Between Crown and Community
The sixteenth century was an important period of transition in France, in which antagonistic religious beliefs led to prolonged civil wars and a growing state apparatus competed with medieval notions of political authority and the social order. Poitiers, a midsized provincial capital, actively experienced these tensions. Early known as a center of Reformed belief, it became a stronghold of ultra-Catholic sentiment by 1575. In examining sixteenth-century Poitiers, Hilary J. Bernstein argues that civic governments and the French monarchy enjoyed a mutually beneficial and reinforcing relationship rather than an antagonistic one; that disparate urban groups shared a political language for defini...
Intent to Deceive
A shocking exposé of genocide denial It is twenty-five years since the 1994 genocide of the Tutsi of Rwanda when in the course of three terrible months more than 1 million people were murdered. In the intervening years a pernicious campaign has been waged by the perpetrators to deny this crime, with attempts to falsify history and blame the victims for their fate. Facts are reversed, fake news promulgated, and phoney science given credence. Intent to Deceive tells the story of this campaign of genocide denial from its origins with those who planned the massacres. With unprecedented access to government archives including in Rwanda Linda Melvern explains how, from the moment the killers seiz...
Lineages of the Feminine
We are experiencing an anthropological revolution. We see it in the #MeToo movement, in the denunciation of femicide and in an increasingly vociferous critique of patriarchal domination. Why this sudden rise of an antagonistic conception of the relationship between men and women, at the very moment when progress is accelerating and when the goals of first- and second-wave feminism seem on the verge of being achieved? In this book, the anthropologist and historian Emmanuel Todd, while not underestimating the importance of crucial inequalities that remain, argues that the emancipation of women has essentially already taken place but that it has given rise to new tensions and contradictions. As...
La fracture sociale
L'expression " fracture sociale ", a été popularisée depuis la campagne présidentielle de 1995. Le découpage en trois parties de cet ouvrage propose une réflexion sur les faits (comment mesure-t-on les inégalités sociales ? où en est la France dans ce processus de paupérisation des masses et d'enrichissement sans limite d'une minorité ?), sur les arguments (les débats sur les causes et les remèdes à apporter à ce mal social) et enfin un sujet corrigé avec rappels méthodologiques à destination des candidats aux concours de la fonction publique.

L' exception culturelle
La culture est-elle une marchandise comme les autres ? Qu'est-ce qu'un bien culturel ? En quoi la position de la France sur ce sujet est-elle singulière ? Mutant de questions qui renvoient toutes à la notion d'" exception culturelle " sans que l'on sache toujours bien ce qu'elle recouvre exactement. Expression " paravent " d'une époque en mal d'idéologie ou enjeu bien défini, cette " exception " se trouve depuis quelques années au cœur de multiples enjeux comme la mondialisation et la " marchandisation " du monde. Dans le même temps, elle témoigne d'une approche française très particulière qui a toujours fait des arts un enjeu politique tout autant que culturel.
