  • Le cinéma populaire et ses idéologies

    Nicole Beaurain, Christiane Passevant et al.ARTICLEL Homme et la société2004Cited by: 1

    A feeling of obviousness, but also of malaise, is elicited by simply mentioning reproduction techniques. Analyzing the four key figures of the researcher, the doctor, the man and the woman on the basis of around a thousand medical files from the procreation assitance service of a hospital reveals how such feelings can be understood as the effect of factors such as medical power and gender domination as well as medicalization and calls to maternit…

  • L'État dans la tête et les pieds dans le plat: Hiérarchie et autorité dans les films de Louis de Funès

    Larry PortisARTICLEL Homme et la société2004

    The commercially motivated films of Louis de Funès reveal a ferocious scepticism and irony concerning social pretentions and abuses of power. In these films, de Funès plays undignified characters whose actions call into question subordination in all areas of life and in all social contexts. He develops a constant critique of hierarchical stuctures by caricaturing personalitiy types. French people, although generally the object of de Funès’ critic…

  • Les monuments et le temps qui court… Constructions autour du 11 septembre 2001

    Larry PortisARTICLEL Homme et la société2003

    History, Tradition and Folklorism. On Museification as a Contemporary Cultural PhenomenonContemporary interest for the past is no longer satisfied with the cultural models of folklorism. Modern historicism seeks to transform our environment into museified scenery and to submit daily life to the control of an expanding historical consciousness. The limits between yesterday and today, between the museum and its environment tend to fade away, in the…

  • Le syndrome Tarzan. L'émancipation et la domestication de l'être humain

    Larry PortisARTICLEL Homme et la société1999

    Larry Portis, The Tarzan Syndrome : On the Emancipation and Domestication of Human Beings Is the conditioning of human behavior such in industrial-capitalist societies that people have lost any aspiration for alternative ways of living ? Have they been so "domesticated" by their successive masters that they have lost any desire or will to achieve indépendance ? In fact, we know little about the interaction between biology and the environment. But…

  • Éducation morale et ordre moral: La Pérennité d'Une Sociologie Durkheimienne

    Larry PortisARTICLEL Homme et la société1999References: 1

    Larry Portis, Moral Education and Moral Order : The Political Uses of Durkheimian Sociology Because Durkheim 's sociology avoided any utopian project for society and tended to contribute to the maintenance of existing institutions and social relationships, education and the formation of moral consciousness are central to it. The force of durkheimian sociology lies in its capacity to give the impression of contributing to social reform while avoid…

    Larry Portis et Christiane Passevant, The Challenge for African Cinema : Between Culturalism and Imperialism The lack of a real film industry in Subsaharan Africa, and the control over the African market exercised by North American and French distributors, has maintained African filmmakers in a state of economic dependence. However, the incomplete process of political independence and the frustrations of African artists and intellectuals have con…

    Larry PortisARTICLEL Homme et la société1997

    Larry Portis, Popular Music and Capitalism : Towards a Sociology of Authenticity Music has an important place in the evolution of capitalist societies in adapting its rhythms, its cadences and the expression of themes which reflect emotional needs in a changing social environment. A sociology of popular music must therefore consider musical sensibilities and tendencies from both aesthetic and political points of view. Nowhere have musical culture…

    Larry PortisARTICLEL Homme et la société1997

    Larry Portis, Consensual Sociology and Terrorism : From Propaganda by the Deed to the Unabomber The strange collusion between terror and official sociology represents aspects of a capitalist society in the process of integration by the marginalization of its "extremes". Between terror and sociology, and between sociology and public opinion, the mass media play an essential role. At the present time, when consensual ideology seems to threaten the …

    Larry Portis, Between Marx and Weber : How Critical Sociology Confronted Consensual Ideology in the United States The evolution of social conceptualization in the United States since the Second World War shows how the conservative climate in the universities and prejudices against the ideas of social class and class struggle were reinforced by the "witch hunts". Sociologists who resisted, like C. Wright Mills and G. William Domhoff, had recourse …

  • Theoretical Reflections on Crises and Revolutions

    Larry PortisARTICLERevue française d’études…1995

    Les crises ne sont pas seulement des événements : la notion même de crise est une construction conceptuelle et un outil méthodologique. La nature de la crise en tant que phénomène historique a changé au cours du XIXe siècle et c'est sa récurrence qui conduit à l'idée de révolution. En effet les crises cycliques liées aux mutations économiques ont été si régulières qu'un changement révolutionnaire est devenu envisageable pour un nombre croissant d…

    Larry Portis, On "Postmodernist" Social Theory : Generation Gap, Epistemological Break and Historical Crisis The new perspectives called "postmodernist" and the methodologies called "deconstructionist" have not generally considered the question of generational change. This silence is understandable in terms of the social perceptions shared by the first generation of social thinkers of the postwar period who came of age during the 1960s. It is in …
