This article provides a survey of the growth of research on Nonprofit Sector and Voluntary Action Research, now termed simply voluntaristics. The author founded the organized, global, interdisciplinary, socio-behavioral science field of voluntaristics in 1971, with his formation and establishment of the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA; www.arnova.org).

The Oxford Handbook of French Politics provides a comprehensive and comparative overview of the French political system through the lens of political science. The Handbook is organized into three parts: the first part identifies foundational concepts for the French case, including chapters on republicanism and social welfare; the second part focuses on thematic large-scale processes, such identity, governance, and globalization; while the third part examines a wide range of issues relating to substantive politics and policy, among which are chapters on political representation, political culture, social movements, economic policy, gender policy, and defense and security policy. The volume brings together established and emerging scholars and seeks to examine the French political system from a comparative perspective. The contributors provide a state-of-the-art review both of the comparative scholarly literature and the study of the French case, making The Oxford Handbook of French Politics an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the foundations of contemporary political life in France.
The number of one-person households is rising steeply all over the world and a growing proportion of these 'new singles' are women. It is estimated that one woman in three lives on her own. This development reflects general social trends, ranging from rising divorce rates to the growing professionalization of women and their dissatisfaction with a traditional model that offers them a future organized solely around 'husband-baby-home'. At the same time, the attractions of that model still linger and the fairytale prince is by no means a figure from a story or a remote past. Even in an age in which the internet promises that love is 'just a click away', many women still wait for their prince t...
What does it mean to be gayfriendly? Having gay friends, supporting gay marriage, remaining unfazed when one’s son or daughter comes out? Going to gay bars or questioning one’s own sexual orientation? There is no single model of ‘gayfriendliness’, but rather different attitudes which vary according to age, sex, country and life circumstance. Acceptance of homosexuality has undeniably grown, and homosexuality is increasingly seen as one form of sexuality among others. But embedded in this liberal vision is a perspective that is more troubling. Based on interviews with gayfriendly straight people in the liberal neighbourhoods of Park Slope in New York and the Marais in Paris, Sylvie Ti...

“마녀들의 전쟁은 아직 끝나지 않았다!” 프랑스 서점가를 단숨에 점령한 인문사회 분야 베스트셀러 마녀사냥의 표적이 된 여성들을 톺아보는 페미니즘 바이블 이 작품은 오랜 과거부터 현재까지 ‘마녀’가 갖는 지대한 인식을 다루며 우리가 마주하고 있는 여성상에 새로운 생명력을 부여하는 작품이다. 우리가 아는 마녀는 몇 천 명이 살해당했던 르네상스 시대 마녀사냥 속 이미지가 대부분이었다. 하지만 과거에 벌어졌던 지독한 여성 혐오는 이제 자유롭고 긍정적인 힘을 가진 여성 이미지로 탈바꿈하였다. 물론 여전히 ...
Qu'est-ce qu'une femme seule ? Une « célibattante » préoccupée par sa seule carrière professionnelle ? Une veuve éplorée qui se consacre aux siens ? Une mère qui élève seule ses enfants en rêvant au prince charmant ? C'est ce qu'on pourrait croire à la lecture des publications de toute nature qui fleurissent chaque année sur le sujet en en présentant une image le plus souvent apitoyée. S'inscrivant en faux contre ces discours dominants, ce livre propose une étude de la situation des femmes vivant seules, à travers l'examen de la place qui leur est accordée dans nos sociétés au cours du temps et à travers l'analyse sociologique de récits de vie de femmes seules de tous ...
