Comment arrivons-nous à dessiner le cours de notre vie ? Être sujet de son existence - une conquête historique - implique un travail complexe, éprouvant et risqué. Jean-Claude Kaufmann nous ouvre les portes de cette petite fabrique de s'inventer. Où l'on trouve beaucoup de passion créative, mais aussi beaucoup de désarroi, d'implosions individuelles et d'explosions collectives. Délivré des cadres traditionnels, l'individu moderne tombe en panne sitôt qu'il ne croit plus à sa propre histoire : l'analyse, parfaitement documentée, ouvre sur la question de l'identité. Une notion devenue omniprésente sans être jamais clairement définie. Après un bilan critique de l'histoire du concept, Jean-Claude Kaufmann nous propose une théorie, ancrée dans l'actualité la plus vive, qui rend subitement plus intelligible notre horizon brouillé. Une révolution est en passe de changer la face du monde. Comprendre où elle nous entraîne est une urgence vitale : pour le meilleur et pour le pire, nous sommes désormais entrés dans l'âge des identités. Jean-Claude Kaufmann, sociologue, directeur de recherche au CNRS (CERLIS, université Paris 5-Sorbonne) est l'auteur notamment d'Ego pour une sociologie de l'individu, ainsi que de plusieurs livres d'enquêtes, sur le couple ou la vie quotidienne, qui ont connu un large succès, et sont réutilisés ici même comme illustration. L'identité et son histoire. D'où vient le concept d'identité ? Le retournement historique : une théorie de l'identité. L'identité et ses contraires. La nature de l'identité. Identité individuelle et identité collective. Identité biographique et identité immédiate. L'identité comme condition de l'action. Le social reformulé par l'identité Voice. Les explosions identitaires. Exit. Le retrait. Loyalty. Les identités froides. Conclusion Post-Scriptum : La fable du Système.

In The Tears of the Black Man, award-winning author Alain Mabanckou explores what it means to be black in the world today. Mabanckou confronts the long and entangled history of Africa, France, and the United States as it has been shaped by slavery, colonialism, and their legacy today. Without ignoring the injustices and prejudice still facing blacks, he distances himself from resentment and victimhood, arguing that focusing too intensely on the crimes of the past is limiting. Instead, it is time to ask: Now what? Embracing the challenges faced by ethnic minority communities today, The Tears of the Black Man looks to the future, choosing to believe that the history of Africa has yet to be written and seeking a path toward affirmation and reconciliation.

Groping around a familiar room in the dark, or learning to read again after a traumatic brain injury; navigating a virtual landscape through an avatar, or envisioning a scene through the eyes of a character—all of these are expressions of one fundamental property of life, Alain Berthoz argues. They are instances of vicariance, when the brain sidesteps an impasse by substituting one process or function for another. In The Vicarious Brain, Creator of Worlds, Berthoz shows that this capacity is the foundation of the human ability to think creatively and function in a complex world. Vicariance is often associated with proxies and delegates, but it also refers to a biological process in which a healthy organ takes over for a defective counterpart. Berthoz, a neuroscientist, approaches vicariance through neuronal networks, asking how, for example, a blind person can develop a heightened sense of touch. He also describes how our brains model physical reality and how we use these models to understand things that are foreign to us. Forging across disciplinary boundaries, he explores notions of the vicarious in paleontology, ethology, art, literature, and psychology. Through an absorbing examination of numerous facets of vicariance, Berthoz reveals its impact on an individual’s daily decision making and, more broadly, on the brain’s creation of worlds. As our personal and social lives are transformed by virtual realities, it is more crucial than ever before that we understand vicariance within our increasingly complex environment, and as an aspect of our own multiplying identities.

Luxembourg - international financial center, European administrative center, destination country for immigration? This empirical study provides insights about a society that has hitherto largely eluded scientific investigation and observes the processes of identity construction in globalised conditions. The interdisciplinary team of authors exposes the processes of subjective appropriations and institutional attributions at work in the fields of languages, spaces, perceptions of self and others as well as everyday cultures, and identifies for the first time socio-cultural milieus in the Grand Duchy. The findings of the three-year research project uncover the ambivalences and dynamics of a multicultural and multilingual society.

African Diasporic Cinema: Aesthetics of Reconstruction analyzes the aesthetic strategies adopted by contemporary African diasporic filmmakers to express the reconstruction of identity. Having left the continent, these filmmakers see Africa as a site of representation and cultural circulation. The diasporic experience displaces the center and forges new syncretic identities. Through migratory movement, people become foreigners, Others—and in this instance, black. The African diasporic condition in the Western world is characterized by the intersection of various factors: being African and bearing the historical memory of the continent; belonging to a black minority in majority-white societies; and finally, having historically been the object of negative, stereotyped representation. As a result, quests for the self and self-reconstruction are frequent themes in the films of the African diaspora, and yet the filmmakers refuse to remain trapped in the confines of an assigned, rigid identity. Reflecting these complex circumstances, this book analyzes the contemporary diaspora through the prism of cultural hybridization and the processes of recomposing fragmented identities, out of which new identities emerge.

The emerging field of body ecology offers fresh insights into how the body engages with its surrounding environment through consciousness, perception, knowledge and emotion. In this groundbreaking collection, leading scholars of sport, leisure and philosophy draw on research on topics as diverse as surfing, freediving, slacklining, parkour, bodybuilding, dance and circus arts to flesh out the concept of body ecology and its potential for helping us understand our connection with the world around us. Touching on theories of subjectivity, embodiment, pleasure and play, this book explores different approaches to studying body ecology as a way of conceptualising the experience of being immersed in nature, in the elements and in one’s own body through the power of awareness. An experience becomes emersive when it involves the production of new emotions in the body: emersion is the activation of what is living within the body itself. Shedding new light on the possibilities of physical cultural studies, Body Ecology and Emersive Leisure is fascinating reading for all students and scholars with an interest in sport, leisure, philosophy and the body.
