Описание: Individualisation has become an ambiguous, but defining feature of late modern societies and while it is in part characterised by an increase in individual autonomy and a sense of liberation, individuals are equally required to negotiate a fragmented, pluralised and ambiguous social order by themselves. This book sheds light on the processes and nature of contemporary individualisation, specifically exploring the manner in which it unfolds under conditions of contemporary network capitalism. With attention to the modern workplace, where the individual and the organisation meet directly, but also in the wider community, Individualisation at Work reveals individualisation to become an ideological and ambiguous process of liberation, as conditions of marketisation and corporatisation transform the emancipatory qualities and motivations that define individualisation into a means for the coordination and reproduction of systemic imperatives, which are realised by individuals' qualities and capacities for self-realisation. A rigorous theoretical study, illustrated with interview material gathered amongst managers from internationally operating corporations, this book will appeal to sociologists with interests in work and organisations and the theory of contemporary modernity.

Описание: Remises de peine, droits a compensation du handicap, droit au logement ou aides a l’insertion professionnelle, nombreux sont les domaines du droit des individus qui sont confrontes a la montee de l’individualisation ; leur attribution est desormais soumise a l’examen de situations individuelles par des commissions reunissant professionnels et partenaires institutionnels autour d’une meme table. Aujourd’hui, les droits sociaux visent moins a proteger les individus qu’a transformer durablement leur destin (les rendre plus « employables », plus « inserables »). Les vies et les envies des personnes vulnerables sont ainsi sans cesse passees au crible de l’expertise croisee des professionnels de l’Etat social transformateur. Mais comment individualiser les droits, personnaliser les reponses, lorsque la pression du flux de demandes s’accroit ? Comment evaluer chaque demande particuliere sans porter atteinte au principe d’egalite de traitement ? En s’appuyant sur un programme d’enquetes socio-ethnographiques dans cinq secteurs (politique de l’emploi, insertion des jeunes, administration penitentiaire, handicap, et logement), cet ouvrage explore les multiples facettes de la production collective du jugement sur les personnes vulnerables prises sous l’angle social, professionnel ou medical.

Описание: The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization explores the nature of contemporary malaises, diseases, illnesses and psychosomatic syndromes, examining the manner in which they are related to cultural pathologies of the social body. Multi-disciplinary in approach, the book is concerned with questions of how these conditions are not only manifest at the level of individual patients' bodies, but also how the social 'bodies politic' are related to the hegemony of reductive biomedical and individual-psychologistic perspectives. Rejecting a reductive, biomedical and individualistic diagnosis of contemporary problems of health and well-being, The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization contends that many such problems are to be understood in the light of radical changes in social structures and institutions, extending to deep crises in our civilization as a whole. Rather than considering such conditions in isolation - both from one another and from broader contexts - this book argues that health and well-being are not just located at the level of the individual body, the integral human person, or even collective social bodies; rather, they encompass the health of humanity as a whole and our relationship with Nature. A ground-breaking analysis of social malaise and the health of civilization, this book will be of interest to scholars of sociology, social theory, social psychology, philosophy and anthropology.

Описание: This is a wide-ranging book about aspects of the Gothic, from classic texts such as Frankenstein and Wuthering Heights to contemporary fiction by Iain Banks, William Gibson and many others. It approaches the texts through looking at the opposition between the Gothic and the law, suggesting ways in which Gothic at all points produces transgression.
