Communication et organisation
Les transformations organisationnelles qui accompagnent l'évolution du capitalisme depuis 30 ans donnent une place centrale à la communication.

Quelles catégories de la critique (aliénation, exploitation, domination...) sont convoquées ? Quels sont les fondements théoriques et épistémologiques d'une telle démarche ? Q...
Psychoanalytic Essays on Power and Vulnerability

Two hypotheses will be explored: It is possible to discern psychodynamic evidence that unresolved humiliation trauma is being re-evoked and recycled by attempts to find solutions and cures through the tyranny of austerity measures. But the question will be asked whether these are “chosen trauma” (Volkan, 2010) which may be at the heart of the foundation matrix (Foulkes, 1973) of the European Community. The exploration of political and economic leadership in the crisis in the European Union builds on the notion of society...
