Er führte von 1959 bis 2008 Kuba als Regierungschef und von 1976 bis 2008 als Staatspräsident mit diktatorischem Führungsanspruch. Er war mit der „Bewegung des 26. Juli" (M-26-7) treibende Kraft der kubanischen Revolution gegen den Diktator Batista 1959 auf Kuba. In den kubanischen und internationalen Medien wird er häufig auch als Máximo Líder (größter Führer) oder Comandante en Jefe (Oberkommandierender) bezeichnet. Castro wurde von seiner Mutter im römisch-katholischen Glauben erzogen. Ihr Glaube war vermutlich durch synkretische Elemente beeinflusst und der Santería ähnlich. Daher rührt wohl auch seine Besessenheit mit der Zahl 26. Er wurde unehel...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=1595 ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Indira Gandhi (Devanāgarī: इन्दिरा प्रियदर्शिनी गान्धी, IPA : ), née le 19 novembre 1917 et morte le 31 octobre 1984. Femme politique indienne, Premier ministre de l'Union indienne de 1966 à 1977, puis de 1980 à sa mort en 1984, et seconde femme au monde élue démocratiquement à la tête d'un gouvernement (après Sirimavo Bandaranaike à Ceylan en 1960). Fille unique de Jawaharlal Nehru, le premier Premier ministre de l'Inde et de son épouse Kamala, elle n'a aucun lien de parenté avec le Mahatma Gandhi ; Gandhi est le nom de son mari, Feroze Gandhi, journaliste et homme politique d'origine parsi qu'elle épouse en 1942. Poussée par son père qui veille à son éducation, même depuis sa prison d'où il correspond avec elle, Indira Nehru est élève à Poona, puis part étudier en Europe, à Oxford et en Suisse avant de rentrer en Inde. Elle adhère en 1937 au parti du Congrès, participe à la lutte contre le colonisateur et effectue en 1942 un séjour de six mois en prison pour ses activités. De son union avec Feroze naissent deux garçons, Rajiv Gandhi (1944-1991) puis Sanjay Gandhi (1946-1980). L'accession de Jawaharlal Nehru à la tête de l'Inde indépendante en 1947 fait d'Indira Gandhi la plus proche collaboratrice de son père. Elle l'accompagne dans le cadre de ses fonctions et voyages officiels, notamment à la conférence de Bandung en 1955, et vit auprès de lui dans sa résidence de Teen Murti. A la mort de son père en 1964, c'est en tant que ministre de l'Information et ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Pierre Bourdieu (1 August 1930 23 January 2002) was a French sociologist, anthropologist, and philosopher. Bourdieu pioneered investigative frameworks and terminologies such as cultural, social, and symbolic capital, and the concepts of habitus, field or location, and symbolic violence to reveal the dynamics of power relations in social life. His work emphasized the role of practice and embodiment or forms in social dynamics and worldview construction, often in opposition to universalized Western philosophical traditions. He built upon the theories of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Edmund Husserl, Georges Canguilhem, Karl Marx, Gaston Bachelard, Max Weber, Émile Durkheim, Erwin Panofsky, and Marcel Mauss. A notable influence on Bourdieu was Blaise Pascal, after whom Bourdieu titled his Pascalian Meditations. Bourdieu's work, whilst introducing various abstract concepts, was marked by clarity and readability. He rejected the idea of the intellectual "prophet", or the "total intellectual", as embodied by Sartre. His best known book is Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste, in which he argues that judgments of taste are related to social position. His argument is put forward by an original combination of social theory and data from survey...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=109275 ... Read more
