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…

L'islamisme aujourd'hui - Hamit Bozarslan (audio)
Au tournant des années 1999-2000, un certain nombre d’ouvrages sont parus qui annonçaient la fin de l’islamisme. En France, l’un des plus marquants est celui de Gilles Kepel : Jihad, expansion et déclin de l’islamisme (2000). La thèse de l’impasse, voire de l’échec de l’Islam politique, avancée d’abord par Olivier Roy au début des années 1990, semble trouver alors sa confirmation. En effet, on assiste à ce moment précis à un essoufflement de l’islamisme qu

City to City, as a class, will jump into the complexity of planning in New Orleans, a post-disaster city. City-to-City will ask how a post-disaster city grapple with its ideas of identity, what it is, who it represents, and how it projects its sense of self to residences, businesses, tourists, and to the outside world.
