Maladie mentale et sens commun
Parallèlement aux théories et aux discours scientifiques concernant la maladie mentale, existent des discours profanes par lesquels s’exprime tout un univers d’opinions, d’intentions, de sentiments, mais aussi d’images et de symboles. Ce sont ces discours de sens commun qui sont analysés dans le livre de Marie-Noëlle Schurmans. L’auteur ne prétend pas en formuler une description exhaustive, mais tente de transmettre au lecteur, spécialiste ou non, une grille d’analyse qui lui permette d’interroger ses propres conceptions de la différence et de la « folie ». Cette étude très détaillée démontre l’existence, dans la structure des représentations sociales de la mal...

Combatting Homophobia
Discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity concerns everybody, but it is foremost lesbian and gay persons who have to deal with it, especially when confronting the discovery of their homosexuality as a child or adolescent. In this book, education practitioners working with youth and researchers - from social, political, and educational sciences, as well as theology and philosophy - raise awareness of the wide spectrum of homophobia and offer solutions to the suffering it engenders in youths. The book will be helpful for parents, teachers, and others who are responsible for youth and education. It reviews concrete knowledge, combines it with scientific approaches, and identifies the need for further research. (Series: Gender-Diskussion - Vol. 13)

Les solitudes
De quoi est faite une solitude que l'on ne comprend pas ? Pourquoi suscite-t-elle spontanément la peur ? La façon dont nous pouvons la ressentir n'est-elle pas multiple et évolutive ? Pouvons-nous l'apprivoiser, la transformer, y échapper ? Basé sur les récits d'expériences vécues, ce livre répond à ces questions. En mettant en lumière les différentes espèces de solitude. En montant que l'expérience de solitude doit être comprise comme une histoire singulière qui s'inscrit au cœur de l'histoire collective. En identifiant ce qui est à la source de chaque histoire, ce qui fonde le lien social et ce qui permet le changement.
The Image of Madness
Negative moral judgements seem to have been a constant fixture in the way societies and cultures have regarded groups displaying deviant behavior. This is particularly true of the mentally ill. Stereotypes are most ingrained for mental pathologies with heightened visibility in society, such as schizophrenia. Preconceived notions about danger, occult powers and mysterious malevolence which hover over the illness, contribute to the total debasement of the patient. Persons suffering from other forms of mental illness are stigmatized to a lesser degree. But the threat is real that labeling will extend to every endeavor linked to mental illness: care facilities, professionals, therapies in genera...
Bourdieu on Religion
Pierre Bourdieu was one of the most influential social theorists of our time. He developed a series of concepts to uncover the way society works and to challenge assumptions about what society is. His ideas illuminate how individuals and groups find value and meaning and so have rapidly come to be seen as hugely productive in analysing how religion works in society. 'Bourdieu on Religion' introduces students to Bourdieu's key concepts: cultural, social and symbolic capital; habitus and field; and his challenge to the structures of social inequality. This study will be invaluable to any student interested in the relationships between religion, class and social power.
