Troubled Persons Industries
This book critiques the use of psychiatric labelling and psychiatric narratives in everyday areas of institutional and social life across the globe. It engages an interpretive sociology, emphasising the medial and individual everyday practices of medicalisation, and their role in establishing and diffusing conceptions of mental (ab)normality. The reconstruction of psychiatric narratives is currently taking place in multiple contexts, many of which are no longer strictly psychiatric. On the one hand, psychiatric narratives now pervade contemporary public discourses and institutions though advertising, news and internet sites. On the other hand, professionals like social workers, teachers, cou...

La société de provocation
Pendant que l’on contraint les migrants à errer dans des camps ou à sombrer dans la mer, des traders de bitcoin et des pirates libertariens perfectionnent l’art de la fuite et se réfugient sur leurs mégayachts, leurs îles artificielles, voire dans des fusées à l’allure phallique. Tandis que la terre brûle, Elon Musk envoie une voiture flotter dans l’espace et rêve de coloniser Mars. Alors que le prix des aliments de base ne cesse de grimper, l’industrie agroalimentaire gonfle ses profits et, à la télé, on célèbre des chefs qui transforment la cuisine paysanne en haute gastronomie. Bernés par les prestidigitations des ultrariches, nous les regardons, stupéfaits, dilapider les ressources de la planète. Dans son roman Chien blanc, Romain Gary appelle «société de provocation» cet ordre social où l’exhibitionnisme de la richesse érige en vertu la démesure et le luxe ostentatoire tout en privant une part de plus en plus large de la population des moyens de satisfaire ses besoins réels. Ce pamphlet cinglant énumère et analyse les mille façons qu’ont les ultrariches de nous nuire, et invite à rompre avec cette société de provocation.
Bombs, Bullets, and Politicians
In the weeks following the 9/11 attacks, the mainstream political elite in Washington, DC acquiesced to every major decision taken by George W. Bush's administration while partisan politics in Congress ceased. As a nation and its representatives rallied around their leader, the diversity of opinions and the role of political opposition seemed suddenly less vital. A similar unity materialized in the aftermath of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo in January 2015, as millions marched across Paris and the "Marseillaise" resonated throughout France. Emphasizing France's distinctive struggle against terrorism between 1980 and 2016, Bombs, Bullets and Politicians presents a comparative analysis of how p...
