Les enjeux de l’individualisme (video)
Jusque dans les années 60, le modèle d’intégration sociale dominant était un modèle « corporatiste » qui assurait une place, une position garantie à chaque individu au sein de la société. Chacun était alors acteur du système, chacun était à sa place: le médecin, l’ouvrier, la femme au foyer…
Aujourd’hui cet idéal de stabilité est mis à mal: les catégories sociales sont bousculées (les ouvriers sont moins nombreux, les femmes travaillent de plus en plus),
L'ancien et le nouvel eugénisme : les leçons de l'Histoire (audio)
Très longtemps associé au nazisme, l’eugénisme est encore aujourd’hui un sujet polémique voire tabou. Science des biens nés et des bons gênes, il désigne une sélection de la race humaine afin d’assurer le développement et la prédominance des êtres jugés supérieurs.
Les manifestations de l’idéologie eugéniste sont nombreuses dans le monde, de l’Antiquité jusqu’à la moitié du XXe siècle : extermination à Sparte des enfants faibles ou malades et des ha

Deer on Autism, Vaccination, and Scientific Fraud
Investigative journalist Brian Deer talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about Deer's seven years of reporting and legal issues surrounding the 1998 article in The Lancet claiming that the MMR vaccine causes autism and bowel problems. Deer's dogged pursuit of the truth led to the discovery that the 1998 article was fraudulent and that the lead author had hidden payments he received from lawyers to finance the original study. In this podcast, Deer describes how he uncovered the truth and the leg

This panel will consider a number of complementary and competing themes around the topic of diaspora and place. Particular places, and perhaps especially cities, consist of large diasporic populations often represented as indications of cosmopolitanism, multiculturalism and conviviality. Diasporas may be formed through forced or voluntary movements, leaving behind certain places but having often powerful relationships to them, and creating new senses of place elsewhere. Ideas of diaspora, as wel
The determinants of happiness are remarkably similar around the world, in countries as different as Afghanistan, the U.S, and Chile. Income matters to happiness but only so much; friends, freedom, and employment are good for happiness, while crime, poor health, and divorce are bad. Paradoxically, however, people in places like Afghanistan can be as happy as those in much wealthier and safer ones like Chile. One explanation is the remarkable human capacity to adapt to adversity and hardship. Whil
