The self-régulation of societies: population, social policies, health (ESOPP annual seminar)
Seminar Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
ESOPP annual seminar
(EHESS-Sciences po)
This group established in 2004 within the Centre of Historical research aims to pursue the profound renewal that has taken place in the history of populations since the last fifteen years. It takes into account the constructed character of populations, the articulations between the study of practices, knowledge and institutions and re-reads the history of social policies and public hygiene through demographic objects (mortality, migrations, families, etc). More generally, it raises the broader question of forming and regulating societies.
The group brings together historians but also political scientists and sociologists from different institutions (CNRS, EHESS, INALCO, Sciences Po, University of Paris VIII, University of Lille-nord, University of Maine).
The perspective adopted is both comparative and "entangled", since it takes account of different fields of national research both inside and outside the European framework. While basing itself on contemporary researches on the State, it further examines institutional forms operating on other scales (municipalities or supranational bodies for example), and of a private nature (firms, associations, churches, etc.)
Most of the presentations will be in French. However, English speakers are welcome and papers can be discussed in French and in English.
12 January 2011, 3 pm to 7 pm, at EHESS, 105 bd Raspail, 75006 Paris, room 7.
De l'Europe préindustrielle au monde contemporain, les personnes āgées face aux risques (pauvreté, isolement, dépendance) / From pre-industrial Europe to the contemporary world, risks confronting elderly people (poverty, social isolation, dependency) Session organizer: Christophe Capuano (CRH/EHESS) This session deals with risks of poverty, dependency and social isolation that threaten a particularly vulnerable population of elderly people. It analyzes the measures taken to deal with these risks from preindustrial times to the contemporary period, with particular attention to the respective roles of the individual, the family and the State in these different undertakings.
* Laurence Fontaine (EHESS/ENS): « What strategies did men and women in preindustrial Europe employ against poverty in old age? »
* Thomas Frinault (IEP/University of Rennes II): «The odyssey of dependency funds"
* Christophe Capuano (CRH/EHESS): « Abandon of elderly people by families. The construction of a myth (1945-2003) »
9 February 2011, 3 pm to 7 pm, at EHESS, 105 bd Raspail, 75006 Paris, room 7.
La transition des régimes d'assistance sociale aprčs 1945: perspectives Comparées / Changes in social assistance programs after 1945: a comparative perspective Session organizer: Yohann Aucante (EHESS)
In the consolidation and rapid transformation of welfare states after 1945 and the rise of national insurance systems, questions of social assistance regimes and their continuities with pre-war forms or their relations with insurance firms have remained neglected and marginal to the global understanding of welfare states This session will examine the problem through an international comparison.
With Romain Huret (University of Lyon II): «Abandoning social assistance, saving insurance? Middle classes and the dilemma of social reformers in the United States (1930-1980) »
* Bernard Thomann (INALCO): « Right to assistance or community solidarity? Social protection in Japan after the war »
* Yohann Aucante: « The communal paradox: social assistance and services in Scandinavia after the war »
9 March 2011, 3 pm to 7 pm, Sciences Po, 56 rue des Saints-Pčres, 75007 Paris, room Jean Monnet.
Enjeux et pratique de la protection des migrants et des indigčnes au début du XXe sičcle: perspectives comparées / Stakes and protective practices for migrants and natives at the beginning of the 20th century: a comparative perspective Session organizer: Caroline Douki (University of Paris VIII) and Paul-André Rosental (Sciences Po) Though not necessarily linked, reform perspectives in the field of social protection of migrant workers and imperial and racial questions concerning poor people also involved in forms of mobility, developed simultaneously at the beginning of the 20th century. These networks and reform movements led to the elaboration of an international, social or humanitarian law and the establishment of supra-state or transnational bodies whose mission consisted of defining and ensuring the protection of these categories of population. The session will establish and test the effective capacity of migrants or poor populations to exercise their rights by specifically studying the supports and resources of these groups in their countries of origin, in the countries of their destination and across various transnational social and associative networks. Caroline Douki (University of Paris VIII), Paul-André Rosental (Sciences Po), Emmanuelle Sibeud (University of Paris VIII)
11 May 2011, 3 pm to 7 pm: EHESS, 105 bd Raspail, 75006 Paris, room n° 7.
L'enquźte: méthode ; échelle ; articulation entre étude empirique et généralisation / Enquiry: method; scale; articulation between empirical study and generalization Session organizer: Ivan Jablonka (University of Mainz) and Laura Downs (EHESS)
Taking two studies as the point of departure, this session deals with the question of sources and methods of historical enquiry and in particular with the relationships between local enquiry and the broader context.
* Laura Downs' research on the histories of holiday camps, shows the necessity of constantly changing scales of observation to account for the circulation of ideas and practices in spaces ranging from small neighbourhood holiday camps to big international congresses (Laura Downs, Histoire des colonies de vacances de 1880 ą nos jours, Paris, Perrin, 2009)
* Working on private and public archives all over the world, Nicolar Mariot and Claire Zalc, place themselves in an average city, Lens. They retrace the persecution of the Jewish community in Lens during the Second World War. Reconstituting the destiny of 991 Jews, they renew the sources and methods of historical inquiry in order to develop a social history of the Shoah. (Nicolas Mariot and Claire Zalc, Face ą la persécution, Paris, Odile Jacob, 2010).
15 June 2011, 9 am to 6 pm : INALCO, 49 bis, avenue de la Belle Gabrielle 75012 Paris
La définition et le traitement des populations vulnérables: l'apport des terrains non européens / Definition and treatment of vulnerable populations: contribution from non-European fieldwork Study workshop ESOPP-INALCO
organizer: Hélčne Frouard (CNRS) and Bernard Thomann (INALCO) Historians have analyzed the identification and treatment of vulnerable populations as policies articulated with the increasing power of the welfare state (whether authoritarian or democratic). The struggle against vulnerability would be a way of combating the collapse or the disaffiliation of entire sections of society. Thus, protection policies for vulnerable populations were a manner of acknowledging civil and political citizenship in the social field. This analysis, rooted in a European and North-American history of social protection and the construction of the State merits examination in areas where political and state structures or national histories and the construction of social solidarities were elaborated differently.
*Jacques Enaudeau, « The 'Burkinabe-Ivorians', visible or invisible? The vulnerability of West African migrants according to the yardstick of their relationship to space and land »
*Chloé Froissart, « What citizenship for migrant workers in China? »
*Hélčne Frouard, «The difficult extension of social benefits to overseas French departments: the example of housing-benefits in Guadeloupe, 1945 »
*Bernard Thomann: « Social vulnerability and general mobilization of the population: The quest for a basic minimum salary in Japan during the war (1937-1945) »
* Marie-Christine Saglio: «Vulnerability and citizenship of slum dwellers of Mumbai (India): the eligible and the non eligible. »

Let's take a look at some recruits who may be in a position to start at the beginning of the season, and who they could replace or push to the second team.

A Monument for Obama
The convention of honoring dead presidents is already dated.
The contemplated monument shall be like him in whose honor it is to be constructed, unparalleled in the world. . . . [It] should blend stupendousness with elegance, and be of such magnitude and beauty as to be an object of pride to the American people, and of all who see it.
-- Design objectives for the Washington Monument, 1832
Why wait? As its first order of business in the coming year, the 111th Congress must establish the Barack H. Obama Presidential Monument Commission, to approve the design and fund the construction (with a target completion date of Jan. 21, 2017) of a suitable tribute to the best 44th president this country will ever have.
Lest it seem like we're getting ahead of ourselves, bear in mind that the government is already in the business of making monuments to the living. The most capable nuclear attack submarine in the U.S. fleet bears the name of our 39th president. Fittingly, the USS Jimmy Carter's first commanding officer was relieved of duty on account of "loss of confidence" in his abilities. The Navy christened its latest aircraft carrier after our 41st president, George H.W. Bush, whose name now graces CIA headquarters at Langley as well as Houston's airport.
(Come to think of it, the airport in Anchorage, Alaska, is named after convicted felon Ted Stevens. Is it too late to rename Chicago's O'Hare Blagojevich International?)
"Call no man happy until he is dead" said the ancient Greeks, who understood that in life it's never too late to unmake a reputation. This was once an American creed, too: The U.S. waited 117 years after Thomas Jefferson's death for a memorial, 57 years after Abraham Lincoln's, and 52 years after Franklin Roosevelt's. The Adams family -- John, Abigail and John Quincy -- is also due a D.C. memorial, thanks to modern reappraisals of its legacy. That one took 160-odd years.
But what need is there for hindsight in the Age of Obama?
"His genome is global, his mind is innovative, his world is networked, and his spirit is democratic," gushes Time magazine's David Von Drehle in his "Person of the Year" profile of Mr. Obama. Time betrays its parochialism by almost invariably choosing the American president-elect for the honor every fourth or eighth year. But although the selection of Mr. Obama was predictable, Time's choice for a cover is instructive. The Che Guevara-esque, eyes-to-the-far-distance portrait by "street artist" Shepard Fairey is a throwback to the magazine's earliest days, when hero worship was considered an honest form of journalism.
Still, there's a difference. Charles Lindbergh was 1927's Man of the Year only after he had flown across the Atlantic. The man preceded the myth (even if the myth did not survive the man). Abraham Lincoln became a patron saint to all kinds of political movements and social causes not necessarily his own, but only after April 15, 1865. The cult of George Washington was well advanced by the time of his death in 1799. But it was a peculiar republican cult that grew in proportion to its object's disdain for it.
In Today's Opinion Journal
- Main Street: The President Comforts a Marine Mom
– William McGurn
- Global View: A Monument for Obama
– Bret Stephens
With Mr. Obama, by contrast, the myth precedes the man. Time's profile waxes long about the president-elect's "simple competence" -- the central evidence for which was the skill with which he and his advisers ran their campaign and the transition process. But if getting oneself elected president can predict executive competence, what do Time's editors now make of their choice of Mr. Carter in 1976, or of George W. Bush in 2004?
Time, of course, is mainly in the business of minting clichés, so to ask that it account for past choices is probably unfair. But clichés are also markers of the age. Two years ago, Time's Person of the Year was "You," which was supposed to be a tribute to the transformative effects of YouTube and Facebook and MySpace but was fundamentally an appeal to our narcissism. This year's choice of Mr. Obama is of the same piece. "We are the one's we've been waiting for," "We are the change that we seek," and "Yes we can" -- among his campaign's more memorable catchphrases -- are merely three solipsistic, dimly oracular, weirdly empowering tautologies neatly suited for this Me-We age.
Which brings us back to the idea of a monument. There's a case to be made that even if Mr. Obama turns out to be a mediocre or bad president, the very symbolism of his election is a historic achievement unto itself, a reflected monument to America, its promise, and every prejudice it has overcome. In this account, Mr. Obama is merely the guy who walked through weighty doors opened by others.
But that wouldn't be a monument for Mr. Obama. That monument will be to a presidency we already know will be great, because its greatness rests fundamentally on how it makes us feel about ourselves -- intelligent, broad-minded, good-hearted -- and bears only an abstract relation to whatever objective results it might achieve. It is a monument to a cult of personality in the making, a personality that will bear the name of Barack Obama but whose central character is -- who else? -- you. Imagine an interior space, with lots of mirrors, and you've got the basic design.

Electric Taxi comes on strong
Possibly the most important piece of info says the eTaxi business is down to two competitors WheelTug and the Honeywell-Safron.
It seems the Lufthansa has changed it's mind. L3 and Crane are no longer involved.
Their idea was a liquid cooled motor in the main wheels. (I suspect the heat from breaking would cook them)
The other possibility is that for the demo they removed the brakes.
Perhaps they couldn't find a way to fit them and the cooling system in with the brakes in place.
Honeywell-Safron put the motors away from the hub rather like the 2005 video from WheelTug.
They are not that bad but compared to WheelTug now they look clunky.
Speaking of the competition they have MOUs but no LOIs yet. :-)

LUCKNOW: ICICI Academy for Skills (ICICI Academy) announced to have provided training and placement to around 1000 students from Lucknow centre as on date. The academy is an institute set up by the ICICI Foundation to provide vocational training to the youth from economically weaker sections to help them earn a sustainable livelihood. In Lucknow, it was set up last year in May while across country it was launched in 2013. ICICI Academy has set up 22 centres across the country, including 10 exclusively for the training of women. It aims to provide practical training to the underprivileged youth in 13 disciplines like selling skills, office administration, web designing, electrical and home appliance repair, communication, financial literacy etc. Across country, it has trained about 45000 youth.

Chanda Kochhar, MD and CEO, ICICI Bank said: "Bridging the critical gap between manpower availability and employability is important to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for all to grow and prosper. With this focus, emerged the idea of setting up skill training centres across the country, and the launch of ICICI Academy for Skills in October 2013. We took a holistic approach in our efforts and are ensuring not just job-oriented training which is provided free of cost to the underprivileged youth, but also helping the trained youth to find employment through our linkage with industry."

- Pre-Partition fine arts academy invites artists from Pakistan
AMRITSAR: The Indian Academy of Fine Arts (IAFA), which was established before the Partition, has extended invitation to artists from Pakistan for joint performances and participation in various competitions, including painting, sculpting and fine arts, aiming to foster better relations between India and Pakistan that have soured in the recent past. "Art can go a long way to bridge gap between two countries, especially after the recent spurt in Kashmir violence. We have extended invitation to artists from the neighbouring country to visit here and perform," said the president of academy Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina while talking to TOI on Thursday. IAFA was established by a prominent artist Gurdit Singh along with other fellow artists in 1928 while the foundation stone of its main building was laid by the former President of India Dr Rajendra Prasad on April 13, 1961. Chhina, who had led an eight member delegation of artists to Lahore in the past, said art knew no language. "There are significant cultural similarities between the two Punjabs since before the Partition we were one," he said. He said earlier theatre artistes from Pakistan had been performing in India but now the academy had extended invitations to other performers as well. He said IAFA was keen to have competitions between artists from the two countries in streams like painting, drawing, graphics, sculpture making, clay modelling, photography, computer digital art, calico painting and art designing. "There has been a lot of tough talking between the two nations. Now, let the art and artists join hands and make strong bonds of love and affection," Chhina said, adding that they had sufficient infrastructure to host various art-related activities. "Our school of thought is quite similar, people of both countries wanted peace and art can be the medium for it," he said. He said that academy had also written to the Indian government seeking nod for cultural exchange programmes with various nations including Pakistan but had not been granted permission so far.
- Indian Academy of Fine Arts extends invitation to Pak artists
Indian Academy of Fine Arts, established in pre-Partition days, has extended invitation to artists from Pakistan for joint performances and participation in various competitions including painting, sculpturing, fine arts etc. aiming to bolster the relations between two nations which have taken a backseat in recent past.

Magna Products - De Pere, WI - Phone: (920) 336-2755
Gutters, in De Pere, are the narrow channels, or troughs, forming the component of a roof system aiding in collection and diversion of rainwater shed by the roof. The main purpose of the rain gutters is to protect a building's foundation by channeling water away from its base, reducing erosion, preventing leaks in basements and crawlspaces, protecting painted surfaces by reducing exposure to water, and providing a means to collect rainwater for later use.
Gutters in De Pere are generally made of a variety of materials, including cast iron, lead, zinc, galvanised steel, painted steel, copper, painted aluminium, PVC & other plastics, concrete, stone, and wood.
Downspouts in De Pere are, on the other hand, vertical pipes designed to carry the rainwater from a gutter to ground level in a sewer or rainwater harvesting tanks or into the ground through seepage.

Most Helpful
I wasn't sure how well we'd like this recipe, but I needed an apple/tomato chutney for the Sausage & Egg Pocket With Tomato Chutney recipe that I tagged in the Fall 2012 Pick-A-Chef event. I didn't want to buy a jar of something that we might not even like, but even if I wanted to I couldn't. I tried to find some at the store, just to get an idea of what I was going to make, but had no luck. Well, this was so easy my 6 year old made it (aside from the chopping), and everyone really enjoyed it! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Nickeletta! We'll definitely be making it again!

Blueberry Skillet Cobbler
Blueberry Skillet Cobbler
Most country cooks know the beauty of serving a cobbler right out of the cast-iron skillet it's cooked in. The pan is perfect for the dessert, because the berries, tossed with sugar, flour, and spices, are stewed first on the stovetop until thickened, so that the biscuits can be dropped onto the hot stewed fruit before the cobbler is slipped into the oven to bake.
Servings: Serves 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of the flour with 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the baking powder. Add the butter and, using your fingertips, rub the butter cubes into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Add the egg and cream and mix to combine the ingredients evenly and form a soft dough.
- In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, combine the blueberries, remaining 3⁄4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons flour, the orange zest, and the mace.
- Stir to coat the berries. Pour in the orange juice and set over medium- low heat. Bring the fruit to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 minutes to thicken the mixture and cook the flour. Remove the skillet from the heat. Drop rounded tablespoons of the biscuit dough onto the fruit, leaving a little space in between. There should be 12 to 16 biscuits.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 16 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.

According to a post on Red Flag Deals, a Canadian site dedicated to finding retail deals, certain Target stores in Canada are now offering the 8GB Wii U Basic for $149.99. Many people on the forums have mentioned placing their order and getting the unit at the stated price.
This comes after Asda's steep price cuts and eventual announcement that it would no longer be stocking Wii U units in their stores. As retailers opt to price the Wii U at their own deep discounts, Nintendo is going to have to do something in order to get the state of Wii U sales under control.
Currently there's no word on whether or not Target stores in the United States will have this discount.
