Mediating Museums
This book documents and interprets the trajectory of ethnographic museums in Tunisia from the colonial to the post-revolutionary period, demonstrating changes and continuities in role, setting and architecture across shifting ideological landscapes. The display of everyday culture in museums is generally looked down upon as being kitsch and old-fashioned. This research shows that, in Tunisia, ethnographic museums have been highly significant sites in the definition of social identities. They have worked as sites that diffuse social, economic and political tensions through a vast array of means, such as the exhibition itself, architecture, activities, tourism, and consumerism. The book excava...
Protecting the Mind
This book offers a comprehensive analysis of philosophical, social, ethical, and legal challenges arising as a consequences of current advances in neurosciences and neurotechnology. It starts by offering an overview of fundamental concepts such as mental privacy, personal autonomy, mental integrity, and responsibility, among others. In turn, it discusses the influence of possible misuses or uncontrolled uses of neurotechnology on those concepts, and, more in general, on human rights and equality. Then, it makes some original proposals to deal with the main ethical, legal, and social problems associated to the use of neurotechnology, both in medicine and in everyday life, suggesting possible ...
Perilous Medicine
Pervasive violence against hospitals, patients, doctors, and other health workers has become a horrifically common feature of modern war.

In a dozen case studies, he shares the stories of people wh...

Arnaques et névroses dans le monde des lettres et des arts sous l'Occupation (1939-1945)
En couverture : François Boucher, Orphée charmant les animaux Photomontage Pierre Darmon. Sous l’Occupation, arnaques et névroses s’épanouissent à ciel ouvert dans le monde des arts et des lettres. A la faveur du vide idéologique, des places laissées vacantes par les parias du régime de Vichy, des coupes claires de la censure ou de la nécessité de plaire aux maitres de l’heure, le monde de la culture, privé de repères, donne naissance à des productions inattendues ou bizarres. Englués dans le piège de la collaboration, des escrocs, des artistes ou des auteurs parfois connus et talentueux mais fragiles se font faux prophètes et glissent vers la névrose. Culture de l’e...
Les Mécanismes de la violence
Qu'est-ce que la violence ? Voilà un terme polysémique, dont on use et on abuse - surtout aujourd'hui, à l'heure des " politiques sécuritaires ". Le but de ce livre est de montrer que la violence correspond avant tout à un domaine de la recherche en sciences humaines en pleine expansion et par ailleurs peut-être un des rares vrais lieux de la transdisciplinarité où se croisent inévitablement l'histoire, l'anthropologie, la sociologie, la psychologie, les sciences de l'évolution et les sciences politiques. Coordonné par Régis Meyran. Ont participé à cet ouvrage : Marc Augé, Christian Baudelot, Philippe Braud, Maurice Cusson, Alain Dewerpe, Jean-François Dortier, Didier Fassin, Dominique Lhuilier, Pierre Manonni, Jacques Miermont, Laurent Mucchielli, Jean de Munck , Christian Nadeau, Mouzayan Osseiran-Houbballah, Michel Porret, Jacques Sémelin, Vincent Troger, Michel Wieviorka, Vincent Yzerbyt...
