Marx et les marges du monde

Il ne s’agit pas seulement de tenter de donner des nouvelles différentes, ni d’analyser ce qui s’y passe, mais aussi de changer la grille de lecture à travers laquelle nous regardons l’Orient. Il faut arriver à se défaire de cette vision eurocentriste et occidentalo-centriste qui caractérise souvent les médias et les intellectuels, y compris de gauche. C’est pour cette raison que j’évoque ici ce livre qui pourrait apparaître bien loin des sujets habituels, celui de Kevin B.

Philosophie: Wir sind dreifach frei. Dem Frankfurter Philosophen Axel Honneth ist mit seinem neuen Buch »Das Recht der Freiheit« ein Kunststück geglückt: Er zeigt, dass im alten Hegel ein aktueller Kritiker unserer modernen Gesellschaften steckt.

“Traditionalist” Islamic activism

In the days immediately following 9/11/01, the Council invited a wide range of leading social scientists to write short essays for an online forum. Ten years later, these same contributors have been asked to reflect on what has changed and what remains the same. The result is an extraordinary collection of new essays, with contributions from Rajeev Bhargava, Mary Kaldor, David Held, Olivier Roy, Saskia Sassen, Veena Das, Richard Falk, and many others. —ed. At the time of the 9/11 attacks, commentators trying to analyze Afghan support for Al-Qaeda put a great deal of emphasis on the Taliban’s sectarian orientation as “Deobandi.” The problem was that commentators took to formulating a simple syllogism: The Taliban were Deobandis. Risk. Risk. Second-order simulacra - Wikipedia. Second-order simulacra. Part of the three order simulacra, the Second-order simulacra, a term coined by Jean Baudrillard, are symbols of a non faithful representation to the original.

Here, signs and images do not faithfully show us reality, but might hint at the existence of something real which the sign itself is incapable of encapsulating.[1] While the first-order simulacra is a faithful copy to the original and the third order are symbols that have become without referents, that is, symbols with no real object to represent but pretends to be a faithful copy of an original. Simply put, a third-order simulacra are symbols in themselves taken for reality and further layer of symbolism is added. This occurs when the symbol is taken to be more important or authoritative of the original entity, authenticity has been replaced by copy (thus reality is replaced by a substitute).

"On Glocalization coming of Age" by Zygmunt Bauman

Stripping the place of its importance means that no place can any longer consider its own plight and potency, fullness or void, dramas played in and spectators they attract, as its private mattes. Places may (and do) propose, but it is now the turn of the unknown/uncontrolled/intractable/unpredictable forces roaming in the “space of flows” to dispose. Initiatives are as before local, but their consequences are now global, staying stubbornly beyond the predicting/planning/steering powers of the initiative’s birthplace, or any other place for that matter.

The causal-mechanisms theory of social explanation has been influential throughout an extensive network of European philosophers and social scientists, often with a pretty direct connection to the analytical sociology research programme.

Peter Hedstrom and his research network are particularly influential in this spread of ideas. It is worth mentioning a couple of books in the past ten years that have brought this approach to non-English speakers. Philosopher Michael Schmid published Die Logik mechanismischer Erklärungen.

" In the following interview, Bell discusses her experience as a "Thinker in Residence" and how anthropology concepts can be used to make tech more consumer centric. You were an Adelaide "Thinker in Residence" for South Australia. What does that involve? Genevieve Bell: The South Australian government over the last seven years has invested in a program to bring preeminent thinkers from around the world to tackle the problems of the future of the state. I was the first Australian, which was very odd.
