Idology in Transcultural Perspective
This edited volume expands on what Aoyagi Hiroshi intended in the first decade of the new millennium to establish as a subfield of symbolic anthropology called “idology.” It brings together case studies of popular idolatry in Japan, but goes further to provide a transcultural perspective to guide anthropological investigations in different places and times. In proposing an integrated paradigm for the growing body of literature on idols, the volume redirects recurrent questions to more fundamental points of sociocultural inquiry. Contributions from scholars conducting ethnographic fieldwork, as well as those engaged in theoretical and historical analyses, facilitate comparative reading and critical thought. Exceeding a narrow focus on human idols, the chapters shed new light on virtual idols and YouTubers, cartoon characters and voices, robot idols and cybernetic systems. Science and technology studies thus comes together with theories of animation and anthropological work on life in more-than-human worlds.

Substance Misuse in Psychosis
The prevalence of substance abuse in the severely mentally ill is higher than that in the general population, making this a serious issue for clinicians. Integrated treatment, although the most widely adopted approach, is subject to tremendous variation in its operationalisation, especially throughout different parts of the world. Substance Misuse in Psychosis presents the latest international developments and practical treatment interventions that can be used with co-morbid individuals and their families. Different social and cultural contexts are described and contrasted, along with treatment approaches that have been tailored to address the needs of the severely mentally ill. A final section considers sub-groups, e.g. the young, the homeless, outlining the special issues that need to be considered when providing services for these groups.

Assumes that corruption is the root of Latin America's economic, social and political problems. Proposes the creation of a supranational Inter-American State comprising those Latin American countries willing or in need to participate, with the added minority and participation of representatives of both the European Union and the United States, in order to obtain mutual and external aid in good public governance.

Et si le kiebe-kiebe vous était conté ?
Le Kiebe-Kiebe, société traditionnelle et initiatique des populations septentrionales du Congo, perd progressivement la richesse de son enseignement pour devenir une simple association folklorique. Ce livre est le fruit des observations et des entretiens de l'auteur avec les grands initiés de cette société. Il jette la lumière sur ce monde fermé au coeur de la République du Congo, en relevant les similitudes entre sa doctrine, sa pratique et les symboles pharaoniques de l'Égypte antique, avant de lancer un appel sur fond d'inquiétude à propos de l'avenir du Kiebe-Kiebe en particulier et de celui de la culture congolaise en général.
