| "Affinities : Potent Connections in Personal Life" |
| "How is it possible to feel an affinity with a place? What is happening when someone feels almost literally transported to another time by a smell or a texture or a song? Why do striking family resemblances sometimes feel uncanny? In each of these cases a potent connection is being made involving forces flows energies and atmospherics that conventional sociological approaches can find hard to grasp but that are important nonetheless In this innovative book Jennifer Mason argues that these are affinities potent charges and charismatically lively connections in personal life that rise up and matter in some way and that enchant or toxify the everyday She suggests that exploring affinities opens up new possibilities for conceptualizing the experience of living in the world through what she calls the 'socio-atmospherics of everyday life' This book invites the reader to embrace possibilities and themes that may seem outside the usual range and to engage in a more open attentive inventive and poetic sociological sensibility"

| "'I've been talking to brick walls' says Lacan meaning 'Neither to you nor to the Big Other I'm speaking by myself And this is precisely what interests you It's up to you to interpret me' These brick walls are those of the chapel at Sainte-Anne hospital Getting back in touch with his younger years as a junior doctor Lacan amuses himself improvises and lets himself go The intention is a polemical one the best of his pupils captivated by the idea that analysis evacuates all prior knowledge have been raising the banner of non-knowledge borrowed from Bataille No says Lacan psychoanalysis proceeds from a supposed knowledge that of the unconscious One gains access to it by the path of truth (the analysand ventures to say what comes to mind frankly and with no frills) when it comes to an end in jouissance (the analyst interprets what the analysand says in terms of libido) However two further paths bar access to this one ignorance (to devote oneself to it with passion is always to consolidate established knowledge) and power (the passion for might obliterates what is revealed by parapraxes) Psychoanalysis teaches the virtues of powerlessness this at least respects the real A wise lesson for an era this era of ours that has seen bureaucracy arm in arm with science dreaming of changing humankind in its deepest reaches - through propaganda through direct manipulation of the brain through biotechnology and even through social engineering Admittedly things were no better before but tomorrow they could be far worse Jacques-Alain Miller"

| "Why Demography Matters" |
| "Demography is not destiny As Giacomo Casanova explained over two centuries ago 'There is no such thing as destiny We ourselves shape our own lives' Today we are shaping them and our societies more than ever before Globally we have never had fewer children per adult our population is about to stabilize though we do not know when or at what number or what will happen after that It will be the result of billions of very private decisions influenced in turn by multiple events and policies some more unpredictable than others More people are moving further around the world than ever before we too often see that as frightening rather than as indicating greater freedom Similarly we too often lament greater ageing rather than recognizing it as a tremendous human achievement with numerous benefits to which we must adapt Demography comes to the fore most positively when we see that we have choices when we understand variation and when we are not deterministic in our prescriptions The study of demography has for too long been dominated by pessimism and inhuman simplistic accounting As this fascinating and persuasive overview demonstrates how we understand our demography needs to change again"
