L'esclavage domestique est un sujet tabou. Pourtant, à Paris, Inge Ghijs parvient à interviewer une jeune Togolaise qui a dû travailler comme une véritable esclave, qui a été enfermée et battue lorsqu'elle était domestique interne. " Jamais auparavant une rencontre, un récit n'avaient hanté mon esprit aussi longtemps et avec une telle force ", déclare la célèbre journaliste du Standaard. Elle décide alors d'enquêter pour voir si l'esclavage domestique existe aussi en Belgique. Son enquête progresse péniblement mais, finalement, elle découvre avec étonnement et indignation des dizaines de personnes du tiers-monde, principalement des femmes, contraintes de vivre et de travai...
Sixteenth-century Brussels and Antwerp in combination formed the northern linchpin of an international communication network that covered Western and Central Europe. In the seventeenth century both cities saw the rise of newspapers that compare revealingly with those produced in Germany, the Dutch Republic, England and France. In From Ghent to Aix, Paul Arblaster examines the services that carried the news, the types of news publicized, and the relationship of these newspapers to Baroque Europe’s other methods of public communication, from drums and trumpets, ceremonies and sermons, to almanacs, pamphlets, pasquinades and newsletters. The merchant’s need for information and the government’s desire to influence opinion together opened up a space in which a new social force would take root: the media.
This book explores the dynamic interplay between cross-national and cross-cultural patterns of female migration, integration and social change, by focusing on the specific case of Belgium. It provides insight into the dynamic interplay between gender and migration, and especially contributes to the knowledge of how migration changes gender relations in Belgium, as well as in the regions of origin. To this end, an analytical model for conducting gender-sensitive migration research is developed out of an initial theory-driven conceptual model. Employing a transversal approach, the researchers reveal similarities and differences across national backgrounds, disclosing the underlying, more "universal" gender dynamics.
De vurige debatten rond de stikstofproblematiek, de droogte, het biodiversiteitsverlies, de seizoensarbeid en de overmatige vleesproductie en -consumptie hebben landbouw weer helemaal op de maatschappelijke en politieke agenda gezet. De vraag dringt zich stilaan op of we in Vlaanderen en Europa effectief nog op een duurzame en economisch rendabele manier aan landbouw kunnen doen en hoe die landbouw dan vorm moet krijgen. Het huidige debat is echter sterk polariserend: landbouw versus ecologie, vermarkting versus subsistentie, schaalvergroting versus familiebedrijven, comparatieve voordelen en specialisatie versus diversiteit, enzovoort. Polariserende discussies brengen helaas zelden antwoord...
