Quoi de neuf ? La réponse tombe, irréfutable et terrifiante : nous sommes en train de mourir. Non pas demain ni après-demain, mais en ce moment même. Nous, c'est-à-dire nous autres occidentaux, sans que l'on puisse exclure que la mort gagne prochainement l'espèce tout entière. Nous périssons d'un mal indolore et progressif, dont les symptômes, pour l'instant, ne sont perceptibles qu'à travers les chiffres et leurs projections. Le diagnostic est certain. Tous les pays occidentaux n'assurent plus le remplacement des générations depuis des années. A la base de la pyramide des âges s'accentue un creux qui, s'il persiste encore une ou deux décennies, annonce notre départ discret de l'aventure humaine. Depuis quinze ans, nous renversons la plus antique certitude de l'humanité en tant qu'espèce biologique : sa reproduction de génération en génération est une donnée naturelle, parce que toutes les cultures et toutes les civilisations ont toujours trouvé en elles-mêmes les réponses grâce auxquelles la vie a toujours fini par triompher de la mort. Pierre Chaunu fut le premier à percevoir cette rupture inouïe et à la dénoncer. Avec ce nouveau livre , il fait franchir à la démographie historique une étape décisive dans sa constitution en science autonome. Notre avenir aboli est inscrit dans notre présent. Mais notre présent ne peut être saisi dans sa singularité hallucinante qu'en le comparant aux millénaires qui l'ont précédé. Il convenait donc de proposer une analyse comparative et historique des modèles par lesquels nos ancêtres proches et lointains ont résolu ce problème si simple et si complexe : comment transmettre la vie envers et contre tout ? Ce livre est plus qu'un ouvrage de circonstance, car il fait entrer dans le champ de la culture générale l'histoire raisonnée des populations depuis la plus haute antiquité. Il nous oblige à refuser de désespérer de l'homme, en nous précisant les termes du défi : de la maîtrise de la fécondité à la stérilité, la marge est si étroite que seul un surcroît de lucidité et de volonté nous épargnera la résignation sénile, annonciatrice de la mort. Il dépend encore de nous que notre futur ait ou n'ait pas un avenir. Né en 1923, Pierre Chaunu est professeur à la Sorbonne. Son œuvre immense parcourt les champs de l'histoire économique, religieuse, culturelle et démographique. Parmi ses dernières publications, citons : La mort à Paris, La violence de Dieu, La mémoire et le sacré, Histoire quantitative, histoire sérielle, Le sursis.

" Nous appelons à établir les liens encore possibles entre toutes les personnes qui, issues ou non du milieu scientifique, entendent résister en acte à l'avancée de la technoscience. La question n'est pas de rapprocher la science du citoyen, mais de casser la logique de l'expertise, de dénoncer le mensonge de la neutralité de la recherche et d'empêcher la science contemporaine de contribuer, au jour le jour, à détruire la politique en la transformant en une affaire technique.".

This Handbook is a collection of contributions of more than 300 researchers who have worked to grasp the Anthropocene, this new geological epoch characterised by a modification of the conditions of habitability of the Earth for all living things, in its biogeophysical and socio-political reality. These researchers also sought to define a historical and prospective anthropology that integrates social, economic, cultural and political issues as well as, of course, environmental ones. What are the anthropological changes needed to ensure that our human adventure will be able to continue in the Anthropocene? And what are the educational and political issues involved? Anthropocene is fast becoming a widely-used term, but thus far, there been no reference work explaining the thoughts of the greatest experts of the present day on this subject (at the intersection of biogeophysical and socio-political knowledge). A scientific and political concept (but which is also the conceptual vehicle for conveying the scientific community's sense of concern), this complex term is explained by international experts as they reflect on scientific arguments taking place in earth system science, the social sciences and the humanities. What these researchers from different disciplines have in common is a healthy concern for the future and how to prepare for it in the Anthropocene and also the identification of possible anthropological changes. This Handbook encourages readers to immerse themselves in reflections on the human adventure through descriptions of our differing heritages and the future that is in the process of being written.

Demography Analysis And Synthesis Four Volume Set written by Graziella Caselli and has been published by Academic Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006-01-03 with Reference categories.
This four-volume collection of over 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists, and others. Over 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized. The articles follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography: Analysis and Synthesis offers a long overdue, thorough treatment of the field. Choosing the analytical method that fits the data and the situation requires insights that the authors and editors of Demography: Analysis and Synthesis have explored and developed. This extended examination of demographic tools not only seeks to explain the analytical tools themselves, but also the relationships between general population dynamics and their natural, economic, social, political, and cultural environments. Limiting themselves to human populations only, the authors and editors cover subjects that range from the core building blocks of population change--fertility, mortality, and migration--to the consequences of demographic changes in the biological and health fields, population theories and doctrines, observation systems, and the teaching of demography. The international perspectives brought to these subjects is vital for those who want an unbiased, rounded overview of these complex, multifaceted subjects. Topics to be covered: * Population Dynamics and the Relationship Between Population Growth and Structure * The Determinants of Fertility * The Determinants of Mortality * The Determinants of Migration * Historical and Geographical Determinants of Population * The Effects of Population on Health, Economics, Culture, and the Environment * Population Policies * Data Collection Methods and Teaching about Population Studies * All chapters share a common format * Each chapter features several cross-references to other chapters * Tables, charts, and other non-text features are widespread * Each chapter contains at least 30 bibliographic citations

Argentina, once heralded as the future of capitalist progress, has a long history of economic volatility. In 2001–2002, a financial crisis led to its worst economic collapse, precipitating a dramatic currency devaluation, the largest sovereign default in world history, and the flight of foreign capital. Protests and street blockades punctuated a moment of profound political uncertainty, epitomized by the rapid succession of five presidents in four months. Since then, Argentina has fought economic fires on every front, from inflation to the cost of utilities and depressed industrial output. When things clearly aren't working, when the constant churning of booms and busts makes life almost unlivable, how does our deeply compromised order come to seem so inescapable? How does critique come to seem so blunt, even as crisis after crisis appears on the horizon? What are the lived effects of that sense of inescapability? Anthropologist Sarah Muir offers a cogent meditation on the limits of critique at this historical moment, drawing on deep experience in Argentina but reflecting on a truly global condition. If we feel things are being upended in a manner that is ongoing, tumultuous, and harmful, what would we need to do—and what would we need to give up—to usher in a revitalized critique for today's world? Routine Crisis is an original provocation and a challenge to think beyond the limits of exhaustion and reimagine a form of criticism for the twenty-first century.

Imprisoned by History: Aspects of Historicized Life offers a controversial analysis, grounded both in philosophical argument and empirical evidence, of what history does in contemporary culture. It endorses and extends the argument that contemporary society is, in historical terms, already historicized, shaped by history – and thus history loses sight of the world, seeing it only as a reflection of its own self-image. By focusing on history as a way of thinking about the world, as a thought-style, this volume delivers a major, decisive, thought-provoking critique of a crucial aspect contemporary culture and the public sphere. By illustrating the ways in which history enforces socially coercive attitudes and forms of behaviour, Martin Davies argues that history is therefore in itself ideological and exists as an instrument of political power. Contending that this ideological function is the "normal" function of professional academic history, he repudiates entirely the conventional view that only biased or "bad" history is ideological. By finding history projecting onto the world and getting reflected back at it the exacting, history-focused thinking and behaviour on which the discipline and the subject rely, he concludes that history’s very "normality" and "objectivity" are inherently compromised and that history works only in terms of its own self-interest.

These Proceedings consider all aspects of the environmental problems facing the world today - scientific, social, economic, philosophical and historical. Many of the discussions which followed paper presentations are included in the text. Along with scientific discussions of solutions to particular problems, the book argues for a new approach to thought and action in the use of natural resources. If a constructive global strategy towards the protection of the environment is to be socially compatible and economically sound, then it must be developed through an interdisciplinary approach which will avoid the impractical solutions which might be suggested by theoretical or unilateral considerations. Ecological, economic, social and cultural research must be accompanied by the development of a new mentality of respect for the environment which will inculcate a reasonable and moderate use of natural resources.
