La pauvreté, un destin ?


Book Description

A partir d’une démarche originale associant le témoignage d’une expérience vécue et les apports d’une recherche pluridisciplinaire, l’auteur propose une nouvelle approche de la pauvreté. L’interrogation ne se résume pas à la description d’un cumul de handicaps, mais s’ouvre sur une analyse approfondie des mécanismes économiques, sociologiques et psychologiques qui perpétuent l’état de pauvreté. Dans un deuxième temps, se pose la question plus originale de l’avenir volé, expression imagée des difficultés rencontrées par cette couche sociale pour changer le cours de son histoire. Ce livre s’adresse aussi bien aux praticiens de travail social qu’à tous ceux qui s’interrogent sur la permanence de la pauvreté dans nos sociétés développées.

Pauvreté et inégalités en Grande-Bretagne, 1942-1990


Book Description

Le 20e siècle semble traîner derrière lui des valeurs et des réalités qu’il pensait combattre à jamais. Inégalité et pauvreté n’étaient déjà pas, plus, envisageables depuis au moins deux siècles et le Royaume-Uni semblait porter les espoirs de cette ère nouvelle. Depuis 1942, d’aucuns affirment que le procès richesse-inégalité-pauvreté est un des plus stables du pays. Qu’en-est-il au juste ? Le recueil bilingue (anglais-français) apporte sa contribution au débat.







Digital Presences of Organizations


Book Description

Organizations communicate in complex and various ways, and the context is mainly characterized by the pervasiveness of the digital ecosystem, including the Web, social networks and the Internet of data. However, its information delivery cannot overlook the requirements of multicultural communications at a variety of levels. Digital Presences of Organizations highlights the communication roadblocks faced by organizations as they emerge, arising not only from issues encountered on their own websites, but also as they construct online narratives. This multi-faceted and multi-strategy digital presence of organizations is addressed via three main thematic axes. The first focuses on differentiated strategies (content, services, interaction) that can be observed depending on the types of organizations and their users. The second examines the cultural dimension of websites, ranging from the local to the global. Finally, the third focuses on the role of narration in organizations' online communication strategies.
