This book unravels the bizarre and almost forgotten confrontation known as the Pig War. It exposes the fragile nature of nineteenth-century diplomacy, wh...

This volume looks at concepts and processes of social exclusion and social inclusion. It traces a number of discourses, all of them routed in a relational power analysis, examining them in the context of the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development 2030 with its commitment to “leave no one behind.” The book combines analysis that is fundamentally critical of the rhetoric of social inclusion in academic and UN discourse with narratives of social exclusion processes and social inclusion contest...

Depuis toujours, psychiatrie et droit, comme santé et justice sont à la recherche d'un difficile équilibre pour mieux soigner et protéger toute personne souffrant de troubles mentaux. Aussi, avec la naissance de la clinique dans le sillage du Traité médico-philosophique sur l'aliénation mentale de Pinel, les aliénistes ont accordé une place centrale à la clinique médicolégale pour reconnaître le malade au-delà du trouble du comportement, et lui apporter les soins indispensables.
