Murs Ne Parlent Pas
"The trilogy The Walls Don’t Speak (Les murs ne parlent pas) is the result of a three-year dialog between the photographer Jean-Robert Dantou, and an interdisciplinary Social Sciences team coordinated by the anthropologist, Florence Weber. The photographer set up his studio in various institutions (psychiatric nursing homes, private clinics, psychiatric hospitals) as well as beyond their walls, working directly with patients, friends, family and caregivers on images which mean something to them. In the first section, the authors put into perspective representations of madness in the history of photography, and propose a series of objects and texts presented as windows into the daily lives of those described as mad. In the second section, they reflect on the boundaries of madness through a series of portraits in which patients and caregivers of a psychiatric nursing home are portrayed without distinction. The third section is an essay combining photography and writing to question the limits of what can be photographed inside a closed psychiatric unit."--Site web de l'éditeur.
Explaining Mental Illness
Can the social sciences explain the emergence of mental disorders in societies or in individuals? This book presents a critical look at sociological explanations of mental illnesses, making the case for their renewal.
Edison
Edison, named for its most famous resident, inventor Thomas Alva Edison, can be called the birthplace of modern life as we know it. It was here at his Menlo Park complex that Thomas Edison created the incandescent electric lightbulb and 300 other inventions, providing residents with not only a place of employment but also a source of national pride. Known as Raritan Township until 1954, Edison was a slow-paced agricultural community until the twentieth century, with farms remaining until the 1950s. After World War II, in the country's rush to house returning war veterans, the expansive farmland became desirable real estate . Edison celebrates the township's history from its rural beginnings ...
Max Weber
Max Weber was one of the most influential and creative intellectual forces of the twentieth century. In his methodology of the social sciences, he both exposed the flaws and solidified the foundations of the German historical tradition. Throughout his life, he saw bureaucracy as a serious obstacle to cultural vitality but as an inescapable part of organizational rationality. And in his most famous essay, on the Protestant ethic, he uncovered the psychological underpinnings of capitalism and modern occupational life. This searching work offers the first comprehensive introduction to Weber's thought for students and newcomers. Fritz Ringer locates Weber in his historical context, relating his ...
L'économie domestique
Anthropologue de formation, Florence Weber a remanié en profondeur la sociologie et l'ethnographie avec ses travaux sur la culture ouvrière puis sur la parenté contemporaine. Enseignante à l'Ecole normale supérieure, elle y a formé des générations d'ethnographes et de sociologues. L'entretien lui donne pour la première fois l'occasion de mettre en perspective l'ensemble de son œuvre, avec comme points de mire la science économique et l'histoire. Exigeant, ce dialogue s'appuie sur une passion de la science qui cherche aux frontières entre les disciplines les clefs pour comprendre le monde d'aujourd'hui et de demain. La première partie porte sur l'économie domestique, et rend compte de l'ethnographie du quotidien quand elle explore les frontières morales, cognitives et rituelles entre ce qui peut être calculé et payé, et ce qui ne doit pas l'être.
