    Le mystère de la petite boîte… Représentations de l'incinération chez l'enfant et théories thanatologiques infantiles.Hélène Romano - 2013 - Dialogue: Families & Couples 199 (1):131-141.
    Bien que l’incinération soit une pratique funéraire de plus en plus fréquente en France, les enfants endeuillés restent souvent privés d’explication sur ce rituel, comme si celui-ci était plus traumatique et difficile à aborder que l’inhumation. L’article fait l’hypothèse que les théories thanatologiques infantiles présentent des spécificités dans de tels contextes. Cette réflexion s’appuie sur l’expérience clinique de l’auteur auprès d’enfants endeuillés et plus particulièrement sur le suivi de trente-six enfants de moins de 10 ans dont un proche a (...)

    Burning Issues: Cremation and Incineration in Modern India.David Arnold - 2016 - NTM Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, Technik und Medizin 24 (4):393-419.
    The cremation of human bodies and the incineration of urban waste provide two interrelated examples of technologies using the destructive power of fire that “travelled” in both directions between India and the West in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Rather than granting an automatic ascendency to western ways of burning the dead or disposing of urban rubbish, these case studies indicate the manner in which culture and environment inhibited or prevented their advance and favoured the survival or re-articulation of pre-existing (...)

    Demographic differences in public acceptance of waste-to-energy incinerators in China: High perceived stress group vs. low perceived stress group.Jiabin Chen, Xinyao He, Ye Shen, Yiwei Zhao, Caiyun Cui & Yong Liu - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Demographic characteristics have been recognized as an important factor affecting public acceptance of waste-to-energy incineration facilities. The present study explores whether the differences in public acceptance of WTE incineration facilities caused by demographic characteristics are consistent in residential groups under different perceived stress using data collected by a large-scale questionnaire survey conducted in three second-tier cities in China. The result of data analysis using a T-test shows firstly that people with low perceived stress have higher public acceptance of WTE incineration (...)

    How Not to Construct a Radioactive Waste Incinerator.Hugh Gusterson - 2000 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 25 (3):332-351.
    Sociologists of risk tend to presume that populations have static perceptions of risk that can be correlated with their degree of technical expertise or their structural relation to society. Such commentators show little interest in human agency unless it is the agency of professional risk communicators educating the public. This analysis of the conflict over a radioactive incinerator in Livermore, California, emphasizes the fluidity of public perceptions of the incinerator and the agency of activists in shaping those perceptions in a (...)

    An Evolutionary Game Theoretical Analysis to Conflicts among Stakeholders Involved in the Operation of Municipal Waste Incineration.Yang Yu, Rui Zhao, Yuxin Huang & Linchuan Yang - 2020 - Complexity 2020:1-16.
    This study presents an evolutionary game to model interactions among stakeholders with potential conflicts, including the operational enterprise of incineration plant, the local government, and the residents nearby. System dynamics is used to simulate the change of strategic actions corresponding to the three players, in order to seek for the evolutionary stability strategies. A numerical case is proposed to demonstrate the game theory application, in which the impacts of governmental incentive and punishment on the player’s actions are investigated. The results (...)

    Looking for the Cosmopolitical Fish: Monitoring Marine Pollution with Anglers and Congers in the Gulf of Fos, Southern France.François Mélard & Christelle Gramaglia - 2019 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 44 (5):814-842.
    Following a controversy over the construction of a waste incinerator in the Fos-sur-Mer industrial area, residents pointed to the lack of knowledge of the industry’s cumulative impact on their health and environment. Under pressure, some of their elected representatives supported the creation of an independent scientific organization, the Ecocitizen Institute for Pollution Awareness. Its objective was to conduct localized scientific research on the effects of pollution and to lobby the administration to change its regulatory practices. This paper examines the efforts (...)

    Governing Household Waste Management: An Empirical Analysis and Critique.Scott Cameron Lougheed, Myra J. Hird & Kerry R. Rowe - 2016 - Environmental Values 25 (3):287-308.
    We conducted a survey of residents of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, (n = 107) to understand their attitudes to and experiences of waste management and governance. Currently, the municipality is emphasising waste diversion and exploring new waste processing systems (WPS; e.g., incineration) to reduce costs. Using Foucault's governmentality theory, our data suggest Kingston's reliance on an attitude-behaviour-context model of behaviour change successfully fosters an environmental citizenship identity based on waste diversion (e.g., recycling). However, we argue that the neoliberal governmentality upon which (...)

    Une tombe hellénistique de Gjerbës (Albanie) : un marqueur culturel?Lavdosh Jaupaj - 2017 - Bulletin de Correspondance Hellénique 141:287-311.
    Retrouvée sur le territoire du Koinon des Bylliones, dans l’arrière‑pays d’Apollonia, l’épitaphe de Megallis non seulement enrichit le corpus des inscriptions grecques de la région, mais pose aussi le problème de l’identité des occupants de la nécropole. En effet, le mobilier funéraire, ainsi que le rite de l’incinération, renvoient à un contexte indigène, alors que le nom de la défunte est grec. Deux hypothèses sont alors envisageables ; la première fait de Megallis une Grecque d’origine qui se serait installée (...)

    La crémation dans la Bible ?. La mort de Saül et de ses fils (1 S 31 ; 1 Ch 10).Piotr Kuberski - 2009 - Revue des Sciences Religieuses 83 (2):185-200.
    Les références à la crémation sont extrêmement rares dans les textes bibliques. L’histoire de Saül et de ses trois fils reste un cas unique d’usage de l’incinération (1 S 31, 12-13). La signification de ce geste inhabituel dans le contexte biblique n’est pas claire. Depuis longtemps, le passage de 1 Samuel 31, 12 pose problème aux exégètes et aux historiens de la religion de l’ancien Israël. Cet article présente les diverses hypothèses qui furent proposées au sujet de la crémation (...)

    The Holocaust, the Human Corpse and the Pursuit of Utter Oblivion.Filotheos-Fotios Maroudas - 2019 - Conatus 4 (2):105.
    The purpose of this article is to show that the current incineration techniques of corpses are directly related to the Holocaust itself and its purposes. It is the same technique which, in the inhuman years of Nazi atrocities, was developed to be applied massively against the Jewish people and the other groups, because as a method it served and expressed both politically and ideologically the plan of a “final solution:” the final “dis-solution,” the disappearance of the human body even as (...)

    Research Ethics and the Precautionary Principle: Marching toward Environmental Decay.Peter Montague - 2003 - Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 12 (4):466-467.
    I recently read through the most recent 24 issues of Environmental Health Perspectives—the National Institutes of Health journal of, among other issues, scientific research into how environmental contaminants impact animal and human health. It is a catalog of horrors from a public health perspective. Fish and frogs with their sex scrambled; deformed frogs with altered hormone levels in their blood; a nearly threefold increase in birth defects among Minnesota farm children exposed to pesticides; 2,4-D exposure reducing hormone levels in men; (...)

    Fighting Corporate Swine.Heather Williams - 2006 - Politics and Society 34 (3):369-398.
    Much as developing countries have been saddled with unwanted incinerators, refineries, waste dumps, or dangerous assembly sectors in an era of global outsourcing, a great many U.S. rural communities have in the last decade and a half found themselves face-to-face with massive industrial livestock complexes. This article examines the alliances that emerged in opposition to corporate livestock complexes including farm and rural community associations and environmental organizations. This study of anti-factory farm campaigns in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri examines the circumstances (...)

  18. The Ground We Tread.Vilém Flusser - 2012 - Continent 2 (2):60-63.
    continent. 2.2 (2012): 60–63 Translated by Rodrigo Maltez Novaes. From the forthcoming book Post-History , Minneapolis: Univocal Publishing, 2013. It is not necessary to have a keen ear in order to find out that the steps we take towards the future sound hollow. But it is necessary to have concentrated hearing if one wishes to find out which type of vacuity resonates with our progress. There are several types of vacuity, and ours must be compared to others, if the aim (...)

    Auschwitz.Colin Richmond - 2022 - Common Knowledge 28 (1):61-65.
    This contribution to the final installment of the Common Knowledge symposium on contextualism is a reply to another contribution, Peter Burke's “Alternative Modes of Thought.” Or rather, this essay responds to the historians and social scientists whom Burke cites as arguing that only some ways of thinking are possible in any given place and time. Richmond's response is that a human context in which there is but one mode of thought in evidence, and no evident ambivalence regarding it, is a (...)
