Shooting the Family
Shooting the Family, a collection of essays on the contemporary media landscape, explores ever-changing representations of family life on a global scale. The contributors argue that new recording technologies allows families an unusual kind of freedom—until now unknown—to define and respond to their own lives and memories. Recently released videos made by young émigrés as they discover new homelands and resolve conflicts with their parents, for example, reverberate alongside the dark portrayals of family life in the formal filmmaking of Ang Lee. This book will be a boon to scholars of film theory and media studies, as well as to anyone interested in the construction of the family in a postmodern world.

Handbook of Teaching Public Policy
Pragmatic, progressive and global in its approach, this Handbook centres around the key question: How can we teach public policy? Presenting a wide variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, it expertly examines current approaches to teaching public policy and critically reflects on potential future developments in the field.
The Mimetic Brain
The discovery of mirror neurons in the 1990s led to an explosion of research and debate about the imitative capacities of the human brain. Some herald a paradigm shift on the order of DNA in biology, while others remain skeptical. In this revolutionary volume Jean- Michel Oughourlian shows how the hypotheses of René Girard can be combined with the insights of neuroscientists to shed new light on the “mimetic brain.” Offering up clinical studies and a complete reevaluation of classical psychiatry, Oughourlian explores the interaction among reason, emotions, and imitation and reveals that rivalry—the blind spot in contemporary neuroscientific understandings of imitation—is a misunderstood driving force behind mental illness. Oughourlian’s analyses shake the very foundations of psychiatry as we know it and open up new avenues for both theoretical research and clinical practice.
Goût de vivre (Le)
Face à la souffrance qui accompagne tant d’événements de l’existence, c’est le goût de vivre qui nous permet d’aimer, d’aider, de soulager. C’est l’échange de paroles qui fait de nous des humains et qui façonne nos mondes intérieurs. C’est la parole, source de nos bonheurs comme de nos peines, qui nous fait vivre dans un mélange subtil de réel, d’imaginaire et de symbolique. Pour savourer le goût de vivre, sachons ensemble retrouver la parole perdue, car nous avons encore tant de choses à nous dire… Édouard Zarifian est professeur émérite de psychiatrie et de psychologie médicale à l’université de Caen. Il a notamment publié Les Jardiniers de la folie, Des paradis plein la têteet La Force de guérir, qui ont été de très grands succès de librairie.
A Violent Peace
"Confronted with the roiling changes of the post-WWI world--from growing stateless populations to the resurgence of right-wing movements--the League of Nations aimed to counteract dangerous conflicts between national interests and generate instead a transnational, cosmopolitan dialogue on truth and justice. Amid widespread anxiety over truth and falsehood, an army of League personnel produced streams of documents in the pursuit of "shaping global public opinion." Combining the tools of global intellectual history and cultural history, A Violent Peace explores the power and the vulnerability of information systems while laying bare "the anatomy of fascism" in the interwar period. Carolyn Biltoft reopens the archives of the League to show how its attempt to operationalize information science in support of the post-WWI order proved ultimately pyrrhic as informational power struggles devolved into violence. A meditation on instability in information systems, the allure of fascism, and the contradictions at the heart of a global and violent modernity, A Violent Peace paints a rich portrait of the emergence of the age of information--and all its attendant problems"--
Le deuil impossible
Cet ouvrage présente un modèle de psychothérapie original qui s’inscrit dans le courant de la thérapie familiale systémique. Toute intervention psychothérapeutique est sous-tendue par un questionnement du sens de ce qui se dit et se passe au sein du système familial. L’auteur s’interroge plus particulièrement sur la place « offerte » par la famille au thérapeute. Se fondant sur les hypothèses qui émergent au cours même de la psychothérapie, il propose de rechercher s’il existe un membre de la famille, aujourd’hui absent, qui a précédemment joué un rôle indispensable au maintien de l’équilibre émotionnel du groupe familial. Le deuil de ce tiers pesant risque a...
