'The Work Group Revisited: Reflections on the Practice of Group Relations' by David Armstrong
'Keep on Moving' by David Armstrong
'VALUE, SOCIAL IDENTITY AND HOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION PRACTICES: A BULGARIAN CASE STUDY' by Sophie Chevalier: The study of household consumption practices, and more generally, of material culture offers an inside view on social and cultural transformations of societies. This is especially true for Eastern Europe whose countries are living through fundamental changes in economic and ideological orientations. This work in progress is based on an ethnography of a small Bulgarian town. This topic is not new for me, since for a number of years I have carried out a comparative analysis of household consumption in France and Britain.
'Trieste: The Current Situation' by Tim Kendall: In 1978, Law 180 was passed in Italy, which led to the closing of old-style custodial mental hospitals and their replacement by new forms of care in the community. This was the culmination of a movement called Psychiatria Democratica, led by a Trieste psychiatrist, Franco Basaglia. The story of this movement, its history, politics and the current situation are narrated, along with refletcions comparing the Italian situation with that in Britain. This story should be of interest anywhere where the reform of an old-fashioned organization of mental hospitals is under consideration.
