Sociologie du dancefloor

«Murder on the dancefloor»: le titre de cette chanson de Sophie Ellis Bextor rappelle que la discothèque n’est pas seulement un lieu de défoulement. C’est aussi un espace de rencontre amoureuse qui est parfois le théâtre d’une implacable compétition sexuelle, comme le montre par exemple Michel Houellebecq dans le très noir Extension du domaine de la lutte. Dans ce court roman publié en 1994, le héros de Houellebecq est un informaticien médiocre qui ne possède aucune des caractéristiques requises pour plaire au sexe opposé. Lors d'une scène mémorable dans une boîte de nuit, au cours de laquelle il n'arrive pas à trouver de partenaire de danse, il obtient la confirmation de sa disqualification totale sur le marché de la séduction et assiste, résigné, au succès de ses congénères mieux placés dans la hiérarchie sexuelle. publicité La danse de boîte de nuit, qui s'apparente souvent à une parade amoureuse, est le reflet de cette «lutte» dont parle Houellebecq.

Webify Me – November 15, 2011 Posted in: Retired Two months ago Mozilla launched a campaign called Webify Me. The campaign was rooted in the idea that although there is one Web that we use, we all have different interactions with it, which makes the Web both unique and personal for each individual. Webify Me is a site that builds a fun, visual manifestation of the user’s personal Web. A few Mozilla friends participated and shared what their Web looks like to us and to our Firefox users.

Advice columnist Ann Landers said that the subject was the most controversial issue in her column's history. Defenders of either position cite advantages ranging from aesthetics, hospitality, and cleanliness to paper conservation, the ease of detaching individual squares, and compatibility with a recreational vehicle or a cat. Celebrities are found on both sides. Solutions range from compromise, to using separate dispensers or separate bathrooms entirely, or simply ignoring the issue altogether. Context and relevance[edit] Sociologists are often concerned that their discipline is seen merely as an elaboration of the trivial or the obvious. Burns' activity has been adopted by a social psychology course at the University of Notre Dame, where it is used to illustrate the principles of Berger and Luckmann's 1966 classic The Social Construction of Reality.

BBC iPlayer - Britain in a Day Where are you on the global fat scale? Notes: This calculator is based on research data pulled together by a team of researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Using UN data on population size in 177 countries, together with estimates of global weight from the WHO and mean height from national health examination surveys the team were able to calculate average BMI figures for each country. Using the values that you input into the calculator, it works out your BMI as well as where you are in relation to the rest of the population in your country and the world for your gender and age. As with all large data sets, there is a margin of error in this calculation, something statisticians call "standard deviation". * Your range is a reference to the "standard deviation from the mean", in other words your result is likely to vary within these boundaries.
