Book Description
This volume presents the collective adventure of Dingdingdong, the Institute for the Co-production of Knowledge about Huntington's Disease, founded in 2012 between Paris and Brussels. Katrin Solhdju's Testing Knowledge: Toward an Ecology of Diagnosis pursues the question of taming the violence of the new species of medical foreknowledge represented by genetic testing. Adopting historical and epistemological perspectives on diagnostic situations, including observations from anthropological field research, speculative storytelling, and ancient oracles, Testing Knowledge proposes a new ecology of predictive diagnostic gestures, which potentially concern us all. Testing Knowledge is preceded by the Dingdingdong collective's Manifesto (2013), which tells the story of the young Alice Rivières, who in 2006 took the presymptomatic, genetic test, foretelling her that she will eventually develop Huntington's. Her first-person account of the revelation of her test results, which she experienced as an act of poisoning or cursing, pulls the reader into the manifold ethical, psychological, and existential issues inherent to medical predictions. Testing Knowledge is also preceded by a foreword from Alice Wexler, author of Mapping Fate: A Memoir of Family, Risk, and Genetic Research, and is followed by an afterword by philosopher Isabelle Stengers.

Book Description
Les mots explorés par Claude de Jonckheere sont autant de perspectives ouvertes sur des aspects du monde de l’intervention. Le titre 83 mots pour penser l’intervention en travail social présuppose que les mots ne servent pas uniquement à communiquer, mais surtout à réfléchir. Plutôt que de proposer des définitions, ce sont l’expérience de pensée qu’ils suscitent, les aspects du monde auxquels ils conduisent et les problématiques qu’ils permettent de construire qui importent. Les mots nous habitent. Ils nous font sentir ce monde qui devient alors le nôtre et sur lequel nous pouvons agir afin de le transformer, ne serait-ce qu’imperceptiblement. Ils font irruption en nous, bousculent les mots s’y trouvant déjà et les agencent d’une autre manière. Le titre présuppose aussi qu’il est possible de penser l’intervention en travail social, et que cette activité de la pensée crée de la nouveauté dans nos manières d’agir les plus concrètes. Ainsi, penser, avec des mots, a des conséquences sur nos pratiques. Ce livre offre des manières de penser l’intervention de sorte que les professionnels du travail social puissent sortir du trouble dans lequel ils sont parfois plongés en raison des difficultés croissantes inhérentes à leur exercice de socialisation et de rééducation. Il s’agit alors, de contribuer à l’augmentation de leur puissance de penser qui est aussi l’augmentation de leur puissance d’agir. La coloration principale de cet ouvrage est donnée par le pragmatisme et l’empirisme de William James, John Dewey, Georges Herbert Mead et par la philosophie de l’événement d’Albert North Whitehead, repris dans la tradition francophone notamment par Gabriel Tarde, Gilles Deleuze, Isabelle Stengers et Bruno Latour. Ce livre est destiné aux personnes dont la profession est d’agir envers autrui – ou qui se forment à une telle profession – celles dont Freud disait qu’elles exercent un «métier impossible» notamment les travailleurs sociaux mais aussi les thérapeutes, les enseignants, les soignants et, pourquoi pas, les politiques.

Book Description
Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.

Book Description
There is more to education than teaching and learning, and more to anthropology than making studies of other people’s lives. Here Tim Ingold argues that both anthropology and education are ways of studying, and of leading life, with others. In this provocative book, he goes beyond an exploration of the interface between the disciplines of anthropology and education to claim their fundamental equivalence. Taking inspiration from the writings of John Dewey, Ingold presents his argument in four close-knit chapters. Education, he contends, is not the transmission of authorised knowledge from one generation to the next but a way of attending to things, opening up paths of growth and discovery. What does this mean for the ways we think about study and the school, teaching and learning, and the freedoms they exemplify? And how does it bear on the practices of participation and observation, on ways of study in the field and in the school, on art and science, research and teaching, and the university? Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is intended as much for educationalists as for anthropologists. It will appeal to all who are seeking alternatives to mainstream agendas in social and educational policy, including educators and students in philosophy, the social sciences, educational psychology, environmentalism and arts practice.

Book Description
"It's Getting Later All the Time is an epistolary novel with a twist. Seventeen men write seventeen strangely beautiful letters - tender or rancorous - lonely monologues which move in circles. Each missive describes an affair, and each man is desperate for a reply which may never come. But then a revolutionary eighteenth letter arrives."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
In the late 1950s, like tens of thousands of young men of his generation, Pierre Bourdieu, having recently passed the agrégation in philosophy, found himself immersed in the Algerian war. Motivated by an impulse that, as he himself says, ‘was civic rather than political’, nothing seemed more important to him than to understand the Algerian situation and provide the elements that would enable others to come to an informed judgement about it. In extremely tough conditions and along with a small group of students, Bourdieu undertook a series of studies across an Algeria that was tightly patrolled by the army, leading him to discover the shocking reality of the resettlement camps and to analyse the mechanisms of destruction of Algerian society of which they were emblematic. To achieve the objectives he had set himself, Bourdieu had to carry out a genuine intellectual conversion, acquiring an ethnographic understanding of Algerian society, learning sociological analysis at a breakneck pace and inventing new instruments - both theoretical and empirical - that would enable him to understand the relations of domination specific to colonialism. These new tools also enabled him to analyse the nature of the crisis that the war had both produced and manifested. This unique volume brings together the first texts written by Bourdieu in the midst of the Algerian conflict, as well as later writings and interviews in which he returns to the topic of Algeria and the decisive role it played in the development of his work.
