La Tiers-Mondialisation de la planète, c'est le laminage des classes moyennes et la polarisation riches-pauvres de l'ensemble des sociétés. On peut diversement décrire ce phénomène : "prolétarisation des classes moyennes", "classes moyennes à la dérive", "déclassement"... Bernard Conte analyse le caractère universel de cette transformation sociale comme résultat des politiques économiques néolibérales mises en oeuvre depuis le milieu des années 1970. Le libéralisme régulé des "Trente Glorieuses" fonctionnait sur la base redistributive du compromis fordiste au Nord et du clientélisme nationaliste au Sud. Puis la crise des années 1970 et l'implosion du bloc soviétique changèrent la donne et le capitalisme s'orienta vers la financiarisation et la dérégulation. Dans un premier temps, le monétarisme inspira les ajustements structurels : la désinflation compétitive au Nord et les programmes du consensus de Washington au Sud. Quand leur mise en oeuvre buta sur l'obstacle politique, l'ordolibéralisme prit le relais et entreprit, sur la base du post-consensus de Washington, de diffuser mondialement une "économie sociale de marché" purifiée. L'économique et le social sont alors progressivement déconnectés du politique, la démocratie devient virtuelle, la redistribution s'épuise et la classe moyenne est en voie d'euthanasie... La dynamique du capitalisme financiarisé globalise la structure sociale fortement dualisée des pays les plus pauvres : c'est la Tiers-Mondialisation de la planète. Ecrit dans un style abordable, cet ouvrage est destiné au lecteur soucieux de décrypter les liens entre politique, économique et social, sous un éclairage différent de celui que propose la "pensée unique".

International immigration, massive migrations, economic globalization and a world-wide communications revolution have brought about a mixing of races, cultures and lifestyles unprecedented in human history. What are the implications of this phenomenon? What options present themselves...a battle of cultures for power; a move toward communitarian cooperation, or, something new, the evolution of racially and culturally mixed societies? Anthropologist and sociologist Jacques Audinet proposes an alternative to culture wars and simple multiculturalism as he explores the history and evolution of mestizaje, the mixing of races and cultures resulting in a third and new force able to ease the tensions between the original two. Audinet reviews the tragic history of imperial and colonial conquests and traces the growth of mestizaje, especially stimulated by literature, music and sports. Audinet argues that, instead of chasing or preserving the illusion of "pure" races, we need to face the shifting boundaries of peoples and cultures. He acknowledges the uncertainty of the changes, but emphasizes the essential role that mestizaje can play in the avoidance of racial and cultural clashes while pursuing equality as part of the promise of a democratic society.

This book provides an insightful approach to understanding the contemporary circulations of feminist repertoires and shows how the international/transnational circulations of gender are interconnected, even coextensive, with the globalization process itself. Fed by a shared reflexivity on relations among activist groups, state institutions, and international actors involved in the production and dissemination of contemporary norms dealing with gender, each chapter shares methodological premises and studies the circulation of gender-related norms and knowledge in situ and by varying standpoints. Specifically, the authors de-compartmentalize the academic disciplines and go beyond classical geographic divisions, in order to map social spaces and networks of actors involved in the production and circulation of gender-related repertoires. Last, the book grasps circulatory processes and entangled social phenomena, which are usually subject to disciplinary and thematic divisions separating collective action and public action, development aid and feminism, law and international relations. Focused on collective and individual experiences within women’s organizations, activist careers, unstable mobilizations, public policies temporalities, the chapters reveal the mechanisms through which these arrangements are made and shed light on strategies deployed by actors rooted in specific social and political contexts. This book will be of key interest to students and scholars of gender studies and more broadly to politics, International Relations, sociology, geography, history, and anthropology.

As a judicial concept dating back to the 17th century, the term ex(tra)territoriality has long excited the interest of scholars and writers who have, since the 20th century, not hesitated to appropriate the notion, widening and transforming it in the process. This transfer to the field of humanities has opened a new space of reflection, a space for imagination, through the means of a creative re-reading, among others, which has given rise to new but related concepts such as “deterritorialization”. To take into account the growing importance of this extraterritoriality paradigm reassessing the idea of territory in literature, culture and languages, this book offers an interdisciplinary and plurilingual journey through four centuries, four continents and a dozen languages, from literature to new media, encompassing philosophy, history, linguistics, the press, the cinema... Notion juridique remontant au XVIIe siècle, le terme d’ex(tra)territorialité suscite depuis longtemps l’intérêt des sciences humaines et de la littérature qui, depuis le XXe siècle, n’ont pas hésité à se l’approprier pour l’élargir et le transformer. Ce transfert du qualificatif ex(tra)territorial vers les humanités a ouvert un autre espace de réflexion, un espace d’imagination, grâce notamment à une relecture créatrice, ce qui a pu donner lieu à de nouveaux concepts apparentés comme celui de « déterritorialisation ». Pour tenir compte de l’importance grandissante d’une pensée de l’ex(tra)territorialité, mettant en question de la notion de territoire dans les domaines littéraire, culturel et linguistique, le présent ouvrage propose un parcours interdisciplinaire et plurilingue à travers quatre siècles, quatre continents et une dizaine de langues, de la littérature aux nouveaux médias, en passant par la philosophie, l’histoire, la linguistique, la presse, le cinéma, etc.
