Book excerpt: La sortie du monde façonné par l'industrie de masse du xxe siècle ébranle toute la société française. Quel sera le nouveau monde de la globalisation et de la révolution numérique ? Prenant le contrepied des analyses les plus répandues – désindustrialisation, passage à une société de services –, Pierre Veltz décrit une situation où les services, l'industrie et le numérique convergent vers une configuration inédite : le capitalisme "hyper-industriel". Cette convergence se déploie à l'échelle mondiale, faisant émerger une nouvelle économie, mais aussi une nouvelle géographie. Un grand partage se dessine, entre un archipel de pôles ultra-connectés et des mondes périphériques résiduels. Grâce à l'intensité de la redistribution, l'Europe et la France échappent pour l'instant aux formes les plus brutales de cette dislocation. C'est un atout immense qu'il faut préserver et consolider. Pierre Veltz est ingénieur et sociologue. Il a notamment publié Le Nouveau Monde industriel (Gallimard, 2008) et La Grande Transition (Seuil, 2008).

Book Synopsis Innovation Beyond Technology by : Sébastien Lechevalier
Download or read book Innovation Beyond Technology written by Sébastien Lechevalier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this book is to clarify the importance of non-technological factors in innovation to cope with contemporary complex societal issues while critically reconsidering the relations between science, technology, innovation (STI), and society. For a few decades now, innovation—mainly derived from technological advancement—has been considered a driving force of economic and societal development and prosperity. With that in mind, the following questions are dealt with in this book: What are the non-technological sources of innovation? What can the progress of STI bring to humankind? What roles will society be expected to play in the new model of innovation? The authors argue that the majority of so-called technological innovations are actually socio-technical innovations, requiring huge resources for financing activities, adapting regulations, designing adequate policy frames, and shaping new uses and new users while having the appropriate interaction with society. This book gathers multi- and trans-disciplinary approaches in innovation that go beyond technology and take into account the inter-relations with social and human phenomena. Illustrated by carefully chosen examples and based on broad and well-informed analyses, it is highly recommended to readers who seek an in-depth and up-to-date integrated overview of innovation in its non-technological dimensions.
Book Synopsis L'Économie désirable by : Pierre Veltz
Download or read book L'Économie désirable written by Pierre Veltz and published by Seuil. This book was released on 2021-01-07T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dynamique de la société « hyper-industrielle » est-elle compatible avec l’urgence écologique ? Les gains d’efficacité considérables mis en œuvre par la machine industrielle ne suffiront pas à enrayer la catastrophe écologique qui menace. De nouveaux régimes de sobriété sont nécessaires. Mais, pour être désirables, ils doivent s’inscrire dans une réorientation des priorités productives : santé, éducation, alimentation, loisirs, sécurité, mobilité. Cette économie humano-centrée est en train d’émerger, mais son versant collectif reste largement à construire. C’est là que se trouvent les emplois permettant de sortir du monde thermo-fossile. Ainsi pourra-t-on fonder une nouvelle base productive, plus durable, enfin recentrée sur les besoins essentiels des êtres humains.
Download or read book Futures written by Carine Dartiguepeyrou and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the same way as there are many futures, not just one, there are many ways to conceive and practice foresight. The challenge of the great turning point of our civilization is to free ourselves from our prejudices in order to imagine and build desirable futures. The process is, by nature, ethical and prospective. In a complex, uncertain and geopolitically transforming world, we must be open to the diversity of cultures and the different perceptions of the future. This requires us to reflect on the purpose and means of our societies. Futures proposes different cultural and ethical views on civilizational transformation by offering a rare, transnational panorama of the visions of the future in a European, American and Chinese context. Through numerous examples, this book illustrates how foresight is practiced and what this can achieve in strategic terms.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Curiosity by : Enrico Campo
Download or read book The Politics of Curiosity written by Enrico Campo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a variety of studies in the emerging field of attentional studies, this book examines and seeks alternatives to the current attention economy. Bringing together the work of leading scholars of ‘critical attention studies’ to reflect on issues such as techno-politics, socio-politics, and the politics of distraction, it offers a new and multi-disciplinary conceptualization of attention that emphasizes the connections between attention and curiosity, distraction, decoloniality and care. Above all, The Politics of Curiosity asks us to consider the nature and ambivalence of the curious forms of politics that might be taking shape in the shadow of our current attention economy. The “attention economy” has become a household name: we all know our attention is being harvested, commodified and packaged to be sold to advertisers by capitalist platforms. We all complain about it; some of us dream of disconnection; others call to fight back. By focusing on attentional deficits, and by reducing attention to being focused, however, the common view may miss wider stakes, and more promising opportunities. This collective volume provides a new frame of analysis based on three displacements. First, it relocates attentional issues within a triangulation that explores a continuum between attention, distraction and curiosity. Second, it invites us to investigate into the mental infrastructures that socially condition our perceptions and understandings of the world. Third, it points towards emancipatory politics of curiosity to provide alternatives to the attention economy. Contributions range from pedagogy to media theory, via digital studies, epistemology, sociology, political philosophy, literary history, aesthetics, film and dance studies. They gather some of the leading scholars who shaped the study of attention, questioned the values of distraction and explored the potentials of curiosity over the recent years. They extend across nine countries, four continents and seven languages, to provide a multicultural approach to these debates. Together, they help us understand how our current mental infrastructures have taken shape, under specific regimes of power and authority, in a world dominated by capital, colonialism and patriarchy. But they also sketch what can be done to redeploy them around imperatives of respect and care – from a better awareness of our mental biases, online behaviors and bodily movements, to our collective capacity to restructure classroom interactions, to launch alternative digital platforms, to build democratic movements. The first platform for discussion of the politics of attention and curiosity – and an essential point of reference for future debate – this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, politics and psychology.
Book Synopsis Local Energy Autonomy by : Fanny Lopez
Download or read book Local Energy Autonomy written by Fanny Lopez and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, interest for local energy production, supply and consumption has increased in academic and public debates. In particular, contemporary energy transition discourses and strategies often emphasize the search for increased local energy autonomy, a phrase which can refer to a diverse range of configurations, both in terms of the spaces and scales of the local territory considered and in terms of what is meant by energy autonomy. This book explores policies, projects and processes aimed at increased local energy autonomy, with a particular focus on their spatial, infrastructural and political dimensions. In doing so, the authors – Sabine Barles, Bruno Barroca, Guilhem Blanchard, Benoit Boutaud, Arwen Colell, Gilles Debizet, Ariane Debourdeau, Laure Dobigny, Florian Dupont, Zélia Hampikian, Sylvy Jaglin, Allan Jones, Raphael Ménard, Alain Nadaï, Angela Pohlmann, Cyril Roger-Lacan, Eric Vidalenc – improve our understanding of the always partial and controversial processes of energy relocation that articulate forms of local metabolic self-sufficiency, socio-technical decentralization and political empowerment. Comprising fifteen chapters, the book is divided into four parts: Governance and Actors; Urban Projects and Energy Systems; Energy Communities; and The Challenges of Energy Autonomy.
Book Synopsis Crisis, Innovation and Sustainable Development by : Blandine Laperche
Download or read book Crisis, Innovation and Sustainable Development written by Blandine Laperche and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book talks about a genuine greening of the economy: from the most theoretical aspects, e.g. the genealogy of ecological economics, to the most practical. The two most prominent conclusions are, for me: this greening cannot be achieved by companies alone, but can only be the result of different kinds of innovation: technological, organizational, institutional and lifestyle changes. The changes must be implemented at all levels, from the firm to international governance.' Dominique Bourg, University of Lausanne, Switzerland 'Crisis, Innovation and Sustainable Development is a fascinating exploration at the frontiers of economics and ecology. It combines topical surveys of current work with deep reflection on the repressed role of nature in the history of economics. A work of great range and value, especially for all concerned with the strategy of economic policy going forward.' James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin, US This unique and informative book highlights the relationship between crisis, innovation, and sustainable development, and discusses the necessary conditions required to seize the ecological opportunity. The authors study the strength of change for building a new society, and the theoretical origins and political aspects of environmental concerns. They also sketch the outlines of a global governance system seeking to promote sustainable development. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective, this volume will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers in the economics of innovation, environmental economics and political economy, as well as policy makers and practitioners.
Book Synopsis Territorial Inequalitie by : Magali Talandier
Download or read book Territorial Inequalitie written by Magali Talandier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial planning has embraced the idea of dealing with territorial inequalities by focusing on equipment logic on a national scale, and then economic development on a local scale. Today, this issue is creating new angles of debate with strong political resonances (e.g. Brexit, French gilets jaunes movement). Interpretations of these movements are often quick and binary, such as: the contrast between metropolises and peripheries, between cities and the countryside, between the north and the south or between the east and the west of the European Union. Territorial Inequalities sheds light on the social, political and operational implications of these divergences. The chapters cover the subject at different scales of action and observation (from the neighborhood to the world), but also according to their interdependences. To deal with such a vast and ambitious theme, the preferred approach is that of territorial development in terms of public policy, namely spatial planning.

Book Synopsis Mineral Resource Economy 2 by : Floriant Fizaine
Download or read book Mineral Resource Economy 2 written by Floriant Fizaine and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges associated with the environmental impact of renewable energies are formidable and multiple. The exploitation of diffuse forms of energy will require us to reshape our lifestyles and infrastructures. Reducing their environmental impact is imperative and requires the mobilization of all available levers of action. Beyond the analysis of these challenges, this book presents an overview of the levers of action that should allow us to meet them, by crossing the fields of the human sciences, geosciences and engineering. The levers of action examined are both technical (through the substitution or use of low technology) and economic and social (through the development of recycling or decoupling). The book also addresses the question of their effectiveness and their overall impact.

Book Synopsis Theories and Models of Urbanization by : Denise Pumain
Download or read book Theories and Models of Urbanization written by Denise Pumain and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough discussion about fundamental questions regarding urban theories and modeling. It is a curated collection of contributions to a workshop held in Paris on October 12th and 13th 2017 at the Institute of Complex Systems by the team of ERC GeoDiverCity. There are several chapters conveying the answers given by single authors to problems of conceptualization and modeling and others in which scholars reply to their conception and question them. Even, the chapters transcribing keynote presentations were rewritten according to contributions from the respective discussions. The result is a complete “state of the art” of what is our knowledge about urban processes and their possible formalization.
Book Synopsis Justice in the Workplace by : Matthieu de Nanteuil
Download or read book Justice in the Workplace written by Matthieu de Nanteuil and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book explores new social justice challenges in the workplace. Adopting a long-term perspective, it focuses on value conflicts, or ethical dilemmas, in contemporary organisations and ways to overcome them. Matthieu de Nanteuil demonstrates that the existence of value conflicts is not in itself problematic, but problems arise as actors do not have a frame of justice that allows them to overcome these conflicts without renouncing their deeply held values.
