Book Synopsis On est toujours l'enfant de son siècle by : Gérard Mendel
Download or read book On est toujours l'enfant de son siècle written by Gérard Mendel and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1986-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred de Musset avait donné pour titre à ses souvenirs : Confession d'un enfant du siècle. L'image est juste : il est vrai que le siècle où nous existons enfante une grande part de notre personnalité. [...] Il fut, le siècle, dramatiquement incertain dans ses rebondissements, d'une violence extrême insupportablement horrible souvent, et presque toujours très décevant, mais aussi il fut superbement décapant et il apporta avec lui des nouveautés très singulières. Une telle confusion nous habite à son propos que, à l'heure où il approche de son terme, il nous laisse, à vrai dire, pantois et abasourdis. Mais si le XXe siècle est un Cyclope à la taille géante, il est bien évident que nous n'avons pas su être Ulysse. Deux exceptionnels événements courent à travers le siècle, fils rouge tissés dans sa trame, et qui donnent un sens à son dessin compliqué. Le déclin de l'astre-Capital, la montée de l'astre-État. Et le fait que, désormais, les individus, les simples individus sont devenus à part entière des participants de l'Histoire. Grandiront-ils, et à temps, à la mesure du siècle ? Mais, à côté de la mémoire événementielle, il existe une seconde mémoire, d'importance tout aussi grande, on le sait bien, quant à l'influence exercée : la mémoire émotionnelle. D'où, pour tenter de l'éveiller, la forme adoptée pour ce livre et qui pourra surprendre. Finalement, c'est la démocratie, tellement décriée, si souvent mise à mal et à sac, qui tire, de la manière la plus honorable, son épingle du jeu politique du siècle. Rarement autant qu'aujourd'hui, elle était apparue pour ce qu'elle est : un bien aussi précieux que fragile. Comment, alors, essayer de faire que les individus de notre époque se saisissent d'elle, la fassent participer à leur vie de tous les jours, en nourrissent la substance de leur personnalité ? Car (et sans doute c'est la vraie leçon du siècle) dans la société d'individus qui vient, ou bien nous serons tous sauvés ou bien personne ne le sera. Chacun grandira ou personne ne grandira. Élites, craignez les ilotes que vous auriez créés !
Book Synopsis Les idées politiques au XXe siècle by : Chantal Delsol
Download or read book Les idées politiques au XXe siècle written by Chantal Delsol and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 1991 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Le XXe siècle tente de concrétiser politiquement les théories nées au XIXe siècle. Et parce que le XIXe siècle forge des utopies, le XXe organise la terreur institutionnelle. Le XXe siècle imagine des pseudo-spiritualismes parce que le rationalisme moderne a asséché l'esprit, mais il utilise pour ce faire le rationalisme hérité. Les religions disparues sont remplacées par des mythes régénérateurs. La politique occupe le lieu du sacré : elle entretient son catéchisme, ses rites et ses prêtres. Elle génère logiquement le fanatisme, pour avoir temporalisé les paradis. Toutes les conceptions politiques du XXe siècle se veulent révolutionnaires, sauf la pensée de l'Etat de droit. Mais toutes échouent dans leur entreprise de renaturation sociale. Et finalement, c'est sans doute la pensée de l'Etat de droit qui a accompli la vraie révolution."
Book Synopsis Le XXe siècle idéologique et politique by : Michel Winock
Download or read book Le XXe siècle idéologique et politique written by Michel Winock and published by Tempus Perrin. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Montrer comment la politique et l'idéologie ont modelé le XXe siècle, permettre à tous de connaître les bases politiques de notre société et apprendre à en analyser les réalités. Une sorte de manuel politique pour le citoyen. Un livre actuel et précieux. Le XXe siècle a été le temps des grandes violences collectives : deux guerres mondiales, apogée et effondrement des régimes totalitaires, génocides, drames de la décolonisation et crises économiques. C'est donc peu de dire que les certitudes d'avant 1914 ont été ébranlées : la démocratie libérale à forme parlementaire, le patriotisme, la nation ou la stabilité des monnaies comme des statuts. Avec son sens habituel de la mise en perspective pédagogique, Michel Winock passe en revue les grandes catégories de l'histoire politique et idéologique de ce XXe siècle. S'intéressant aussi bien à la validité du modèle républicain après 1918 qu'au glissement vers la démocratie directe dans les années 1960-1980, aux avatars du sentiment national comme aux affrontements idéologiques, il éclaire des points d'histoire controversés, telles l'hypothèse d'un fascisme français ou les origines idéologiques de Vichy. Michel Winock écrit ainsi une sorte de manuel politique à l'usage du citoyen. Michel Winock, professeur émérite à Sciences-Po, a notamment publié Clemenceau (prix Aujourd'hui) et Le Siècle des intellectuels (prix Médicis-essai).

Book excerpt: Quelles évolutions les doctrines politiques ont-elles connues entre le XVIIIe et le XXe siècle ? Peut-on réduire la notion d'idées politiques aux seules valeurs doctrinales qu'elles peuvent porter ? Jusqu'à quel point les idées politiques peuvent-elles s'émanciper de l'histoire ? Le deuxième volume de ce classique de la science politique analyse toutes les grandes idéologies ayant marqué la fin du XIXe siècle et le cours du XXe siècle, depuis le siècle des Lumières jusqu'à la crise du libéralisme, en passant par la pensée révolutionnaire puis contre-révolutionnaire, le romantisme politique, le socialisme, le marxisme, le fascisme. Cette Histoire des idées politiques, dont le premier tome couvre les périodes antérieures, de la Cité grecque jusqu'au déclin de l'absolutisme, est une oeuvre magistrale qui constitue toujours une référence dans le cursus universitaire.

Download or read book MEGA-CRISES written by Ira Helsloot and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in turbulent times with continents and nations facing ever-heightening risks such as natural disasters, intense and protracted conflicts, terrorism, corporate crises, cyber threats to infrastructures and mega-events. We are witnessing the rise of mega-crises and a new class of adversity with many unknowns. The prospect of mega-crises presents professionals and students in the field of crisis management with four major tasks. First, they should engage in “deep thinking” about the causes of the increasing occurrence of mega-crises. Second, they should identify and work through the dominant trends which complicate contemporary crisis management. Third, they should upgrade institutional crisis management capacity. Fourth, they should improve societal resilience since no institutional complex can mitigate or manage these mega-crisis on its own. This book is divided into four primary parts, each of which looks at one facet of mega-crises. Part I focuses on the concept of a mega-crisis and mega-crisis management; Part II examines crisis management of mega-natural disasters; Part III evaluates crisis management of man-made mega-crises; and Part IV identifies mega-threats and vulnerabilities. Additional major topics include Hurricane Katrina; Hurricane Gustav; the London Bombings; the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks of July 7, 2005; corporate meltdowns; the subprime crisis; the Olympic Games; electricity grids; global climate change; the Dutch Delta; risks to food security; and mega-crises and the Internet. This comprehensive text will provide practitioners and academics with the results of an across-the-board research effort in the prospects, nature, characteristics, and the effects of mega-crises.

Book Synopsis Aging in the Past by : David I. Kertzer
Download or read book Aging in the Past written by David I. Kertzer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to improved food, medicine, and living conditions, the average age of the population is increasing throughout the modern industrialized world. Yet, despite the recent upsurge of scholarly interest in the lives of older people and the blossoming of historical demography, little historical demographic attention has been paid to the lives of the elderly. A landmark volume, Aging in the Past marks the emergence of the historical demographic study of aging. Following a masterly explication of the new field by Peter Laslett, leading scholars in family history and historical demography offer new research results and fresh analyses that greatly increase our understanding of aging, historically and across cultures. Focusing primarily on post-Industrial Europe and the United States, they explore a range of issues under the broad topics of living arrangements, widowhood, and retirement and mortality. This important work provides a much-needed historical perspective on and suggests possible alternative solutions to the problems of the aged.

Book Synopsis Epidemics and Pandemics by : Jo N. Hays
Download or read book Epidemics and Pandemics written by Jo N. Hays and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-12-12 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balancing current and historical issues, this volume of essays covers the most significant worldwide epidemics from the Black Death to AIDS. Great pandemics have resulted in significant death tolls and major social disruption. Other "virgin soil" epidemics have struck down large percentages of populations that had no previous contact with newly introduced microbes. Written by a specialist in the history of science and medicine, the essays in this volume discuss pandemics and epidemics affecting Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, covering diseases in ancient times to the present. Each entry combines biological and social information to form a picture of the significance of epidemics that have shaped world history. The essays cover the areas of major pandemics, virgin soil epidemics, disruptive shocks, and epidemics of symbolic interest. Included are facts about what an epidemic was, where and when it occurred, how contemporaries reacted, and the unresolved historical issues remaining. This fascinating material is written at a level suitable for scholars and the general public.
Book Synopsis A History of Childhood by : Colin Heywood
Download or read book A History of Childhood written by Colin Heywood and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colin Heywood's classic account of childhood from the early Middle Ages to the First World War combines a long-run historical perspective with a broad geographical spread. This new, comprehensively updated edition incorporates the findings of the most recent research, and in particular revises and expands the sections on theoretical developments in the 'new social studies of childhood', on medieval conceptions of the child, on parenting and on children’s literature. Rather than merely narrating their experiences from the perspectives of adults, Heywood incorporates children’s testimonies, 'looking up' as well as 'down'. Paying careful attention to elements of continuity as well as change, he tells a story of astonishing material improvement for the lives of children in advanced societies, while showing how the business of preparing for adulthood became more and more complicated and fraught with emotional difficulties. Rich with evocative details of everyday life, and providing the most concise and readable synthesis of the literature available, Heywood's book will be indispensable to all those interested in the study of childhood.

Book Synopsis History of Old Age by : Georges Minois
Download or read book History of Old Age written by Georges Minois and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1989-11-28 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Old Age is the first major study of the ways in which old age has been perceived in western culture throughout history. Georges Minois paints a vast fresco, starting with the first old man to relate his own story—an Egyptian scribe some 4500 years ago—and ending with the deaths of Elizabeth I and Henry IV in the sixteenth century. Tracing the changing conceptions of the nature, value, and burden of the old, Minois argues that western history during this period is marked by great fluctuation in the social and political role of the aged. Minois shows how, in ancient Greece, the cult of youth and beauty on the one hand, and the reverence for the figure of the Homeric sage, on the other, created an ambivalent attitude toward the aged. This ambiguity appears again in the contrast between the active role that older citizens played in Roman politics and their depiction in satirical literature of the period. Christian literature in the Middle Ages also played a large part in defining society's perception of the old, both in the image of the revered holy sage and in the total condemnation of the aged sinner. Drawing on literary texts throughout, Minois considers the interrelation of literary, religious, medical, and political factors in determining the social fate of the elderly and their relationship to society. This book will be of great interest to social and cultural historians, as well as to general readers interested in the subject of the aged in society today.
