Serguia M: Soins palliatifs ou Suicide
assisté ? La priorité c'est la dignité

Soins palliatifs ou Suicide assisté ? La priorité c'est la dignité !

Routledge Studies in Religion and Politics

The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks asks 'Who speaks for the Catholic Church during a humanitarian crisis?' and answers that there is no single voice; only a plurality of Catholic actors whose relationships with the Holy See differ sharply, and whose humanitarian work is shaped as much by internal organisational dynamics and Church politics as by the crises they respond to.This book offers the first comparative study of three of the world's most significant Catholic humanitarian networks: the Caritas confederation, the Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Community of Sant'Egidio, through drawing on over thirty interviews and extensive fieldwork in Rome and the Vatican. Each network occupies a distinct status (dependent, semi-dependent, and independent organisations) in relation to Church hierarchy, producing strikingly different approaches to assisting refugees and forced migrants. Moving between the internal governance of the Church and the external landscape of secular humanitarianism, the book exposes a persistent and more nuanced "religious literacy gap" among UN agencies, donors, and NGOs working alongside faith-based partners. Combining an interpretivist, practitioner-informed methodology at the intersection of IR, religion, and humanitarianism, Dr Intropido directly engaged with diplomats, humanitarian workers, and Church officials, offering both a new theoretical account of religious actors in world politics and a practical checklist for anyone partnering with Catholic humanitarian organisations.The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks will be essential reading for students and scholars of religion and politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology of religion, humanitarian, development, and migration studies, and for practitioners navigating the increasingly visible role of religion in global affairs.

Systematic and ethical research is essential for understanding social behavior, institutions, and change. Research methods provide the foundation for evidence-based knowledge and policy formulation. Social Research Methods introduces qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches to studying social phenomena. The book discusses survey design, sampling, data collection, and analysis techniques. It also covers ethics in research and the interpretation of findings for social policy and academic inquiry. Through clear explanations and practical examples, it equips students and researchers with the methodological tools needed to conduct rigorous and meaningful social science investigations.

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

A Fusion Hypothesis for Dual to Constructions in English is a high-novelty theoretical monograph with a clear empirical target and a broader architectural ambition. Its immediate contribution is a new analysis of English pseudo-passive like to-constructions. Its larger contribution is a theory of operator-domain compression: the idea that grammars can collapse adjacent functional operators into a single surface exponent when recoverability, anchoring, and homophony permit it. The book is important because it forces a revision of three assumptions: that passive is a reliable objecthood test, that prepositional passive contrasts are reducible to V-P reanalysis, and that homophony is merely a surface accident. Instead, it treats homophony as a structural resource, recoverability as a licensing condition, and objecthood as operator-relative. The result is a manuscript with real field-shifting potential: not because it denies previous syntax, but because it changes the explanatory unit from constituent position to operator-domain geometry.

In Shock and Yawn, Megan Sibbett confronts state-sanctioned, mundane violence committed in the name of protection and argues that queer storytelling is an ideal avenue for recognizing, theorizing, and subverting it: Through queer stories, we have a direct window into the real-world ramifications of violence that purports to be for the public good. This violence, reinforced and normalized through surveillance campaigns, failure-to-protect laws, border policies, and government messaging, is obscured by both its banality and its benevolent veneer, in which children, or imagined children, are central to its logic of protection.
 
 Building on queer theorists' critiques of intimate and administrative violence, especially Gloria Anzaldúa's "intimate terrorism," Sibbett develops methodologies for conceptualizing and subverting violence aimed at queer, racialized, and gendered bodies in this era of surveillance and increasing authoritarianism. Sibbett addresses book bans, anti-trans legislation, idealized histories of westward expansion, and more, examining materials that include public service announcements, advertising, social media, news reports, poems, interviews, and novels. In so doing, she demonstrates the crucial role queer testimonies-and queer histories and queer futures-play in revealing systemic violence and illuminating the transformative potential of everyday resistance.

The TV and Movie industries created the Italian American stereotypes we know today. 
These stereotypes don't reflect the extraordinary impacts of Italian American individuals of all ages and economic backgrounds on the cultural and economic advancement of the United States to address this, the Italian American Reputation Lab (IARL) is presenting an analytic report on how the historical and current Italian diaspora depict a very different narrative than the mainstream media of how Italian-Americans have contributed to shaping the cultural and economic fabric of the United States.

Davide Ippolito is one of the foremost international experts on Reputation Literacy, Reputation Management, and Contents Creation. He's a publisher, a filmmaker, and a producer of both feature films and documentaries which are available on Amazon Prime and Pluto. Founder of the streaming media platform Business+, he serves as the Chief Scientific Officer for the USA-based Italian American Reputation Lab (IARL). For a decade Ippolito consulted with prominent Italian organizations and media/TV outlets operating in the diplomatic, academic, and industrial sectors. In recent years he has been engaged by international and US entities such as the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF), the Columbus Foundation, and the United Nations. Davide has authored several books on the Reputation Management topic and on September 12th, 2023, he released his new docu-film "New York Solo Andata" at the Italian Cultural Center of New York City. Davide regularly writes for several Italian magazines and newspapers, and he participates in various Italian national television news programs and talk shows.

Plato's Apology - A Riveting Defense of Philosophy and the Pursuit of Truth
Step into the courtroom of ancient Athens and witness a moment that forever shaped the course of Western thought. Plato's "Apology" is not an apology in the modern sense but a powerful and eloquent defense of philosophy, virtue, and the examined life, as spoken by Socrates himself.

In this timeless dialogue, Socrates stands trial, accused of corrupting the youth and challenging the gods of Athens. Armed only with his words, he confronts his accusers with sharp logic, unyielding honesty, and a fearless pursuit of truth. His defense transcends the courtroom, posing questions that still resonate: What does it mean to live a good life? Is it better to suffer injustice than to commit it? And how should we face death?

Perfect for readers who:

Seek to explore the foundations of philosophy and ethics
Are inspired by courageous thinkers who challenge the status quo
Enjoy timeless debates on morality, justice, and the human spirit
"Plato's Apology" is more than a historical account-it's a bold challenge to live authentically, question boldly, and think deeply. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or just beginning your journey into the classics, this is a must-read that will ignite your mind and stir your soul.

Dare to embrace wisdom. Add this cornerstone of philosophical thought to your collection today.

Refutes contemporary stereotypes about Mexico by sharing first-hand experiences from men who support the feminist movement in their country.The Mexican Feminist Movement responds to the Trumpian generalization that branded Mexican men as rapists, drug dealers, killers, and "bad hombres." Contrary to what Trump has expressed, many Mexican men are deeply concerned about the number of femicides in their country, and they express that concern in varied ways--they debate the issue with family and friends, participate in rallies in support of women's rights, and some have seen their own daughters, sisters, and partners suffer violence and daily harassment. This book offers Mexican men a space to share their lived experiences and everyday praxis in support of ending the violence that Mexican women face in society; it highlights these men's challenges to misogyny, their stand in solidarity with women, and their work toward building more just and equitable relationships at home, at work, and in the public sphere.

A long-overdue analysis of how Black lesbians have asserted their lived experience through creative practice, pushing back against heteropatriarchal systems that deny them visibility.
 
 "We Must Document Ourselves Now" examines the essential but oft-ignored importance of Black lesbian literature and film in queer literary and film histories, arguing that Black lesbian cultural texts reflect creators' lived experiences and resist the heteropatriarchal systems that deny Black lesbians visibility in popular culture. Stephanie Andrea Allen contends that these texts have three goals: to lay bare the experiences of Black lesbians in a raced, gendered, classed, and homophobic society; to challenge the notion that claiming Black lesbian identity is marginal or forbidden; and to take care of Black lesbians by bearing witness to their experiences through creative practice.
 
 Insisting that Black feminist creative practice is an integral form of self and community care, Allen weaves analysis of cultural output spanning key sociocultural moments from 1974 to 2020 with interviews with Black lesbian cultural workers. "We Must Document Ourselves Now" examines the Black Arts / Black Power movement, the "boom" in lesbian and gay publishing, the so-called golden era of Black film, and twenty-first-century visual media to demonstrate how representations of Black lesbians, or lack thereof, were vital to constructing a cultural canon that focused on illuminating Black lesbian experiences in the United States.
