Immanuel Maurice Wallerstein Livres

Multi-disciplines (histoire, sciences politiques, économie, sociologie, anthropologie), cette approche globale sur longue période, héritée de Braudel, est désormais incontournable pour penser la mondialisation. Pour la majorité des médias et des experts, la mondialisation et le terrorisme sont les traits majeurs, largement inédits, du monde actuel. En fait, seule la mise en perspective historique sur la longue période permet de comprendre les origines de ces deux phénomènes. C'est ce que montre l'analyse en termes de " systèmes-monde " qu'Immanuel Wallerstein développe depuis plus de trente ans et qui, bien plus que celui d'État-nation, permet de saisir les lignes de force qui façonnent l'évolution des sociétés. Brossant les étapes de construction du système-monde depuis le XVIe siècle, l'auteur explique comment celui-ci est d'abord une construction sociale, mobilisant des acteurs agissant à différents niveaux : nations, entreprises, familles, classes, groupes identitaires... Une introduction lumineuse pour discuter des outils de compréhension du monde contemporain et sortir de la vulgate médiatico-libérale dominante.

While in-depth cultural histories have been devoted to such classic horror monsters as the vampire, the zombie and Frankenstein's tragic creature, the cinematic werewolf has long been considered little more than the 'beast within': a psychoanalytic analogue for the bestial side of man. This book, the first scholarly study of the werewolf in cinema, redresses the balance by exploring over one hundred years of werewolf films - from The Werewolf (1913) to WolfCop (2014) via The Wolf Man (1941) and An American Werewolf in London (1981) - to reveal the cultural significance of she-wolves and wolf-men as evolving metaphors for the cultural fears and anxieties of their times. In doing so, it illustrates how we can begin to understand one of our oldest mythical monsters as a rich and diverse cultural metaphor.
