Alzheimer's disease has not only profound medical consequences for the individual experiencing it but a life-changing impact on those around them. From the moment a person is suspected to be suffering from Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, the interactions they encounter progressively change. Forgetting Items focuses on that social experience of Alzheimer's, delineating the ways disease symptoms manifest and are understood through the interactions between patients and the people around them. Mapping out those interactions takes readers through the offices of geriatricians, into patients' narratives and interviews with caregivers, down the corridors of nursing homes, and into the discourses shaping public policies and media coverage. Revealing the everyday experience of Alzheimer's helps us better understand the depth of its impact and points us toward more knowledgeable, holistic ways to help treat the disease.

With this timely commitment, Jacques Bidet unites the theories of arguably the world's two greatest emancipatory political thinkers. In this far-reaching and decisive text, Bidet examines Marxian and Foucauldian criticisms of capitalist modernity. For Marx, the intersection between capital and the market is crucial, while for Foucault, the organizational aspects of capital are what really matter. According to Marx, the ruling class is identified with property; with Foucault, it is the managers who hold power and knowledge that rule. Bidet identifies these two sides of capitalist modernity as 'market' and 'organization', showing that each leads to specific forms of social conflict; against exploitation and austerity, over wages and pensions on the one hand, and against forms of 'medical' and work-based discipline, control of bodies and prisons on the other. Bidet's impetus and clarity however serve a greater purpose: uniting two souls of critical social theory, in order to overcome what has become an age-long separation between the 'old left' and the 'new social movements'.
Das Konzept des sozialen Feldes spielt eine zentrale Rolle in Forschungen verschiedener sozialwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen. Die in Band 1 versammelten Beiträge zeigen, dass feldanalytische Arbeiten unterschiedlicher Provenienz aus einem gemeinsamen Forschungsprogramm hervorgehen. Der Band ist in drei Abschnitte gegliedert. Im ersten Teil sind Beiträge versammelt, die die theoretischen und methodologischen Grundzüge des feldanalytischen Forschungsprogramms herausarbeiten. Die Beiträge des zweiten Teils stellen unterschiedliche Instrumente der gegenstandsbezogenen Theoriebildung vor, wobei das Spektrum von teilnehmender Beobachtung bis zur geometrischen Datenanalyse reicht. Der dritte Teil widmet sich der Analyse des wissenschaftlichen Feldes.
Après « La pensée post-nazie » et « L’autre pensée 68 », tous deux publiés au printemps 2018, voici le dernier volume de l’extraordinaire chantier de Michel Onfray : écrire une « contre-histoire » de la philosophie, cheminant le long de la philosophie officielle, majoritaire, face à elle, et envisager une contre-philosophie embrassant tous les domaines, métaphysiques, esthétiques, politiques, phénoménologiques, poétiques, sociaux. Et proposant des œuvres, des lectures, des philosophes inconnus. Voici donc « La résistance au nihilisme ». « Les promesses de Mai n’ont pas été tenues. La révolution politique n’a pas eu lieu, quelle qu’aient pu être ses formes....
Michel Foucault's death in 1984 coincided with the fading away of the hopes for social transformation that characterized the postwar period. In the decades following his death, neoliberalism has triumphed and attacks on social rights have become increasingly bold. If Foucault was not a direct witness of these years, his work on neoliberalism is nonetheless prescient: the question of liberalism occupies an important place in his last works. Since his death, Foucault's conceptual apparatus has acquired a central, even dominant position for a substantial segment of the world's intellectual left. However, as the contributions to this volume demonstrate, Foucault's attitude towards neoliberalism ...
Luis Sáez Rueda emprende en este libro la ambiciosa tarea de mostrar las bases de la crisis que atraviesa Occidente, conectando sus causas sociales y políticas a dinámicas más profundas incrustadas en el subsuelo espiritual de la cultura. La tesis central del autor afirma el ocaso de las potencias creativas que subyacen a la interpretación del mundo y el modus operandi que conforman el modo de ser de nuestra civilización. Al unísono, da cuenta de un nuevo malestar en la cultura, un sentimiento asfixiante en el inconsciente colectivo que se expande de forma clandestina. Sobre la base de este análisis, Sáez sostiene que el ocaso de Occidente radica en su agenesia (la impotencia de su ...
