Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Influencing the Association Between Generativity, the Desire to Promote Well-Being of Younger Generations, and Purpose in Life in Older Adults at Risk for Alzheimer’s Diseas…
These findings provide insight into how the brain supports complex social behavior and, separately, purpose in life in at-risk aging. Affectionate social support may be a putative target process to enhance purpose in life in older adults. This knowledge contributes to future developments of personalized interventions that promote healthy aging

Le paradigme dominant des « démocraties libérales occidentales » n’est pas l’alpha et l’oméga des démocraties sur terre. Francis Fukuyama ne le réalise pas : il interprète les défis posés par le « nationalisme », la « religion » et peut-être par la civilisation non pas comme la nature inachevée des « démocraties libérales occidentales » en soi, mais comme la nature « inachevée du libéralisme en question ». D’un autre côté, je propose de considére…

Hijras, Sangomas, and their Translects
This essay focuses on hijras in India and on male women sangomas in Zulu gender-differentiated possession cults in South Africa. We approach these individuals through the travelling concept of “translects”, in the sense in which hijras and sangomas as “transgender individuals” cultivating a culture-specific, gender liminality use words to refer to themselves, their body parts, sexual orientation, societal rituals and practices, usually not in the…
Prisoners of Peace
As Irom Sharmila Chanu breaks her sixteen-yearlong fast on August 9, 2016, struggle for peace in India’s Northeast seems to have turned a full circle. On the one hand, her battle against the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act 1958—the law that empowers even a noncommissioned army officer to open fire on a civilian and in the process kill her with impunity, that is to say, without ever being tried in a court of law—by all accounts made her the “iro…
Whither Regionalism in India’s Northeast
The democratic institutions face the challenge of having to address regional demands without being pulled and swept away by them. While at one level the State prefers to distance itself from conceding to regional demands, at another, large parts of the Northeast get regionally reorganized and configured without the State having done it — through the use of wanton violence mostly by non-State actors—a phenomenon we describe as “virtual regionalism…
Border Economy and the Production of Collective Subjects in India’s East and the North East
While globalisation unleashes forces that the Indian State 1 finds increasingly difficult to stop and contain, a variety of intermediate institutions has emerged in recent years ranging between a fully securitised State and a State integrated fully into the world economy. These obviously call new configurations of border and border economy into existence as much as contribute to the production of new and hitherto unknown political subjects. Borde…
India’s Look East Policy
This article seeks to find out how the new policy thinking, namely, the ‘Look East’ apparently intended to deliver India’s Northeast from its presently landlocked and peripheral status produces new geopolitical imaginaries that are not necessarily bound by the limits set forth by it. The article is more about the gaze that India’s ‘Look East’ casts particularly on the Northeast and how it constitutes and imagines into existence a space that exten…
