Abstract

Long description: Indonesia, the state with the largest Muslim population in the world, is in a process of continuous societal transformation. From the perspective of Media and Communication Studies, recent political developments towards an increasingly consolidated democratic system are of great interest. The comparison with Germany may seem unusual and asymmetrical. The countries differ with regard to the religious and cultural practices, and media and social developments are neither intertwined nor similar at first glance. A closer look, however, reveals structural similarities between Germany and Indonesia: dynamics and regressions of political transformation under pressure from radical political movements; hyper-modernization in parts of the economies and social life-worlds of post-modern urbanization; a heritage of genocides and cultural struggles over the multi-ethnic and multi-religious fabrics of society. The book deals with the role media play in the course of these political, economic and cultural transformations. Do they ‘follow’ or ‘lead’ the changes in political systems and societies? What can countries learn from each other if they step outside the usual ethnocentric comparisons and engage in a more intense global dialogue? The book is a groundbreaking endeavour in comparative Media and Communication Studies and brings together wellknown researchers from hitherto largely separated academic communities.

Abstract

Si les biopolitiques consistent à faire entrer la vie humaine en politique, en classant et en hiérarchisant les populations, en agissant sur les formes de reproduction, c'est bien sur les corps qu'elles s'exercent, et en particulier les corps des femmes. Selon les époques et les lieux, le biopouvoir s'est pratiqué sous les formes étatiques, religieuses ou privées. Dans le cadre des empires coloniaux en Amérique latine, dans les Caraïbes et en Afrique, la mondialisation des biopolitiques a donné à l'appropriation et au contrôle des femmes une autre dimension. Les études de cas qui composent cet ouvrage tentent de l'éclairer. Le contrôle du corps féminin s'est mondialisé avec l'accaparement des terres et des corps chez les peuples conquis des Amériques. L'accès immédiat au plaisir sexuel devint l'une des motivations premières de la prise de possession. Mais cette quasi-mise en esclavage avait pour objectif à plus long terme de capter la force de travail des vaincus et leurs capacités reproductives, afin d'assurer l'existence d'une main-d'oeuvre nécessaire et d'accroître les profits qu'il en était tiré, entraînant des conflits d'intérêts entre dominants et dominés. Cet ouvrage met en évidence divers fonctionnements de ce biopouvoir (administration coloniale, Églises, philanthropes, tenancières de maison close) et de leurs effets sociaux. Face à l'oppression, les femmes ont néanmoins disposé de moyens de résistance : esclaves restant obstinément stériles ou supprimant leur enfant, prostituées essayant de s'enfuir des bordels, mères congolaises boudant les visites médicales pour nourrissons... Si elles n'ont pas changé la structure des rapports de genre, de classe ou de ± race , ces résistances individuelles ont laissé entrevoir une conscience qui ne manquera pas, par la suite, d'en modifier la forme.

Abstract

This book critically examines the relevance of the increasingly popular theories on relationality by interfacing those theories with the African (Shona) modes of engagement known as chivanhu (often erroneously narrowly translated as tradition). In other words, the book takes seriously concerns by African scholars that much of the theories that have been applied in Africa do not speak to relevance and faithfulness to the continent. Situated in a recent Zimbabwean context marked by multiple crises producing multiple forms of violence and want, the book examines the relevance of relational ontologies and epistemologies to the everyday life modes of engagements by villagers in a selected district. The book unflinchingly surfaces the strengths and weaknesses of popular theories while at the same time underlining the exigencies of theorising from Africa using African data as the millstones. By meticulously and painstakingly unpacking pertinent issues, the book provides unparalleled intellectual grit for the contemporary and increasingly popular discourses on (de-)coloniality and resilience in relation to the African peoples and their (often deliberately contested) environments, past, present and future. In other words, the book loudly sounds the bells for the battles to decolonise and transform Africa on Africa's own terms. This is a book that would be extremely useful to scholars, activists, theorists, policy makers and implementers as well as researchers interested not only in Africa's future trajectory but also in the simultaneities of temporalities and worlds that were sadly overshadowed by colonial epistemologies and ontologies for the past centuries.

Abstract

Les Nations unies ont récemment promulgué la mise en vigueur de la Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées. Ce traité international, contraignant pour les Etats qui le ratifient, est un évènement charnière. Il marque, dans l'histoire, le résultat des luttes du mouvement de défense des droits humains des personnes différentes dans leurs corps et leurs fonctionnalités, et vivant des situations d'exclusion et d'oppression sociale systémiques. Il ouvre sur des enjeux sociétaux contemporains ancrés dans une transformation radicale du sens du handicap. Il invite à la prise de conscience de la responsabilité de chaque société de procéder à une métamorphose inclusive fondée sur l'égalité des possibilités de contrôler sa vie pour chaque citoyen, quelles que soient ses différences. Une fois engagée sur son fil, la funambule doit maintenir son équilibre dans l'instant qui passe et aller jusqu'au bout. Pour chaque être humain, ce bout de la vie est ancré dans l'inconnu du futur et interdépendant de l'ensemble des fils qui tissent la toile, plus ou moins efficace, de la solidarité sociale de sa collectivité.

Abstract

Although children born in the 1970s were more educated than ever before, as adults they entered new labour markets that were de-regulated and precarious. Lesley Andres and Johanna Wyn discuss the consequences of education and labour policies in Canada and Australia, emphasizing their long-term impacts on health, well-being, and family formation. They conclude that these young adults bore the brunt of policies designed to bring about rapid changes in the nature of work. Despite their modest hopes and aspirations for security, those born in the 1970s became a vanguard generation as they negotiated the significant social and economic transformations of the 1990s."--Pub. desc "Secondary school graduates of the late 1980s and early 1990s have found themselves coping with economic insecurity, social change, and workplace restructuring. Drawing on studies that have recorded the lives of young people in two countries for over fifteen years, The Making of a Generation offers unique insight into the hopes, dreams, and trajectories of a generation.
