Comment faire société malgré les attentats ? Comment retisser le lien rompu par la violence terroriste ? Des victimes des attentats de Paris et Bruxelles, des pères et mères de jeunes engagés dans l’idéologie djihadiste, parfois auteurs de ces attaques, des intervenants de première ligne concernés par ces violences extrêmes ont éprouvé la nécessité de se retrouver pour se reconstruire après avoir vécu l’horreur. Ils témoignent de l’importance d’articuler le besoin de soigner leurs traumatismes – physiques, psychiques, familiaux, sociaux – et le travail collectif, pour lutter contre les violences, le racisme, l’antisémitisme, le manichéisme, les discours de haine. Affronter ensemble les épreuves vécues par chacun a donné confiance au groupe pour développer des actions citoyennes du côté des écoles, du système carcéral, de la justice, de la police, des médias, du monde artistique, de la recherche et enfin du monde politique. La démarche de ce groupe offre une lueur d’espérance pour refuser l’engrenage de la terreur et restaurer l’humanité commune qui fonde notre être ensemble. « Si nous pouvons le faire, pourquoi la société n’y arriverait pas ? » témoigne Fatima dont le fils est décédé en Syrie.

This book focuses on modes of cultural belonging in Qubec. It looks at recent literary memoir, autobiographical fiction, and documentary testimony. Through four in-depth case studies of cultural creators, one Indigenous and three non-Indigenous, Dervila Cooke discusses multicultural and ethnically diverse society in Qubec, examining current tensions, challenges, and opportunities. Works studied range from Abla Farhoud's first novel in 1998 to Anita Aloisio's 2022 documentary film Calliari QC. Topics include the desire for freedom to self-ascribe and enact cultural identity, self-reinvention through fiction, expressions of Indigeneity in Naomi Fontaine, the term "Quebecois", especially after Bill 21, and the thorny question of integration of immigrants, discussed in relation to Akos Verboczy's Rhapsodie qubcoise. As with the companion volume on France, societal factors are discussed, here relating to the cultural renaissance of Indigenous writing, Farhoud's Libano-Quebecois context, and language laws in Quebec, including the foundational Bill 101 and the more recent Bill 96. Dervila Cooke teaches in the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies at Dublin City University, Ireland. She is the author of Present Pasts: Patrick Modiano's (Auto) Biographical Fictions (2005) and editor of New Work on Immigration and Identity in Contemporary France, Quebec and Ireland (2016), and of Modiano et limage (2012)

Mainstream economics assumes economic agents act and make decisions to maximize their utility. This model of economic behavior, based on rational choice theory, has come under increasing attack in economics because it does not accurately reflect the way people behave and reason. The shift towards a more realistic account of economic agents has been mostly associated with the rise of behavioral economics, which views individuals through the lens of bounded rationality. Identity, Capabilities, and Changing Economics goes further and uses identity analysis to build on this critique of the utility conception of individuals, arguing it should be replaced by a conception of economic agents in an uncertain world as socially embedded and identified with their capabilities. Written by one of the world's leading philosophers of economics, the book develops a new approach to economics' theory of the individual, explaining individuals as adaptive and reflexive rather than utility maximizing.

"In Nation and Empire as Two Trends of Political Organization in the Iron Age Levant MEI Hualong offers an analysis of national and imperial ideologies--two political principles that influenced the establishment, consolidation and expansion of trans-local/trans-tribal polities in the Iron Age Levant. By examining key terminologies, historical accounts and literary sources, MEI argues that the elites of ancient nations may attempt to reshape their political and cultural identity in imperial terms (vice versa, but to a lesser extent). The conceptual transformation from the one to the other is closely related to the political entity's consciousness and understanding of limits and boundaries: political and cultural, real and imagined"--

"This volume argues that Titus's invocation of Crete affected the ways early readers developed their identities. Using archaeological data, classical writings, and early Christian documents, he describes multiple traditions that circulated on Crete and throughout the Roman Empire concerning Cretan Zeus, Cretan social structure, and Cretan Judaism. He then uses these traditions to interpret Titus and explain how the letter would intersect with and affect readers' identities. Because readers had differing conceptions of Crete based on their location and access to and evaluation of Cretan traditions, readers would have developed their identities in multiple, conflictual, even contradictory ways"--
