Book excerpt: "Ce livre offre un compte rendu fascinant, divertissant et perspicace de la façon dont la politique, le profit et le plaisir ont façonné les attitudes contemporaines à l’égard des substances psychoactives." Jack H. Mendelson, Science Nous vivons dans un monde environné de toutes parts par les drogues, licites ou non, douces ou dures, utilisées à des fins médicales ou récréatives. En présentant une synthèse de la circulation des drogues à l’échelle planétaire et de leurs conséquences sur les civilisations, ce livre montre aussi comment ce flux de ressources psychoactives a pu être exploité avec succès. Il révèle aussi pourquoi, en dépit des énormes profits et revenus provenant des taxes, les gouvernements ont fini par changer leur fusil d’épaule en restreignant ou en prohibant certaines de ces drogues... mais pas toutes.

Book excerpt: "Nous vivons dans un monde environné de toutes parts par les drogues, licites ou non, douces ou dures, utilisées à des fins médicales ou récréatives. Cette abondance s’explique par le « révolution psychoactive », un phénomène débutant avec le commerce transocéanique et les empires coloniaux qui se développent à partir du XVIe siècle. Aux boissons alcooliques et caféinées, au tabac, au cannabis et à la coca se sont ensuite ajoutées des substances raffinées telles que la cocaïne, l’opium, la morphine et l’héroïne; enfin, au cours des dernières décennies, les marchés interlopes ont été submergés par les drogues semi-synthétiques ou synthétiques telles que la métamphétamine. Ces substances psychoactives ont eu (et continuent d’avoir) de graves répercussions, aussi bien sur les écosystèmes que sur la science médicale, aussi bien sur la scène politique que dans les microcosmes urbains ou périphériques. En présentant une synthèse de la circulation des drogues à l’échelle planétaire et de leurs conséquences sur les civilisations, ce livre montre aussi comment ce flux de ressources psychoactives a pu être exploité avec succès. Il révèle aussi pourquoi, en dépit des énormes profits et revenus provenant des taxes, les gouvernements ont fini par changer leur fusil d’épaule en restreignant ou en prohibant certaines de ces drogues... mais pas toutes."--Page 4 de la couverture

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notre monde est littéralement submergé de drogues, licites ou non, douces ou dures, utilisées à des fins médicales ou récréatives. En effet, dès le XVIe siècle, à la faveur des échanges commerciaux croissants entre les empires et leurs colonies, le nombre et la puissance des drogues disponibles augmentent de manière exponentielle et, ce faisant, multiplient les occasions de s'enivrer ou de se droguer, créant ainsi une " révolution psychoactive ". Qu'il s'agisse de boissons. alcooliques et caféinées, de cannabis, de coca, de cocaïne, d'opium, de morphine, de tabac, d'héroïne, de métamphétamine ou de l'une de ces molécules semi-synthétiques ou synthétiques élaborées au cours des dernières décennies, ces substances ont exercé (et continuent d'exercer) une influence considérable sur le monde tel que nous le connaissons, aussi bien sur les écosystèmes que sur la science médicale, aussi bien sur la scène politique que dans les microcosmes urbains ou périphériques. En présentant une synthèse de l'échange des substances psychoactives à l'échelle planétaire et de leurs répercussions sur les civilisations, cet ouvrage décrit comment certains individus sont parvenus avec succès à exploiter l'éventail des drogues disponibles et pourquoi, en dépit des énormes profits et revenus provenant des taxes, leurs successeurs ont fini par changer leur fusil d'épaule en restreignant ou en prohibant certaines de ces drogues... mais pas toutes. S'appuyant sur les principaux travaux spécialisés portant sur le rôle et les conséquences des drogues dans le monde moderne, l'ouvrage de Courtwright a reçu un accueil très favorable et a fait l'objet de plusieurs critiques très élogieuses dans le monde scientifique anglophone. Il est donc pertinent et utile d'en proposer une version française.

Book excerpt: A memoir from one of Britain's legendary singers, folklorists, and music historians. A legendary singer, folklorist, and music historian, Shirley Collins has been an integral part of the folk-music revival for more than sixty years. In her new memoir, All in the Downs, Collins tells the story of that lifelong relationship with English folksong—a dedication to artistic integrity that has guided her through the triumphs and tragedies of her life. All in the Downs combines elements of memoir—from her working-class origins in wartime Hastings to the bright lights of the 1950s folk revival in London—alongside reflections on the role traditional music and the English landscape have played in shaping her vision. From formative field recordings made with Alan Lomax in the United States to the “crowning glories” recorded with her sister Dolly on the Sussex Downs, she writes of the obstacles that led to her withdrawal from the spotlight and the redemption of a new artistic flourishing that continues today with her unexpected return to recording in 2016. Through it all, Shirley Collins has been guided and supported by three vital and inseparable loves: traditional English song, the people and landscape of her native Sussex, and an unwavering sense of artistic integrity. All in the Downs pays tribute to these passions, and in doing so, illustrates a way of life as old as England, that has all but vanished from this land. Generously illustrated with rare archival material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life outside the mobile phone is unbearable.’ Lily, 19, factory worker. Described as the biggest migration in human history, an estimated 250 million Chinese people have left their villages in recent decades to live and work in urban areas. Xinyuan Wang spent 15 months living among a community of these migrants in a small factory town in southeast China to track their use of social media. It was here she witnessed a second migration taking place: a movement from offline to online. As Wang argues, this is not simply a convenient analogy but represents the convergence of two phenomena as profound and consequential as each other, where the online world now provides a home for the migrant workers who feel otherwise ‘homeless’. Wang’s fascinating study explores the full range of preconceptions commonly held about Chinese people – their relationship with education, with family, with politics, with ‘home’ – and argues why, for this vast population, it is time to reassess what we think we know about contemporary China and the evolving role of social media.

Book excerpt: We are all fascinated by the mystery of metamorphosis – of the caterpillar that transforms itself into a butterfly. Their bodies have almost nothing in common. They don’t share the same world: one crawls on the ground and the other flutters its wings in the air. And yet they are one and the same life. Emanuele Coccia argues that metamorphosis – the phenomenon that allows the same life to subsist in disparate bodies – is the relationship that binds all species together and unites the living with the non-living. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, plants, animals: they are all one and the same life. Each species, including the human species, is the metamorphosis of all those that preceded it – the same life, cobbling together a new body and a new form in order to exist differently. And there is no opposition between the living and the non-living: life is always the reincarnation of the non-living, a carnival of the telluric substance of a planet – the Earth – that continually draws new faces and new ways of being out of even the smallest particle of its disparate body. By highlighting what joins humans together with other forms of life, Coccia’s brilliant reflection on metamorphosis encourages us to abandon our view of the human species as static and independent and to recognize instead that we are part of a much larger and interconnected form of life.

Book excerpt: Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this volume brings together contributions by distinguished experts from different disciplinary fields for a multidimensional view on immersion in the visual arts and media. In the current media debate, immersion has frequently been linked to the advent of digital technology and its capacity to provide vivid sensations of being placed in or surrounded by an artificial space. The idea of ‘liquidity’ contained in this promise to plunge into another world informs wide areas of contemporary cultural imagination, referring to a myriad of phenomena that relate to experiences of uncertainty and instability, of complexity and change. Considering the fact, however, that the idea of ‘liquid’ spaces appeared long before the digital creation of augmented or virtual environments, the contributors to this volume trace its reemerging throughout the history of the visual arts and media. By focusing on selected works of painting and architecture, photography and cinema, video installation and media art, they explore the variability of immersive experiences according to the different media environments and interfaces that constitute the actual sites of historically shifting relations between media and users. Contributors are: Matthias Bauer, Jörg von Brincken, Robin Curtis, Burcu Dogramaci, Thomas Elsaesser, Ole W. Fischer, Gundolf S. Freyermuth, Ursula Frohne, Henry Keazor, Matthias Krüger, Katja Kwastek, Fabienne Liptay, Karl Prümm, Martin Warnke.

Book excerpt: Watsuji Tetsuro's Rinrigaku (literally, the principles that allow us to live in friendly community) has been regarded as the definitive study of Japanese ethics for half a century. In Japan, ethics is the study of human being or ningen. As an ethical being, one negates individuality by abandoning one's independence from others. This selflessness is the true meaning of goodness.

Book excerpt: Miles Hordern sailed alone in a 28-foot sloop across the Southern Ocean from New Zealand to Patagonia and back - a voyage of 13,000 nautical miles across the largest stretch of water on earth and a region of icebergs, gales and high seas. Six weeks later he made landfall on the coast of Chile and, after a chance meeting, embarked on a 1000-mile cruise southwards to survey channels and fjords in Patagonia, one of the last uncharted areas in the world. From Chile he sailed north on the Humboldt current, then west through the tropics on the return passage to New Zealand, arriving home some 18 months after he had left.

Book excerpt: This book represents the first anthropological ethnography of Ikea consumption and goes to the heart of understanding the unique and at times frantic popularity of this one iconic transnational store. Based on a year of participant observation in Stockholm’s Kungens Kurva store – the largest in the world - this book places the retailer squarely within the realm of the home-building efforts of individuals in Stockholm and to a lesser degree in Dublin. Ikea, the world’s largest retailer and one of its most interesting, is the focus of intense popular fascination internationally, yet is rarely subject to in-depth anthropological inquiry. In Unpacking Ikea, Garvey explores why Ikea is never ‘just a store’ for its customers, and questions why it is described in terms of a cultural package, as everyday and classless. Using in-depth interviews with householders over several years, this ethnographic study follows the furniture from the Ikea store outwards to probe what people actually take home with them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the key theoretical shifts over the past two decades of critical work have been the 'visual turn' and the 'material turn'. This book argues that these hitherto distinct fields should be understood as in continual dialogue and co-constitution and focuses on reconceptualising the visual as an embodied, material, and often politically-charged realm. This edited volume elaborates this conceptual argument through a series of contemporary case studies, drawn from the disciplines of Architecture, Sociology, Media Studies, Geography and Cultural Studies. The case studies included are paired around four themes: consumption, translation, practice and ethics. As well as exploring the bringing together of visuality and materiality studies, the contributors raise questions of social identity and social critique, and also focus on the ethics of material visualities.
