Dossier : Comment se définissent et se construisent les émotions en Grèce ancienne ? Comment sont elles instrumentalisées ? Différents types d’émotions (la douleur, l’amour, la jalousie, le dégoût, la haine, la colère, etc.), leur valeur, leur place et leurs fonctions sont analysés. Les auteurs se demandent si et en quoi, pour les Anciens, leur perception, leur description et leur compréhension, ainsi que leur pratique diffèrent des nôtres.

This edited volume, composed by military professionals in the Gray Scholars Program at Marine Corps University, describes the changing character of urban operations. The pattern of human settlement and interaction is changing and the future is urban. Because the majority of the world’s population lives within cities, the future of strategic competition and conflict reside there as well. The density and connectivity of urban environments create a new type of complex terrain. Interests change from neighborhood to neighborhood, often intersecting global, political, and economic networks. Each city block sees shifting allegiances that often seem unclear from the outside. The cityscape compresses time and space while increasing uncertainty and complicating the conduct of military operations.

This book provides a rigorous analysis of the factors underlying the Philippines’ relative economic stagnation compared with its Southeast Asian neighbors despite sustained optimistic government rhetoric. Three critical factors are identified: failure to industrialize and undergo a complete economic transformation, resulting in an underdeveloped agricultural sector and an economy dependent on low-productivity services; ineffective reforms that differ markedly from successful regional models; and self-defeating fiscal conservatism that has prevented adequate investment in essential public goods and industrial policy. Using two innovative economic models—a macro-econometric model and an employment-education forecasting model—the book offers forecasts of the Philippines' income per capita, poverty, or economic structure, through 2050. The researchers warn that unless the country’s economic policy focuses on the transformation of the economy (with emphasis on the modernization of agriculture and the development of the manufacturing sector) and the government adopts a more active role, the Philippines will experience more of the same (MOTS) during the next decades. An accessible resource for scholars, students, journalists, officials, and business professionals as an introduction to Philippine history, politics, and economy, the book will also be useful for development practitioners with its insights on structural transformation and on fiscal and monetary policy.

Over the past four decades the world has seen a 'green awakening'. Green parties have been elected to parliaments and councils all over the world. A common set of environmental priorities have been promoted by green internationalisation and these parties are playing an increasing role at all levels of political decision-making. Will this awakening continue or will the greens be corrupted by power? What impact has their politics had? Will green thinking be able to compete with other ideologies in coping with the problems of the 21st century? Green Parties, Green Future analyses over a hundred of these parties' experience from all over the world. It reveals the story of the expansion and development of the movement, from local environmental groups to national and global decision-makers.

This book offers an in-depth, contemporary, and integrative perspective on one of the most universal yet constantly evolving human realities: the family. Rather than reducing the family to a single or ideal structure, the book explores the diversity of configurations, trajectories, and experiences through which people build belonging, affection, care, responsibility, and continuity across generations. Across five chapters, the book examines the historical and social transformation of contemporary families; the development of emotional bonds, attachment, and emotional security; communication, conflict, and relational repair; as well as the challenges associated with parenting, shared responsibility, childhood, adolescence, and the development of autonomy. It also explores chronic illness, disability, dependency, caregiver burden, and the importance of support networks, before addressing some of the experiences that can most profoundly alter family life: separation, divorce, domestic violence, grief, loss, and migration. The book advances an essential idea: a family’s well-being does not depend on preserving a particular form of family life unchanged, but rather on its ability to respond to the needs of its members, protect without suppressing individuality, care without controlling, provide support without hindering autonomy, and rebuild its bonds when life transforms what once seemed permanent. Families may experience conflict, absence, illness, separation, and crisis, but they can also develop new forms of connection, care, belonging, and continuity. From a relational and deeply human perspective that is sensitive to the social conditions of our time, Contemporary Families: Bonds, Care, and Transformations invites readers to understand that the family is not a finished reality, but an ongoing, everyday construction. Its members, roles, needs, and circumstances may change; nevertheless, the possibility of caring, repairing, supporting, and rebuilding remains. A family is defined not only by its ability to remain the same, but also by its capacity to transform while continuing to recognize itself as a family.

"Innovation offers potential: to cure diseases, to better connect people, and to make the way we live and work more efficient and enjoyable. At the same time, innovation can fuel inequality, decimate livelihoods, and harm mental health. This book contends that inclusive innovation – innovation motivated by environmental and social aims – is able to uplift the benefits of innovation while reducing its harms. The book provides accessible engagement with inclusive innovation happening at the grassroots level through to policy arenas, with a focus on the South-East Asian region. Focusing on fundamental questions underpinning innovation, in terms of how, what and where, it argues that inclusive innovation has social processes and low-tech solutions as essential means of driving innovation, and that environmental concerns must be considered alongside societal aims. The book's understanding of inclusive innovation posits that marginalized or underrepresented innovators are empowered to include themselves by solving a problem that they are experiencing. The first in-depth exploration of efforts underway to assuage inequality from policy, private sector, and grassroots perspectives, this book will interest researchers in the areas of innovation studies, political economy, and development studies.

Symmetry-adapted machine learning has shown encouraging ability to mitigate the security risks in information and communication technology (ICT) systems. It is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that relies on the principles of processing future events by learning past events or historical data. The autonomous nature of symmetry-adapted machine learning supports effective data processing and analysis for security detection in ICT systems without the interference of human authorities. Many industries are developing machine-learning-adapted solutions to support security for smart hardware, distributed computing, and the cloud. In our Special Issue book, we focus on the deployment of symmetry-adapted machine learning for information security in various application areas. This security approach can support effective methods to handle the dynamic nature of security attacks by extraction and analysis of data to identify hidden patterns of data. The main topics of this Issue include malware classification, an intrusion detection system, image watermarking, color image watermarking, battlefield target aggregation behavior recognition model, IP camera, Internet of Things (IoT) security, service function chain, indoor positioning system, and crypto-analysis.

This chapter uses a discourse-theoretical analysis to study two episodes of the documentary series Along the Borders of Turkey (2012), produced and broadcast by the Dutch public broadcaster VPRO. In 2017, the VPRO web team uploaded these episodes on YouTube, which allowed viewers to comment on these episodes. Supported by a theoretical reflection on the Europeanity discourse and its contingencies, and on the hegemonic or semi-hegemonic articulations of this discourse (with a central role allocated to European benevolence), this chapter shows the discursive consequences of the material dislocations caused by different migration flows in Cyprus and in Greece. The chapter analyses how the episodes represent the contradictions between European benevolence on the one hand, and popular intolerance and the workings of the border apparatus on the other. The analysis of these episodes thus shows how Europe is discursively constructed through the ceaseless interactions and unresolved tensions between the centre and the margins, articulating a Europe of both benevolence and intolerance.

Os conceitos e aplicações da ergonomia estão em constante discussão no âmbito acadêmico, caracterizando um corpus de conhecimento de grande expressividade para a própria ciência ergonômica e demais áreas tecnológicas correlatas, a saber: engenharias, design, arquitetura, e outras. Entre as demandas para ampliar as análises em torno dessa disciplina apresenta-se sua evolução histórica, a qual está completa de controvérsias e discussões. De fato, há ainda uma grande dificuldade em relatar suas etapas históricas dentro do âmbito geográfico e a participação de seus precursores nessas fases. Assim, o propósito dessa coletânea foi o de reunir os estudos realizados pelos alunos da linha de pesquisa ergonomia, associados ao Laboratório de Ergonomia e Interfaces - LEI, no Programa de Pós-graduação em Design - PPGDesign, da Faculdade de Arquitetura, Artes e Comunicação da Universidade Estadual Paulista, e apresentar subsídios para ampliação da discussão e reflexão evolutiva da ergonomia. Os primeiros capítulos relatam os precursores da ergonomia, com destaque para Leonardo da Vinci e seus estudos na área da anatomia; Bélidor, Patissier e suas contribuições para a organização do trabalho; o Taylorismo e os aspectos da organização científica do trabalho, bem como a contribuição de Jules Amar nesse âmbito. Os demais capítulos abordam a origem e evolução da ergonomia na Europa, na Rússia (ex URSS), Estados Unidos da América, América Latina e Brasil, com ênfase a criação de laboratórios e associações não governamentais. De modo geral, os estudos ora apresentados preenchem lacunas ainda existentes dentro da ergonomia e procuram estabelecer um elo de ligação para a continuidade futura das pesquisas na área.

How do participatory museum projects with forced migrants impact both the museum and the participants? What happens during these projects and what is left of them afterwards? Based on interviews with museum practitioners, facilitators and project participants, Susanne Boersma brings together unique insights into museum work with forced migrants. Her study of participatory projects in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK reveals museums' limiting infrastructures, the shortcomings of their ethical frameworks, and the problems of addressing forced migrants as 'communities'. Outlining the diverging objectives, experiences and outcomes of participatory projects, she suggests how these might be united in practice.

An invitation to an ethnographic journey in the world of hardcore punk and beyond, this study explores the plurality of practices underlying the existence of this “music-based subculture.” Based on a fine-grained, in-depth multi-sited and mobile ethnographic study of more than ten years, this journey brings the reader to the most local galleries of this underground scene. From the umpteenth basement of a Yokohama club to a shack in the middle of the University of San Diego, via Gothenburg, Tokyo, Geneva or Lyon, a whole repertoire of aesthetic, ideological, discursive and bodily logics and conventions is uncovered and analyzed. Hardcore punk, a radical reinterpretation of punk, both from a musical and an ideological point of view, first appeared on the East Coast of the United States in the early 1980s. Although it has since spread on a (quasi-)global scale, it remains unknown to the general public and has attracted little interest from the social sciences or the press, with rare exceptions focusing on its most spectacular aspects: exacerbated aggression, electric music, ideological positions in strong opposition to the “dominant system.” This monograph intends to go beyond these caricatural representations and adopts an anthropological perspective on the daily lives of so-called hardcore-kids, but also on all the collective mediations deployed to build the world of hardcore punk.
