Book Description
Les Rouillard... Qui sont-ils ? Un couple et ses dix enfants, six garçons et quatre filles, en attendant la naissance du onzième. Des gens très pauvres, de pauvres gens qui, de génération en génération, représentent le lieu de convergence (et de divergence) de multiples initiatives assumées par tout un éventail d’institutions et d’acteurs sociaux : élus municipaux, instituteurs, employeurs ; juges des enfants, gendarmes, délégués à la liberté surveillée ; assistants sociaux, tuteurs aux prestations sociales, inspecteurs de l’action sociale et sanitaire, éducateurs spécialisés... Deux séries de documents ont permis de retracer l’histoire des Rouillard : leur biographie administrative constituée par des enquêtes, rapports et dossiers de toutes natures dont, durant quinze ans, cette famille n’a cessé d’être l’objet et, comme en surimpression, leur autobiographie résultant d’un ensemble de lettres, de témoignages, de récits de vie, due au couple Rouillard et à d’autres membres de la famille. Ainsi se manifeste-t-il la continuelle mise à l’épreuve de leur identité familiale et personnelle, successivement éclatée, reconstituée sous la contrainte de leurs « tuteurs » sociaux, pour se trouver bientôt, à nouveau, détruite. À travers la suite, apparemment incohérente, de moments de total dénuement, d’accidents et de démêlés avec la justice, on discerne néanmoins les fils rouges d’une tragique continuité : l’irrémédiable dépendance pesant sur ce groupe humain et, parallèlement, l’acharnement des acteurs sociaux à vouloir porter remède à leur pauvreté et enfin la persistance d’une obscure volonté d’exister. De toute évidence, la biographie sociale élaborée par Jean-Pierre Nicolas constitue une mise en demeure adressée à l’ensemble des travailleurs sociaux et tout autant à ceux qui, dans les structures d’action sociale, éducatives et judiciaires exercent des pouvoirs et assument des responsabilités. C’est sur le sens et peut-être le contresens des pratiques et politiques sociales d’aujourd’hui que devront s’interroger les lecteurs de cet ouvrage.

Life Interpretation and the Sense of Illness within the Human Condition
Author: Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401007802
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
In medicine the understanding and interpretation of the complex reality of illness currently refers either to an organismic approach that focuses on the physical or to a 'holistic' approach that takes into account the patient's human sociocultural involvement. Yet as the papers of this collection show, the suffering human person refers ultimately to his/her existential sphere. Hence, praxis is supplemented by still other perspectives for valuation and interpretation: ethical, spiritual, and religious. Can medicine ignore these considerations or push them to the side as being subjective and arbitrary? Phenomenology/philosophy-of-life recognizes all of the above approaches to be essential facets of the Human Condition (Tymieniecka). This approach holds that all the facets of the Human Condition have equal objectivity and legitimacy. It completes the accepted medical outlook and points the way toward a new `medical humanism'.

Divagations
Author: Stphane Mallarm
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674032403
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
"This is a book just the way I don't like them," the father of French Symbolism, Stphane Mallarm, informs the reader in his preface to Divagations: "scattered and with no architecture." On the heels of this caveat, Mallarm's diverting, discursive, and gorgeously disordered 1897 masterpiece tumbles forth--and proves itself to be just the sort of book his readers like most. The salmagundi of prose poems, prose-poetic musings, criticism, and reflections that is Divagations has long been considered a treasure trove by students of aesthetics and modern poetry. If Mallarm captured the tone and very feel of fin-de-sicle Paris, he went on to captivate the minds of the greatest writers of the twentieth century--from Valry and Eliot to Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida. This was the only book of prose he published in his lifetime and, in a new translation by Barbara Johnson, is now available for the first time in English as Mallarm arranged it. The result is an entrancing work through which a notoriously difficult-to-translate voice shines in all of its languor and musicality. Whether contemplating the poetry of Tennyson, the possibilities of language, a masturbating priest, or the transporting power of dance, Mallarm remains a fascinating companion--charming, opinionated, and pedantic by turns. As an expression of the Symbolist movement and as a contribution to literary studies, Divagations is vitally important. But it is also, in Johnson's masterful translation, endlessly mesmerizing.

Aging in the Past
Author: David I. Kertzer
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520084667
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
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.
