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.

Book Description
The disturbing educational success rates for Aboriginal students in comparison with their peers have been documented for many years. Reducing this persistent achievement gap is one of Canada's most pressing educational challenges. Numerous reports commissioned by federal and provincial governments and Aboriginal authorities have offered detailed examinations of the complex social, economic, linguistic, and cultural interrelationships that contextualize the educational environments of Aboriginal students. Many of their families struggle with the legacy of residential schools that ripped families apart and caused immeasurable damage to the social fabric. Schools serving these communities work within a context that may include poverty, learned helplessness, despair, and high levels of abuse, addictions and violence. For some communities, student suicide rates may exceed graduation rates. Yet despite many extraordinary challenges, some schools are producing tangible progress for their Aboriginal students. This report springs from a study of ten such schools in an effort to identify practices that appear to contribute to their success.

Book Description
“Simplexity, as I understand it, is the range of solutions living organisms have found, despite the complexity of natural processes, to enable the brain to prepare an action and plan for the consequences of it. These solutions are simplifying principles that enable the processing of information or situations, by taking into account past experience and anticipating the future. They are neither caricatures, shortcuts, or summaries. They are new ways of asking questions, sometimes at the cost of occasional detours, in order to achieve faster, more elegant, more effective actions.” A. B. As Alain Berthoz demonstrates in this profoundly original book, simplicity is never easy; it requires suppressing, selecting, connecting, thinking, in order to then act in the best way possible. And what if we, in turn, are inspired by the living world to process the complexity that surrounds us? Alain Berthoz is professor at the Collège de France where he is co-director of the Laboratoire de physiologie de la perception et de l’action. [Laboratory for the physiology of perception and action]. He is a member of the French Academy of Sciences, and is the author of Le Sens du mouvement [The Brain's Sense of Movement] and La Décision [Emotion and Reason].

Book Description
Les travailleurs perçoivent de plus en plus leur travail comme nuisible à la santé. Les "risques et troubles psychosociaux" sont restés pendant longtemps peu encadré par le droit du travail et de la Sécurité Sociale. Après une approche interdisciplinaire, l'ouvrage étudie comment les systèmes juridiques des pays d'Europe du Sud appréhendent les risques psychosociaux au travail. La question de la reconnaissance d'un droit à la protection de la santé mentale au travail est posée ainsi que celle de la définition juridique des "risques psychosociaux".
Book Description
Médiatisées sous l'appellation de « risques psycho-sociaux », les relations entre le travail et la santé mentale font l'objet d'une attention soutenue. Phénomènes longtemps cachés, les stress, harcèlements et autres souffrances mentales sont aujourd'hui placés au devant de la scène. Cependant, si le travail est en cause, il n'est pas le facteur exclusif. Comme l'escargot est un tout avec sa coquille, le salarié transporte ses vies sociales et familiales au travail. Mais ce tout est complexe, car le citoyen salarié n'est plus tout à fait citoyen en milieu du travail où il est en position de subordination. La souffrance au travail manque de retours d'expérience, ses données sont mal identifiées et insuffisamment situées dans les champs du professionnel et du social. Leur analyse est bien souvent superficielle. Ce sont les symptômes plutôt que leurs causes qui font l'objet de l'attention des professionnels. La prévention n'a quasiment aucune place significative dans les plans d'actions engagés qui relèvent de la limitation ou de l'adoucissement des impacts. Si l'on veut que les risques dits psychosociaux soient traités comme tous les autres risques professionnels, la méthode doit donc être repensée. Commençons en faisant un effort de vocabulaire, en écartant ce vocable ambigu de « risques psychosociaux » et en ne connaissant que les risques du travail pour la santé mentale.
