Après avoir publié des ouvrages sur les passions sociales, la nostalgie, la honte et les remords, Antigone Mouchtouris poursuit un cycle de réflexions sur le rôle des émotions dans la vie sociale. Les analyses sociologiques sur la dimension sociale des émotions sont peu nombreuses. Ce livre comble cette lacune en privilégiant l'idée que tout commence par des émotions. Toutes les grandes transformations des actions humaines ont la particularité d'être à la fois personnelles et collectives ; elles ont la capacité de créer les liens sociaux qui aboutissent à de nouveaux rapports au monde. En privilégiant les émotions, cet ouvrage met en lumière leur propriété de mobiles des actions transformatrices.

Several years before Denmark legislated against the Atlantic slave trade in 1792, the government, anticipating the decline of production in the Danish West Indies as a consequence, embarked on a policy of agricultural colonization in West Africa. Peter Thonning, a young natural historian of the highly economic and geographical Linnaean school, spent three formative years in Africa and then for decades administered Denmark's African colonial undertakings. The international movement of colonial news and ideas can very usefully be traced in his unpublished writings, especially among the Guinea Commission's extraordinarily wide-ranging records. These rich archives and contemporary published opinion in this cosmopolitan Scandinavian society open fresh perspectives on the broader history and geography of European colonialism.

Nos yeux sont à la fois mal utilisés (on s’en sert surtout pour la vision de près, notamment sur écran) et sur-utilisés puisqu’on les exploite souvent à la place des autres sens. Ils subissent donc une fatigue oculaire et des troubles divers. Grâce à un ensemble de pratiques et d’habitudes de vie, le yoga des yeux apporte des améliorations dans la vision, en réduisant le stress, bien souvent responsable de sa dégradation, en favorisant la circulation de l’énergie dans le corps et en diminuant les toxines. Pour cela, il fait appel à différentes approches complémentaires : des exercices de mobilité et de relaxation des yeux, très ludiques et très variés ; des séance...
Pour faire face aux défis éthiques, environnementaux et humains qui lui sont lancés, le monde a un besoin urgent de poésie. Au long de quelques saisons, dans la forêt du Bras-du-Nord, Jean Désy a échangé sur cette idée avec des personnes chères à son cœur, des poètes, des peintres, des artistes dans l’âme. Avec le présent livre, il nous invite à prendre place à leurs côtés, pour mieux nous immerger dans leurs pensées qui vagabondent, errent et se rencontrent sur les sentiers de la poésie essentielle.
Early on the morning of August 8, 2016, Sri T.K.V. Desikachar, son of the great yogi Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, passed away in Chennai, in the Tamil Nadu, a province of southern India.

Others, Europeans, belong to the “pioneers” who, beginning in the 1960s and 1970s, went to Madras, sometimes yearly, to study with him. Some of them had first received the teaching of Krishnamurti, in London or in Switzerland, and from there went to Madras, wishing to meet this young teacher, with whom Krishna...
