Silver Empowerment
Silver empowerment is a valuable paradigm to improve care and support systems for older persons. It aims to counteract the dominant image of ageing, which is all too often one of decline, dependency and vulnerability, and rather sees ageing and the ageing population as a challenge that opens up new opportunities. By focusing on the strengths and connections of older persons, silver empowerment strives for an inclusive, age-friendly society that will allow everyone to grow old with dignity and meaning. In this book, leading academics from a variety of disciplines discuss ways to enhance the empowerment of older persons in practice. Covering a wide range of topics such as resilience, loneliness, community-based care, the interplay between formal and informal care, the inclusion of older persons’ perspectives in research and care, and empowering policy, Silver Empowerment is of interest to academics, policy makers and practitioners interested in empowerment and care and support systems for older persons.

Orphans and Destitute Children in the Late Ottoman Empire
History books often weave tales of rising and falling empires, royal dynasties, and wars among powerful nations. Here, Maksudyan succeeds in making those who are farthest removed from power the lead actors in this history. Focusing on orphans and destitute youth of the late Ottoman Empire, the author gives voice to those children who have long been neglected. Their experiences and perspectives shed new light on many significant developments of the late Ottoman period, providing an alternative narrative that recognizes children as historical agents. Maksudyan takes the reader from the intimate world of infant foundlings to the larger international context of missionary orphanages, all while focusing on Ottoman modernization, urbanization, citizenship, and the maintenance of order and security. Drawing upon archival records, she explores the ways in which the treatment of orphans intersected with welfare, labor, and state building in the Empire. Throughout the book, Maksudyan does not lose sight of her lead actors, and the influence of the children is always present if we simply listen and notice carefully as Maksudyan so convincingly argues.
Generations of Empire
In 1912, Italy occupied Rhodes, an Ottoman town inhabited by Greek Orthodox, Muslims, Jews, and Catholics. Rhodes became a territory of Italy’s empire in 1923 following the Treaty of Lausanne, only one year after Mussolini seized power in Rome. The Ottoman demise corresponded to the expansion of fascist imperialism in the Mediterranean. Both the Ottoman Young Turks and Italian colonial governors invoked the role of a "new generation" of youth in imperial rule. Generations of Empire investigates the relationship between state and society in light of successive transformations of imperial rule, rethinking Italian colonialism as post-Ottoman history. Andreas Guidi explores how communal life i...
Du sordide au mythe
À la fin du XIXe siècle, Bruxelles est secouée par un scandale révélant la présence de mineures anglaises dans les maisons closes de la capitale. En cascade, les répercussions de l'« affaire de la traite des blanches » sont immédiates (campagnes médiatiques, enquêtes, séries de procès). À bien des égards, l’histoire des « petites anglaises » fait aussi l’effet d’un véritable détonateur : elle déliera les imaginaires et déchaînera les passions sur la fameuse question de la « traite des blanches », en Belgique et ailleurs, pendant de longues décennies. Issues d’un projet collectif de longue haleine, les contributions de cet ouvrage portent sur l’anatomie du ...

Préférant miséricorde à rigueur de justice
Les contributions de ce volume montrent que la clémence est le complément indispensable de la sévérité dans l'exercice de la justice du XIIIe au XVIIe siècle et nuancent ainsi l’image d’une justice médiévale expéditive et sanguinaire.
