Abstract

This text argues that major twentieth-century American writers such as Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and David Foster Wallace provocatively challenge the ethos of productivity by filtering their ethical interventions through culturally stigmatised imagery of laziness.

Abstract

Research on procrastination has grown exponentially in recent years. Studies have revealed that procrastination is an issue of self-regulation failure, and specifically misregulation of emotional states-not simply a time management problem as often presumed. This maladaptive coping strategy is a risk factor not only for poor mental health, but also poor physical health and other aspects of well-being. Procrastination, Health, and Well-Being brings together new and established researchers and theorists who make important connections between procrastination and health. The first section of the book provides an overview of current conceptualizations and philosophical issues in understanding how procrastination relates to health and well-being including a critical discussion of the assumptions and rationalizations that are inherent to procrastination. The next section of the book focuses on current theory and research highlighting the issues and implications of procrastination for physical health and health behaviors, while the third section presents current perspectives on the interrelationships between procrastination and psychological well-being. The volume concludes with an overview of potential areas for future research in the growing field of procrastination, health, and well-being.

Abstract

Partant d'une violence symbolique et d'un imaginaire méconnu, Laurent Vidal fait la genèse des hommes lents, ces individus mis à l'écart par l'idéologie du Progrès. On y croise tour à tour un Indien paresseux et un colonisé indolent, des ouvriers indisciplinés et, plus proches de nous, le migrant en attente ou le travailleur fainéant. Mais l'auteur révèle aussi la façon dont ces hommes s'emparent de la lenteur pour subvertir la modernité : de l'oisiveté revendiquée aux ruses déployées pour s'approprier des espaces assignés, les hommes lents créent des rythmes inouïs, jusque dans les musiques syncopées du jazz ou de la samba. En inventant de nouveaux modes d'action fondés sur les ruptures de rythme, ils nous offrent un autre regard sur l'émancipation. Mêlant la rigueur de l'historien à la sensibilité de l'écrivain, cet essai ouvre des horizons inédits pour repenser notre rapport à la liberté.
