L\'imaginaire collectif que l\'auteur différencie des notions connexes de représentation, d\'idéologie et même d\'imaginaire social, désigne l\'ensemble des éléments qui s\'organisent, pour un groupe donné mais à son insu, en une unité significative. Psychosociologue clinicienne, pratiquant la recherche et l\'intervention depuis de longues années dans différents milieux professionnels, Florence Giust-Desprairies nous propose ici une théorisation originale de la notion d\'imaginaire collectif, référée à une pluralité d\'auteurs mais articulée directement à son expérience des groupes et des organisations. Comme le dit Eugène Enriquez dans sa préface, l\'auteur nous plonge dans l\'univers « d\'écoles, de centres de formation, d\'une entreprise industrielle, à la rencontre de sujets saisis individuellement ou en groupe. On les voit s\'affronter, agencer les éléments pertinents de leurs constructions collectives, découvrir des scénarios méconnus qui fondent leurs actions, élaborer de nouvelles significations... L\'auteur sait nous rendre proches ces sujets qui bougent, désirent, se protègent, s\'affrontent devant nous dans de véritables courts métrages où l\'on voit se faire et se défaire \

Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation—it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pf... | CUP

The Digital Factory reveals the hidden human labor that supports today’s digital capitalism.   The workers of today’s digital factory include those in Amazon warehouses, delivery drivers, Chinese gaming workers, Filipino content moderators, and rural American search engine optimizers. Repetitive yet stressful, boring yet often emotionally demanding, these jobs require little formal qualification, but can demand a large degree of skills and knowledge. This work is often hidden behind the supposed magic of algorithms and thought to be automated, but it is in fact highly dependent on human labor.   The workers of today’s digital factory are not as far removed from a typical auto assembly line as we might think. Moritz Altenried takes us inside today’s digital factories, showing that they take very different forms, including gig economy platforms, video games, and Amazon warehouses. As Altenried shows, these digital factories often share surprising similarities with factories from the industrial age. As globalized capitalism and digital technology continue to transform labor around the world, Altenried offers a timely and poignant exploration of how these changes are restructuring the social division of labor and its geographies as well as the stratifications and lines of struggle.

An authoritative – and fascinating – investigation into the spatial and social dynamics of cities at a global scale

Deep adaptation refers to the personal and collective changes that might help us to prepare for and live with a climate-influenced breakdown or collapse of our societies. It is a framework for responding to the terrifying realization of increasing disruption by committing ourselves to reducing suffering while saving more of society and the natural world. This is the first book to show how professionals across different sectors are beginning to incorporate the acceptance of likely or unfolding societal breakdown into their work and lives. They do not assume that our current economic, social and political systems can be made resilient in the face of climate change but, instead, they demonstrate the caring and creative ways that people are responding to the most difficult realization with which humanity may ever have to come to terms. Edited by the originator of the concept of deep adaptation, Jem Bendell, and a leading climate activist and strategist, Rupert Read, this book is the essential introduction to the concept, practice and emerging global movement of Deep Adaptation to climate chaos.

For some time now, the subject of cooperation in the context of development aid has featured in the education of architects. However, up to now there have hardly been any attempts to critically place the work of architects and urban designers in this context. The book highlights the architectural consequences of humanitarian actions on the basis of three case studies – in Port-au-Prince, the West Bank, and Nairobi. The authors analyze twelve projects in terms of typology and construction and establish a differentiated position in the discourse on short-term housing for emergency situations. They investigate the far-reaching effects of such architectural aid and supply architects, town planners, and NGOs with useful advice for future planning and design.
