Vint-i-quatre hores de la família Camins
Author: Àngels Blasco
Publisher: Ediciones Oblicuas
ISBN: 8419246484
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
El Pau Camins surt de casa al matí com cada dia per anar a treballar. El que no pot imaginar és que aquell serà el dia més inversemblant de la seva vida. Després que el seu veí i company de feina li comuniqui que han estat tot acomiadats, decideix vagabundejar sense rumb ni sentit per la ciutat, allargant així el màxim possible el retorn a casa seva. Allà l'espera la Rosa, la seva dona, a qui li fa autèntic pànic explicar-li la seva nova situació. Mentrestant, tant la Rosa com els seus fills i amics, quan són conscients de la seva desaparició, mouen cel i terra per trobar-lo. Vint-i-quatre hores de la família Camins és una novel·la curta escrita en un to còmic i desenfadat, però que amaga una punyent i dramàtica crítica social.

Canvi lingüístic, estandardització i identitat en català / Linguistic Change, Standardization and Identity in Catalan
Author: Hans-Ingo Radatz
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027261369
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
The multiplicity of parallel identities that make up our personalities is a phenomenon in which our individual identitary choices merge with diverse collective identities. The present volume is a contribution to the field of Identity Studies, but from a clearly linguistic perspective. It unites several contributions which analyze discourses centered on national or regional identities – as for instance the Catalanity of the frontier city of Lleida, the connection between the natural environment and the conceptualization of deictic space, or the dialectics between center and periphery. Other chapters try to shed light on problems arising from the particular situation of Catalan as a non-state language. The contributions thus range from aspects of Cultural Studies on identities and their constituting discourses to Catalan linguistics and sociolinguistics.

Mysteries and Conspiracies
Author: Luc Boltanski
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745683444
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
The detective story, focused on inquiries, and in its wake the spy novel, built around conspiracies, developed as genres in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During the same period, psychiatry was inventing paranoia, sociology was devising new forms of causality to explain the social lives of individuals and groups and political science was shifting the problematics of paranoia from the psychic to the social realm and seeking to explain historical events in terms of conspiracy theories. In each instance, social reality was cast into doubt. We owe the project of organizing and unifying this reality for a particular population and territory to the nation-state as it took shape at the end of the nineteenth century. Thus the figure of conspiracy became the focal point for suspicions concerning the exercise of power. Where does power really lie, and who actually holds it? The national authorities that are presumed to be responsible for it, or other agencies acting in the shadows - bankers, anarchists, secret societies, the ruling class? Questions of this kind provided the scaffolding for political ontologies that banked on a doubly distributed reality: an official but superficial reality and its opposite, a deeper, hidden, threatening reality that was unofficial but much more real. Crime fiction and spy fiction, paranoia and sociology - more or less concomitant inventions - had in common a new way of problematizing reality and of working through the contradictions inherit in it. The adventures of the conflict between these two realities - superficial versus real - provide the framework for this highly original book. Through an exploration of the work of the great masters of detective stories and spy novels - G.K. Chesterton, Arthur Conan Doyle, John Le Carré and Graham Greene among others - Boltanski shows that these works of fiction and imagination tell us something fundamental about the nature of modern societies and the modern state.

The Foetal Condition
Author: Luc Boltanski
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745683495
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
Abortion is a contentious issue in social life but it has rarely been subjected to careful scrutiny in the social sciences. While the legalization of abortion has brought it into the public domain, it still remains a sensitive topic in many cultures, often hidden from view and rarely spoken about, consigned to a shadowy existence. Drawing on reports gathered from hospital settings and in-depth interviews with women who have had abortions, Luc Boltanski sets out to explain the ambiguous status of this social practice. Abortion, he argues, has to remain in the shadows, for it reveals a contradiction at the heart of the social contract: the principle of the uniqueness of beings conflicts with the postulate of their replaceable nature, a postulate without which no society would achieve demographic renewal. This leads Boltanski to explore the way human beings are engendered and to analyze the symbolic constraints that preside over their entry into society. What makes a human being is not the foetus as such, ensconced within the body, but rather the process by which it is taken up symbolically in speech - that is, its symbolic adoption. But this symbolic adoption presupposes the possibility of discriminating among embryos that are indistinguishable. For society, and sometimes for individuals, the arbitrary character of this discrimination is hard to tolerate. The contradiction is made bearable, Boltanski shows, by a grammatical categorization: the “project” foetus - adopted by its parents, who use speech to welcome the new being and give it a name - is juxtaposed to the “tumoral” foetus, an accidental embryo that will not be the object of a life-forming project. Bringing together grammar, narrations of life experience and an historical perspective, this highly original book sheds fresh light on a social phenomenon that is widely practised but poorly understood.
