Abstract

Les études scientifiques montrent que la consommation de substances, les comportements déviants et la recherche de sensations sont des phénomènes étroitement liés à l’adolescence, période de changements et de prise de risques, la consommation récréative d’ecstasy/MDMA s’y inscrit chez certains jeunes. Certaines études ont évalué l’importance que jouent les attentes/croyances positives liées à la consommation sur la prise d’ecstasy. Celles-ci sont une puissante motivation à la consommation. Ce mémoire a deux objectifs principaux : mettre en évidence les relations et les influences qui règnent entre ces différentes variables et tenter une meilleure compréhension du phénomène qui nous intéresse. 107 adolescents scolarisés ont complété un questionnaire évaluant leurs consommations, leur niveau de recherche de sensations, leurs croyances liées à l’ecstasy et leurs comportements dits délinquants. 7 autres jeunes ont témoigné de leurs expériences et motivations à consommer lors d’entretiens semi-directifs. Ces discours ont été traités par analyse thématique. Nos hypothèses ont été en majeure partie vérifiées, bien que la petite taille de l’échantillon et des sous-groupes qui le constituaient ait été un frein statistique évident. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence des influences significatives de la sous-dimension « désinhibition » de la recherche de sensations ainsi que des croyances positives sur la consommation d’ecstasy, mais aussi une influence de la désinhibition sur les croyances positives. De plus, nous avons pu confirmer le lien existant entre la délinquance et la consommation d’ecstasy, d’une part, mais aussi d’autres substances courantes. Les différences de consommations (en termes de quantité) entre les consommateurs d’ecstasy et les non consommateurs d’ecstasy ont pu être partiellement mises en évidence. Par contre, nous n’avons pas été en mesure de prouver que les attentes liées à la consommation d’ecstasy différent selon les deux groupes précités. Ces résultats nous permettent de penser qu’il est important de prendre en compte les nombreux facteurs qui influencent la consommation de drogues, et d’ecstasy particulièrement. D’autres recherches pourraient imaginer créer un modèle explicatif plus global qui permettrait de rendre compte des influences multiples qui règnent entre les différentes variables que nous avons abordées.

Abstract

So-called altered states of consciousness (ASC) are an intriguing, still under-researched topic, with profound neuropsychological and epistemological implications. In the last few decades there has been increasing multidisciplinary interest in consciousness and ASC, a term encompassing a wide range of pathological and non-pathological conditions, including dreaming, near-death experiences (NDEs), hypnagogic states, hallucinogenic experiences, epileptic seizures, psychotic symptoms, coma, and minimally conscious states. There has also been considerable research on procedures that may affect ASC including hypnosis and various forms of meditation. Since the term altered implies for some abnormality or dysfunction, the concept of anomalous experiences (not necessarily implying pathology) is increasingly used and more general.The term non-ordinary mental expressions (NOME) encompasses both anomalous (at least for a particular culture at a particular time) experiences and related neuropsychological processes and induction procedures. Our use of non-ordinary: a) does not assume pathology; and b) is suitable for sophisticated and positive mental activities, including, creativity, intuition, and some forms of spirituality. We use the term mind to include both conscious and preconscious processes, and question the notion that, “ordinary,” waking consciousness provides the only epistemologically valid stance with regard to the mind and its interactions with reality. Similarly, although genius and madness both imply something beyond normal, they differ importantly in their ontology and implications.In short, NOME refers to both experiences and procedures that seek to change short- or long-term psychological processes. Regarding the latter, meditation is an intentional activity, calling for training of attention and reflective awareness, and varying in specific procedures and outcomes. With regard to an absence of pathology, NDEs, which have several features in common with mystical experiences, may occur in the absence of any brain disorder and bring about positive changes. Reductionist interpretations of NDEs as pathophysiological do not explain nor encompass the whole range of their phenomenology. Instead, brain areas and neurotransmitters potentially involved in these experiences may provide a common terrain for both pathological and non-pathological mind expressions.

Abstract

A fun and fact-filled A-Z treasury for anyone with a head on their shoulders, Neuropedia journeys into the mysteries and marvels of the three pounds of tissue between your ears—the brain. Eric Chudler takes you on a breathtaking tour of the nervous system with dozens of entries that explore the structure and function of the brain and cover topics such as the spinal cord and nerve cells, the methods of neuroscientific research, and the visionary scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding what makes each of us who we are. The brain has fascinated and puzzled researchers, physicians, and philosophers for thousands of years and captivated us with each new discovery. This compendium of neuroscientific wonders is brimming with facts and insights, helping us to make sense of our current understanding of the nervous system while identifying the frontiers in our knowledge that remain unexplored. Chudler guides readers through a variety of rare and common neurological disorders such as alien hand disorder, Capgras syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke, and discusses the latest brain-imaging methods used to diagnose them. He discusses neurochemicals, neurotoxins, and lifesaving drugs, and offers bold perspectives on human consciousness that enable us to better appreciate our place in nature. With marvelous illustrations by Kelly Chudler, Neuropedia is an informative and entertaining trip into the inner world of the brain.

Abstract

We cannot, the author argues, adequately understand the religious imagination without knowing the historical, social, and cultural matrices from which it arises. Accordingly, his book explores the Fang culture of Gabon as a set of contexts from which emerges the Bwiti religion. In addition to experience with missionary Christianity, Bwiti uses a great reservoir of images and ideas from its own past. Professor Fernandez analyzes how they are recreated into a compelling religious universe, an equatorial microcosm. Part I, a detailed ethnographic account of Fang culture after colonial encounter, addresses the attendant problems. The author discusses the European influence on the self-concept of the Fang, family life and kinship, and political and economic relationships. Part II analyzes in greater detail the religious implications of European administration and missionary efforts. In Part III the author shows how the malaise and increasing isolation of part of Fang culture achieve some assuagement of the Bwiti religion, which seeks a reconciliation of the past and present. James W. Fernandez is Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University and author of many studies in this discipline. Originally published in 1982.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Cette troisième édition des Annales de l'Architecture en Flandre, 1996-1997, publiées par le Ministère de la Communauté flamande, passe en revue les récentes évolutions de l'architecture et l'urbanisme en Flandre et à Bruxelles. En guise d'introduction, une série d'articles présentent une vision critique sur la situation actuelle en mettant en exergue le rôle de l'architecture en matière d'urbanisme, de logement social, de commandes publiques et la politique communale. La partie centrale de cet ouvrage consiste en une série de projets réalisés en 1996 et 1997, qu'il s'agisse de rénovations intérieures à petite échelle ou de grands immeubles de bureaux. Enfin, cet ouvrage contient également une liste des expositions, publications et prix d'architecture au cours de la période considérée. L'ensemble en fait une source d'information précieuse et un document qui offre une base au débat architectural en Flandre. (extrait du dos de la couverture)
