Community Intervention: Clinical Sociology Perspectives showcases important efforts to improve the quality of life in communities around the world. The book, a project of the clinical sociology division of the International Sociological Association, describes the interdisciplinary field of clinical sociology in relation to community improvement. The first part of the book covers important concepts and tools for community intervention and identifies a variety of approaches to community research with an emphasis on research that centrally involves community members. The chapters in the second part of the volume focus on projects in a broad range of countries, covering topics such as involving residents in urban renewal projects, developing healthy communities, encouraging socioeconomic development, improving the life of immigrants, helping communities deal with climate change, establishing human rights cities, encouraging empowerment and creating an inclusive community. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of profiles about some of the outstanding work in community intervention over the last 100 years. These profiles are of Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams; community activist Saul Alinsky; human rights and environmental activist Wangari Maathai; and participatory action research pioneer Orlando Fals Borda. Written by scholar-practitioners as well as analysts, the book provides essential commentary regarding community intervention efforts. .

Ce livre porte sur les rapports entre le travail et la subjectivité dans le contexte des nombreuses transformations en cours dans le monde du travail. Il vise à analyser et à critiquer les nouvelles pratiques managériales qui s’emploient à mobiliser la subjectivité au travail. Les auteurs, sociologues, économistes, psychosociologues, psychanalystes et théoriciens de la gestion, présentent d’abord les changements économiques, organisationnels et socioculturels qui président à la mise en forme du capitalisme contemporain. Ensuite, ils examinent et critiquent les nouvelles pratiques managériales qui visent à mobiliser la subjectivité des travailleurs aux fins de la valorisation du capital. Tout au long de l’ouvrage, les effets psychosociologiques de telles pratiques sont analysés de près, de même que les réponses des travailleurs qui revêtent diverses formes d’opposition et de résistance individuelle et collective. Ont contribué au présent ouvrage : Guy Bellemare, Marie-Pierre Bourdages-Sylvain, Robert Boyer, Jean-François Chanlat, Pierre-Antoine Chardel, Olivier Cousin, Eugène Enriquez, Vincent de Gaulejac, Fabienne Hanique, Danièle Linhart, Danilo Martuccelli, Dominique Méda, Daniel Mercure, Marcelo Otero, Jacques Rhéaume, Christian Thuderoz et Michel Wieviorka.
