La loi du 4 mars 2002 relative à l'autorité parentale a octroyé aux JAF le pouvoir d'imposer une résidence alternée, au nom de «l'intérêt supérieur de l'enfant». Cet «intérêt supérieur» constitue une formule théorique qui désigne essentiellement l'intérêt des parents. Ces enfants de 0 à 6 ans, mais parfois plus âgés, sont très souvent traités comme des biens indivis qui relèveraient d'un droit de propriété. Ils sont donc partagés, condamnés à mener une double vie, sans repère fixe affectif ni géographique, avec toutes les conséquences qui s'ensuivent sur la construction de leur personnalité. Malgré les travaux des pays anglo-saxons qui nous ont précédé dans la voie de la résidence alternée et en constatent les méfaits chez nombre d'enfants, la loi définitive a durci sur certains points la proposition initiale. Le présent livre a pour objet de briser cette quiétude, d'informer, d'interpeller les consciences, de provoquer si possible une réaction politique pour modifier le texte de loi.

Le livre noir de la garde alternée

This collection of essays on the nature of art critics' authority and responsibilities addresses questions such as whether some art is beyond criticism, and how critics can bridge the gap between the art community and the general public.

The acclaimed work that debunks our myths and false assumptions about race in America Maurice Berger grew up hypersensitized to race in the charged environment of New York City in the sixties. His father was a Jewish liberal who worshiped Martin Luther King, Jr.; his mother a dark-skinned Sephardic Jew who hated black people. Berger himself was one of the few white kids in his Lower East Side housing project. Berger's unusual experience--and his determination to examine the subject of race for its multiple and intricate meanings--makes White Lies a fresh and startling book. Berger has become a passionate observer of race matters, searching out the subtle and not-so-subtle manifestations of racial meaning in everyday life. In White Lies, he encourages us to reckon with our own complex and often troubling opinions about race. The result is an uncommonly honest and affecting look at race in America today--free of cant, surprisingly entertaining, unsettled and unsettling.

An engaging exploration of the relationship between avant-garde art and American network television from the 1940s through the 1970s The aesthetics and concepts of modern art have influenced American television ever since its inception in the 1930s. In return, early television introduced the public to the latest trends in art and design. This engaging catalogue comprehensively examines the way avant-garde art shaped the look and content of network television in its formative years, from the 1940s through the mid-1970s. It also addresses the larger cultural and social context of television. Artists, fascinated with the new medium and its technological possibilities, contributed to network programs and design campaigns, appeared on television to promote modern art, and explored, critiqued, or absorbed the new medium in their work. More than 150 illustrations reveal both sides of the dialogue between high art and television through a selection of graphic designs, ephemera, and stills from important television programs--from The Twilight Zone to Batman to Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, and more--as well as works by artists including Salvador Dalí, Lee Friedlander, Agnes Martin, Man Ray, Andy Warhol, and many others. Revolution of the Eye uncovers the cultural history of a medium whose powerful influence on our lives remains pervasive.

This anthology takes us beyond the status of masculinity itself, questioning society's and the media's normative concepts of the masculine, and considering the extent to which men and women can transcend these stereotypes and prescriptions.
