11	État, économie et population : de Malthus à Keynes et Myrdal Brodeur, Abel 07 1900 (has links) (PDF) L'accroissement de plus en plus rapide de la population mondiale pousse un grand nombre de chercheurs à s'interroger sur les limites de la croissance. Dans le même ordre d'idée, cette recherche vise à comprendre la dynamique entourant l'économie et la démographie. Une analyse exhaustive des différents écrits d'économistes permet d'approfondir la connaissance sur ce sujet précis de même qu'à répondre à une question en particulier: Quelles politiques doivent être mises en place pour améliorer le sort des affamés? Thomas Robert Malthus est l'un des premiers à avoir remis en question l'efficacité d'un accroissement de la population. Sa critique de certains des thèmes clés du courant mercantilisme marque ainsi le commencement d'une analyse privilégiant le bonheur individuel sur celui de la nation. Après s'être penché sur les différentes propositions développées par Malthus dans ses Essais sur le principe de population, il s'avère possible d'examiner l'influence qu'il a eue sur deux autres économistes, soit John Maynard Keynes et Karl Gunnar Myrdal. La présente étude analyse ainsi les idées de Keynes et de Myrdal quant à la relation économie-démographie. Bien que Keynes et Myrdal aient modifié au fil du temps leur vision quant à un accroissement démographique, il n'en demeure pas moins qu'ils conservèrent un argumentaire basé sur les théories malthusiennes. Après avoir examiné les différentes politiques démographiques proposées par ces économistes, une dernière section permet de prendre conscience des développements récents dans l'économie de la population. De plus, les politiques proposées par Malthus, Myrdal et Keynes sont analysées dans une perspective contemporaine où l'Inde et la Chine occupent une place prépondérante. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : John Maynard Keynes, Thomas Robert Malthus, néo-malthusianisme, Karl Gunnar Myrdal, population, redistribution des revenus Keynes John Maynard 1883-1946 Malthus Thomas Robert 1766-1834 Myrdal Gunnar 1898-1987 Croissance démographique Néomalthusianisme Population Répartition du revenu
12	MultipliCities : the infrastructure of African American literature, 1899-1996 Dean, Jeremy Stuart 15 October 2014 (has links) MultipliCities: The Infrastructure of African American Literature, 1899-1996 explores intersections between black fiction and canonical sociology through two extended case studies focusing on the authors Richard Wright and Paul Beatty. The formation of disciplinary sociology in the early twentieth century had a profound influence on the production and reception of African American literature. Sociologists at the University of Chicago were among the first to teach black fiction and poetry in the academy, and institutionalized a social scientific framework for comprehending black culture. This framework, which assumes that black writing produces racial knowledge about black experience, continues to pressure contemporary African American authors through the demands of the publishing industry today. At the same time, though, African American authors throughout the twentieth century have resisted sociological expectations for their work and responded critically to the social scientific study of the black community more broadly. MultipliCities studies black writers whose fiction is specifically critical of sociological conceptions of black personhood and place. While Richard Wright's best-selling Native Son (1940) has been canonized as a type of sociological fiction, I read against this critical tradition for the ways in which his juvenile delinquent protagonist, Bigger Thomas, evades his production as a social scientific object. I locate further evidence for Wright's revision of sociological knowledge production in his final, posthumously published novel, A Father's Law (1960; 2008), in which the main character is a sociologist and a serial killer who violently deforms the mastery of the social scientific expert. In my second case study, I turn to contemporary novelist Paul Beatty's post-civil rights era novel The White Boy Shuffle (1996), which I read as a mock ethnography in its description of a postindustrial ghetto that exceeds the sociological imagination of the so-called "culture of poverty." Though rap music is often interpreted as evidence of the alleged impoverishment of inner-city black community, in my final chapter I read Beatty's "hip hop novel" as challenging the social scientific expectations for black popular culture that are part of the ongoing legacy of the canonical sociology of race. / text African American literature Sociology Richard Wright Paul Beatty Native Son A Father's Law The White Boy Shuffle Robert Park Ernest Burgess Gunnar Myrdal Hip hop novel Hip hop culture

Eriksson, Britas Benjamin January 2013 (has links) Participation as Pedagogy – Imagined Race and the Exhibit of Swedish Peoples-Types. This essay will analyse and give a deeper picture of the ”The Exhibit of Swedish People-Types” by focusing on the pedagogical ideals that formed the exhibit as an participatory media. The exhibit was led by the famous race-biologist Herman Lundborg and toured Sweden in 1919 displaying the racial constitution of the Swedish population using material gathered by the public itself. The exhibit has been described as an important tool in popularising eugenics in Swedish society during the early 20th century with the ambition of gaining funds to create the first race-biological institute and to influence policy-making. Nevertheless there has not been a single study which has focused solely on the exhibit and how the pedagogical ideals that permeated it affected the relation between the public and the media itself nor the political implications of this relation. I will show that the interactive participation enacted through the exhibit both defined a hierarchical relation between public and race-biological expertise, as well as it articulated a new “imagined community”, i.e., an “imagined race”. This participatory relation was not only key in creating the exhibit but also had implications on how the public should position itself and act in relation to society at large regarding eugenic matters. This gives me an opportunity to deepen our historical knowledge of the eugenics-movement and main-line racebiological networks in early 20 h century Swedish society. This essay also contribute to the history of participatory media and the popularisation of science.

14	The midlife crisis, gender, and social science in the United States, 1970-2000 Schmidt, Susanne Antje January 2018 (has links) This thesis provides the first rigorous history of the concept of midlife crisis. It highlights the close connections between understandings of the life course and social change. It reverses accounts of popularization by showing how an idea moved from the public sphere into academia. Above all, it uncovers the feminist origins of the concept and places this in a historically little-studied tradition of writing about middle age that rejected the gendered "double standard of aging." Constructions of middle age and life-planning were not always oppressive, but often used for feminist purposes. The idea of midlife crisis became popular in the United States with journalist Gail Sheehy's Passages (1976), a critique of Erik Erikson's male-centered model of ego development and psychoanalytic constructions of gender and identity more generally. Drawing on mid-century notions of middle life as the time of a woman's entry into the public sphere, Sheehy's midlife crisis defined the onset of middle age, for men and women, as the end of traditional gender roles. As dual-earner families replaced the male breadwinner model, Passages circulated widely, read by women and men of different generations, including social scientists. Three psychoanalytic experts-Daniel Levinson, George Vaillant, and Roger Gould-rebutted Sheehy by putting forward a male-only concept of midlife as the end of a man's family obligations; they banned women from reimagining their lives. Though this became the dominant meaning of midlife crisis, it was not universally accepted. Feminist scholars, most famously the psychologist and ethicist Carol Gilligan, drew on women's experiences to challenge the midlife crisis, turning it into a sign of emotional instability, immaturity, and egotism. Resonating with widespread understandings of mental health and social responsibility, and confirmed by large-scale surveys in the late 1990s, this relegated the midlife crisis to a chauvinist cliché. It has remained a contested concept for negotiating the balances between work and life, production and reproduction into the present day.
