study for in-depth exploration of the subject matter. Key terms are summarized in a Glossary at the end of the textbook.
